The saddest thing is that with the destruction of the media over the past 20 years, I'm still waiting to hear whether it's actually any good or not.
It's super fuckin good. If you liked dos2, it's basically that but with more immersive conversations, more potential dialogue trees, more DnD like, and more titties and dongs.
i was flabbergasted to see titty and (various) dodongos on my character just like that. it's rad as fuck! I've spent the past 2 hours pretty much just reading flavor text. 100% worth the asking price, especially since it runs perfectly on my potato pc on ultra.
Msdos?
What is that? A character in Act 2?
It’s good, best with a group
Definitely not unless your group is insanely dedicated to keeping it serious. All it takes is one person who doesn't care about lore or the story or some NPC talking to rush through something or make a joke and completely take you out of it. I could never play it in a group on my first serious play.
Just like regular D&D!
it's best in any format, imo. shaping up to be my all-time favorite game.
The group glitch where someone can’t leave your party once they join is pretty bad.
It's very good. Larian studios really went above and beyond with the level and attention to detail. The replayability is incredible. Most streamers are still on act one and there is no shortage of stuff to do. Edit: autocorrected a word
Guessing some kinda typo/autocorrect business going on here, but just to cover the bases, it's Larian, not Latharian.
Yeah I think part of the reason there's so few reviews is that the game is so large that not my reviewers have finished it yet. Or at least a lit of what I'm seeing are "reviews in progress"
What are you even talking about
Fucked a tiefling with my dragon penis, 10/10
It’s fantastic, if you have any familiarity with d&d and enjoyed that experience then you’ll love this.
I'm hoping it gets game of the year, or at least, in the running for it and a good portion of the awards.
I mean the only real contender I could imagine would be TOTK which is so much less accessible, and I can't see how it'd get any leg up on BG3. It's only on one console, and there's zero consideration for other experiences (there's not even separate sfx/music volume sliders, it's all the same channel)
I get Nintendo has everybody's nostalgia in a vise and TOTK is certainly a great game, but imo BG3 is all that with the addition of being able to play it where and how you want it with actual modern disability and experience considerations. Not to mention the performance difference (which isn't everything, but for people who get motion sick from choppy framerates it's not nothing either)
If starfield experiences a wholly different launch to every other bethesda game ever, then it's maybe in a similar playing field but I'd wager it's nowhere near as polished as BG3 is.
Tears of the kingdom is a typical Nintendo game. Fun, but very mid and extremely safe. The thing with tears too is that its 80% recycled content from botw with one new very interesting gimmick. It's a creative gimmick but one gimmick does not goty make.
Edit: as for starfield I have little to no interest in it, it's cool Bethesda is making a new ip but as a rule, Bethesda games are pretty mid as well. The only reason people still talk about skyrim is because of how moddable it is. It would have fallen into obscurity otherwise. It's a nice exploration game similar to the Zelda games, but that's all it really has to offer outside of the mods. But because of the mods it has infinity replayability. No two games are alike, and if you want. You can completely change your experience.
I dont know anyone who has recently talked about tears, let alone play it. It's no elden ring that has dominated my feeds the entire year it came out and even still finds its way in without searching for it specifically. Out of curiosity I checked twitch streams at peak hours and tears had 3k... when stardew valley had 6k. It just fails to really cement itself. It's a typical Nintendo experience. But like...how many endings are there? how many ways can you play link? What's the name of any new npc? The robot thing is cool but other than that it's just... breath of the wild.
It’s good. It may well be my favorite game, ever.
