Baldurs Gate 3 is one of the worst games i've played and it's not even funny!

Before y'all get at my throat, hear me out okay?

While some may laud Baldur's Gate 3 as a monumental achievement in the RPG genre, I find myself unable to join the chorus of praise. From its underwhelming visuals to its lackluster storytelling, the game is a disheartening example of wasted potential.

Visually, Baldur's Gate 3 fails to impress. In an era where stunning graphics are the norm, this game's visuals are a throwback to a bygone era. The character models lack the detail and nuance seen in other contemporary RPGs, and the environments feel uninspired and bland. It's as if the developers intentionally avoided pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity.

Storytelling is another major letdown. The narrative lacks the depth and intrigue that the Baldur's Gate series was once known for. Instead of engaging players with rich lore and complex characters, the game offers a convoluted and disjointed plot that fails to capture the imagination. Dialogue options often lead to unsatisfying outcomes, leaving players feeling detached from the world and its inhabitants.

Furthermore, the game's combat system is a mess. Rather than refining the strategic and tactical elements that made the original games beloved, Baldur's Gate 3 introduces a clunky and frustrating combat system that feels like a step backward. Battles are often mired in confusion, with awkward animations and imprecise controls detracting from any potential enjoyment.

Even the technical aspects of the game are disappointing. Frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes mar the experience, making it difficult to immerse oneself in the world. It's astounding that a game with such a long development cycle could be released in such a sorry state.

In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a far cry from the legacy of its predecessors. With lackluster visuals, a shallow narrative, cumbersome combat, and technical issues aplenty, it fails to capture the essence of what once made the series great. Rather than building upon the strengths of the past, the game squanders its potential and leaves players yearning for a return to the glory days of the franchise.

I can't even believe so many people are loving this game, makes me think that the community got a lot of paid trolls to post positive news and reviews to create an illusion of success. Well i won't bite and i actually just told you today how bad this game is.

Peace

Reviews work better at the store page.

I like that the OP is comparing its 25 year old predecessor, but the first comment is "go back to CoD you capitalist pig!"

Not that I agree with the OP's take on this game. I just find that amusing.

"In an era where stunning graphics are the norm" Isn't there some new shooter that's being praised for exactly the opposite?

"The narrative lacks the depth and intrigue that the Baldur's Gate series was once known for. " Subjective, but I'd agree are elements from BG 1/2 just feel grittier and writing in general is better.

"Furthermore, the game's combat system is a mess." Not really, from reading rest of paragraph not trying to be rude, but practice makes perfect. Is it clunky in ways? sure, but overall it is engaging and I at least hardly find it confusing, but I also know 5e very well and take full advantage of fact it is turn based without a timer and there's an examine function.

"In conclusion, Baldur's Gate 3 is a far cry from the legacy of its predecessors."
ehhhh, subjective statement again. Also totally looking at this with rose tinted glasses, like are you aware of how many bugs, issues, and QoL things the EE editions added and even then patched themselves? None of these games are perfect and all have their bugs and issues.

"I can't even believe so many people are loving this game," I guess if dislike it this much sure, but like I find it hard to believe anyone using the first games, as someone himself who LOVES them to death and will prob play all 3 now in order till day he does on and off again over the years, as a comparison point cannot see the merit of this game.
