Lack of resources? Lies. Lack of passion? Yes. Profit over quality? Yes. The gaming industry is focused more on making money, than making the best product. Larian's accomplishment isn't an anomaly, it's what should be expected...
it is a wonky early access game that currently crashes every 10-15 minutes. What is expected from an early access. Is it worth the money? 60 Bucks for a game that crashes and were you have to play testers? No, not at its current state. Perhaps it will get better.
Anyway it is a shame that it is called Baldur's Gate because it has nothing to do with its predecessors apart from the name. The majority of the people reviewing here are just hiped by the name of the game despite it is wonky and buggy.
With almost 600+ hours this is an incredible game, so inmersive, and the best of all is BG3 respect the rules of D&D edition 5, you need to know that your choices can affect directly with the end that you get.
Every run feels so different so i don't get bored at all that's why I get so many hours played this amazing game.
As you can see in my user name I like Skyrim a lot. I've been playing Skyrim for thousands of hours and modded it to perfetion with currently 1169 mods installed. My Skyrim folders takes around 500 GB total space even after I deleted the archives.
Baldur's Gate 3 is better than my modded Skyrim by a mile, it's not even close. All the functions I added are in BG3 vanilla. The dice roll mechanics, characters that complement the group, the voice acting, the immersive exploration, absolutely everything is so crazy good I can't even believe this game is real.
The replay value is throught the roof, the size of the game insane and it's challenging in a way that's not just about upgrading your sword or spell, it actually requires thinking and tactics.
I'm totally speechless. Even after a measly 4 hours of play I'm totally convinced that this game will be the only fantasy RPG I will play in 2024.
It's a no brainer, just buy this game!
