the game was always good, if you played on hardware that could run it well

It doesn’t matter if they did it for every single game before. The current context is more important, and this only reads as a lower-effort version of what Larian just did. If you’re a stand-up comedian playing a club, and you wrote an “original joke”, and then someone else just before you goes on stage and does a…

Tau Ceti? just glad they didnt bring back that astrophage

Coming so directly on the heels of BG3 doing this exact stunt, this just feels incredibly lame. Larian has a history of elaborate jokes and puns in their community notes, whereas this just feels so forced and unnatural, like a really bad case of “hello, fellow kids” from an executive that just hopes everyone has the…

Meanwhile, I’ve played 80 hours of Baldur’s Gate 3 on my Deck and have been having a wonderful time.

The real question is... ... ...

Not to mention “lets reuse content we already made (for d1)” is so engrained into the D2 content pipeline that you’d have to forgive fans for being skeptical that it WASN’T unreleased TQW content repurposed for lightfall.

I love Luke, but “don’t preorder” as a blanket statement has always been a fringe view, the overwhelming majority of people don’t follow it (just look at top sales charts when a big game is still in preorder and look at where that game ranks), and that article was written right after Steam’s first refund policy…

If this is true, then that just makes the integration of Strand in Lightfall feel even more ham-fisted. Thematically, Strand just fits better in Witch Queen’s narrative IMO. 

Well, I am glad you enjoy it. But you opinion is definitely not the norm.

It is also one of the worst AAA games on Steam, coincidence?

The concept of spending tens of millions of dollars to produce and film entire projects and just saying “Nah” at the last second is absolutely baffling to me. THE PRODUCERS WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A HOW-TO MANUAL!!!!!!!

God there's such a huge disconnect between what the majority of modern gamers want and what the heads of these studios want. All of these studios heads bragging about the length of their tedious open world games are meant with frustration and a sense of being overwhelmed. We don't want longer games! There are too many…

Everyone has a “hate boner” because they have earned one at this point, Bethesda game studios has not put out a game without issues for a long time, and needing Moddershall to fix your shit over and over is lazy development (some Bethesda games years apart have had the same bugs)

If a game doesn’t really get going until around 50 hours once the main quest is done, then shouldn’t the main quest be better?

Is this meant to be complimentary of the game? “You have to spend 50-100 hours playing through the main quest before you’re really going to be able to get into the game.” Why should it take that long for a game to get exciting?

The writing for GTA went seriously downhill with V. It felt like a parody of a GTA game.

It’s just Twitter fam

I mean, it’s satire. You’re supposed to hate little Jimmy.

You missed OP’s point - we shouldn’t EVER call it X.  It’s Twitter and forever will be, no matter how much Elongated Musk wants to claim otherwise.
