The story of Baldur's Gate is basically as old as the pen and paper / D&D universe itself. Since the first Baldur's Gate was released, it has almost single-handedly transported the pen and paper feeling into the digital world. BG2 has made it even more extensive and a bit more interesting. Since then, many games have tried to put this feeling into their own projects. We basically all know them. Skyrim, Witcher, etc. One studio that discovered the feature of consequences for itself was the young studio Quantic Dream. With Fahrenheit, the sequels Heavy Rain, beyond two souls and finally Detroit Become Human. So many different ways to tell your own story where certain people can die right at the beginning. With Skyrim, it was the variety and design of the avatar. And of course to some extent the story too. The world feels tangible and comprehensible. And now, over 20 years later, after 3 years of Early Access, the long-awaited Baldur's Gate 3 is coming out. What I (we) had hoped for was actually the same as in BG2, only with more story and interesting characters and, of course, enormous freedom of choice. What we didn't think, however, was that Larian Studios had overdone it in every phase of what was humanly possible, to the point that it leaves you speechless after the first 10 hours. Wow, even the Early Access phase doesn't even come close to doing the finished product justice. I can't find the words to describe how deeply grateful I am personally to be able to consume something like this. In times of spectacular disasters and the worst games ever released, BG3 stands out so much from the crowd that you can't ignore it. YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Metacritic, every platform agrees. BG3 The Best F… Game of The Year. And I for one am glad that there are people out there like Naughty Dog, From Software and Larian Studios who still dare to do something and produce games for gamers and not primarily for the shareholders. And what have we learned from games like BG3? Well, that you just need a leader in steel armor who runs around the studio the whole time and motivates his employees to do the same. Please Larian, don't lose your fire like Blizzard or Activision. Because then you'll quickly end up in the top 10 worst games on Steam and who wants that? I'm happy to be able to consume content like this and I'm excited to see what else Larian will conjure up. Fill me with magic and take me with you wherever it may lead. Love lots of love and a 12/10 for the best adventure in my gaming history. 180 hours for one RUN btw.
Hey thanks for posting this video. I wanted to see some console gameplay without any spoilers so thanks for adding a lil in there. Looks really awesome.
Best game of the last ten years without question. Amazingly well made and unparalleled in its perfection
Comment!!
I got into this game because my Uncle recommended Baldur’s Gate 3. I started as a male Half Elven Ranger who romance Shadowheart because I’m into dark haired woman, even though she dyed her hair white after she spared the Nightsong. But I’m also attracted to women with white hair as well as red heads and blondes. I usually bring Karlach and Gale into my team because Cloud of Daggers is the best spell of the game. If I’m in the mood to replay this game again, I could either play as either a female Tiefling Paladin who romances Astarion, a male Half Orc Fighter who romances Karlach or a female Drow Sorcerer who romances Gale.
I wish they made tactical shooters like this. Gritty, dark and realistic, but with the same passion and perfectionism as this game.
I'm so in awe by how well this game is made, yet so put of by the style of it. I just can't take it serious when a different race is simply a human with red, green, purple or whatever skin color and of course horns. It reminds me of low-budged 90s TV series and feels more like a weird musical or play. The simple sight of dices in a game makes me through up in my mouth. Then again, i always hated boardgames, yet i understand the appeal it has to many people.
I just wish they made the kind of games i enjoy with the same quality. Truely a game changer!
6:00 Piranha Bytes games do this, namely the Risen series.
Romance is over rated. I think its mostly unescessary.
This game looks great.That said,I’m not a fan of turn based combat.I want to try it out.On Xbox.Any thoughts?
im in act 3 and Jesus the game is huge definitely missed some stuff early game didn't realise you couldn't go back looking forward to being a pure evil bard next time.
im still waiting for the full review
because i trust your reviews
Well.. it not only took GOTY in multiple awards, but went on a rampage at both the "golden joystick awards" and "game awards"
700 hours later, still loving it. What an unbelievably good game
Did you guys ever get around to putting out a full review? I’m not seeing one when I search for it. Thanks!
Hopefully there will be an option to turn nudity off
Nailed it 100%. BG3 is revolutionary in the gaming industry.
"No romance? That's not realistic at all." You've obviously never seen my life.
is the final review exists ?
Can I live up to DOS:2? I’m nervous it can’t 😬😅
Honestly the only bugs i have encountered is maybe the ai takes a min to process its turn and an audio bug where the sound cuts out. The audio was fixed a day after it was found and enemies are a bit faster. Love this company best 80 bucks i spent.
Looking forward to the full review. Especially since you are taking the time to cover ps5 which is what I will be playing on.
Look forward to watching many of your videos along the way. Always super helpful. Keep up the great work.
So I am still playing Elden Ring LOL… I don't even know what to play next! Sooo many great games out right now… And I also haven't played any of the old From Software games!!! 😄😄😄
Is there a full review?
Is the final review coming?
Not sure how no one is talking about this but the pathfinding in this game is attrocious. Like how many times will I have to climb on a table just to grab a cup off of it?
when is the full review dropping?
The best improvement to me is that Larian managed to implement a proper reward system for non combat solutions. But overall, DOS2 is still better in most aspects imho.
My biggest flaws of BG3 are forced dating sim, that destroys the immersion completely for me and the locations, while big and nice, but way less things to do and less diverse.
The reason BG3 won't be Game of the Year is because developers/publishers are going to lobby the industry media to vote against it. They don't want this game to succeed. It would mean more work for them.
Not a fan of romance and relationships in games anymore. It was fine when the first Mass Effect and Dragon's Age did it but now it just seems very gratuitous and developers trying to shock people as much as they can. It should clearly be an available option but one that you have to dig for and not just happen upon.
Coomer's gate 3
Finally started playing Baldur’s Gate 3, it plays ostensibly identical to Divinity: Original Sin 2… but with a far worse combat system! I look forward to modders implementing DOS2 combat mechanics into this game.
