You know if you took a minute to actually read anything you would see that even the people who love BG3 are perfectly capable of leveling criticism at it. This isn't the Rick and Morty subreddit.
Although this thread isn't about Larian, and the issues with bg3, despite a half dozen people who keep trying to make it about that. There are lots of threads that cover that, so go to one of those.
This thread is about why Starfield is such a huge disappointment and where it failed despite a massive budget and an army of devs and 7 years and what that means for gaming.
Buddy, YOU made this thread, and you invited discussion about the issues with BG3 and Larian the moment you said that BG3 was going to get GOTY and that Bethesda needed to "learn lessons" from BG3. (In fact, now that I think of it, you came to this conclusion after Starfield had been out for all of, what, 3 days?) YOU are the number one person responsible for Larian and BG3 being discussed in this thread. YOU put those subjects *in the title!*
It's been out since September 1st - that's 12 days.
Have you even played Starfield?
Not according to google? Unless you're counting the people who had the 5-day early access from premium purchases or whatever it was. But the general release was on the 6th. And no, I haven't played Starfield, what's more I don't PLAN on playing Starfield, at least anytime soon (no suitable system to play it on at the moment unfortunately), but that doesn't stop me from being highly skeptical of someone declaring that Starfield "is a massive failure" 3 days after it launched and when all the actual hard numbers I can find about sales actually seem pretty good. For the same reason, actually, that I was extremely skeptical about the hype BG3 had on release. The people who tend to dominate the conversation very early after the release of a game are the people who have a predetermined outcome they want to advocate for (People who WANT BG3 to be game-changingly good, or WANT Starfield to be a failure). You get a more accurate picture of how the game was ACTUALLY received over time, when more normal people have the time to play it.
