BLIZZARD had 9,166 people working on Diablo 4

I find it funny that AAA studios who calls out Larian Studios for funding, staff and time spent making the game is why BG3 is great and we shouldnt expect the same of other studios.

meanwhile...

Blizzard had 9,166 people working on Diablo 4
Blizzard had spent 6 years making Diablo 4 (roughly the same amount of time)
Blizzard had considerably way more funding than Larian Studios.

....and you can see the result of Diablo 4 compared to BG3

anyone who keeps crapping at BG3 at this point is either
ignorant or in denial.

Up to a point "xxxxxx" number of employees is a terrible argument. Yeah you can give them smaller sections of the game to code, fewer models to design or draw, rigs to animate, etc, per person but it does absolutely nothing from a design standpoint. Literally a handful of people per department get to okay anything remotely significant.

Only so many hands fit in a pot.

whos ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on it? theyre just saying "dont hold us to this standard" and i understand their concern and defensiveness cos blizzards shareholders wouldnt let its devs make bg3 and devs always take the blame for that.

The main problem with current Blizzard is that they have no idea what FUN means.

It's not that they don't know, it's that they don't care.

Modern games, especially "service" games with microtransactions, have perverse incentives for the developers - the way to make the most money is not to make the best game, but to make the most addictive game which is actually very different.

Blizzard has long since ceased to try to make games as fun as they can be, instead focusing on making games as profitable as they can be.

This number is as BS as saying there are 17000 endings.

I mean we are just now finding out that Act 2 and 3 are kind of an unfinished mess though. So, I wouldn't give Larian so much praise just yet. They had years to get Act 1 right and they did that, but the following clearly still needs a lot of work.

D4 may be ♥♥♥♥, but so is BG3. Saying "don't crap on Larian because they had less devs" is an idiotic argument. A broken and unfinished game is *still* a broken and unfinished game.

i think that BG3 is still more playable than most AAA titles in recent years.

Bottom line is every Diablo game after Diablo2 is bad. Tried them and they suck.

Diablo1 = great
Diablo2= the BEST

3 and 4 sucked.

They mistakenly thought better graphics were gonna make the game fun I guess.

Honestly though it be nice to leave this kinda stuff out of this forums.

Its not the better graphics that killed them its the preddatory behavioir of that company thatt made those games bad.

My guy, BG3 is a buggy mess with missing features, a ton of cut content and a rushed last third of the game. You're chucking Lightning Bolts from a straw house.

you need to stop smoking crack.

[Naamtar]

Blizzard's PR team are habitual liars and their dev teams are, largely, fresh out of college junior developers.

They have three things going for them:
1. The legacy Blizzard North left for the company.
2. The art/music teams are, and always have been, solid.
3. The core mechanics of their games are always fluid and responsive, movement, etc.
