Eight of the 14 reviews in for Baldur’s Gate 3 are 10/10s. Nothing is below a 9.
Meh, fuck Nintendo.
Nintendo managed to make an open world action-adventure more tedious than a turn based cRPG
Get your downvote ready everyone, I haven’t played the new Zelda but I did play and beat botw and it was just okay for me. I found it to be very over rated. It’s not even close to my top 10.
I definitely had to push to finish the game
Have no desire to touch Total if I’m being honest.
Tears of the Kingdom is a lot better, from someone who also thought Breath of the Wild was overrated.
TotK makes BotW feel like an unfinished Beta. This is coming from someone who didnt complete BotW but beat TotK with all shrines and such. The fact that you can make a custom airbike and even use it in some dungeons makes all the difference, IMO.
I’ve picked it up twice and it was a snore both times. The fact that you can’t continue after you beat the game is dumb and I absolutely despise the weapon durability bullshit.
I realize on an intellectual level I live in a world where Zelda games are revered for some reason. Don’t play them, can’t stand console/j- rpg’s and don’t know anyone that plays them but especially online they seem to be the Alpha and Omega. THAT’s why this is such a big thing, you can’t compare games but to surpass the ultimate internet fanboy dream game by just making a great RPG is ballsy and just what gaming needed right now.
The reason they are revered is that over the last 27 years, the Legend of Zelda franchise has consistently put out one good game after the next with few, if any real blemishes on their record. After almost 3 decades of consistently putting out games that are fun, innovative, and kinda familiar all at once, the fanboys may have a minor point with their obsession of the games.
This is such a hot take I didn’t know I shared.
Zelda games aren’t bad by any stretch, in fact they seem great. But they’re treated as sacred to an extent I’ll never understand.
imagine Larian keeps putting out banger after banger for decades… that’s why Zelda is revered.
If you thought TOTK let you do whatever you wanted to destroy monsters, wait till you see what BG3 offers. 😃
I grab every explosive barrel I find out of combat to help when I get into combat. Little powder keg, a little fireball, poof. No more bad guys.
I fell in (more) love when I realized I could grab a goblin and attack another with it…but there was just the one goblin. So I attacked the ground. Gobbo took bludgeoning and fire damage because the ground was on fire.
I’ve seen water can douse fire, and electricity synergizes with it; however with all the dark and undead, I was wondering if I might bless water and make it holy. The bless spell is only targetable on creatures, so that ain’t it 🤷🏻♂️
Also, it can be hard to see with the camera being so finicky but chandeliers and other hanging objects can be attacked to make them fall, causing massive damage or even opening holes in the ground.
If I wasn’t so deep in my playthrough, I would start over as a monk and just Jackie Chan my way through combat.
I’m really saddened that they don’t let me play a complete idiot. And it’s a bit buggy, but not impossible. That’s my criticism.
I crashed like 2 times in my 20 hour playthrough thus far since release in the grove. But that’s about it as far as bugs go. I’ve seen much much worse games this close to release
It had some bugs the first 2 days. And weird interactions. Like the UI would sometimes completely disappear when you switched characters so you had to reload. For weird interactions: when I was in the goblin camp and befriended the spiders I could talk to the guards behind the gate and they reacted like I was not on the other side of the gate. I also had to spam click the lever there to be able to pull it since it just wouldnt work with magic hand until I spammed the click
You can befriend the spiders? Ok I need to get this game… And a computer that will run it…
