FromSoft had enough money to make 200 hours of content but apparently couldn’t figure out 60fps on a 4090. Delivering!
Elden Ring is pretty good, though, don’t let me crap on it. I just wish they’d hire the Bluepoint guys that did the Demon’s Souls remake to handle their systems and engine work and just build content on top of that because, man.
Hey, I’m on board with that idea 100%, but then you can’t complain online about “Western AAA under-delivering”. That’s just “the studio’s own strengths and weaknesses”. Can’t eat your cake and have it, too.
I vaguely remember that, and I think that was more because the original was frequently available for under $5 while the remaster went up at full whack.
Once DSFix was installed, there wasn’t actually a massive difference between the original and the remaster, but still nice that you don’t have to download some random-ass software in order to play at more than 720p and 30fps…
Usually whan people make this argument with BG3 as evidence it comes with the implicit assumption that Larian is a AA developer, not a AAA one. I haven’t done enough research on what constitutes AAA vs AA and where Larian fits in that so I don’t know if that’s reasonable, but that’s the argument.
I’m not really sure on which planet they think Larian is a AA developer. BG3 was certainly north of $100 million to make, and had like 300 people working on it.
Ubisoft recently coined AAAA games in order to justify price rises on their latest mediocre drivel, and the only games I’ve seen that deserve the term AAAA are BG3 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
To me, that’s a product where absolutely no compromise has been made.
So Belgium isn’t a western Nation? Or who does Anon think made Baldur Gate 3?
And Japanese AAAs don’t under deliver?

It’s almost like every game studio has their own strengths and weaknesses? Crazy.

I’m upvoting just for the proper version of the phrase
The original Dark Souls on PC was practically unplayable. Was completely saved by a single modder.
And fans are ridiculously mad that original DS1 was revoked and replaced by the Remaster when it was released on Steam.

They probably bought into the propaganda that all of Europe is overrun by Muslims.
Europe is what? How does one even come up with that? Who says it?
