Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

BG3 and Diablo 4 coming out the same year as legacy franchises of PC really shows how far the industry has fallen.

My husband has a game pass sub for Xbox and he's only bought 3 games this year; Diablo 4, Mortal Kombat, and BG3. Diablo 4 got broken almost immediately with shitty patches and he seriously regrets wasting the money. Mortal Kombat at least will be a slow burner as they space out the drops for the extra characters. But BG3 he's been playing non-stop since Thanksgiving. (Like to the point where he checked in with me to ask if I was annoyed at listening to the audio constantly.) That game was well worth the price I just wish more games were like this.

I remember asking my other half if the sound was annoying her, and she told me she enjoys the stories in the game.

I enjoyed the story of the game but after watching Asterion's sacrifice ritual for the tenth time I put my earbuds in and listened to a podcast for a bit. 😂

Played D4 because my friends were playing it. It's such a boring piece of shit. Somehow it loses everything fun the past 2 entries had.

You say 2, so at this point im wondering if youre in the "d1/d2 rules" camp, or the "d2/d3 rules" camp haha

I meant D2 and D3. I never played D1 unfortunately. Was too big into NexusTK at that point.

Never too late. Its 9.20 on GOG, and together with devilutionX you can play it nicely today. Ive personally played it on my modded switch through devilutionx :p
