Since its release out of Early Access in September, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has taken the gaming world by storm. It\u2019s received unprecedented amounts of praise, and high reviews, and is often being considered as a serious contender for Game of the Year, despite 2023 being extremely strong for great titles. Its playerbase is massive, with Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 seeing tons of players joining the fray and putting hundreds of hours into its expansive world and story. However, after enjoying the title, many fans are reporting that the game has \u201cjust straight up ruined gaming for me.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is ruining gaming for fans Sharing their opinion onto Reddit, one user explained how they \u201cthink this game just straight up ruined gaming for me\u201d going on to share how they\u2019re: \u201cNearing 300 hours and 2 complete runs I want to take a break from this game and just let it breathe for a second but\u2026 what the hell am I supposed to go back to? Everything else that I even think about as an option seems so much more inferior, my best bet at the moment will just probably be taking a break from gaming all together and returning to this when the time is right.\u201d It seems many others in the community agree with the player, with many highlighting how they\u2019ve \u201cbeen in a lull since [they] stopped playing BG3. No other games have been able to hold my attention.\u201d As made clear by the popularity of the post, one major issue with Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is that it\u2019s so expansive and free, that \u201cgoing back to a formulated game afterward feels\u2026boring.\u201d A similar situation has happened with Starfield, with many players reporting that after leaving BG3, the Bethesda game feels stale and the quests feel far too unnatural. Despite them being different games and alternate experiences. Some players are finding their own solutions, by diving into Dungeons &#038; Dragons, of which the game is set: \u201cMy solution was to get some DnD books. I got the rulebook, i\u2019m watching youtube campaigns, I\u2019m creating my own custom dnd character, I ordered the basic set from Amazon, will get the spell\/cantrip cards (at least for a bard) soon enough.\u201d This could spell yet another rise in an already increasing franchise. Ultimately, one comment summed up the community\u2019s feelings: \u201cThe game just sets a new standard, whether game companies like that or not.\u201d Who knows what this game will do to the industry and to the community that holds it in such high regard \u2013 but many will find it tough to not compare BG3 to their next title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players say it\u2019s \u201cruined gaming\u201d for them Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have enjoyed the game so much, that they\u2019re saying it\u2019s \u201cruined gaming\u201d for them, with many expressing how they can\u2019t seem to enjoy anything else after experiencing the title.
