No… no its not.

Other developers appreciate art.

exia_pvt,

Publishers are probably sweating a bit. But as a dev I love seeing any game succeed like this!

What I really want is a South Park couch co-op game to play with my wife, preferably some kind of childish humour RPG.

Do any of the South Park games so far have this?

Developers? Panicking? Developers will rejoice that they don’t have to build these garbage mechanics. Publishers and game studio execs? Yeah they’ll panic

Reminder that this is not being done by the original Titan Quest developers Crate (who made Grim Dawn), and the last few Titan Quest DLCs were very… Bad.

So temper your expectations.

Vordus,

The past few Titan Quest DLCs were made by Pieces Interactive who are currently working on yet another Alone in the Dark remake. Titan Quest II is being made by Grimlore Games, who made the Spellforce 3 trilogy of RTS/RPG hybrids.

Not sure how much of an improvement that is, but it’s not quite the worst-case scenario. So that’s nice.

The newest Spellforce was fantastic, so I’m tentatively interested now.

Reminds me of the PSX south park game where you could throw yellow slow balls. Don’t remember much else from the game though.

Did we learn nothing from the terrible N64 game?

prim3r,

Last couple south park game were pretty good. Decent enough games, but enough south park humour to make them enjoyable for fans. Can’t speak to the n64 game though.

BruceTwarzen,

As far as i remember the games back then were pretty shit, because they just told random game studios to make South park games. The games were just clones of other games like mario kart. (I did like that dumb ps1 game tho) and trey and matt weren't really happy with it so they "made their own" starting with stick of truth. That's why there was a sudden shift in quality.

BG 3 is so stupid, it’s not even optimizing micro transactions for maximum profits

forgotaboutlaye,

How am I supposed to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment without paying for my dice rolls?

orbitz,

Wonder what a divine crit roll would cost, $5 in combat $3 outside? Heck that’s too complicated $10 for all, $7 for season pass holders.

For those wondering there is no season pass.

They would have to also start charging to save scum. Why would I pay $5 for a crit when I can just reload my save and try until I get one? Every new save is $0.50 and every reload is also $0.50.

reverendsteveii,

Fuck it, exiting the game now costs $2. We need to recoup the opportunity cost of you not being somewhere you can be directly marketed to.

    Star Citizen is its own greatest obstacle lol. Doesn’t need a shadowy cabal of all the major game studios conspiring to keep it down.

    Is there something I can read instead of giving some jackass a view on Youtube?

    Goronmon,

    To summarize the actual tweets/comments/etc that these videos (there are multiple) are panicking about.

    1. Smaller studios aren't going to be able to replicate the scale and complexity of BG3. So people shouldn't be using BG3 as the bar to compare future titles/RPGs from other studios going forward. Larian is comparable in size (or even larger) to Bethesda when they released Skyrim, and no one has been able to compete directly with Skyrim either.
    2. Not all games and RPGs need to be as complex and long as BG3. Expecting open-ended, 100 hour-long RPGs for every future game/RPG isn't realistic. Not all games require that scope, it's rare to get such a budget for this type of game, and even if you did, most companies won't be able to replicate the game in a meaningful way. Just like how companies other than Rockstar would struggle to replicate the scale of games like GTA and RDR.

    There, I've summarized multiple 20 min videos. Just without all the hand-waving and drama.

    So, I see you definitely didn’t actually watch the video.

    Goronmon,

    I did, did you?

    stopthatgirl7,
    !deleted7120 avatar

    Considering I’m the one who posted it, yes.

    Goronmon,

    You would be far from the only person who has posted a link to an article/video they have never read/watched.

    It was a pretty good video with a good message. All the more surprising is that it was from IGN.

    lowdownfool,
    @lowdownfool@kbin.social avatar

    I prefer not to sit through a 10 minute video for something that requires less than a minute reading time.

    Magrath, do gaming w Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic

    Click baiting video. Other devs don’t care. As long as they can make money pumping out mediocre games then they will continue to do so. Acting like this is the first good game to come out in a decade or something.

    DrM,

    DEVs do care. As a developer working on something you want to be proud of it. Publishers do not care.

    bionicjoey,

    Looking at how many games have stood in Dragon Age: Origins’ shadow over the past decade, I get the sense that lots of studios wanted to create the true spiritual successor but couldn’t come up with the resources to do so.

    storksforlegs,
    @storksforlegs@beehaw.org avatar

    Or if not lacking resources, definitely lacking the creative freedom.

    Kolanaki,
    !deleted6508 avatar

    The individuals working on the game might care.

    The managers who make the decisions don’t. Doesn’t matter if they are a publisher or the development company itself. It’s a bit blurry these days anyway, what with how easy it is to self publish and how many publishers have their own internal development studios.

    Ilflish,

    The managers who make the decisions is also unclear as power differs on the company. They could care all the way up to the CEO but if the CEO puts an unrealistic deadline, the game has an unrealistic deadline
