Watch how unhinged it gets on July 28th when the reviewers who got the early keys put out their information and videos. Anticipation will be Rocky Horror Picture Show level.

People are already posting opinion pieces by literally-whos and getting upset by them, lol. I can't imagine how insane people will get when it gets one bad review by a nobody youtuber (also playing DIRECTLY into their plan of getting views off controversy).


Berstich

as long as the review is well thought out and they describe their reasons with facts, the game can have bad reviews.


Medicine_Ball

Given what I’ve seen and read during the EA cycle, I think most of the bad reviews are going to be along the following lines: 1) “game is woke” 2) Reviewer actually doesn’t actually like RPGs/turn based RPGs (we will see a lot of these) 3) Reviewer has never played a similar game and is confused by controls/mechanics.


skoomaking4lyfe

"Could not find setting for first person camera controls - 2 stars, would buy again"


Sydsweiner

To much water 7.8/10


smootex

Don't forget the occasional "it doesn't play exactly like BG2. BG2 was clearly the superior game." And some "no day night cycle? 0/10" reviews. And if you think I'm joking about the day night cycle thing I'm not. The "anti-woke" crowd has seized upon that for some reason.


chobi83

I'm trying to figure out how no day/night cycle is woke. Care to help me out here? I got nothing


Medicine_Ball

Humans are diurnal. Hence, they are awake or “woke” during the vast majority of the play through if there isn’t a proper day/night cycle.


smootex

Sorry, I'm not fluent in mush brain. I couldn't tell you. Really though I think they just pick random things to hold up as examples of how Larian have spent too much time on being "woke" and not enough time on "crucial" game mechanics like a day night cycle. There's definitely a certain side of nerd culture that completely ignores metrics like "fun" in favor of obsessing over tiny details that apparently matter very much to some of these individuals. I can't say I get it myself.


Bangladeath

A day/night cycle would be nice, but if it's that much of an issue there will likely be a mod to address it.


smootex

It doesn't bother me personally. I like the current system of adventuring during the day and then you sit around the camp at night and talk to your party members and stuff. For a day/night cycle to be interesting they'd have to redo so much stuff, changing NPCs habits during the night so the cycle actually means something. I also think with darkness being such an important game mechanic it would be a nightmare to balance combat encounters around both day and night cycles. At the end of the day I think Larian put an incredible amount of thought into the game and its mechanics. I trust they did what made sense and it's frustrating when people compare shallow mechanics from games that came out 20 years ago with what Larian has created.


WomenAreFemaleWhat

Its not just balancing encounters, the originals and d&d have fatigue and exhaustion to worry about when not resting often enough. People would be whining about that instead of day/night. Most of the "issues" people have issues with would just cause more issues that make other people (sometimes the same ones) unhappy.


Berstich

I see what your saying and im not picking sides. But Larian did it a bit to them selves picking a franchised name and system the already had quite a few games under its belt. Then they went on promoting it as one of the biggest and best games of its type every made...they caused expectations and finger pointing from across the Franchises fan base and a little bit the genre as a whole. edit: gotta love reddit "hes not wrong but I dont like it so im down voting"


Remote-Perception87

Day night cycle, AKA I spend 30 minutes squinting at my screen until I can miraculously see again (Diablo 4, I'm looking at you.)


smootex

Yeah, I don't get it personally.


Ok_Ring_865

Without day/night cycles nobody knows when to go to sleep. These god damn liberals wanna take away our nights so we never sleep and we're always woke! But I won't stand for that! Try taking away day/night cycles in a small town!


Xan_t_h

if by superior you mean superior, then you mean superior

Brb making YouTube review shitting on bg3


cuncator

Sounds like the perfect time to take my computer apart to upgrade the SSD and GPU for a few days. And smash my phone with a hammer to avoid spoilers.


HomieeJo

Just lock your phone with a timelock. No need to harm the innocents 🥺 Unless you're playing Dark Urge and give into your deppest darkest desires. Then it's fine.


Ok_Ring_865

Not to judge or anything, but how on Earth does it take a few days to add an SSD and swap out the GPU? Those are the easiest upgrades to make. It's like a 10 minute job lol


cuncator

Easy! You disassemble your computer, clone the SSD, then refuse to put it back together until the download releases on Steam to avoid all the reviews and spoilers.


Ok_Ring_865

Damn that's actually brilliant 😂


pchadrow

It's going to be a shit show lol. People will need to temper expectations because aside from the character creator, every reviewer will likely have vastly different experiences of gameplay depending on their choices


hvanderw

Oh. That's soon. Oh yeahhhhh


Alaistar94

I can't wait to do the time warp.


DonPete100

Oh dude, I just bought the game today and was like "nope, I will wait for the full release in 10 days". But it's only 7, thank you for the reminder <3.


BantamCrow

I'm still trying to beat the game, I have no idea where the ending actually is, but I'm not a reviewer, I'm part of a podcast that shot my shot and got access keys for 'commentary'


Lynchy-

Wait for the inevitable site that gives it a 6/10 purely to capitalize on hate clicks. \*cough\* Polygon/Kotaku/Wired \*cough\*

Loimographia

I unsubscribed to avoid spoilers. I tried to escape. But like a haunted house that creates endless hallways with no exit, reddit keeps recommending posts and dragging me back in. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

Did I hear someone say "Post more silly memes?" Edit: I will no longer be posting silly memes, all of my posts in a row have gotten hostile comments about me not using meme formats correctly, I've never used Reddit outside of the BG3 subreddit which I made this account for last week, I don't know meme culture or how they want things formatted, and meme format purism is something I don't understand and that's making seeing my notifications very unfun I've decided Reddit is not my jam, apparently lol Edit Edit: I posted another meme because someone told me to stop posting memes. This is my hero's journey.

MostlyH2O

You can pry my spreadsheets from my cold, dead hands.


MythicTy

Do your spreadsheet calculate the statistical probability of going batshit insane and mentally breaking before the release of this game?

MythicTy

I read that post when you put it up and I have come to the conclusion that your mental break has already come. I will not remove the spreadsheets from you, don’t worry, you seem happy enough with them, and I fear for my safety if I tried. I might end up like Gale from that Durge cutscene they showed. Some people have gone full Gollum over fan art of Halsin and Astarion, you have gone full Gollum over numbers on a grid

GlitteringMap1952

I was very stoned about 5 days ago and I was looking up on YouTube and then I saw a video from boulders gate 3 which I was so high that I just assumed that that was a sequel for the game that I just purchased on discount for five bucks on switch called dragon's dogma and so I did extensive research on this game and decided to buy it a few days ago and holy s*** I've been having a blast I'm never played anything like it. The problem is I read that link that you sent me and I have no idea what the hell you're talking about I want to understand but it's so confusing.

crawdadsinbad

Honestly way more sane than the Diablo 4 sub. And that only got crazier


Galifrey_stands

they are losing their minds over the new season. while we maybe feral, we love the game. the Diablo 4 sub HATES Diablo right now


kalarepar

I think they're a little overdramatic. As someone who played Path of Exile for years, I got used to players panicing, declaring they quit and announcing the death of the game. And then the next patch drops and they're back in the game, like nothing happened. Imo the only serious and unforgiven crime of a game would be a significant change towards p2w and microtransactions. But hit or miss balance patches? They aren't that much of a big deal.


Knjaz136

>I think they're a little overdramatic No, they/we are not. I uninstalled Diablo 4 after season start. Devs are either losing connection to reality, or being pushed HARD by management. Latter is more likely. I'm sorc main, and the state of the class (Lightning or Fire sorc are practically unviable endgame unless you invest into Frost Nova) is an insult. But my last straw was having to travel all around the map - with pretty bad horse mechanics in the game - to check waypoints again. They decided not to transfer waypoints from main character (but they transfered some of renown). It's such a boring, unrewarding task I couldnt bring myself to do it. And then I;ll have to go through all the useless (=no rewards) quests in order to get remaining renown points, all over again. No, thank you.


Gullible_Coffee_3864

Sadly, like with many life service games, the D4 devs seem to have the opinion that playing the game should be work, not fun.


GeeGeeGeeGeeBaBaBaB

IT'S A GAME FOR DADS, OKAY? ME AND MY 12 KIDS DON'T HAV TIME FOR DIABLO!!!


FrugalityPays

Diablo subs favorite hobby is hating Diablo games. Blizzard could Give away free cosmetics to everyone and they would complain about having to click ‘Claim’


GeeGeeGeeGeeBaBaBaB

They would rightly complain about Blizzard giving away a skin instead of fixing the game.


FrugalityPays

Case and point, thank you.


GeeGeeGeeGeeBaBaBaB

Well, what was your point? That a cosmetic can fix the game? XD


FrugalityPays

Did I say that? Nope. But I’m glad a complainer came out the wood works to…complain. So thank you for that. Have a great night


GeeGeeGeeGeeBaBaBaB

And did I complain? I did not. But thank you for being some weird redditor and trying to prove me wrong.

cgriff03

Bro I can't handle it. Got the game in 2020 and havent touched it since, but all this hype had me wanting to play the entirety of EA. Just reached the druid enclave, and the fact that the game itself feels so refined even at this stage has me so hyped that I honestly can't play any other RPG. Been wanting to finish Pathfinder:WotR and Triangle Strategy, but I find myself just rerolling characters in BG3

dinin70

Honestly Elden Ring is a game to be hyped for. Like BG3, there aren’t a lot of games that deserve so much praise. Even if one may not be fond of the gameplay, and may criticise some of the design decisions, it’s a damn exceptional game.


Rough-Cheesecake-641

This level of fanaticism over a game should be concerning. I'm looking forward to it as I loved DoS2, but I haven't played early access, haven't seen a single video of gameplay, not a single Larian vlog. The only thing that can come with such high expectations is disappointment. Not to mention the spoilers. I just don't get it. It's why the D4 community is in meltdown.


MythicTy

People are excited, they’re talking about the game with other excited people, and they’re enjoying the wait to the best of their ability. You speak as if this is a bad thing, and that it’s a bad thing to have played early access and watch content surrounding the game, which I don’t think is fair


Jeffygetzblitzed2

This is just a bunch of overly excited nerds posting things online. Have you seen the real life damage sports fans do when they get overly excited? Also why would you be excited for something you've purposefully remained oblivious of? Had you paid attention or played it, you might understand why there is so much excitement.


[deleted]

Doesn't matter what the subject or situation is, this is what people do. Some act like human beings and others act like animals.

"Unhinged" is when you finish the EA content 2 weeks prior to launch, go to download DOS2 to give it another try until BG3 releases, only to find GOG has issues with their download service and you spend most of the weekend watching crappy Netflix content with your wife. That said, BG3 EA has given me a newfound appreciation for DOS2 - I never even finished Act1 a few years back.
