#2This is one of those games that I would have chewed on all summer back when I didn’t have responsibilities to tend to.
To those who might consider themselves “well-rounded” with careers and families and sports etc. Does that magic and sense of free time to dig deep into something ever come back?

Ending my career was the best choice I made last year

Nope

#5Kind of silly that before the game is even released, competitors are calling foul that the game is going to be “too good”. Seems like cope to me.

#6> However, some devs are urging players not to rate all other games in the genre by such a high standard, appealing to Larian Studios’ unique combination of vast experience and resources.
AAA game labels spend billions on producing mediocre quality bullshit sequels just to maximize revenue predictability rather than quality, originality or artistic value. That's their choice.

Once I did the maths on how many Sunday afternoons I have left (if I live a median lifespan) I found it really hard to spend much time on videogames, sadly.

I think this is just something that changes over time. Could I spend every single waking moment of my life (aside from work) playing Zelda? Sure, I guess. Will I? Nah. Not because I can't, but because as I grew up I realised there are more important things to experience in life other than 24/7 escapism. I will still play and enjoy it, just not in the extreme way that I would if I was still a teenager.

Speaking in days or years, life somehow seems very long. But when you speak in weeks, and visualize it as such, suddenly it seems so incredibly short.

#10I'm still not convinced it's worthy of the Baldur's Gate name. I'll wait for the actual reviews.
Also, there is such a thing as too big a game. I've played some great games lately that could have used being 30-50% shorter.
