It’s anecdotal, but a lot of my friends got bg3 simply because everyone said it was such an amazing, well made game. Most of them never finished a run and said it’s good, but not for them. I actually think it’s not impossible that the genre really isn’t that popular and the game performed so well because most AAA games aren’t made with that level of passion and creativity anymore.
I tried it and I’m not sure if I like it. It seems like the devs expect you to go nova and then rest after every second fight. I’ve put it down for now, and I’ll try again when I have lots of spare time and nothing better to play
Yeah as the other user said, it’s the D&D backbone… I feel like that is the main thing that has prevented me from truly loving the game (and getting past Act 1). I kind of wish they wouldn’t have stuck so strictly to the D&D ruleset.
Maybe try Divinity: Original Sin 2? I’m pretty sure the combat in that one is not D&D based.
Yeah. Not because they were dying for a new crpg, but because they heard it was the highest quality game to come out in years. I don’t think most of them would buy a hypothetical BG4 and a few have already said they wouldn’t.
Honestly that’s fine. Not every game is for everyone.
I bought Hollow Knight because everyone said it was amazing and it seemed exactly like the kind of game I would like. I bought it, played for several hours, but ultimately stopped because I wasn’t having fun.
As a result I didn’t buy Silksong. But… Silksong seems to be doing just fine.
For me Baldur’s Gate I & II were the best games I played growing up. Divinity Original Sin I & II were the best games I’d played in recent years. I had high expectations for Baldur’s Gate III and the game exceeded them.
Of course even I would be wary of a Baldur’s Gate IV. I don’t trust Hasbro to be able to make a quality game.

Played through it with my partner, 10/10 great couples activity.
It’s a great story rich game solo, but the multiplayer is where it really shines when you want that sweet dopamine.

D:OS2 was really fun, I liked it a lot more. But it did take a couple tries for me to get into it, so maybe BG will be the same
They bought it though, didn’t they?

I felt the same way about bg3. It’s an awesome game and my wife loves it, but it’s not for me.
