Problem with that is, the feedback needs to be about something for it to hold water. If all the feedback that a person has, is that its not baldurs gate because it doesent feel like baldurs gate then....uh....ok. Wtf are we supposed to do with that? What are the developers supposed to do with that?
As has been mentioned elsewhere, none of us are gate-keepers of what is legitimate or helpful feedback and what is not. A person's opinion that the game does not feel like it should, if it is to be considered as the game it is claiming to be, is feedback - and if many people share that opinion, even if they do not or cannot articulate it well, then that it very important feedback. Neither you, nor anyone else here, have any right to attack anyone else or demean their thoughts and opinions, or to attempt to act as any kind of gatekeeper about what's valid and what isn't: unless you are an actual Larian employee, you don't have that information. Beyond that, stating those thoughts and opinions is why we are all here in the first place.
But alot of it isent that. Alot of it is: its to much like divnity. And theyre saying that to the studio that made divinity. [...]
The few times people do elaborate further they bring in things that were never promised, dont make a title a baldurs gate title, cant really be narrowed down because people dont know themselves or have nothing to do with the game at all, etc etc. Mostly it comes to how their expectations havent been met somehow. Ive been playing the game since it came out, taking time off the game after playthroughs so I dont burn myself out but it seems these arguments just dont die down. They (generally) still cant narrow down what it is exactly that feels off to them and if anything, theyre just repeating themselves over and over.
I would strongly encourage you to take some time to browse the feedback section more carefully, read some of the threads, and actually take a look at the mountains, upon mountains, of serious, well-considered and analytical threads full of people discussing, in great depth and detail the aspects of this game and its design philosophy, implementation, aesthetic, functionality, style and other elements there beside which they feel do not work, are unsatisfying or detract from the game in various different ways.
Most of the highly critical posters reiterate various points in brief because they have already been discussed in great detail, and it is presumed by this point that most people participating in the conversations are up to date on this and have availed themselves of those many and varied threads before deciding to go on the offensive at others. (And honestly, because it is exhausting to have to re-write the salient points of a scholarly essay, and cover the relevant details sufficiently, again and again each time a new person pops up trying to claim that the critics are just haters with no real arguments, without having taking the time to actually look at what has been said and take it in...)
The arguments and complains continue because the issues they spring from continue, without address. There is no shortage here of threads wherein various elements of the game are picked apart with honest, detailed examination and found wanting, and the reasons why they are poor choices, bad designs, or otherwise detrimental to the game as a whole are gone into at length. Claiming that the highly critical posters never have any real arguments, and never articulate anything properly just makes you look like you're speaking with your eyes closed - either overtly disingenuous, or wilfully ignorant.

That said, the above exchange seems to be getting nowhere, to my eye at least, and all that's happening is that people on both sides are getting increasingly, and pointlessly, antagonistic towards each other as a result... let's try to keep this friendly and positive if we can. If you love what Larian are doing here, that's great - but that's not an excuse to shout down or shut down other people who aren't feeling as rosy as you about what they're seeing and experiencing. Remember that for the most part, everyone who is taking the time and effort to post here, on these forums, is doing so as someone who either loves this game, or who wants to love this game - those who think that it's great right now and are excited for it to succeed, or else those who very much want it to succeed and be great and want the game to be the very best it can be. We're actually, ultimately, all on the same side here - sometimes you just have to step back far enough to see it. It's worth doing, especially any time you find yourself getting into an increasingly antagonistic quote-to-quote post exchange with someone.
