They don't seem interested in detailing why they feel that way. They're just going to give BG3 backhanded compliments and list games they feel are better without explaining anything. And you know, I've played a number of those games too. They aren't deeper RPGs, because being deeper than BG3 is a high bar to clear.

Yup. I'm fine with bg3 being considered a shit game. That's an opinion and everyone can not like it. But it's silly to label it something that it's not. Something that's more or less measurable . Like pretending the sky is green or something. Makes no sense. Don't like the characters? Fine. Don't like the plot, writing, etc? Fine. But don't tell me it's shallow when it has so many different ways to approach everything and so many things you can do differently.
