This stuff just boggles my mind. Why on earth would you want BG3 to be made by obsidian?
If you want RTWP then maybe go with owlcat. but obsidian has shown qutie well that they are incapeable of making good games and they are out of touch with the CRPG audience. Laud them as much as you want for beeing conservative in mechanics, their writing isnt winning any awards with the fan base.
and cheap? you realy think this is cheap? Do you even understand how much the larian team has expanded for this?
Why am i even typing this. This is bait.
Hi friend,
There is a saying that goes like this: "DON'T FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN"
BG1 and BG2 were not broken games.
What every fan of BG was expecting from BG3 was to take the very successful BG formula and IMPROVE on that to make BG3.
NOBODY was expecting that Larian would make a CHEAP move and just use its DOS template and call it BG.
Do you remember what happened with the Diablo franchise maybe? After legendary D1 and D2 games, a new dev team comes to "reinvent" things, and then makes D3, a complete cartoony-looking disaster. Now they are making D4 according to the "original" D1 and D2 recipe. Why, because it worked.
The same thing will happen with this "BG3" i.e. "DOS3" - they also made BG3 look like a cartoon.
What Larian has done (marketing DOS3 named as BG3) - in my book, resembles FALSE ADVERTISING.
They just hyped a lot of old BG fans up with false advertising. Larian, do you really think people are that stupid?
So what if they expanded their team and have a bigger budget? It is still a cheap move.
Larian, be honest and stop calling this game BG3!!!
Alright, I seen this argument before.
Diablo 3 was a huge success and sold over 20 million copies over all platforms, making it one of the most sold games of all times (MC and PUBG is ahead). To compare, Diablo 1 and 2 sold around 6 million copies (2 for D1 and 4 for D2)
The only ones that thought it was a HUGE FAILURE was a smaller group of Diablo 2 fans. Something is not a failure because YOU don't like it.
You simply cannot just make up your own definition of "Failure".
And if you want to bring up the point of Diablo 2 coming out in 2000, fair enough. It sold well for that year, but it is still 7 million copies behind The Sims.
