They literally are arguing against Baulder's Gate 3 because they want it to be the same game they played 20 years ago. They are literally saying 'it has to be more like BG 1& 2!' and 'It's not a real BG without RTwP!' and 'It does not LOOK like BG' (which is 20 years old, mind you, and this game is still in pre-alpha, but sure; bash placeholder graphics), and '100 years later? That's not a sequel!'.
I will add my 2 cents.
I am fine with Larian doings their new game in DnD setting. Them using Baldur’s Gate3 IP, doesn’t kill me, but it is not BG3.
My problem isn’t with 3D engine, graphical aesthetic and turn based combat. My problem is that BG1&2 and BG3 don’t belong to the same genre.
BG1&2 were singleplayer, story driven RPGs build using DnD engine. Larian’s games are multiplayer, system driven, sandbox RPGs. None of those are not bad by definition, but they are different and they appeal to different audience.
If Uncharted5 were released and it was multiplayer hero shooter, people would be pissed. It might be a great game, but people who waited for Uncharted5 would undoubtedly be disappointed.
I had a great time playing D:OS1 with a friend, and I am looking forward to booting up D:OS2 this summer, when my gaming friend visits. BG3 is something we will add to the list of trying out. But for people wanting BG3 - it is not it. It a multiplayer Larian RPG set in Baldur’s Gate setting, potentially using some inspiration from those legendary series... but in the last 20 years what RPG didn’t do that.
It looks fantastic BTW.
