WEBVTT

00:00:10.241 --> 00:00:12.844
- From the developer known
for a bunch of games

00:00:12.844 --> 00:00:15.231
that are almost Dungeons and Dragons

00:00:15.231 --> 00:00:18.275
comes the second great take
on D&D this year

00:00:18.275 --> 00:00:21.419
and the most accurate D&D
video game to date

00:00:21.419 --> 00:00:23.905
because the main characters
are a bunch of horny losers

00:00:23.905 --> 00:00:25.926
that can't seem to do anything right.

00:00:25.926 --> 00:00:28.616
Baldur's Gate 3.

00:00:28.616 --> 00:00:31.895
Experience the buggiest open-world
game on the market

00:00:31.895 --> 00:00:34.708
until two weeks from now,
when Starfield comes out

00:00:34.708 --> 00:00:37.963
as you journey once more
into the world of Faerun,

00:00:37.963 --> 00:00:42.424
a magical land of fantasy,
where everyone wants to [bleep] you,

00:00:42.424 --> 00:00:46.811
including all the perverts in your party,
the sexy wildlife,

00:00:46.811 --> 00:00:48.958
but mostly your own dice.

00:00:48.958 --> 00:00:51.036
Other than that though,
Faerun isn't too different

00:00:51.036 --> 00:00:53.101
from the real world
because everyone needs

00:00:53.101 --> 00:00:56.237
a long rest and has
a serious case of brain worms.

00:00:56.237 --> 00:01:00.429
Search the land for a way to get rid
of the worst hitchhiker of all time,

00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:04.045
a wriggling mind flayer tadpole
that got plopped into your peeper,

00:01:04.045 --> 00:01:06.831
which you have to fight
against the influence of

00:01:06.831 --> 00:01:09.116
while trying to figure out
how to remove it

00:01:09.116 --> 00:01:10.869
from your brain without dying

00:01:10.869 --> 00:01:13.802
as your quest to pluck it out
has you trying everything

00:01:13.802 --> 00:01:18.441
from homeopathic druid medicine,
to Githyanki torture chambers,

00:01:18.441 --> 00:01:21.086
to just picking up a drifter
and letting him go to town

00:01:21.086 --> 00:01:22.915
on your face with an icepick.

00:01:22.915 --> 00:01:26.519
Why can I not summon health insurance?!

00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.037
Min-max your way 
through every fantasy ride you start

00:01:30.037 --> 00:01:32.941
with a robust character creation system

00:01:32.941 --> 00:01:36.094
that, like D&D itself,
lets you create whatever

00:01:36.094 --> 00:01:38.331
freak of nature your brain can conjure,

00:01:38.331 --> 00:01:41.656
so long as it has 
one of six genitalia options.

00:01:41.656 --> 00:01:45.703
Then decide whether to be a brain,
an athlete, a basketcase,

00:01:45.703 --> 00:01:49.508
a princess, a criminal,
or someone who's completely

00:01:49.508 --> 00:01:51.347
[bleep] useless.

00:01:51.347 --> 00:01:54.584
- Sincerely yours,
the Breakfast Club.

00:01:54.584 --> 00:01:57.949
- After which, you'll level up
with powerful new tadpole skills

00:01:57.949 --> 00:02:00.519
and an impressive case 
of not beating 'em

00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.471
and therefore joining 'em

00:02:02.471 --> 00:02:04.523
by using the parasites in your head

00:02:04.523 --> 00:02:06.828
to learn stuff like "push"
and "migraine"

00:02:06.828 --> 00:02:09.627
as all your companions tell you
how bad of an idea it is

00:02:09.627 --> 00:02:12.131
to listen to your literal dark passenger.

00:02:12.131 --> 00:02:14.332
- I think we should resist these powers.

00:02:14.332 --> 00:02:17.739
There are simply too many
unknowns for us to risk it.

00:02:17.739 --> 00:02:21.366
- But you can always just peer pressure
them into going full slug-mode with you.

00:02:21.366 --> 00:02:24.326
Come on, Shadowheart! 
Embrace the worm!

00:02:24.326 --> 00:02:25.979
All the cool kids are doing it!

00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:29.798
- Well... perhaps you have a point.

00:02:29.798 --> 00:02:33.468
- Gather up your intrepid adventurers 
in single-player mode

00:02:33.468 --> 00:02:35.720
like a team of sexy Pokémon

00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:38.622
and use their combined skills
like you would in real life,

00:02:38.622 --> 00:02:41.609
trying to have conversations
that don't end in death threats,

00:02:41.609 --> 00:02:44.078
then once things inevitably 
go off the rails,

00:02:44.078 --> 00:02:48.050
try to remember all your different moves
as you shove, stab,

00:02:48.050 --> 00:02:51.066
and magic trick your way
through the incoming hordes.

00:02:51.066 --> 00:02:52.653
- Illusion, Michael.
- Hmm.

00:02:52.653 --> 00:02:54.422
- A trick is something
a whore does for money.

00:02:54.422 --> 00:02:57.108
- And if that doesn't work,
you can cast the strongest spell

00:02:57.108 --> 00:02:59.577
in the game -- save scumming.

00:02:59.577 --> 00:03:02.097
Wait, it's been two hours
since I remembered to save?

00:03:02.097 --> 00:03:05.725
What kind of game makes you
manually save in 2023?

00:03:05.725 --> 00:03:09.120
Once you've decided to give up
on babysitting a bunch of NPCs,

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.313
bring your real life D&D group
into the virtual world

00:03:12.313 --> 00:03:14.813
and watch them make
the same infuriating choices

00:03:14.813 --> 00:03:16.478
that they do IRL,

00:03:16.478 --> 00:03:18.947
steal all the loot for themselves,

00:03:18.947 --> 00:03:21.650
and pick the most bonkers dialogue options

00:03:21.650 --> 00:03:24.953
just to see if they can make you
actually explode for real.

00:03:24.953 --> 00:03:27.022
Hey, if you're lucky,
this'll go exactly like

00:03:27.022 --> 00:03:29.825
an actual tabletop session
and everyone will make excuses

00:03:29.825 --> 00:03:32.136
to bail out of the campaign
after a couple weeks for some reason.

00:03:32.136 --> 00:03:35.493
- This could be everything
we've been looking for.

00:03:35.493 --> 00:03:38.516
- Go up against the scariest enemy
of the game --

00:03:38.516 --> 00:03:40.469
the U.I. --

00:03:40.469 --> 00:03:43.838
with so many inventories to manage
that it feels like looking

00:03:43.838 --> 00:03:45.557
at a Candy Crush level,

00:03:45.557 --> 00:03:47.742
tooltips on tooltips on tooltips,

00:03:47.742 --> 00:03:50.329
and row after row 
of skills and spells

00:03:50.329 --> 00:03:52.832
to make you just shrug
and use whatever's in your hand

00:03:52.832 --> 00:03:53.953
at the time.

00:03:53.953 --> 00:03:54.916
What?

00:03:54.916 --> 00:03:57.388
Nobody used Excel sheets
in the middle of a war zone.

00:03:57.388 --> 00:04:00.639
So grab a 20-sided die
and get ready to roll

00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.625
the most nat ones
you've ever seen in your life

00:04:03.625 --> 00:04:06.129
in a truly massive gaming experience

00:04:06.129 --> 00:04:09.728
that will appeal to both old
and new fans of the series

00:04:09.728 --> 00:04:13.273
thanks to its intriguing story,
fun characters,

00:04:13.273 --> 00:04:16.171
and thrilling battles,
all coming together

00:04:16.171 --> 00:04:20.044
to make an impressive approximation
of a real D&D campaign

00:04:20.044 --> 00:04:23.511
run by the worst DM
in the entire [bleep] world.

00:04:23.511 --> 00:04:25.631
Starring:

00:04:25.631 --> 00:04:27.466
Emily the Strange,

00:04:27.466 --> 00:04:29.118
Devil May Thighs,

00:04:29.118 --> 00:04:32.109
Crank 2: High Voltage,
but with Magic,

00:04:32.109 --> 00:04:33.554
Gethin' Busy,

00:04:33.554 --> 00:04:35.974
I can't believe this sparkly twink
rejected me,

00:04:35.974 --> 00:04:38.076
(singing)
Wyll Nye the Demon Guy,

00:04:38.076 --> 00:04:39.377
Papa Bear,

00:04:39.377 --> 00:04:42.598
the MVP of celebrity
video game VAs,

00:04:42.598 --> 00:04:45.950
and whatever your specific fetish
happens to be.

00:04:45.950 --> 00:04:49.020
Baldur's Game 3:
Critical Hole.

00:04:49.020 --> 00:04:51.706
Casuals have sex with a bear.

00:04:51.706 --> 00:04:55.260
Real gamers seduce the emperor 
of the mind flayers.

00:04:55.260 --> 00:04:58.179
Comment below on what you
want to hear in my epic voice

00:04:58.179 --> 00:05:01.583
and check out these other 
epic gaming videos on GameSpot.

00:05:01.583 --> 00:05:05.136
They mostly come at night. Mostly.

00:05:05.136 --> 00:05:08.075
Don't call me Ratatouille.

00:05:08.075 --> 00:05:10.926
How many Lowe's
could Rob Lowe rob

00:05:10.926 --> 00:05:13.712
if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's?

00:05:13.712 --> 00:05:16.854
How's about maybe a thanks
for saving you from what appears to be,

00:05:16.854 --> 00:05:20.286
I don't know, some kind 
of sci-fi sideburn dimension?

00:05:20.286 --> 00:05:23.500
I'm rotating a ferret.
