Baldur's Gate Why do YOU hate Baldur's Gate 3?

[holla_cabezas_de_mierda]

One thing I don't like is that camera 3rd person herp-derping that makes the 3D environment materials look even worse. There is no replacement for beautiful isometric 2D art after all.

Spoiler

Maybe we have a chance with IWD3?

crazy. Thats regular 20 year old IWD and it looks better than the new shit.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Skyrim UI is a fucking masterpiece when compared with the BG3 retarded MMORPG UI style.

 

[aweigh]

looks like a D:OS mod + awful Larian writing + awful Larian aesthetic = zero hype.

still, the combat itself will probably be good so that alone at least means it will be at least worth a play. More than can be said of many other games.

Why do YOU hate Baldur's Gate 3?

You need a "to get brofists" option.

 

[Ontopoly]

I've changed my mind. I think it's a great thing that there are two hate threads. If anyone deserves two hate threads it's Larian.

 

[Cat Dude]

I have no idea how Larian managed to get more retarded writing in every single, subsequent game they release. Divine Divinity was silly, it wasn't really meant to be taken seriously and there were some moments where the game actually achieved atmosphere. The quarantined, coronavirus town that you could go into, for example. I can't play Original Sin because I just cringe at the dialogue too much, I have another try scheduled asking a mate of mine which of the newer games resembles Divine Divinity mostly, with his answer being OS2. Another thing is the absolutely garbage art direction that is especially apparent in OS 1 and 2. I mean, Divine Divinity was gorgeous, there were some things that were cliche but nothing was downright retarded.
Again, how do you go from this:

to THIS

I might be a boomer who thinks that the old isometric games look better anyway, but the artstyle is absolutely inferior in the later games and I have no idea who looked at these orcs and said: "yeah, that looks good"; especially considering that they had perfectly viable designs from Divine Divinity that could have been updated to suit the newer games. I predict that the cringefest of artstyle and dialogue retardation will be a prime feature of Baldur's Gate 3 as well. With the horrendous writing being the main reason I can't get into these games personally.

I can't blame them for choosing cartoonish look in DOS1 and 2.

We must set aside our differences and work with our fellow nations, all united towards one goal: The complete and utter annihilation of the godless Belgians.

 

[jaydee2k]

Because it will not reach POE's level of excellence!

 

[Zer0wing]

Even though I don't even like BG1&2... Personally, I just want Black Isles BG3: Black Hound back.
DIV:OS should stay DIV:OS and not try wearing emperors clothing.

 

[Nas92]

What the fuck is up with that dialogue. Why would they even do something like that?

There's also the fact that this game appears to have no reason to be called Baldur's Gate, other than to generate hype and maybe justify putting in shitty unfunny references to the BG series.

 

[Elex]

Because I haven't seen an editor/DM mode yet. Baldurwinter Sin 3, please.

Dos2 have it so only wotc can stop them.

It's sad that we will never see a better looking RPG. RPGs looks and style already peaked and nothing will ever reach those heights again.

EDIT: okay, it appears that I finally found out what I hate about BG3.

 

[Miner 2049er]

Can someone update me, what, other than the title, does BG3 share with its predecessors ? I presume: Nothing. So why the wet panties like your high school crush is calling you to make her a baby ?

People are highly impressed at companies that throw millions at marketing.

I have the suspicion that regular players were brainwashed in bad art. If you game doesn't look like DOTA or Fortnite, it doesn't sell. It's that simple. I think they realized this with D:OS and decided to continue making bad art on purpose. Larian is not clueless. Every single design decision he makes is self-conscious.

Because we are getting an high-budget D&D game with turn based combat. To me, that's enough to get excited.

Threads with polls are better.

Not when the poll votes aren't public. It's practically pointless.

Yeah, I realized that too late. IMO public votes should be the default option.

 

[Dwarvophile]

We all hate Baldur's Gate 3, however some of us have valid reasons to do so.

Most valid one I see : brain damage.

Yeah, this. Divine Divinity is one of my favorite "2nd tier" games of all time. Not quite great enough to breach to the first tier, but excellent otherwise. It had a lot of humor (some hit-or-miss), but overall, it was a fairly serious RPG. How they went from that to this shit they are churning out now is a mystery. Cartoony graphics with cartoony colors with some of the most cringe-worthy writing in the history of the genre.

I personally feel like this will be far worse than Fallout 3. At least with Bethesda we knew up front it was going to be shallow popamole. This, with its turn-based pretensions and Larian's newly acquired rep as the savior of "old-school" RPGs will set everything back 200 years. There will be young idiots for decades thinking this is what 90s DnD RPGs were like.

 

[PEACH]

More likely scenario is that they won't think about 90s D&D RPGs at all.

 

[Roguey]

I hate it, because it's just a game.

What else would it be?

 

[Chippy]

The title is all wrong, it should have been - Baldurs Gate: Tentacle Invasion!.

Once I saw that (and that there was no big tiddy drow girfriend as a party member) I haven't really given it too much attention.

 

[Cat Dude]

They didn't even change the cursor. It seems to resemble more DOS2 with Baldurs Gate mod at this point than a sequel to the Baldurs Gate franchise.

Once you factor in the portraits IWD takes the crown as the best looking RPG ever made.
