it feels like this is getting worse as time goes on - programming.dev

I’m having a real hard time finishing Baldur’s Gate 3. I wasn’t a fan of Larian’s other games, but I loved the first Baldur’s Gate games. The constant frustration from having to save scum, buggy gameplay, and endless annoying puzzles just makes it a chore. I’ll finish it, eventually, but I need a week between sessions to forget.

People say that it’s a heavily polished game but 4/5 of my characters I had to throw away because of some bug that made their build useless, or put the story in a state that I wasn’t happy with.

If EA put out the exact same game it would have been blasted.

That’s Xcom, baby.

The biggest fallacy I felt from XCom was putting a miss statistic on everything.

You need to walk to work. You take a step forward. You take a step forward. You take a step forward. (Repeat x 1000) You fail your step forward, fall forwards bending your knee back, and become permanently paralyzed! You’re also still expected at the office.

In an action game, if I miss an enemy with an assault rifle…I just shoot again in the same second.
