Two major WRPG’s releasing pretty much within the same week. Baldurs Gate 3 comes out 8/31 and Starfield comes out 9/6

 

[Outlier]

Two completely different style of games? Why compare them?

Get BG3, so you can give Beth time to patch out the game ruining bugs, for when you're done with BG3.

 

[anthony2690]

Starfield, even though I think these comparison threads are really dumb.

Maybe I'm in the minority in not knowing, but I learned that Baldur's gate & Baldur's gate dark alliance are completely unrelated/different games.

I was initially excited for Baldur's Gate 3, as I thought it was a follow up to the Baldur's gate dark alliance games that I love.

Sadly it isn't

Both are huge open world WRPG games, what do you mean, they are pretty similar As far as genre goes

 

[T4keD0wN]

Definitely Baldurs Gate 3
It comes out first, itll likely be in a much better state and there might be a few mods that get patched to work with the day 1 version.

Larian's games have never clicked with me and a lot of that has to do with the writing so I'm very weary of BG3. As far a Starfield goes, I don't really care for science fiction and the last Bethesda title that I enjoyed was Morrowind. I'll still probably play that first since it will be available on Game Pass.

 

[NickFire]

More interested in Starfield. But since I can't play it so they can sell it to an extra 150 million people or whatever, I will be ending up with the other one. If it reviews well of course.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Baldur's Gate 3 hands down. Gonna use a Way Of Open Hand Monk for my playthrough.

 

[fart town usa]

 

[adamsapple]

Starfield, baby.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Starfield for me. Really looking forward to BG3 but having finished DOS2 fairly recently I think I'd prefer a Bethesda style RPG for my next big one.

 

[amigastar]

 

[Topher]

First come, first serve so......Baldur's Gate 3

 

[Kacho]

Larian RPGs are cool but not in the same league as Todd Howard epics. Starfield will be the priority.

I mean, Divinity Original Sin 2 was a far better game than Fallout 4 lol

 

[phant0m]

porque no los dos

will probably prioritize Starfield though as I've already put 30 hrs in BG3 early access

 

[Kacho]

Larian RPGs are more complementary experiences to the big boys. They’re on the level of something like Wasteland 3. Good but ymmv.

 

[Captain Toad]

I'm not sold on either yet. But both are definite maybes for me. Waiting for reviews.

 

[DeadOblivion78]

Larian know how to make true RPG's unlike Bethesda nowadays.

 

[Aguero9320]

Is Baldur’s Gate on Gamepass?
If not, Starfield. If it is, Starfield.

But I’m excited for BG3 too. Just only buy on sale these days.

Don't worry, it's just another low effort bait thread from Spinal. Ignore and move on.

 

[feynoob]

Starfield is going to be a beast.
People are underestimating this monster game.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I think this is God's way of saying Stargate is being adapted to a AAA blockbuster western rpg.

 

[reinking]

Whichever one is on PlayStation....






j/k



I will play both and let the fun factor determine which one I prioritize.

 

[Danjin44]

Why do we need cringy ass vs thread? This type of threads you often see in gamefaqs and system wars in gamespot.

Because cringy ass OP remember_spinal .

Probs a N4G power user too.

 

[GHG]

There's no or for me I'll be playing both. Already have BG3 and have been playing it on and off throughout early access and will get Starfield on release provided it's not a hot mess.

Let's be honest, you're gonna play Starfield even if it's a hot mess at launch

 

[GHG]

Considering it's a space exploration game... You're right. I suffered through no man's sky at launch and still managed to have fun for ~50 hours so I'm sure I'll be fine with Starfield.

 

[tmlDan]

Baldurs Gate is the better game for me since ive played it and know already, but i will def play Starfield eventually

 

[Bkdk]

I'll play BG3 at release and play starfield around December to wait till some mods are ready.

 

[CatLady]

Starfield of course.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Starfield will be delayed again

BG3. It will be more polished at launch anyway, so waiting on Starfield later on after a few patches, is what i would recommend.

 

[lefty1117]

I like space settings better than fantasy settings (though I do like fantasy) but having played BG3 and seeing what the future holds in the recent trailer ... yeah BG3 is going to eat a lot of time until I finish it. Probably multiple playthroughts, then multiplayer with my D&D friends, and will probably stay on my hard drive for years. But I'll of course play Starfield. I guess the correct answer is, BOTH.

 

[VolticArchangel]

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Does Starfield come out 9/6 though?

You're right. It's even better.

 

[Beechos]

Baldurs gate on pc , starfield on console

 

[Perrott]

Starfield.

 

[Balducci30]

Starfield. But may play baldurs gate as well. Got ff16 and redfall and Zelda before that tho

 

[StereoVsn]

I will buy BG3 and check out the bugs in Starfield on GamePass. Then I will grab in in a few months after couple of patches.

 

[Madflavor]

Baldur's Gate 3.

Starfield is going to be a beautiful trainwreck.

 

[paolo11]

Starfield.

 

[Esca]

I'll play both but I'll wait awhile till I grab starfield so it can be patched and some mods that will be do decent qol things maybe

 

[Sanepar]

Both

 

[akaFullmetal]

I'll get spider-man if it comes out at that time. Haha

I guess bg3 as I don't have access to starfield right now.

 

[RickMasters]

Both!

 

[ClanOfNone]

No xbox or pc makes this an easy decision for me. If Starfield is hailed as the second coming, I may finally spring for a series x.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Both on PC.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

BG3. Bethesda’s only good game is Morrowind.
