The Baldurās Gate 3 thing is like a master class (or a random event that turned out well, because Noone predicts this kind of thing) of marketing. Nobody on console gave a sh*t about that game until it was at. State of Play AND the controversy regarding the Xbox version. If it was on all platforms simultaneously, people would have continued to not care about it.
It sounds like itās a great game though, so the circumstances working out to itās benefit are a positive thing I suppose.

100%, been following the game since early access started and it did not have nearly this much hype until the PS5 timed exclusive perception started and also it was starting to be viewed as a Starfield competitor.
It is sad that THAT what gets it the much attention, but the attention is deserved and Larian deserve so much for their efforts and talents.

Yep, I bet a lot of them are going for the hype without knowing really what they are gonna get. And thereās also those silly ones that are hyping this game up solely because itās not coming to Xbox until early next year. Youād have to be a really unique kind of sad to find enjoyment in that. There was also one article with the headline āhow BG3 became an accidental PS5 exclusive.ā
How aboutā¦no?
Iāve watched footage and while overall it definitely looks right up my alley, it is except for one thing, the combat. Iām not gonna find much enjoyment in that. The same reason I never finished Dragon Age Origins. The combat just is not for me.

The game is apparently great so best-case scenario is a bunch of Spider-Man and TLOU fans discover that they love hardcore CRPGs. 
Doubtless there will be some of that but Iād bet that a large number will bounce off of it as well. I am a Dragon Age superfan and I bounced off of Divinity Original Sin 2 in like 5 minutes. Itās an extremely niche style of gameplay that is the furthest thing in the world from a crowd pleaser. But hey, if people are trying a great game and giving it a shot, fair play.

TIming is everything tbh. I donāt think the game was on many console players radar because lets be honest CRPGs arenāt that popular on console. However, showing up on state of play, and questioning if thereās an xbox version gave the game more attention. Plus, the other factors of it being delayed on xbox gave the game a lot of attention for people to check what this games about. I donāt think it affected PC side much, but seeing awesome scores, media attention, best DND style of game, and other factors made the game reach heights I donāt think Larian thought it would make. Right now the game is an event, and itās a damn good game because I am playing it on PC and it seems to be one of those games to consume you. I just wonder how it controls on console
I will take it if it means more interest in CRPGs, letās hope so. If AAA publishers start seeing that as a viable genre to invest in, thatās a win.

Since BG1 and 2 are rumored (most likely) coming to Game Pass, I wonder if the interest grows more or rather have them try them out before the newest installment comes.
Is this weird? Because I feel this is weird.
Universe beyond is super neat magic setsā¦ Howeverā¦ I feel like hasbro is pumping alot out way to quickā¦ Weāve had doctor who Warhammer and LOTR all in like a year
This is a very good video! I used to be likeā¦why the fuck didnāt these games sell better? And I get it now.
God I hope Arkane goes back to the greatness of Prey and Dishonored.

Redfall can easily be recognized as a big mistake so that likely means they won tread those waters again, but Iām personally worried that they might view Deathloop is a model forward, and man I donāt want that either, although it was well made it was just so meh 
.
Continue the Prey & Dishonored identity, please for the love of god just follow those Arkane design principles that no one else is even making anymore, and innovate within them, not so much outside of them. Literally a well made AAA immersive sim is gonna be such a big unique differentiator that theyād more valuable in the current market.

I did get very far in the story because it was hard to put down and because of the locations, the characters, the choices. But the combat just never clicked with me. Even DAI where the combat was much more real-time, it still wasnāt all that.
Iām praying for that too. Because like you said, nobody is making them anymore, not in the AAA space that is. The part he showed in the beginning of the video from Dishonored made me realize how limited I still played this game. I had no idea you could do that.
Iām hoping Deathloop 2 isnāt in the planning, but instead Dishonored 3 or a new IP but that has these brilliant elements. And if they ever were to return to Preyā¦that would be a day to celebrate.
