How old are you? Because that explain it… if you start to play games after 2005 or so you won’t know what Baldur’s Gate is.
there are a lot of people who don't play crpg's, baldur's gate is the definition of cult classic. if you were a pc player in the 90s or 2000s then you will know baldur's gate, but not if you were a console player. also skyrim sold way more copies than all the bioware games combined including neverwinter games...so there will be plenty of people who know skyrim/fallout/elder scrolls etc rather than BG

lmao this is the reverse of access journalism. "you won't give me an early review copy? cool, let me amplify every negative story I can find on your product" - very petty lmao.

That review is a reader review, not Metro's review.

I hope there is more calling out of the outlets that gave the game perfect scores. MS, astroturfing, and access journalism are the major issues - but the other problem is people weren't necessarily aware it was happening. Starfield, being a high-profile release, may help bring more awareness to this issue.

ERA is fake celebrating beating the CCU of Skyrim...as if that was anything to beat. It was never mentionned as a target ever for years 🤡

Everybody is walking on eggshells with the aggressive xbots pretending the 1 million CCU across all platforms "beat" BG3.

We don't have the CCU for other platforms so it's pointless to compare. Ragnarok probably beat that on PS alone.

You weren't kidding. Utterly deranged and unhinged predictions. Every second poster smugly spewing the same line: "Over 1 million"

I mean....the game clearly will never reach even half of that, but I don't think that, before it was published, a prediction of a million or more was really that unrealistic : single player games

I do play two of isometric Fallout.

Bethesda just kinda ruined the atmosphere

Wait, a million wasn't really that unrealistic? Ummm what? That's record breaking for single player games.
