Game to Discuss?
To honor its success at the Game Awards for many called the best game not just of 2023 but of all time, Baldur's Gate 3 must now go up against the most final and persistent judges of all - rdrama elitists. There's @PrincessTeegra's review of the game here which also includes a discussion with DLMO, then there's
@birdenthusiast's enthuastic posts about the game here, here and here. Then there's
@XD claiming BG3 is superior to its predecessors here and
@Patriarch rates the game here and finally there's
@SantaSix reviewing the game here. Did I miss anything?
This week's entry will be Baldur's Gate 3
An ancient evil has returned to Baldur's Gate, intent on devouring it from the inside out. The fate of Faerun lies in your hands. Alone, you may resist. But together, you can overcome.

Dishonored 2, 9 hours playtime now and I don't actually enjoy the game. It's fascinating just how thoroughly Arkane messed up the sequel of the greatest games of the 2010s. Everything about it from the level design to the story to way we explore what's happening in the world comes off as people without any talent trying to replicate something great without understanding it.

God, I fricking loved Dishonored 1 and lack the words to truly express how disappointed I am with the direction they took for 2. I think the biggest thing for me was that Corvo's story was nicely wrapped up in 1, they'd left plenty of little plot hooks and jumping off points for new characters, and instead went back to Corvo and made the ending of the first meaningless.

I've tried playing through it twice and stopped halfway through each time, just felt like a slog. Shame cause I loved the first game.

I've gotten to the second to last mission and considering giving up as well. Constant bullshit about how cool Delilah is, how smart Delilah is, how powerful Delilah is, every fricking line is desperately trying to talk up this b-word whose most impressive feat as far as I remember was convincing one of Daud's gas masks to tell the Overseers his location and bitching at him from on top of a building when that plan falls through. None of these info-dumps are necessary, none of her power is ever actually demonstrated to the player beyond turning someone into a statue, it's all just told to us and we're supposed to just accept it as true.
Final straw for me was The Outsider with his shitty new flailing model, awful new voice, and hollowed out characterization dedicating a full 5 minutes to monologue about how he was just some random dude who got sacrificed 4000 years ago and, by the way, Delilah is super resourceful and very smart.
Comparison between the old and the new, this shit really got under my skin.
