Potentially they mean open world games full of repetitive busy work? Those are the ones I dislike, personally.

BG3 is just all content and story. The hours flew by because I wasn’t doing the same missions/tasks 20-40 times. It’s rare to find open-world games that are chock full of good content.

I mean, there are always exceptions to the rule, right? BG3 just did it better, IMO. As a working parent gamer, my time is pretty precious these days. I don't mind that category of game, but it better be done well and made worth my time.

"Done well and worth my time" should be the motto for every dev, and that's part of the problem.

But I'm honestly not a fan of catering to those who aren't able to put more time in, no offense at all.

We're seeing an industry riddled with lazy development and lacking content for a $70 price tag.

BG3 isn't one of those, but I'm really getting tired of seeing so many of my most treasured MMORPG's being turned into an instant-gratification, surge toward endgame in the shortest window of time possible, Fortnite-esq casual-spree.

Where did "The Journey" disappear to?
