It's insane how much money the sequel could've made if they just made it like the first game aesthetically and gameplay wise seeing how Balders Gate 3 made so much. But the Corpos are too fucking stupid and there goes the money down the drain. Why can't we get good things?
>>724376795what the fuck does bg3 have to do with anything?
>>724376795The development and management was a fucking disaster and it's a pretty hard game to make
>>724376836I'm saying people, even normalfags like actual Role Playing Games where you make your OWN character not v from cyberpunk or nate from fallout 4
it's a fucking propaganda piece stop giving it so fucking much attention
>>724376795Yeah I dunno why they chose to abandon the grunge aesthetic.
>>724376898so you entire thread is your attempt to appeal to normies? fuck off, faggot. stop using this website
>>724376924they're so completely out of touch investors and dev team think we're in the early 2010s also ignoring the 2000s revival.
>>724376795>Why can't we get good things?Nothing good will ever happen again, unless you make it
>>724377017dont give a fuck what OP write. they want to be a normie
>>724376898whwre the fuck did you say that in your post, retard?
>>724377017let me just get my budget of millions of dollars to make a proper sequel to this gam-
>>724376958no dumbass im saying actual rpgs can make money in this current age.
>>724377175you are a faggot that wants normies to think you are smart. fuck off, get the fuck out.
>>724377115Besides the initial investment of acquiring a modest computer, you don't need money to start making games in 2025.Godot, Unity and Unreal are all free.Even smaller engines, like Gdevelop 5, allow you to make and publish games for zero bucks.>>724377175>>724376898You are not wrong,but this and many other genres and play styles are considered "too risky" by the modern AAA industry. They literally shill their shit to THE widest mouth breathers, who would get lost even in Half-Life 1 this day and age.Resident Evil-style Survival horror for example was already deemed "too outdated" by Capcom already back in 2005, only for their competitors to rake in money for years. The biggest sike was the re-release of the 2002 REmake1 back in 2015, which sold like hot cakes and scared the boomer publishers shitless.Same thing with Square-Enix and traditional turn-based JRPGs; Final Fantasy was turned into literal DMC clone, all while classic-style JRPGs like Expedition 33, Persona, Dragon quest... heck, even Pokemon, are making a bank.

>>724376795They needed to make it woke. So it's lame and gay.
>>724376795>But the Corpos are too fucking stupid and there goes the money down the drain.Baldur's Gate 3 was a very expensive game, and the Bloodlines 2 you're playing was explicitly a lowest bidder project made to recoup costs of an earlier failed one. It's not how you describe because Paradox didn't want to throw good money after bad.
>>724376795I don't think VTMB 2 ever had the potential to become another BG3 (dnd is actually really popular unlike this gay vampire shit), but they certainly fucked up by not catering to the established fanbase of VTMB. Either way I never had hopes for this game ever since they canned HardSuitLabs.
>>724377317>all while classic-style JRPGs like Expedition 33, Persona, Dragon quest... heck, even Pokemon, are making a bank.You might want to start comparing sales figures if you think most of those games are outselling modern Final Fantasy.
>>724376795>could've made if they just made it like the first game aestheticallyVTMB can't ever get the soul back at the aesthetic level. You may not understand why the game has atmosphere that people constantly remark on. But it's entirely related to being apart of Half-Life 2's beta engine (unofficially source 2003) as to why it looks as good as it does, but being such an early build of it means that it also never got some of the later features from Orange Box. If you explore plenty of the best community gmod maps of rainy night time city maps it gives off similar vibes to playing VTMB.
So I took an almost two month break from this shit hole website. It looks like it died while I was gone. Did the butthurt from Silent Hill (f)ailure have a big impact?
>>724377545I do that all the time. Modern FF (15, 16, demakes) are flopping, where as literal newcomers are printing money and winning GOTYs.In general, though, you know the discussion not to be on a very honest ground if the defenders of AAA slop only bring up "muh sales". They use the same tactic with the RE and SH de-makes as well, pretending as if gaming as a whole would not have grown exponentially the past 25 years. Generic action sludge always sells better, but it's by no means meant for the same audience.
>>724377405bg3 is also woke, lame, and gay
>>724376795Maybe they shouldn't hire a feminist with experience as a GTA4 tester as a director?
>>724377894yeah but you can kill every faggot you see in that game
>>724377946maybe they should've hiring a studio that makes rpgs and not fucking walking games
>>724377894BG3 is at least a competent game. And an actual role playing game. You can actually choose and skip most all of the woke shit. Focusing on BG3 being woke doesn't help shit.
>>724378139It's like hiring Jared Leto as a movie producer; they know it's over, but there is a small chance to return some money.I am pretty sure the first team burned the budget and made only a gameplay slice for E3. Someone has to turn it into a game with sticks and ducktape
>>724376795have they fixed any of the major bugs yet?
>>724378420this is like asking if your moldy sandwich is good to eat after being infested with bugs
>>724376795>It's insane how much money the sequel could've made if they just made it like the first game aesthetically and gameplay wise seeing how Balders Gate 3 made so much.It's interesting you say that because Baldur's Gate 3 is absolutely nothing like the previous games and basically slapped the original fanbase in the face.
>>724377405You're lame, gay and retarded.
>>724379156You're clearly a homosexual cultist. And probably a domestic terrorist.
>>724376853It's not hard, modern devs are just lazy and stupid. Most of the people working on the game probably don't even really know how to do their job.
>>724376795>like the first game aesthetically and gameplaySo, you just want a remaster/remake
>>724379773No he wants a game that's not a fake piece of shit pretending to be a game it's clearly not.

>>724376836It's a RPG with a DnD ruleset. I've been playing KOTR and i feel the same way, just return to basics (more complex that modern games btw), normies are cattle they won't buy these niche ip games
>>724376795VTMB wasn't some breakout blockbuster hit. It sold 72k copies before Troika went under. If it sold 100k more on Steam and GOG, I'd be amazed.More Bloodlines, even if it wasn't full of game breaking bugs, isn't a recipe for making fucktons of money.Baldur's Gate 3 built off a substantially more popular tabletop game and vidya series. WoD is cursed to be all shit.
>>724376836>do a sequel to a cult classic 23 years later>respects the original material and retains the same feel as the old game while modernizing what needs to be modernized
