Praise the bucket!

Game is terrible. Tried to play through with a friend. Never finished it. Totally not because we never had time to continue. Now gimme my $1000.

You know...I primarily decided to play this game because I decided to turn it into a staring contest challenge with its blink mechanics. But as the story went on, I stopped caring about my staring contest because I was just completely drawn in by the game's narrative.

My eyes aren't red because they're dry from trying to keep them open. They're red from tears.

...All I'm gonna say is do not form an opinion about this game until you've played the boss fight for Act 2.

I really, really love this game, but this game is fundamentally flawed.

While Larian has done an amazing job translating DND into an open world setting, it's also bought about unwanted strife in actual DND to many veterans of the tabletop game. Many new players are discovering DND because of Baldur's Gate 3, but that also means new DND players are expecting DND to be like Baldur's Gate 3.

As a player and DM coming from DND first before Baldur's Gate 3, there is a sort of misconception now from new DND players starting because of Baldur's Gate 3 that everything will be handed to them on a silver platter - but in reality, DND is supposed to be a fantasy tabletop game grounded in reality. A game where your actions have consequences, where there are no redos, where there are sometimes no perfect endings.

As a video game, Baldur's Gate 3 is absolutely fantastic. But as DND, Baldur's Gate 3 is, unfortunately flawed, and doesn't capture the essence of what, in my opinion, makes DND great.

A friend was impostor 4 games in a row.

On the 5th game, everyone voted him out before anyone died "just in case". He was not the impostor.

I ran out of ♥♥♥♥♥ to give.

Expecting a game like Fatal Bullet? Look elsewhere.

If you need another reason for why SAO is a terrible anime series, this game hits all those marks. I've always believed that despite SAO being such a terrible series, they at least had some pretty good games. But this was not one of those games.

Combat felt slow - button inputs felt delayed. Keyboard/mouse player? Have fun using your keyboard for camera controls instead of your mouse.

On paper, this looks like a great game, but in reality, it's pretty clunky.

It's TABS but with WW2 units. It's fun for a bit, but this game crashes way too much for my liking.
