博德之门3

So, let me start by saying I actually like DOS 1 and 2, good games that were entertaining. I would recommend BG3 on that alone. The game has good graphics, the world is interesting and I'm piqued for the story to continue. Speaking cinematics are interesting as well. The world is HUGE, at 40 hours I'm still exploring and finding out new areas and secrets. It has felt engaging as a game for certain. On the downside, combat is slow as molasses. My goodness, was I bored waiting for 30 minute battles. For some reason, these battles were ok in DOS 1 & 2 but in Baldur's Gate 3 they feel sooooo drawn out. I wish RTWP was an option, not looking to get rid of turn based, but still, sooo boring. I guess that's just not Larian's forte. It also doesn't feel Baldur's Gate, too many Larianisms in the game, as an overabundance of clickable containers, too many ground effects/barrels to be thrown, etc. The graphics remind me too much of DOS, which is too cartoony for a D&D game. Somehow, I feel like I fail way more skill checks than I should and it just feel like a bastardized version of 5E. Also, most companions feel like a-holes, even after getting to know them. I could use some less snarkiness. Still, Gale is awesome! Anyways, I would still recommend this game based on Larian's record and future potential. I would not recommned playing EA just yet, not enough there. That being said, I hope Larian listens to feedback and does some major changes to this game, it definitely needs them. Oh, and yes, EA, loads of bugs/glitches/incomplete content. Just FYI if you do choose to purchase it. TLDR: Game has great potential, loads of content, beautiful cinematics, engaging world. It also has bastardized D&D play, extremely long boring battles, companions that seem to mostly hate your character, does not "feel" like BG, more like DOS. Wait to purchase is my recommendation, it's not like EA is saving you money.

Goog game. If you like DOS2 you probably will like this too. It is kinda fresh aplication of 5e rules to DOS2 but in Baldur's Gate setup. If you are not a huge fun of BG or DOS then you should wait till full release.

I was reading reviews wrote on the very first day of the prerelease. I cannot agree with these reviews. It was much like a technical demo then a story lined game. But after each patch I saw a magical improvement of the game. More options, better mechanics, deeper story. So every time I had started the BG3 from the start (with each patch practically), I experienced a better and better game that can be loved more and more with every hours I spend with. So after playing BG1, BG2 many times, spending hundreds of hours in DOS2, I can say that the BG3 became the best RPG game up to date. It is so complex, so deep, so funny, so balanced, so enjoyable, that it is a must have for everyone who likes the cRPG genre.

I hate to say it, but Lady Luck kills the game for me. And the sheer amount of needed luck you need makes it worse. 2 examples, spoilerfree: you find a body and want to investigate. Investgation means one roll. Asking another charakter for their opinion, 2nd roll. You found out? Nothing. Pure waste of time. 2nd example: you find a chest. Opening needs 1 roll to get a special information. It is open now and you could get the loot? No. Right after clicking "grab", another roll is necessary to get the loot. If you feel great in ruining your keyboard by, literally, pressing thousands of times save+load (well, load maybe 10x the amount of save), this is your game. Fluent gameplay you will not find, not even for 50 steps. My worst buy in 24 months.

I'm an older gamer who plays many different genres, but RPGs are my favorite sort of game. While the larger, establish companies like Bethesda tend to pull high marks on the basis of past glories and industry clout, Larian Studions, a smaller company has managed to pull off a wonderful gem that actually is deserving of the high praise it has received. It is astoundingly smart, immersive and deep. There is a mind boggling amount of exploring to do here, with the most believable, deeply written and wonderfully real feeling NPCs I've encountered in any game of any genre. It is a Dungeons & Dragons based game, and it carries the general flavor of it's pen and paper relative extremely well. It incorporates dice rolls that don't bog down the action. The Narrator acts as a capable DM, often describing bits of lore in an interesting, beautifully written way. There's none of the dull, cliched nonsense I encountered in Starfield, which frankly feels like a tired, boring outdated codger in comparison. One of the most remarkable things about BG 3 is the way that the in-game above camera melds with the thousands of intimate cutscenes so effortlessly. Looking back over a long playing session, I never feel like I've played from an above, more distant place. Somehow the game designers have cast some gaming magic into the mix so that it's all one experience. All the actors are voiced....even the animals. Everyone seems to have something to say, and a point of view of their own. It's really quite amazing. Combat is deeply tactical. Charging stupidly into a fray generally ends up in death. Flanking, using height and cover are rewarded. There are seemingly endless possible ways to succeed in every encounter. This game was a labor of love by Larian, and it's a real work of art. All it's parts add up to something greater than it's individual bits. Hells, it could be the best computer rpg of all time. As perfect as a complex computer game can get.
