    Don’t tell the forums that, they’re convinced it’s an unplayable woke government ops pathetic remake zoophilia kissing simulator insult to d&d. It’s got so many bugs you can’t play it on anything short of a super computer, and is targeting children with it’s addicting gameplay and low system requirements.

    Every day there’s a new 3 page screed expanding each of the above adjectives into paragraphs of garbage. Yet somehow most of the authors don’t own the game, and it’s has a overwhelmingly positive rating…

      TBH it’s really not that surprising, just classic gatekeeping - cRPGs were very niche for a long time and those people dislike the fact many new people are suddenly interested in them because of this game.

      I kinda get it in a way, I think some other games in the genre deserve this success more, but at the end of the day it’s still better than most of the shit released lately.

      This is far too many Steam forums lately, and I don’t know why or what hurt these people. If you ask the Steam forums, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failed because it went woke and hired some diversity consultancy firm that only these people know the name of and hold up as the antichrist.

          Right. I’m afraid to start googling for the answer, but I suspect there’s an Alex Jones type, or the equivalent that cares about video games, basically painting them as the George Soros of video games.

        You don’t leave a detailed review unless you want to support the artist in question or you fucking hated it so much that you would take the time to warn others away or you want to be intentionally confrontational and act like a troll. In a huge game like bg3 or Suicide Squad the artist support is fractured at best so all your left with is the bile

          These aren’t the reviews, they’re the forums. Used to be you could ask a question and get an answer from a fan or often times the developers. Now it’s just people crying about games being “woke”, as though that word actually means anything anymore, even in a game as near-universally beloved as BG3. But you can find the same thing happening in Starfield, Suicide Squad, or even Skullgirls.

            Forums have always had losers and trolls dwelling there, the issue is the helpful people went elsewhere like discord, reddit, and the fediverse.

      It did have a “literally unplayable” save deletion bug on Xbox until recently. I just waited for them to fix it before spending my money.
