SG 130 | BALDUR'S GATE 3 ¿GOTY SÍ O NO? + SQUARE tiene problemas & Noticias
Episode notes
The show opens with the outstanding reception of Baldur's Gate 3 and caution around reviews published after very little play time, while also discussing its prospects on console. In the news segment, the team criticizes the Red Dead Redemption port for its price and lack of meaningful improvements, reviews Barça's renewed agreement with Konami for eFootball, and discusses the announcements of Far Cry and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It also covers Alien arriving in Dead by Daylight, a Resident Evil Humble Bundle, the date for Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, and the shorter Xbox Game Pass trial.
Another segment focuses on Square's results and on a strategy the participants consider scattered, paying particular attention to Final Fantasy XVI and the saturation of similar proposals. The main debate analyzes Baldur's Gate 3 after around 66 hours: its scale, decisions, companions, character creation, Dungeons & Dragons-based combat, exploration, difficulty settings, co-op, and interactions with animals and corpses. The assessment is highly enthusiastic, although it is presented as provisional until the campaign is finished, and places it among the GOTY candidates for 2023.
