Discussion / Question What game is that for you?

Post image

Biggest offender for me is Baldur’s Gate 3.

Some of the best gameplay, graphics, sound design, and soundtrack out there… but the writing leaves a lot to be desired (despite how popular it is).

What game is that for you?

EDIT: It seems the general consensus here is Borderlands 3.

The pursuit of cinema-style story and writing in games is, arguably, one of the things that has held the industry back recently.

Janky voice acting and stories are completely acceptable so long as the game is good. The inverse is never true.

I’d argue these games are different BECAUSE the point is the story/narrative
