Baldur's Gate 3

Didn't like Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 (actually, I despised them). I went into this game expecting to dislike it, but it grabbed within an hour and now it's among my favorite games of all time. I have some issues with the game, of course, but I would have to go digging for them. The overall experience is a 5/5 (and I'm one of those annoying people who dislike giving full marks because "nOtHinG iS pErFeCt").

No cloud saves. Having a Larian account is worthless. Lost all progress after a HD failure. Doesn't matter how good the game is. Losing all progress shouldn't happen. Larian's failure.

The game is out on early release so that means they are using use to find critical bugs to imporve the game. The developer clearly doesn't want you to buy the game with full expections. If you want a flawless experience wait for full release. As far a the game itself. Awesome graphics and story driven with excitement. To think this is just Act 1. The one star reviews speak for themselves, a bunch of 2 year olds throwing a temper tantrum . People are giving one stars reviews because they want the game free. The game already contains content worthy of my $60 with the expection of more content when release. It's no different than a COD beta for their online content. No one ever complains when they pre-order COD just to have access to their beta (which is only online). But you can't please everyone. I hope the devs don't take their reviews personal and on behalf of mindkind I'd like to appologize.

Can´t wait for the full realese. A really good game!

First and foremost, everyone should give the Devs a break, after all, you simply can not make a true sequel to a game without the original writers continuing their vision while utilizing the same engine they used in the original games E.g. Baldur's Gate 1 (1998), Planscape Torment (1999), Icewind Dale (2000), Baldur's Gate 2. Original Team Development: Bioware/Black Isle Publisher: Interplay Entertainment Engine: Infinity Engine With all that silly technical stuff out of the way, I have to say from what I've played so far the game is an excellent representation so far of the tabletop experience. Yes, there are mechanics that remind me of Divinity Original Sin, and yes there are musical pieces thrown in as hooks from some of the other epic game soundtracks like Dragon Age: Origins. Do these additions and or blends of worlds make for a "BAD" Baldur's Gate experience? No, as a matter of fact, they breathe new life and difficulty to the combat making it seem like a much more dangerous world to be in. In all the original games there was an unfortunate walk in the park campaign - get 2 Fighters a mage, a thief, and a cleric ( you can change it up by dual classing or multi-classing main chat for thieving duty and add 1 more Magic-user) BOOM, everything and all battles are won the game has no challenge. Right in the paragraph above gives you the problem with making a DIRECT sequel in the Bauldus Gate series. 2 main issues here, the limitations of Infinity Engine and D&D Ruel-set 2nd Edition. SO we have come to a crossroads I'd say. 1. Bring in a few key members of the original studio for direction using the strengths of Larian studios in making excellent (C)Rpg's and have yet another railroad-semi open world or: 2. Blend the strengths of Larians ability and pullBaldur's gate into a truly new direction and way of playing bringing us all back to the feeling when we first opened that Baldur's Gate box loaded up the 1st disk of 5 and waiting an hour to excitedly play. Lastly, it's not done there will be many bug fixes graphical updates story additions so be patient leave helpful reviews add some positives with your rants. remember these are people too and working very hard to make YOU happy with a great gaming experience! I'm sure I missed things but it was a lot in my head. Heck, be glad you can afford the game I play it at a friends house every once in a while and will have to wait for many moons till its bargain bin :D and wait I shall !!!
