While Baldur's Gate 3 is being widely celebrated by fans and developers alike, some are panicking that this could set new expectations from fans. Good.

I have no doubt that the game is outstanding, but after seeing headlines like this all week, it really smells like an advertising campaign.

Not advertising. These are the Steam reviews. It's organic hype. It's just wierd because we have had such a shit time with AAA games for years.

Not advertising. These are the Steam reviews.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive, but I hope you're right.

It is actually that good. First game to fully recapture the magic of Dragon Age Origins

It might be, but what would that change about the story? Unless Larian is paying other studios to say that they're panicking (which I doubt, for a million reasons), then I'm not so sure there's any difference to the situation.

Sites like IGN must follow gaming trends to survive. BG3 is a huge release and I've been seeing this story everywhere for weeks, increasing in frequency.
