My copy should come sooner than later. I’ll probably play it after FF7Rebirth platinum

repsahj97d ago

I didn't finish it, I'm at later stages of act 3. It's a great game but not the best IMHO.

anast97d ago

Which is the best IYHO?

jznrpg96d ago

No game is for everyone. I played the original games a lot back in the day along with the Icewindale’s ,Neverwinter Nights etc. so these types of games are up my alley. To each his own

anast97d ago

I was surprised how much voice acting actually matters in these games. It's tough to go back.

I never played a rpg before bought final fantasy double pack on psn remake and rebirth and I played remake for 7 hrs straight never done that on any game loving it I be same when rebirth downloads best games I played can't believe I never tried them before

VincentCastle97d ago

My absolute favorite genre and there are do many great bangers out there. Other great modern RPGs if you ever feel in need to check would be dragon quest 11, persona 3-4-5, baldurs gate 3, the Witcher 3.

And then there are those more on less story telling but just as amazing as Zelda botw/totk and the soulslike games like dark souls, Elden ring, sekiro.

anast97d ago

a game with 25x's the development time, according to Todd Howard.

anast97d ago

I know Larian hasn't thought about a DLC, but this is one of the few games that I actually want a DLC.

shinoff218396d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Naw just move on. Sounds like they put out a great product. I hope they let it be and move on. Please don't ruin that physical disc their bout tonbe releasing.

anast96d ago

Telling people to move on, we got the man/women in charge of the velvet rope... All my discs still work after DLCs have been released.

SixFrvgz97d ago

We still talking about this overrated game? When will you all stop pretending to like this game just to put up the facade of being a "real gamer"?

jznrpg96d ago

That makes no sense. Some people really like it some don’t. That’s everything -

SeTTriP96d ago

Over 100hrs I fail to see how it's overrated, care to elaborate?

Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.

Dirty_Lemons5d ago

Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.

This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.

Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Physical Deluxe Editions Delayed Due to Production Issues

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.

shinoff21837d ago

Got that email like 2 weeks ago. Tbh I'm not tripping. I understand sht happens. I'm just glad they changed their minds on the physical release

Popsicle7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I with you. I got the email is well. Happy to eventually own a physical copy and glad it’s not digital only.

Baldurs Gate 3 was great, but I dont think it is as crazy as people make it out to be. I actually think Starfield is closer to being a crazy insane once in a lifetime game, but Im ready for the flak Im about to get.

AndrewM7d ago

If you think that then you either A never played Bg3 or B never watched anyone else play it, or C you don't know anything about the game, or D you played it and have no idea of the marvel it is in every single aspect of game design. It doesn't matter what game you compare it to, it doesn't hold a candle. Let alone starfield.

Armaggedon6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

A. Ive played it thrice
B. Played with others, so there are moments of watching
C. Know more than I would care to about the game
D.
Thats quite bold, seeing as there are an inumerable amount of games for it to contend with. I also know plenty of people with their own gripes with the game.

As someone that creates things, and has actively sought to gather intel and understanding, I would say Baldurs Gates very nature makes it so it would have a hard time sitting upon the lofty throne you have given it. Similar to a Bethesda game, it is a game with a very large number of permutations and variables to consider, despite being smaller in scale by direct comparison.

Exemplary mastery of design philosophy is more certain to appear in a game that is for confined. One of the reasons I see Starfield the way I do is simply Bethesedas approach of breaking the rules. Anyone should hopefully know that you just dont try to fit a Bethesda game into a space game, but they found a way to pull it off. Do to the nature of large scale open world games, whether it is efficient or not depends on the angle one is looking at.

Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes

Armaggedon6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Part 2:
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes, it will seem disjointed and lazy; however, to those who realize what Bethesda were going for, you will see that the game is severely underestimated. The idea of God is hated and loved by many, and there is much controversy. Starfield is closer to that idea than people even notice.
