1
00:00:10,241 --> 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 --> 00:00:18,275
comes the second great take
on D&D this year

4
00:00:18,275 --> 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 --> 00:00:25,926
that can't seem to do anything right.

7
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:28,616
Baldur's Gate 3.

8
00:00:28,616 --> 00:00:31,895
Experience the buggiest open-world
game on the market

9
00:00:31,895 --> 00:00:34,708
until two weeks from now,
when Starfield comes out

10
00:00:34,708 --> 00:00:37,963
as you journey once more
into the world of Faerun,

11
00:00:37,963 --> 00:00:42,424
a magical land of fantasy,
where everyone wants to [bleep] you,

12
00:00:42,424 --> 00:00:46,811
including all the perverts in your party,
the sexy wildlife,

13
00:00:46,811 --> 00:00:48,958
but mostly your own dice.

14
00:00:48,958 --> 00:00:51,036
Other than that though,
Faerun isn't too different

15
00:00:51,036 --> 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 --> 00:01:00,429
Search the land for a way to get rid
of the worst hitchhiker of all time,

18
00:01:00,429 --> 00:01:04,045
a wriggling mind flayer tadpole
that got plopped into your peeper,

19
00:01:04,045 --> 00:01:06,831
which you have to fight
against the influence of

20
00:01:06,831 --> 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 --> 00:01:13,802
as your quest to pluck it out
has you trying everything

23
00:01:13,802 --> 00:01:18,441
from homeopathic druid medicine,
to Githyanki torture chambers,

24
00:01:18,441 --> 00:01:21,086
to just picking up a drifter
and letting him go to town

25
00:01:21,086 --> 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
Min-max 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 --> 00:01:41,656
so long as it has 
one of six genitalia options.

32
00:01:41,656 --> 00:01:45,703
Then decide whether to be a brain,
an athlete, a basketcase,

33
00:01:45,703 --> 00:01:49,508
a princess, a criminal,
or someone who's completely

34
00:01:49,508 --> 00:01:51,347
[bleep] useless.

35
00:01:51,347 --> 00:01:54,584
- Sincerely yours,
the Breakfast Club.

36
00:01:54,584 --> 00:01:57,949
- After which, you'll level up
with powerful new tadpole skills

37
00:01:57,949 --> 00:02:00,519
and an impressive case 
of not beating 'em

38
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:02,471
and therefore joining 'em

39
00:02:02,471 --> 00:02:04,523
by using the parasites in your head

40
00:02:04,523 --> 00:02:06,828
to learn stuff like "push"
and "migraine"

41
00:02:06,828 --> 00:02:09,627
as all your companions tell you
how bad of an idea it is

42
00:02:09,627 --> 00:02:12,131
to listen to your literal dark passenger.

43
00:02:12,131 --> 00:02:14,332
- I think we should resist these powers.

44
00:02:14,332 --> 00:02:17,739
There are simply too many
unknowns for us to risk it.

45
00:02:17,739 --> 00:02:21,366
- But you can always just peer pressure
them into going full slug-mode with you.

46
00:02:21,366 --> 00:02:24,326
Come on, Shadowheart! 
Embrace the worm!

47
00:02:24,326 --> 00:02:25,979
All the cool kids are doing it!

48
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:29,798
- Well... perhaps you have a point.

49
00:02:29,798 --> 00:02:33,468
- Gather up your intrepid adventurers 
in single-player mode

50
00:02:33,468 --> 00:02:35,720
like a team of sexy Pokémon

51
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,622
and use their combined skills
like you would in real life,

52
00:02:38,622 --> 00:02:41,609
trying to have conversations
that don't end in death threats,

53
00:02:41,609 --> 00:02:44,078
then once things inevitably 
go off the rails,

54
00:02:44,078 --> 00:02:48,050
try to remember all your different moves
as you shove, stab,

55
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:51,066
and magic trick your way
through the incoming hordes.

56
00:02:51,066 --> 00:02:52,653
- Illusion, Michael.
- Hmm.

57
00:02:52,653 --> 00:02:54,422
- A trick is something
a whore does for money.

58
00:02:54,422 --> 00:02:57,108
- And if that doesn't work,
you can cast the strongest spell

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

60
00:02:59,577 --> 00:03:02,097
Wait, it's been two hours
since I remembered to save?

61
00:03:02,097 --> 00:03:05,725
What kind of game makes you
manually save in 2023?

62
00:03:05,725 --> 00:03:09,120
Once you've decided to give up
on babysitting a bunch of NPCs,

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,313
bring your real life D&D group
into the virtual world

64
00:03:12,313 --> 00:03:14,813
and watch them make
the same infuriating choices

65
00:03:14,813 --> 00:03:16,478
that they do IRL,

66
00:03:16,478 --> 00:03:18,947
steal all the loot for themselves,

67
00:03:18,947 --> 00:03:21,650
and pick the most bonkers dialogue options

68
00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:24,953
just to see if they can make you
actually explode for real.

69
00:03:24,953 --> 00:03:27,022
Hey, if you're lucky,
this'll go exactly like

70
00:03:27,022 --> 00:03:29,825
an actual tabletop session
and everyone will make excuses

71
00:03:29,825 --> 00:03:32,136
to bail out of the campaign
after a couple weeks for some reason.

72
00:03:32,136 --> 00:03:35,493
- This could be everything
we've been looking for.

73
00:03:35,493 --> 00:03:38,516
- Go up against the scariest enemy
of the game --

74
00:03:38,516 --> 00:03:40,469
the U.I. --

75
00:03:40,469 --> 00:03:43,838
with so many inventories to manage
that it feels like looking

76
00:03:43,838 --> 00:03:45,557
at a Candy Crush level,

77
00:03:45,557 --> 00:03:47,742
tooltips on tooltips on tooltips,

78
00:03:47,742 --> 00:03:50,329
and row after row 
of skills and spells

79
00:03:50,329 --> 00:03:52,832
to make you just shrug
and use whatever's in your hand

80
00:03:52,832 --> 00:03:53,953
at the time.

81
00:03:53,953 --> 00:03:54,916
What?

82
00:03:54,916 --> 00:03:57,388
Nobody used Excel sheets
in the middle of a war zone.

83
00:03:57,388 --> 00:04:00,639
So grab a 20-sided die
and get ready to roll

84
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:03,625
the most nat ones
you've ever seen in your life

85
00:04:03,625 --> 00:04:06,129
in a truly massive gaming experience

86
00:04:06,129 --> 00:04:09,728
that will appeal to both old
and new fans of the series

87
00:04:09,728 --> 00:04:13,273
thanks to its intriguing story,
fun characters,

88
00:04:13,273 --> 00:04:16,171
and thrilling battles,
all coming together

89
00:04:16,171 --> 00:04:20,044
to make an impressive approximation
of a real D&D campaign

90
00:04:20,044 --> 00:04:23,511
run by the worst DM
in the entire [bleep] world.

91
00:04:23,511 --> 00:04:25,631
Starring:

92
00:04:25,631 --> 00:04:27,466
Emily the Strange,

93
00:04:27,466 --> 00:04:29,118
Devil May Thighs,

94
00:04:29,118 --> 00:04:32,109
Crank 2: High Voltage,
but with Magic,

95
00:04:32,109 --> 00:04:33,554
Gethin' Busy,

96
00:04:33,554 --> 00:04:35,974
I can't believe this sparkly twink
rejected me,

97
00:04:35,974 --> 00:04:38,076
(singing)
Wyll Nye the Demon Guy,

98
00:04:38,076 --> 00:04:39,377
Papa Bear,

99
00:04:39,377 --> 00:04:42,598
the MVP of celebrity
video game VAs,

100
00:04:42,598 --> 00:04:45,950
and whatever your specific fetish
happens to be.

101
00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:49,020
Baldur's Game 3:
Critical Hole.

102
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:51,706
Casuals have sex with a bear.

103
00:04:51,706 --> 00:04:55,260
Real gamers seduce the emperor 
of the mind flayers.

104
00:04:55,260 --> 00:04:58,179
Comment below on what you
want to hear in my epic voice

105
00:04:58,179 --> 00:05:01,583
and check out these other 
epic gaming videos on GameSpot.

106
00:05:01,583 --> 00:05:05,136
They mostly come at night. Mostly.

107
00:05:05,136 --> 00:05:08,075
Don't call me Ratatouille.

108
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:10,926
How many Lowe's
could Rob Lowe rob

109
00:05:10,926 --> 00:05:13,712
if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's?

110
00:05:13,712 --> 00:05:16,854
How's about maybe a thanks
for saving you from what appears to be,

111
00:05:16,854 --> 00:05:20,286
I don't know, some kind 
of sci-fi sideburn dimension?

112
00:05:20,286 --> 00:05:23,500
I'm rotating a ferret.
