I don't know what to tell you about this other than it has nothing to do with the game being 'old school' or not. It sounds like you just hate Baldur's Gate 3.
If I thought about this game the way you did and sat around on a forum talking about it all day - that would cause me to do some self reflection. There are a lot better things to do than sit around writing about a video game (of all things) that you just legitimately do not enjoy.
No need to personally attack someone. If you don't like their posting, feel free to ignore it. Making commentary on their personal life isn't helpful, and it's unkind.
I... didn't personally attack anyone?
I said it seems like he hates the game - which it seems like he does. Then I gave him some advice afterward - which is that if you hate something then why sit around and post about it?
I'm not trying to be a jerk. It is just an honest assessment. If I bought a game (specifically an RPG) and thought:
I get no roleplaying, no immersion, no replayability, no meaningful character development, and no enjoyable and memorable party companions.
And that the combat was:
interspersed with gimmicky and tedious
Then I wouldn't waste my time sitting around and discussing it. I'm not sure why you think that is mean?
You did make it personal, but whatever.
To address your uncalled-for "advice," it would be a very simply matter to keep me from posting about the game, and even from being on this forum: just get Larian to not call their game Baldur's Gate 3. They CHOSE to name their game "Baldur's Gate," and as a passionate fan of the first two of those games which have a very personal cherished place in my heart, I belong in this forum and do get to comment on a game that is, in my view, doing a grave disservice to those first two games that carried that title. I don't care at all for the D:OS games, but never once chose to post anything on their forums. Because they didn't matter to me, just like the hundreds of other games out there I don't care for. I even joined this forum only after BG3 was announced, entirely because of the title of this game. If not for that title, I wouldn't give a damn.
