Comment on I feel like Expedition 33 is overrated [minor spoilers]

It was definitely worth of goty for me, but I still think bg3 is my favorite game personally, I’m a huge sucker for crpgs, because I play a lot of tabletop. I do agree with the art style gripe. I feel like there are prettier games out there, E33 felt idk how to describe its look, jank? I still think something like Witcher 3 next gen or cyberpunk 2077 or Alan wake 2 look way better.
I actually played this just after finishing BG3, which I thought was an incredible game and perhaps one of the best I’ve ever played.
Perhaps it’s just that no RPG is going to quite live up to that experience, so E33 in comparison I couldn’t help but criticize a little harshly in my mind.
But even now, BG3 feels like a 10/10 game to me, whereas E33 is perhaps a 8 at best.

Funny that I had it the other way around. First I played E33 and liked it a lot (maybe not as a best game, but rather as a relatively “fresh” experience). Then I started playing BG3 and it somehow didn’t click. It took me probably 2 months to get through 1st act and then I simply dropped it, because I didn’t want to continue at all. And at some point I considered BG2 as one of my most favorite games of all times, so I really wanted to like BG3.

Yeah stiff competition for sure. It’s unfortunate that it feels like big scale games of that quality are so few and far in between and much of the AAA size games end up being garbage. I’m somewhat hopeful for Witcher 4 despite being burned by cyberpunk, but we shall see. And divinity will be exciting whenever that releases im sure.
