Everyone's playing Baldur's Gate 3, but I just finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the first time

I am proud of my ability to always be on the cutting edge of video games. It's an invaluable asset for my job to have my finger constantly on the pulse of the video games industry, to be always analyzing the latest trends and obsessions capturing the time, love, and money of the billions of gamers around the world. The more up to date I am, the better my coverage as a video games journalist becomes. That's why I've been spending the last few weeks playing the newest, hottest RPG that's on everyone's mind — The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Ah, I'm just now realizing that everyone has actually been playing Baldur's Gate 3, not The Witcher 3. Sorry, it's easy to get them confused. After all, both The Witcher 3 and Baldur's Gate 3 are some of the highest-rated and most beloved role-playing games (RPGs) of all time; the former set a new standard when it released in 2015 and has since sold over 50 million copies, while the latter has officially taken the Metacritic crown as the #1 rated PC game and is enjoying immense success. Also, they both have "3" in the title.
