Baldur's Gate 3 is an exception to a defacto rule that AAA games normally require multiple patches post-release to feel complete. Fans want more games to
With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.
Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.
Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.
This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.
Got that email like 2 weeks ago. Tbh I'm not tripping. I understand sht happens. I'm just glad they changed their minds on the physical release
I with you. I got the email is well. Happy to eventually own a physical copy and glad it’s not digital only.
Baldur's Gate 3 is so good it might actually be a bad place to start with RPGs.
Baldurs Gate 3 was great, but I dont think it is as crazy as people make it out to be. I actually think Starfield is closer to being a crazy insane once in a lifetime game, but Im ready for the flak Im about to get.
If you think that then you either A never played Bg3 or B never watched anyone else play it, or C you don't know anything about the game, or D you played it and have no idea of the marvel it is in every single aspect of game design. It doesn't matter what game you compare it to, it doesn't hold a candle. Let alone starfield.
A. Ive played it thrice
B. Played with others, so there are moments of watching
C. Know more than I would care to about the game
D.
Thats quite bold, seeing as there are an inumerable amount of games for it to contend with. I also know plenty of people with their own gripes with the game.
As someone that creates things, and has actively sought to gather intel and understanding, I would say Baldurs Gates very nature makes it so it would have a hard time sitting upon the lofty throne you have given it. Similar to a Bethesda game, it is a game with a very large number of permutations and variables to consider, despite being smaller in scale by direct comparison.
Exemplary mastery of design philosophy is more certain to appear in a game that is for confined. One of the reasons I see Starfield the way I do is simply Bethesedas approach of breaking the rules. Anyone should hopefully know that you just dont try to fit a Bethesda game into a space game, but they found a way to pull it off. Do to the nature of large scale open world games, whether it is efficient or not depends on the angle one is looking at.
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes
Part 2:
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes, it will seem disjointed and lazy; however, to those who realize what Bethesda were going for, you will see that the game is severely underestimated. The idea of God is hated and loved by many, and there is much controversy. Starfield is closer to that idea than people even notice.
I really don't think that releasing a finished game after a year of early access equates to simply releasing a finished game at launch.
Especially, not what it "was like" since early access wasn't a thing when games normally released 100% finished at launch.
Don't get me wrong, I love BG3, but this article is based on a pretty massive false equivalence. Larian started getting people's money *way* before the game was even close to finished.
Oh FFS. Playstation first party has been providing complete experiences every single damn time! Uncharted (all of them), God of War (both of them), Last of Us (both of them), Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man (both of them), Horizon (both of them), Days Gone, Ratchet and Clank (all of them) and more have ALL been completely playable as is without patches.....as are PS games going back generations.
I can put any of their discs in and play all the way through without a patch. Days Gone is the only one that improved by any margin post patch and even then it wasn't a dealbreaker....just a bunch of fannies overeggagerating the problems ignored in other non Sony games. Baldur's gate is also in need of patches....I saw a damn dwarf turn his head in a cutscene while his beard stayed in place.....came right off his damn chin.
This Baldur's gate c**ksucking is pathetic....and the constant downplaying or complete ignorance if Sony's efforts and accomplishments in the media is really starting to piss me off. When Spider-Man 2 releases I will bet there is not a single article stating how good it is out the gate without having to be 'fixed'.
We get it, Baldur's gate is an exceptional game, but it is not some new standard of quality......waiting on the "Baldur's gate saved my marriage" articles.
Rant over.
3 years of early access.
That right goes to Elden Ring.
Nintendo and sony first party games have been doing this for years.
