Baldur's Gate 3 is the kind of visionary experience that only comes around once in a decade, and will undoubtedly shape the future of games for years to come.

    I said it once before but this is exactly the game that needed to come out after Final Fantasy 16, and Dragon Age Dreadwolf’s bullshit is going to look even worse in this game’s shadow. Just to shut up the think pieces and comment sections that claim RPGs becoming God of War clones is somehow the only “modern” direction to take them.

    Hey if we can have several one in a decade world events happening in a short timespan, surely we can get some good games too

    Well DOS2 came out 6 years ago, so hardly once in a decade.

    I dropped it around the 25h mark, but even I can agree it is a good game that’s probably the current best in the genre

      Why you dropped it?

      What other games you played in the genre?

    First story driven game to fully immerse me since New Vegas. I’m about 15 hours deep and I’m not even scratching the surface.

    because it’s a good game, or because they didnt go the DLC route?

          It turns out, if you make a good game, it’ll probably sell well.

    This game has taken me back to my Mass Effect days. I’m so glad I checked this game out, and I’ve enjoyed almost every minute I’ve played.
