1
00:00:10,541 --> 00:00:12,844
- From the developer known
for a bunch of games

2
00:00:12,844 --> 00:00:15,231
that are almost Dungeons and Dragons

3
00:00:15,231 --> 00:00:17,915
comes the second great take
on D&D this year

4
00:00:17,915 --> 00:00:21,419
and the most accurate D&D
video game to date

5
00:00:21,419 --> 00:00:23,905
because the main characters
are a bunch of horny losers

6
00:00:23,905 --> 00:00:26,026
that can't seem to do anything right.

7
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,776
Baldur's Gate 3.

8
00:00:27,776 --> 00:00:31,795
Experience the buggiest open-world
game on the market

9
00:00:31,795 --> 00:00:34,548
until two weeks from now,
when Starfield comes out

10
00:00:34,548 --> 00:00:37,803
as you journey once more
into the world of Faerun,

11
00:00:37,803 --> 00:00:42,424
a magical land of fantasy,
where everyone wants to [bleep] you,

12
00:00:42,424 --> 00:00:46,911
including all the perverts in your party,
the sexy wildlife --

13
00:00:46,911 --> 00:00:49,448
but mostly your own dice.

14
00:00:49,448 --> 00:00:51,216
Other than that though,
Faerun isn't too different

15
00:00:51,216 --> 00:00:53,101
from the real world
because everyone needs

16
00:00:53,101 --> 00:00:56,237
a long rest and has
a serious case of brain worms.

17
00:00:56,237 --> 00:01:00,359
Search the land for a way to get rid
of the worst hitchhiker of all time,

18
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,045
a wriggling mind flayer tadpole
that got plopped into your peeper,

19
00:01:04,045 --> 00:01:06,631
which you have to fight
against the influence of

20
00:01:06,631 --> 00:01:09,116
while trying to figure out
how to remove it

21
00:01:09,116 --> 00:01:10,869
from your brain without dying

22
00:01:10,869 --> 00:01:13,572
as your quest to pluck it out
has you trying everything

23
00:01:13,572 --> 00:01:18,327
from homeopathic druid medicine,
to Githyanki torture chambers,

24
00:01:18,327 --> 00:01:21,112
to just picking up a drifter
and letting him go to town

25
00:01:21,112 --> 00:01:22,915
on your face with an icepick.

26
00:01:22,915 --> 00:01:26,519
Why can I not summon health insurance?!

27
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,037
[Inaudible] your way through
every fantasy ride you start

28
00:01:30,037 --> 00:01:32,941
with a robust character creation system

29
00:01:32,941 --> 00:01:36,094
that, like D&D itself,
lets you create whatever

30
00:01:36,094 --> 00:01:38,331
freak of nature your brain can conjure --

31
00:01:38,331 --> 00:01:41,599
so long as it has 
one of six genitalia options.

32
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:45,703
Then decide whether to be a brain,
an athlete, a basketcase,

33
00:01:45,703 --> 00:01:49,608
a princess, a criminal,
or someone who's completely

34
00:01:49,608 --> 00:01:51,477
[bleep] useless.

35
00:01:51,477 --> 00:01:52,744
- [Inaudible]

36
00:01:52,744 --> 00:01:54,762
The Breakfast Club.

37
00:01:54,762 --> 00:01:57,949
- After which, you'll level up
with powerful new tadpole skills

38
00:01:57,949 --> 00:02:00,519
and an impressive case 
of not beating them

39
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:02,471
and therefore joining them

40
00:02:02,471 --> 00:02:04,523
by using the parasites in your head

41
00:02:04,523 --> 00:02:07,008
to learn stuff like "push"
and "migraine"

42
00:02:07,008 --> 00:02:09,627
as all your companions tell you about
how bad of an idea it is

43
00:02:09,627 --> 00:02:12,131
to listen to your literal dark passenger.

44
00:02:12,131 --> 00:02:14,332
- I think we should resist these powers.

45
00:02:14,332 --> 00:02:17,819
There are simply too many
unknowns for us to risk it.

46
00:02:17,819 --> 00:02:21,156
- But you can always just peer pressure
into going full slug-mode with you.

47
00:02:21,156 --> 00:02:24,726
Come on, Shadowheart! 
Embrace the worm!

48
00:02:24,726 --> 00:02:26,259
All the cool kids are doing it!

49
00:02:26,259 --> 00:02:29,798
- Well... perhaps you have a point.

50
00:02:29,798 --> 00:02:33,468
- Gather up your intrepid adventurers 
in single-player mode

51
00:02:33,468 --> 00:02:35,720
like a team of sexy Pokémon

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,622
and use their combined skills
like you would in real life,

53
00:02:38,622 --> 00:02:41,609
trying to have conversations
that don't end in death threats,

54
00:02:41,609 --> 00:02:44,078
then once things inevitably 
go off the rails,

55
00:02:44,078 --> 00:02:48,050
try to remember all your different moves
as you shove, stab,

56
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:51,186
and magic trick your way
through the incoming hordes.

57
00:02:51,186 --> 00:02:52,653
- A legion, Michael.
- Hmm.

58
00:02:52,653 --> 00:02:54,422
- [Inaudible] for money.

59
00:02:54,422 --> 00:02:57,108
- And if that doesn't work,
you can cast the strongest spell

60
00:02:57,108 --> 00:02:59,577
in the game -- save scumming.

61
00:02:59,577 --> 00:03:02,097
Wait, it's been two hours
since I remembered to save?

62
00:03:02,097 --> 00:03:05,065
What kind of game makes you
manually save in 2023?

63
00:03:05,065 --> 00:03:09,120
Once you've decided to give up
on babysitting a bunch of NPCs,

64
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,023
bring your real life D&D group
into the virtual world

65
00:03:12,023 --> 00:03:14,893
and watch them make
the same infuriating choices

66
00:03:14,893 --> 00:03:16,478
that they do IRL,

67
00:03:16,478 --> 00:03:18,947
steal all the loot for themselves,

68
00:03:18,947 --> 00:03:21,650
and pick the most bonkers dialogue options

69
00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:24,953
just to see if they can make you
actually explode for real.

70
00:03:24,953 --> 00:03:27,022
Hey, if you're lucky,
this'll go exactly like

71
00:03:27,022 --> 00:03:29,825
an actual tabletop session
and everyone will make excuses

72
00:03:29,825 --> 00:03:32,127
to bail out of the campaign
after a couple weeks for some reason.

73
00:03:32,127 --> 00:03:35,213
- [Inaudible] everything
we've been looking for.

74
00:03:35,213 --> 00:03:38,516
- Go up against the scariest enemy
of the game --

75
00:03:38,516 --> 00:03:40,469
the U.I. --

76
00:03:40,469 --> 00:03:43,838
with so many inventories to manage,
that it feels like looking

77
00:03:43,838 --> 00:03:45,557
at a Candy Crush level,

78
00:03:45,557 --> 00:03:47,742
tooltips on tooltips on tooltips,

79
00:03:47,742 --> 00:03:50,329
and row after row 
of skills and spells

80
00:03:50,329 --> 00:03:52,998
to make you just shrug
and use whatever's in your hand

81
00:03:52,998 --> 00:03:54,133
at the time.

82
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:54,916
What?

83
00:03:54,916 --> 00:03:56,718
[Inaudible] Excel sheets
in the middle of a war zone.

84
00:03:56,718 --> 00:04:00,639
So grab a 20-sided die
and get ready to roll

85
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:03,625
the most nat ones
you've ever seen in your life

86
00:04:03,625 --> 00:04:06,129
in a truly massive gaming experience

87
00:04:06,129 --> 00:04:09,548
that will appeal to both old
and new fans of the series

88
00:04:09,548 --> 00:04:13,153
thanks to its intriguing story,
fun characters,

89
00:04:13,153 --> 00:04:16,171
and thrilling battles,
all coming together

90
00:04:16,171 --> 00:04:19,824
to make an impressive approximation
of a real D&D campaign

91
00:04:19,824 --> 00:04:23,511
run by the worst DM
in the entire [bleep] world.

92
00:04:23,511 --> 00:04:25,631
Starring:

93
00:04:25,631 --> 00:04:27,466
Emily the Strange,

94
00:04:27,466 --> 00:04:29,118
Devil May Thighs,

95
00:04:29,118 --> 00:04:31,969
Crank 2: High Voltage,
But With Magic,

96
00:04:31,969 --> 00:04:33,554
Gethin' Busy,

97
00:04:33,554 --> 00:04:35,974
I can't believe this sparkly twink
rejected me,

98
00:04:35,974 --> 00:04:38,076
Wyll Nye the Demon Guy,

99
00:04:38,076 --> 00:04:39,377
Papa Bear,

100
00:04:39,377 --> 00:04:42,448
the MVP of celebrity
video game VAs,

101
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:45,950
and whatever your specific fetish
happens to be.

102
00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:49,020
Baldur's Game 3:
Critical Hole.

103
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:51,706
Casuals have sex with a bear.

104
00:04:51,706 --> 00:04:55,160
Real gamers seduce the emperor 
of the mind flayers.

105
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,179
Comment below on what you
want to hear in my epic voice

106
00:04:58,179 --> 00:05:01,583
and check out these other 
epic gaming videos on GameSpot.

107
00:05:01,583 --> 00:05:05,136
They mostly come at night. Mostly.

108
00:05:05,136 --> 00:05:08,075
Don't call me Ratatouille.

109
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:10,926
How many Lowe's
could Rob Lowe rob

110
00:05:10,926 --> 00:05:13,678
if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's?

111
00:05:13,678 --> 00:05:16,764
How's about maybe a thanks
for saving you from what appears to be,

112
00:05:16,764 --> 00:05:20,286
I don't know, some kind 
of sci-fi sideburn dimension?

113
00:05:20,286 --> 00:05:23,454
I'm rotating a ferret.
