It's hilarious how people are acting like all of the game's flaws will be patched away in a matter of months.
The animations has been improved a lot and they use some lip sync tech that makes the praised GOTY awarded BG3 I’m playing right now look bad. I don’t think it’s fair to say they’re behind. And the combat is better than ever from the studio, don’t say much I guess but personally I think the combat in particular is one of the highlights of this game.
This isn't going to magically make those steams reviews go up for how wrong this is.

Bugs? Sure, but there are less than expected, I was there at the Skyrim launch when mammoths were falling from the sky.
Modelling? Boring NPCs is a design problem more than modelling, there are good looking ones too, and the creatures and props and general scenery look great.
You could tell dude is mad lmaoDon't go there with the condescending snark.

I haven’t played it on consoles but it certainly don’t look better in pics than in motion on PC. Everything moves with the wind and the lighting engine is great, it’s difficult to capture the beauty of it all.

I love how you can see the clashing art styles between assets and very dated parallax landscapes even on those cherry picked screenshots.The animations has been improved a lot and they use some lip sync tech that makes the praised GOTY awarded BG3 I’m playing right now look bad.

It's almost painfully alright.
The problem with that is Bethesda is the team that never allowed New Vegas to finish developing lmao.
Nah, but it is one of the most 6.5/10 games I've played in a long time. It doesn't really do any one thing well and the many things it does are pretty ok at best. Everything that has taken a step up from Skyrim/Fallout4 still lags behind what the competition is doing.
Add to this people who somehow managed to find ways to shit talk far better games in order to make this game look better.
As clunky as some find RDR2, which was done on purpose for gameplay design with what they were aiming for being a cowboy simulator in most ways (slow and laid back), the characters/npcs and how they reacted to said terrain was far more realistic and believable. Hell, the storyline and characters were far more engaging and one of the best written in gaming. Arthur Morgan is one of the best protags ever. Especially the duality of him and the world between honorable or outlaw.
Lol. You're joking right? -- You're comparing it to Baldur's Gate 3, where the interactions are acted out and mo-capped.
What do you mean by parallax landscapes? Anyhow it’s not cherry picked photo mode magic, I just use photo mode for the perspective and zoom. The game looks great.
No there are missing frames or something and bad sync in BG3, maybe it’s just fps drops during talks but I don’t think that’s it since I have a 4090, idk what’s the deal I just notice it being a bit off. Go look yourself.
I can't take what you're saying here as good faith commentary. This has to be a bit.
And bringing up RDR2 which till this day has better mocap than most games. Almost ND level.
Talking about the auto lip sync tech not the acting and I haven’t seen Astarion yet so no idea if those conversations are of higher quality than less important early game characters. I’m still on the first map. I would record a 60fps video and post what I mean if my computer room wasn’t occupied over Christmas.
You meet Astarion right outside the nautulus after the tutorial area! Suddenly I can see how you made your 'comparison' - but the point is that it is not just his animations, but all of those in the game that are real people. Yes, every interaction with every person in the game is acted out with mocap alongside the voice acting. When you play Baldur's Gate 3, it will be apparent.
Wow how about not accusing people of lying for a bit? I haven’t met him, playtime counter says 23 hours, stepped into the next map after the dragon rider githyanki and the demon thing that shadowheart push away with the artefact, met withers and the demon that talk in a dining room. Reloaded because Halsin died and went into the goblin camp instead. Companions, Shadowheart, Wyll, Karlach. Now you know where I am.
Typical IGN overscoring a game by 1-2 points
Ass of Can Whooping putting in that review bombing work!
What are you getting at? Nobody ever said a Bethesda game was never going to sell on Steam. How it would be reviewed and received based on info we know now through those who bought and played it, is the point of this original thread backfire.
Clearly, the user reviews reflect that.
Refunding a RPG is difficult. In less than 2 hours, which is required for refund, you will have created a character, walk slowly in a mining outpost, doing the tutorial and mined a few rocks, had one small fire fight, possibly tried flying the first space ship, if you’re a speed runner might’ve entered the first enemy base too, likely still level 1.
