I think most people aren't aware how successful that game was and that it got critical reception equal or better than Witcher 3's. Tbf this is already much more successful commercially. And honestly it's a better game, as amazing as DOS2 is. Probably my GOTY so far, neck and neck with TOTK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DOS2 fans bought the BG3 early access in droves pushing it to best seller since last-year. Larian Studios reputation was already cemented, just not quite W3 mainstream level yet.

Sabo 442 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Meanwhile FF XVI sales have dropped considerably and failed to meet expectations. After the initial hype and shill reviews ran their course the real consensus shined through and the consensus is XVI is overrated and disappointing. Hey SE, maybe next time you might want to put an RPG inside your flagship RPG. Idiots... BG3 is going to wipe it's ass using FF XVI.

It’s bizarre, the game is lacking in RPG elements but SE still decided to pad it out to the length of a big RPG. I’m 40 hours in and wish it would just end already. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Serious question.. What's your insight? Uh... this game in particular doesn't have a ton of reviews because they're literally still playing through the game. If you look, there's already 40 critic reviews... they're just "in progress" https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/baldurs-gate-3/critic-reviews And if the PS5 version has a ton of reviews day 1... it will be because they got a copy earlier and had time to play it... or sites will copy/paste from the PC reviews. Apparently you have no idea just how beastly this game is. In general PC games get less coverage, because Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo provide most of those sites copies... and a lot of them are console based publications. There's no PC platform holder... so they simply send less copies to less outlets. And if you notice... it really depends on the type of game it is. Sometimes most of the reviews are the console version, and sometimes they're the PC version. And finally... I'd say that typically 3rd parties will send the most copies out of the game where things are either the furthest along, or most polished. Sometimes PC may have an issue they don't want everyone talking about... or sometimes consoles have performance issues and they want reviewers to play that version instead.

Admittedly i've been making the game longer for myself because im doing all the side quests. I figure there must be some good ones out there but most have been pretty forgettable so far.

But this makes me think.....is PC the only system that gets Baldurs Gate 3, Zelda, and Starfield? Shit it'll even get Final Fantasy eventually (confirmed). RPG King.
