@themightyant how was Bg3 a console exclusive? It was on PC three years prior.

Edit - i realized you probably ment PS5 exclusive in relation to xbox, nvm.

I guess everyone expected the Goty to go to BG3.

What pleasantly surprised me is that Alan Wake 2 got so many awards, well deserved tbh.

As if we didnt have enough of twerking influencers on yachts in real life, we have to have them in our games as well.

If theyre aiming for this Bonnie&Clyde style of a story i dont know why not set it in the past.

Oooh no we dont get to play Starfield! /sarcasm

@GamingFan4Lyf I know exactly what you talking about. I still enjoyed GTAV, but already noticed it. Couldnt finish RDR2 for that reason.

Hope they massively change the formula.

@milonorth Its definetly playable. Act 1 is flawless, there are some texture popins in the main camp of Act 2.
Act 3 is where the problems are, big popin and fps drops. Act 3 is basiclaly a huuuge city that is cpu heavy, consoles arent very happy with it.

Wonder if the analog sticks still drift.

Not great, I mean lego 2k is decent, but i cant shake the feeling theyre only doing it to sell more ingame currency over the christmas.

If it wasnt for cloud saves id unsub off ps plus long time ago.

@PSme That would indeed be horrible. Lets hope it doesnt come to it. As for now, while MS can buy big companies left and right, they cant develop a hardware worth a damn since Xbox360.

Looking at the sale of hardware, one could say the market is well in Sonys favor right now.

@thefourfoldroot1 I agree with the second part 100%, MS is a huge problem.

Altho the argument of optimalisation surely only applies to the first party titles, definetly not baldurs gate in this instance, a game that was developed for PC first and foremost.

Guess we just love bad games 😀

@AdamNovice @Sil_Am And what way is that? Please explain.

Never understood “console wars”, when will you realize that any exclusivity is only good for the suits on top of the food chain and you as a player are always worse off.

By following this blind brand loyalty youre against yourself.

@AdamNovice And how is that good for you, a player?

Finally bit the proverbial bullet abd bought a switch.

So its Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild weekend for me. Both absolutelly amazing!

When it comes to pushing square, me and me wife finally finished 2013 Tomb raider, so gonna start Rise

@Mad001 Dont forget Sarah Connors storyline from T1&2

My expectations are on the freezing point.

Good thing is, i can only be pleasantly surprised.

@Tr3mm0r ok indeed

Im back to Baldurs gate 3.

This game gave me nightmare in my teen years. Couldnt sleep right for a week after shodan reveal.

Would definetly give it a shot from the comfiness of my couch if the controls are done well.

Im probably going to be the odd one here, but while it looks flashy it seems like underneath is the very similar game to what we already got twice before.

Not necessarily a bad thing, just expected more innovation :/

Playing beta had me cancel my preoder. They really dropped the ball with this one. Bought Diablo2 instead, pretty good on console!

@S1ayeR74 Oh yea sorry I completely forgot about CoD as I dont play fps on console.

Its more of the acti side tho no? Is it any good these days or is it as creatively bankrupt as everything on the blizz side?

The major problem here is that people still think that Acti-blizz is some major player. Just look at the state of diablo4/immortal/wow/overwatch.
Theyre a joke, xbox can keep them.

@Smiffy01 A “global” pandemic? As opposed to what? A local one?

Honestly, they can keep it. Actiblizz couldnt make a food game if their life depended on it.

@CWill97 I think the reason for digital only is the fact that theyre self published.

Its a little trade off for no DLC and other modern gaming BS.

@KillerBoy
I was massively disappointed, i loved ZD, but FW was weird. While the combat was absolutelly amazing i didnt like the story one bit.
Everyone treats aloy like a second coming of jesus and it gets boring real fast :/
There is no character arc for aloy whatsoever.

> And it looks like Sony is plotting a re-release of the game for its new-gen console

What new gen console? FW came out on PS5 and its rereleasing on PS5 again? Im confused.

Halfway thru act2, no problems whatsoever!

The game looks absolutelly stunning.
Moreover the controls are smooth and intuitive.

Never thought id be playing a crpg on a console, but im having an absolute blast.

Definetly one of the best games ive ever played.

Im not surprised, “get majority hold of a market and then increase prices” is a badic business tactic.

Edit- ill still keep essencial, cloud saves are too good to pass on for me :/

@themcnoisy respect man, it takes a character to apologise!

I absolutelly agree tho, ive played all the diablo games, but giving 4 a pass. It doesnt need to be open world, nor a live service.
Im glad i did tho, it seems horrible from an outside view xD

@themcnoisy i think youre wrong, i dont like diablo as much as next guy, but from what i hear its more tuned to the casual player.
To the point that medium-to-hardcore players are complaining that theres no content.

As i said, i dont like diablo for multiple reasons, im just getting alergic to the argument “if you like X, you clearly have no job/wife/family”

A stash filter? In arpg? Revolutionary!

After having to endure all the jokes from my friends about games like GTA and Horizon that consoles are beta testing it for the true PC release. Its nice to see it the other way around, PC beta testing baldur for us

Tells you something abiut the game when your most interesting boss is a recycle from 1997 :/

Honestly i would consider buying it, as i only own ps5 and never played RDR1. The price would have to be in a ballpark of 10euro tho.

Also is RDR1 better than 2? I didnt enjoy RDR2 that much to be honest. I think the same R* design formula is getting really old by now

It will be crap, you heard it here first!

R* lost their way.

Its things like this that make me not excited for GTA6 at all.

@saffeqwe guess we gonna have to agree to disagree. To me those games are wide as an ocean, but deep as a puddle.

Im not trying to be old grandpa here, but i much more prefer morrowind and fallout 1&2.

@LiamCroft How can people trust Bethesda so much? How about Fallout 4? Fallout 76? And even Skyrim and Fallout 3.

Even if you love the watered down rpg experience these games offer there is no denying they all were a buggy mess even months after release.

Oh so thats why we got the SSD size firmware update
