Boring game imho , too much cut and paste in dungeons. A single player can get stuck in a bossfight because to progress in the story line you need a group. Played 200+ hours and have deleted the game.
Wolcen 2023 on PS5 , as bad as the beta on PC in 2018. Consider it the Battle for Crashopolis (30-40 crashes before you manage to finish the game once). Graphics that feel like it's still 2015 , a menu system that screams for a mouse and keyboard. This has no place on a PS5. Gameplay , who cares you're too busy reloading .
@UltimateOtaku91 , I started with Osvald made it to lvl 11 just by random encounters walking between your landing point after the prison escape and the crossing with the lady that lost her bag. That's 3-4 screens either way , like I said a bit high on the randoms.
On PS5 looks nice , plays ok, characters and story are interesting. Abut you will wear out the X-button and you will need health potions by the truckload. Btw there are still way toooooo many random encounters , 4 randoms when turning from a save point to a npc standing next to said save point is a little overdoing it.
After an hour in the game I give it a 2/10. Pro: loads OK on a Ps5 Cons: the game has only one type of mouth animated and that's out sync. since you're mostly watch conversations it's painfull to see the characters jerk around while they talk. Faces (mostly 2015) the rest of the chars would look kinda OK on a PS3. Gameplay? At times you can make choices during conversations but most of the time you are forced to pick an answer/question. The unavailable choices are shown from the beginning. Don't bother to explore , the game won't let you , walk into the bar and there is a guard that blocks the door till you have talked to everybody the game wants you to and then he disappears. Button pushes and choices made with the sticks are often ignored although the related command text will show on the screen. Story , don't know , so far most of the conversations (99% of the game) are of the kick or kiss variety and not very exciting.
Ps4 , buggy , have to reboot atleast every 20-30 minutes to get decent fps again. Fps may drop from 30fps to 10fpminute. Another pain in the proverbial is the occasional buttonpush hoarding , hit X no reaction hit X again nothing then after a few seconds both commands are done , great in the parkouring (too much of) parts of the game. Reset the PS4 to factory , having HFW as only install etc makes no difference. Pretty pictures no complaints there.
Gave the game 4-5 hours. Boring story , endless cutscenes , it's a walking simulator for fedex junkies. The interface was most likely created by committee or worse. One point for the pretty pictures.
Chaosbane so far:
Dungeons : 3 elements repeated umpteen times
Combat Melee : Walk around with X pressed
Combat Ranged: Ditto
Combat boring : grind
Gear irrelevant , anything not used can only be donated anyway
Skills Hit -> Hit harder -> Hit harderder
All in all feels like a Korean MMo but without the big boobs
Score 3 because of the pretty colours

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Baldur's Gate 3?
Bought it on Steam a few years ago (early access) and had it as preorder on the PS5. Play it where ever my 75 y/o back feels comfortable that day
