@gaeandilth: You simply saying BG3 isn't good on any level is not a convincing argument when there are somany other people just as qualified saying it's great.

@gaeandilth: There must be a whole lot of D&D nerds out there. It's got over half a million positive reviews on Steam alone.

@pauls: That’s a good point about it being creator club content. Honestly, I forgot that was a thing.

@astrokidwell: Isn’t Fallout 4 single player only? And Isn’t all this stuff free with the next gen update?

@naomha1: Definitely agree on a Deus Ex remake.

@vgmkyle: CNET hasn't owned GameSpot for a few years now, but I seriously doubt they're responsible for the general decline in dedicated news sites. It's not just GameSpot that's in decline; it's all of them. Remember GameSpy? Joystiq? GameTrailers? 1UP? GameWinners? All gone now. Social media and easy video streaming are doing the websites what the websites did to the print magazines, and I suspect paying someone to review a 40+ hour game multiple times across different platforms is not something sites like GameSpot can afford to do anymore.

@vgmkyle: If you say so, though I suspect GameSpot was a much more profitable enterprise with a much larger staff when Pandora Tomorrow came out. This kind of dedicated news site isn't exactly a growth industry anymore.

@vgmkyle: Publishers generally send out early review codes for the platform(s) they want a game reviewed on. Reviewing multiplatform games on other systems means buying the game after release and writing a late review that's practically identical nine times out of ten.

What would be nice is a return of the game stat block on reviews that listed developer, publisher, release date and platforms.

@G-Corleone: I mean, Nintendo does make a lot of good games every generation.

@just_visiting: I don't know about crappy; it's getting pretty good reviews. Maybe niche, but it's not my niche, so I can't really say. And I'd say definitely Japanese, but isn't the developer Korean?
