We Need To Talk About Baldur's Gate 3 Being The New Industry Standard (The Jimquisition)
Larian Studios absolutely scored gold with Baldur's Gate 3. An incredible game, its qualities are nigh untouchable... and that's the thorny issue. It's being called the new industry standard, but there's some debate over whether such a standard is even attainable by most developers.
Let's talk about how amazing Baldur's Gate 3 is, and the contentiousness around its potential status as the bar to meet for game development.

I've seen other takes that make me sad cause they're missing the entire point the developers were trying to make, that Steph explained so well here. I still don't understand how that got so twisted around to where people think devs are fighting against quality standards. I've chatted with some about it, and it mainly sounds like people conflating devs with "the industry," and taking issue with what any dev says. Thinking it's the same kind of person as a AAA exec. Provides context but doesn't excuse the behavior, and makes me a little sad that some don't want to do the basics of looking at who a person is, before thinking they are exploitative. Overall, just thankful you made this video so I was able to get the full picture. I don't have social media, so I really only see what are in articles and videos. Thanks again.
Love the 7/10 at the end lol 😆😎🍻🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
It was to annoy GamersTM right? 🤔
If we expect everything to be the same as Baldurs Gate 3, we are just going to get derivative shit that we've been getting. I'd rather take lessons from BG3. 1. Play to your team's strengths. Your team is an action adventure team? Do that. If you want to try something knew, try a more indie level thing(think GamesJam, but in studio) if you want to shake things up. But don't run before you crawl. 2. Fit the scope of what your team can pull off with a reasonable time frame. 3. Use Early Access correctly. Why is this hard? Learn LESSONS, not put a cookie cutter down saying "This and only this is what we will accept!".
And, yes, Astarion is to die for. Heck, everyone in my party is delicious! 😋
I hope there are gratuitous depictions of rough druidic bear lovin'! 🐻 ❤️🧝♂️😉
This is age restricted on Patreon. I don't log into Youtube so right now I can't watch this. I believe this happened in the past.
Got the same problem:(
God damn it, "Seven out of ten" made me laugh way too hard at work.
I do love this. But what I really need is a Jimquisition about the monopoly Wizards of the Coast has and abuses with impunity on TTRPGs as a whole.
There's already a LOT of videos about that, TBH.
