Baldurs Gate 3 is the best PC game ever made.

[Ellie]

I played the old ones, I played the new ones, I played the big ones, I played the small ones. From solitary developer to triple A studio, I ventured through the valley of pixels and came out the other side. And I have to report onto you, my friends, my comrades, that Baldurs Gate 3 is, in fact, the best PC game ever made. If you look past the nostalgia you feel for the formative games you grew up with, if you actually look at what Larian achieved, you will know in your heart the truth of my words.

Mechanically, artistically, narratively, musically, it doesn't matter. I'm sorry Elden Ring, Nier:Automata, Breath of the Wild, Witcher... I'm especially sorry Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, my friends. But the fact of the matter is, and it seems objectively correct by any metric, that Larian created the peak gaming experience.

We truly live in the golden age of gaming, at some point we will look back to the early 2020s for PC games with the same fondness that movie nerds look at the 80s. And among all the great titles that we are given, the best among them is Baldurs Gate 3.

Thank you, Larian.

My furry friend, lmao if you must, but don't pretend to deny the truth of my words. BG3 reigns supreme. For now, gaming has peaked.

Music is nice, but they patched out all the sexness.

[Quaffie]

The best pc game ever made is the friends we make along the way

[Aria Athena]

I don't agree with this take, but I also do not mind it.

[victorvnv]

It’s up there with the best.

But the one game I spend the most time and will always be the king of all games was WoW.

Still, Baldur’s gate 3 is right there with The Witcher 3, Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim for me

After that title, dont really need to read the text. It is wrong. Reading the text because I thought it was ironic, I realize reading the text is indeed not needed.

BTW, you see people talking this way in most game forums.

Not a single -information-, just "oh it is nice".

Like, it is artistically good why ? For the many instances in which people look like they are high in bath salts because the systems cant keep the eye track correctly ? Or the many times in which characters seem to be stoking because the mouth has nothing to say so they put a expression that would be for the emotion, but doesnt quite resemble it.
You can see that by looing the very poster as background of this game at the right side here.
Laezel does not seem to be raging, or going "strike true", or even sneaking attack. Most of her face looks "just checking it out", and her mouth seems to be just "the dentist asked be to show how my teeth locks or not when I clench the jaw".

Mechanically ? You mean the camera people complain about, or the clunk movement when you need to step up objects or jump over them ? Or the game mechanics that use random where they should not, and the lack of ability checks for certain classes when they should even be the best suited to check them (like druids or clerics not being able to use wisdom checks in moments which wisdom should be the thing to check).

I like the game, but I like the game as what it is. It is more like the joy of watching "Sharkinado" for Island movie than watching "Shutter Island" for example. Meaning, it is a game to shut down the critical brain, and play along, have fun, and MAYBE turn the brain on a bit for combat, if you want to, but if not, sure you can manage too.

You are wrong, but that's ok. We're all on a journey to enlightenment, and some people just have a longer way to go.

Name a game you'd argue is a better PC game than BG3.

[Mr Fred]

OP got ZERO standard, more at 11.

[DawnCry]

I don't feel like I can agree, many games did better multiple aspects of the game, the only thing in which this game was great and unique is that you have so many ways to solve secondary quests... it feels great on that.

But on the rest of aspects...

-Dragon age origins still for me has the title of best game with different origins and companions.

-Pathfinder wrath of the righteous has more comedy and feels better as a power fantasy.

-Fallout: new vegas will always be a game of great freedom over the storyline.

So yeah, gonna disagree with the title of best game for PC, I have a special love for dragon age origins and fallout: new vegas for that title.

I have all the standards, and BG3 reigns supreme.

[Tenor Sounds]

I've played games that have done parts of BG3 better than BG3, but I can't really name a game that's given it all to me while being pretty decent on almost all of it. There are genuinely epic, amazing moments too.

[Rex is back, baby!]

It is fun and entertaining yes, but is it a GOAT? Ehhhh.

Nothing new and innovative, the push is offset by the bugs and performance issues in Act 2 and 3.

Phenomenal voice acting and animations though...

[OyajiBR☕]

Most high-rated doesn't mean best ever. It surely is very good, but it still feels like early access at some parts.

[Quillithe]

It's not the best game because that's Outer Wilds.

Definitely good though
