And due to inflation, the $60 we spent in 2020 will have the purchasing power of ~$67 in 2023, meaning we'll actually have paid $7 more for the game! Typical AAA company, charging near $70 for their game smh.
Yes, isn't it just wonderful that the EA customers will effectively be paying more for the game then the people who buy it on release due to inflation.
....in the interim try "Low Magic Age" - man dont know how I missed that little gem - if you like tabletop D&D and 3.5 edition rules (yes some homebrew but it still alot of fun) - definitely old school but cheap as chips and very addictive.....
Looks interesting but I'm all out of energy for EA games at this point. Also lol holy fuck if you think BG3 will be in EA for a long time, this Low Magic Age has been in EA for 5 years! Wtf
This is likely indicative of many of those who rattle off the need to let the developers take all the time they need even if it means the game eventually gets dropped because they don't feel any pressure to finish it. It seems their is a segment of gamers out their that believe that game production is art and should never be put under pressure. They are wrong though, pressure inspires greatness, and once you accept money for your product you put that pressure on yourself, and should face consequences like any other industry when you fail to produce. BG3 will be what it will be, but if Larian is pressure free, why should they bother to even try to make a great game?
That being said, after learning more about this company, I have serious doubts this will be a great RPG with meaningful choices and consequences. Larian and WotC appear to be firm supporters of the woke movement, and those who support this movement tend to water down everything into bland boring impersonal interactions. Hoping I'll be surprised, but I'd rather prepare for the worst. It could still be a fun game, and a great platform for DMs to create interesting content though.
