I personally think right now, a lot of the Negative articles / Strongly worded opposing opinion pieces / Trolls / complaining / ect... is just a direct slapback to the game's popularity and should almost just be accepted ( And to a certain extent ignored, players who love this game know already we won, we have this great game
) .
I'm still at act 1 but this game to me is a 9~10 out of 10 an worth every penny I paid. (It's not perfect, I could fill a forum of little changes I would like to see. But overall the game is great)
The game is top notch and I think, sale numbers, player count, most critic reviews, ect. already proves this and regardless of what doubters think Larian has made it's money & Fans (And then some) but all this good press creates a nice big happy elephant with a nice red target for the people above.
If BG3 was just a Meh game, 60%~70% game that made no splash and only a dedicated core of fans supported it. I bet 3/4 of these people wouldn't even bother commenting on it.
The popularity just leads to hack reviewers and "Game Journalists" to write negative review and so on, in order to capture the fringes who didn't like the game (Hey, they need representation too) and some might have a point here or there and if Larian listens some of those critiques it might help the game...
The only thing that slightly annoys me is, I think this leads to some circles to make a concerted effort to only bring Bg3 down to fit their own agenda. I mean, you didn't like, that's fine leave your 0 vote somewhere but I really think some people are just creating bots/fake accounts to spam 0's and that I think the game doesn't deserve. I think Metacritic is a prime example...
Bg3 has a 96 on metacritic, your opinion on this seems strange to me
There is no one spamming 0s
Iv not seen loads of negative articles? I guess some do?
Nearly everything is posative about bg3 (rightly so )
If you are only in act 1 your gonna feel its amazing act 1 is polished to dimond level.
I think this is my primary problem lots of players think act 2 and 3 will be the same quality
Act 2 is imo the worst natively, act 3 the buggiest feels rushed in spots, and the reactivity demnishes a whole lot
3 is better then 2, but it feels rushed compaired to act 1
And the ending feels like its got loads of cut content
Still bg3 is amazing its an insane game, i dont think feeling this way makes me a hater?
Its ok to think bg is the best and deservers nothing but praise but like you say your only on act 1, maybe when you finsh it youll feel more like i do. Maybe not who knows
But yeah nearly everyone has reviewed the game with out finshing it, thats why its getting such a great reception, imo
