I don’t know anything about this game or it’s predecessors. Is it just a fantasy RPG or what’s the hype all about? How is it different from other fantasy RPGs?

    Alright alright, I’ve taken the bait. I successfully avoided wanting it until now. I hope you’re happy, you just destroyed a lot of my productivity 😭

      It is a really well done game! It’s a bit complex compared to Diablo, more slow paced and super tactical vs. pure hack and slash. I love both!

        I’ve sunken way too much time into the first two, I guess it’s finally time for round three. It’s been a while.

      To me, video games are never worth 60 dollars. Ever. I usually wait until they are on sale and if they don’t go on sale I just never play then.

      I get FOMO for about a week and then it fades away entirely. Most of the time the amazing game everyone is losing their minds over ends up getting massive complaints once the rose colored glasses wear off.

        I also rarely pay full price (maybe 4 times since and including Portal 2), but the developer’s previous game Divinity: Original Sin 2 has given me about 120 hours of play time with a friend, plus 70 more solo. There’s every indication BG3 is bigger and more diverse, so I expect it to cost AT MOST 50 cents per hour, probably a fair bit less.

        Was a video game worth $40 in 1995? Because if you paid that back then, that’s the equivalent to $80 today.

        So yea, paying $60 sucks, but game prices haven’t kept up with inflation at all. Not to mention the $40 game in 1995 took a dozen guys months to create, while a $60 game today takes 5+ years and hundreds of people.

        True, but you forgot one thing:

        I’m an idiot! Hahahaha!

        Oh wait. That’s not a good thing…

        Normally you’d be right, only this game has been in early access for three years before release. That time playing it in beta made me more excited for the final game than any other game. It is a game with depth, layers and complexity. After 10 hours with it, I’m certain: it is my GOTY
