d3Xt3r, do gaming w Baldur's Gate 3 Review Thread

Is thee anyone here who hates turn-based RPGs, tried this game and actually liked it?

sweafa,

yep, here! and its awesome!!!

Clamor_,

Can concur! I absolutely despise turn based combat but I’ve been enjoying this game through and through for 30 hours.

EremesZorn,

I usually despise cRPGs (turn-based, party-based tactical, can’t grind to be OP, decisions matter TOO much) but love JRPGs. But I cannot put this game down. It’s just too well-made and there’s too much flexibility and interactivity not to be intrigued at every turn.

I found that link in this thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/does_linux_version_of_baldurs_gate_enhanced_edition_work_out_of_the_box

It explains why it does not work and have a link to a solution (the first link I pasted)

EDIT. I tried it and it works

ono,

Text of the accepted answer from that thread:

As I understand it, even the most current version of the game links to a horribly outdated version of openssl that is no longer shipped by modern Linux distributions. The publisher has neither fixed this nor bundled the version they need, so you will not be able to start the program due to missing openssl-1.0.so. Most distributions provide a special package to install this legacy library, commonly named openssl-compat or similar. You could also choose any of a number of highly questionable sites that purport to host downloads of this obsolete library.

Meanwhile, Wine runs the Windows version of the game fine. If I recall correctly, I didn’t even need to adjust any settings in Wine to get it to work.

Lojcs,

Isn’t that a single player game? Why does it need ssl to run?

I think it does have a multiplayer mode, but not sure why it would require SSL of all things

Edit: a clause

Yall i was fucking with Baldur’s Gate 3 splitscreen with my wife and found out that using an Nvidia graphics card and 2 monitors, I can turn vertical split screen games to broadcast to 2 different monitors so it looks like 1 screen each.

Fucking awesome.

None of my friends were half as impressed as me and the wife were. I feel like a technical God recently (all because I figured out how to enable a setting and set an aspect ratio properly for 2 screens lol)

Larian studios seems great. I would like more companies to invest in / hire studios similar to Larian. Sure, WotC sucks. But I will vote with my dollars for them to work with Larian. Maybe it means in the future more gaming companies might look like Larian. Everybody has to draw their own line, though.

If you have experience with RPGs that’s all you need, the game will walk you thru it as others have said, I’ve never played d&d and having a good time

I think your partner is on the right track-- be part of the solution, make something new.

almar_quigley, do gaming w Backwards compatibility is the best feature of Xbox, and I don't understand why Sony is so far behind on this

lol, I’d rather have the first party modern bangers Sony’s pumping out then…checks notes…literally no good first party games on my xsx since I bought it. Backwards compatibility is great, but I don’t spend $600+ on a console to play old games. I can keep my old consoles around for that or emulate.

NuPNuA,

Depends on your tastes doesn’t it. I’ll take a hundred smaller projects like Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush or Psychonauts over another generic open world adventure or sad dad simulator.

prole,

I have all there of those on my PC/Steam Deck. They’re not really XBox exclusives.

NuPNuA,

They’re Xbox console exclusives, don’t be disengenuious.

prole,

I wasn’t being disingenuous… I can and have played all of those games and I have never owned an XBox in my life. That’s not exclusive.

prole,

Yeah. I also have a Steam Deck, if I want to play an old PS1 or PS2 game and it isn’t on PS+ then I’ll just emulate it.

I will say though, there are a few PS3 games that have yet to be remastered that are kind of a blind spot, but that list is getting shorter.

BG3 baybee what other game is there!?

chloyster, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 6th

For me, I just finished pikmin 4 100%!!! I have now moved on to Jedi survivor, which I am having a lot of fun with.

I got it near launch, but it didn’t run super well. I am happy I waited as the game runs much smoother than it did when it came out

Oh man, that screenshot of Progress Quest gave me instant nostalgia

LoamImprovement,

Sigh.

Once more into the killing fields we go, friends.

Brightwave, do gaming w What incremental games do you enjoy?

I recently beat Antimatter Dimensions after coming back to the Reality update after a long while. There’s a lot of depth, especially in the new additions. I appreciate all the layers and addition of QoL upgrades.

Bitburner was fun as an incremental hacking sim. I haven’t played it for a while, but I find it really unique.

There’s also Orb of Creation which can be a bit grindy but also seems really fun for what it offers. I’ve been playing the demo version at marple.itch.io/orb-of-creation

Stillhart,

Just want to report that I’ve been hopelessly obsessed with BitBurner since I saw you recommend it over a month ago. Thanks!

chloyster, do gaming w What incremental games do you enjoy?

It’s not a type of game I often play, but I enjoyed Kittens game a lot. And space plan, while not super long, was also really enjoyable

Stillhart,

+1 for Space Plan

I haven’t found/heard of a good, meaty new game in a while. Recetly I’ve dug back into Leaf Blower Revolution but like a lot of incremental games it eventually devolves into having very specific strategies or goals.

I have quite enjoyed Synergism in the past, as well as Wizard and Minion Idle and NGU.

Anissem, do gaming w Ace Combat is great
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Ace Combat 7 plays very well on SteamDeck too

My partner and I just finished the game a few weeks ago and were surprised at how good and memorable it is. There were like 5 times in that game where we were like “Wait, we’re not near the end?” and it was such a treat every time

HowlsSophie,

This game was FANTASTIC. Would definitely play a sequel if it came out.
