Baldur's Gate Three Game Review || Is It Worth Playing in 2024?

[@valmayorbruh]

What's your favorite class/build in the game so far?

[@stephengibbons4771]

Ranger 5/Rogue 4/Fighter 3 with two one handed crossbows. It's unstoppable.

[@valmayorbruh]

@@stephengibbons4771 I actually haven't gotten that much into multiclassing. Have only tried the Tavern Brawler Monk 8/Rogue 4 build and I've been loving it so far

[@stephengibbons4771]

@@valmayorbruh Multiclassing is a deep rabbit hole....but there are some really insanely powerful builds you can get by combining classes, monk 8/rogue 4 is a fun one for sure.

[@valmayorbruh]

@@stephengibbons4771 When I saw the Fighter 3 in your comment, I was thinking maybe I could squeeze that Fighter in there too so i could get the action surge and possibly do 12 unarmed strikes in a turn.

[@stephengibbons4771]

@@valmayorbruh Monk6/Fighter3/Rogue 3 is also a very strong combo, you get tons of attacks, although this combo limits you to only one feat.

[@AaronPlay]

Next I would like a video on whether Dune 2 is still worth watching in 2024.

[@OldSkoolStonedGamers]

TLDW: Yes, yes it is. Don't waste time on this vid. :)

[@valmayorbruh]

Thanks for the quick summary there

[@heathcomans7809]

@@valmayorbruhsomeone had to do it. you sure as fuck didn’t

[@jorgeruiz4410]

Given that it came out on 2023 and it was, as you said, a "critical success", how could it not be wort playing in 24? Good title bro

[@valmayorbruh]

Of course we know it's a great game. We played it lol. This one's for people who are still thinking about getting the game/didn't like it. Title's pointless if you already love the game. I just hope the others give it a chance after watching.

[@LXXVIIZONE]

I cant wait for this era of youtube titles to end...what asilly tactic

[@valmayorbruh]

Yeah I was going for just continuing the series I had going since there was some success with it recently. Will probably still continue with it, but will change the game in question. Loved being able to talk about this game though, and sharing it online.

[@sabinsx]

"is last year's GOTY worth playing 6 months after release?" 🙄

[@longdeath8843]

This is the type of video you do like 5+ years after release. Not 8 months 🤣

[@ionized_salmon6417]

to people who don't want to wait 20 minutes for an answer. it's yes, and even if this guy was to say no. the answer is still yes

[@WGasmss]

Who’s asking the “is it worth playing” question? This game is KING of games right now

[@Trelvis-w4p]

Actually enjoyed this still on my first playthrough and after seeing this it's making me want to start over cuz I missed so much

[@valmayorbruh]

You can play this game 4 times over and still find new stuff. I feel you.

[@DonovanGG__]

Now we’ll see which game will better stand the test of time between BG3 and Elden Ring.

[@valmayorbruh]

Both will definitely stay up there as part of the greats, and will probably stay there forever.

[@trurocker03]

Short answer. YES. It's SO FUCKIN' good omg I never played a Larrian game before and this is quite possibly my new favorite genre lmao the unparalleled amount of freedom are such a refreshing breath of air.

[@valmayorbruh]

Ohhhh if you loved this game, you might also want to give Divinity: Original Sin 2 a try!

[@trurocker03]

Thank you! Believe it or not, that's the game that was first recommended to me to try before I think about purchasing BG3. Days later, I found Divinity was on sale on Steam so I bought it, played for about 2-3 hours and realized that I in fact enjoy this style of gameplay and was soon looking into a copy of BG3. I definitely gotta go back to Divinity OS2 to actually complete it haha. BG3 definitely took over! @@valmayorbruh

[@SuperFizzah]

It just came out last August and it won GoTY along with several other rewards throughout multiple awards shows. What kind of a stupid question is this title and could you honestly not come up with anything better? Not trying to be mean but like... C'mon dude you're setting yourself up

[@valmayorbruh]

Just took it as an opportunity to talk about one my favorite games tbh. Also, not everyone likes the game so this could be what convinces them to give the game a try

[@Nerazmus]

Nice. They bought some awards. Who gives a shit?

[@chikin6146]

@@Nerazmus "Bought" lmao. Delusional.

[@HikingFeral]

I don't need to watch the video. I've been playing video games for 30 years and this is the best game I have ever played. I still play it every day.

[@valmayorbruh]

If that doesn't serve as a testament to how great the game is, I don't know what is. I imagine with the way mods are going, there's space for hundreds more hours of gameplay in this game's lifetime.

[@DonovanGG__]

Elden Ring is definitely better but yeah BG3 is amazing

[@valmayorbruh]

@@DonovanGG__ working on an Elden Ring video as of now actually! Love both games and I'm firm with my opinion that both games target different audiences, despite both being RPGs

[@sushi287]

Is this game that came out 6 months ago and redefined an entire genre still worth playing? Yes, why the fuck did we even need a video about this

[@tattoomaniacsalina]

But is it good for someone who didn't like Divinity Original Sin and has never played any D&D, but would like to? I like RPG generally, just not the Divinity games

[@valmayorbruh]

I'll have to know why you didn't like the Divinity games to answer that, but story-wise, they're very different. The combat is similar, but there are less dice rolls in the Divinity games. Playing through BG3 may feel like it's up to chance due to tons of dice rolls, but I personally never felt that way. If you really want to get into D&D, BG3 is probably the best video game to introduce you to it though.

[@Rose_A]

No, I wasted hundreds of hours just to end up with a buggy half-assed unfinished game I couldn't finish because of a save issue that's never been resolved.

[@valmayorbruh]

I've never experienced something like that in any of my playthroughs, but with the size of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. The game's really good though. You might want to give it another try in the near future.

[@Psyko7274]

tldr: yes time saved: 20min

[@WGasmss]

first play-through Act 1 took me 150 hours and I still missed stuff like ALOT Took me about 100 hours per act on my first playthrough I was looking and talking to everyone

[@valmayorbruh]

150 hours in Act 1?! Damn! You really like to sweep through as much as you can in one go huh? Just goes to show how immersed you can get while playing.

[@humptusdumptus4123]

There is no way man

[@KC-ke5ku]

i still cant pass by the ACT 1 after 50hrs in.. 😆😆 this game gave me "skill issue moment" (as someone who never really plays any D&D before lol)

[@valmayorbruh]

Take your time with it man. This game has a LOT of content. You'll find out that it's actually best that you took your time to search every nook and cranny.

[@PrinceZiim]

Yes, it most definitely is, if u like fantasy rpgs definitely give it a shot

[@valmayorbruh]

Best game of its genre as of now, and probably one of the better ways someone can get into the world of DnD

[@goblinbenjo4326]

Is it worth playing in 2024? It came out last year...

[@lumare]

this video only needed to be 5 seconds long because the answer is yes.

[@kjvmsc]

"After saying all that, you might think it's stupid to ask if the game is worth playing in 2024" Yes, everyone is thinking that and they'd be correct. These KZbin titles are for revisiting retro games, not a GotY that was released half a year ago.

[@valmayorbruh]

Despite the game winning GOTY, there's still a bunch of people out there who don't like the game, and if I could get a chance to talk about the game I love to play, plus maybe convince those people to give it a try, why not? I get what you mean though, hence the quoted statement you put up there that was on my video. Have a great day ahead!

[@kjvmsc]

@@valmayorbruh i mean, i get what you're saying as well, and i also understand that you're playing the KZbin game of using trendy titles - just saying that you're opening yourself up for catching flak with this one because it doesn't really make sense here. i think there's gotta be better ways you could've addressed the cons of BG3 without asking if the GotY that released in late 2023 was "worth playing in 2024" as if the year had anything to do with peoples' reservations, but here we are. have a great day as well

[@valmayorbruh]

@@kjvmsc I'll keep that in mind for the next videos my guy. Thanks for the constructive feedback. I just thought that since this "is the game worth it" series was doing kinda well recently, I'd just stick with it for now. Great to meet people like you along the way man. Keep safe out there.

[@kjvmsc]

@@valmayorbruhno worries my dude, keep up the grind

[@duke_n3d]

bruh, have you seen charts?

[@DonovanGG__]

Tbh the playercount took a nose dive in February

[@lmSheep]

Is it worth playing... IN 2024? Bro the game basically just came out. I started playing in early access and only JUST finished my 2nd playthrough. What is even the point of this video

[@jasongeyer2111]

I'm still playing games from the early 2000s.... so a game from 2023 😂

[@heathcomans7809]

bro made a 20 minute video for a 2 second answer “yes” 🙄

[@None-ss1zi]

question is should you waste your time on anything else henceforth

[@valmayorbruh]

pretty sure there's a bunch of other games out there to enjoy. Baldur's Gate 3 just sits as one of the tops on that list in my opinion.

[@WGasmss]

That’s the real question, I don’t think I can play any game after this one. 214 mods added and I’m rocking a solid honor playthrough as a custom necromancer class solo play where I kill everyone. I just can’t stop playing this game. Everything else looks and feels like dora the explorer compared to this

[@valmayorbruh]

@@WGasmss oh man I haven't even thought of modding the game yet. Think I saw a mod that adds to the level cap? Damn, I'd love to see content added that's meant for levels 12-20.

[@Lambofgod2316]

I started playing this game 2 weeks ago and i already hage 150 hours.... Yes this game is 100% worth playing in 2024

[@valmayorbruh]

150 hours in 2 weeks? Wow! Glad you've been enjoying it man.

[@Lambofgod2316]

@@valmayorbruh lmao I work, get home, and then play... It's sad

[@valmayorbruh]

@@Lambofgod2316 it's not sad if you're enjoying the game my dude. Now go out there and roll those nat 20s.

[@TwistedScarlett60]

Hey, just here to leave a dislike. Thanks!

[@Nerazmus]

It is decent. Nothing amazing tho. I'd still wait a few years for them to finish the game and debug it for real if you want to enjoy it properly. Becasue even now it's a mess, especially act 3, or especially when you choose to not play the intended path.

[@slaughterhaha212]

Naked bard op

[@valmayorbruh]

I haven't heard of this legendary naked bard build. Might have to do some research on that one soon.
