@Ick's comment on ':soymad: :soymad: :soymad: :soymad: :soymad: :soymad: :soymad:'

Also I'm getting really bussy-blasted and pissed about /r/baldursgate newstrags telling oldgaurd that the original games has always been shit, and that Larian has saved you backwards barbarians from yourselves :marseyimpossibru:

"Now that the smoke has cleared on Baldur's Gate 3, I think we can move from the honeymoon phase to the realistic conversation phase. I love bg3, I've loved it since early access, so I'm not an oldhead mad that times change. But I don't think BG3 should be called BG3, I don't think it's similar enough in spirit or mechanically to be a successor. A great cRPG, yeah, a fun dnd game, of course, but for a game that says it's the 3rd Baldur's Gate, it's not even the halfway close to resembling it. I find myself wishing that BG3 had been done by Owlcat because BG1 and 2 have more similarities to the Pathfinder games than BG3."

Basically my shit take and opinion :carpsoyjak:

frick this guy in particular :marseyraging:

"What you're saying is 20 years out of date. The lack of real-time-with-pause isn't enough to say it's not ‘Baldur's Gate.' The world has moved on from this outdated gameplay style. :smugtranstwitter: Then why the frick are you on this sub if you despise the system then :lemindblown:

"I love the original Bg games and I always will but sitting here complaining that it wasn't the old style seems like you just kinda wanna whine about it" that's not fricking true, there are such intense differences in gameplay, and RTP seems to be universally despised by turn-based chodes so there is merit to the complaints

pettiness and misattributing OP, love me some /r/baldursgate straggotry

>I'm not the one denigrating the other's preferred gameplay style, and making bold statements that it should cease to exist and because i find it antiquated by arbitrary standards, and then with self-satisfied :marseyselfsuck: tell the other to go smugly watch a movie instead. You ARE arrogant and petty

You are trying to pretend that RTwP CRPG players are some kind of oppressed minority being attacked by the Turn based CRPG players when RTwP is essentially the default when it comes to that genre. And in doing so you are accusing others of being sheep etc. Which is objectively arrogant and petty. You are also still choosing not to engage with any of my responses and I am starting to suspect it is because you simply don't have an argument against them lol

>"You wrote a response containing 6ish arguments to my short initial post"

Responding to this is like responding to "what car should we take?" with "I think we should steal the bmw" when asked "what car should we take to go to the city?"

The point of the argument "You wrote a response containing 6ish arguments to my short initial post, so I responded to each argument with one rebuttal each, if you are able to initially respond with 6 arguments to one argument you can surely respond with 1 argument to one argument 6 times too." is to prove that when you say "How on earth am i supposed to respond to such, to reply in a neverending spiral of how I am right, and you are wrong?" you are simply lying because you opened up 6 lines of debate to begin with so you must have the mental capacity to handle them. You claim to be unable to handle making 1 argument per when presented with 6 arguments, but you proved you were capable in the first place by making 6 arguments to my one argument to begin with.

>making bold statements that it should cease to exist and because i find it antiquated

You cannot quote me saying this because I didn't, I dare you to try.

>No you got that backwards, i am not saying turn-based dowsnt have the capacity for greater depth

So you understand my point then lol, Turn based has a much greater capacity for strategical depth so that is why I prefer it. That is not to say that RTwP has no depth at all, I am sure that for some people combining 2 abilities to make them work together is strategic depth, I simply prefer to have encounter design that allows for fulfilling fights with twists and turns, ups and downs, and a capacity for mid combat narrative storytelling and creative solutions to encounters.
