Baldur's Gate 3 - Living up to the Hype (Gaming)
I've read lots of praise, but if anyone is going to call out the Emperor's lack of clothes, it's you. Good to hear that the bar has been raised.
Usually when we hear 'the bar has been raised' it's in relation to some super polished, high fidelity open world game or something.Baldur's gate 3 is full of jank. Glitches. Bugs. The graphics are far from cutting edge. And yet, that doesn't matter.
I'm starting to think many AAA devs are focusing an inordinate amount of time and money on things that don't actually matter. Things players don't ultimately care that much about. And the opportunity cost of that is why they call this game an "anomaly" and something not to expect.
I think everything matters to some degree. Errors in published books distract me, for instance, and I deduct points. I completely agree, though, that technical perfection is just one aspect, and not the most important one. And yeah, maybe the existence of this game will affect what developers prioritize.
