Thank you again for all the hard work, Larian! 2 hot fixes in a week! You guys are great!
People like you are unreal. If Larian were great they wouldn't need two hotfixes in a week. That's nine hotfixes and three patches in two months.
It's interesting to me that, in this day an age, people can still not understand technology.
Tech isn't perfect. And game devs that have already made their money have almost 0 reason to fix something after its broken.
Games are not made like they used to be. The tech is more complicated, it's harder to predict how it will react and some of the bugs, glitches, and needed fixes you all bitch about ISN'T happening to the vast majority of people playing.
So, Larian doing best-efforts to fix what they legitimately have no incentive to do, cause they've made their millions and its obvious people will continue to whine till the end of days, is a pretty awesome move that should be commended.
For those of you who need an idea of how difficult it is to do any of this, pay attention to indie devs or small teams. Compare size and scope, engines and smoothness. Even with decades of time, a smaller more passionate teams, and a small scope of game, THEY ALL RELEASE WITH BUGS. And they aren't half as good or in-depth as this game is.
If you're mad games are releasing with bugs with the multitude of platforms it has to contend with with the multitude of moments games have to now account for, then I'm sorry, video games aren't for you and maybe you should stick with comfortable 80's technology.
What condescending nonsense.
Nothing is perfect but somehow your mobile phone works, passenger aircraft work, washing machines work, your PC works, your socks work.
Games are not not made like they should be because gaming in not regulated in the way other sectors are. Game developers get away with things other types of company would not. Also imagine if Microsoft soft released, say, a version of Office that was in this state people, including the likes of you would be screaming about it.
You have exactly zero knowledge of how hard or not Larian are working on any of this. Larian are still making money from BG3, and have the XBox release in mind, which is why they are knocking out these sticking plasters.
Larian chose to make this game and make it in the way they did. Larian were not a big company when they started out and only grew because their ambition got the best of them. Hype aside, the game is not particularly special or ground-breaking in any department.
When I went to secondary school pocket calculators were the latest big thing. I retired from work as an IT technician and I have been playing computer games since before PCs.
Owlcat's Rogue Trader releases in the next week or so, let's see how that does. Meanwhile you stick your nose back up Larian's jacksie.
I'm sorry sir, I have respect for IT retirees.
But, I actually work with tech as a job in the modern day and, no offense, but it's the old tech retirees that I have the hardest time walking through simple processes because they believe they know everything when tech passed them up ages ago. Not saying you fall into that camp and I'm sure you were fantastic with tech, but a lot of what you're saying is kind of naive.
Does your phone not receive regular tech updates to squash bugs? Because if it doesn't, your phones security could be at risk, just fyi.
Additionally, PC's have glitches and bugs almost as often as video games so I don't know what rig you have but, if you're the only one with the Golden PC that's never had issues, congrats.
Had to replace my washing machine just last year cause a load was put in incorrectly and the spinning of it BROKE ITSELF.
And as far as Microsoft releasing an office that's buggy ummm....do you not remember Windows 7? Windows 8? The first release of Windows 10? And now 11?
Every single one released with shitty PC breaking bugs that needed and STILL NEED regular updates.
I'm sorry, but there is no perfect tech. None at all.
And considering video games are creating a virtual sandbox and displaying millions of pixels and animations in a single frame all at once, video games, even with their bugs, have been a triumph.
BG3 is gorgeous and, unlike other studios that let their games die on the release day chopping block and never do anything afterward, we have a few studios out there that deserve praise for not letting it go by the wayside.
Larian is doing that. And I say props to them.
Now, a 4-5 months from now, if all of their hotfixes are still not addressing game breaking bugs, then I'll eat my words because thats far too long to let that go on.
But, come on. The release the game 2 months ago with a recent release on PS5 not even a month ago. They're actively working on large patches and hotfixes all the time. Cut them some goddamn slack. I'm sure you have better things you could be doing.
