This game is for brainwashed.
This game is for brainwashed players by the marketing.

I did start with DOS1,2 then I got BG3 on GoG because there are more games with better discounts.

DOS1 I have quitted it, always getting stucked in the maps and in the quests.

DOS2 was a little better but still getting stucked anywhere.

Then BG3.

First of all I don't considerate this game the sequel of Baldur's Gate.

Obsidian should have made the sequel of Baldur's Gate.

BG3 is better than DOS but what the hell with the turn based fights?

Baldur's Gate has always been based on real time fights, and that's one of the many things that made that game fun.

BG3 could have been a good sequel for DOS, but not for Baldur's Gate. And nowhere they made it see the game is turn based.

Definetely, I don't like it.

And for those noobs with the clown icon on their bookmark because they are clows, feel free to give me points, like I give a f.a.q. about your "opinions", if you ever had one.

Same Obsidian who couldn't crack 20k players for their Avowed game? That Obsidian? The same one that doesn't seem to be able to sell their current Fantasy game? Larian sold double digit millions btw. Clearly they did something right where Obsidian has not.

I think what he's saying is that this game is not a spiritual successor to BG1 and BG2, which is all but undeniable. Larian took the name of an intensely popular series, then said '♥♥♥♥ the art style, ♥♥♥♥ the general vibe, ♥♥♥♥ the combat system - here's this ultra-high fantasy, rainbow colored digital board game you can play with your friends.'

Saying Larian is better as evidenced by the fact that their game is better, as evidenced by the fact that they sold more - without mentioning a very cynical use of the IP - is at best disingenuous.

BG3 is... not a good game. There's nothing good about it. It is a digital rendition of a board game. The story is contrived, contradictory, and uninteresting.

BG3 was the recipient of a LOT of external factors that helped the game catch fire. Mostly due to internet appeal. You could play it in EA during COVID. Play it with friends. Because it is so static and inflexible, there are all these exploits/builds/OP items to read about on the internet. The way the game is a DnD simulator makes it kind of the perfect setting in which to ♥♥♥♥ around and produce TikTok-length content. You can allegedly smash a bear. Its just got all the internet things.

That and everyone was pumped to give it GOTY as a middle finger to the rest of the industry.

Thats all fine.... but the game isn't good. No one can honestly tell me there's an individual aspect of this game that is superior to just any average game.

Not caring about each others opinions is something we share in common.

Yes.

And there's a very good reason why Larian has succeeded where Obsidian hasn't in recent years.

Outerworld, and didn't like it.

But what does this have to do with the point I made? Obsidian cannot crack 20k players for Avowed, so why would I trust them to make BG3 when Larian cracked 300k players concurrently and double digit millions in sales by the end of 2023?

EDIT: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, had double checked the numbers; BG3 cracked 800k, hitting 875k concurrent players whereas Avowed cannot crack 20k. Yeah, **** outta here, who the hell in their right mind would trust Obsidian to this franchise???? Stop smoking crack. It's not good for you.

Guys, just a reminder the title has the term "Brainwashed" in it with zero evidence of any "brainwashing". Right in the title they let you know this thread is not to be taken seriously so have fun but don't react like there is any seriousness to be had.

Dude, you are not playing Baldur's Gate, you are playing "Baldur's Gate", and it's different.

Anybody who know BG1,2 very well can say the huge difference. At the least games from Obsidian are very close to Baldur's Gate, and do not think this company is so great, they only heva 4 games for sale.

Obsidian is part of Microsoft.

Okay, you don't like the game. Cool.

What are we supposed to do with that information?

You don't like this game, others like this game. Who cares?

Well, yeah. BG3 isn't RTwP, and it uses the current version of the setting and rules. So of course BG3 is different from BG1 and BG2.

So what?

Then go play Pillars of Eternity?

Larian has been contracted to make a sequel in their own style. If Hasbro wanted the same type of gameplay they would have contracted Obsidian.

Their own style, not Baldur's Gate style.

At the least I'm not playing a SJW game.

Hasbro owns WotC, they determine what's Baldur's Gate's "style", not a random.
