I brought that up because it means we all need a decent single player experience for when our schedules don’t lineup, which is frequently. When you’re younger this isn’t as big of a problem.
I can't believe it was supposed to last multiple months. By day 3 or 4 my buddies and I were like "well we've seen all there is to see." Probably put 6-8 hours into it. Thanks god BG3 dropped
Slogging through the campaign for 40 hours with maybe 5hrs of interesting story/scenes and 10min of worthwhile cut scenes, all so I could do their Season 1 challenges, which had such riveting tasks as "Modify 2 pieces of armor at the blacksmith" and "upgrade your healing potion" to complete it. Again, this is after i finished the campaign and have a high level character utilizing all the resources/merchants/etc. they have. 15-20% of the "quests" belong in an intro tutorial.
Anyone interested in D4 should just wait until it's like $15. It's incredibly dull.
Square has final fantasy, dragon quest, kingdom hearts, octopath traveler, forspoken, and a myriad of smaller games you aren’t familiar with including lots of mobile game sales. They’ve got like 15 2023 releases on their Wikipedia. They’re doing fine and don’t belong on this list lol
Bioshock aged poorly. Controversial take I know. Bioshock 2 has pretty slick combat still but aside from that narratively they aged like milk and BS1 combat is only fun if you do ice wrench build lol
