I swore off buying 'new' games close to their release dates because I was sick of overpriced, unfinished games that are just trying to squeeze every cent out of me. Then BG3 came out and everyone raved how great it was, but I stuck to my principles and said I'd play it a year or so after its release. Then someone pointed out to me that the game plays well, has no charge for online play, doesn't have microtransactions, and is complete. So I bought it, figuring that this is the type of game we should be rewarding, and I've not been disappointed.
To be entirely fair, BG3 has its share of bugs and act 3 is not as polished as the first two.
But still, it is by far the most polished AAA game I've seen in a long time, and very satisfying, too. So I'm ok with some roughness
In fairness, pretty much all games have some bugs, even far after launch. The issue is launching games that are clearly not finished.
Complete is a little bit of a stretch in my opinion, its still pretty damn buggy. Don't get me wrong it's a massive fucking game and it looks great and is fun as hell but I've already run into several bugs and it keeps crashing on me. It's going to take at least another month or two before I'd call it a complete game
