FIREPOWER 954 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) When trying to consider games for GamePass day and date, the retards at MS thought Baldur’s Gate 3 was a low-tier PC RPG that wouldn’t do well instead they thought Redflop would be a critical hit They are completely clueless. It’s very obvious why Xbox is so shit at delivering good games Edited September 19, 2023 by FIREPOWER 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,318 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 They're like the corporate embodiment of Todd Margaret. They just bullshit and bullshit and bullshit until they eventually have to meet reality, and it all collapses on them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 487 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 TBF, let's not act like the Baldur's Gate series was some high profile needle pusher. Sure, the series has recognition but it was never the kind of series that was on everyone's radar. BG3 is an exception and it took everyone by surprise. Link to post Share on other sites

But still why would anyone pick to push the dogshit that is Redflop over stuff like BG3? Not saying everyone knew that BG3 would be a major GOTY contender because that caught us all by surprise but the retards at MS had to have known that Redflop was a turd. At the very least BG3 was going to be a good game. There's no indication that Redflop looked promising at any point during development.

The only people who weren't taken by surprise by Larian's game being a AAA hit were PC players. It also wasn't a surprise to me that cows, coming off Final Fantasy 16, needed a game they could latch onto to pit against Starfield... and luckily for them, Microsoft's policies handed an exclusive window to them.. and thus the hype fully went onto BG3.

Sabo 487 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Redfall was coming right off the tails of the Dishonored games. Arkane was on the up and a new game by them seemed like a sure thing. At that point in time it would definitely seem like the better pick over BG. ... But then the development hell began and Arkane lost a lot of key staff. How was MS suppose to foresee that happening? MS already invested a lot into the game though so they were just kind of fucked.

That's some bullshit... No one was talking about the game until those first reviews dropped. Once the glowing praise started rolling in the game caught fire and it was popping up everywhere. A game with little hype became the most hyped game basically overnight. I'm sure fans of the series were looking forward to the game and were even expecting it to be good but to sit here and act like you knew this game was going to reach far beyond its fanbase and hit mainstream appeal is just bullshit. Get the fuck outta here... LOL 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 487 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I literally said only the people within BGs circle were talking about it and expecting it to be good, you dumbass. But not even those within that circle were expecting it to be as big as it is. Even fans are calling BG3 a unicorn, a rare exception. Games from this genre just don't see this kind of attention and praise. BG3 surprised everyone with how it blew up and took the gaming world by storm. THAT was my point. Even fuckin Hasbro is surprised and is expecting BG3 to make more money than all of its film licensing over the past 10 years. So don't even try to act like PC players knew this game was going to be the phenomenon it is. You didn't, STFU. Link to post Share on other sites

I knew it would come to current gen consoles. And I knew after it sold millions in Early Access that it would continue to sell millions on the other various platforms Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 487 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Well even a broken watch is right twice a day. Whatever, okay. That's great, YOU called it. Good for you, have a fuckin cookie. YOU were not surprised but YOU are singular. But BG3 definitely surprised the gaming industry. No one saw this game coming, which again, was my point. Well, no one besides you. There, I said it, enjoy your validation. Link to post Share on other sites
