  1. DONT BE FOOLED BG3 IS A NORMAL BOG STANDARD FUCKING GAME.. NOTHING NEW ABOUT ATAAAAALL other than the fact that the people who made it ARE NOT UTTER GREEDY CUNTS.

    did i mention they PLAY fucking games and love them? .. like the CEO?.. THATS the difference here.

  2. oh and on another point.. IT's never been more EASY to make a game. FACT.. and the game industry has been making more than the movie industry since the fucking 90s .. WAAY more.

  3. My favorite indie game is Stardew Valley, made by only one man. Great games are made by those who make it for people to have fun.

  4. Someone messed up at IGN this cannot happen. They said BF2042 at launch was a 7/10. lmao :shilled:

    Is the LTT bullshit check making such large waves people are straightening their ties?

    Is the consumer base getting so vocal they cannot ignore it?

    Larian killed it. I hope everyone involved is smiling as their head hits their pillow at night.

  5. All those companies had the chance to postpone being shit on by simply saying to not expect such quality from them soon because they need time to change how they work to meet those standards and then not changing.

  6. I know why game devs have been salty about great games. The devs aren't in control of what they make, they know damn well it's ass, and they want to make something good. But the higher ups won't let them. The devs then become defensive because the game isn't something they are proud of, they're ashamed. Video game devs went down this path because they love video games, they grew up playing them, they grew up as one of us. They hate that shit just as much as the rest of us, because they grew up experiencing it. The battle passes, the micro transactions. The ones to blame are the ones that own the companies.

  7. its crazy to me that a company can just be like "yeah we aren't ever gunna make a game that good so don't expect us to" imagine if samsung was like "iphones are too good we cant compare"

  8. They'll delete the video, apologize and fire that guy, I'm calling it now. IGN revels in their own filth, I don't think this brave man will be working there anymore. It'll definitely happen. I hope I'm wrong.

  9. Such a shame about destiny. Destiny 1 up to POE was probably the peak of gaming for me. Can’t even play destiny 2 for more than 20 minutes without getting sad. Such a cool world and idea just thrown away. But yea props IGN for a good take I hope to see more of it

  10. I have a very very hot take, the people making games do it for money, this is obvious which is why its also obvious why they only publish stuff that gives them the most amount of money possible and personally i find this completely fine, yea i hate that games are shit now but the only way we can fix this is STOP BUYING SHIT GAMES! we cant tell people to "make better games" if its exclusively at their expense, in absolutely no way shape or form would you as a person go out of your way and waste your own money for someone elses happiness (stranger ofc duh) if your teacher were to ask you to write your text over and make it easier to read for her you would ofc not do it if it didnt affect your grade, actually it would make your grade less since it now is less detailed, why would you ever do this? why would a developer ever do this? i think the line was crossed through when games were unplayable but even then people still buy the game and give companies money for this broken game! STOP BUYING BAD GAMES IF YOU WANT GAMES TO BE BETTER!

  11. I've always had this feeling that of all the "dream job" industries in the world, the tech industry has always had the laziest and most prideless workforce on the planet. I can't think of any other industry that people live their entire life thinking "one day, that will be my job" and then when they get the job they cry that about everything, always. Imagine a world in which people working as scientists, doctors, or any other career path acted like unmotivated mcdonalds workers. Obviously, there are always some amount of those people in all industries no matter how prestigious or lucrative, but it seems so disgustingly more pervasive in the tech industry. I find it severely disappointed that the tech bubble managed to avoid popping during the pandemic.

  12. It's because they spent over a decade crying about crunch and trying to unionize. They want to do the bare minimum and be rewarded for it, instead of figuring out how to develop feature complete games without crunch and while being under unions.

  13. when all your effort goes into multiple cycles of trying to find out how you can combine good features with microtransactions, that rake as much as possible, you have no staff left for creating the real content. Let`s be honest, larian has a few things going for them. the game mechanics are dnd, minor effort to create those in comparison to creating something from scratch, they have decided to keep microtransactions out, so a huge amount of effort is not needed and they focused on content and more content and the turned shit to 11. If Ubisoft would try with still implementing a new and unique gameplay and a transaction system to pay for all their effort, that would take three times as long with 10 times the employees.

    i totally understand their fear. god forbid we get story driven content in the future instead of the ever popular fetch quest. no way we could compete with that.

  14. Just a bizarre timeline for the industry. Initially it was such a passionate industry, kids grew up playing these and brought their passions into it, then I guess it got incorporated and now devs in the scene themselves are passionless whiners, I don't get it.

  15. Imagine if content creators did this, the lack of sympathy they'd get. "Yea I'm never gonna be as good as Charlie cause he has more money than me"

  16. I've seen so many great games never get a sequel because the devs accept bad reviews as a dislike of thr concept as opposed to player disliking the absolutely lack of effort behind these projects.

  17. My guess is that those developers know that under their current company policy it simply isn't possible to make great games. And if you cant rise up to the occasion you probably have to level the playing field otherwise. It is sad to see but somehow… unsurprising.

  18. Baldurs gate 3 dropped its early access years ago. As a big D&D fan I was cautiously optimistic but I ultimately forgot about the game until I heard about its release actually coming. I've never been more thankful for development taking its time, what a phenomenal title

  19. If the new game is just the latest in a repetitive franchise with microtransactions and you keep buying that trash you're part of the problem. Give up on Activision Blizzard and EA for starters.

  20. Meanwhile some autistic indie developer in their mom's basement is doing the art, programming, writing and game design for their personal passion project that will outcompete games with multi-million $ budgets. Indie is the way to go.

  21. A beta where the devs listened and fixed the problems leading to a finished game is indeed too high of a standard for AAA in 2023.

  22. Bethesda (fallout 76 not included) have literally made games so good they have released the same one like 7 times (which is an issue in itself). Game devs whinning that their job is too hard should not be game devs. We dont want a new game every year, we want a game that will last generations
