If your 15 to 25 years old and never gamed in the 90s, early 2000s. I get it. Nothing too great to boast about in the last decade. So many ACTION RPGs, remakes, and "socially aware" modernized enhanced editions...with a very few pretty good cRPGs...So BG3 seems like the second coming.
I don't understand this argument. There are a lot of actually very good cRPG. Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2, Atom, Pathfinder 1 & 2, heck even DOS1 & 2... Or in a very different style, but somehow related, Disco Elysium ? There IS a number of good recent games in this niche.
Samely, the countless arguments I saw praising BG3... often just feel like someone played his first cRPG and is awed by something that... we find in every other cRPG ? Just like Skyrim, it seems that it's like a new generation of players is discovering a genre through a gorgeous and overhyped game, and fail to realize that everything it does has already been done before several times, and as such hail it as a revolution.
