Haven't played either of the DOS games. Well, I hope it will be well playable, comfortable and immersive.Have you played any of the D:OS games with a controller? I'm assuming it's the same.
Considering they released on consoles I'll assume the left stick controls your character directly, unlike mouse point & click, add the zoomed in camera and you get a pseudo 3rd person experience like they are showing on the Deck gif.
My sister got me a 8BitDo Ultimate controller, feels pretty good!
Yup, it's that one!one of the best pads out there, especially the BT version, since it has hall sticks out of the box
What does that mean exactly?
Is there no direct-via-analog-stick character control?
From the gif it looks like there is.
...it's kind of amazing that day before release I still have no 100% confirmation on how the game plays, if it allows direct character control from third person. And I even asked two Larian devs about it.
I would be surprised if there was direct control because the second you get into battles everything is turn based and your movement would require clicks.I wanted to check again, but I'm out of town and only have my steam deck here and the controls are weird on it
But as I remember it was indeed click-to-move instead of direct control
I'll check once it's fully released
Just got home. Readying myself for BG3 tommorrow.
I'm planning to buy BG3 as well somewhere later this year. The length of the game is holding me back, there are so many games in my backlog that I want to play soon!
A good video covering how Richard Garriott destroyed his reputation and squandered millions of dollars from his fans.
Yeah, I actually backed Shroud of the Avatar, and then cancelled my pledge before the campaign ended. One of my earliest gaming memories is watching my older brother play Ultima 3, and it was a series I was obsessed with growing up(especially Ultima 6, 7, 7.5, but also UO for a year or so), so I really hoped it was going to be good.Can't watch the video right now but I checked this one out back in the day and it raised a lot of alarms from the beginning. I've backed quite a few projects (Pillars, D:OS2, Torment, Shadowrun, Wasteland 2...) and the only time I consider I floundered one was when I CANCELLED my Divinity: Original Sin one because I feared the company was about to go under. I also cancelled one for Project Phoenix because it smelled funny and turn out I was right a good thing to do.
This one just didn't inspire trust. No real plan at all.

Project Phoenix did get me though... Fuckers. lol
I've backed about that many as well, and 5 have failed for various reasons (2 vanished without a trace). One has not delivered anything in 8+ years but continues to put out entertaining updates so I'll forgive him.I think I backed Shroud of the Avatar, but I avoided Phoenix point.
Still, I think of a total of around 30 games I backed just 3 failed to deliver (or at least be in the process of delivering), so in my opinion the whole Kickstarter phase was still a massive boon for gaming overall. CRPGs more than anything else of course.

Can't wait
I don't know if you have a direct line to the editor for making any corrections or if anyone would even consider it super important, but they transcribed Xseed Games as Exit Games in the Little King Story spot.If you have a lot of time you can read this: DSFixing Dark Souls | ROMchip
It's the opposite of short-form journalism![]()

Anyways back to reading.
There were also a few backhands there, when Durante was talking about graphics backends. I imagine they used some kind of speech to text software and a few oddities slipped through.Lol I read the entire article and was wondering the whole time who were these Exit Games guys
Also they explain API as "application processing"
Baldurs Gate 3 peak will be 817,517 by weekend
Metacritic will be a 94
