You're asking a subjective question that we cant answer for you because better in this case is determined by your subjective interests.

That said there are tons of videos and twitch streams out there for your to watch and decide for yourself.

I have already put like 600-700 hours probably on BG3 while D4 got bored beyond repair by the time I hit lvl 80, then just stopped logging

But it’s just me hating grinding based games.

Doing the same dungeon or event over and over just to get the same loot but with slightly better stats so I can then do the same dungeon with slightly better opponents just to get more slightly better loot just isn’t my idea of fun.

Diablo just feels lifeless to me, the world is boring , grim and dark , no memorable characters or big moments that are worth remembering.

BG3 has so many characters that I will always remember, so many cool moments and battles that actually feels epic. Like Raphael in house of hope the first time you fight him without the stupid exploit strategies from YouTube

Or the final battle , or the epic run in the Iron throne where you desperately try to save everyone with a timer .

Diablo feels like a ripoff in comparison.

Now if you ask about WoW vs BG3 then the answer is a lot harder , as WoW is very similar world wise with so many races classes , skill trees etc and is also full with Bright colors and has many epic moments and battles
Good answer what about combat gameplay? I saw in Youtube this look like classic RPG or like Final Fantasy original gameplay? does in combat gameplay count movement step?

BG 3 by far, for me.

Different genres, so no real comparison is possible.

Better to ask which is better, Baldur's Gate 3 or Starfield.

Or

Which is better, Diablo 4 or Lost Ark

Combat is very subjective.

BG3 is turn based so slower combat however you have a party of 4 instead of just one in Diablo. Also you have alot more options in BG3 as you have what 12 classes all of whom can be merged with other classes instead of Diablo 4 having 5 classes and nothing else. Also in BG 3 you have races so a lot more cosmetic options as far as your character.

D4 has much easier and fast paced gameplay, it also has PvP zones which actually feel dangerous and thrilling as you can get ganked by other random players .

Back in the day I chose Diablo 2 over BG2 and never finished BG2.

But today I much more like BG3 over D4, I feel Diablo has a big problem and that’s all Diablo games are the same. Every one from D2 , D3 , D4 starts with 5 classes then they add 2 more with expansions and the story is always the same . Diablo attack’s sanctuary and all of a sudden the entire map is filled with demons and undead and you need to squash him.

Noting original , just the same old song

BG3 has new types of enemies, different final boss, cinematic cut scenes etc.

So if you like a game for the story and are ok with slower combat and more options for character development go BG3

If you just like to blow some steam and just kill masses of enemies with a rather basic story , then go D4.

Diablo 4 buyers regret (major disappointment) BG 3 very happy with the purchase... about the only comparison I can make.

I mean ... are you looking for a CRPG or an ARPG. They're real different kinds of games. I guess if you could only ever buy one, I'd say get BG3. D4 is fun, but it doesn't have much of an endgame yet and feels like it needs one. BG3 isn't necessarily something you'd spend any more time with than D4, but there's an ending.
Right now, BG3 is a better CRPG than D4 is an ARPG. But still, two real different games and you can have a good time with either.

Soup or apples which better?

D4 is obviously bad. Don't know anyone that has said it wasn't.
Put aside the comparison, D4 is still a terrible buy.

The story of D4 was good and the cinematics were awesome. But that literally only took me about 35 levels and then I got to lvl 100 of D4 by spinning circles for hundreds of hours. Literally. Just. Spinning. Some people like spending hundreds or thousands of hours spinning circles around the screen just to re-kill the boss they had defeated 70 levels earlier, and D4 is for them.

BG3 is a whole different level. I enjoyed nearly everything about it and I've spent hundreds+ hours playing it different ways. That said, some people are turned off by the combat because it's turned-based rather than holding the same button the entire time.

Well, in gay sex alone BG3 wins by a country mile.

That's like comparing Call of Duty to military sims like ARMA.
