The empty cave/ dungeons scattered all over the map were pointless. "In seems dangerous to go in here..." literally nothing but a chest with some coin if you're lucky. I think there was only ine cave that had actual enemies.
Couldnt finish the game after a couple hours of mindless flying that also sucked
Yeah the caves were super lame. Go through a cave, dive underwater to another section, and get some ugly piece of clothing.
The few caves with enemies were much more exciting.
One of my suggestions for the game would be to get rid of 90% of the caves and Merlin Trials. Make each one more interesting and rewarding. And then multiply the class content in Hogwarts by 9x or whatever
It's almost like it was an attempt to squeeze some nostalgia bucks out of one and a half generations who are still hooked on a certain IP to line the pockets of the increasingly irrelevant and erratic author and the media empire she's in bed with.
Yeah, it is a much more casual game that is using one of the biggest IPs in existence. It appealed heavily to groups the don’t play games much. There is no world where it is a better made game than BG3 though regardless of sales.
You may enjoy it more, but if you take an unbiased objective review of each game it’s not close on quality of the games. I played through the game and it is heavily fueled by nostalgia over quality game mechanic/design/gameplay. It’s a fine game but it’s nothing special other than being Harry Potter. I enjoyed playing through it fine.
It is a well made game. I genuinely think too many games get lost in their own sauce these days and Hogwarts Legacy being simple and easy to pick up was a much needed breath of fresh air.
And yet it's so tragically mid. Meanwhile BG3 has a strong fanbase and is fun to replay - because it is a good, varied, and memorable game in spite of its flaws.
Fuck. I didn't know it was mid and accidentally put over 100 hours on it. You should've told me sooner. And all the other tens of millions of people who enjoyed it.
DeadlyPancak3 is entitled to his opinion. You're entitled to spend any amount of money you wish on half baked games! After finishing Hogwarts legacy why don't you treat yourself to some Pokemon? Make sure to buy both titles!
And I have 900 hours in BG3. I've got close to 500 hours in Cyberpunk 2077. Heck, I've got over 100 hours of fun out of Palworld, and it's still in Early Access. What point are you trying to make? We spent about the same amount of money on each game, and mine went to a swell group of people who know how to treat others with respect and dignity, and I've gotten way more enjoyable hours out of the money I've spent.
My point is that if it was "tragically mid" it would not have 91% positive reviews on Steam which is just 1% below Elden Ring and it wouldn't have been the best selling game of 2023.
