Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3 is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic role-playing games in years & many devs are criticizing the scale/scope of it!
Interesting video describing various developers’ take on the game. Is it a genre-defining game or not?
Because they don’t want to be held to the new standard, obviously. They’re comfortable and are preemptively taking offense at the idea of having to do more in the future. Like the normal kids who want to punch down the one overachiever who reminds the teacher to assign homework.
But this isn’t a homework assignment; these are businesses competing for consumer dollars, and Larian is winning with their investment into a happy team and good product.
