Why Baldur's Gate 3 is better than Spider-Man 2...

thank you so much I always dreamed about what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday but I never actually thought that would have happened uh I seen country music so thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA award [Music] I yo Taylor I I'm really happy for you I'm let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time one of the best videos of all [Applause] time sometimes I have hope in The Gaming Community we've been dealing with so many [ __ ] games for so many years I mean every single game comes with either a battle pass or microtransactions or pay to win and then I'm swiftly reminded that most of you only play triaa games and Call of Duty and Madden and NBA 2K on December 7 we Pro on December 7th we were provided on December 7th we were provided with the game awards this is essentially the Oscars for video game developers the voice actors the people who produce the music the awards are handed out based on votes from both fans and media outlets and this year just like every other year they announced the game of the year the games nominated this year were Allen wake 2 Boulder SK 3 Spider-Man 2 Super Mario Brothers Wonder Zelda tears of the kingdom and Resident Evil 4 the Remake they also hand out plenty of other Awards such as best game Direction best narrative best performance best action and adventure even best mobile game and the one thing that bothered me this year was just how many people were upset that Spider-Man 2 didn't win any awards more specifically it didn't win game of the year and some people are also set that it didn't win best performance it's 2: a.m. and I have work at 6:00 a.m. I'm laying in bed Doom scrolling Tik Tok just like the rest of you when I see over and over again the exact same reactions from all of these creators so I'm going to stand here by myself in my garage and tell you exactly why balers Gate 3 is not only better than Spider-Man 2 but it's one of the best games in this generation tell me tell me right now tell me right now tell me right now tell me right now have you ever played Boulders Gate 3 and the game of the year is Boulders Gate 3 bro this [ __ ] rig dog I'm going to be honest there's a lot of people that just stick with their handful of games and that's perfectly fine and that's okay and you're more than welcome to buy same Call of Duty FIFA Madden NBA 2K they they've been making the exact same way ever since you were a dream in your father's eye just know that your game of the year is not going to be something that's so heavily weighed on microtransactions and battle passes and I'm sure your first question is going to be have you actually played Spider-Man 2 now have you actually played Boulders Gate 3 I've beaten both games in fact I've 100% completed Spider-Man 2 and you know what I loved Spider-Man anything from swinging through the city webbing up bad guys F flying it was everything it needed to be but Boulders gate boundless Timeless but mother flipping booty smacking vampire 11 BG to the [ __ ] three it was like breathing for the first time time in years I haven't played a single laran Studios game my entire life but this game was Next Level anything from the story The Voice acting the music the map design everything was almost perfect Spider-Man 2 brought a feeling of nostalgia it gave the same feeling that the Arkham series gave and the God of War series gave to us it once again brought to life characters that we all hold very dear these are characters that a lot of us have grown up with and so to see them in play with these characters means a lot to us but those fans that are rejecting balers Gate 3 and saying that Spider-Man 2 was the better game don't quite understand that every single character which is multiple of them in balers Gate 3 gave you the same exact emotion and say same exact feeling that just Peter or miles would have given you Boulders Gate 3 gave you individual characters with real choices and real [Music] outcome I'm just going to give you guys the cold hard F Spider-Man 2 took 12 to 15 hours just for the story and 35 to 40 hours to 100% the game now we all know that's not very long for a $70 game do you want to know how long it takes to beat only the story in Boulders Gate 3 go ahead guess no no no go ahead and guess I'll give you a second 56 hours 56 hours of only story that's it you don't do anything else you just play the story mode you know what's even crazier than that it takes 144 hours to 100% the game which doesn't even really seem possible when you actually play the game because there's like a thousand different ways to complete it the amount of time I took trying to seduce a demon woman in Boulders Gate 3 is at least twice the amount of time it took me to save all of New York and Spider-Man 2 just as God intended 15 hours of story mode for a $70 game is just not enough I probably spent at least 15 hours trying to decide which preset and customization for my character I was going to choose and yes you know exactly which preset I'm talking about if you didn't choose number four you're weird Spider-Man's story missions and side missions are extremely linear and predictable Boulder's Gate is based on Dungeons and Dragons meaning that every single decision that you make has multiple outcomes rolling a 20-sided die will be what determines your fate the entire story do you want to Rob someone then you better hope the larryan gods are with you want to convince somebody not to fight you better not roll a one do you want to collect 1,000 barrels and blow them up all at the same time to make your GPU into a homemade bomb you can do that you can play the game how you want to play it while Spider-Man 2 expands on an already told story of a character that many Americans have loved and cherish in their childhood ERS Gate 3 lets you write the story and tell the story the way you want it to be told I currently have three games going at the same time right now there's not a single game that has played out exactly the same destroy what in the sweet house were you were thinking activating that makes me a better Spiderman one of the big arguments of the game awards is that people think Yuri lenthal should have won over Neil newborn for the best performance Yuri is an incredible voice voice actor and he deserves all of the praise that he gets but sadly when you have a game as big as Boulders Gate 3 you're left with a lot of chances for the voice actor to express their talent Neil newborn has at least 5 hours of just dialogue we're not talking about 5 hours of cutscenes we're not talking about 5 hours of screen time we are talking about at least 5 hours of nonstop talking remember what I said about the gameplay hours for the story mode and Spider-Man 2 that means Neil newborn was talking for a third of Spider-Man 2's entire story Yuri acted his Webb ass off in Spider-Man 2 he showed a lot of really raw emotion but when you compare it to Boulders gate they have more than just one or two good voice actors they have six at the minimum each character has a fully fleshed out story each character has more than one ending to their story overall throughout the entire time you're playing the game you just build a deeper connection to Neil's character than you do Yuri's character it's ad time baby what's up I'm super excited to announce

Boulders Gate 3 has has better game mechanics than Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man 2 has very fun game mechanics between the swinging and the new abilities that you can use and when fighting Boss characters you feel very immersed in the game but you basically just press square a bunch and then sometimes you press Circle in Boulders gate you have almost an infinite amount of ways you can handle any fight you have dozens of spells to choose from a mega ton of items to use and you can plan the way you attack before the fight happens you can run in head first or you can take your time and plan your attack each hit that you deal to them or that they deal to you could also be deadly it truly feels that you could fight the same enemy 10 different times not a single time will it play out the same sure I know those of you that haven't played turn-based games are like oh my God turn-based games are so lame trust me when I say when you start casting spells turning into Al bears and you start shoving people off of cliffs you'll never look back you can play the entire game just smacking people with sausages yes like real sausages there's classes and subclasses that also let you change CH how you play the game some fights might take you 30 plus minutes but when you win that fight damn does it feel good when you win a fight in Spider-Man you're just like that was cool when in Boulder gate it's like I came completely prepared and nothing happened the way I expected it to well I know I've spent most of my time praising balers Gate 3 and bashing on Spider-Man 2 I do understand that Spider-Man 2 not winning a single award is a hard pill to swallow I enjoyed my time playing Spider-Man too swinging through the city alone is enough to give the game praise not to mention its own unique telling of Peter and miles's story The Series has been nothing short of amazing even so Boulders Gate 3 is not just some r random RPG it's a game that's setting a new standard in this generation no microtransactions no paid DLC the game launched completely made and laran Studio listens to their Community shortly after the game's release they dropped plenty of updates that we had been asking for this game was so impactful that it had other AAA Studios shaking in the little booty wo ities because of just how good the game was you had developers on Twitter arguing that we shouldn't expect this type of game from them so when a game is so good that other developers are saying there's no way in hell we'll ever make a game this good don't expect this from us then you know you have a good game on your hands I hope that those of you that wanted Spider-Man 2 to win over Boulders Gate 3 learned that just because it's a different game does it mean it's a bad game as we're the ones that's consuming the game and playing the game we have to demand these types of changes that Larry and Studios has made for their game for the remainder of our other games if you want to still play these battle pass hungry microtransaction hungry unfinished games for the remainder of your life feel free to do that but as for me I would rather have another laran Studios give us a complete game for $70 rather than pay 70 now and then be asked on a survey later if I would pay $100 for an expansion games like Boulders Gate 3 should be the new standard this should be the game of the year also maybe some of us do want to cuddle a bear guys he's a druid it's totally normal it's okay Noel if you've made it this far in the video You're a madman and I appreciate you very much
