IGN : While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good. In this opinion from Destin Legarie we explore why fans feel this way and why they're celebrating games like Baldur's Gate 3, and Elden Ring.
If you were a bit miffed about not getting some cool dialogue options as a Paladin when it comes to specific gods, this article is just for you. Some Baldur’s Gate 3 players share a helpful PSA on how to get more thematic and god-specific dialogue options out of Paladins, without having to resort to mods.
A new Baldur’s Gate 3 mod brings Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 content to the popular Larian RPG for free on PC.
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.
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.
Sounds like renting is the best way to go in your case. No point in buying games you won't complete.
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.
That's good we need devs to feel pressure
BG3 Sets the bar high, some devs that attend/speak at gdc don't want high quality, they want to push push push (regardless of quality) shit.
You mean like how a team of 400 people managed to make such a high quality single player game without any scummy anti-gamer business practices.
Ubisoft sweating in the corner…
When I used to play Worms 2 online with one of my buddies in 99 at least one of them would rave about the original game, Command & Conquer and also Age of Empires. Really popular games back in the day.
Good. They should panic. I'm tired of paying $101 CAD for unfinished trash.
