‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ can be a fantastic experience and a bad game at the same time.

This is such a absurd statement I'm inclined to agree about the trolling.

Maybe you love the characters, maybe you love the world, or maybe you love the character creator. That’s all well and good, but the fact of the matter is that all of those things—and a good many other aspects that Baldur’s Gate 3 has been praised for—are poor measurements of evaluating a game. If these subjectivities were the most important aspects of games, then we could say that chess or soccer are bad games. And I don’t think I need to explain how absurd that statement would be.

To be fair, soccer is a terrible RPG.

I can feel the saliva-moistened Cheeto crumbs being sprayed into my face.
