I was interested for a long while, but the demo turned me off a bit. The timing on the parry was to precise and not in a get gud scenario. I may play it if comes to psplus.
It's too bad, as I am a big fan of the franchise. I was one of the slim hopes for post timed exclusive release and then to ps5. I do think in the end they will lose out on some money just like Sony does on its exclusives. As long as great RPGs keep coming it won't be as big of a loss.
@IMustardMitt while Black Desert is an MMO, it can be enjoyed solo. I played solo for quite some time and had a blast. Fun areas. Huge places to explore. Like many MMOs though after 30+ hours it can get quite grindy, unless you start grouping up that is. That is when I dropped it.
@colonelkilgore fantastic! Enjoy! If you like guides, #lemoneatingcow had some good ones. I'm not sure if he was on twitch or youtube. It has been a long time.
Looks too complicated for me. I just need a franchise mode with a simple draft. No mid-week chores to upgrade your character. Let them level up based on performance in game with a bit of auto leveling. Think I'll try that techmo bowl remake.
@KaijuKaiser For me that's the great thing about this game. It will take me forever to beat it, but I plan on playing much like a D&D session. We get together once twice a month to play. As far as this game, I plan on playing more than that of course, but over time I'll add other games and this will just be played less frequently.
@deathaxe I had that spell in Pathfinder wotr. It turned my whole party into bears. Was fun for a bit, but pathfinder was brutal if you were not optimized.
As I have been so excited for this game, I'm trying not to spoil the story yet I keep watching videos. I've resigned to watching videos but fast-forwarding dialog and just watching combat and traversal. I'm going to try and only watch act 1 as well. Hopefully I can hold off. Less than a month away!
I'll be waiting for the ps5 version as my cpu can handle BG1 and 2 but not 3. Ill watch plenty of videos though and try to avoid major spoilers. Have fun yoi PC owners
@Khayl very true and a couple of the origin characters are tempting. However I always make my own on a first play through if possible. That does remind me I have to go back and play Fane or Lohse in DOS 2. What type are you planning on playing?
They are definitely putting a lot of effort into this and it is much appreciated. I'm still debating on which class. Must watch more videos. We will all soon have a plethora of them thanks to pc release ina couple days.
Divinity is a great world setting. A new game or a full remake of Divine Divinity would be fantastic. I will probably still be playing BG3 when that comes out on my 40th play through.
I'm on the hype train. 17k affected choices or not. I'm hearing, many decisions in a rpg. I have the deluxe pre-ordered but for the first time actually considered the collector edition. The statue is amazing and it would support Larian Studios. I'll be playing this for couple years I'm sure. Once I start to get tired of playing the rpg I'll switch to playing like an actual D&D campaign and only play once or twice a month. I'm just glad I didn't need to buy a cpu to play it.
Nice! Looks more like a game I'd enjoy as Madden has gotten to technical for my old brain. I enjoy a fun franchise mode without having to practice each week with players to slowly level them up.
@Shakybeeves couldn't agree more. Yes, the romance scenes would cause a bump to the sales, but mainly due to knowing all the romance options. To PushSquares credit, this article does mention other reasons, however the title and main focus on the bear are sad to see.
Is a bit over long, but like he said I can drop out and come back later. I did that with DOS2 and Pathfinder Wraith of the Righteous. It's easier to drop out and come back with these games as turned based gives you time to relearn and use different strategies. Glad I'm not a trophy hunter though. That would be a huge time sink. Still super excited for this game.
This is my most anticipated game this year. Sad to see it delayed, but a week is no problem. I do have it pre-ordered and I am looking forward to the 72 hour early access. Larian studios are tops on my list for making great isometric rpgs. They are currently running a murder mystery taking place in Baldurs Gate. You can help solve the case and pick via vote which direction solving the case will go next. I'm eating it all up.
@IAmAshCohen17 @Ravix I copied a link to the shortest recap of the first 2 games to give you an idea of history. https://youtu.be/N-teY77zCws
There are however many recaps, some by wolfheartfps are the best. He is my goto for all things Baldurs Gate 3
Saw the list and noticed a game I haven't heard of, Rogue Stormers. Watched the trailer. It looks like a rogue-like Contra game. Will check it out before it goes. So many games on these plus tiers, easy to miss some.
@kyleforrester87 might have to start a BG3 thread when it comes out. I know you and I are more vocal fans of isometric rpgs on this site. Maybe we can get a few more as well.

Re: PS5 Fans Note Very Fast Start to 2024 Release Schedule

Re: Hellboy Web of Wyrd Punches Up a PS5 Release Date in October
The Graphic novels are fantastic. Holding on to that art style is great. It does look extremely janky though. Will play on extra.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Narrative Is Structured Like a 'Spiderweb', with 17,000 Ending Permutations

Re: Larian Studios Gets TikTok Ban for Bear-Form Druid Sex Scene in Baldur's Gate 3
For me it was increasing their attraction to each other. Both having beasts inside that are hard to control. Not so much just a bear thing
