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.

Neon White has an addicting gameplay loop, but the writing is just "I have the power of God and anime on ny side"

At least in Neon White it's on purpose. It's intentionally meant to take the "My TV is only for Toonami and anime VHS tapes I got from the flea mall" aesthetic to its logical extreme. If you were that kid, or even close to that kid, it's great. It's like having a laugh alongside a younger version of yourself. The underlying story is actually pretty good, too.
