    Can we stop with limiting games to three players, please? Its really annoying finding 4 and 5 player games these days.

      What’s a fourth player going to do in this game though? you only have three characters in a party at any time

        Expand the party size? But even ignoring this one edge case where the game is literally only capable of having 3 people in a party and not expanding it for some reason, 99% of all other games out there can have expandable party sizes and scalable enemies without issue. They just don’t.

        3 player arbitrary limitations are not born from technical limitations (unless you’re very bad at programming). Its either the developer picking an arbitrary/focus group number, or there is a specific game design reason which, in large groups, nobody really cares about story or whatever.

        Its annoying to have your only options to play a 5 player game be CounterStrike, League of Legends, or an MMORPG, because developers keep making games for only 3 people.
