It's pretty simple. The game is extremely good. It is a game of the generation contender. Some may say it’s a game of the past decade contender. It is an elaborately woven tale of character development and creative gameplay in the vein of Dungeons and Dragons that will stun almost any player, even those new to TTRPGs.
And that's the entire article.
- I bounced right off BG3, just like I did DOS2. Personally, I enjoyed the Owlcat Pathfinder games much more.
  I'll probably give it another shot with a different character in a couple of weeks.
Why are we shocked that people got a popular video game for Christmas?
That's how I got it. I was going to wait for a 50% off sale.
- Spot on. Forbes articles are pure clickbait without any substance.
- Especially after is won game of the year at the Game Awards. This seems pretty normal to me.
- Exactly. Plus it just won Game of the Year, thus getting more publicity. And it got released on X-Box, which is again more publicity.
Why?
It's not like it hasn't received plenty of coverage.
