Same! The Stupid shops, and the eventual and inevitable Pay to Win items! Eventually actual progression is impossible!

To be fair they eventually squash them and make something wonderful. I did not buy anything of theirs day one

Or at least the modding community does. Works out either way.

Yeah, I love skyrim. It is probably the most played game in the history of games for me.
But I acknowledge it played like crap for a lot of people for a while

They did not make the first two that was Black Isle studios. They spent under 5 years with two of them being Covid years. That is far less time than Blizzard spent on D4 or EA spent on Anthem or Dragon Age 4 (so far).

That game had early access for 3 years
Charged full price for players to beta test their game basically while in early access
Meanwhile âbug in any other gameâ still in beta LOL

People are taking these tweets way the heck out of context because it suits some sort of narrative war that they want to spin.
A handful of devs complaining about BG3 does not mean that EA, Blizzard, or whoever else is badmouthing Larian. No company has put out any official statements saying that theyâd never try something like BG3 because its scope is too big or whatever. Itâs just employees of either company having personal back and forths over twitter.
Really, I donât see whatâs so big and grand about BG3 to begin with. It just seems like any other CRPG with AAA graphics, which by the way are not necessary at all, and especially not to CRPGs.
Iâm sure BG3 is a good game. I havenât played it yet, but I will at some point since I enjoyed Div: OS 1 and I hated enjoying Div: OS 2. But people are pretending this is the second coming of video game jesus and I just donât see it.

They didnât start until 2018 and 2020 and 2021 was scuffed. Now compare that to most AAA RPGs. How long did it take D3 and D4? Overwatch? Anthem? Dragon Age 4? Skyrim? Fallout4? Starfield?

Id argue the fact we have a sub thats required is the problem that and the store plenty of games are guiltt of it but a better comparison is other single player or slightlt multiplayer games with tons of dlc so diablo for example
I wish they would more often. Truthfully, I wish non-video game industries did the same.
Call out the nonsense whenever you can.

If people want to have a professional discussion based on facts, that would be fine.
Twitter is the opposite of everything in that sentence.

I donât want to swing too far in the other way⌠But yes, the customer is not always right and should be called out as such
But I would never do that if I owned a company. Because itâs a mine field. Maybe I would use a proxy account

I like how every ânewsâ outlet has basically been suckling BG3 teat for them sweet sweet views. I saw one that was like âTheyâve revolutionized character creation for the RPG industryâ when in reality itâs a pretty basic and standard character creation.

How many lives has twitter ruined, at this point?
Itâs a pretty big number.
