Am I the only one that found this trailer really odd? Like, it gave me no idea of the gameplay, not really any kind of hint at the story, about 50% of it was people kissing.
This for sure. I have no idea what it is... A kissing sim maybe
I guess they know their audience.
Nudity? Sold. I don't even need to see the rest of the trailer.
Patrick Stewart?
I need the fediverse to have a "tip" option for when someone elicits a chuckle instead of an award from a corporate entity to pin on it.
I would have tipped this.
I watched the Panel From Hell and saw a bit of dong. 👍
Things ended up a bit hairier than expected...
They said that scene got them banned from TikTok. :D
I've been playing during the early access and it's pretty good. It was neat to see the progress they made with each patch. It's not like the other Baldur's Gate games though.
And it shouldn't be. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are amazing games that pioneered or popularized many things we've come to expect in modern RPGs, but they're also 20+ years old. If Bioware's Baldur's Gate was released today, it wouldn't be revolutionary. It would be an excellently made throwback to how RPGs used to be.
BG3 isn't made by the same studio, let alone the same people. Their admiration of what they're building upon is clear as a sunny day, though. So let this carry on the spirit of what was and be the foundation of something new.
If it’s nothing like them, that does make me wonder why it’s named as the third in the series instead of something different entirely like the game itself is.
Most likely? Nostalgia and familiarity. We'll probably never know if the decision to make it Baldur's Gate 3 was WotC/Hasbro's or Larian's.
There's precedent, though. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance had less of a connection to Bioware's BG than this one does.
Sure, Dark Alliance has almost nothing to do with the BG CRPGs other than the setting. But it also wasn’t named as a direct sequel to them, either.
And I get the corporate reasons for it. But I think those reasons are stupid if the game actually has nothing to do with the games it’s supposed to be a direct sequel to.
That was beautiful. It perfectly represents how I feel about newer Assassin's Creed games, to be honest. Excited for Mirage to return the series to its roots, though.
