Just gonna hang back for that first big price drop.

[–] fan0m@kbin.social 28 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Honestly it's worth it at full price.

Agreed. This is one of those situations where I actually want to vote with my wallet if I can. They made a stellar game, it want them to make a shitload of money. That's the only way we're going to get another game of BG3 quality.

I pirated this game, and after about 4 hours I bought it at full price for that exact reason.

It's worth it full price. On GOG. Play it with a 4 player party on one copy. Then buy more copies once there is a sale / once you want to support the devs.

[–] Fish@midwest.social 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why do you need so many copies?

[–] Dunstabzugshaubitze@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago

multi-player. BG3 allows you to play the entire game with up to 4 people.

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Definitely BG3 earns the rare title of 'a complete game' and presents a great experience.

[–] ampersandrew@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not that rare. You just have to expand your horizons beyond the AAA games with the most marketing.

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That's a fair counter. Indie games definitely hit above their weight class more often. But for a project of this scale it's refreshing.

[–] SandLight@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Probably, but that's a lot of money that I don't really have to spend.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This really is one of those games that’s worth it at full price. Save waiting on a sale for the half-finished games that shouldn’t be priced as high as they are.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I mean, I'm sure it is. It sounds like people like it.

But bruh. I'm just getting through Witcher three in my back catalogue.

Like it can wait in the steam store for me to play it instead of waiting in my steam library for me to play it
