Baldur's Gate 3 DOES NOT Deserve Game of the YEAR Award - BORING GAME

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So as

you may be aware, the Game of the Year

awards for 2023 have come out, and I can't

believe it— Baldur's Gate 3 won the Game

of the Year. Baldur's Gate 3 is probably

one of the worst games I've played this

year, and I've played a lot of games this

year. But not only am I shocked that

Baldur's Gate 3, of all games, won the

award, but the other nominees for the Game

of the Year awards, they're just rubbish

games. Alan Wake 2, Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Resident Evil 4 is a remake. Why was that

even nominated for Game of the Year? It's

not even a new game. It didn't even come

out this year apart from the remake.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a stupid kids

game Mario Bros. And then Legend of Zelda:

Tears of the Kingdom, which I agree should

have been on the list because it was a

pretty good game. But there were so many

other good games this year that didn't

make it on the nominated list, and I'm

kind of shocked and disappointed. I mean,

what about Diablo 4? Honestly, my favorite

game of this year was Diablo 4. I put

maybe 4 months of gameplay into that game,

and it was really fun and addictive, and I

really had a great time with that game,

and I still play it to this day. And

Starfield, how come that's not on this

list? Although Starfield had many bugs and

glitches, and many people said it was

boring and rubbish, I actually had a

really good time on Starfield. I put like

150 hours into Starfield. I finished it.

I got to New Game Plus. I had a lot of fun

with the shipbuilding mechanics and

building my own custom amazing starship

with loads of guns. I had like quad

missile launchers, quad autocannons. I

just destroyed everything that came at me,

and it was a really good game mechanic. I

can't believe Starfield wasn't nominated

on any of the awards. And Baldur's Gate

3 winning the Game of the Year, that is

so stupid. I tried playing Baldur's Gate

3. I refunded it within 2 hours because it

was so boring. The game is not only

boring, it's also really ugly looking.

The graphics are terrible. It looks like a

game that came out from 2015 for the

PlayStation 3. And the gameplay is so

rubbish. It's like turn-based— click on

the enemy, click on the ability, your

character moves, performs the ability,

and then you wait for the enemy's turn.

And then it's just like that over and over

again. It's like Final Fantasy but more

boring. I just cannot get my head around

how the masses prefer Baldur's Gate 3 over

Diablo 4 when they're kind of similar in

regards of the camera angle. It's like

top-down isometric. They're both kind of

dark fantasy RPG games, but one game has a

really interesting and in-depth combat

system with paragon boards, skill trees,

aspects— sorry, I'm hiccupping— paragon

boards, skill trees, aspects, and all

kinds of customization with your

playstyle. And then the other game has a

boring turn-based, tedious, monotonous

kind of gameplay style. Style, which is

really rubbish. Maybe I'm wrong because I

didn't play a lot of Baldur's Gate 3.

Maybe later, later in the game, the

gameplay becomes really in-depth and

really complicated, and you've got all

these stats and things to choose from.

But I just really don't see it because

turn-based— how can you prefer turn-based

combat over real-time ARPG combat?

I think the only reason people really like

Baldur's Gate 3 is because you can do

stupid things like fall in love with other

characters, and there's adult scenes, and

there's like a bear scene making love with

a man. It's just stupid stuff like that

that have nothing to do with actual

gameplay. So if people— so if people

are saying Baldur's Gate 3 is so amazing

because of its storyline and rich

characters and character development,

that's great and everything, but I thought

we were giving games awards for gameplay.

Character lines and storylines and plot,

that kind of stuff is just story. Why

don't you go watch a movie or read a book?

This is for video games. It should be

based— it should be ranked on the gameplay

of the game. And I would easily say Diablo

4's gameplay blows Baldur's Gate 3's

gameplay out of the water. There were just

much better games that came out this year

than Baldur's Gate 3. Even Armored Core 6—

or is it Armored Core 5? Uh, The Fires of

Rubicon, that one. Even that one had

better gameplay than Baldur's Gate 3, and

I had a way better time with that game,

but it wasn't even mentioned on the

nominee list. So yeah, I am pretty

disappointed that a game like Baldur's

Gate 3 was so popular and managed to win

Game of the Year award. It just kind of

makes me lose faith in people's taste in

video games. I feel like people have

really bad taste in video games these days

when games like that and Alan Wake— Alan

Wake is basically a a walking simulator.

It's kind of like walking— watching a

movie where you just walk a character

around and shine a flashlight here and

there. You could get the gaming experience

just by watching a walkthrough on YouTube

without actually having to play the video

game, which kind of removes the entire

point of it being a video game. I feel

like people just have terrible taste in

games these days. Now that Baldur's Gate 3

has won Game of the Year, I am kind of

tempted to buy the game again to give it

another try because maybe I was wrong.

How can everyone love this game so much

when I had such a terrible time with it?

Maybe I really need to actually focus on

getting further into the game and then

maybe it becomes more fun that way. But I

don't really want to have to spend another

£30 or £40 to try this game when I didn't

like it the first time I played it. Maybe

there's like a guide on how to actually

enjoy it. But I feel like if a game

requires you to learn how to enjoy it,

then it's not really designed very well.

A game should hook you and grab you from

the beginning. So when you first play the

first 10 minutes, you're like, wow, this

game's amazing. I've got to play more of

it. If I'm bored in the first 2 hours,

then they didn't do a very good job at

hooking me, did they? And it's kind of

like everyone just forgot about Hogwarts

Legacy. Didn't even win any awards, even

though it was a pretty good game. It's

very ambitious, very big open-world game,

and they did a very good job at recreating

Hogwarts. And the combat system was quite

interesting, had quite a lot of spells.

You could do things like fling enemies up

into the air and knock them off cliffs and

do all these different kind of magic

spells. And I thought it was quite a good

game, and I'm shocked and kind of

disappointed that it wasn't even mentioned

at all, even though it was not a bad game

in my opinion. But yeah, another

disappointing year in the Game Awards

zone. No one really seemed to like any of

the games I liked, and all the games I

hated seemed to be the games that everyone

really liked. So I don't really feel like

I can relate to anyone's opinion out there

anymore after this. Actually, I made a

review of Baldur's Gate 3 earlier this

year trying to warn everyone how boring

the game is, but instead I got loads of

hate comments, people telling me to shut

up, saying I'm wrong. And now I'm

thinking, what if I was wrong? What if I

was actually completely wrong about the

game? And it's actually a lot of fun that

I've missed out on because I'm not willing

to invest more time into the game to see

if it gets any more interesting later on.

It's just I'm too lazy. And I just

remember playing the beginning of the game

where you're stuck on that flying

spaceship and there's that boss, and I

just, I couldn't kill the boss. And I

think you weren't even supposed to try to

kill him. You're supposed to run past him

or something. But I couldn't figure out

where you had to go and it was really

frustrating and I just found the game just

very boring and not very interesting at

all. And the gameplay, I'm not a fan of

turn-based action games. Last time I

played a turn-based action game that I

genuinely thought was fun was Darkest

Dungeon. Now I really love Darkest

Dungeon. That's a great game, great music,

great art, great gameplay. Even though it

is turn-based, I really enjoy how you have

a team of— what are they called? I don't

know. People or things, knights and rogues

and whatever, and then you have to like

guide them through a dungeon and look

after their stress levels and level them

up and make sure they don't get killed

off. And the combat system in that, I

really enjoyed it. But for some reason, I

can't enjoy the turn-based combat system

in Baldur's Gate 3, which I don't really

understand. Maybe I just was in a bad mood

when I played the game. I need to play the

game again with a fresh set of eyes, and

maybe then I'll like it and I can make

some videos about it. I'm not sure if I

really want to spend the money yet, but it

seems like Like, you know, you can't, if

you can't beat them, then join them and

then just try and see what all the fuss is

about, I guess.
