I'm on the hype train. 17k affected choices or not. I'm hearing, many decisions in a rpg. I have the deluxe pre-ordered but for the first time actually considered the collector edition. The statue is amazing and it would support Larian Studios. I'll be playing this for couple years I'm sure. Once I start to get tired of playing the rpg I'll switch to playing like an actual D&D campaign and only play once or twice a month. I'm just glad I didn't need to buy a cpu to play it.
Nice! Looks more like a game I'd enjoy as Madden has gotten to technical for my old brain. I enjoy a fun franchise mode without having to practice each week with players to slowly level them up.
@Shakybeeves couldn't agree more. Yes, the romance scenes would cause a bump to the sales, but mainly due to knowing all the romance options. To PushSquares credit, this article does mention other reasons, however the title and main focus on the bear are sad to see.
Is a bit over long, but like he said I can drop out and come back later. I did that with DOS2 and Pathfinder Wraith of the Righteous. It's easier to drop out and come back with these games as turned based gives you time to relearn and use different strategies. Glad I'm not a trophy hunter though. That would be a huge time sink. Still super excited for this game.
This is my most anticipated game this year. Sad to see it delayed, but a week is no problem. I do have it pre-ordered and I am looking forward to the 72 hour early access. Larian studios are tops on my list for making great isometric rpgs. They are currently running a murder mystery taking place in Baldurs Gate. You can help solve the case and pick via vote which direction solving the case will go next. I'm eating it all up.
@IAmAshCohen17 @Ravix I copied a link to the shortest recap of the first 2 games to give you an idea of history. https://youtu.be/N-teY77zCws
There are however many recaps, some by wolfheartfps are the best. He is my goto for all things Baldurs Gate 3
Saw the list and noticed a game I haven't heard of, Rogue Stormers. Watched the trailer. It looks like a rogue-like Contra game. Will check it out before it goes. So many games on these plus tiers, easy to miss some.
@kyleforrester87 might have to start a BG3 thread when it comes out. I know you and I are more vocal fans of isometric rpgs on this site. Maybe we can get a few more as well.
This is my most anticipated game of the year. I'm a big fan of isometric rpgs and the Baldur's Gate D&D setting. It brings me back to my pen and paper days. Can't wait.
Had a blast with the pawn system. It was fun to look at what gear each pawn had. I also liked knowing my decked out pawn would help someone else out in their campaign.
It was OK. Having Dragons Dogma 2 saved the show from being poor. I did like the trailers to trailers way of doing things. At least they took out the bloated chatter from the past.
This will see the light of day. There just too much money on the table for it not too. The question is not if, but when. It may not even be playstation at some point, but it will come out. At least from my strategic arm chair game player perspective.
Curious to see how this plays out, hopefully positively for all gamers. Now to watch what other gaming companies get bought up as this deal finishes to completion.
Premium will start getting value if ps2 games start popping up. I can't think of a ps1 game that I want to play again really. The trials are ok, but still not worth the extra bump. I'd cancel if it wasn't grandfathered in at the cheaper price.
PS5 hands down. Reason is the superfast boot up time. It makes the minimal sound a very positive experience, knowing you can jump into gaming in under 10 seconds. If I went on sound alone, ps1 is classic.
I have yet to read the other comments, but for me the psplus services are great except for Premium. I did demo a game, but the offerings of the classics is weak and to be fair not many I would want anyways. I would drop the premium if I wasn't grandfathered in at $60 or was it 70.
Looks promising. Reminds me of BDO only prettier with less pop in. Hopefully it won't have crazy grind of BDO and 5000 currencies. I did enjoy BDO up to a point, so Hopefully this is most of the good from that. Fingers crossed.
All 3 are worth a play at least for a bit. I can see myself getting pulled into Chivalry 2 the most. Will be a bit though as I just started God of War Ragnarock.
More Souls games I love them all. Armored core looks meh to me, but it's only the trailer so far and might just not be for me. Maybe keep leaning into the authors of fantasy books to help create lore. My vote, ask wordsmith Patrick Rothfuss for a new world building story line and craft around that.
Great month for me. I've had my hand hovering over the buy button on chivalry 2 and mount and blade 2 many times. The others will be great filler too as I wait for After Us to release at the end of May.
I wonder if PS5 pro is part of phase 2. Not that I would buy the next one, as I didn't with ps4 and it worked out fine, but and interesting way to phrase it.
@Voltan it's the toads that are bad, not sure if frogs are involved . Reminds me of 2 restaurants down the road from each other. The Horny Toad and The Satisfied Frog. Both had good ribs. Frogs would be fun to play as. Last frog I played was a frog shaman in Everquest. I just liked that he flipped everytime he cast a spell.
Sounds interesting. I have been on the look out for a more simple yet fun fishing game. Toss in some Lovecraft makes it all the more interesting. Last fishing game I played was on PC late 90s. Had a blast with friends trying to catch the biggest fish. It was a much simpler game than today's fishing games. You find a spot on the lake. It switches views when you fish. And you aim for the biggest fish shadow and hope it bites and doesn't break the line as you reel it in. I could never remember the name. Maybe this one will "hook" me. Ill watch some videos on it.

@Fiendish-Beaver fantastic! I'm jealous as well. Those would be a couple of amazing bookends.

Re: Larian Studios Gets TikTok Ban for Bear-Form Druid Sex Scene in Baldur's Gate 3
For me it was increasing their attraction to each other. Both having beasts inside that are hard to control. Not so much just a bear thing

@kyleforrester87 nice! We will have to compare adventures!
Re: Lords of the Fallen Really Is Shaping Up to Be a Surprise PS5 Stunner
Wow. Quite impressed. Only reason I'm not pre-ordering is that it is so close to Baldur's Gate release. I will buy eventually though.
