If your band new, don't worry it's supposed to feel like you need a masters degree in tactics & strategies 🤣 *Although once you get past the character creator & actually start playing, it's surprising how fast it all makes sense*
@@The0nlyy Elden Ring is more lenient towards casual players though. It's the easiest Fromsoft game if you use all the tools at your disposal. So, in a way, it's made for noobs. That doesn't mean it isn't a 10/10 tho, as it can easily become the hardest Fromsoft game if you avoid using Sprit Ashes.
I'd say the combat really isn't as complicated as people are making it out to be. It can be a little overwhelming to start with but you pick it up fairly quickly. Just read out all your character abilities and start thinking of ways to use them in tandem. For example I'll have a wizard use a sleep spell and then a rogue do a stealth melee attack to guarantee a kill. Only takes a couple hours to get a decent grasp of.
@@richarddutton1981 i've never played this type of game before either but i've noticed attacks miss basically all the time when you're up super close. if you wanna do melee, do it from a distance. but if you're doing a ranged attack you can't be too far either because those also seem to miss a lot of the time
Never play DnD or any game like this, jumping in blind, don't understand most of it, only using basic attack and abusing environment is really fun, just killed most goblin leader by shoving them to the pit.
im on my 20th hour on this game on balanced difficulty. The story gets you in actually. The combat is a mixed bag and you really got to spend time each round to think about your move. Yall just need to know the basics and the rest u just learn along the way (its even Okay not to learn the complicated parts.. just know that theres a dice roll to determine combat outcomes.. just wing it). Its not for everyone
Now make one similar video for Xbox/PS5 controller players? The interface/experience is so different lol...my mouse died and im having a hard time adjusting
@@kayvonpaymard556tbh its very difficult, there's not much of a tutorial they just kinda throw you in the middle of a battle and expect you to know how to strategize your way out with your current build before you've even gotten used to the mechanics
See so many people disappointed by the combat, the answer is the combat isn’t for everyone they did the combat just fine. many others including myself actually enjoyed the combat it’s a lot different then most other games so don’t worry about the combat get the game try it yourself if you don’t like it and it’s not for you refund it
An enemies reaction is based off what you (the player does), different spells or actions have reactions. An opportunity attack is a reaction if the opponent moves away from you without disengaging.
Limited amounts of free HP recovery. Most forms of healing end up costing something. Potions are in limited supply, spells use up slots that need to be replenished by taking time resting, that sort of thing. "free" healing is rare.
Lol everyone saying the combat is boring must have the attention span of a ferret on energy drink. The mechanics are deep and challenging especially if you play on hard and enemies use powerful abilities you have to think about the best way to counter.
I'll be honest, because I'm a noob the jargon you're using is hard to understand. Just a bunch of words that don't make sense to me. The video would be better if you actually showed more of what you're talking about and what is what. This video is not for noobs.
@@DevinPosey20 the game comes out on PS5 September 6th, September 2nd for people who pre order the digital deluxe version, you can preload it august 31st. Sorry to disappoint man.
Man this combat looks so unbelievably boring lmao never been a fan of quick time events where you press a button and the fun part of combat plays itself.
Only reason baldurs gate won game of the year is because the entire planet was so jaded by how bad starfield was that they had to ensure that starfield could NEVER be in the conversation for any award at all
What a shitty combat mode, they literally had one job, and that is to upgrade gameplay from Neverwinter nights, not to make it a turn based combat system where you fall asleep
Unlike neverwinter nights, BG3 actually follows DnD's ruleset, which is turn based. Sorry, but BG1/2, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewindale were the games that screwed up their combat system by throwing DnD's player handbook out the window to make their own crap. Also, WoTC came to Larian, requesting the game be made due to the success of their recent turn based games, seeing that they're the only studio actually capable of making an accurate DnD game.
after watching this im even more confused. great job.
Agreed he’s talking but nun of it makes any sense
1. High Ground
2. Grease
3. Fireball
4. Profit
1. Cover enemies in grease
2. Problem?
Ah yes, the obi wan treatment
the amount if videos ive watched and still don't understand how combat works and why I'm missing all my attacks is actually kind of funny.
😂 😂
Oh gosh, I'm new to this kind of combat gameplay and I'm so overwhelmed

Extremely bad video. New to BG3, D&D & CRPGs. So, this video is meant to help players like me?? Well, let’s just say it failed and failed hard…

Comment of the year
To endear the game towards noobs(myself) an option needs to be simple then become complex as the game goes on, not be complicated straight away.
It’s not a game made for noobs, neither is Path of Exile or Elden Ring and they’re all 10/10 games.
everything looks overwhelming but trust me you can learn this with patience
I'm sorry bro, but if you're a noob, deciding to play a DnD simulation game is probably not the best way to start playing RPGs.
@@The0nlyy Elden Ring is hard but understanding the game is simple. You just dodge and attack.
@@The0nlyy Elden Ring is more lenient towards casual players though. It's the easiest Fromsoft game if you use all the tools at your disposal. So, in a way, it's made for noobs. That doesn't mean it isn't a 10/10 tho, as it can easily become the hardest Fromsoft game if you avoid using Sprit Ashes.
Never played an RPG before, nor D&D, but I'm having the time of my life playing this game.
Go play Divinity 2 when you get the chance, literally the game that put Larian on the spot.
That is quite the leap!
@@nilocblue thank you, that's exactly the biggest achievement of this game

@@peruperu-jj8zsyour friend is hilarious
If combat is too hard, pick high charisma characters to talk your way out of it. Also, put the fame on easy mode. 😊
wtf is the point then
@@reginaldbingletonTo enjoy the story
@@kingdarious9244 go watch a movie then
@@reginaldbingleton😮💨
@@reginaldbingletonIt's an Adventure game, DND isn't all fighting and stuff, it's about how well you can play the world on your own

I've always wanted to kill a goblin! Not in any game, but real life. Unfortunately, none exist
Game looks great but combat is not for me.
Fr my ADHD can't stand it
Ye I’m a fan of real time combat…. Honestly if the combat was more on par with Dragon Age Origins then it would be better.
Goty robbed from Alan wake
Combat is the one thing that keeps me from buying this game.
Same... :(
Me too, unfortunately!! :(
Really don’t understand how it won game of the year. Convinced it’s rigged.
It’s pretty amazing but also insanely brutal.
@@PopeDope69-420 Brutal in the sense of gory or difficult?
IGN will keep posting more BG3 videos but no review for over a week. Who is the poor souls trying to finish the game and write that review lol?
Would be interesting if they released Act reviews
368 people finished the game in the first weekend :o
You think IGN finish games to write reviews?
Not only do they have to finish the game. But they have to replay it multiple times to verify the different endings. Lol
true* soul.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one having trouble with the combat. It wouldn't be as bad if my attacks and spell didn't miss so often.
Can't believe this won game of the year lmao
I’m playing it rn. It’s the most mixed bag I’ve ever put my hand in…
What would you have picked
@@DanielMatthew89majority rules dumbass you’re opinion doesn’t matter

Now make one similar video for Xbox/PS5 controller players? The interface/experience is so different lol...my mouse died and im having a hard time adjusting
It’s the same thing. Just formatee differently
this video was just as confusing as the combat
Thanks for the video! This clearly explains why turn-based rpg’s are never going to be more fun to PLAY as action rpg’s 😂
honestly an action RPG feels like a mayonnaise without eggs, doesn't make sense
The limited amounts of free HP recovery can steiffle your progress if you long rest too often... What does that mean?
its a riddle
Does anyone know if bg 3 is more beginner friendly than Pathfinder wrath of
@@kayvonpaymard556tbh its very difficult, there's not much of a tutorial they just kinda throw you in the middle of a battle and expect you to know how to strategize your way out with your current build before you've even gotten used to the mechanics

This is the reason why i'm not going to play this game.
The whole universe and characters look amazing!
But this combat system is just not for me.

Thanks. I’ve been wondering what the C stands for
1. Pick Gale
2. Fireball
3. Fireball
4. ???
5. Profit
Wait, so is every enemies reaction a opportunity attack? Or can different enemies do different ones
An enemies reaction is based off what you (the player does), different spells or actions have reactions. An opportunity attack is a reaction if the opponent moves away from you without disengaging.
can someone explain: “limited amounts of free up recovery can stifle your progress if your long resting too often”. What does that mean?..

Coming from Divinity 2, spell casting being locked by each day seems inconvinient. Hopefully there are more cantrips.
You guys think bg3 will have a Xmas sale for consoles just wanna know cuz im broke 😂 buying game today can’t wait 😜
Combat seems to take too long
Was this narration recorded by an A.I?
Everything about the game looks cool excpept the combat. If it had norma combat it would be a better game

How is this game of th year lol
aint no way people find this game amusing
The combat is so silly and extra. The worst part of the game for sure. And should have been the most important part.

How did a turn based RPG win GOTY? Just don’t get it.
Amazing world, stories and characters.
Way too many menus and nonsense for my liking.
This looks complicated
So we playing dnd
don't you say???
turn based or turd based?
Turd based. Imagine the smell of the neckbeard gaming chairs right now after their long gaming sessions playing this game.
Based on your mom 👍
This game is not for me.
How much... to throw a punch. 😢
