Sounds like those just weren't your type of game. Chances are I could toss a rock at work and hit someone who thinks COD is the best franchise on the planet. Not saying you're wrong, your opinion is valid, just that to people who lean even a little more towards that kind of experience, to them these games are gold.

You're not necessarily wrong but maybe you kind of are. I'll explain, I played the other baldur gate games in the 90s (I still have the old school big box BG2 collectors edition), im not young or new to this style game. It's not my favorite genre but I DO enjoy it. I played DOS2 in 2019 and loved it, baldurs gate was just over hyped after hearing everyones praise and llaying those other games i expected more. Its obviously keaps ahead of BG2 but thats an OLD game at this point... and man too many people love cod even tho it's what I'd consider objectively not good, unlike BG3 which is an objectively good game (but over rated).

Another game I've played a bit of but can't understand why it's so successful is helldivers 2. I Def need to try it some more and see if it clicks, but it's kind of.... empty and repetitive, like cod.

It's really hard to get a gauge on what you consider an excellent game without knowing some of your favorites. Might inform us on why you don't consider two highly praised games as overhyped.
