2023 is honestly gonna end up as one of the greatest gaming years ever!!

First half of the year was absolutely stacked and the last 3-4 months of the year are even more crazyyyy.

As an owner of ps5, xsx and switch I'm looking at everything releasing and I have no bloody idea where I'm gonna find the time to play:

Bg3
Starfield
Spiderman
Forza
Pikmin
Mario RPG
Alan wake 2
Pay day 3
Cities 2
MK1
Cyberpunk dlc
Armoured core
The new fifa/ ea sports football
New cod

The above arent maybes for me, they are all games I will buy and somehow find time to play, bg3 will probs be the one I get to at a later date

I'm starting with Starfield too but I do hope people will give Baldurs Gate3 a chance, from what I've seen they have really expanded on everything and put a lot of time & effort into making it great. They moved their launch to avoid competition with Satrfield so there's a little gap to play it, plus you can always come back to it later. I'd like to see both games really do very well.

Christopher316d ago

Yeah... I don't think people will have trouble finding time to play BG3. Just as they won't have problem finding time to play Starfield. RPGs like these are very rarely only played in their first month but are returned to over and over again.

Flawlessmic316d ago

Yep same here, good to see people are are excited about what's coming!!

Downvotes are pretty baffling though lol apparently being excited for games In general is something you get downvoted for now on n4g 😅 god bless this place

MrNinosan316d ago

Yeah,
I'll do:
BG3
Starfield
Spider-Man 2
Avatar
Like A Dragon Gaiden
Atlas Fallen
Skylines 2
Helldivers 2

And whatever jrpg that comes out

Luc20316d ago

You're a full time gamer! I'm getting BG3 and Atlas Fallen day one and not sure I'll have time for both but will try

MrNinosan316d ago

@Luc20
I've got 2 jobs and 2 kids (every other week).
I never have time to play through all my games, and my backlog is growing bigger every day.
However I buy everything that I might find time to play, and then some games that I make time for.

Like now, it's FFXVI.
Must play games from my list above is only Starfield, Spider-Man 2 and Avatar.
Rest would be if Inhave time.
Luckoly I'll have 1 month with BG3 at least.

Charlieboy333316d ago

Keep an eye out for Granblue Fantasy Relink if it's a jrpg you're after...looks potentially good

MrNinosan316d ago

@Charlie
Thanks.
I play almost every single jrpg, even if they're not good and will of course play next Granblue game 🙌

You could say the same thing about Starfield. But I believe Baldur's Gate will be better than Starfield imo

get_real316d ago

rofl, keep dreaming ps fanboy

Sonic1881316d ago

I find it interesting and comical when people say playstation fanboy when anyone brings up Starfield when I've mention thousands of time that I'm a PC gamer first🤔 I'll be playing Baldur Gate next month on PC. BTW I played Zelda tears of the kingdom and I believe that game should win GOTY hmm would a playstation fanboy say that 🤔

yeahokwhatever315d ago

I've been playing BG3 on PC, its perfect, even though its still incomplete. Between BGF3 and Diablo, Starfield will have to wait until later when its inevitably fixed via mods.

Sonic1881315d ago

How did you get early access? They told me I have to wait until early August for the PC version

FGHFGHFGH302d ago

@Sonic1881

You can buy it on steam. It's been available to buy for a while.(it's an EA version,you get the full game when it releases)

rob-GP316d ago

That's why it's now coming out a month before Starfield - I'm sure there's plenty of time to play the main story before SF releases...

slayernz316d ago

Maybe if you didn't spend time writing pointless opinions pieces you'll have more time on your hands!!!

I’ll Never Beat Baldur's Gate 3 Honour Mode

I'll stick with Tactician for now.

Fascinating
If anyone is interested, I will never beat X-COM on the hardest difficulty
For a list of games I will never complete on a specific difficulty

Michiel198918d ago

I can't really remember if I tried xcom 1 on the hardest difficulty but I gave xcom 2 on the hardest difficulty and ironman plenty of shots and it just seemed impossible. I don't often give up, but that game beat me.

anast18d ago

No real examples on why honor mode was too difficult. What I mean by this is there was no mention of the builds and gear he/she was using or classes and races.

Nittdarko17d ago

I mean I understand, after 14 attempts (non cheese) me and 2 friends finally beat it, It's really not for your everyday party adventurers

Don't get me wrong, a casual player could easily google (BG3 cheese builds) and Moon druid or Tavern brawler their way to victory with some ease, but going in playing it blind or telling yourself not to break the game and play normally is never going to end well at all.

Funny as well because Divinity Original Sin 2's honor mode was a fraction of the difficulty of BG3.

Popsicle17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I won’t either. I am a dirty save scummer who definitely lacks honor on my dice rolls and checks. Not turning TAV into a squid just because I wanted a few parasites burrowed into his brain. Lol

Even Though Larian Is Done With Baldur's Gate 3, I Believe The Game Deserves DLC

Danish from eXputer: "DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 could resolve some unanswered questions and offer more sought-after content for what is otherwise one of the greatest RPGs in recent memory."

Leeroyw22d ago

They made their point on DLC. Respect that.

FACTUAL evidence22d ago

See this is what damn near killed gaming in the first place, DLC! I respect a good game that’s already heavily content driven. Whatever happened to having a good game, playing it from start to finish, and then enjoying it for what it was and waiting for a sequel with a whole new outlook? I hate the fact that there are people out there willing to get nickeled and dimed by developers then complain about how we get pelted with unnecessary dlc.

I feel more devs need to do what they are doing. Tbh, I couldn’t care less if dlc was gone completely. I could go as far as saying dlc ruins game preservation as well. Not going to go too deep into that but basically Baldur’s Gate devs gets my thumb of approval.
