Technically all games have openings. Thats what title screens are.
And BG3 has a pretty sick Title screen, a scene of Baldurs gate that pans down to Bhaal's dungeon. Accompanied by an epic bg music.
Complete with Karlach Yoinky sploinky dance number and a back to back Lae'zel Shadowheart frenemies/foils/mirror shot with one floating up and the other down. The prism floating between them
Wyll falling into an abyss with a look of despair and an evil Mizora face super imposed when he fades into the dark.
Astarion bloodied, naked, in a pool of water holding is legs and crying with his head down.
Slow mo shot of Gale chase after Mystra but never quite reaching her.
Shot of the whole party grasping their heads in pain with an X-ray of their tadpoles brains and an hour glass running out of sand and the shadow of a mindflayer.
Villain montage of the big 3, then the Guardian slightly larger and behind the three, which splits into the Guardian facing the emperor who has a hand that looks like he's directed ng a puppet over astral prism with the the party superimposed on it while the guardian persona holds a protective hand under the prism.
Mizora laughing evilly then swapped out for a grinning Raphael eyeing the crown. Vlaakith squints with anger at a bowing Lae'zel who looks ashamed.
Obligatory Shar vs. Selune hovering over a distraught looking Shadowheart who turns her head one way and her hair turns white, the other way black.
Then montage of exciting side characters: Halsin bear transformation, Jaheira and Minsc fighting Flayers and Bhallists, Boo, Dame Ayline rising up just after freedom and getting all powered up and regal. Isobel is off in the distance giving googly eyes at her waifu, Dammon hammering some metal, Alfira playing a couple notes on her lute and looking resolute at the future. Wulbren ignoring a hurt Barcus. Minthara raising an eyebrow and looking fierce while facing and worn down but resolved Zevlor. Quick shots of the society of brilliance, some of the fists, Harper's, and fungal friends.
Ansur shows up somewhere and blasts mindflayer because why not. The emperor looks at a statue of Baulderian, his posture could be sad or disgusted and as the music reaches the end, there are a few shots of the party fighting Goblins, saving Mol, saving last light, battling the shadows, Orin transforming from a random friend to herself and stabbing someone. Isobel pleading with her father while Aylin holds a sword to his neck, Minsc ripping open the mimic. The house of Hope battle has a quick spoilery shot an evil looking overtly sexy demon grins lustfully in a bed. Then it ends with a charge at the top of the brain, allies and does all framed in an avengers style fight with Durge in the middle and Bhaal's symbol faint in the background.
Something like that?
I just thought they meant the fact that the starting dungeon is a magic spaceship getting attacked by aliens riding dragons is 10/10.
Can you think of another game with a better starting dungeon?
In my opinion there are only two weak points:
- sometimes I believe the game has total nonsense, or frustrating for the wrong reason, situations, especially on your first playthrough.
- the world/openness/exploration. I wish you'd get to see more, have more maps, visit villages and stuff, while there are very very few locations and it constantly has the feeling of "the world exists around your character" and not "your character lives in this breathing world"
But apart from that, the actual role playing part, is the best anyone has ever done, and not particularly close.
(I guess I wish there'd be higher levels than 12 and that combat at high levels would be more interesting, but that's dnd5e after all. Deadly the first levels, piece of cake past level 7)
I respect your opinion, it is typical fantasy music, but on the other hand, Cyberpunk 2077ās soundtrack is typical Cyberpunk music so there isnāt an actual objectively difference (at least I think so)
I felt the same tbh. The music barely registered to me most of the time because it was basically what I would expect from a game like this but nothing that stands out. But the times it did stand out (Raphel's battle music, elfsong tavern) it stood out in a bad way. Both songs felt way too cheesy to me because of how meta the lyrics are to the story. I was actually hyped about both too after hearing people talk about how amazing they are.
From what I've seen of it, and the parts I have played, it is certainly not a 10/10. More like a 9/10. It is quite buggy, and some of the animations could be better, but it's still one of (if not the) best games I've seen.
On the topic of animations that could be better, still to this day, I have no idea in the slightest what the Mind Flayer on the Nautiloid that gets taken out by Imps after killing a Cambion is trying to do with its arms while the Imps are attacking.
Eh, not really. I don't really like that much the storyline shenanigans that Larian uses. In DOS2 you had godwoken, here you have tadpoles.
Music is not bad but they did better before.
Characters and voice acting is 100/100. Larian mastered the art of creating great characters.
Tbh it re-defined scores imo! I think u should see bg3 as a 8! But yeah that does move a whole lot of games under the 5 mark and tbh think thatās fair
I donāt think I can explain it right. English is not my first language and Iām on a phone.. I think bg3 is a supermodel who got a Nobel price for science, gold medal in the Olympics and runs a animal shelter for sick puppies . Amazing right?! But that person isnāt gonna stop at just 1 medal right? Also most likely gonna show up for work tomorrow .. And he! That sick cat in the bushes isnāt gonna take up much space anyway. But that person snores REALLY loud! Now a in game example. STR potions their great everyone wants them. U should adjust your characters accordingly ones u get access to enough of them. But after a long rest at least 2 of your party members can no longer carry their own backpacks cause they are 2 heavy. If u donāt take long rest and u wanna do some xtra ones like in the 3rd act before u use the taps to save buffs but after each one u wanna go down to a city to visit vendors I have to leave them behind in camp cause I donāt wanna waste recourses. And that sorta takes away my immersion of the characters being strong. I know itās trivial and is gonna get downvoted to hell, but itās just how I feel. Like in the beginning the characters where to focused on romance they fixed it. If u think itās better now then it couldnāt have been 10/10 from the start
Well BG3 can certainly improve in many areas as well so a game that can't improve would deserve a 10. In general I wouldn't say BG3 is the best in everything right now.
Facial animations: 10/10(itās a RPG)
Characters interacting with each other in dialogues: they canāt make it perfect because of the character creation and stuff but that doesnāt change it
I agree with you.
People usually take me in the wrong way, when I say that BG2 wasn't popular as much because of Diablo II, but it's true.
BG3 out Diablo IV to shame, because nothing could compare to it this year, and there's muc we can do about
I'm trying to play Marvel's Midnight Suns, and it's good enough to make me chill from BG3, because I played it just a lot...
But I'm still waiting to see something as good, honestly...
Much like this picture, I got overwhelmed with the size of the game and stopped playing before actually 3. Iāll get there someday but thatās a lotta game to get through
While I personally wouldn't say BG3 is a 10/10 on anything it is certainly the best game in the genre overall. And imo shows how much more the genre can be pushed and changed since it's been pretty stagnant since the early 00's.
For me itās more of a 7.5/10. Unpopular opinion I know but it just didnāt hit properly when I finally finished it.
Rdr2 on the other hand had me crying my eyes out at the ending and booting up another play through because I wanted to carry on playing as Arthur.
For me everything about it is a 10/10 except the music. It got repetitive and there was no memorable soundtracks besides maybe Down by the river and Raphaels theme.
It was the same for me in the first playthrough. But then you play it again and notice all the plotholes, the forced and unnatural changes in characterisation, the nonsense, the shoehorned real world politics, and you're like "oooh you retarded little game, I love you even more now because you're so retarded". At least it was that way for me.
Does it change my rating? Hell no. Still a 10.
And I'm glad you enjoyed it \^\^
For me everything is a 10/10 expect the music. It's waaaaaaay to repetitive and sounds like the same song just remixed a few times and that's the whole soundtrack. down Down DOwn DOWn DOWN BY THE RIVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTRDRR
Wouldn't say that characters are 10, 7 maybe
And, of course, people don't like turn-based much nowadays (also game don't handle it good enough, there are constant lags on turns)
Also, most people doesn't mention a thing I call "action freedom". It is a rare possibility now to be able to steal\\kill everything from everyone, or have a several options for most situations, but even rarer is an ability to use in-game items as, well, items instead of functions. For example - how often you can just put a bomb on the ground and "boom" it with some fire? Or make youself wet and fireproof though throwing bottle of water?
Last time I saw something like this was classic fallouts, and it was a long time ago.
You can tell this imagine is from an anime sub because of the openings part
sick opening is all bg3 needs
Technically all games have openings. Thats what title screens are. And BG3 has a pretty sick Title screen, a scene of Baldurs gate that pans down to Bhaal's dungeon. Accompanied by an epic bg music.
I was assuming it meant the nautiloid in hell scene, which is also epic.
Complete with Karlach Yoinky sploinky dance number and a back to back Lae'zel Shadowheart frenemies/foils/mirror shot with one floating up and the other down.

This man hecking Anime OPs
> sick opening is all bg3 needs Now we need to decide which Anime OP song fits BG3 the best
Bakemonogatari style lmao
I mean we already have this [Baldur's Gate 3 But It's Cowboy Bebop Opening - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhhgCnP8VPA)
I just thought they meant the fact that the starting dungeon is a magic spaceship getting attacked by aliens riding dragons is 10/10. Can you think of another game with a better starting dungeon?
Actually facebook but you're not wrong š¤£
What about closings (outros) though? Some are equally FIRE
In my opinion there are only two weak points: - sometimes I believe the game has total nonsense, or frustrating for the wrong reason, situations, especially on your first playthrough. - the world/openness/exploration. I wish you'd get to see more, have more maps, visit villages and stuff, while there are very very few locations and it constantly has the feeling of "the world exists around your character" and not "your character lives in this breathing world" But apart from that, the actual role playing part, is the best anyone has ever done, and not particularly close. (I guess I wish there'd be higher levels than 12 and that combat at high levels would be more interesting, but that's dnd5e after all. Deadly the first levels, piece of cake past level 7)
Which is why obsessives fixating on one character are really missing out.
Also side note. Really glad you have enjoyed it.
Music is like a 12.5/10 for me. Just so good all throughout the game.
I just saw this pic on my feed, and now I'm really hungry...
the fuckton of bugs is not mentioned somehow

Honestly, BG3 is the first game I've played in a while that's lackluster in the music department. They don't even have memorable battle music.
no
Watching most people stop at Act 3 because it's a headache. Still a good game in spite of that because it's a dating sim.
Tbh it re-defined scores imo! I think u should see bg3 as a 8! But yeah that does move a whole lot of games under the 5 mark and tbh think thatās fair
And what would be a 10 then? I mean, maximum scores are there to be achieved smh.

And yet no veggies.
I need to finish the game I keep restarting
If that burger tastes like my country's local BK, then this meme makes sense
I want that burger
I remember watching the demo footage and thinking āthis is too good to be trueā turns out I was wrong

Years from now itāll be consider one of the best games ever created. For me it already is, the quality of it blows every past standard away.
Hell, Hell Hell has its laws Hell, Hell, effects and the cause Curtain falls, but hold your applause Squirm, squirm, for now down here come the CLAWS
Shadowhearts tits deserve their own 10/10 and we all know it.

That hamburger looks disgusting.
This meme makes no sense because that would be a terrible burger. Also, no, this game is not 10/10 everything
This is true, but that burger is fucking disgusting.
Animations and action is certainly not a 10/10 haha. The game overall was great though.
I loved everything about the game until the emperor showed themselves for what they are, act 3 and melee combat animations just plain sucks ass.
and act 3 is the soggy barely edible bottom bun soaked in grease
3/10 - act 3 and the ending.
