derin, w Let's Just Calm Down About The Nudity In Baldur's Gate 3
@derin@lemmy.beru.co avatar

Who are the streamers whining about this? I guess I haven’t been exposed to the controversy yet, so I’m curious what they’re saying.

Yeah, I really wish the writer had linked to some examples of what they’re talking about.

TheRazorX,

Best thing i could find on it. doesn't seem like it's actually a controversy

grimaferve, w Let's Just Calm Down About The Nudity In Baldur's Gate 3

I mostly agree. Games of all types can co-exist and knowing this doesn't ruin enjoyment of the games that I do play.

Like Skyrim modding for example, there's so many mods that display fanservice, nudity and even intercourse. Does that ruin the game for me? Not at all. In fact, I still play it despite that knowledge. I simply choose not to use mods that I don't want to use.

Or a certain magicky wizarding game, that game can exist too without wishing death on people who want to play it. Doesn't mean I have to play it, nor does it ruin gaming for me.

Instead, the logical thing to do would be to pass on this game and find another. I fully understand that BG3 is one of the games of our lifetime, but it's not the game for me. (Of which there are many)

As someone who grew up watching my father crawl through dungeons (I think he enjoyed IWD more than BG), it's great to see Baldur's Gate at the forefront. Hopefully more of my childhood favourite RPGs will come back. I'd love to see Dungeon Siege and Neverwinter Nights brought back.

Karak,

The wizarding game upsets me. I grew up with that series and it is literally a game I would have loved to play as a kid, but I don't want to support the TERF. Low-key hoping it comes to ps+ so I can get it without giving them money.

Too bad game devs don't care. They make more farming rich morons using micros and FOMO than they could dream of making, otherwise.

Poob,

Hey, don’t blame us poor devs for the decisions that get forced upon us

JonEFive,

Hot take: mtx are a good thing as long as they don’t cause a significant imbalance in gameplay. There’s a reason the price of a AAA game has remained roughly $60 for nearly two decades in spite of increasing development costs and inflation.

People who purchase in game add-ons subsidize those who don’t.

Author got burned bad in the comments:

8 hours ago

“Instead of getting more accepting of microtransactions these days because they’ve become so normalized, I’m moving the opposite direction. I genuinely resent Diablo 4 for sinking so, so much work into its $15-30 armor sets in the store when they could have been farmable in the game, and in-game sets are already starting to fall behind in the seasonal model.”

You clearly don’t resent it that much, considering you gave Diablo 4 a 9/10.

@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

It's not a burn; it's a poorly constructed comment made out of context. The author's criticism on Diablo 4 is based within the context of Baldur's Gate 3's release. The review for D4 was written before BG3 was released.

I would be happy if MTX were just a default penalty rule on all game review scores. MTX: Yes. Score -2.

My weirdest video game would be “type of the dead “.

Your character runs around a post apocalyptic earth with a weapon that looks like a Sega Dreamcast converted into a backpack with a AA battery below it. When the zombies appear words and sentences appear on them, and you have to type out the words and sentences to shoot them each letter gives you a bullet sound.

It is incredibly fun, and if I could easily put it on my iMac, I would 

P.S.I have no idea of the grammar I’m using is correct. this is all talk to text.

@theodewere@kbin.social avatar

woah, a zombie typing game? haha that's amazing..

we could up the difficulty on that one by making so that you have to create text that an AI couldn't in order to beat the zombies

My sister DM’d a game for me and a mate once, and it was like a DMT trip.

Endless ocean world with an immense world tree and sky whales. It was pretty epic.

    They weren't able to get HYPR-RX out in time, which is just a switch to toggle a bunch of other switches, so I'm only gonna believe it when I see it.

    Wondering if they’ll re-record the late Reddick’s lines to have the voice sound uniform throughout the campaign, like what happened with the Ghost back in the day.

    It said in the article that they won’t.

    csolisr, w Overwatch 2's Steam debut is big, but those user reviews are rough

    I’m not touching that game until they go and take the cowboy out of the game. We’re not fools Blizzard, that rename was just a cheap way to put things under the rug and we know already who’s that guy based on

    ampersandrew,
    @ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

    But like...the real guy isn't a cowboy. They renamed him. You'd remove an entire character from the game? Renaming him seems like the appropriate response.

    harmonea,
    @harmonea@kbin.social avatar

    I agree removing the character entirely seems too far. The characters are designed differently enough that you would be leaving a reasonable number of people without their favorite playstyle entirely without a suitable replacement.

    I get people not being able to look past the history, but I'm not sure there's any more reasonable course of action that can be taken. The name was the homage, not the kit, art, or lines. And now that name is gone.

    I think those who are still upset about it would have to accept they fall under "Don't like? Don't engage" rather than calling for further action.

    AlbertScoot,

    I was more angry that they changed the name at all, it's just an attempt to pretend they never did anything wrong.

    Kind of a low bar…

    bleuy007, w Starfield Is the Biggest Game for Xbox Since Halo 5 - IGN

    What are all of your general expectations for Starfield? I feel like in my corner of the internet, people are generally being very skeptical and pessimistic. I think this is fair, based on the last few years of Bethesda.

    conciselyverbose,

    I didn't love fallout, but mostly because of the dinky crafted weapons and their handling and the fact that you almost had to use VATS to make it work. They're damn good at making giant worlds worth exploring, and the gunplay looks a lot more fluid than fallout. I like the premise of highly customizable shipbuilding a lot more than fallout's settlements, too. It's far from guaranteed to be great, but "sci-fi Skyrim with enough engine improvements for guns to feel OK" is extremely promising to me. There's a reason Skyrim is still selling copies a decade later when the mechanics are super limited by age, and if they're able to bring the same world building to space exploration I'm all for it.

    technologicalcaveman,

    I'm not going to get it. I just don't like the bethesda style for their recent stuff. I didn't like fallout 4 at all. My favorite bethesda game is tied between daggerfall and morrowind.
