How the fuck can Baldur's Gate 3 still sell like hotcakes???
>>
>>738658517
Its a really good game, a favorite on 4chan.
>>
Go woke
Get millions of sales and a consistent playerbase
>>
Just make a good, solid, game.
>>
>>738658517
How many of those are actual players and not bots?
>>
>>738659830
why bots should buy BG3 so much to keep it on the main sold games list?
>>
>>738659978
You now understand why key selling sites are cracked down on. Once you know the thruput on how a game can be activated on steam (sold) without actual currency being spent you'll understand how you can inflate numbers covertly. BG3 was a promo bundle on graphics cards for a while, if you know how those systems work you'll get why BG3 put up numbers.
>>
>>738658517
correct platform

strategy, crafting, simulation, and horror games sell like hot cakes on PC
>>
>>738660078
if that were remotely true then there wouldn't be anymore sales from the GoG version being sold, in reality people buy it for the multiplayer

It was pretty weak but that was because DnD is always weak nowadays. DD is Larian's only good game and that was because they were trying to copy Diablo, when they get back to copying good stuff they might regain what made them famous.

They understand the all or nothing of game design and made content that only 2% of players would experience but the option being there would be what would draw the masses in.

>>738659830
Why would they be botting sales over 3 years later? More so for how well it sold in that first year.

Ahh yes sven has paid millions of dollars to run server farms for ~3 years straight all in an effort to somehow sell more copies of his game that apparently only sells because it has a big number on steam charts and he's the only developer on earth to have figured out this amazing scam.

You people are so fucking retarted, go look at how many people on your friendslist own it, its probably 90% of mine.

It was needed for the attempted hostile takeover that failed. It happens with a lot of tencent backed games. It is similar in function to when Disney was buying up all the seats in movie theatres so they could say they had packed theaters but then you go and you are the only one in there. All the seats are marked as sold though.

That's a very good point because if this was so easy Sony's latest failures like Marathon would be doing gangbusters right now. Instead it proves that this isn't bot farming shit because you think they take the extra cash to hide the shame since they can spend Billions, while Sven is struggling with just 600 employees.

Botting would be so much harder than people think and have enormous reputational risk to the point where I don't think anyone can or would do it.
Also one leaker and it would all be out in the open, and yet we've never had one.

I think there might be an indie or two out there that bots their 1000 review copy steam keys to boost the algo but I don't think AA or AAA can even do it.

BG3 is one of the wokest games ever made and retards always scramble to try to call it not woke because its really good, its so funny to me. It is absolutely "woke" it embodies everything you faggots always complain about in other games.

>every character is pansexual and will hit on and attempt romance with the player regardless of gender
>body type A and B in character creator rather than gender. You can mix and match genitals and your character's gender and voice in any way you please, there is no defined male or female character in game.
>extremely popular with gay people and women, most of the users on the Early Access forum were women who loved reading romantasy novels and treated Baldur's Gate 3 as a video game version of one.
>over half of the romance options in the game are non-monogamous and will either sleep around or approve of the player sleeping around.

It is the worst nightmare of those loser old 4chan users who became redditors after being exiled to /r/KotakuInAction yet the game is so fun that even they usually give it a pass on all fronts, because if they admit its woke it will destroy their narrative.

You still will be since the game is gay as fuck and you have to be part of it at all times. Telling the gay you aren't gay still results in you being around a gay and talking to trannies and shit. You can be a normal guy going to a gay pride parade but you are still at the gay pride parade.

Your theory is that because of the bundle, the seller was given an infinite number of steam keys and some kind of underhanded exchange happened wherein the graphics card company (who is now involved) gave sven back the infinite keys to run his bot server farms to inflate the player numbers.

And he did this because this somehow generates more sales than taking that same money and spending it on advertising? (With zero risk)

Have i got that right?

Because RPG audience is simply not the size of sports, FPS or gacha player base. That's what lead to "RPGs are dead" era. That audience never actually went away, they were simply overshadowed by other audiences. Your Skyrim and BG3 prove people are still out there.
>>
>>738663246
RPGs are dead because every genre has RPG elements now, not because RPGs aren't enjoyed. That guy playing FIFA is playing with RPG elements in his sports game now. He doesn't know it is RPG elements, he thinks the sports game just added more stats for sports management.

Bayonetta is popular with gay people. This is not an argument for wokeness.
I have no problem with your other arguments, and I agree the game is woke. But aside from Gale "accidentally" trying to sodomize the player at every opportunity, I think the wokeness is restrained/non-obvious enough to not turn off the average normie.

This is blatantly false and you'd know this if you actually played the game. One of the most common complaints about Gale is he's extremely flirty and hits on the player and will attempt to initiate romance if you're even slightly nice to him and most players will have to go out of their way to reject his advances at some point in their playthrough.

Astarion was literally a gay prostitute and he also flirts with female NPCs regardless of if the player is a woman or not so he's infallibly bisexual.

Shadowheart has dialog about wanting Karlach to pick her up with her "big, strong arms".

When you encounter the demon twins (male and female) in Act 3 multiple companions have comments about it. Astarion, Shadowheart, and Halsin all say it sounds like a fun time so they're all confirmed bisexual regardless of the player in this scene.

"Playersexual" has been used for a long time in the RPG sphere to reference characters who will fuck the protagonist regardless of sex. The characters are not literally bisexual or "pansexual" or whatever the fuck (again, unless otherwise established).
Outside of whatever can be gleaned from backstory, they have no sexuality at all, they exist to be romanceable by the player.
It's always been stupid. I would rather they be explicitly gay than exist solely as romance fodder, because at least then they'd be written to have a damn preference and some manner of agency.

Because unironically it's one of the best 'friendslop' games available.

It's "one sided" because leftists already got what they wanted by shitting everything up with their garbage ideology.

I genuinely think that left wingers are much more concerned with data centers, ICE, and other such issues and if there is any decline or lying low with wokeness I don't even really see it. If anything being a chud seems to be losing a lot of it's culture cache thanks to the whole epstein connection.

They're certainly unhinged about ICE, but the amount of leftists pushing culture war shit hasn't diminished here, so they're obviously still very focused on it.

really cool argument strategy you have of spewing absolute unrelated verbal diarrhea to distract from the points at hand, accusing your opponents of doing exactly what you're doing, and then when they get exhausted with you smugly going "heh, I won!"

You'd probably do really well as a propaganda director somewhere.

>distract from the points at hand
Yeah, the very salient point of "I'm going to simply say you had no argument so I can ignore it completely".
Why do you shitheads never understand that giving bad faith gets you bad faith in return? I get that you're only here to spread disinformation, but you could at least not act like a whiny fucking child when the discussion becomes exactly as shit as you tried to make it. You got what you wanted, so shut the fuck up.

>>738679327
No, pansexual is right. Bisexual suggests that you are attracted to both cis men and women. Pansexual suggests that you are attracted to all genders, regardless of base sex. This includes made up genders and shit. You need a fucking degree to understand this shit, I swear to god.

>idk what is about bg3 but i just can't stop playing it.
Its just a game with good gameplay, when you have good gameplay, you will enjoy running the game again.
I love many story games but i never find myself replaying them, i do replay games like Hitman, Souls, Deus Ex, Dishonored, Street Fighter, DMC and BG3, simply creating another character & making different choices and solving quests in another way is one path to replayability add to that the fun gameplay and encounter design and its hard to get bored.
If a game keeps respawning the same monsters for you to fight, then replaying it becomes a chore, this happened to me with Elden Ring, despite its huge amount of weapons and spells, on my 2nd playthrough i started getting tired of it, but with BG3 i played it 4 times, especially with honor mode since you can't save and load, so things will happen differently each time and since the encounters are mostly unique, you will replay the encounter only on a 2nd run.
>>
>>738678562
For me act 2 is my favorite, but i can see someone preferring act 1 over it. act 3 has the best fights and the city feels good to experiment with, its still a great act but i'd say its slightly behind 1 and 2 simply because the sense of adventure is bigger in those.

in 3 you are locked to the city, but it does have some good exploration for example when you figure out how to reach the house of hope or when you learn about the wyrmway crypt under the city, it does have some of the best side quests as well like the iron throne.

but act 1 reactivity and sense of adventure is top tier, the interconnect level design, and going through the underdark and the gith colony are hard to beat.

and act 2 is just dense with content, smaller map than 1 and 3 but holy shit everywhere you walk there is something, maybe i just love the art style of the shadowlands, i feel the fights in act 2 are amazing, myrkul, yurgir, the whole gauntlet trials, the meme fights with thorm children, the puzzles, its fantastic, even if you play evil, the fight on the inn is genuinely fantastic.

I can't find a single 100+ hours rpg with this amount of fresh content, its crazy to me, and people claim they cut out some content later because it was getting too big, holy shit i can't imagine how much ideas they had. really excited for divinity from them. i really have an urge now to do another replay of divinity original sin 2, it was a great game as well.

>>738680585
If in act 3 you could still do something with all that xp, I think act 3 would be rated a lot higher than it is. The content is good, a lot of it just feels meaningless to complete.
>>
>>738680716
i wouldn't look at it this way, its true that you max out your level before the end but here's my reasoning why its not bad.
1-gaining levels isn't the purpose of playing.
this is not a grindfest diablo game, you are playing content, things like quests and encounter to solve are more of a reason to push through than just leveling up for better stats.
2-its actually good to max out your levels and still have content to test out your build on its full potential, many games lets you max only during the final 2 fights or so.
3-the rewards you get still make a big difference, while leveling is probably the biggest power up in the game,sometimes a crucial top tier item as a reward is just as good, think of house of hope and the loot you can get, like that amulet, or the loot you get from exploring the mage tower with the best staff in the game, things like this makes pushing through worth it even without getting more xp.

i think the claim that act 3 isn't as good as 1 or 2 because you max your level earlier isn't convincing, espeically when you realize that you actually reach the cap too early only if you did every single thing in the game before, if you dont complete everything you reach the cap about 30% into the lower city which is like 50% into act 3 as of total.

to be fair, the best argument against act 3 is that 1 and 2 are just better, but its not bad by any means, sure i got some stutters and bugs and some story issues may raise up, but thats all there is to it imo. the content there is still great. better than most if i dare say so.
>>
>>738681094
I don't necessarily mean more levels. You could also do something like 100k xp for 1 inspiration once capped.
The point is more that it feels bad when you do something, the game says "here's your reward" and you get nothing.

>>
>>738681227
can you be more specific? i think you get nice rewards from most of the important encounters, say you go to sarevock underground, you get rewarded in 2 ways, either you kill him and get good loot, or you join him and get access to a merchant that sells one of the best if not the best medium armor in the game, there's a lot of worthwhile rewards imo. unless you are referring to something else, do you mean if feels like a wasted xp? i'd say imagine you are allowed to collect all the extra xp and level up, would break the game to the point where fighting isn't enjoyable anymore, way worse trade off imo.
>>
>>738681386
Not my problem, I never played the game. Only a faggot would play this game.
>>
>>738681557
The important encounters, yes. But not all the small stuff there is to find in the city. Sometimes the reward for a small side quest really is just xp, or xp and some piece of loot that doesn't give you anything anymore either.
Also again, I don't mean level up further, I mean use the excess XP as a resource for other small buffs, like inspiration, or being able to trade it for things like a short rest potion.

normie gaming should be divided into tiers.

tier 1 is phone games
tier 2 is fifa and call of duty and multiplayer games like overwatch and lol
tier 3 is cinematic games; uncharted, the last of us, rdr2 and god of war.
tier 4 is open world games; the witcher, skyrim, elden ring, assassin's creed, the legend of zelda..etc
tier 5 is mainstream goty material games; bloodborne, baldurs gate 3, mgs, persona, silent hill, resident evil, hades, clair obscure, final fantasy, hollow knight
tier 6 starts into more niche territory things like devil may cry, yakuza, shadow of the colossus, hitman, castlevania, less known crpgs like pillars.
tier 7 is like hidden gems; outer wilds, postal 2, dragons dogma, returnal
tier 8 and tier 9 you are into really obscure shit, things that only people who play a lot of games can know about.

nobody in my town knows these games, nobody even heard about them. but sure you can add more tiers, i was just demonstrating a point, its relative popularity! compared to games like god of war or rdr2, outer wilds is indeed a hidden gem. people are quick to call a game normie if it gets some goty awards and the gaming community praises and knows about it, but the the gaming community is one circle and outside it are many circles.

i think people who dont leave their house and dont talk to others think that any game with any praise on the internet is immediately normie tier game, thats bullshit.

I'm a long time CRPG fan, unfortunately BG3 is so monumentally unlike CRPGs due to the, comparatively, obscenely high production values in every last nut and bolt of the game from encounter design to environmental design to voice acting and animations, that CRPGs as a genre are now split as Pre-BG3 and Post-BG3.
A player new to the genre playing BG3 is like playing Persona 5 and then going back to try and play Nocturne on the ps2, even good CRPGs of the past in comparison are straight up fucking unplayable and have comically low production value. Baldur's Gate 3 is, strictly speaking in game and mechanic terms, the best CRPG ever made by an order of magnitude. It'll be interesting to see how the genre continues.

Was Persona 5 that big of a leap from 4? I always found Atlus incredibly stylish with their art style and menus but actual ingame production doesn't strike me as impressive.

BG3 production values can easily be replicated by US and Asian companies, they are far richer, what you actually need is talent and dedictation, its a wild guess from me but i think a lot of developers now working in the industry simply don't have the patience or the drive to make a game similar to BG3 in scope, at least WRPG devs, which is why some of them complained about it after release. I can do without the production values, if the gameplay and the world are well-made, i don't think CRPGs look that bad honestly, Pillars of Eternity 2 looks great, its just the gameplay design that tends to fucks them up.

It warms my heart to know the fag is still mindbroken by BG3 and larian
>>
>>738684414
P4 to P5 is a substantial leap in dungeons (4 still has the smt style giant featureless empty hallway mazes) but the mechanical gameplay is still similar. I'd say Golden and P5 are still within range of each other gameplay wise, it's only when you start reaching vanilla P4 and older that the bad gameplay design starts REALLY getting bad, just remembering having to enter/exit/enter the velvet room for demon fusion RNG makes me livid.
