Man BG3 is good. Playing co-op w/friend that gave me the CPU I'm about to upgrade (she started me down that path lol) Last night we did some of the Goblin Camp (we play 2-3hrs at a time every few days so, not far yet). Freed Volo and took out a good chunk of Goblins inside the keep. Went back to camp and friend said "Hey, talk to Volo, I wanna see what you do."
Those of you that know, yeah I let him finish, and laughed maniacally as I watched him book it outta camp. #CoSoGaming #Gaming #PC #BG3
@AskTheDevil I been gaming a long time now (turned 48 this month) and I can think of maybe a couple dozen games as impressive (more if you wanna include stuff that changed the landscape like say Super Mario 64).
I almost feel sorry for Starfield. I put 230 hours into it, and it was fine, but yea BG3 makes it look like it's sitting at the kiddie table during the holidays.
I sure hope someone gets the rights from Hasbro, but it's gonna cost more than Larian can afford, without help.
@AskTheDevil Recent events have certainly bridled the fanbase. They might regain trust, unlike Unity (currently Unity sure looks like it's going to collapse, if nothing else Godot is absorbing the lion's share of Unity's userbase loss). But the brand has taken a big hit here, and with that Hasbro may actually be looking to get away from the bad PR. So yeah, it's possible the cost is less than I think. I still think Larian can't solo it, but they just became much bigger players, so who knows.
@blackknight95857669 There was talk they were trying to convince Tencent to invest in that instead.
@blackknight95857669 Maybe after Hasbro has finished making the property worth less than a used car, they'll be able to afford it! ; )
I kind of hope they open up that engine in a way that lets people make their own apps and adventures. That would blow any virtual tabletop I've seen right out of the water.
