      Ah, the contrarian.

      If you let other people ruin something for you, that’s on you, not them. Especially if they “ruin” it by celebrating and enjoying it.

      “I won’t try this game because it’s too highly reviewed!” What a weird hill to die on.

      D4 seemed to have been great at launch, but the seasons and battle pass stuff ruin it for me (though you can like it if you want, I don’t care). I don’t like the idea of a game being on a timer and asking me to play the way they want me to play it. This is what BG3 does right. It’s a game with many options and many ways to play. It never tells you how you should and you also don’t need to pay extra for other crap. You get a complete experience from start to finish with no timers and nothing extra asked of you.

          I liked D2 in the beginning until I realized it was CoD’s multi-player put into its single player.

          Maybe part of the issue is I left and came back, but I couldn’t make sense of any sort of storytelling and “go here, shoot this” stopped being fun.

          Which sucks because Destiny has some amazing worldbuilding ideas.

          Still salted that they removed my boi Xol

        He opened with praising Diablo 4, feels low effort and should net a penalty, with a bad finish too. I’ll go with 4/10.

          If he’s an actual shill from ActiBlizz I would vote a lot lower than 4/10, for having done such a poor job, based on that ratio.

        Needs a bigger bait. If he opened with slamming Baldur’s Gate 3 right away or “as a gamer” it might have been a 7

          I dunno the part where they try to make themselves out to be some kind of hero over racism randomly because they didn’t play a game has gotta decrease the score by at least a couple. Just feels like they’re trying too hard I dunno. Feels basic

      You know, you’ll go through life a lot happier if you stop restricting yourself from experiencing something just because it’s a popular thing.
