They cancelled the sequel to a game that had mediocre sales for the sequel to a game that had very good sales.

Still a criminally underrated game taken way, way, way too seriously by many people for too long. Referring to the whole upskirt achievement as a “horror story” is kinda emblematic of it - sure it’s pervy but the way it’s handled is actually like, kinda good? You get an achievement, but the game/Juliet chide you for…

Couldn’t someone just log out of Twitch to watch the stream? Or am I missing something?
Edit: The linked GameSpot article points out this is entirely possible. I guess it’s a good first step, anyway...

Not sure who this article is for? Congratulations, that’s how you feel about your own creativity? This article has a curious Art House Film quality to it, as in you made it for yourself and like five other human beings on Earth.

Well, considering the game is made for a mass audience and not strictly for elitist DMs I think using the most popular system is perfectly acceptable, necessary even. The author doesn’t tell us why it doesn’t feel right, just that it’s too mainstream for their tastes. It seems ridiculous to me that a video game…

The entire argument here is that the author (who writes about video games for a living) doesn’t want to play a universally celebrated video game because it’s too similar to another game they like to play? OK?

This is a bad take, imo. If you like the game, play it. If you’d rather write your Pathfinder campaign, write it. Neither is competing to take attention away from the other, you just are hitting the time management needed to juggle the two. If you can’t make the time for both or you feel friction from giving the game…

I understand the sentiment but I think it’s worth remembering that the number of people actively a D&D campaign (or any TTRPG) is dwarfed by the number of people that are going to play BG3. And then compare that to the number of people who are currently GM-ing. It’s not a unique situation, but it’s definitely...…

Did it bother you how you wasted time writing this article that could have been spent on your RPG campaign?

Then don’t play it or play the pathfinder game. 

Playing video games is your job.  Boo Hoo. 

As for Romance it’s pretty much the same reason why majority of players went with Miranda for example in Mass Effect 2, she was the traditional good looking human. Instead of Jack.

I would have assumed more people going with the Dark Urge character, I see that’s not listed as an Origin on their chart though.

Yup. I didn’t pick up Hogwarts, because it’s not the kind of thing I wanted to put money towards, but this is such an inane article. Shocking news: single player RPG isn’t a live-service game!

It’s a single player RPG, and like the headline says it’s been 6 months after release with several high profile games that have launched in the interim and soaked up the limelight.

Can you imagine Luke Skywalker singing? Probably not.

Star Trek has been garbage for 20 years or so. ‘Taking risks’ by letting any and every hack take a turn writing garbage is not ‘flourishing’.

Obligatory:

Star Trek? Taking risks? Uhhh...
