Agreed. Also a good time to buy it. Act 3 was so buggy on release but they’ve been shooting out patches non stop for the last year almost
Comment on The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing
ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 2 years agoEnjoy. One of the best games ever made.

I’m 100 hours in and just about to wrap up the story (I think). And I’m gonna go back and replay because I skipped a TON in acts 1 and 2. It’s such a good game
Infinite_Indecision@midwest.social 2 years ago
I didn’t skip the stuff in previous acts, and getting close to the end of my first play through on tactician. I’m currently thinking I’m going to land around 250hrs

It’s “Escape From Robotropolis”?
arefx@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
Not to be a contrarian, the game is good, but I seriously don’t understand how it’s one of the best games ever made. Just my opinion no one asked for, but I know I can’t be alone. Only other game I can think that’s more overhyped is breath of the wild.
Xanis@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Sounds like those just weren’t your type of game. Chances are I could toss a rock at work and hit someone who thinks COD is the best franchise on the planet. Not saying you’re wrong, your opinion is valid, just that to people who lean even a little more towards that kind of experience, to them these games are gold.
arefx@lemmy.ml 2 years ago
You’re not wrong, and man too many people lobe cod even tho it’s what I’d consider objectively not good.
candid@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
It’s really hard to get a gauge on what you consider an excellent game without knowing some of your favorites. Might inform us on why you don’t consider two highly praised games as overhyped.

Facts sister/brother, spit your shit indeed!
Everyone knows the best games ever made belong to the King’s Quest series by Sierra.
/j…mostly…

Ah, Sierra. The game company almost singlehandedly responsible for creating a generation of masochists.
You’re still right.

Lmao 🤣

BG3 is annoying as fuck. There’s far too much sequential quest nesting that blocks you out of content for no reason. Not to mention the bugs. Save scumming shouldn’t be part of normal gameplay.
skulblaka@startrek.website 2 years ago
The reason is for replayability and having a fresh experience each time. You get blocked out of content because there are about 60 unique paths you can take through the game with different content for each.
The few I experienced personally were fixed within a couple months of release. I haven’t seen a bug of any sort, actually, since January.
Then… Don’t do that. Save scumming also isn’t a part of tabletop gameplay. You fail a roll or fuck up your plan, you deal with the outcome. Saves are only for emergencies if some bug does come up.
You’re allowed to not enjoy the game, and that’s fine, it’s not for everyone. But your reasons why are poor reasons.
TheSambassador@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I do think BG3 is a very impressive game and deserves a lot of the praise it gets.
That said, it sucks how finicky it is to run away from a fight. There’s way too many fights that just sort of happen with very little explanation as to why they’re attacking you. It’s also waaay too easy to accidentally steal things and trigger fights, especially on controller.
You basically do have to save scum a little, because one accident can lead to an entire town being pissed at you. If the game had better ways to de escalate combat and some better signposting of consequences, it’d be a 10/10 game

I absolutely love the game. Single player runs great, but multiplayer is bug city. Dialogue lines cut abruptly in the middle, characters listening in to dialogue turn invisible when it stops, actions in combat are sometimes inexplicably unavailable unless you can switch to someone else and switch back, etc. Nothing game breaking so far, but my husband and I experience a few bugs every time we game together.

Example? Most of the sequential questing is mecessary for the complex narrative of a tabletop campaign.
FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Rescuing hostages from the Moonrise Towers. It warns you against entering before you find the bad guy’s immortality, which sends you to save the Nightsong. If you do that, all the hostages die/disappear and you fail the rescue missions for no reason. The Iron Hand dwarves then won’t show up in Act 3, locking you out of that content.
charles@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
I completely agree, I really enjoyed D:OS II but I just haven’t been able to get into BG3 so far. I can’t say anything was bad or poorly accomplished but it’s just not clicking for me yet why everyone claims it’s the greatest game of all time.
