the players are already pulling the plug even before the release of the games

We thought we were done with the little squabbles between players, but it seems that the upcoming release of Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 has rekindled the flame. On social networks, many of them defend their foal body and soul… even though no one has got their hands on the titles in question.

Conflicts between players and license are not new. Ever since video games have existed, or almost, fans around the world have been debating to elect the best saga, the best title, the real GOTY and whatnot, without really taking into account the importance of subjectivity. Over time, however, and faced with the proliferation of games and genres, this type of discourse had become more discreet, gradually admitting that it was all a matter of taste.

And then… Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3. Let it be said, 2023 is a great year for the RPG. After Final Fantasy XVI – which some argue that it is not really an RPG, but that is another debate – fans of the genre are now waiting for the release of the next two titans of the genre. . Starfield on the one hand, a new license from Bethesda, the undisputed master of Western RPGs, and Baldur’s Gate 3 on the other, a newborn in the greatest CRPG saga in history.

Gamers are reconnecting with their old demons with the release of Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3

Inevitably, such promises are enough to go to the head of some. All you have to do is do a quick search for “Starfield Baldur’s Gate 3” on Twitter to realize the disaster. Dozens and dozens of tweets, all trying to explain by 1+B why one title will be better than the other. In one camp, we don’t care about Starfield’s loading times and (very likely) bugs.

In the other, Baldur’s Gate 3 is called antiquity, desperate to bring back to the fore an RPG subgenre that supposedly belongs to the past. Of course, the consoles play a major role: if the two games will be available on PC, Starfield will also be on Xbox Series while Baldur’s Gate 3 has opted for the PS5.

So let’s make it clear here again: it’s all just a matter of taste. Everyone will be able to find their account in one of the games, without this affecting the quality of the other. Tastes and colors, in short.
