Meanwhile:
Jan 2022: âHeres xenoblade 3, an absolutely gigantic single player game, no microtransactions, pushes the console to itâs absolute limit, Monolithsoft at the top of their fucking game. Announced today, out in eight months.â
April 2022: âLol sike, itâs now out in julyâ.
Baldurs gate is fucking sweet, but letâs not act like itâs a unique occurance in AAA gaming.

No, that was 2. That mechanic and plot point doesnât exist in 3. 3 has very little, if any, fanservice.
And yes, AAA. It cost multiple millions, hundreds of staff working on it, hundreds of hours of VA including notable UK talent (Jenna Coleman, etc), a fully orchestral soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda recorded in multiple countries, and the game itself pushes the switch to breaking point. It absolutely counts.
Thereâs loads of other examples of decent single player experiences without bullshit, this one just came to mind first. And I hope Baldurs Gateâs success brings more like these

Xenoblade 3 is a Nintendo exclusive. Baldurâs Gate is unique to me because a game like this hasnât clicked with me since Dragon Age Origins.
