I understand that there are plenty of reasons to dislike a game, ANY game, BG3 included, but how tf "has no right to exist" is supposed to be an argument? Based on what, according to whom, because what?
Agreed
By their logic games like civ with its turn based fighting "had no right to exist" because counterstrike is popular...
Some people just enjoy being able to plan their actions and having a bird's eye perspective on things.
Agreed. As someone who likes counterstrike, civ, baldurs gate 3, and I'll even throw in the witcher, they all are fantastic games.
Just because some games are turn based, or isometric, or 2d, doesn't make them bad games. The gameplay mechanics in BG3 are fantastic. You can look around the battlefield to plan the most destructive attack possible, or rush in hoping for the best. You get to set the pace of the game. In turn, taking too long to strategize in counterstrike will give you a huge disadvantage, both different types of gameplay that have mechanics built around the intended gameplay.
I love being able to actually think about a battle and plan. Does it take me longer than it should? Probably. But setting up and killing an entire goblin camp with some well placed barrels and a candle is fun to me.
