  • elden ring: not having fun coz I basically followed the walkthrough due to its difficulty
  • Baldur's Gate 3: too many choices and decisions to be made so couldn't play more than few hours each time and eventually burned out

Playing BG3 a few hours at a time is fine, if your normal gaming sessions last for a day or longer please consult a medical professional

For games I love, I play like 4hrs+ in one session. 12hrs+ do happen but very rarely.

BG3 also, if you're into d&d it's probably amazing. But the learning curve is insane. Just so much niche stuff a non d&der would never think of.

I have never player a TTRPG before playing BG3 (so no DnD background) but I still had lots of fun, though it was kind of annoying seeing people criticise the game for being too easy, while it felt very hard to me.

It's only easy if you cheese it (or have it set to easy) I think. Ignore those people.

The 5e rules certainly make it a lot easier than most CRPGs, but if you're a newcomer to CRPGs I can still see it being difficult.

Even with beginner's guide and tips from YouTube, it was just too much. Each level up unlocks whole new stuff which requires ton of reading and understanding and remembering characteristics of each party so that so that I can increase their relationship score (forgot the exact term)

Maybe I'll revisit when I have more brain capacity or have some first hand DnD experience

Elden Ring yes, I've never in all my years experienced such a mismatch between how amazing everyone said a game was and the actual experience of trying to play it. It's not even about the difficulty, it just feels like I got thrown directly into the 20th hour of the game without any idea of what anything is or how it works or what I'm supposed to do
