Honestly when we look at the graphs, we can still believe in collective intelligence. On December 13, for one negative review, four positive reviews counterbalanced it. The next day it was almost 10 positives to 1 negative. It's nice to see players defending the game against such crude review bombing. Now it's certain that this thing is ridiculous, as Jay says the three games are good. That's all.

You know, I read this speech while going home from work, and I was just like: Damn, the man is right, not only about the gaming industry, but with so many other industries. I got loaded with work since the last few months, I'm so done, my chronic exhaustion was mostly gone, and now it is coming back, because the higher ups are only complaining about numbers. You're punished for not selling enough and I really felt like a number in excel. I remembered how much BG3 helped me with my problems, and was so thankful for Larian, not being such an awful company, and really did something great instead of just looking at players as moneybags. When I read the bad comments, and I was so confused, so thanks for the clarification!

[@JasonDunna]

@@HastursQueen Very well said! We live in a numbers dominated world sadly where the focus is mainly on that. It’s refreshing to see Larian studios work so hard to deliver experiences in their games and focus less on the profits. Like adding modding support and 12 new subclasses.

Swen said what needed to be said about gaming industry these days. If a game is good then the players will come and with that also money! I only discovered bg3 this year but larian showed me what games should look like: great writing, engaging story, no microtransactions, 12 new subclasses for free next year etc. Those bad reviews won't change anything, larian has earned a loyal fanbase because their games are created with passion not just for profit.

[@JasonDunna]

Agreed!!! Baldur’s gate 3 is a master class in how to make a good game, and support it after launch. All the stuff they added is incredible. We’re so lucky to have

Swen Vincke called out the industry and that just made my love for BG3/Larian skyrocket! Good on him and shame on the haters. BUT as the great Taylor Swift says, "Haters gonna hate hate hate so I'm just gonna shake shake shake, shake it off, i shake it off" IMO that call out needed to happen

[@astranger448]

He did not call out the dinosaurs. He gave a masterclass on how to make a good game that earns you money. His intended audience is every aspiring game maker and investor (there are good ones out there too) For all Swen cares, the dinosaurs need to go extinct.

[@gigibubbles8]

@astranger448 "Industry" also includes all aspiring game makers. Not just the "dinosaurs" as you put it. I know he wasn't "calling out the dinosaurs" as you say. I get who his audience is/was.

Unfortunately, it fell on deaf ears. It wasn't us who needed to hear it, it was the CEO's and they do not care.

[@elissahe2377]

I love BG3 too. I think the speech was amazing. I think people don't like the fact that games are a very personal opinion on what's good and what's not. Personally I have a game that I'm enjoying that a lot of people are hating too. That being dragon age the veilguard. People complain about these games being too woke and how they don't like female protagonists, when you get to choose who to play as and my opinion is, let people enjoy the games they enjoy

[@AngelFlores-uo5kv]

[@Old__Odin]

This is just silly Baldur's Gate 3 has already won the GoTY award, so this is pointless. And review bombing a game that is already a successful game and also a year and a half into its life cycle isn't going to do anything. It'll be a minor spec on the reviews that be forgotten in a month.

Larian deserves the love for BG3. People who want to hate this obviously have no true understanding for what was said and why it was said. What I believe is, if you feel so offended or pissed off by a thing that was said or mentioned and it wasn't directed at you, then it was meant for you. All Sven said was "happy devs create great games and to create games you as the devs would want to play"

@ I get that not every game is for everyone, but to be so upset and gatekeep games to the point of review bombing (or paying people to review bomb), is sad. The BG3 community is large and the sheer work you and others put in to making the community even more fun, is what makes this in line with the devs, a GREAT game.

[@arne0107]

There's a lot of lessons to be gleaned regarding language and culture here. Confucian culture, which naturally seeps into language, can sometimes be very vague. The fact there is so much controversy about what exactly the Game Science CEO said may very well be symptomatic of that. But it also goes the other way. Any reasonable English speaker would know Swen's comments were misinterpreted. However, to a Chinese person, being so direct about what makes a bad dev in a speech at a highly competitive GOTY competition was likely interpreted as a vague, sideways shot toward Black Myth Wukong. Because under heavy Confucian culture, one does not so directly insult someone. Instead, they make general, indirect comments about how bad something is, and the listener is supposed to fill in the gaps. Here, it's very possible Swen's comments were interpreted to indirectly tell people who were confident Black Myth Wukong was the GOTY winner, that their dev didn't have the right formula. Of course, however, gamer fandoms will never sit and think about it. They'll just review bomb lol.

Baldurs Gate 3 is far from a garbage game. I don’t know anything about DND and I haven’t played the first 2 Baldurs Gate games. I also don’t normally play games like this. But after playing BG3 quite a few times, I consider it as one of my favourite games of all time

In terms of the translation of the black wukong head guy speech, the problem is that native Chinese speakers are saying opposite things. Some, like what was represented in this video is saying it's not bad and was sarcastic while others are pointing out it was more ranty and profanity laced than the machine translation implied. In the end you can't really trust what others are saying since it's all based on how people translate. Overall, astro bot won, baldurs gate needs to be left alone, and I am sure the devs of black wukong are disappointed but the game was a very strong start in their work in the industry and I hope they make more good games

Copy Pasta or people being jealous that their preferred games didn't win are so petty reasons to hate on it. While I have never really considered TGA very reliable and they usually make more bad choices than good choices; TLOU2 2020 anyone. And they openly admit staff input is 90% while voters are only 10%. They state reasons about platform exclusives being at a disadvantage otherwise; but historically, as of 2017. That has only been accurate for Playstation/Xbox exclusives. Lots of Nintendo IPs still get a combination of popularity and critical acclaim annually. And Geoff Keighley, does not wish to admit it it, but even since Nintendo started doing their own directs as opposed to announcing them at the game awards, he reportedly often purposely tries to ensure Nintendo exclusives avoid winning GOTY with mainly only exceptions being family game nominations. There are even some leakers and hackers who found out that there are cases where even Player Choice awards had reported vote counts that have been falsely reported by the TGA staff. Though, I personally think TGA should have two awards for each category; a staff choice and a user choice. Nintendo Power and Game Informer used to lease writer choice for winners and reader choice for winners for best GOTY, best Action Game, Best RPG, Best Fighting game, Best Handheld, Best Platform exclusives. Astro Bot winning staff choice wouldn't surprise me one bit, with Black Myth Wukong winning User choice was expected. And I enjoyed the actual 2024 video best out of all TGA events. There are lots of criticisms to be had with TGA as a whole, but BG3 should not be blamed for Astro Bot winning GOTY instead of BMW. While a lot of people like to make fun of the numerous people worldwide who voted TOTK last year, or tried to pass "You're just upset your favorite game didn't win." despite the fact that they had a lot of mathematical points to bring up combined with Geoff Keighley legit having some noticeable facts and even basically admits he abuses appeal to authority in the events. But at least they didn't just mass review bomb BG3 on Metacritic like the BMW fans are. I expect the most popular game to win popularity contests regardless personal preference, and I nor many others get upset about favorite games not winning staff choices. But dishonestly from hosts or from fan bases are what bothers me. And even so, I think having a popular choice award and staff choice award revealed together for each category would work wonders. It's sad even the one category that is supposedly all vote based isn't actually all vote based; or not always at least. BMW winning was expected, but not the fact Astro Bot failed to even crack the top 10.

[@Xenolithial]

BG3 is not perfect. There definitely is some things shoved in your face, and act 3 is clearly unfinished and it seems likely it will remain so But even with those things going on it is a very fun playthrough with a decent amount of versatility and a fascinating introduction (at least for me) into some of the deeper aspects of DnD. Larian also clearly cares about what its player base wants (maybe a little _too_ much at times, and that poor squirrel will _never_ be the same). Dunno anything about the game that won and only a little about black myth wukong. Black myth looked like it had fantastic graphics and probably good gameplay. Black Myth Wukong's fans don't have any more hope of cancelling BG3 than the people who tried cancelling Black Myth Wukong had. Good games with a strong fanbase will win out over corrupt studios, asinine awards, or petty rivalry in the end.

[@JasonDunna]

Very well said. I do like that Larian cares a lot about the player base and that’s what Swen said at the game awards will help you win GOTY. Astrobot is really fun, and so is Wukong

[@astranger448]

And every couple of months or so they wrap up some more of BG3 with a huge patch. They will keep doing so till the team has to fully start working on the next game(s). My guess is that they will first do long Early Access periods for their new games and during that time a lot of people will keep working on the final wrapping up of BG3. It is what they did with their previous games. Once they release a Definitive Edition (free to existing players) is going to be when BG3 is done.

[@AB-kk2gm]

What do you mean with "shoved in your face" ? Cant say i felt that way with bg3

[@Xenolithial]

@@astranger448 Could be but from what I'd heard (and I could be wrong) part of why the game was unfinished had to do with Larian having a falling out with I think WotC? Which may not be accurate. But tbh I'm not sure how they'll patch all the things that were left unfinished or just on a weird angle The entrance to Cazador's mansion is through a tower in a wall between two sections of the city. It's a bizarre goblin-road path and once you're inside the only other way in or out is through the sewers The soul coins are made to be a big moral dilemma when in the game they go nowhere. We're told repeatedly how endlessly valuable they are but this never leads to anything substantial. And what they do for Karlach is minimal at best Act 3 is littered all kinds of internal metal as well as whatever the upgraded version is called, which serves no purpose beyond scrap material. Mol's sidequest is technically complete but in one of the least satisfying ways possible overall Just fixing these problems alone would require overhauls of the act 3 map and/or the entire game depending on whether they add actual purpose for this content or instead remove it altogether And these are just a few of the things left in a weird way It's still a good game and Larian has added in more content besides, but Act 3 honestly feels like a bit of a slog to me due to issues like this, and I'm not sure Larian is going to be able to resolve most of it

You rolled a nat 20 initiative! Nice!

The bombing was unwarranted He had valid points in that speech, but his tone and lack of consideration was the issue. Anyone can fail, stumble of regress his comments lacked grace and consideration. And considering how people given BG3 grace and consideration he should not have done that. BG3 was buggy, missing classes, had to get re optimized, the game still missing things that was in early access. Tencent gave them money Hasbro bro allowed them to use a huge ip People invisted into the early access. Not saying praise was not earned, but grace was given. He probably should have toned that down. Still a fun game though. And regards to their next project people are gonna be real critical. Me personally i do not expect it to compare to bg3. The game will probably be okay though.

"Lacked Grace and Consideration" You sound like a massive industry shill. Where has the "grace and Consideration" been for us gamers from these crooked companies who Larian is rightfully calling out?

@xxdiamond_godxx5012 You sound like you did not read my whole comment and just want to argue with me. Did i say anything objectivly wrong? Did i even say anything to support the industry or said i agree with the industry? All i said was he probably should not have said all that. To often these companies and devs say something just to have their foot in their mouth. Sony critized activisions workplace just to have an exec exposed as a predator. CDPR critized Bethesda releasing broken games just to pull a Bethesda worse then Bethesda. I am not say the critism is invalid, but making this comments is arrogant, and all it does is set themselves up for embrassment. Also i dont need a devs to consign my thoughts all they need to do is make sure their games are good products.

Would be nice if you got your facts right. Tencent financed the expansion of the Studio, all for a 30% MINORITY share. Hasbro SOLD them the right to use the IP. And yes, they got 2.5 million people to pay them 60$ each on nothing but a promise because Larian does what they promise. That man was not doing a roast, he was giving a masterclass. He told every aspiring game maker, and every investor who is a gamer too how to make good games and how to make good money. He does not care about the dinosaurs about to go extinct. He literally told you why people give games like BG3 grace and consideration. He told you that if you respect your workers and your players they will give you grace and consideration in return. Their next projects? The man now has a large experienced studio and he knows that he can mine Early Access both for money and for feedback. He owns 70% of the studios shares so he has full control. He is not tied to a publisher. BG3 being the exception they use their own IP so no Hasbro or anybody breathing down their neck. But future is future, nobody knows. But a good start is to get the past right. You can Google it.
