i really enjoyed the fuck out of larians previous two games divinity1 and divinity 2 were pretty fucking amazing
a more action oriented classic isometric crpg
but both those games were total disasters on release and had to release "definitive" editions with all the bugs squashed and balanced, so i dont know, waiting for to see some people with worthwhile vidya taste talk about it
kind of wish it actually continued the whole throne of baal storyline from the first two games

it's cool because you can do stuff in conversation
>changing clothes
>shorty comes up and initiates conversation
>discussing the nature of man while staring at braveheart's junk
or
>hot wife abducted by goblin priest
>come up on them conversing with her
>thats my wife
>sneak party members behind
>interrupt conversation with daggers

>>7287makes sense why they wouldnt
lik obv its BG, so all the old BGoomers were gonna play it anyways
but if you wanna make a game thats accessible outside the 30/40-somethings who played the first two, making a direct sequel to a 30yo game
that itself was a direct sequel to a slightly older game would be raly dumb.
besides its not like you were gonna be moving your old character saves off some 30yo HDD

>>7267I doubt nostalgia was the primary seller for Baldurs Gate. No triple AYYYYYYY games studio is going to make a game to cater to a niche audience of people who played the originals. Most game sales today come from the social media influencer hivemind/hype train shit. I would bet the vast majority of people that played the game never even heard of first two games and just bought it because they saw it on Twitch/Youtube. Two good examples of this are Fallout 3 and the Witcher 3.

No.7321
>>7320yah it was advertised pretty heavily anywhere that sold vidger gaems but as far as comparing it to current day advertising goes this was only like a year (if even that) after smartphones became a thing and nowhere near as many people had them so in regards to reaching out to the general population in-store displays and magazine ads were way more effective because being online at the time was still limited to a comparatively small portion of the population instead of fucking every idiot having ready easy and fast access to it 24/7. it was certainly towards the end of such advertising methods being the primary way that companies advertised their games though it was only a couple years later when poors started getting access to cheaper smartphones then the poos got widely available internet and suddenly you could just sponsor a few idiots with stupid haircuts to shill something instead of shelling out millions to advertise irl and get much better returns

It looks pretty decent from what I have seen.
It takes some gameplay from the OG Baldurs Gate, a bit from Divinity and a splash of Dragon Age Origin aka Bioware's last good game.
If this goes on sale im finna buy it.

>>7330>125gbjesus
storage aint the problem tho my machine is ~10 years old so if all the textures and general grafix are that ridiculously bloated id prolly have to build a new pc to handle it

like its a given there will be poz but if its not a ridiculous intolerable amount im gonna get a better grafix card and pirate it

>>7334idk i dont pay that much attention to newer stuff anymore i was being a pessimistic bitch
im sure if it was as fucking awful as most triple ayy nugames we both wouldve seen plenty of obnoxious marketing articles about it being stunning and brave by now. im gonna try it when i upgrade my toaster and i'll provide a download link when i find one

DSP apparently is having a rough go with this game LMAO. He is apparently raging and banning viewers left and right.
I think its doubly funny because I'm pretty sure he rage quit Divinity OS 2 which a viewer payed for him to play. Based Larian tbh. The mark of successful game design is that it make DSP rage.

finished
i clocked in at about 100H, but there was probably at least another 20+ hours of big side quests and who knows small quests still left but i just wanted to be done with my playthrough because my build was becoming tedious
ending seemed a littler underwhelming mostly because of lack of polish (transitions between quest end scenes was sorta jerky)
id give this gayme a 8/10, very good and i had fun
defintely enjoyed the acts 1 and 2 more than three, tho. i understand the decisions they made, tho. once you get that far in theres only so much branching you can reasonably do. smaller insular stories makes sense that late in the game
