It turns out that Baldur’s Gate 3‘s metal clanking sounds are so good because one sound designer literally learned blacksmithing for the game. Some people go the extra mile when it comes to making their work shine, and it sounds like (pardon the pun) Baldur’s Gate 3 sound designer Glen G. Goa is one such

Yesterday they released its second major patch with a spate
Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) For several years, it felt like if you’ve played one of Omega Force’s famed Musou action games, you’ve played them all. It seems the team took note of this souring sentiment, however, resulting in more nuanced takes on the formula in more recent titles such as Fire Emblem: Three Hopes
