Simply put, one of the greatest games ever made!!

I am finally on the home stretch of act 3 after 80 glorious hrs.

Can't wait to see how it all ends!!

Snookies12276d ago

I'm really excited to give this a go! I haven't played it yet, and barely know anything about it or the series in general. (Other than of course being DnD inspired/related.) I just hear so many amazing things about it, I must find out for myself. As well as give support to these developers that have clearly earned it!

Flawlessmic276d ago

I was in the same boat as you!

All I can say let your imagine run wild in the game, and enjoy the adventure you craft for yourself.

Ur playthrpugh will likely be wildy different to mine, but I hope you enjoy it.

Larian have achieved something special here, make no doubt about it!!

Same, it can't get here fast enough.

I was all into Baldur gate 3 thinking it would be like Diablo hack and slash your way through. But baldur gate 3 is a point and click game on ps4 and ps5 why is that with a controller??
for those reasons did not buy it.

The 90's SSI and TSR D&D games were some of the best ever made. The Dark Sun series was one of my favorites.

No physical version means I won't buy BG3 until there is a physical version.

meganick276d ago

I think the massive file size is what’s preventing them from shipping it physically. They would need to print 3 discs to fit the whole game. I guess they figured that wasn’t practical or worth the investment.

Solitariussaint276d ago

Apparently BG3 is not that much bigger than Red Dead Redemption 2, FF7 remake or TLOU2 part II.

Ultra Blu-ray disks have a max capacity of about 100 gigs, so needing 2 100 gigs Ultra Blu-rays is pretty common on modern consoles.

So no, 3 100 gig Blu-rays would be overkill, only needs 2 Ultrablurays which are quite common.

I guess if they don't want to sell more copies of the game due to it being digital-only then it's not a videogame that I find worthy of purchasing either.

Baldur's Gate 3's Side Quest Design is its Secret Weapon

With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.

Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.

Dirty_Lemons3d ago

Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.

This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.

Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Physical Deluxe Editions Delayed Due to Production Issues

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.

Baldur's Gate 3 is so good it might actually be a bad place to start with RPGs.

Baldurs Gate 3 was great, but I dont think it is as crazy as people make it out to be. I actually think Starfield is closer to being a crazy insane once in a lifetime game, but Im ready for the flak Im about to get.

AndrewM5d ago

If you think that then you either A never played Bg3 or B never watched anyone else play it, or C you don't know anything about the game, or D you played it and have no idea of the marvel it is in every single aspect of game design. It doesn't matter what game you compare it to, it doesn't hold a candle. Let alone starfield.

Armaggedon4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

A. Ive played it thrice
B. Played with others, so there are moments of watching
C. Know more than I would care to about the game
D.
Thats quite bold, seeing as there are an inumerable amount of games for it to contend with. I also know plenty of people with their own gripes with the game.

As someone that creates things, and has actively sought to gather intel and understanding, I would say Baldurs Gates very nature makes it so it would have a hard time sitting upon the lofty throne you have given it. Similar to a Bethesda game, it is a game with a very large number of permutations and variables to consider, despite being smaller in scale by direct comparison.

Exemplary mastery of design philosophy is more certain to appear in a game that is for confined. One of the reasons I see Starfield the way I do is simply Bethesedas approach of breaking the rules. Anyone should hopefully know that you just dont try to fit a Bethesda game into a space game, but they found a way to pull it off. Do to the nature of large scale open world games, whether it is efficient or not depends on the angle one is looking at.

Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes

Part 2:
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes, it will seem disjointed and lazy; however, to those who realize what Bethesda were going for, you will see that the game is severely underestimated. The idea of God is hated and loved by many, and there is much controversy. Starfield is closer to that idea than people even notice.
