I really don't understand how so many users are failing at some basic empathy + reading comprehension tests in this thread WRT the sentiments expressed by the tweets in the OP and especially after seeing the video that
Crossing Eden posted. It does not reek of jealousy or putting down Larian/BG3 at all to me, I can totally understand the concerns over toxic fans and trolls going after studios in Steam review sections because the new Pathfinder or Obsidian game doesn't have the levels of reactivity BG3 does. This site tends to be more reasonable than most but that's due to the strong moderation, its like some of ya'll never poke your heads out of this site and see the kind of shit flinging devs have to deal with on the reg from the rest of the internet. The BG3 reactivity thing is one more to add to the pile for potential ammunition from these types of "gamers".
I'm not pointing fingers at specific individuals but it feels like there's an element of not examining one's own biases WRT how games do adjust expectations for other games in like genres, be it open world, crpgs, action games etc. Did we suddenly forget how many times BOTW was brought up in convo in however many threads as a cudgel towards other open world games? And I've been somewhat guilty of this myself, OW games esp Ubi formula ones don't cut it anymore, I need something smaller and/or more hand crafted with less busywork and padding, but that's also shifting tastes in general as I get older. But no, I do not expect the industry at large to suddenly make TOTK tier OW games because of the nightmare QA logistics involved with coding those kind of physics interactions across such a huge game, its really a miracle of engineering something like that works as well as it does and on Switch hardware to boot!
Ultimately we're not talking about level headed takes regarding these games, these are from the Steam review crowd where review bombing is a regular thing and can drastically affect sales of new game releases. At least Valve has been trying to curb that kind of thing but I'm not sure how effective those changes have been.
