how did a difficulty CRPG like Baldur's Gate 3 go mainstream AND get such a high user rating?

>>715912054 (OP)
It's not difficult
people are attracted to bioware style cutscenes and party relationship mechanics

>>715912260
the cutscenes are fairly unimpressive.
the cinematography is plain
the camera shots are nothing but static shit

>>715912054 (OP)
even the higher difficulties are more tedious than hard

>>715912260
It simply does bioware better than bioware.
It's also the true successor of DAO.

Difficult?

>>715912054 (OP)
The game has a story mode difficulty for the normies. The people who played the game in honor mode are a small minority.

>>715912054 (OP)
1. Its giga streamlined retard-proof 5th edition of DND, which is literally made for normies who dont play RPGs and other drooling subhuman apes with peanut brains, like Critical Role audience
2. Shadowheart
3. Sex

>>715912460
compare it to dialogue windows with minimal VA and shot reverse shot is impressive

>>715912054 (OP)
Turns out game mechanics are generally second to great storytelling.

>>715912054 (OP)
The bear helped

>>715912614
He just never realized you could just place a bunch of explosive barrels to take out all the bosses.

Astroturfing
None of the people giving it high reviews have even played the game

>>715912702
This. I haven’t played it yet and I’m mostly only interested in playing it so I can romance shadowheart.

everyone got sucked into the act 1 vortex and has yet to escape it

>a difficulty CRPG
>difficulty CRPG
ignoring the spelling error you are still retarded. BG3 is pathetically easy and my wife who is shit at games breezed through it with me in the second highest difficulty

>>715912054 (OP)
The romances and degeneracy, that's how. Plus doubt most people played on even normal difficulty.

>>715912054 (OP)
It’s babbies first crpg + also genuinely good

>>715912838
Or you can just use the skills and spells you get as you level up?

Isn't DOS2 much harder?

>>715913536
Act 2 is bretty good too. Act 3 has problems but it also has some kino moments.

>>715912054 (OP)
Good game
Extremely high production values
Very frontloaded
Elaborate animations and VA work and dialogue and routes and paths for storyfags

>>715913460
This is so true, here's the proof:

Believe it.

Dungeons and dragons's lovers

It’s a Nintendo CRPG. The Mario Odyssey, BOTW/TOTK of CRPGs.

>>715913821
Except it's good.

>>715913609
Not really. More mechanically complex yes. DOS2 gets to the point almost every class can one shot even the superboss in the highest difficulty

>>715913609
Yes and no. It really depends on how much you abuse the game rules.

>>715912460
still wondering why it still costing 60€ and it doesn't have fallen to 30, at least, already.

Only act 1 is good, and that's what most people played before they dropped the game

>>715915006
why would it? It is still selling well. Anyone who is cheap can just pirate it
