Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.
I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

Lemmy: stopthatgirl7@lemmy.world
Especially since the people who seem to complain the most never post anything themselves.
I read the article. I read everything I post first.
But don’t worry. I won’t waste your time by posting here anymore.
Those are likely PC games, yes? Japan has stricter rules for games on consoles.
I was able to buy it the day it came out on Steam, even though there was no official Japanese release yet, and it wasn’t censored.
Steam isn’t as friendly for having multiple accounts as the PS store, though. I have a US account and a Japanese account on PlayStation, so I could get games that didn’t release over here or where they were censored here like BG5 through the US account. Steam won’t let you just create another account in another country, seems like. Which is annoying.
Most likely these are only changes for the PS5, because the games rating board is really strict about what’s allowed on consoles, thanks to the idea children are more likely to game on one. So PC gamers should still get the full experience.
Ignore this comment; it’s just to get the post to federate 🥴
Yeah, I’ve already got it from Steam.
Console games have much stricter rules about what can or can not be shown than pc games over here, so this sounds about right for the PS5 release.
Ok bro. I’ve had basically seven shots of gin and am drink to argue. You enjoy your win on this point or whatever; I’m drunk whee
Having an ensemble cast means the writers maybe don’t have to worry too much about any particular character being hit or miss, those misses are allowances, not targets.
I don’t think the writer is talking about having characters people don’t like as what the game writers spoiled be aiming for, but that from the point of view as a player, if there’s a character you just to not like, it means the game is written well. Which to me makes sense, because you don’t care one way or the other about a character that’s not written well. For you to actually dislike a character, they’ve got to be well written because they feel like a person.
“Bad” does have inherent value because one person’s “bad” Is another person’s “awesome.”
I think Gale is “bad” as she’s defining it because he’s boring and his squishy ass kept getting curb-stomped when I tried to use him. I also hate the way he tries to romance you and the incel vibes I got of him. But go on tumblr and folks just adore him and his romance. What makes him “bad” to me is a selling point to others. That’s what I think the writer is trying to say.
They have varied characters because different people like different things.
That’s what the writer is saying, though? She’s saying it’s good for games to have characters some people consider “bad,” because what’s “bad” Is different for everyone. It means a game has a well-rounded cast of characters.
I’m hoping a lesson they take is “let Larian make BG4” as well.
It wasn’t stolen; it was sent to the streamer by mistake - they ordered something that had a very similar name and were sent the wrong item by the distributor. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/26/wizards-of-the-coast-sends-pinkerton-agency-to-person-that-bought-unreleased-magic-cards-in-error/
I actually got BG3 initially because people were saying it was so much like Dragon Age Origins.
That is an impossible ask.
I don’t think they were lowballing; I think they genuinely complete underestimated Baldur’s Gate 3. Their internal documents comparing games coming out classified it as a “second-run Stasis PC RPG.”
One of the devs said that playing the Dark Urge while trying to do a good alignment run was the most heroic run. That’s definitely what I’m trying on my next game.
You seriously need to lighten up if a joke has you this pressed. Maybe take a walk outside or something.
Because now I’ll see it every time I find one. Ignorance was far more blissful.
Oh, thank goodness! I’ve been following this story and I’m so glad they’re all out.
