people who hate turn based rpg's have an incessant need to announce it to the rest of the world and will even come into existing fandoms to demand the games stop being turn-based rpg's

>>744592204
they are so insecure

Dragon's Dogma 2 last time yeah, and that was after telling myself it would turn out meh.

Why are election tourists seething of this artist?
>>
>>744591783
rarely, because I usually fetch some gameplay footage from youtube and watch it for some 5-10 minutes or so to see if it looks appealing at all
some still turn out to not be what I expected when I play them myself though. forgot the name, but there was a game where you build spaceships and then investigate wreckage and it seemed fine from the clips, but when I played it myself the menu was just fucking ass to deal with so I refunded it

The artist of OP's pic is a man
And I'm afraid this will hit bump limit just as easily as the other one
>>
>>744591783
No, it usually takes me 10 years to buy a games so I have plenty of time to make sure it's a good purchase

I skipped class to buy GTAIV on launch solely because of G4 hyping it up. I hated it. Not only did I hate it, but I got in deep shit for skipping that specific class. I pledged to never buy into TV hype again.
A few years later, Total Biscuit absolutely fucking glazed Civilization: Beyond Earth. I bought it at full price on launch. It fucking sucked. I regretted it so bad. From that moment on, I pledged to never buy into any form of hype at all.

I haven't bought a single game recommended to me since. I only buy games I develop a grass roots feeling of wanting to play.

>buys things without the most basic research
serves you right
>>
>>744591837
Because people are retarded.
My brother bough The Last Spell because it seemed interesting to him but then discovered it was a turn based tactics game.

Kek, what an idiot. I still love him.

>>744593860
4chan has way too much of that nowadays.
any thread you enter, there's already some schizo camping and waiting to spool down his usual script
>>
>>744591783
always watch some gameplay (no commentary ofc) before buying

Nobody talks about BG3's gameplay because it sucks and if you look up gameplay footage it's usually just characters interacting. I wouldn't blame someone for thinking it was a dating sim or something.
>>
>>744592069
some people aren't poor, anon.
>>
>>744595179
Poor people tend to be the ones to make impulsive uninformed purchases, in reality. This isn't uncommon knowledge, you might be retarded.
>>
>>744591783
Slay the spire. It's the only game I've refunded on steam
>>
>>744592069
It won game of the year.
>thing popular, now me like thing
is all it takes.

Dark Souls 2, peak kusoge that only contrarians pretend to like
>>
>>744595469
>might
very generous of you
>>
>>744591783
My main problem with BG3 is the camera angle. DA:O already perfected it for CRPGs decades ago: why the fuck am I not able to control characters directly over-the-shoulder them seamlessly switch to top-down in the big 2020s?

Second problem were how unreactive other characters were in conversations/cutscenes. There's one early on where you can stamp a mindflayer to death, and your companions just look on, vacant and gormless. It's amateurish. No idea if they managed to improve it all later on as I've never got much further than that, but since I've heard it's at its best at the start, I can only imagine it gets worse.
>>
>>744592069
Stupiduty.

I paid full price for Civilization: Beyond Earth thinking it was the Alpha Centaria successor. I didn't zero fucking research other than watching the trailers.
>>
>>744595679
>peak kusoge that only contrarians pretend to like
That's Dragon's Dogma and you know it
>>
>>744591783
Atomic Heart. The puzzle shit was so annoying and felt so blatantly like filler, it ruined everything else for me.
>>
>>744592204
so, like atheists?
>>
>>744593860
these scenarios are very real
>>
>>744591783
ive seen the artists irl pics, theyre cute and they fuck guys. HMU, i know youre lurking :p
>>
>>744592069
Nobody ever talks about bg3 gameplay. If I wasn't informed about it I would think it was some kind of visual novel.
>>
>>744592069
You'd be surprised, when BG3 won goty half of the new streams of the game were named "let's see what this game is all about" or shit like that

I bought Starbound when that was shilled as Terraria 2 way back in the day.
Offensively bad, that game. Runs like shit and not a single gameplay system feels good.
Only fit to be a furry RP chatroom.
