I cannot stand turn based combat and generally avoid RPG’s these days and even I think this is a ridiculous take.
I don’t own BG3 but I’ve played at a friend’s place and that game is about a thousand levels deeper than Starfield. If you like RPG’s and mucking around with dice whilst you play computer games, BG3 is a god damn masterpiece.
I hate those types of games and I’ve still managed to sink 50 hours in bg3 and I’m not even done with the first act yet. It’s the new standard for AAA gaming.
The larger studios need to take notice. All of the positive press and heartfelt words about this game have been heard the world over.
You CAN deliver a complete product with no microtransactions and have people absolutely frothing over it and make a big pile of cash.
It’s REALLY not my cup of tea, but I can’t pretend for one second that the game isn’t the absolute tits. It’s fucking amazing, really. I just can’t do turn based. At that point I may as well get a DND group together.
Oh, it’s turn-based?? I thought I would buy it but turn-based completely ruin the immersion for me. I never understood how you’re supposed to suspend your disbelief when everybody politely waits for the opponent to strike.
