Voted Starfield mostly just because it's so far behind. Both games have very good points and very bad points. BG3 was probably a better experience overall but it's so full of fake reactivity and overly-long dialogue that I don't think I'm gonna replay it much, whereas Starfield might be worth another go in a few months.

When the sheen wears off BG3, you realise you're basically playing something akin to another Dragon Age game, only with infinitely better combat. When the sheen wears off Starfield (if there ever was a sheen), you realise you're playing a very standard Bethesda game with some bad design decisions. Neither of those is a terrible thing to be playing, but both of them don't come anywhere near reaching the potential they could have. Except maybe Act 1 of BG3 which is absurdly good.

Yes. I'd rather the whole industry go bankrupt and we have the video game equivalent of folk art festival pieces tossed together on a 2000$ budget then whatever the fuck this banal, AAA degeneracy and demoralization propaganda is.

Another Steam game that's in a similar vein is "'Member the Alamo?"

I have more fun doing Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction integrals than buying and playing Starfield, BG 3 or Diablo 4. All the videos I watched so far, give me awful impressions.

I thought you said you weren't going to post here about BG3 anymore. Actually, you basically swore before God that you never would again.

You BEGGED DarkUnderlord to let you back in and swore a blood oath that if you ever even mentioned the word Baldur again that you'd instantly shoot yourself in the face with a double-barreled shotgun.

Given that, are you certain you want to leave that video here?

Pls don't remind me Dungeon Lords
I will keep reminding you that we could have had Dungeon Lords 2 if gamers weren't graphics whoring casual cattle. You can still redeem yourself by playing a game where there are no gender fluid gay druids, no ESG shit, sex selection is like selecting a different species with not just stat differences but also exclusive class paths, and more importantly a game that kept the RPG and dungeon crawling parts in an ARPG with a meaningful hand crafted open world. There is still time to go back and play the game that inspired inferior clones like Demon's Souls and re-evaluate it.

Yeah go run along and snitch on me. Get me in trouble again. I know that's what you're going to do. But to answer your question, this thread is retarded. Degeneracy put aside, the two games are nothing alike. One is a FPS (a bad one) masquerading as a RPG, and the other is technically a real RPG dragged down by the worst perversions imaginable. Both are obnoxiously woke.

It's just as retarded as any thread I've ever made. If you just looked at the title and not the TC you would guess the TC was me drunk off my ass, so I felt it was appropriate to throw in my two cents. Also I have no reason to believe DU will ever let me out of the basement. He never gives me ideas or realistic goals I can pursue to improve my behavior. It's always shit that I will inevitably fail at, like Star Stable or UT death matches. I need actual guidance. I can't figure out how to work a computer and I would rather kill myself than play a horse MMO.

Also I'm not taking back anything I said in that video. Diablo IV>>>>>>>>BG3 & Starfield. My mom has waited anxiously for years for Starfield. It was her most hyped game ever, and after playing it for a few hours she fucking despises it. I take that personally, Todd.

this 100% and why I didn't vote

gay apple vs trans orange

also it's too early to judge Starfield, we'll have to wait for DLCs/updates and see where mods will take this, already SF has more mods than BG3

This is why I make these threads (well aside from being in horror about modern gaming): so that SDG and Crispy can beef like in the old days, as God intended.
