One of the devs said they've implemented some stuff more raunchy than bear sex.

I guess they know their audience, but it's kinda weird just how horny the promotion of the game has been

Like, there was an entire trailer just for romance scenes

They probably couldn't afford to pay the reviewers enough for a good score anyways.

Why do you need it boiled down to a number anyways. I have seen plenty of impressions of the game just in passing.

if you like those kind of games at all you should buy it. I've tried a bunch of them and it was probably the easiest to get into. still challenging, but the tutorials are good and I like the roll visuals. it also made me want to go and play divinity original sin 2 again and I've gotten further in that game in a week than I ever did before

I know that the first two Baldur's Gate games are held in high regard, but how well do they hold up today? And is there anything to suggest that this release is going to be anything more than a cash grab trying to capitalize on the name?

EDIT: I'm an idiot, didn't realize this was an Early Access game.

You can watch dozens of hours of gameplay already and have been able to for years

Just look at that instead of arbitrary numbers

Iirc review copies went out at the latest point possible to make sure the devs had enough time to fix any last minute bugs.

Any review coming out by the end of next week is going to be rushed af

maybe but honestly, I really feel awkward with many romance scenes in other games...they just feel so out of place or like someone just took a ken and barbie doll and just started smashing them together.

Tomorrow is when? I already bought the game and have played Early Access, but was told to delete the game to make room for this. But I have no idea what time it comes out. I want to start downloading it while I sleep

Laziness. People would rather glance at a simple number than sift through hundreds of those complicated words.

There's less need for a metacritic score due to the prolonged Early Access period, it's not like it's hard to find people absolutely gushing about the game.

The best damn review Larian could have asked for was those articles written about the developers crying about BG3 being too good and making them look bad.

But like more than half the time the scores are fake anyways. There are literally multiple accounts at multiple point in video gaming history where large players like IGN or Gamespot admitted to the person deciding the score for the games to not have played the game.

The scores are meaningless. The devil is in the details, and shockingly, you can actually find out quite a bit about the game by just reading it. It's crazy, I know. Like if they complain about difficulty and their disclaimer says "played on normal difficulty," it says a whole lot about the completeness of this review, as in if you're not playing normal, this review means literally nothing to you

This feels like a game I should be really excited for. However, I played Divinity Original Sin 2 a while a ago and didn't really care for it. It had all the makings of a great game but it just seemed off to me.
