Reading the article comments I’m starting to feel bad for some of the PS community folks, they believe BG3 is actually going to move consoles… they didn’t even buy FF16 according to SE yet they’ll buy a nicher franchise that I imagine 99% never played the first 2 … x to doubt.

1) Honestly you are just proving my point that a part of the xbox community is really trying hard to make BG3/larian look bad.

When the news got announced the Xbox version was getting delayed because of issues with the S Larian got attacked by xbots in droves while the hate should be directed towards MS. In retrospect it is really sad when Larian literally released a game that is made for gamers and not for stockholders, possible the least buggy RPG in the last 10 years, no MTX, gives players the option to play it in singleplayer or MP. In an age of remasters releases that have less features than its original release, games that come with a ton of MTX or games releasing with so many issues or features missing, BG3  feels like a breath of fresh air with praise from basically every gamer community and hate from devs/Ceo's who want to make money and don't want that releasing feature complete games becomes the norm.

The last few weeks the goal post has shifted from 'Devs suck' ==> BG3 is just niche, but it is one of the biggest games on steam this year with sales approaching 5 million and potentially way more LTD, it has become the most preordered game so far on PS5;PSN and that's something with so many big hits on the way. if this is still niche then MS basically only released niche games this generation...(except for FH5 and maybe others?)


Expect the goalpost to change again a few times ....

Not sure why you bring FFXVI in that post even if FFXVI was on Xbox same day it would have sold less on Xbox.., Based on all the data it is clear that Xbox has the lowers marketshare in games purchases especially with same day multiplatform releases and with MS really not trying to increase the installbase it is not going to change anytime soon.

Ok. When it releases in 2yrs after the exclusivity period ends I’ll stop acting like Larian is a crappy little indie developer just for you boo :)

Idk where this narrative that BG3 is the most polished game ever made has come from. It’s buggier than any Bethesda game I’ve ever played although I never played FO76.

I’ve literally lost hours of story progress due to game breaking bugs. It’s just so good no one really cares.

shhh it’s got a high meta so it can’t have anything like that. It’s the best thing ever created.

I love Baldur's Gate 3. It's one of the best games I've played this year. It might be one of the best games ever made. But lmao @ people saying things like "they released a game that's not a broken mess" as if it isn't packed full of bugs ranging from minor to game-breaking.

-

It's completely false to claim that Baldur's Gate 3 is the least buggy RPG in the last 10 years, it is incredibly buggy, I've seen multiple game breaking bugs being reported and losing hours on save files, it's just that it's so good that people are forgiving the bugs. Nothing new as this happens a lot and happened with most Bethesda titles too.

The hate should be directed at nobody.

People are completely missing the point of other developers but that ain't new with gamers, always want to be continuously outraged.

The goal post never shifted, it was always that the type of titles that Larian makes are niche on consoles but maybe Larian has exploded the genre in other areas which would be a good thing and could increase sales of other similar titles but that does not mean the genre wasn't niche beforehand and doesn't make anyone wrong for claiming it was niche, genres sometimes go through periods like this.

FWIW I do think BG3 will sell good on PS and I think Larian could have increased the popularity of the genre on consoles now.

Interesting.  What type of business?

I've now had some sleep and a few hours to sober back up.  Here are some pics, I tried to leave out any identifying signs, but if I missed something, I don't want anyone showing up just to give me a hard time (jk, bring it bitches).  

I initially just started off with the wooden structured building.  I added the north wing steel building in 2008 and the south wing steel building in 2012.  The environment I'm in is very windy and dusty, so it is difficult to keep the place looking this clean.  My clientele is usually covered in oil, mud, dirt and chemicals and so the furniture gets very nasty.  

I do all the accounting, bookkeeping, payrolls, inventory management, invoicing, bill collecting, purchasing, blah, blah, blah, everything.   My aunt is my business partner and is retiring already, hence bringing in the new blood for training.  I've had all I want, so I'm also going to retire/semi-retire.

Putting Ryuu’s plan into action already I see

What plans you got in retirement??? You’re still young and got a long life ahead of you!

Hookers, booze, drugs and porn. I want to film Kama Sutra the movie into a 10 part series.

That would not be good for the site :) I would do some serious clean-up and take care of those "comments" sections first!
