As someone who’s tried so hard to get into the old Baldur’s Gates long after their glory days (and having a love/hate relationship with them), this game is exactly what I want to play.
@Solar_rpg Skyrim, Witcher 3, DoS2 PoE2 all released in same decade and there are plenty of others - those just come to mind from someone who rare gets to play games since about 2015
Coming from an unexpected hit for me personally in DOS2 back in 2017. That game ended up being my GOTY. I think many others are not prepared for how amazing BG3 is going to be.
Cant wait to play this. It really makes me wish i had more gamer friends. One of the cool things i would have liked to see is if you roll a nat 1 or a nat 20 you get hit with a critical failure or critical success. For me that'd be a nice touch anyway
173 Hours for a completionist run to 200. 17,000 possible endings. And if your playing a dedicated multiplayer campaign a single playthrough can take up to a whole year. an extensively long development period with properly communicated community feedback Dev panels. This game is going to have bugs at launch there's no way they got everyone. I am more excited for this than any other title this year And yes Buu I see you over there with your Porg friends.Magic Space Hampster? Yeah I'll buy that one.
Bit of a warning; do not to expect the game to have 17,000 major endings. Those numbers are inflated because it takes into account all the tiny permutations and variations you can get, which there are a lot of for a game this big and complex. In reality, the number of major endings you get will be much smaller, my guess being 10-15. Just putting that out there so people don't end up disappointed.
@@ivoryowl Thanks for pointing that out I honestly doubted it was actually going to be that much but still even if it gets close. Man, now my head hurts.
You should definitely buy it before it releases if u are interested in the game, you get free upgrade, i'v already played over 100 hours in early access, amazing game, can't even begin to imagine what the full game has in store for us.
Wow I appreciate all the advice. I’m definitely interested. All the games i play at the moment are shit tbh so this looks like a good getaway. Appreciate you all.
@@JMark514 Just FYI, saves don't transfer from early access and you have to download the whole game again next week (because of compression and added stuff, almost no files from EA are identical to the full release version). Feel free to buy it now if you want, but I'd wait for full release to actually download/play it, since it's so close now. PS: It'll probably be 100GB+
0:55 this is ridiculous that they put in game a difficulty class of 0. Why, so people like me with no luck at all will fail? I guess its a way to enforce me into playing a halfling! LOL though on the bright side being a halfling might just be the race of choice if you wanna steer the story you go thru as much as possible.
Its is not developed by BioWare. BioWare gave the rights to Larian which the studio is well known for it's love for Dungeons & Dragon where this dice system stems from as well as its classes and races. Just thought I'd remind old Baldur's Gate fans.
its a luck roll. Any time you do any action, theres a dice roll, that will decide if it succeeds or not. Armor class works the same way. If your armor class if of 14, the enemy must score 14 or higher to hit you. Same for you, same for everything.
Larian are working to get it Steam Deck verified but that probably wont happen on the day of PC release. But when it does should mean its optimised for PC handhelds and the type/UI wont be too small. There will be controller support same as Divinity Original Sin. I've played the early access on Steam Deck and it needs a bit of work to be a viable option (small text/UI, low fps and community controls remapping mouse/keyboard) but that's because its early access. I'm going to get it on PS5 as well for split screen co-op.
Calling it a CRPG is a bit like referring to an ATM as an "ATM machine"... I mean... is there a version of BG3 that doesn't require me to run it on computer? Is there a tabletop BG3 that is also being released alongside the computer-version that I don't know about(I'd buy it)? And I am going to put the semantics police in the corner straight away by reminding them that a console hasn't been anything short of a computer for several decades.
There are plenty of role playing game genres, and computer role playing game is just one sub-genre. That's like saying "It's redundant to call Rolling stones rock music, because there isn't any band called Rolling Stones that isn't rock". It's helpful to call BG3 a CRPG for those people who have no idea what BG3 is.
I don't really see how people can be super excited for Starfield. It doesn't look that much different from No Man's Sky which took ages to add anything interesting to. At launch, No Man's Sky was an empty sandbox with nothing to do but roam around. That was all. It's more than that now but I don't imagine Starfield being much different from No Man's Sky launch. Unlike Starfield, you actually get lots of information for Baldur's Gate 3 regarding gameplay and narrative. That was noticeably absent from all the Starfield trailers and Bethesda doesn't have as good a track record as Larian. Fallout 76 was a bust and, quite frankly, looked like dogshit. Baldur's Gate 3 will awesome. Starfield will be yet another bait and switch like Fallout 76 and Anthem. Both of those games were cringey.
let's be honest, it's going to be a buggy mess period just like all of Bethesdas other games. once again, modders are going to have to fix the game for them.

RPGs will never be the same again, after this game. Thank you, Larian. AND I get to play Starfield a month later, as well! Good times.
Summer 2023 is the real deal.

No. Bae'zel has spoken.
Coming from an unexpected hit for me personally in DOS2 back in 2017. That game ended up being my GOTY. I think many others are not prepared for how amazing BG3 is going to be.
@ 6:00 I won't decide between Baldurs Gate 3 and Starfield. I will play both.😀
Exactly what i wanted to say :D
That’s if Starfield works on release day.
Yep, totally planning to play both to death! The rest of my 2023 is basically booked solid with BG3 and Starfield! 😀
One we've seen in a working state and is playable. The other is as real as a nursery rhyme.
Facts only brokies decide
Cant wait to play this. It really makes me wish i had more gamer friends. One of the cool things i would have liked to see is if you roll a nat 1 or a nat 20 you get hit with a critical failure or critical success. For me that'd be a nice touch anyway
You do! Nat 1''s always fail and nat 20's always succeed regardless of whatever modifiers your roll or the difficulty of the check
first play-through: A violin playing human male bard who’s a folk hero & previously studied at the college of swords.

I'm incredibly excited for this game it has the potential to be one of the greatest rpgs of all time , I seriously can't wait
It's not baldurs gate 3. It's divinity original sin 3.
In Larian we trust
Does Baldur's Gate 3 have a texture pop in issue or is that just the machine you captured that footage on?
It doesn't on my machine.
If you have early access you can still play the full game when it releases right?
Yes. And if you buy it during EA you also get a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition on release.
You should definitely buy it before it releases if u are interested in the game, you get free upgrade, i'v already played over 100 hours in early access, amazing game, can't even begin to imagine what the full game has in store for us.

@@stephan4921 that’s fine but the other guys say it’ll get me deluxe for EA so I’m down to at least try the game and get a good grasp on the controls.
This seems very promising!

What does this “dice” system do?!
I’ve played BG1 & 2. I don’t remember that at all.
Its is not developed by BioWare.

My question is does it play fine with controller? I plan to play this on my RoG Ally. Too lazy to sit in front of monitor.
I'd assume it's been built with controller in mind, it has a PS5 version releasing in September.
@@RobbieG17 hopefully so, I work 10h a day in front of monitor. I wanna lay down on my bed playing.
it plays fine with controller or mouse and keyboard, and it has Local Splitscreen.
Larian are working to get it Steam Deck verified but that probably wont happen on the day of PC release. But when it does should mean its optimised for PC handhelds and the type/UI wont be too small. There will be controller support same as Divinity Original Sin.

Im disappointed that they haven't shown much gameplay with a controller so far.
NO TIME FOR THAT RPG:::
Calling it a CRPG is a bit like referring to an ATM as an "ATM machine"... I mean... is there a version of BG3 that doesn't require me to run it on computer?

Based comment.
cRPG is Classic RPG these days. Not Computer RPG as it was in the 80's.
You sound really stupid with that lengthy nonsense statement.
Yes, there is. The Forgotten Realms setting for tabletop D&D has been around for decades.
Consoles have been short of computers for years
There are plenty of role playing game genres, and computer role playing game is just one sub-genre. That's like saying "It's redundant to call Rolling stones rock music, because there isn't any band called Rolling Stones that isn't rock". It's helpful to call BG3 a CRPG for those people who have no idea what BG3 is.

Starfield gonna be a buggy mess at launch
let's be honest, it's going to be a buggy mess period just like all of Bethesdas other games. once again, modders are going to have to fix the game for them.
It’ll run pristine and most of you clowns don’t have the tech to even play it Lmfaoo @ brokies
