Baldur's Gate 3 hits its lowest price ever as Larian celebrates 3 years of RPG greatness: "This is the price of having a nice time with your friends"

1 Share

Baldur's Gate 3 has dominated the RPG sphere for a good three years now, altering the genre for good with its monumental 2023 release – and, to celebrate, developer Larian Studios is gracing us with the game's biggest sale yet.

Since Baldur's Gate 3 launched some three summers ago, it's only gone on sale a few times – but it's only ever been discounted by about 20-25% max. This week, however, Larian is breaking the mold with a solid 30% price cut for Baldur's Gate 3 on all platforms aside from Xbox: GOG, Steam, and PlayStation 5.

The studio reveals as much in a new online post, celebrating its now-beloved RPG's legacy so far.

"Gather your party and face off against world-ending threats, or end the world with your own two hands," it reads. "Baldur's Gate 3 is now 30% off this week as we celebrate three years of adventure."

In response, the dev also shares an amusing edited screenshot of Withers talking to Shadowheart. The highlighted dialogue jests, "This is the price of having a nice time with your friends." Honestly, it's not wrong – and "nice time" might just be an understatement.

To date, I've managed to rack up nearly 2,000 hours in the RPG – and many of these were spent playing alongside my partner and friends… so, you know, at $41.99 and 30% off, it really might just be the price of having a great time with pals. I'd wager it's worth it at its full price, so it must be doubly so now.

Plus, a quick look over at SteamDB confirms what I said earlier – this is the lowest that Baldur's Gate 3 has ever been priced.

Baldur's Gate 3 boss praises the RPG's most brutal run yet, as 2 players ruin their game to stuff every NPC inside a single crate: "We should've made that an achievement."

The Odyssey IMAX 70mm screenings are being extended until the release of Resident Evil in September due to constant sell-outs

1 Share

Christopher Nolan was right when he said Gen Z was definitely going to see The Odyssey, as IMAX 70mm screenings of the movie have been given a nearly 30-day extension due to "historic" demand.

According to Forbes, the epic fantasy film has been extended through September 16. It would likely be longer if it weren't for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil, which is set to begin screening in IMAX on September 18. The reason for the extension? There are only 25 theaters in the United States that support IMAX 70mm, which is why every single showing in every single city keeps rapidly selling out (and I personally haven't been able to find one in the greater New York area that isn't at 7:00 AM).

It's worth noting that The Odyssey was also filmed specifically for IMAX. Star Tom Holland reportedly thought Nolan was unhappy with his acting as he kept yelling cut every three minutes, but that's because IMAX can only be filmed in three-minute increments.

The movie, based on Homer's epic poem, stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who's just trying to get home after the Trojan War. The cast includes Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope, Tom Holland as his son Telemachus, Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, Jon Bernthal as Helen's husband Menelaus, Charlize Theron as Calypso, and Zendaya as the Greek goddess Athena.

The Odyssey is out in theaters now. Read our The Odyssey review as well as our breakdown of The Odyssey ending explained for more.

20 years ago, Dead Rising showed a different path for open worlds, and more games should pinch its ideas

1 Share

Photojournalist Frank West is heli-dropped into the Willamette Parkview mall, following a tip-off that there’s something sinister going down in the sleepy Colorado town. Impressively undeterred by the sight of people eating each other by a school bus during his fly-by, he instructs his pilot to drop him off on the mall roof and return for him in exactly three days.

The rest, more or less, is up to you. If you decide to do absolutely nothing but lounge around in the security room for 72 in-game hours, Dead Rising doesn’t care. The chopper turns up on schedule, you get in and leave. Thanks for the £40, here’s the credits.
