This week we talk about the week's BIG story of all RPGs having to live up to the stratospheric standards of the best video game EVER (not called Zelda), Baldur's Gate 3.
Is it a non-story needed to fill a quiet time in the games industry? Are media outlets unreasonable to expect "all" RPGs to aspire to deliver to the Baldur's Gate 3 standard? Should we expect this from "all" game developers?
