Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Not to be a contrarian, the game is good, but I seriously don't understand how it's one of the best games ever made. Just my opinion no one asked for, but I know I can't be alone. Only other game I can think that's more overhyped is breath of the wild.

Sounds like those just weren't your type of game. Chances are I could toss a rock at work and hit someone who thinks COD is the best franchise on the planet. Not saying you're wrong, your opinion is valid, just that to people who lean even a little more towards that kind of experience, to them these games are gold.

You're not necessarily wrong but maybe you kind of are. I'll explain, I played the other baldur gate games in the 90s (I still have the old school big box BG2 collectors edition), im not young or new to this style game. It's not my favorite genre but I DO enjoy it. I played DOS2 in 2019 and loved it, baldurs gate was just over hyped after hearing everyones praise and llaying those other games i expected more. Its obviously keaps ahead of BG2 but thats an OLD game at this point... and man too many people love cod even tho it's what I'd consider objectively not good, unlike BG3 which is an objectively good game (but over rated).

Another game I've played a bit of but can't understand why it's so successful is helldivers 2. I Def need to try it some more and see if it clicks, but it's kind of.... empty and repetitive, like cod.

It's really hard to get a gauge on what you consider an excellent game without knowing some of your favorites. Might inform us on why you don't consider two highly praised games as overhyped.
