i remember when MVSC3 having locked dlc on disc was controversial, now you can’t even bat an eye at that anymore

No I mean buy an actual computer brokie

I do

Real

Like the movie industry m, there’s way too many ridiculously expensive games / movies getting made and one flop can f*** up a studio

We need double A and indies too

Or if we get triple A games, control that f***in budget

Stop supporting all these garbage GaS games and micro transactions filled games

This thread stinks, terrible angle of approach, should've talked about games launching buggy and you win that debate

Make it about games being good or not is a failure

Legend of Zelda: Tear of the Kingdom
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
Alan Wake 2
Super Mario Bros Wonder
Spider-Man 2
Baldurs Gate 3
Armored Core 6
Hogwart Legacy
Street Fighter 6

If you couldn’t find something to play this year, you just don’t like games. Starfield too if that’s your thing.

Yup. And he found a way to s*** on every one of these (think he's just been ignoring bg3 tho)

The fact that he copied and pasted that long ass s***

Starfield
Diablo IV
Final Fantasy XVI
Pikmin 4
Resident Evil 4 Remake

These guys just be talking man

Neither do I

BG3 is not from the AAA industry

AAA publishers have done everything they could to bankrupt Larian Studios because they wanted to make the games they wanted to make for 25 years at this point. It is laughable to include them here

In what world lmfaooooo

Little known indie gem - baulders gate with a small $100 million budget

Owned by $6 billion dollar yearly income tiny company wizards of the coast

Yes Baldurs Gate 3 was Independently published

Y'all are so f***ing insufferable lmao no wonder you can't have fun with video games anymore

Larian notoriously stopped working with publishers after they have been scammed by them multiple times in the early 2000s. Crowdfunding saved them from bankruptcy in 2013 and since then it was basically just the fans of an old ass genre no big publisher would ever greenlight again literally throwing money at them for the dos2 crowdfund and Baldurs gate 3 early access that allowed them to expand by 10 times in 4 years.

Their games are self published and have nothing to do with the industry. Baldurs Gate 3 is an indie title and only AAA in budget. Lumping in together with a billion $ industry as an argument for that industry is just nasty since it was only fans that allowed them to make this product

Not reading that just stop playing games if you hate em so much

Alan Wake 2 is a walking simulator Nvidia gave their nuthuggers to parade around with

Hogwarts Legacy: ass pandering to a crowd that doesn't actually play games

AC6 and Cyberpunk:PL are really the only games that are just good games with no gimmicks

SF and Mario are always going to be consistent because they're franchises and gameplay doesn't really change dramatically, so I guess you can count those if you want

I've never played BG nor am I interested in it, but I accept that it's an objectively well-made game and put it up there with AC and C:PL

Bugginess and lazy production quality both contribute to the overall quality of a game
