Reviewers completely overlook and don't even mention what is missing from previous entries.
Are you really expecting the reviewers to have played or even know about bg1 or 2 ? Lol
I suppose knowing the source material of what they're reviewing is too much to expect from them. They'd rather parrot popular headlines for clicks and likes.

Like this baffoon



Listening to this wanker rant for 10 minutes about how Larian made BG3 with love just makes you want to chuck. It's a total obfuscation of reality.

This twat claims that Larian was passionate about Baldur's Gate and that is why they purchased the rights to make BG3 from WotC. Apparently this is proof of Larian's passion and love. This is like claiming Bethesda are passionate about Fallout because they bought the rights from Interplay. Because it's not like Bethesda saw the value in the brand name or anything and thought they could make lots of money. No way! Fallout 3 was made with nothing but LOVE! Why else would they make a Fallout game???

This begs the question; do these autists feel even an ounce of cognitive dissonance from their shit takes? Or are they just completely stupid?

People just want to fool themselves into believe that any of these companies are their friends and just hecking wholesome. At end of the day Larian is just another company and will do anything to make money. Otherwise they wouldn't have sand off the edges some of their characters so the general public would enjoy their character easier , made everyone ''pansexual'' or whatever so people wouldn't feel bad about not kissing their favorite character or dial back on the Illithid power so much that there's no consequences for using it.

People liked the newer bioware stuff and then BG3 cause of the romance. That's it. I don't know why people dance around it. It's the romance. If you want your RPG to sell, include tons of romance options. Now pay me.
It does seem gaming journalists and furries love it, but is this also true for the general audience? Maybe those public Steam achievement stats can provide information, but I haven't dared to look.

What? Larian literally does everything wrong then. They could EASILY ask money for what they add in their latest patches.

It's the only game company that doesn't milk its customers.

Apart romances, bg3 have more things in common with Ultima 6/7 than with anything Bioware created.
I swear the only thing Swen Vick took away from his love of Ultima, is having 5000 different types of useless objects cluttering up the game world, which was really cool...IN 1990!!11

Tbh, I'm really not sure why Bethesda bought the Fallout brand name. Were Fallout 1&2 really THAT successful and/or recognizable? Or was it just dirt cheap?

Clearly they were just passionate about Fallout and wanted to pour their hearts and souls into something they loved. Even Swe... I mean 'Todd' said it. So it must be true.

You think they'll have Owlcrap or some other woke studio make Icewind Dale 3 and fill it with nonbies and nignogs too?

And it is still cool now. In particular if compared to games with static non interactable world, where you need press "tab" to indentify which is the single interactable door you are supposed to open among the fake ones.

I don't think Owlcat is going work with WoTc any time soon, I bet they're busy working on something Warhammer related with GW. Maybe they gonna ask some no name studio to make a shovelware related to the IP.

Well, WotC will definitely want to make a BG4 at the very least, so whomst've can they hire to develop it, given that Latrine adamantly rapefuses, and Owlcrap is doing giant shoulder pads nonsense.

Obshitian?? :lol:

Lol you literally have a hate boner for everything Larian. You mad now for Larian trying to survive with Kickstarter? Company was almost bankrupt before DOS1. And the plebs got the full game, don't see how this is an L, seems more like a win win situation.

If Swen had any love of Ultima the last trace of it died before Original Sin 1 even had a full release. Once Larian had critical acclaim and money on their side further progress just stopped at barrelmancy.

A company has to make money and Larian is no exception. Tell that to the thousands of rabid fans who think Larian is made up of nothing but passion and love lol.

I had no hate for Larian at all until they touched BG3. In fact, the initial CGI trailer hyped me and I was looking forward to Larian leveling up their craft. But the gameplay reveal I got was Swen demonstrating barrelmancy on a sunny beach environment that looked strikingly identical to their previous 2 games. My hate for Larian is justified and well deserved.
