Larian’s Swen Vincke posted a tweet yesterday showing the game hitting 500,000 concurrent players, making it the third most played game on all of Steam He said that he told IT to only expect 100,000 concurrents at max.
Good to hear. I always new the lie the AAA publishers push that no one wants single player rpgs anymore, but numbers like this prove it out. No AAA we aren’t skipping your games because we don’t want the stories m, we are just tired of spending $70 only to discover it is full of micro transactions, always online issues, and all the other AAA predatory tactics!
AND, didn't actually wrapping up the story, for sequel sake.
BG3 is so huge even if it's only the beginning arc(Larian tends to taper off at the end, lol), I had to "replay" some decision making and see how outcome and the exp net gain and to decide how I proceed.(yep I save scum, don't hate me I have limited time and want to explore content and choices to my desire outcome. Then my other play through I can be more free form, and I bet there are something I haven't seen yet from this good guy talk things out approach.)
Wait, acts? Are there literally like title screens like "Act 2 - The bad thing happens" or do you just call it act three in a storytelling structure kind of thing? Because I played like 15 hours this weekend and only barely made it to the underdark for the first time (no idea how far into the game that is). Howlongtobeat said the main story takes like 24 hours so I figured I'm a good way through the game already.
