I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I hit the level cap in BG3, and I think that's my sign to start completing the main quest. There are some side quests that are still incomplete, but I think I'd be more interested in them if I was using other party members more regularly.Simple Torture wrote:I had heard from some corners that Baldur's Gate 3 slows down a bit in the 3rd act, or that by the third act some of the mechanics start to feel old and a bit tired. I'm sort of feeling that now--Act 1 was just so fresh and new and there was so much to learn that I was pumping hours per day into it, and Act II was very challenging but had some thrilling moments that were very satisfying to conquer. Act III also feels different, which is great, I'm glad all three acts aren't same-y, but I don't feel as engaged or eager to play as I did earlier in the game. I may have played 2 hours over the past 2 weeks. Hoping to sink some more time in soon.
BG 3 was fantastic. I played through it a couple times with variation on decisions to get a different experience each time. Gave me real good Mass Effect vibes.Simple Torture wrote:Finished Bulgar’s Gate 3 today, such a great game overall. So incredibly deep that there’s lots I didn’t do, and if I played again, I feel like I’d try to do a whole different story. The criticisms I heard about Act III are certainly fair, though.
MLB the Show on Tuesday! Then I’ll play another game in 6 months.

Is this like some kind of Model UN game?Monkey_Driven wrote:The new Price of Persia. I'm very early but had to support the Switch release since it appears they actually tried on that version.
Yeah, cool concept that doesn't overstay its welcome. Good game!CopperTom wrote:I just finished up Superhot. What a delightful and unique experience. It felt like Portal's distant cousin. I just learned there is a sequel too. I'll play that as well. Definitely worth trying out when it's on sale - currently $7.49.
