I just want Pillars of Eternity 3

[Huaquero]

I'm not impressed by Avowed after watching the latest trailers and news about it . It looks hella clunky and apparently its gonna be a 25-30hrs game which is not enough especially after we waited so long for it . Its another overrated POS like the outer worlds ...

Was gonna pre-order the game initially but after seeing the prices hell naw dawg , not to mention there is no reason to pre-order the "standard edition" which gives nothing ...

well both POE games made poor sales so i dont think we can excpect another crpg since it also depends on microsoft

I'm pretty sure both POE games did better on steam than The Outer Worlds .

on steam maybe but POE made about 700K sales and Josh Sawyer said that the second game did worse

The Outer World however sold 5 millions copies

Outer Worlds is ♥♥♥♥ and they gonna make another 1 thats even more ♥♥♥♥ :( POE is just a superior game in every aspect

Yeah, it looks terrible. +1 for PoE 3. Sad to see some of my favourite cRPG's go to die in the action genre.

[AdahnGorion]

That will never happen.
MS does not want cRPG´s as they are not popular with mainstream and hard to play on console.

[Volatile Schemer]

I guess us cRPG fans are a dying breed. At least that's what PoE2 sales figures indicate. I only hope that BG3's success will be food for thought for some decision makers and they'll be more inclined to take the risk.

Why is one of the tags for this LGBTQ+ on the steam page?

BG3 says otherwise.
The issue is that the AAA market have been flodded with the same 3 genres (action shooters, action adventure and sport games) for ages now... its the safe bet, as even bad games would still make a profit. But times are changing.

We also have decent amount of a and aa cRPG developers.

PoE2 was an A title, not AA or AAA


This game is an action adventure with light RPG elements and its console centric

[BigB]

I'm all for a PoE 3 made in the classic cRPG style and with Sawyer or people inloved with 1 and 2 at least - writing the story and quests.
Doesn't need to have a gigantic production value and I would bet even crowdfunding would work again.

[Sir Cuckold]

Yes, please do another kickstarter for POE3 I will pay billions

The sad thing , CRPG doesn't sell well as people don't have the time to sit and read.
A game like outer wilds can easily played casually. Pillars of Eternity is not a casual game.
You gotta focus on the story and read every passage to know what's going on.

I still have my hopes for a Pillars 3.

[Coldhands]

I want PoE3 as well, but I also want Avowed. Hopefully, we'll get both.

BG3 lit the world on fire. I think that's a pretty strong case for the big publishers to take another look at the CRPG genre. Especially if they own a studio renown for making them.

[RileyWRussell]

My understanding is sales for the PoE games, DOS2, etc spiked for a bit once people finished with BG3. There just hadn't been a hyped up mainstream CRPG for the average gamer to be tempted into trying. After finishing it they wanted more, which gives hope to seeing new CRPG's in the future.

[☆ Akazu_]

The average gamer is a casual gamer who is too lazy to use their keyboard , they'd rather play with a controller and have full voice acting.
Larian games are especially targetted to casual players which is nice for them , they sell more.
Even DOS2 sold more copies than Wrath of the Righteous or Pillars of Eternity. Games that modernized classic CRPGs yet kept that same touch of OG Baldur's Gate games.

I do still hold hope that we will get some great AA Crpgs from other studios, considering Baldur's Gate 3 was released last year, it should take some 2-3 more years to see the bubble grow for Crpgs.
