Sadly I'm one of those people who doesn't enjoy turn based combat, so I always preferred elder scrolls, warts and all.
Balder's Gate 3 is so much more than combats
Sure but there's combat in it, and I can't deal with turn based at all
For me turn based is great because you can chill and think about your next move. You don't have to rely on instinct. I love me some soulslike but sometimes just chilling is great.
So you have turn based allergies? Have you noticed that all those so called non turn based games have things like cool downs and reloads which are just turn based in disguise? Actually real life also takes turns which we call "days" to lie to the turn based haters. They never knew we were all in a turn based game from the beginning.
The guy doesn't like turn based games, just let him dislike it. People have preferences.
I am! I just want to help him to hate more games and life
... Is this a copypasta? It feels like it should be one.
Those are categorically not turn-based lol
What a weird reply and dedication to turn based. But no, I despise it, final Fantasy made me hate turn based and not a single turn based game has been able to undo that hate.
Have you been able to try it? If a friend has a copy, or if you can rent/buy it and then return it, I would try it if you can.
I used to also be very against playing anything turn-based. I thought it was odd and unrealistic. In older games, that was definitely the case at times.
This game though, it draws you right in. You can be very creative with how you fight your enemies, and there is nearly always something new to discover. In my opinion, this game's turn-based mode is more of a strategy game than it is a click and fight. I kind of love that about it.
I initially started playing on my girlfriend's insistence, but sometimes I find it very difficult to put down.
I hope this doesn't come off as pressuring you to play. I'm still kind of shocked I like a turn-based game now, to be honest. I thought that I would always dislike them.
Do you have an exemple of a turn-based game that lacks strategy? The closest that I can think of are the JRPGs, but even them have a bit of strategy IMHO. All turn-based games are strategy games in my opinion.
Love people down voting you for having an opinion. Some people don't like turn based, that's that. I enjoyed BG3 but I just can't bring myself to start another game, maybe in a couple months or a year. Trying to get through the main storyline in starfield so I can move on to some of the new games coming out, but I keep getting sidetracked.
I played DOS:2 so knew exactly how combat in bg3 would be. Just has a coat of d&d paint is all.
