Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell…

Ledivin,

This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷‍♂️

TarantulaFudge,

That doesn’t make it any less vile.

It’d honestly be hilarious if all the creators just started rebranding their fan projects with Palworld Pals (or any other similar IP). Start shifting the discourse away from Pokemon. I’d love that.

MotoAsh,

it makes it more ridiculous that people who don’t like this kind of behavior support nintendo at all.

hakase,

Exactly. I’m proudly 3 years Nintendo-free, and I don’t see myself going back anytime soon.

Leg,

Once my Switch broke and the Steam Deck released, I decided I didn’t want to bother with Nintendo anymore. They’ve been killing their communities for far too long.

I saw a docu i think about smash bros. from nintendo, very cool docu serie btw, and the guys that organized the first tournaments got a letter or something that they where not allowed to organize such tournaments (mind you just fans playing the game in a bigger room nothing more) because, and here it comes, the game should not be played like that! Wtf.

(Ah yes The Smash Brothers 2013)

Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

Playing devil’s advocate, they’re just protecting their IP. Problem is they can’t spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don’t know.

Unpopular opinion probably, but creators should be allowed to stop creating more stories inside a particular world. It’s like the issue we had with TV shows just getting the chewing gum treatment. Some worlds should have an end. Though maybe there can be spin-offs in this case, stories unrelated to the current cast in any way.

MrBusiness,

The people of Wales have been deep in nostalgia for too long!

FiniteBanjo,

Oh lol I wrote wales instead of whales lmao

Malgas,

maybe there can be spin-offs in this case

They haven’t said they intend to stop making D&D games. And every D&D crpg in the last 20-odd years (since Torment, I think) has been set in the Forgotten Realms. So it seems highly likely that future games will be loosely related to BG, just without that specific title.

I would love to see them bring back some of the weird old settings, like Dark Sun, Spelljammer, or even Dragonlance. But I’m not holding my breath.

I was really hoping for some standalone campaigns in the same engine though

Ragnarok314159,

Same, but Hasbro is shit. I don’t blame Larian for running.

MrBusiness,

If Larian did a collab with Paizo on a Starfinder series I could die happy.

Ragnarok314159,

That would be so amazing.

I will enjoy playing their next game in 2030 from my prison cell rat-salute

Hasbro is gonna sell to some heartless VC and D&D will be dead as we know it as they try to bleed every last dollar from whoever stays. Sad times ahead. Capitalism strikes again destroying everything we love.

ltxrtquq,

Have you heard of D&D Beyond? It’s already a subscription service, I’m not sure D&D is in the best hands as it is.

menemen,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

Dnd beyond as it is now is still very usable without a subscription. But yeah, this will probably change with the next edition.

It is really annoying. Dnd beyond is such a great product, but it will very likely be ruined by the business model soon.

The time is ripe for an original property, but with a 8 be year development cycle who knows

Fisk400, do gaming w Larian Studios Is Officially Done With The Baldur’s Gate Series

I would have done the same. Hasbro is poison to anyone that works with them and they would fire everyone at Larian for a penny.

Even if everything went well with Hasbro, Larian is big enough now that they dont need to tempt fate twice.

I liked playing DOS2 a lot more than Baldur’s Gate 3 so I hope we get a DOS3 at some point. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I cannot stand spell slots. They’re not a fun or interesting game mechanic to me.

AFC1886VCC, do gaming w Larian Studios Is Officially Done With The Baldur’s Gate Series

I like hey they just came and dropped one of the best games of the year then immediate quit the series.

I understand the reasons why but when phrased that way it sounds pretty funny

Caitlyynn,

They made great games before, this just went viral

arefx,

n

bg3 isnt even their best game, dos2 is. BG3 just got mainstream hype. Its a great game but its a little over rated lol.

JustAnotherRando,

I mean, I loved DOS2 as well, but I definitely think BG3 is the better game. There’s a lot of replayability from the combat in DOS, but the story and characters in BG3 are on a whole different level. DOS2 does definitely rank in my top 5 CRPGs though (BG3, BG2, DOS2, DA:O, and probably NWN would be that full list)

SparrowRanjitScaur,

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with quitting on a high note. Not everything needs to be milked until people are sick of it.

Will they also stop releasing patches?

Grass,

They probably already put out more patches than the devs of every other game released around the same time combined.

mattc,

He has said they will continue releasing patches and also some new cutscenes for endings. Just no new content.

So Larian’s next game is gonna be a Pathfinder title or…?

Leon_Grotsky,

Doubt it, unless Owlcat has sold their soul to the James Workshop devil.

Maybe another Divinity, or something new; there’s lots of other decent RPG systems that haven’t been adapted yet.

Salix,

Pathfinder 2e hasn’t been adapted yet, which is very different from 1e

This could have been us but Hasbro playin’

have fun trying to make your own video game for the 20th time you bunch of losers

CybranM, do gaming w Larian Studios Is Officially Done With The Baldur’s Gate Series

Imho the DnD settings kind of held the game back anyway, the combat in Divinity 2 was a lot more fun since they didnt have to constrain themselves to the super basic DnD item system.

Nacktmull,
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

I hope they will make Divinity 3 next!

Ragnarok314159,

I would like to see a Games Workshop collaboration. GW sucks with their mini stuff, but their tabletop rules would make an excellent successor to BG3.

AngryCommieKender,

Which editon is it based on? I’m assuming not 3.0 or 3.5 since you called the item system basic. I’m waiting for a good sale before I get BG3

Fridgeratr,

It’s based on 5th edition

Heavybell,
@Heavybell@lemmy.world avatar

I dunno, I like BG3 a lot more than DOS2. I like actually being able to move and not feel like I wasted my turn doing so, and I feel like I get a lot less “fuck! I didn’t want to go there!” situations eating up all my actions in BG3. Having distinct action / bonus action resources, where the latter can be converted into extra movement, is a good system IMO. Now if only they allowed you to use your action as a bonus action if you wanted…

Sibbo,

Arguably, they could just make movement a separate kind of action in DOS as well.

There is one skill in DOS2 that grants a free movement action every turn. I use it for my backstabbing rogue, and it rocks!
