Every review was along the lines of ‘good first hour, the rest was bland and boring’. Not really GOTY material.

People who prefer a different genre. Far too much gatekeeping. Everyone keeps shitting on people who disliked BG3. There's a choice and people should respect it. All respect is lost when people use opinions as fact. That's why the gaming community is a shit show nowadays.
like the gaming community hasn't been full of the same assholes since pong

Sure, but HWL isn't better than really any game in it's genre either. It's an open world adventure game with some of the worst open world gameplay I've seen in a long time.

It's one of the most bland games I've ever played even though the universe that it comes from is somewhat interesting, though critically flawed.

Even in its genre, there are better options
For a while there anyone criticizing BG3 would get piled on.
