Why are game developers complaining that a new game is too good? What the frick is wrong with western devs? Why are they so lazy and resentful?

>YOU CAN'T JUST HOLD US TO THE STANDARDS OF A PASSIONATE "A" COMPANY WIHT A "DOUBLE A" FUNDING!!!! WE ARE ONLY SMALL INDI AAA COMPANIES! WE CAN'T COMPETE AGAINST THAT! HOW WILL OUR CEOS GET TWO HUNDRED+ MILLION EACH YEAR WITH A 3 BILLION TIP FOR THE COMPANY BUYOUT?????
Get fricked AAA companies. Baldur's Gate 3 is what WoW was in 2004.
If Larian, especially /ourguy/ Swen, stays true to their values, we could see Ubisoft, Activision/Blizzard, and the RPG part of EA go bankrupt in the near future.
Just imagine Larian brings out a new IP that directly challenges World of Warcraft. The gaming industry would change forever and ten years later no one would remember the name "Blizzard".
>Get fricked AAA companies. Baldur's Gate 3 is what WoW was in 2004.
Garbage that ruined videogames?
I like to imagine Larian helming the next KOTOR game. It'll never happen, but I like to imagine..
>kotor 1, 2 and finally 3 all rolled into 1 game
I'd wait 10 years for that.
Given how Baldur's Gate was an OG Bioware game, it's entirely possible.
Nah theyre making kotor remake into a trash AAA ‘cinematic’ experience with all the classic rpg elements gutted from it and simplified plus action combat, Disney will demand all their Star Wars games are like this. So I doubt we will get any good Star Wars rpgs ever again.
Kotor remake had been declared dead and its team disbanded months ago
No they took the project away from aspyr but it’s been taken up by sabre interactive, there is no confirmation. It has been cancelled.
lel, they also cried when btow came out of the fuse system
what the frick with these c**ts, back then people got excited and try to outdo each other
>, we could see Ubisoft, Activision/Blizzard, and the RPG part of EA go bankrupt in the near future.
this is a pipe dream because of normalgays
>BG3 defender also defends BotW
Many such cases.
i think normies have been getting fed up with assassin's creed for a while and dragon age as been a zombie since 2 came out,the only people who care about dragon age are the people who just want a non japanese dating sim to play because they certainly dont care about anything else
>Ganker loves a troony game with reddit dialogue
Delusional idiot or just too young to understand the industry
>NOOOOOOOOO! YOU CAN'T HOLD THE STANDARDS OF AN AA STUDIO THAT HAS JUST EMBARASSED PRACTICALLY ALL AAA STUDIOS HIGHER THAN OUR AAA MASTERS! YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE INDUSTRY YOU UNDERAGE homosexual!
BG3 is a wake up call the industry needed. These fricks have been getting lazier and lazier year after fricking year.
you are a worthless moron shill
>S-SHILL! YOU'RE A SHILL
Cry more homosexual. It's the truth and you know it
you are a worthless moron shill
>Just imagine Larian brings out a new IP that directly challenges World of Warcraft. The gaming industry would change forever and ten years later no one would remember the name "Blizzard".
You're 14 and moronic. Why are people still bringing up WoW? That game traumatized so many the wow killer meme is still around 15 years later. You know who was the wow killer? Blizzard.
Or less pretentiously, time.
Anyway most studios are one trick ponies as evidenced by CDPR especially or even Bethesda. They're good at one thing and that's it.
It is also entirely possible they cannot scale beyond AA effectively and have plateaued already. Game development specifically isn't as easy as just throwing more people at it. But then again you're 14
No 14 year old is going to bring up WoW, it hasn't been in the zeitgeist in years.
On a related note. Will we actual get a DLC/expansion for BG3?
The expansion packs were the best part of all the old CRPGs that had them (Hordes of the Underdark, Mask of the Betrayer), so it'd be pretty cool
How high should the level cap be raised?
Larian says the game is complete but after seeing the success I doubt they won't make any DLC... A DLC where you travel through the planes would be mega kino.
>DLC
Why are you so consoomerbrained? They have an entire setting to play with. They'll just make another game.
And that game will be titled Icewind Dale 3.
They don't want to make another game of this scope right now. Sven already said this.
Then another Icewind Dale fits the bill perfectly, since it would've been a much more linear, and combat heavy, game.
Also, when talking "of that cope" remember they had to figure out mechanics, animations, basic assets, lighting etc. This is all fully done. Plus they have thousands upon thousands of assets ready.
So another game will have much less to actually create from scratch.
I think he meant they are not in the mindset right now to jump the whole studio into another 4-5 years endeavour. Your team needs to be passionate to create a good game and they probably want to break into smaller stuff a little. Those assets and codebase will still be there later.
this is true but for a game like this the game assets and level design are a very small part of the whole thing. they're also done by different people. implementing quests in this engine looks painful as frick.
>Normal gays who love eating shit cease to eat EAs FyIFA shit and Ubisoft AC shit
I dont think so
>Baldur's Gate 3 is what WoW was in 2004.
Goyslop?
If Larian becomes big like the AAA studios, then they just become like them. Just look at CD projekt red

You moron.
i dont understand why DOS2 didnt get the same ammount of praise, this is just DOS3 wearing a Baldurs Gate Skin suit. Is it because DoS2 didnt have a overblown marketing budget?
Yeah pretty much
Yeah it's fairly similar other than the small dialogue scenes (which I prefer to what DOS had). I actually prefer some aspects of DOS even (mainly battle system, I find more boring in BG3)
DOS2 didnt had explicit sex with bears
neither does BG3
Aka marketing
But it did have sex with lizards
I haven't played DOS2 yet and haven't even finished the first game.
I like the artstyle in BG3 more looks less cartoony, never been into anything DnD related before I find it to be a decent gateway into something resembling a table top RPG when played multiplayer with friends.
I didn't find the woke shit to be whiny and preachy, so it was easy to ignore and enjoy the setting.
What the frick are you fricking on about people, literally one of the best rated games on steam and by critics too sitting at probably top 10 PC games released last decade. Just because Baldurs Gate and Dungeons & Dragons are "sell" and they marketed this game insanely well, does not mean DOS2 isn't beloved by consumers and critics alike. Hell, it was DOS2 hype back in ~2019 that made me finally give DOS1 a go and DOS2 quickly became one of my all time faves even if first playthrough on Tactician was a terrible call.
adding to that, DOS2 is literally sitting at #21-37th (a lot of gmaes sitting at 93 lol) on Metacritic's all time list
https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/pc/filtered
like you can't possibly be this fricking dense to think this is all out of thin air. It's like when a band keeps dropping good albums and finally pop off and people refuse to realize their past greatness.
>IT'S POPULAR BRO!!!!!!!!!
I don't care what normies like. Most of these people who praised DOS2 and gave it high ratings probably didn't even play to the end and see how it gets more and more garbage as you pass the halfway point.
are you fricking moronic?
said "why dos2 didnt get the same amount of praise" I just said it clearly did it just didn't get the same amount of marketing and wasn't as popular? When BG3 is a slightly better game and got marketed to shit.
but yes I agree, the game got worse in the last third and since I was taking my time exploring every nook and crany on Tactician too my gametime bubbled up to +120 hours and by the time I was towards the end I just wanted it to end. It's still incomparably better than DOS1 on every front and DOS1 is already a 7.5/10+
It didn't get these obvious shill articles like "All other devs are mind blown and seething at larian"
>this is just DOS3 wearing a Baldurs Gate Skin suit.
BG3 looks miles better than DOS2 which was 100% top down with no close ups/cut scenes so the texture details and animations were really simple
DOS2 was a huge success and people praised it. BG3 had so much momentum thanks to DOS2.
DOS2 got a stupid amount of praise and is one of the biggest reasons why people got so hyped for BG3. The digital deluxe edition of BG3 is full of items from DOS2 and I've even seen a painting of the Red Prince at that Flaming Fist mansion in Act 1 just hanging there for no reason.
You're a fricking moron. Not only is BG3 3-4 times bigger than DOS2, the combat and ruleset is also many times more complex than DOS. I urge you to go play DOS and you will see how extremely simple the combat is in comparison, it has like 20% of 5ed options at most.
DOS combat was much more easier to get into the BG3.
But I get the appeal of BG3 combat though, cuz after a few hours it clicks and it makes yah feel smart.
>dos1 comes out, people play it, it's good, so people recommend it to friends
>dos2 comes out, people who enjoyed dos1 play it, plus all the people who got dos1 recommended to them, but didn't get it. They enjoy it so they recommend it to friends
>bg3 comes out, all the dos1 and dos2 players buy it, and all the people who got dos1 and 2 recommended to them but didn't get those
Your typing style makes it look like you have a room temperature IQ.
>room temperature IQ.
you know weve been in the middle of a heat wave right. Room Temp is easily over 100 rn
Its not even that good. The fact they cant meet even those standards should really make them think.
people here really do fall for the easiest marketing tricks in the world
Another canny Ganker consumer here.

>another shill thread
>game devs scared the higher ups will want the impossible
wow. its nothing new.
>disgusted by harmless tiny maggots
Wimp, how can you possibly call yourself a man?
>is too good
It's shit though
Yeah if this is the peak of the turn based / computer RPG genre, I'll pass. I was pretty hyped at first but I'm burning out on the bullshit. There's definitely some cool ideas and interesting mechanics, but ultimately it fails to be an immersive roleplaying experience and it fails to be an enjoyable game. I keep trying these games but they're always shit. It's no wonder the genre died off for so long and remains niche.
honestly really good bait, too bad its in a dead thread
Nice bait, homosexual. BG3 is practically as close as you're gonna get to playing tabletop DnD while still having nice visuals.
They can't make RPGs with good writing if they keep leaning on this LLM garbage
can't stand BG3's writing
>NOOO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HATE EVERY BIG GAME!
wow such a big cope, prob from lazy devs that doesnt want to include graphic sex in their RPGs
Sure the scope is big, but the quality of the writing and animations suffer.
same stuff happens with Animated shows.
everyone keeps quality at 3/4 so the audience doesn't realize their shows are lower quality than they should be.
release a show or game at 1/1 and it makes everyone look bad.
it's not even that great. the art direction is atrocious, the writing is "meh", there's a bunch of systems that could have been dropped entirely or at least tidied up a lot. There's just a lot of content (presumably).
BG3 is just the flavor of the month. By September everyone has already forgotten it
It's not Rockstar level of scope.
They literally still re-use assets from the fricking Dragon Knight games that no one remembers.
It's the same shit that FromSoftware did. Elden Ring re-uses assets from their last 6 fricking games which freed space to add a big world.
BG3 is just DOS2 v2.0. that was being made for 6 years now.
It was made by a "western" dev you esl moron
the western devs are the ones complaining, eslkun
>rockstar level nonsense
larian is a small indie studio
Which devs? The kind that hands out coffee and fixes small bugs while everyone else is having lunch?
Not falling for your marketing campaign tactics btw.
Because it shows how lazy and talentless they are now.
The gameplay is paper thin and the dialogue is Dragon Age 2 tier. Are you homosexuals kidding me?
I'm waiting on Rogue Trader.
>I'm waiting on Rogue Trader.
Enjoy your Russian spyware.
>play game
>it's only three acts with five different areas and a dozen locations total
And THIS is the "scope" that the industry is having trouble coping with?
>play minecraft
>its only one world
fricking small ass game lol
You thought that was a smart comparison.
Very, very sad.
nah it was a dumb comparison for your dumbass post moron
I think after TOTK this is a new marketing tactic: just claim that "game devs" (read: the kind of guys who hand out coffee, do paperwork and do little mundane tasks like fixing small bugs or modelling horse balls than actual developer can't be arsed with and would rather have lunch at the moment) are absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the most mundane, commonplace shit in your game, then reap the profits from free advertising the internet will do for you.
>Spend the better part of a decade shitting out subpar slop with one company actually putting effort in
>Suddenly a AA studio drops a revival of a CRPG classic that has 100% more content, polish, effort than anything they've shit out this past decade
>Immediately go on damage control and say it's a one time thing and that they are an anomaly like Rockstar
AAA studios are scared of Baldur's Gate 3 becoming the new gold standard in terms of content, story and overall polish. This is a good thing
you are a worthless moron shill
Why is half this thread just AAA slop fanboys trying to desperately insist BG3 is bad?
>Something is popular
>Ganker hates it, and because it's popular it MUST be bad
Basically they're Plebbit hipsters.
The game doesn't even have half the content of Pillars of Eternity and other devs are already going into apology mode saying "there's no way they can measure up to this"?
What the frick is WRONG with the industry?
there is no industry. we're currently in the middle of the crash. this is what it looks like. there's more money than ever before, every development tool you could possibly ask for is free, and yet it's all TOO HARD.
Does that mean developers just rack a disciprine?
they sure rack a someting (ritalin and HRT meds probably)
>Developers
They're also being managed poorly.
AAA is dead. 6th and 7th gen saw a rapid bleed of management and development talent because it was simply no longer needed. The Microsoft EEE agenda promised significant stasis in the console market and it became more important to create games that played themselves and distracted the player with shiny things, combine this with the rising presence of more easy to use tools and ready-made engines and you have a recipe for some easy short-term growth that will collapse in on itself once the stagnation reveals itself as untenable.
I fricking hope that with the emergence of cross-play pitting controllers against mice, normalgays start realizing that they've only been pretending to actually play videogames on their consoles but I somehow doubt it. Dark Souls was a minor disruption in the fetid pool of 7th gen game development but all it has really done is pollute game journalist vocabulary.
Fricking Nurgle worship skewing test results. Getting turned on by maggots and shit.
Frick Chaos.
controllers are much better than mkb you moronic shill
>Devs balance the game for consoles to make the health of stationary objects like sentry guns are lower, so that console players can actually destroy them
>Context sensitive prompts that trigger when you're vaguely near interactable objects
>Generous aim assist and bullet magnetism
>Games are primarily slow military shooters with heavily pre-determined movement to avoid forcing rapid cursor movement and even then the simple act of a player going completely prone at the drop of a hat was considered too advanced for console players at the time to compensate for.
>Game includes a cover system so that the console player has generous amounts of time to line their cursor up with the enemies that intermittently pop their heads out of cover
>Game includes a stealth system so that the console player can slowly move up behind an enemy and contextually kill them without even having to aim at anything
Yeah, sure. They're better at everything. Definitely. The analog stick definitely isn't something that can be replaced with a walk key and the use of the mouse definitely doesn't allow much better control over where you're actually going. The arena shooter definitely wasn't replaced with the slow military shooter because of console controllers, it was just modern design trends.
Face it anon, console controllers couldn't aim for shit before gyro if the game wasn't holding their hand all the way.
Your boring point and click slop doesn’t constitute the entirety of gaming, and your alternative died out completely for glorified MOBAs. Maybe get a better argument than just whining about how your ego is bruised because you can’t bomb jump anymore.
It's also impacted practically anything that was ported to console and would have required moving around a cursor or being precise with your character's orientation. There's a reason why Bamham style games with their practically automated combat became so popular and it's because they played themselves compellingly while still making you "feel like Batman" or like an assassin or whatever.
Even recent games that aren't shooters heavily automate their movement as seen in the new GoW games or the Star Wars games that end up dragging your character to a target.
Games have been refining context sensitivity and trying to get it to line up with player intention for years now.
Controllers suck for FPS, but BG3 plays better with a controller than mkb
>CRPG fans thought this is the game that will bring CRPG back, it's gonna make CRPG mainstream again
>Turned out it's killing CRPG left & right because nobody can match their budget & result
Enjoy the death of your genre, crpg gays.
Are the Shills in the room right now anon?
Yes, they're all over this board sucking off a game with gay shit in it.
Hack devs latched onto the CRPG revival because it meant they didn't have to do much modeling and animation work, everything is zoomed out as frick and you look at portraits and text. Then in comes Larian and does everything CRPGs do and adds in Bioware style cinematic dialogue and cutscenes.
This is why they're seething. They now have to step up their game instead of lazily hiding behind the CRPG tag.
But the facial expression is not even good.
And I notice that the blood on your companion's face is not even wipe off, like they don't care about it at all.
>And I notice that the blood on your companion's face is not even wipe off, like they don't care about it at all.
Like literally every other game with blood splatter
Oh, I mean when you're in camp.
Not in the middle of battle or right after it.
On the one hand I know I will never play this homosexualfest goyslop and I hate the gameplay and character design to its core
On the other hand its both entertaining and enlightening watching all the """good""" developers getting triggered by their own insecurities and perceived threat to their lazy chicanery
millennials have always made a priority of dragging everyone down to average. there can be no standouts, no exceptional people, because those people make everyone else feel like they're lesser and inadequate (they are) and that's not allowed in millennialtopia where everyone gets a trophy and is a hero for existing.
>Why are game developers complaining that a new game is too good? What the frick is wrong with western devs? Why are they so lazy and resentful?
Because half of them are lazy homosexuals who only give a shit about video games if they can milk their paypigs with microtransactions and lootboxes and the other half desperately want to make movies but lack the talent so they're stuck making movies in video game form.
Can someone please explain to me why baldur's gate 3 is good in a non-hater way? I've played baldur's gate 1 as a kid and it was great
Everyone love BBC
Big Bear wiener
High production values.
Also one thing no one mentions but i think it's important is the Hook at the start. It's well written because it puts so many questions in your head that you just want to play more to answer them. Good variety to characters and dialogue (which always feel natural for the characters) also helps.
Because it's an actually role-playing game where the player has agency. Rather than modern games that LARP as RPGs where you're choices are "le good" / "le bad" and doesn't impact anything anyway.
It's almost as if normal people don't like being exposed to the abnormality of homosexualry, but usually don't care enough to voice dislike because 99% of their lives are spent not having to deal with that filth.
Just starting the game now, does anyone know if I can change my body type? The actual body type like height, weight etc not that bullshit one
Nope.
Changing height/weight doesn't help market the game.
gee i'm so glad that I can change how my dick looks but can't change being a lanket skinny elf... nice
lmao for real? HAHAHAHAHA they give you moronic nonsense like vetiligo and dozen variants of Black person hair but you can't change your fitness levels and height
you can be regular guy or big guy, that's it for body customization ... well that and the whole penis type c thing
amazing, can't wait to start a monk run with a guy that has sticks for arms
most monks are sticks so that's just an unflattering accuracy.

I WALK A LONELY ROAD, THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN
The suits typically don't allow the games of the genre to grow too big during development because the projected returns are too low. Larian had tons of money and time. Which is honestly a good thing. I'd love a less saturated market with bigger, more polished games, rather than what we have now. Maybe this will stir the market up a bit, prompting the other copycats to follow Larian with similar business strategies and development practices, which is what usually happens.
there is a 0% chance that other publishers with money are going to pump up a mostly independent studio with hundreds of millions of dollars to make a CRPG and give them oversight.
it's just not going to happen. that's what's making people salty.
Because a game made by roughly 400 boomer Belgians on a AA budget with little marketing, mustering nearly a million players on Steam and doing arguably the best job of emulating DnD's mechanics as a video game can, with zero content cutting and selling it as MTX DLC bullshit, puts this entire industry to fricking shame.
Big studios don't want you to accept this as the standard because it puts them in an even worse light than they already are. So they have to gaslight and pretend what Larian achieved is just a once in a lifetime completely impossible standard that not even devs with thousands of staff members and hundreds of millions of dollars could hope to achieve.
You realize BG3 had more 6 times as many people working on it than Skyrim right? "AA budget" fricking lmao.
Even more impressively It had more than twice the peak employee count than Horizon a game which cost more than $200M to make.
People referring to this as a 'indie' or 'AA budget' game are moronic.
>AAA gaming standards have not changed in the past decade and a half
>Calling anybody else moronic
Rockstar has 2000 employees.
>Horizon
>past decade and a half
??? What did ShillGPT mean by this.
>B-BUT HORIZON
Cherrypicking at its finest. Rockstar, EA, Ubisoft, Activision, 2K, all of them have thousands of employees.
>Doesn't know the difference between a publisher and studios
Amazing
>Rockstar is a publisher
HOLY FRICKING moron
400 devs, anon.
By comparison, Halo Infinite had 1300. The average modern Ubisoft game has 1500.
>Halo Infinite had 1300
So, that's wrong, I just checked, they had 750 across multiple development teams including developing their own game engine.
So It's very, very likely BG3 still had more people working on it than Halo Infinite.
Judging from the quality of halo infinite im surprised its over 20 people. They had 750 people and 0 network engineers seesh or people who have played even one game.
You did a poor job checking that information. 343 wasn't the only one who worked on Infinite, the game was also developed by at least two third party contractors, one Russian studio and one Indian studio. Totalling roughly 1300 employees. This is the entire reason Halo Infinite was stuck in development purgatory for six months, because 343 couldn't even figure out the code base the Pajeets had injected into the game.
nope, 1200+ minimum is the estimate from insiders, 343 had help from subcontractors.
as if we needed any more proof that more employees does not mean more game.
look at star citizen, their development speed seems inversely proportional to their employee count.
>look at star citizen, their development speed seems inversely proportional to their employee count.
It's Roberts retirement plan.
He is never going to finish developing it because people are still stupid enough to give him money.
That sleazy used car salesman still hasn't released Squadron 42 which was supposed to be released in 2014.
they still haven't finished the bedsheet animations anon, just you wait, it's going to be great!
>bear’s gay 3
Shill thread.
Let me guess its horizon devs screeching again, first Elden ring now bg3 kek
Do I need to play bg1 and 2? Are the games connected?
It's fine to jump in. The story has it's own legs.
connected in that they're in the same universe. this isn't even really a sequel. there's some lore references to previous games but that's about it.
No
Where's your argument though, lil bro? So far all you have is "game bad updoot pls"
Well nobody wants any expectations so they can keep releasing same shit. Its like opera levels of drama, western devs crying when japs make elden ring because it doesnt have popup tutorials, then they cry baldurs gate is too HARD to make when they do everything they wanted but better. Also the devs who cry are always the ones who make the most bland and boring games. PSYCHOLOGICALLY ANALYZING PLAYERS AND BEHAVIOURS IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO MAKE A GAME.
This sounds like "Native Advertising" to sell an over hyped badly written rpg rather than a serious article.
It’s a phenomenon of western culture now where people should are not allowed to be challenged or pushed from their comfort zone, basically the devs have this new snowflake mindset. I wouldn’t be surprised if they coined a new term like ‘dev shaming’ or something. The game consumers have to check their privilege and not expect universal improvement in standards because that’s discriminatory against devs who don’t want to push themselves. Of course this whole mentality is deluded and market forces will screw over any dev teams that develop this dumb culture. But yeah it’s just another example of this persecution complex creatives seem to have.
troony SISTERS WE NEED TO STOP BG3. MAKE MORE SHITTY THREADS
has anyone powered through the game yet?
I'd like to know in advance what I can expect narrative and content wise. if it's going to be a mega front loaded RPG with the last third of the game some linear dungeon crawl I would like to know so I can temper my expectations somewhat. It just feels a lot like this is what is going to happen, based on what I've seen so far.
Jesus anon, give me a minute to put up a screen before you start projecting this hard.
>vast experience and resources
hold on, this is the same fricking company that 10 years ago had to go to kickstarter to fund Divinity Original Sin
its true they are experienced, but they werent particularly wealthy, and if they were, they reached that point through the Original Sin games, which were crowdfunded

I think everyone is misunderstanding everything, pretty sure the article is saying

>a shit mid game is too hard to be coped
How talentless are westoid devs?
I don't get this thing of devs openly sharing their feelings on anything game related. I really wish they'd just shut the frick up.
Raising the bar means less people want older garbage and more want newer shiny. Eldin Ring killed off Open World games that are undetailed outside of Zelda since it's Zelda
They've been spending almost 2 decades now slowly bringing the bar down, making people expect less and less from the games they buy. Obviously they'd be upset about a game that tries to raise the bar.
>It's rockstar level nonsense for scope
It was early access.
Why though, Bethesda and any other AAA should be matching and outpacing this. The reason this game is good is because of the people who made it making these kinds of games for over a decade, where AAA has made it normal to just demand studios make games they have no fricking experience of
>we need an RPG, lets just get whatever studio we have free to make it. I know they have no experience in this genre but they made a successful game in the past
No, get the right fricking people not just whoever is around. The fact that this has to be said is incredible because they never do it.
