InsaneCommander Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I think it's already a great "improvement" if BG3 doesn't have those D:OS 2 extra armor bars that prevent status effects at the beginning of the battle. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the first thing that got moded out lmao. Uh...I'm not convinced by the bear sex or edgelord origin but I'll probably play the game months after it releases and it's less buggy.

Humanoid Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I'm going to have to make a decision between BG3 or the new Solasta campaign since both will be co-op only affairs for me, and with only playing an average of three days a week for maybe 4-6 cumulative hours, it'll be a long delay for the game that loses out. So the contest is between the exciting new game with a higher ceiling, or the more predictable, known quantity.

Im going to wait 3-4 months before I play BG3, I never play games on release because I prefer to wait for the first official fixes and updates. That way I never get a bad first impression like many gamers did over Cyb2077 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Although my wife is super hyperd about BG3, so I'm pretty sure I know which one will win out. Just hope we'll have finished the second Solasta Campaign by then (we got into that game fairly late). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugarup Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I'm gonna wait for goatee GOTY Extended Edition going on at least 60% sale, so that's probably 3 or 5 years.

kanisatha Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I watched that video when it was posted in the Larian forum and it did not change my mind. It pretty much has the same things in it that are already well discussed in that forum. Right now, my biggest issue with BG3 is how poor the cast of companion characters is. They're heavily skewed towards the evil side (and relatedly, Larian seems to have intentionally created the game to favor and preferance the evil side over the good side), and are all in one way or another hipster edgelords with ridiculously super-powerful backstories. It is very obvious playing your own custom-created PC is the option Larian least cares about and which a player is not supposed to do, but where for me it is my ONLY option in playing a D&D RPG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) While I would summarize this review for the tl;dw crowd as "mixed bag", I do like what I see and hear here. The fact that the game is hard and unforgiving is a plus in my book, Jagged Alliance is supposed to be hard and unforgiving. I can see how a nigh overwhelming amount of systems can be daunting to newcomers, but I'm not a newcomer, I want maximum tactical control, even if that amount of control comes at the price of not being newbie friendly and cluttered UI. Releases tomorrow.

That order expires at the end of the day on Friday, though, after which Microsoft and Activision could quickly move to finalize things before a contractual deadline of July 18. To prevent that possibility pending appeal, the FTC would have to apply for a separate emergency stay extending the restraining order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkathi Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) The real breakthrough will be LootBoxCraft. The game where the Loot collected by players and put into their player crafted stash/box, will then be exported into other games to be sold as loot boxes.
