Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer (www.pcgamer.com)

Should I buy Baldurs Gate 3, its extremely expensive still.

[–] lostbit@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago

Its a regular price these days. Tho if your not in a hurry just wait for a pricr drop (can wishlist it on deals.gg to get notifed)

Depends. How badly do you want to play the game bioware wishes it could put out?

[–] turnip@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Is it insanely good, like Factorio level polish, or was it just hyped due to recency bias?

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Worth it. Absolutely, it's got both great game play and story and more so then any other rpg of its type it feels like your character and the choices you make are actually pretty major. It let's you be more evil then in almost any other game if you are into that.

70% good, 30% hype

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

It's not bad but I personally couldn't get into it, too much dnd.

[–] castlebravo404@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Worth the hype IMHO.

I will always recommend the game. But holding to a budget is more important.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It’s polished and undoubtedly one of the best games of all time.

My only gripe is that I find the pause-based combat lengthy, though not bad.
