Being a turn based, heavy dialogue driven game, I guess it is not for most people. Yet they sold A LOT, so it makes me wonder how many bought it without knowing how it is.
Wondering cuz my friend bought it and told me he regrets it, thinkig it was an action-RPG.
Then over the weekend, my cousin visited(he is kinda autistic, srs), and he saw me playing it and said it is boring. Of course his favorite game are shooters esp CoD.

I don't get it honestly, I have limited time for gaming as an adult and I genuinely couldn't imagine spending it playing a game that's turn based and dialogue heavy. Just sitting there and investing my free time into video game character relationships lol, Def couldn't be me.
Maybe I'm just an adhd gamer but I need more action, I don't play video games that slow. Looks so incredibly boring, let alone the amount of cringe from being involved in these weird video game sexual relationships.
Everyone wants something different out of how they play games so I try not to be too judgemental about it. Play what you like. But to me that game is pure cringe and boring af looking on top of it.

Narrative-driven, dialogue heavy, turn based CRPG, it's most definitely a niche genre, no two ways about it.
On the other hand I just can't take people seriously who fork out cash for a game without even looking up what they're buying. Especially after 3 years of early access, it's not like they were hoodwinking gamers about the playstyle.

I personally quit DOS2, despite all the praise, because it didn't grip me enough. This is due to similar reasoning in the OP, srs.
BG3 is managing to keep my interest though. Most of my time spent on it is either exploring/combat. Sure there's some dialogue, quests, trading, but some of that only helps to add immersion, some of that helps to get useful items.
I can only play in small spurts though. 75% of the time I'd rather play Call of Duty. But when I finally decide on playing BG3, I don't regret it.i7-14700k

How strong of a fomo would someone need to have to just simply click buy on a game simply because it is popular. If someone bought BG3 and regretted it because it's not an action RPG then they're morons for not spending even just five minutes to look up some gameplay trailer.
Afaik Larian didn't even mislead people in the marketing to make them think that BG3 is an action RPG whereas it's hard to say the same about Todd Howard marketing Starfield's exploration as something like No Man's Sky and that the game is RDR2 in space

Yet I own more gaming platforms than you, probably have a bigger steam library, and don't limit myself to one platform or genre of games because of brand loyalty.
And BTW, don't respond about how you have a gaming pc you just upgraded because no one believes it.
Fair enough, different strokes for different folks. I can understand wanting to relax, there are plenty of days where I've had a long day at work then I hop on apex legends and get owned and just hate my whole day and wonder why I even booted up lololSometimes I park in handicap spaces, while handicap people make handicap faces

All these platforms yet all you play are 2 online multiplayer games. Can you enlighten us on which single player games you completed in 2023?
Also, I played only one game, DOTA2, competitively for a decade and played it seriously. Of course I always had a decent PC. I only switched to PS5 last year remember.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I'm not asking you to post pics or go out of your way.
Since you seem to know what great single player games should be like, I'm just curious on which bangers you beat this year that left you in disbelief how an "incredibly boring" game like Baldur's Gate got so popular.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Why do you even care, go dick ride someone else for once. You take personal offense to me not liking games it's so fukkin cringe. Anyone else could say they didn't like it but you only quote me and demand I list games that I think are better than balders gate lmao. Why do you even fukkin care? Are you that desperate to argue?
there's plenty of people who aren't interested in turn-based video games. Stop obsessing over me and mine every time I post an opinion you don't like.Sometimes I park in handicap spaces, while handicap people make handicap faces

You didn't just say it's not for you, you said things like story arcs, dialog, character relationships and so on are incredibly boring and you cannot fathom how people could like that stuff.
Meanwhile, most people who actually enjoy single player games enjoy them for those very reasons. This is why you sound like a sweaty multiplayercel who is just out of his element. Is it so hard to tell us which single player games you completed this year so we can have examples of actual fun games?▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I thought act 1 was a little on the slow side.
Act 2 was perfect, creepy atmosphere, lots of interesting discoveries. Terrific resolution and one of the better acted video game characters in ketheric.
Act 3 just light your hair on fire. There's so much going on its hard to keep pace. And the city is so huge and detailed it's tough to walk from one side to another. Not to mention all the dungeons and side maps you have to explore. It's just crazy and takes forever to finish a quest and it feels like there's at least 100 different things to do at any given time.

It's so fukkin old now idk how this dork still wants to argue over nothing burgers every time I enter a thread and post something he doesn't like. Like I said. Who fukkin cares. Just move on. It's my opinion. I think the game looks whack.
Did anyone else get upset enough to the point of demanding I list games I completed in 2023? No? Only Coal Man because he's a fukkin weirdo who just wants to argue with me. Like I said, cringe.Sometimes I park in handicap spaces, while handicap people make handicap faces

I play em all baby
I just have played apex the most/longest and it's what the majority of ppl in my discord play so easiest to find a pug.
I don't play battle royals to loot, I hot drop and fight, the only thing I need to loot is dead bodies and it takes 2 seconds and then I am W key to the next gunshots.

I don't think I'm dick riding it as much as I just think some of the people hating on it are lulzy considering it's the usual suspects who aren't even playing the game being the most vocal. None of my posts 'defending it' have been towards people who actually downloaded and played the game. It's been to the 3 resident sonycels who aren't playing the game, yet are posting about it non stop. But I think those of us who frequent this section saw that coming from a mile away.
I posted a pretty fair (imo) review when I initially played a bit. I would hardly call this dick riding the latest toddslop. I'm not even a Bethesda fanboy. I played fallout 4 and a little bit of new Vegas. Nothing else.

I regret paying as much as I did ($70) for the game, I should have waited and played other stuff I bought. Overall I like the game, the characters, interactions and the depth of customization of the MC and classes. I like the concept of the strategy and mechanics, but the combat pacing is awful. I've played turn based games like FF and Persona 5 Royal, but fights in this game almost feel like boss fights in terms of time and these dice rolls are brutal. Between playing on a higher difficulty and save scumming, I feel like I'm wasting time, and I want to play something else. I turned down the difficulty to the lowest setting, and it's much more tolerable now.
For the hardcore guys that love this stuff, I'm honestly happy they're enjoying it. For me, I don't see myself playing it more than once, and hopefully I can finish it.Misc Firearms Crew

I don't see how anyone could buy this and not know what to expect.
It was in early access forever, it's digital only, so you can't even buy it based on cool box art. There's literally screenshots and stuff to look at before pulling the trigger. A quick Google search would let you know what you're getting into.***The Misadventires of Gandalf the Black***
