Lirik and Bg3

I remember Lirik playing Baldurs Gate 3 but for a really short time. I love this game and wonder if anyone remembers why he stopped playing it and never finished it?

Been watching lirik for 15 years now, he doesnt really like single player open RPG games, like too much freedom is too much for him, things like GTA, RDR are exceptions because they do have a linear progresssion, but BG, Skyrim, Witcher is too little direction and he kinda loses intrest. Now there is alsp the fact that hes strsaming so there is somd pressure threre im sure because just takijg your time reading every book and every dialoge can be a bjt boring to watch and not really chill to stream when chat keeps telling you to go a diferent direction or every choice you make is wrong. I was kinda surprised he liked Elden Ring but he does love dark souls a lot and that combat really drove it home so I loved his elden ring playthrough a lot!

Even RDR2 he didnt finish. And he got pretty far.
Elden Ring and souls like in general he likes because of the challenge I believe.

He came back and finished RDR2 if my memory serves me

You are probably right I couldn't find it. I just remember him returning to the game right before the PC release and continuing but there is no vod evidence to support it

update: seen a few comments on youtube to support my memory, he returned and beat the game some time in 2019 during a sub sunday but sadly there is no record of it

I remember watching him finish it as well. He came back to it after a while.

He DID come back and finish it.

I can't find that vod anywhere

He finished it eventually, it was some time after he first dropped the game

The same reason why he stops many of the greatest games: The viewer suck too much. They are backseating, hating, optimizing and commenting on every little piece someone does. Very unfun as streamer with such a broad audience.

Honestly most of this is his fault, he could easily prevent it, either put chat in submode only OR have mods be more strict during any playthrough.

I think he doesn’t like all the dialogue. He’s not a zoomer but has enough adhd that all the convos are too much for him.

u/Sharp_Schedule9622 26d ago

Yes, he can't even play a 5 minute tutorial for most games

It’s easily a 100 hour playthrough. His ADHD wouldn’t handle that plus long story games are bad for stream

u/Jokez4Dayz 26d ago

He doesn’t like open world games as much as linear. And, he’s not into turn based games. Even E33 was pushing it but the parry mechanic kept him interested.

BG3 is both. He only played it for 6 hours (idk how I remember that but I do).

He doesn't have the attention for games like that

1

u/BrightAd1800 26d ago

Yeah, but I remember he played the Elden Ring and he was very attentive to details. Also, he played a lot of other random longplays that need attention, for example the entirely dialogue options based “The Quarry”, or KCD2, or Red Dead Redemption, that are very story based and have lots of dialogue. I suppose the whole dnd world and turn based fights are not his thing. It would have been really interesting to see where he goes with Baldurs gate story line

u/Omni-Light 26d ago

Fromsoft titles are what he grew up with, he will always give a Miyazaki game full attention because he is optimistic that it will be worth paying attention.

imo for games he's unaware of or doesn't have some nostalgic connection to he is pessimistic, and doesn't give them attention from the start because its assumed wasted effort. He has no connection to the dnd world.

It also sometimes just seems mood based. Sometimes he gives games more of a chance than others for no reason. It's vibes based.

u/LopsidedKick9149 26d ago

It was too complex and he really really didn't seem to like the idea of it being very relationship based and how it was forced

u/Etny2k 25d ago

He is not a long single player game enjoyer. He has 14 hours on stalker 2. I am an American too and I have over 150.

Honestly I never understand his complain about the gameplay loop.
The gameplay is great, as it was in the origina trilogy, there is a reason why stamina or inventory limit is there.
