Man, it feels like this game has zero hype among the general gaming community. Such an unfortunate release window, the full launch is getting drowned by damn near everything releasing in the fall.
What makes you say that? cRPGs are probably always going to be a bit niche compared to some other genres, but I thought the BG3 slot was the most impactful of the PC Gaming show and the host seemed more enthusiastic about it than most of the other games, plus BG3 has featured on quite a few 2023 most anticipated games lists so I think we can anticipate good and positive review coverage. The release window has undeniably become crowded, which probably isn’t beneficial, but I was still feeling quite optimistic that BG3 would find its audience, though it’s never going to be for everyone.
Of course, I’m biased (or at least nothing else in the release window interests me nearly as much) and most of what I’ve said is about media coverage rather than community hype anyway, so I’d be interested in your take.
