Game sequels are no longer made for the fans of the original. Nowadays, developers craft them to bring in newcomers. This means that you can often expect a significant change between installments. But titles like Dragon Age 2 sometimes revise the gameplay so much that fans of the original no longer enjoy it.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the most replayable games ever made with a 1000-hour playtime or more. However, it can be quite taxing on modern CPUs. Let's have a look at how it performs on one if the fastest gaming processors and how to optimize it.
"Treat your players as you would like to be treated, that's it," Vincke says when asked about how to maintain trust with a game's community.
The Elder Scrolls: Baldur's Gate 3.
Kinda cool I guess. Seems they just allowed the camera to zoom in right on top of the characters head and then able to control movement like a fps. Makes me wonder what the game would be like if I didn't ever zoom way out and scroll over the environment to check out for enemies nearby almost constantly.
Well Portal 2 was pretty damn good, why wouldn't you want other games to me equally as good.
I agree with 1000000000000000000000%. This generation, the majority of sequels stray-away from the original to have a mass appeal by tacking on MP or adding unwanted features from other games. How quickly do developers and publisher forget that without the original fanbase, their games will be nothing. I have to say, Uncharted 2 and Portal 2 are the only sequels this generation that stayed true to the original fanbase, while at the same time adding new features that felt right and not tacked on.
Well Valve is good at making sequels. They always have been. That's why everyone is begging for HL2 episode 3. If they sucked then it would just be another game...
I like how they took a format (puzzles solved via chambers) that couldn't normally have a cohesive story and somehow managed to not only make one, but one rich with history, great dialogue and other narrative depth.
spoiler:
the moment wheatley became the villian and glados as a potatoe sack your ally, the game became something wonderful.
only valve could have made the impossible the possible.
totally agree with this article. and this is why so many ppl are excited about uncharted 3. because of how naughty dog improves their games but keeps the main concept the same.
