Games

Read: We're just a clueless corporation but we intend to bleed this thing dry to pay for our yatchs.

Y'all ready for a decade of moderately to incredibly broken, brain dead, pushed out the door for a quick buck D&D games?

I don't think they understand.

What made Baldurs Gate 3 great wasn't DnD it was Larian. Same for BG 1/2 and old BioWare.

You can't just create that level of care by pumping out lots of games, they'll probably fill them with MTX or GaaS bullshit to try and get more money from it as well.

Lmao without Larian's dedication I doubt they're gonna get anywhere close to BG3 in the future

Incoming Hasbro enshittifying every DnD game from now on with microtransactions and day 1 dlc.

This is why we can't have nice things. When they come along, the parent company strangles it for profit.

Every

Fuckdamn

Time

Loved BG3. but it was the hit it was because it was done by people who love the D&D world and didn't attempt to live up to any specific monetary goals, nor did it rush out to try and beat some arbitrary deadline. it was done in the old style of development, by a relatively small team over long periods of time to showcase their labour of love.

given the history of D&D the company itself and it's more recent copyright monetization and attacking the playerbase for profit, I cannot see them pumping out other games that are anywhere CLOSE to what Larian produced.

Wee're going to get a whole lot of bullshit shovelware trying to ride BG3's excellence.

this is why we can't have nice things :(

Sigh...just more MBA assholes that don't understand squat about the industry they lead.

Oh god, they're gonna Fox it up. Listen: dozens of cool shows came out circa 2000, did pretty darn well, and were thrown in the fucking garbage for not being The Simpsons. That show's firehose of money funded brilliant new productions - most of which were cancelled for not instantly creating an equal firehose of money.

This is how Firefly, Futurama, and Family Guy were shitcanned despite intense demand. But games don't get revivals or movies the same way. They can't be pulled back together with a writer and some key actors. Game franchises just die. Their original creators get scattered to the winds, and the rights get tangled up in a heartbeat, so anything with the same name is just an empty brand and inadvisable hope.

Baldur's Gate 3, in so many ways, was a miracle among miracles. And these geniuses are liable to expect that, every time, in ways that make life hell for any studio whose quality is merely exceptional.

Pls no shovelware

Its on my list, and I've played Solasta (loved it, but they level higher than BG3 does).

However, I think Pathfinder games do better Legendary adventures. The characters attain godlike strength in the end whereas D&D 5ed is not very good at that so far in the Video game space.

What ever happened to games like NeverWinter Nights where you could literally do a raid on the hells themselves or Neverwinter Nights 2 where you can make an attack on the God of the Dead's Domain.

Developers complain about how hard it its to do spells and powers past a certain level and yet their predecessors still found a way to do it even if they had to make certain limitations on them.

Still, I am glad to see BG3 a thing even if the characters are weak compared to the original ones from BG2.

Without Larian and without the writers of the core books yeah I'm sure it'll be great totally won't do a 4th edition again.

Didnt they say they were looking to sell D&D like last week?

Stock price manipulation.

Damp D

I hope theres a new mtg game. They were all fun to me.
