>>750148678money laundering
>>750148678How many posts until the Russian meltdown?
Don't careNever played it, never will.
that 1.2b is even more impressive because Larian is 75% private owned so unlike other devs the vast majority of that money gets reinvested into the company without passing through the grubby mitts of ""them""
>>750148678I bought it on GOG. Was i the only one?
>>750148678If you wanna add woke shit to your game this is you how you do it. I didn't even encounter it in my playthrough.Literally all games with forced woke bullshit have bombed.
>>750148678Still less than Tears of the Kingdom
>>750148854He's already having a meltdown in his own thread. Sex with Mol btw
>>750149127as long as you have fun that's all that matters
>>750148678I almost pity them, their next game will have so much pressure and expectations it be very easy for it to get some hate. Too much popularity is a double edged sword
>>750148678Can you even imagine that simply making a GOOD GAME could make you money?
>>750148678the only game wokefaggots can claim as their own is a game that allows me to eliminate every single lgbtq/feminist/POC characters from the game? i think they need to ponder over what that means
>>750148713what the fuck is Astro Bot?
>>750148678Alinea is known to spread blatantly false sales info to whoever pays them, anyone taking anything they say as fact is legally retarded.
>>750148713Lae'zel if for dominating and then handholding and then cuddling.
>>750149263well, they can invest stupid levels of money and time into making their next game because Larian is still indie (if fuckhuge for an indie) there's no investors or publishers to interfere, if anyone is in the position to live up to the hype it's them
>>750149346that's kinda gay
>>750148678Doesn't count until a verified x post from larian
>>750149148that's how you handle wokeslop
>>750149543he said the thing!
>>750149543Apparently Swen Vincke said back in 2025 that it sold 20 million on Bloomberg
>>750149441He obviously means you dominate Lae'zel. She likes it.t.Lae'zel enjoyer
>>750149557thisnever had a faggy experience in b3 because i killed the faggy npcs instantly
schizo too busy in his other thread to sperg out in here
>>750149804bae'zel is hot when she dominates you though..
>>750149969Felt wrong with my muscle human war cleric. Maybe if i do a halfling/gnome playtrough i will try the get dominated path.
>>750148678>add co-op to your turn based RPG game without it fucking with the singleplayer experience almost at all>also fix up some of the flaws of moves taking a fucking eon with friends with shared same time moves>5 bazillion salesgood for them, I just wish the success wouldn't hinder them by just endlessly making similar games though, I really liked their weird phase where they were just doing absurdly strange genre mashes like dragon commander.
>>750150145Do you want it notarized?
>>750150145We already discussed this years ago. People were able to calculate that the game sold like 13+million copies(most likely 15 million) in the first 6 months. >how did you calculate itFrom Larians tax filings on their profits. People calculated their profit minus the 90 million $ that gave to WoTC in royalties for using the Baldur's Gate 3 IP(fuck WoTC b t w, Larian did all the work and WoTC still milked 90 million for doing nothing).
>>750150482yeah unfortunately dos2 is what made them into what they are today so they are unlikely to take any risks any time soon
>>750150862seething
>>750150862>fake numbersThose were government filings and paid taxes you fucking imbecile.
>>750150862It was calculated off their reported tax revenue. And then the tencentschizo decided that meant they were committing tax fraud.
Why does nobody care about consoles now?
>>750151385Consoles used to be about ease of use/access + low entry point. PC hardware for the high end may be fucked, but compared to console prices PC is still a great value proposition at the moment and has been for 10-20 years. Consoles are getting more expensive and anti-consumer while platforms like Steam have largely not changed or only changed to benefit the consumer.
>>750151385A game like thi just doesn't FEEL right on a console.
>>750148678Looking forward to them returning to Divinity but they're gonna have to re-introduce the world a lot because the vast majority of players of their next game will know fuckall about Divinity. Hope they go lovecraftian or satanic as the trailer suggested.
>>750150862malding + pulsating + dilating
>>750151771>Looking forward to them returning to DivinityI'm not, I really wanted to see their sci-fi game...
>>750148891Thanks for caring enough to stop by to tell us how much you don't care.
>>750151385Pretty much any retard now knows how to build a PC so consoles no longer have a purpose
>>750148678Based. I can't wait for the new Divinity. I want to see Larian unleashed.
>>750148678Why don't black folks (console players) like bg3?
>>750151385literally everything is on pc nowadays. the only people still buying consoles are retarded ball and gun niggers that would break down crying trying to install steam
>>750151385I would never want to play a crpg on console
In my 3 playthroughs of this game I've never actually took the chance to become a mindflayer, how is it to play when you get to that point?Heard mindflayer Necromancer is OP as fuck.
>>750153248Its only really worthwhile as an int caster because it fixes your stats to specialize for that.
>>750153248it lets you fly and cast a dome where you can use bonus actions as actions but it's not that great
>>750153248it's mehfreeing orpheus and killing the squid cunt always felt like the objectively correct ending to me
>>750149263oh I'm expecting something BIG for their next game alright, they better not drop the ball like they did with BG3.
>>750153963wasn't really their fault the bg3 lizards ended up like that, that's exactly how bland and shit they are in dnd
>>750150654>for doing nothingthey earned more, since they kicked off the team helping Larian after they were done "helping" them. someone should steal the D&D IP from these retards already.
>>750148678PC game
>>750149148>If you wanna add woke shit to your game this is you how you do it.This is also the reason why gaming companies will keep adding more wokeshit to their games, as long as you given them an inch, they will take a mile. BG3 only got away with this because it wasn't a dumpsterfire and everyone loved it.
>>750149168Actually, it's above totkLike half a million above
>>750148678I hope Divinity will release only on the PC. No console version please!! Swen if you can hear me, dont waste your time on the console.
>>750154097reminder that they are still shopping around bg4 and nobody wants to work with them lel
>>750154192>almost five million sales on consolesWorth it
Completed Act 2, seems like there was less to do overall than Act 1 which had a lot to actually explore... does act 3 get better?
>>750154072I also dislike how BG3 has no lizardmen and yuan-ti when those two infests D&D games like vermin.
>>750154384No. Act 1 is the one they worked on the most.
>>750154384Baldur's gate is basically a sandbox, it's filled with shit to do, overwhelmengly so.
>>750152821I like it, I even have over 1000+ hours in it
>>750154384Act 2 is like Interlude section. Act 3 is bigger than A1-2 combined.
>>750154384act 3 is a mixed bag, it's sidequest overload and very bigthe city a huge step up from Arx in dos2 to the point where it's almost overwhelming and the quality is very up and down depending on what quest you are doing. The emperor storyline sucks complete ass
>>750148678>99% of players are fags and women.>playing it like sims with porn.>BS3 is a doll house for women over 30
>>750154441>>750154464>>750154493>>750154629Anything specifically I should do with Lae'Zel to complete the romance? I ignored her for most of act 1 but really warmed up to her in act 2.
>>750154384all larian games are frontloaded
>>750148678Woke won. You lost.
>>750149018No it doesn't, the money goes to the IP holder Hasbro. Ha ha Corporate America wins again! You'll never be free from us.
>>750154860i've never done hers but i always thought you had to start it in act 1, an anon can correct me if I'm wrongI always say no and then she gives some dialogue like "A shame you will never know then" and then she never brings it up again
>>750154215yeah man, I'm sure Larian miraculously made like $450 million off the back of DOS2 in 2023 despite posting a loss the year before.
>>750148678>most successful game of modern times>never seen a clip of its combat gameplayWhy is that?
>>750156696Your eyes don't work? I dunno man I'm not your optometrist.
Go woke get rich.
>>750157026Why is Bioware dead?
>>750148678>release game with about 30% of content promised>it's done lolzOMG GOTYenjoy your scamI pirated it and l;iked it after I used AI to to unfuck it
>>750157096political interference
>>750148678How many copies did Dragon Age Veilguard sell?
>>750148678nobody ever posts about the game itself... always about sales or some bullshit
>>750157096you still have to make a good game
>>750148678>>750152539i don't play woke games
>>750157096didn't make nwn 3
>>750157590>>750156696here's some screens of my new tav!if you're interested you should so totally play it with mods
>>750149441rolling for 3 or 5
>>750149557I put a knife through his skull but a shot to the head works too
>>750148678wish it was on the nintendo switch 2 (two)
>>750157849gay as fuck
>>750148678>PC game generates 1.2Bproves you don't need to lower everything to the lowest common denominator (consoles)
>>750158283what's gay about cute girls?
>>750156696It's got the worst kind of dogshit turn based combat ever devised by man because it's designed to waste your time.>y-you just hate t-turn based combatI liked both nuX-COMs and recently finished JA3, fuck off.
>>750148678That gross revenue estimate is low. Other aggregators have it somewhere between $1-8-$2.1 billion on Steam alone.
>>750149239>heHol' up.
>>750148713Frogwife
>go woke go er.. make a billion dollars?
>>750158851Most other aggregators just multiply review count by 60 and call that the total sales
>>750151205Pretty much. He's desperately clinging to this "only official report from Larian counts (but not from the CEO because he'll just lie unlike Larian in their report because uhhh shut up chud)" gotcha but even if Larian did that he'd just claim they broke the law to embarrass him specifically.
>>750159017Not really. They have explanations of how their numbers are calculated on their sites. But ultimately, they are all just estimates.And FYI, Alinea, the one cited in the OP, is notoriously one of the most unreliable of these.
>>750148678>pc players don't buy gamesMan Rockstar must be kicking themselves for not releasing on PC and now their game will get dumped and emulated for free
>>750148678how do you think bioware feels looking at these numbers after they all got fired for being a bunch of faggots.
>>750157849>>750158513Drow whores belong in my bed chambers exclusively.
>>750159296GTA6 is expected Q1 2027 on PC, so not too far off.
>>750159360im not a whore..
>>750148678Note that this is not counting GOG, so the total is likely over 25 million copies.
>>750156696Because you close your eyes and go "la la la can't see it" every time they get posted so people just don't bother anymore?
>>750148678Insane that the retards at Hasbro threw away a 1 billion dollar IP because they wanted Larian to put in microtransactions and small 10 minute quests to sell for 5 dollars a pop. Shame because Larian might have been open to doing an actual expansion rather than "bite size" content.
>>750159769I 100% believe Larian went into it with the intention of popping out expansions. But Hasbro are indeed some of the greediest motherfuckers on the planet.
He won.
>>750157026>>750158991Being woke is fundamentally incompatible with letting the player just ignore it if they so please because wokeness is specifically preaching about leftist identity politics that are prioritized over everything else. BG3 is inclusive, not woke, because it gives you options to do whatever but doesn't force any of them on you. Veilguard is woke because it sits you down for a tranny struggle session that you have no choice but to validate.
BG3 has so many indicators of organic success that you have to be insane to deny it's popularity, look at mod downloads, some mods reach 10 million downloads, that's an insane number by mod standarts, look at random youtubes creating content for it, videos of simple playthroughs have 100k views easily some of the big ones have more than 1 million views.
>>750159964This is fair.
>>750149441fucking gross
>>750159998Yeah it's pretty wild. One of the gaming news sites (I think TheGamer) said BG3 is still engagement bait for them, and any story with it in the title is guaranteed clicks. Which is why you'll see fluff pieces like ''BG3 director tweets about new indie RPG'.
>>750148678That's cool I guess. BG3 is a great game but I'm a bit bitter towards it since it gets all the attention but I think DOS2 is better.
>>750148678Love to see it. Can't wait for this bad boy to drop and ruin my life.
Gabe got $200M for just hosting some files?
>>750159998not to mention the sheer level of legs it has, people keep playing it, recommending it to friends and then they end up buying
>>750149127nah, i did too. gog first, then steam if not available.
>>750159769>>750159909which is silly because the older D&D games tended to have adventure path style expansions, or just straight up continuations of the story
>>750160460>do nothing, etc.
>>750159769>threw away a 1 billion dollar IPHah no, they're probably getting some korean study to shit out BG4 still convinced they can cash in on Larian's work with 1/20th the effort
>>750159998It's got the kind of player retention most live service games would kill for.
>>750161057no wonder Hasbro tried to push microtransactions on Larian, they saw this and had their pupils change to dollar signs at the idea of "WHAT IF EVERY ONE OF THEM BOUGHT 5 DOLLAR OF COSMETICS A MONTH"meanwhile Larian actually understanding the concept of not pissing off your audience just standing there in absolute disgust
>>750161701then why is every other woke game failing hard and forcing the closure of woke leftist liberal devs
>>750161350Christ and that would've worked.>Buy the new Faerun Catalogue for $3 a month!>Check out all the new and cool clothes you can put yourself in!>Buy the annual subscription and you'll get the pet selection for free!Oh god it could've worked.
>>750161701>>750161995

>>750161995obsidian died and you're gloating?
Where is the shitposter?
>>750162257he's busy having his meltdown in the other thread
>>750148678they'll finally do a 50% off sale now to celebrate, right? haha...
>>750162696
>>750159769>>750159909Hasbro decided that axing their video game division right after BG3 launched to focus on movies was a great idea
>>750162792Do they even hold the rights to do whatever they want with BG3?
>>750162832the d&d movie was good thoughbeit
>>750160362I see a problem. Sadly with all the faggotry of *AI* cloning i am not sure how Larian will do early access like they did with DOSII and BG3.>inb4 some jeets come crying how good is *AI*Fuck *AI*, it is going to ruin the good thing developers like Larian can do with early access.
>>750163528Can it even actually copy it?
>>750148678It does not matterTLOU2 sold well despite being the utter dogshit from CuckmanSales mean nothing nowadays and BG3 is just another one terrible game on the list
>>750163528you can't AI clone a high budget game like that, only simple art styles work
>>750163528none of the decomps you've seen are stablethey're all grifters baiting with 30 secs vidsif they're stable they're just emulator wrappersthis board is shilled to fuck by those aijeets
>>750163806Hey you. You're finally awake. Finally crossed the thread border.
BG3:>actually features male and female options>can still make your character a tranny if you want>there's one drag queen NPC in the game and it's part of a fucking circus actDragon Age:>this character is definitively non-binary>mandatory lecture on what a non-binary freak is>literal misgendering scene just to introduce another lectureBut there's no difference at all am I right, it totally wasn't the woke that killed Bioware.
>>750163806>TW3>millennial story trying too hard
>>750163887Theres a BG3 artbook?Or is this a joke about AI?
>>750148678Most of there are femalesNo sane male(non troon) would play this woke garbage
>>750163961I'm more amused by the Disco Elysium example. Who's that supposed to be?
>>750156696Because it is bad and they know it.It is flawed by design.
>>750163978>Theres a BG3 artbookhere you go friendhttps://us.merch.larian.com/products/artwork-from-baldur-s-gate-3
>>750164082Thank you
>>750163837>>750163887I hope that you're right. I really liked the BG3 early access and the threads we got on /vrpg/ for it.
>>750164056https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/nacYK6Qq_61WxdbqOdtzaw/you lost tranny
>>750163927Both are fucking trash though
>>750163483And right after its middling success they decided to axe their film and tv projects to work on games.
>>750163989Anyone using xitter is honestly dumber than a womyn.
>>750163927BG3>Astarion annoys me>I can literally kill him off and not have to deal with him for the rest of the game>game literally gives me the option to completely ignore an aspect or character that takes away my enjoymentDAV:>Taash annoys me>game forces me to sit through multiple scenes of Taash annoying me>game makes me do the entirety of the Taash quest and storyline to strengthen our bond>this is mandatory to advance the story
>>750149148This.Gale came on to me once (before they patched it out) and I said "No way, fag".He apologized, backed off and ever since I only had Shadowheart and Lae'zel fighting over me going forward.
Yesterday I learned that woke people exists who absolutely hate BG3 and get pissed when people like it.I thought it was only the opposite. But I saw this woke flake crash out over people saying BG3 was good on the new Castlevania's steam discussions.I know why the few anti-woke hate it, but why would a wokey hate it? I don't get culture warriors. Was it the Swen AI thing?
>>750163978>Theres a BG3 artbook?Yes. Everyone that bought the early access got the Digital Deluxe version of the game for free and the artbook is included. At least on GOG.
>>750164262Wow, I sure hope other RPGs don't make you act like a retard and force a character on you so they can betray you later on.>>750164354That's possible and there's also a very loud section that's extremely anti sex and probably hate it for that.
>>750148678humanity is doomed
>>750163978There is
>>750148678Timmy don't look...
>>750164146I don't think Larian will axe itthe early-access for DOS1 is what literally saved their companyLarian thrives off of community feedback and showcases and they just make solid games so unlike most AAA devs they genuinely benefit from people getting a good look at the gameplay early rather than bullshots and cinematics
>>750164961One of the few companies who actually use Early Access effectively. The early BG3 mechanics were a bit rough, and they maybe over-houseruled some spells (specifically cantrips) a bit too much intially with DOS2-level surfaces
This anon asks good question and nobody is able to give any good answer
Modders won. Trannies lost
>>750164616those were way cooler than the ones we got..
>>750149346>2021Wtf was /v/ thinking
>>750165263Yeah, most ideas were cooler including the main plot about corruption and power temptation
>>750165327how does it make you feel having such a woke game be a goty and so successful?
>>750165113they're not copying elden ring combat, theyr'e copying Dark Souls combat (which elden ring also uses), first one released in 2011.BG3 copycats won't happen for a long time, chasing trends and coming out like 7 years after the trend is passed is the common "we fucked up" move for dumb devs
>>750165225>uneconomical noseTchk
>>750165113Games take time to make anon, even bad ones. Rollslop wasn't copied from ER, it had been getting copied off of From's other games that were also very successful and popular, long before ER came out.BG3 came out in late 2023 and took like 6 years to make, with a dedicated team that knew what they wanted to do and were already capable.So even if other studios tried to copy it at the same quality and scale and started a month after BG3 dropped, we're looking at a minimum of 3 more years until we see it. 1-2 if they really rush it and shit out a bad product. But realistically it'll be a few more years after that.
>>750154384Act 3 is basically Act 3.5Act 4 was cut and you can tell from a few quest lines that just end abruptly or important locations are in weird places. I think when Act 4 died they mashed what parts of it were finished into Act 3.
>>750166063It's already a 150 gb gameIf anything, they probably should've cut more area/content in earlier acts to make a distinct Act 4
>>750148678>go woke go bro-ACK
>>750149148this seems like a whole lot of cope for you to justify for youself liking an icky woke game>I-I didn't even see the woke parts! I swear!!
>>750166292I think I get what he means.There's woke shit, but it's not pushing anything. It's like that one girl at that conference asking them "all thigns are political, so what are you trying to tell with your game" on BG3, and they said "have fun". It's simply there, not preaching.
>>750148678And 85% of them have never ever reached act2, lmao
>>750166757That doesn't make sense, something like 20-something % fully completed the game. How could even less have gotten to Act 2? Using mods?

Why did larian made her uglier?
>>750168626I blame woke leftists who hate beauty
>>750148713>>750148678Stop shilling your shitty website. Nobody has the sales numbers for any game except the developer/publisher. All these sales estimate websites pull their numbers out of ass because there's no data to accurately estimate from. That said, BG3 did sell at least 20 million. The founder of Larian said that in an interview last year.
>>750167727mogged
>>750148678I hope divinity is the complete opposite of their past games. No more reddit humor, no more faggotry. Just played straight dark fantasy with gore, sex and strong characters. One can dream.
>>750165225I don't really see the point of choosing to play githyanki and then adding a mod to make them more humanlike. Might as well just play an elf.
>>750159156doesn't make sense because net revenue from tax filings is the most objective fact you can have. see sony and counting gift bundles as sales, if we had the actual revenue of the game we would know how many actual sales it got better.if larian did an official report he'd just move the goalpost.
>>750171045it's not for playing as lae'zel. it's for having sex with her without needing a paper bag over her head
>>750171045She still acts and curses like a Githyanki. Making her look more attractive is inconsequential
>"hey this game isn't as woke as I people told me, just a few nigger girlbosses here and there but pretty standard of modern gayming">reaches grymforge>4 gnomes digging a cave in>1 female gnome asks you to go search for "her love", a female gnome who has TNT, 1 gnome wants desperately to dig out another male gnome>fast forward after the gnomes are safe>"ohh look at that, a heartwarming reunion between a gnome a his father who was trapped in">instantly read the dialogues from the two gnomes npcs: "I am ok, you don't have to be so worried" the other gnome replies "OF COURSE I WAS WORRIED! I AM YOUR HUSBAND!">close game and uninstall
>>750162078I doubt it would, maybe short term, but would destroy the goodwill Larian has with its giant audience, long term it would be suicide.
>>750165263this always happens with concept art, it's probably because it's hard to translate the 2D concept to a 3D model and also a bit of, we think it's better because it looks more novel than what we have become used to

>>750162832probably because they kept making crap and losing money

>>750176747I aint logging into nexus. Does it work with mol? Very important.
>>750176834>>750176890
>>750148678Woke won. /v/ suffered an embarrassing defeat.
>>750176747It's nice that this exists, but is pretty jank in my experience. Really have to use photo mode to get the most out of it (minus the animations, naturally).
>>750176919The guy that made this was a chomo btw
>>750165113CRPGs are copying DoS1 and 2 though? It's why Owlcat added turn based modes to both Pathfinder games and made Rogue Trader fully turnbased. Also Solasta.
>>750166292Youre a unironic whiney fag. There was obviously woke shit in the game but it was so easy to punish the character for it. Instead of the player>gale comes on to you >kick him out of the party>lae'zael does her stupid girl boss shit>literally kill her and wear her armor and sword>the druid guy tries to invite himself to a 3some with my girlfriend>kill himNone of these even effect your play through negatively in game. You can do whatever you fucking want. You're just finding shit to cry over when there are so many worse things going on in media right now than fucking bg3.
>>750148678Total Larian Victory
>>750177430In a good RPG, you don't want to kick out your entire core roster of companions. In a good RPG, you don't feel the need to kill 90% of the NPCs. On the contrary, in an RPG, you actually want to get to know your companions' personalities better, learn the stories of the NPCs, complete their quests, and immerse yourself in the world.The argument that 'you can kill anyone' isn't really a selling point, because it means you'd end up killing over 80% of all the characters in the game. And what’s the point of playing an RPG without any NPCs anyway? You might as well just play Diablo or PoE.
>>750148678How's the Chinese bots theory doing, guys?
>>750177834The schizos are still here
>Baldur’s Gate 3, has sold 23.2M copies>50k daily players on steam>Official modding tools>Modding scene is fucking garbageCursed game.
>>750177834still unable to answer why the chinamen aren't also botting Wukong to high heaven
>>750178027It's just too complex for the average modder to really bother with. There's that big Act 2 expansion thing, though.
>>750177681>if you kill three guys you kill them all
>>750178224That is literally how it works in game
>>750178115The game barely gets any decent armor or weapon mods, which is the bare minimum for a moddable RPG with character creation. It's just poses and maps for posing.
>>750165225Hey guys we found him!It’s the fucking retard who thought it was a good idea to make the Qunari in Dragon Age Veilguard look like handsome squidward instead of their superior 2/Inquisition design.
>>750148678How the fuck did a CRPG manage it?
>>750148678That's pretty impressive tbqh. I never imagined normies would ever play such games
/v/ definitively ownedChuds definitively ownedWoke doesn’t matter, Chuds do not matter. Making good games is all that matter. Kys culture cucks
>>750178932but that would require that people actually play games, anon
>>750178932Still it's hilarious watching chuds making up dumbass reasons why it's okay for the game to be woke and why they liked it
>>750176962The game has top-tier waifus and full frontal nudity. /v/ won, actually
>>750148678i unironically want a shadowrun game by larian.
>>750178831I was surprised that so many normies bought BG3. It was almost miraculous to see a niche genre game sell so well
>>750148678Except the game is also on gog, so that must be wrong somewhere.
>>750178806You're a fucking idiot. No modder would create such an abomination
>>750149127Same here, I don't support DRMs.
>>750149438Waited 60 seconds for the captcha just to call you profoundly retarded

>>750184865>>750184952How do you say 'I accept your concession' in mandarin? Or 'the raped'?
>>750148678UM NOT TO BRAG BUT ACKSHULLY IF U WERE A SUPER SMART ALL-KNOWING GENIUS (LIKE ME) U WOULD INSTANTLY KNOW ITS ALL CHYNA BOTSOPEN U'RE EYES DUMB SHEEPLE
>>750178806Mentally ill tranny detected. You suicidal parasites need to be euthanized for the good of humanity
>>750184321>make it make senseIt makes sense but you are schizophrenic.
>>750184321Ah the eternal refrain of the shitposter, pleading for excuses, begging to move the goalposts>It must be botted!>I don’t understand!This is the life you chose. All the retarded predictions you made, all the threads you shit up. You have destroyed your own narrative, allowed your impulses to consume your shitposts.You are your own king, and this is the hell you have created for yourself.
>>750185869>>750186164>>750186236That's interesting, but I'm afraid AIDS laced flailing and shitting doesn't validate the incoherent lie you present. I bring facts, you bring tears.
>You hate the game because it is woke>I hate the game because only Shadowheart is the vaguely humanoid Female and good looking female companionFrog fags and demon butch lovers are fake chudsOnly acceptable races are Humans or elves.
>>750153963Quarian? Not so much. Thick skin.
>DOS2really good, probably the best CRPG of its time>BG3Good in spite of some woke bits creeping into the game, set a new standard for production values in a CRPG>Larian's next gameI really, REALLY did not like the trailer they showed for it. It was needlessly disgusting and degenerate, and makes me worry that they might double down on the bad parts of BG3, instead of getting the message that BG3 was good in spite of those things, not because of them.
>>750148678I will not be buyoughting it thoughbeitful
>>750188283Yes, child, you willNo, child, there is no beitful here, these are your criminal delusions speaking.Enjoy prison.
>>750148678Swen won. Divinity: Original Sin 2 also sold over 7 million before BG3's success, by the way. Larian's been hugely successful for a while.
>>750148678still funny how internet retards convinced themselves this is some redpilled and based game while its one of the most woke and dogshit written RPGs in the last 2 decades.
>>750188923It's already considered one of the greatest games of all time and a generational standout. Your feelings don't matter.
>>750188923Nobody convinced themselves of anything, /pol/cel troglodyte, people just saw a good videogame and liked it.
>>750148678Very nice. Guess we know what the future of RPGs looks like.
>>750148678I bet that it being moddable also helped.
>>750148678>won>your woke game is shit and kept alive by rabid gay porn addicts. Normies were tricked into buying by the viral marketingyeah, they won at being scum and lucky at it. Otherwise it belongs with veilguard
>>750157849You are a genuine faget.
>>750148678I knew most trannies were on PC lmao
>>750162937No. The wizards of the faggot coast are in charge. Sven the rat doesn't mind their unhinged faggotry though.
>>750188362kek
>>750148678Will the "BG3 flopped" guy jump off a bridge now?
>>750192460No he'll just keep saying the numbers are fake because Larian hasn't released a notarized third-party account of the exact number of copies sold.
>LINEA ANALYTICS>ANALYTICS
hehe
>>750192460No, and he already posted ITT 10 minutes after it was made.>>750149543>>750150145>>750150862>>750154215Looks like all of his posts got IP-wiped at the same time because he was performing his usual spam-spergout routine in multiple threads.>>750150031>>750156149
>>750196462Why does BG3 even make him this upset?
>>750196729He's a lonely performative attention whore looking for attention. Before that he used to spam webms of him invading low levels on a twinked out character in Elden Ring, but those stopped generating (You)s.
Larian is still going to suffer Bioware's fate. You can already see the similarities.
>>750197089No, I can't.
>>750149239Sazza was the only one I left alive (albeit knocked out). I healed her up and left a red apple in her inventory and went along my merry way. Dunno if they ever wake up
>>750149441Rolling
>>750149804I just left her naked in my camp. She doesn't do much, aside from that one time she tried to shank me.
>>750149127No, for some reason they are ignoring the other sales that were on other platforms such as GoG. This likely has something to do with how strange GoG has been in the last couple of years with publishers in both giving sales data and even letting them sell games on GoG.
So, what's the status on tencentschizo? He spent 3 years spamming every day about sales numbers, this must be his personal 9/11
>>750197189You will. I'll be here when it happens.
>>750197332He already started coping and saying none of it is real
>>750197359
>>750171243>having sex with a pixelwhy are all BG payers are faggots and cucks
>>750197332Bold of you to assume he wasn't just doing his job and has simply moved on to whatever his higher ups wanted too. Then again, I noticed a lot of shitposting about rpgs of all kinds drop here after the start of the Bioware closure, perhaps it was just some Bioware employee running crazy shit to try and keep a narrative that their success wasn't real. We know EA watched BG3 success very closely and it's why you had all those people from the Dragon Age teams dying on a hill to why BG3 was either a strange dark horse event or that it was fake and not really what gamers wanted.
>>750168297>Fag>Green whore>Magic Fag>Elf whore>Nigge fag>Red whore>Fag
>still seething in year 3 of Our Lord Saviour Swen Vincke
>>750148678More than 30% of those sales come from China
>>750197931>Guy championing in "safe woke" shit is basedAfraid not
>>750148678I wonder how people from Bioware must feel >the creators of Baldur's GateSeeing that IP make over 1 billion dollars while they get shut down.
/v/ will never recover from this blow
>>750148713She's a whore.
>>750198453>I wonder how people from Bioware must feelThe people that created Baldur's Gate are the people who sold BioWare to EA. The people that just got fired are the people who made Veilguard.
>>750197331I'm glad that GOG does not let all games on there. If they did they would turn into Steam *AI* slop factories.
>>750176747>>750176816>can't fuck gnomes or halflings>but if you are a halfling or gnome, you can fuck anyone except other gnomes and halflings??????
>>750179426Maybe those people aren't chudsand are just normal people who don't want to be lectured by a video game.There's a reason bg3 sold and not veilguard, and it wasn't the gameplay.There's a reason gta games sell despite all the diversity while the new saints row floundered, whilst being just as diverse.
I liked the game, but BG2 is still superior
>>750199902My guess is that they were afraid someone would fuck Mol
>>750199902Remember how WotC was involved and how Larian ended the relationship? Let me ask you something, why do you think they made all the deep gnomes gay for no reason(beside it being funny)? It was a fuck you to WotC. Larian has no problem with romances with dwarves and alike.
>>750198672Virgin Whore.
