Honest Game Trailers | Baldur's Gate 3

  • 0:11 - 0:13
    - From the developer known
    for a bunch of games
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    that are almost Dungeons and Dragons
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    comes the second great take
    on D&D this year
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    and the most accurate D&D
    video game to date
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    because the main characters
    are a bunch of horny losers
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    that can't seem to do anything right.
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    Baldur's Gate 3.
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    Experience the buggiest open-world
    game on the market
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    until two weeks from now,
    when Starfield comes out
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    as you journey once more
    into the world of Faerun,
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    a magical land of fantasy,
    where everyone wants to [bleep] you,
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    including all the perverts in your party,
    the sexy wildlife --
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    but mostly your own dice.
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    Other than that though,
    Faerun isn't too different
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    from the real world
    because everyone needs
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    a long rest and has
    a serious case of brain worms.
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    Search the land for a way to get rid
    of the worst hitchhiker of all time,
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    a wriggling mind flayer tadpole
    that got plopped into your peeper,
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    which you have to fight
    against the influence of
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    while trying to figure out
    how to remove it
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    from your brain without dying
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    as your quest to pluck it out
    has you trying everything
  • 1:14 - 1:18
    from homeopathic druid medicine,
    to Githyanki torture chambers,
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    to just picking up a drifter
    and letting him go to town
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    on your face with an icepick.
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    Why can I not summon health insurance?!
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    [Inaudible] your way through
    every fantasy ride you start
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    with a robust character creation system
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    that, like D&D itself,
    lets you create whatever
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    freak of nature your brain can conjure --
  • 1:38 - 1:42
    so long as it has
    one of six genitalia options.
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    Then decide whether to be a brain,
    an athlete, a basketcase,
  • 1:46 - 1:50
    a princess, a criminal,
    or someone who's completely
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    [bleep] useless.
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    - [Inaudible]
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    The Breakfast Club.
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    - After which, you'll level up
    with powerful new tadpole skills
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    and an impressive case
    of not beating them
  • 2:01 - 2:02
    and therefore joining them
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    by using the parasites in your head
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    to learn stuff like "push"
    and "migraine"
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    as all your companions tell you about
    how bad of an idea it is
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    to listen to your literal dark passenger.
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    - I think we should resist these powers.
  • 2:14 - 2:18
    There are simply too many
    unknowns for us to risk it.
  • 2:18 - 2:21
    - But you can always just peer pressure
    into going full slug-mode with you.
  • 2:21 - 2:25
    Come on, Shadowheart!
    Embrace the worm!
  • 2:25 - 2:26
    All the cool kids are doing it!
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    - Well... perhaps you have a point.
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    - Gather up your intrepid adventurers
    in single-player mode
  • 2:33 - 2:36
    like a team of sexy Pokémon
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    and use their combined skills
    like you would in real life,
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    trying to have conversations
    that don't end in death threats,
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    then once things inevitably
    go off the rails,
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    try to remember all your different moves
    as you shove, stab,
  • 2:48 - 2:51
    and magic trick your way
    through the incoming hordes.
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    - A legion, Michael.
    - Hmm.
  • 2:53 - 2:54
    - [Inaudible] for money.
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    - And if that doesn't work,
    you can cast the strongest spell
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    in the game -- save scumming.
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    Wait, it's been two hours
    since I remembered to save?
  • 3:02 - 3:05
    What kind of game makes you
    manually save in 2023?
  • 3:05 - 3:09
    Once you've decided to give up
    on babysitting a bunch of NPCs,
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    bring your real life D&D group
    into the virtual world
  • 3:12 - 3:15
    and watch them make
    the same infuriating choices
  • 3:15 - 3:16
    that they do IRL,
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    steal all the loot for themselves,
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    and pick the most bonkers dialogue options
  • 3:22 - 3:25
    just to see if they can make you
    actually explode for real.
  • 3:25 - 3:27
    Hey, if you're lucky,
    this'll go exactly like
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    an actual tabletop session
    and everyone will make excuses
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    to bail out of the campaign
    after a couple weeks for some reason.
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    - [Inaudible] everything
    we've been looking for.
  • 3:35 - 3:39
    - Go up against the scariest enemy
    of the game --
  • 3:39 - 3:40
    the U.I. --
  • 3:40 - 3:44
    with so many inventories to manage,
    that it feels like looking
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    at a Candy Crush level,
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    tooltips on tooltips on tooltips,
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    and row after row
    of skills and spells
  • 3:50 - 3:53
    to make you just shrug
    and use whatever's in your hand
  • 3:53 - 3:54
    at the time.
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    What?
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    [Inaudible] Excel sheets
    in the middle of a war zone.
  • 3:57 - 4:01
    So grab a 20-sided die
    and get ready to roll
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    the most nat ones
    you've ever seen in your life
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    in a truly massive gaming experience
  • 4:06 - 4:10
    that will appeal to both old
    and new fans of the series
  • 4:10 - 4:13
    thanks to its intriguing story,
    fun characters,
  • 4:13 - 4:16
    and thrilling battles,
    all coming together
  • 4:16 - 4:20
    to make an impressive approximation
    of a real D&D campaign
  • 4:20 - 4:24
    run by the worst DM
    in the entire [bleep] world.
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    Starring:
  • 4:26 - 4:27
    Emily the Strange,
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    Devil May Thighs,
  • 4:29 - 4:32
    Crank 2: High Voltage,
    But With Magic,
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    Gethin' Busy,
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    I can't believe this sparkly twink
    rejected me,
  • 4:36 - 4:38
    Wyll Nye the Demon Guy,
  • 4:38 - 4:39
    Papa Bear,
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    the MVP of celebrity
    video game VAs,
  • 4:42 - 4:46
    and whatever your specific fetish
    happens to be.
  • 4:46 - 4:49
    Baldur's Game 3:
    Critical Hole.
  • 4:49 - 4:52
    Casuals have sex with a bear.
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    Real gamers seduce the emperor
    of the mind flayers.
  • 4:55 - 4:58

    want to hear in my epic voice
  • 4:58 - 5:02

    epic gaming videos on GameSpot.
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    They mostly come at night. Mostly.
  • 5:05 - 5:08
    Don't call me Ratatouille.
  • 5:08 - 5:11
    How many Lowe's
    could Rob Lowe rob
  • 5:11 - 5:14
    if Rob Lowe could rob Lowe's?
  • 5:14 - 5:17
    How's about maybe a thanks
    for saving you from what appears to be,
  • 5:17 - 5:20
    I don't know, some kind
    of sci-fi sideburn dimension?
  • 5:20 - 5:23
    I'm rotating a ferret.
