Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans roast player who says turn-based combat makes game \u201cboring\u201d Larian StudiosThe Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community blasted someone for calling the game\u2019s turn-based combat mechanics \u201cboring.\u201d Akin to Larian Studios\u2019 last title, Divinity: Original Sin II, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 features turn-based mechanics. Instead of real-time combat like The Witcher games, turn-based battles pause the action, giving each opponent a chance to perform offensive and defensive tactics. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s meteoric success suggests many people are fond of this style of gameplay. However, it\u2019s safe to say that some prospective players were turned away by the combat style. While everyone has their own opinions, Baldur\u2019s Gate fans couldn\u2019t abide one person, in particular, who called turn-based games \u201cboring.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players blast unpopular hot take about the combat Twitter users Synth Potato recently came under fire for suggesting that Larian should add a real-time combat option to BG3. They even went so far as to say they\u2019d pay for such a feature in a hopeful DLC release. Synth Potato wrote in part, \u201cA huge amount of players, including myself, who want to get into the game cannot due to [its] turn-based [combat].\u201d Lots of commenters in the thread called the hot take a \u201cbad idea.\u201d Many argued that either players \u201cmeet [Baldur\u2019s Gate 3] where it\u2019s at,\u201d or play something else. Others agreed with the original poster, though, saying they also walked away from Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 because of the turn-based combat. What especially landed Synth Potato in hot water is their reason for not liking the title\u2019s mechanics. When asked why they can\u2019t get into turn-based games, the Twitter user responded, \u201cthey\u2019re boring.\u201d It didn\u2019t take long for the gloves to come off. \u201cNah bro you\u2019re just boring,\u201d came one reply. Someone else wrote, \u201cThat\u2019s such an absurd take to me. He also doesn\u2019t like reading books because the words aren\u2019t SHOUTED AT HIM.\u201d Another person went after the poster\u2019s affiliation with Red Dead Redemption content. \u201cRed Dead Redemption pfp saying games are boring is crazy.\u201d The Rockstar Nation account replied as well, \u201cBro, this is the same take RDR2 haters have on its gameplay.\u201d The way discourse in gaming works, this is one Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 discussion that\u2019s likely to crop up several more times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
