I don't need BG3 either. The first game though... I can't think of another CRPG that had that amateurish an attempt at story or dialogue. Wow. It's a testament to how incredible the combat system was that: a) I finished the first game b) am champing at the bit to buy the second one!
I much prefer a game to have a great story and dialogue, but we're not going to get that every time. So I'll play games where those components are a little B-tier, no problem. The original Solasta though... it's like they grabbed a pack of 11 year olds, paid them in Doritos and ice cream sandwiches, then told them to whip up a story around this all-world combat engine.
I really struggled with Persona 5. It got such high praise, but I just couldn't handle the dialog.
I'd never heard of it, so just looked it up. Seems like the consensus was amazing game, but the English localisation of this JRPG was somewhat lacking... sound about right?
