So instead of the usual delay announcement, Larian is treating us with a prepone announcement?

Abriael717d ago

Pushed forward on PC, slightly delayed on PS5.

And delayed on Series X because of the Series S is holding it back. That's the technical hurdles he's talking about

RaidenBlack717d ago

Yea I was primarily referring to the PC version ... Larian being a PC first studio and Baldur's Gate being originally a PC focused franchise.

I’m gonna have to rearrange my vacation now. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

The size and scope of this game is actually scary. They're saying this game is 4 times bigger than Divinity Original Sin 2. I played that game once and it took 137 hours. Could Baldur's Gate 3 actually be 500 hours long for a thorough player? I get the feeling I won't even be halfway done with BG3 by the time Starfield comes out.

I also want this game! September and October will be busy for me!

Very very disappointing that Larian is not producing physical copies for the PS5...

QuantumMechanic716d ago (Edited 716d ago )

I emailed Larian and asked after I couldn't find any physical preorder at Best Buy or Amazon. I asked them to reconsider, suggesting a preorder window with limited print-run. I asserted that I and others would even pay a reasonable premium.

I mean I was planning on getting digital anyways, but that's a huge bummer for those that prefer to have the disc!

Baldur’s Gate 3 Is The Kind Of Game That Makes Me Wish I Could Play One Thing At A Time

I respect people who can dig deep on one game, and only one game, but I can't do it.

I used to play multiple games at a time but because of the time constraints I have I don’t have a choice but to play one game at a time or I’ll end up with some unfinished games. I like to get platinums for the games I enjoy the most so it can take me a long time to get to the next game.

It definitely takes some will power as I always have a stack of games I want to play at all times. But most of the games I play are really good and I am fully immersed when I’m playing a single game at a time.

Same here. I’ll focus on a game that I really enjoy and get the most out of it before moving onto the next title. That is why I have a massive backlog of games now.

Armaggedon22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Same for me. I play so many games, currently playing oblivion, expedition, blades of fire, bg3 with friends , avowed, and Nioh 2. After learning more about myself and gaining mastery, I have developed an ability to get fulfillment from a game without needing to “complete” it. Unless of course, a game hooks me for the story, in which case I have to complete it to see what happens. I have discovered that in terms of gameplay, one can get most if not all of the expected experience in about 25% of progress through play.

Ninver22d ago

Sounds like renting is the best way to go in your case. No point in buying games you won't complete.

Armaggedon21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

It depends on what one deems as “complete.” For some, it is completing the story, and for others it is completing all tasks and objectives. Usually when this happens, people will feel “that was fun, whats next.” There is always a whats next. Cant think of anyone that has consumed media and thought “I am completely satisfied and will not need to play or watch another. I have simply mastered this “hunger” if you will. I am able to get so far in a game and then move to another without needing to reach a certain requirement. A benefit of this is that I do not get bored, as that game I didn’t beat still has mystries to unravel and new things I haven’t done.
