| Topic | Baldur's Gate 3 probably has the best game voice acting I've ever heard. |
| KamikazePotato 06/07/24 10:56:04 PM #11 | Disco Elysium is the best but it's not quite aCRPG. No combat to speak of, for one thing. Definitely overlap with the genre though.
Planescape Torment has fantastic writing but its gameplay hasn't aged well. Personally I like it almost as much as Disco Elysium, but I also played it back in the day. Also requires mods/patches to run properly on modern hardware I think. Fallout 1/2 aren't fantasy so they're not 100% comparable. The gameplay is archaic by modern standards, and it isn't as in-depth, but the writing and atmosphere hold up well. Original Sin 2 has extremely good core gameplay (potentially better than Baldur's Gate 3) with middling characters/plot and inventory bloat that drove me insane. I drowned in the crafting system. Really enjoyed it for like 45 hours, though. Original Sin 1 is just 2 but worse. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has great writing and characters (potentially better than Baldur's Gate 3) but its gameplay is not so great and it wastes your time like crazy. Had to mod the everloving crap out of it to outright skip some parts. Really enjoyed it for like 45hours, though. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is just Wrath of the Righteous but worse. If Baldur's Gate 3 can have the gameplay of Divinity 2 plus the writing of Wrath of the Righteous (combined with crazy production values), I will be very happy. --- It's Reyn Time. |

whenever you're done i'll highly recommend playing the Divinity Original Sin games too.I've played Planescape Torment, Original Sin 1, Original Sin 2, Pathfinder Kingmaker, Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Fallout 1, Fallout 2, a bit of Tyranny, a bit of Baldur's Gate 1, and Disco Elysium if that counts. I'm no stranger to the genre! --- It's Reyn Time. |

BG3 might be the biggest attention to detail game I've ever played.I've played several other CRPGs that are close to it in that department. However this is first one with massive production values. Being able to see the actors' facial/body performances makes a huge difference. --- It's Reyn Time. |
| Topic | Baldur's Gate 3 probably has the best game voice acting I've ever heard. |
| KamikazePotato 06/07/24 7:14:03 PM #1 | About 20 hours in, and basically every single NPC I've talked to has come across as their own fully-fledged character because the VA is top notch. They nail whatever emotion they need to. I think a decent chunk of them are actually better than some of the main cast (who are also very good). It helps that I haven't recognized any voices, which is nice when lots of dubbed works seem to use the same rotating cast of VAs.
No single performance is sticking out to me as an all-timer (although Astarion is getting there), but it makes the world feel alive when everyone is great. --- It's Reyn Time. |

Nah I don't savescum, I live with my decisions.I'm mostly this way too, but I would still highly recommend experiencing multiple endings of the main game even if not the DLC. I think they feed into each other and make the overall narrative that much more satisfying. Speaking of which, I've officially beaten the game and am done with Cyberpunk. Overall I enjoyed the game way more than I thought I would. In B8 terms, I'd probably rank it in my Top 30 games, which is significant when I've played hundreds of games I like. Very glad I waited until now to try it out after the major issues had been smoothed over. DON'T CLICK ON THESE FFD: --- It's Reyn Time. |

| Topic | i'm sad, i don't think outer wilds is happening |
| KamikazePotato 06/04/24 11:52:12 AM #83 | I will go as far as to say that I don't think the ship controls could be better than they already are. This is coming from someone who isn't a particularly good pilot. Outer Wilds gives you near-perfect autonomy over what your ship is going to do; the rest is up to your execution. There's a learning curve and you'll still crash even later in the game if you fuck up, but that's a good thing. It makes the moment-to-moment flying engaging, and the penalty for failure is never steep anyway.

No way Trump lands in that 10%.I think it's probably higher than a 10% chance.

| KamikazePotato 05/30/24 4:35:59 AM #155 | So - a confession. I'd never actually finished the Cyberpunk anime. I started it a long time ago, got 7 episodes in, then sidetracked by real life (although I was really enjoying it). The sidetrack + getting spoiled on the ending made me not have much motivation to finish it.
But with literally only the final mission of 2077 left...figured I should go tie off that loose end. Which means I experienced the Phantom Liberty ending yesterday, and the Edgerunners ending tonight. Emotions. --- It's Reyn Time. |

It was probably something like 'beating the Elite Four in Pokemon RBY' because that felt like an accomplishment back then.
