I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

That was bauldurs gate 3 for me. I started a co-op game with my husband and neither of us made it farther than about two hours in. It just didn't click with me.

Same. I wanted to like it.

I’ve found those games to be better in single player. Running around with your friends is like herding cats when I just wanna enjoy the story.

I feel infinitely sorry for both you and your husband for never being able to enjoy one of the best games of all time.

BG3 can be fun to play and all, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. BG3 wasn't even the best game of 2023.

[–] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Subjectively for me, it was. The only two games in 2023 that were in the contest were the RE4 remake and TotK, but BG3 is probably the game I played significantly more.

Objectively, it is the best game of 2023 if we consider how many awards the game won and how well it sold.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 6 days ago

For me Alan Wake 2 was the best game of 2023.

Gotta be honest, I had the same experience as op. I could write paragraphs on how much I desperately wanted to like the game Vs how disappointed I was in it. It really made me sad.

[–] AbsolutelyNotSpez@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

In the same boat as OP. I love gaming, I love well made Fantasy media, but I absolutely hate High Fantasy and the entire D&D universe / franchise. No Baldur's Gate games for me.

I must suck or it must be hard, but I restarted like 3 times before it clicked.
