You wouldn't spend 200 hours on it if it's boring.

act 1 n 2 was still interesting as u were still discovering about the story n finding your characters.
come act 3. suddenly become like open sandbox. enemies u tot u were suppose to go kill suddenly gets an option to ally with them instead.
rasa so potong stim. struggling to gaf now.

i did that as well. act 2. while the game is good. few points to note.

1. its nothing new! we have seen this before Div Ori Series.

2. rooting from point 1. its a slow azz game! the battle take ages to complete

3. it won the awards just because of its "niche" feature (which if you go back to point 1, it is not really that). I think western crowd just feel that they need to make this kinda game alive, but hey lets face it, with how fast world is moving, this just gonna left behind and maybe forgotten like an olden forgotten game.

4. it slooooowwwwwwwww and buggy!!

The only gripe and its a minor one i have is actually combat is easy even on tactician. Thats because of 5 edition ruleset which BG3 was base on i guest and also coming from cibai Pathfinder which is like a statisticians wet dream

But they patched in Honor mode with higher difficulty so might fire up a second playthru next year...cos i havent cleared act 1 yet kek. Already close to 80 hours. Just fiddling here and there and being a murder hobo

ok will do that, but the game feels like a chore most of the time.

1 battle takes 20+ minutes? what is that??!

It is a turn based game, what do you expect the battle would be? you want fast then go play ARPG. This is not the game for you.

I feel called out, my fight with Gortash involved blowing up the factory and then blowing up Gortash while he monologues his plans. I also blew up the final boss with fireworks I stole from the fireworks shop

Oh man you havent tried Pathfinder

More complicated rules

Way harder enemies. First game in a long time i actually had to buka spreadsheet or wordpad to calculate the bonuses and keep track of shit

BG3 the trick i see is kill enemy fast, dont prolong. use your feats or extra attacks to bring down bosses or mini bosses.

20+ minutes is too long for most fights unless its those big battles like the groove raid

Shadowheart Spirit Guardian is macam overpowered leh. She causes damage just by being near an enemy. havent even attacked yet

Fighter with action surge and extra attack already gila fast to take ppl down

not saying that i don't expect it to be slow.

I've gone through that generation of FF series before 10 that were SLOW but love them so much!(FF9, i am looking at you).

my main gripe with BG3 slowness is that it won the GOTY?? albeit it's just a keeley award.

its nothing new! as mentioned in my initial post.

it is a great game! but compared to

1. TOTK
2. ALAN WAKE

i don't buy it.

its just a westerners agenda to give some air to a dead genre.

as a matter of fact, I tried Pathfinder before, and yes that is my point, it's not a ground-breaking formula that allows the best game award recognition.

best RPG maybe, best Performance maybe, but GOTY? pfft.

its just a too Slow game for me.

game awards show got agenda one. remember that stupid homo game LAST OF US PART 2? that game was universally hated but still won GOTY.

i like BG3 not because of this stupid game awards crap but because i like CRPGs & this is the first game of it's kind that let you have the freedom to do almost anything unlike some other walking simulators AAA games like alan woke.

I think in terms of reactivity as in the amount of ways you can try to approach an issue and how the game reacts its unbeaten. like OS2 but one notch higher

Pathfinder....man i didnt even complete it yet i started a second and third playthru just to test some builds

Its those games you like the system (if you like numbers la) more than the story hahaha

Yup but i think one level above OS2

I played OS2 a few times so i know what to expect but the amount of open endedness is one level above

And its quite polished

So deserved win la IMO

You mean revive right? It's not really an attempt considering it's not from a huge studio and they never thought their game could be so huge. All they wanted to do was make a fun game. No microtransaction bullcrap, just a fun game out of the box.

And it worked.

They know the D&D crowd is small and they went ahead and spent crazy amount of effort in doing it anyway.

What they did, or still doing, is amazing. And definitely need to be celebrated, so this games award thing is somewhat important. It shows that there are people that still appreciate a good old fashion game. Don't let those AAA studios get away with all their nonsense.

yeah, that's what I meant. pfft! typo.


but i agree on the justification.

its been a crazy year for gaming, (not so for devs).

though i disagree with the best multiplayer award that the game got.

anyway, ok to move on.

this year had it been not for the great games, its a really hard year for me personally.

i can agree with this. it deserves the win, but just because of the revival thing. rest of the game in the nominees stand a good chance to win it as well.
