I’m sorry the terminology is so vague and inconsistent, and I’m so disengaged from “gaming” culture and behind on genre labels that I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you mean the genre formerly known as “point-and-click adventures”, like Disco Elysium?
bruh this looks identical to diablo. no really this is my first time seeing the game and i thought i must have typed diablo into the search by mistake. What makes it a different genre?
Did you actually look at the gameplay or did you stop after the first still image showed that Diablo and BG3 both have a top-down perspective and general medieval fantasy theme?
Other than the perspective and some of the more general RPG features like leveling and loot, they have very little in common. BG3 is the perfect, but unfortunately rare, example of a mainstream game that deliberately doesn’t follow the more toxic trends of the industry
watching more, ok i see the difference now and wow this looks so damn tedious to play. I didn’t think they could make DnD any less appealing but they somehow pulled it off.
If that’s as deep as your understanding of a game goes, then nothing anyone here says will make you see otherwise. I say this sincerely: I hope you find a game this year that re-sparks your optimism for the industry, because it has more to offer in spite of the cynical publishers that have stomped into it over the last decade or two
That’s worse than saying Call of Duty and Counter Strike are identical. You shoot guns and play against other people in both, but they’re significantly different experiences. You can play deliberately in COD or run and gun in CS, but that isn’t what each game rewards. The focus of each game is drastically different. CS doesn’t have killstreaks like in COD, and Diablo doesn’t have comprehensive roleplaying like in BG3.
i already said i take it back, this looks way more tedious and chorelike than diablo, I’m getting that mixture of bored and frustrated just watching it
I did, I ditched those lame nerds who play games where you sit and wait most of the time and act like something’s wrong with you when you don’t love it.

No, I’m not talking about adventures. Just look up some gameplay videos for Baldur’s Gate 3.

Hint: the combat isn’t the point. The characters and narrative are. It’s literally DnD.
hint: that tracks because DnD is literally the least fun game I’ve ever made the mistake of trying to play
Get better friends.
