Baldur's Gate 3

There's about 100 other reviews that hit the nail on the head, so I'm just going to add my two cents and dip out. I'm waiting on my refund now, because this is legally false advertising. Larian advertised an EARLY ACCESS TITLE, meaning a FINISHED game that is ready for release, and well past the stages of beta testing. That is NOT what this title is. BG3 is riddled with bugs, glitches, astoundingly bad coding and optimization, and that's before we get to the fact that more than 70% of the advertised features ARE DISABLED DURING EARLY ACCESS. Holy shit, this even beat out Beamdog for "how to piss all over your audience". - Saves are bugged and crash when you try to load them. Auto save, manual save, doesn't matter, if you EVER turn your game off, you are starting over from character creation, because you will not be able to load that save. - The mouse pointer isn't even coded right, I regularly have to point about 2 centemeters (I FUCKING MEASURED IT) to the RIGHT of anything to interact with it, and that's before the issues with the buggy controls. - Pathing is utterly borked, I've clicked an area then watched my entire party run INTO fire, then turn around and run out, then back into it, while the pathing line shows them walking AROUND the fire. - Visual glitches abound. Characters sometimes have fully functioning faces that show great expression, or they talk and their head physically freezes in one space, separates from their necks, and then crashes the game on you. Fire is often about 3 steps off where it visually appears to be, bodies ragdoll then expand to block the screen, and loading anything, EVEN QUICK TRAVEL, causes a black screen and crashes the game. Don't even pre order this. This THING is spitting in the face of customers, and we should never be okay with it. You advertise a finished game, it better be FINISHED, not a LITERAL BETA TEST. Honestly, I'm not even sure I'm going to buy this game when the full release comes, I'm so tired of this shit.

It seems Larian hate Mac-Users. Thats why i cant play. They promise Mac-Compatibility but on Mac its still early Access...

Can I please play a game without homosexual sex scenes shoved in my face? Game is alright. I've played better.

I see absolutely no reason why anyone who isn't a Baldur's Gate/Divinity/ Larian fan would want to play this while in early access. I am a fan of all 3 and I don't want to play it as is. It's like getting to nibble on raw carrots instead of eating a huge feast. Best case scenario I'd have to play it all over again when it's polished, worst case I'd get angry, quit and have a bad memory taint the whole experience. But I do want to support them financially and show my interest and there's 0 chance they won't deliver a great product in the end, so I will buy it...

The game looks nice. I was really excited to play this after all of the other D&D games I have played in the past, NWN 1 and 2. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Planescape: Torment, etc. I could not get past the old style of point and click movement. Games on PC not having WASD movement is cumbersome and outdated. I found the movement mechanics so annoying, I couldn't enjoy the game. It makes more sense to move around the screen just by moving the mouse to the edges of the screen. I feel this was a huge mistake. (My personal opinion.) If Larian Studios manages to join the 21st century and add fluid movement like WASD, I'd repurchase it. For now, I've asked for game credit.
