Comment on Every game developer company should be like this
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 year agoThe last DnD-based AAA game was like 15 years ago? People have been craving for this kind of game for years had had to satisfy themselves with remakes and ports until now.

Yeah but you also had the Owlcat Studios Pathfinder games, which didn’t draw as much of a crowd despite being the same genre.

I might be wrong, but I’d wager it has to do with the popularity of DnD vs Pathfinder. That and the nostalgia from BG 1 and 2.

BG1 and 2 are some of the most beloved CRPG games ever made. On reddit, the Baldur’s Gate sub was still very active and I would guess people were continuing to do full play-throughs at least once a year (and that’s like 20 years after BG1 came out). I don’t know of many other games with that kind of following, so I’m not surprised at the interest in BG3. Plus, it looks like the devs really took their time and delivered a great game at launch, which doesn’t really seem to happen much these days.

I don’t even know if the Pathfinder games are co-op. BG3 is co-op and it is coming to PlayStation very soon
