Every Baldur's Gate 3 moment at the Game Awards 

I love how back in 2015 the same thing happened with fallout 4 when it went up against witcher 3, Bethesda couldn't have released starfield at a worse time.

@@KratosisGod And if you think back, everyone was saying Larian anticipated release (rightly so) to avoid Starfield, everyone was scared it would eat BG3 away 😂

i never get tired of todd howard memes

@@gxrdian Well I'm very glad you don't XD

@@KratosisGod I don't know how much the timing could have helped. It just wasn't as good a game as it was hyped up to be

Imagine sitting through the entire thing, in armor. Swen basically lives inside that thing by now 😂

I was concerned if you had some life threatening disease or something then I read the last line again. Lol. I should probably go to sleep now.

@@SamS.7598 LOL, after re-reading it I can see how you though that, but yes, get some sleep ahaha

Imagine if goty wouldn't force the guy to wrap up his speech in 30 seconds, that was an absolute disgrace

@@homeostasis1103 Gotta show them ads!

Imagine how incredibly annoying must have been to sit 4 hours through that donning armor, not to mention the trip

+5 Charisma Armor 😉

@@kyuren2655I want one myself

"Come in a suit." They didn't specify what kind.

It really does, and that's why the majority of people ignored the bigger issues with the game, confidence in the devs

I'm honored to have been able to play their game I never heard of them before BG3 but I'm glad I did best game I played in the past 5 years at least for me personally

@@matthewtedeschi5646 I highly recommend you Divinity Original Sin 2, next ;)

@@Saretzyou had me in the first half im ngl 😂

Amen

Same!

Yeah same hear its more than just a game its almost like ive made freinds with the characters along the way haha such a good game

Same here. I've never been into open world RPGs or d&d but here I am months later and still obsessed

Show's over

Luck of the far realms + Divine smite III☠️

DAMAGE CRITIC!!

Let's hope it stays that way at least till the end of the year xD

@@Saretz Even if some last minute controversy shows up, i'm happy that BG3 will be remembered as the symbol of quality

@@Benisnaisu Amen

I mean I would have like to see armor core up their for something but yeah caldera gate did deserve all those wins

@@dragb9284I did not play Armored myself, but I was kinda hoping it'd in the action category

💯

Well said! I agree 💯💖😎

I *almost* included his whole speech as well, just because of that xD

Sadly it seems he got some flak for saying his previous 8 min speech was longer than Call of Dutys campaign

@@Kukakkau Truth hurts the wicked

@@Kukakkau that was a legendary moment, serves COD right for messing up the campaign this year. Really just a wake up call to Activision.

@@Kukakkau You can't be so based and not expect backlash in return. He knew what he was doing

🙏

That's not something I thought about, but interesting point there

Not a problem. Take 30 seconds, say the 3 things that matter the most: Thanks Fans Thanks Team Remember our team members we lost during the development. Nothing more needed to be said (and everybody noticed the armor)

@@Saretzthey started cutting off Sven during him mentioning a developer genuinely working on the game and passing away before release. They don’t like him talking, but they let Kojima on stage speak for 10 minutes straight about an upcoming project...and he ends up talking about pretty much nothing that entire speech It’s absurd

@@meemdic8682 Not going to lie, it felt overall soulless and rushed this year, at least to me (talking about the show not the people)

@@Saretz That it did

More and more people been calling them out on that, hopefully they'll learn for next year, cause this was terrible

@@Saretz Don't be so sure... (money money money...^^')

@@otterproof1 :(

Didn't know that 😔

Ayo what? That's my name too!

😮‍💨

And I love that. In those short snippets of time they said powerful things that will be remembered.

thats what happens when the guy who runs TGA is a kojima dicksucker

$$$$ moneh

Huge feat indeed

Well if you have kids with a french girl they will be Belgian so...

@@SamS.7598 I see no faults in your logic XD

Greetings from LarianLand ;-)

Yep, considering that less than a thousand people worked on this game (including all 250 actors and PitStop employees, who are external to Larian) and that it barely had any advertising compared to other AAA games, it's quite a feat.

Maybe one day 🥹

Saddest thing is we live in a rapidly evolving society with companies wanting to make profit out of it

@@MISTERMEISTERMONEY 😮‍💨

Beauty in small details

Well said!

It was actually hard competition, I had assumed GOTY, best RPG and best performance only, and yet

And yet, all of them are so well deserved!

Very happy for them myself

@@Saretz - Same here!

It was very moving 🥹

this... and when Sven walked to the stage gave me chills... i was crying of joy (even though im 38years old 2 meters tall man lol)

Right?

Maybe stop milking Skyrim in any platforms and release Elder Scroll VI, Todd. Even Rockstar finally going to release GTA VI after a decade.

@@margarethmichelina5146 My guess is 2025-2026 for ES6, which they'll go up against exactly GTA6, probably another year off the awards xD

I agree, Baldur's Gate 3 had to win, it needed to, the "losers" of the GOTY shouldn't be frowned upon, they were all objectively good games, this victory was about sending a message that, hopefully, will change the industry in a better direction.

Amen brother!!! Cheer's to Larian and to Neil humble approach and amazing journey for the well executed RPG adventure of my life!!! Congrats. Much love

@@russianstig2012 ❤️

💯💯 agree!!

Vote with your wallets, always, that's the only way to fix the industry

@@Saretz agreed... if you settle for half-finished games, then that's all you can expect from that point on.

@@Budini67 Exactly

@@Saretz I would love this to happen but sadly they don't aim at common sense folk like us, they aim at the fool with money or the kid with their parent's credit card.

*Bioware scarily staring at you from distance*

@Saretz I love mass effect and thought about it while playing bg3 with the romance and how good the characters side missions are.

@@shazza9678 Then pray for the new one to be decent unlike...well, you know

@@shazza9678 The old bioware is gone they haven't made a half decent game since 2014 that was 10 years ago they are in the same boat as Bethesda at this point.

@@shazza9678 Mass Effect is great but BG 3 is just timeless.

^^^^ THIS. Perfectly said, friend.

Honestly, there are infinite possibilities for new stories in the D&D universe, I'd be ok with whatever they made next, doesn't even need to be an old game revived (though I'd really love to see Neverwinter Nights 3 brought to life)

@@Saretz YES!! That would be amazing. 😍😁

@@Budini67 😉

Almost the entire game, they now patch it for free to be all the game... ACT3 was rushed in my opinion, the rest is perfect:)

😞

I think that was brilliant. Swen said everything that needed to be said in those 20 seconds and now everybody is talking about a brilliant man saying wise and impactful words while wearing armor. It's more impactful than an hour of platitudes and empty jokes.

This was the first year ever where I actually decided to vote myself

It did feel weird how both times (even on Neil's speech) they seemed to have no time to talk, I guess that's why then, ugh

That and Kojima’s nothing speech

Rightly so

Damn I didn't even notice, good call!

Dude swooped in like Dame Aylin

That's so cute! Good observation

Haven't played the other games in that list so it's a bit hard for me to make an estimate of that :v

I played both. Alan Wake takes that cake 100%

@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 That was my assumption too to be honest

@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 I also played both. Alan Wake 2 is great but how is it's direction more original than Baldur's gate 3? I'm interested in all opinion. :o

@@kea7119 Well saying original sure does lay it out. Although both are iterative of previous successes, Alan Wake 2 really is a Remedy game to its T. Vs Baldur's gate being Baldur's Gate. We could have arguably in one era seen BG3 coming from Obsidian or Bioware if they stayed in their peaks. Whereas no other team could do Remedy like this era of Remedy with many similarly received titles under their belt as Larian ranging from mid - superb with things they learned from and reiterated to create their own magnum opus. Baldur's Gate however encapsulates everything great about the TTRPG it's based on and more with the experiences and knowledge of the CRPG genre that Larian brings from its major successes with DOS I/II/II EE. Frankly it really was a toss up between the two, however the auteur feeling and presentation of Alan Wake 2 probably gave it the edge in a majority vote. Edit:I'll also give FFXVI and RE4R honorable mentions for very similar reasons. Great directors and teams who have gone through great creative processes and careers but whose products paled when next to something like BG3. Can't say much for Zelda I don't play them, even though I really should and everyone who knows me personally get very confused as they feel I would love them.

Don't get me started on that 😂

@@Saretz I have no hope for es6, it's clear the Bethesda that made morrowind and oblivion is gone.

@@KratosisGod My expectations are extremely low, but I ask myself, how bad can it get? Like.....they can't make it procedurally generated..right? It's an Elder Scrolls after all...what could go wrong.........

​@@Saretz...anybody else just get a chill? Lol.

​@@Saretz Its gonna be fallout 4 in a medieval setting mark my words😂

I sincerely hope so, and with the money they made, I expect even better from them in the future

From almost bankrupcy, to now

😁😁😁

I'm glad you managed to in the end! I was basically a zombie by the time it ended 💀

@@Saretz heh, I woke up and watched the end 😁

@@olgajunghanns early bird 👀👀

@@Saretz not really, it was 8:00 am 😴

@@olgajunghanns oh, I thought worse!

I know right?

My pleasure as always

It really felt off not going to lie, never heard anyone else being asked to hurry up previous years. I wonder if there's some big company puppeteering from behind the scenes. (totally not a conspiracy theory)

@@Saretz I just have to wonder why ask them to hurry up? So someone else can be painfully unfunny on stage for an extra 2 minutes?

@@nocturnalcove9736 Someone else mentioned they ran 3 fortnite ads back to back after that, I don't know if it's true as I stopped watching right away, but if so then yeah, $$$$ sponsors!

@@Saretzit’s probably that, geoff’s friends wanting to talk (like kojima) and also the previous year’s incident, when kratos’s voice actor was talking for like 8 minutes straight about every single friend and family member, their dog, etc

@@meemdic8682 Still meh though

It's hard isn't it

Let's hope it stays that way, I'm dreading (no pun intended) Dreadwolf's release

@@Saretz completely forgot about DA4, been waiting on that for so long

@@L33C333 Comes out by the end of next year, or in 2025, my guess. Full reveal is announced for next summer

​@@SaretzI'm dreading the influx of live service, low effort Baldur's Gate 3 clones full of micro transactions, loot boxes, and season passes because triple a only knows how to emulate and not innovate anymore.

@@solblackguy They existed before already, Inquisition, Andromeda, ME3, Bethesda games - they are just dormant...but they are there, lurking in the shadows

Yep. 💯

Imagine calling someone out for them doing their work ☠

Right? Like opening a window and finally filling your lungs with something that isn't stale and rancid

What accent would you give a cocky knight? French? 😂😂

@@1001Balance sure why not

I did the same as I knew what to expect, and I wasn't disappointed

Amen

Very glad it does 😊

All the prep work done

Speedrunning the awards, true gamers

Hard to win on that one, but I would have liked it too

Всегда пожалуйста! 😊 Я наиграл более 500 часов и до сих пор почти каждый раз нахожу что-то новое 👀

@@Saretz ну праздники скоро!) Надеюсь опробовать все классы! Планы Наполеоновские!!)))))

@@user-ip4fn5jq5u Вы отлично проведете время, я вам гарантирую 😁

One can dream

lol

Hehe 😁

Took me a moment to make the connection

...I mean XD

Technically even less, if you exclude the concert segment I added

@@Saretz OUTRAGEOUS

@@agirlnamedmichael1670 😞

Nat 20 game

Lmao

😊

♥

Agreed

Пожалуйста! У меня уже пять более 500 часов, и я все еще нахожу что-то новое почти каждый раз, когда играю, это безумие! Кстати, раз уж вы ее купили, я настоятельно рекомендую вам сыграть хотя бы в Divinity Original Sin 2, это отличная игра, и вы увидите, насколько сильно они изменились с тех пор и до сих пор. (извиняюсь за мой русский, отвечаю через переводчик, надеюсь, не так уж и плохо)

A few lights in the darkness

😞

❤️

See you in 10 years :(

twas a mess

​@@SaretzSaid, will you upload BAFTA Game Awards moments of BG3 too? It'd be a treat.

@@thangngudxop I've actually been considering it, probably will! Just been a bit busy since I recently started streaming as well

♥️

I'm not familiar with MYR but I'm glad you ended up not regretting the choice ;)

@@Saretz it's Malaysian ringgit actually!

@@eebee8052 Ohh I see I see, is it a good price over there? Here I think I got it for 50 euro (in early access)

@@Saretz MYR200 is like, 200 bucks. very pricey due to horrid currency value over here. i rarely purchase games, so getting BG3 was a treat for myself after going for years of not gaming, only merely watching playthroughs on youtube from the bench haha

@@eebee8052 Damn, that must suck then :( I'm now even happier for you that the game turned out great

Eh, I would have voted BG3 for music personally, but haven't heard the others on list, so can't really comment

Quite the upgrade xD

😄

He went crazy hard

You weren't into RPGs before?

​@@Saretz No, i was a more of FPS guy, fortnite, cod, battlefield etc...

@@ArthurHenrique-wb1ni I see, well, now you have an entire new world ahead of you, if you need recommendations ask away 😉

Hopefully it will bring to even better games in the future

@@Saretz THANKS for the video!

@@FlavioBelisario5822 you're most welcome!

❤

Same

Daar ben ik het mee eens!

😅

Right? 😂😂

That's so cute to picture

amen

I almost added it on top of Todd's face

*Handshake*

I would be too, especially if they gave me a 30 seconds timer for my speech :c

Let me add, luckily*

Well done

They don't sponsor the show! 🥲

yep..........

It's fun, but I was surprised of that as well, not because it's bad, but because of the various issues caused by bugs, really didn't expect it

Sure it has bugs, but a Game Style like this using CoOp makes the adventure much more fun and interesting, because you friends can play as an asshole and making more unique and remarkable.

@@ploed of course

😅
