@rain Expecting games of high quality is not the same as expecting something like BG3. BG3 took 6-ish years to develop for a team of ~400 people (not including outsourcing partners), who were working with the specialized tools and knowledge to make this exact game from having developed Divinity: Original Sin and it's sequel (plus their respective Definitive Editions). The game is the product of a perfect storm of development circumstances that most devs can only dream of.
@RinguPingu I mean, that thread essentially asks for the bar not to be raised. Regardless of wants though, the bar has been raised, at least in the minds of consumers. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for high quality, when most RPGs from larger studios seem mediocre at best.
@rain The thread is asking that people understand that BG3 was made under favourable circumstances, and that it's unreasonable to expect every RPG that comes out from now on to meet that same level.
That is, unless you're willing to accept that every RPG needs to take 6-7 years (not including the time required to develop the tools) to develop for 400 people (not including the outsourcing partners). Then yeah, let BG3 be the standard I guess.
