I think 5 was light years ahead of the technology and gameplay available at the time. I know if I looked back at it now, it would just feel dated but I'll keep it in my nostalgic container, for now, and pretend it wouldn't. Personally can't remember a more atmospheric game I've ever played. Maybe the original Bioshock?

@Loamy You're a 100% correct. Completely off-topic.

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea but neither has Far Cry since about two releases ago. Too formulaic.

@rjejr just stay away from radioactive spiders and you'll be fine

@Jayslow Oh no you didn't...

@Bunchesopuppies As almost all games in this genre.

Not sure about day one, but if it's on my must buy list I'm usually finished with the game before substantial patches come out. Exception, Cyberpunk 2077. I bought it played for 30 minutes and shelved it. Over a year later with patches actually making it playable, I picked it back up. Got at least 20 hours in and having a blast. Can't imagine a QA team just passing the first version unless there was pressure from top dogs. I would have never signed off on it.

@Tr3mm0r Yep only thing that makes sense. Only a Pro version would make anyone really want to upgrade. Selling your current version to get something slightly slimmer is just a waste of time.

Diablo IV, the only game purchase I made this year, that I regret.

@Zeke68 If this bothers you, definitely don't look at that game console from a company you may not have heard of... think it's called Microsoft. At least with Sony, it's way after the fact, usually.

Will I have need to play the first one? Don't think I could go back to that gen.

@MindfulGamer So, make digital cheaper. Haven't seen that, so far.

@zupertramp He's not lying, though.

So, did anyone really feel like this would be anything BUT a merging of two solid games? I personally wasn't expecting something earth shattering new.

Definitely what I expected. A fun game but not at full price.

@Mythologue Yep. Just like computers, typewriters, phones... just completely evil tech. May want to layoff the clickbait articles for a while...

Almost like they've been reading Apple's playbook.

Excited but a little worried about franchise fatigue. Just the second official installment but with all of the versions and added content and the Miles version, this feels more like the fifth installment.

@JayJ My guess 90% of it is scalpers... Hope it turns out to be a dud, just for karma to people who literally scalp anything and everything.

@JimRyansReplacement Except you've been able to do that for a long time, even back to the PS4. Seems like a very niche device. I'll let everyone beta test and give personal reviews to see if it's for me.

"Moving on, let's talk about loot, glorious loot..."

Speaking of moving on, I've moved on, a long time ago. Too little, too late.

@Ineptgamer Don't be such a scaredy-cat. You have two kidneys. If it doesn't work with the PS6 you might have to give up part of your liver, though.

I'd just buy a new controller, if it drifted, before paying that much. Sounds like a seriously expensive extended warranty insurance program. Good luck with that.

Only see a few for me, by joke I thought you meant it would be sparse but even if you meant overwhelming there is a 100% chance many of these slip.

Lost me at Souls like, but a good game is good for everyone, whether I play it or not. So cheers!

I'm calling it Like a Dragon: Woman Screaming At Infinite Penis

@LightningLeader These kind of games are more tailored to keyboard and a mouse anyway, IMHO

@Orpheus79V I'm shocked your shocked. I tell you!

More typical is me finishing a game before meaningful patches are released.

I feel bad for the 21% people in the poll.

@Kidfunkadelic83 It's not complex at all but inventory management is more of a chore than it needs to be but you can just push crap to the camp chest from anywhere on the map.

Meh. Of all the game spoilers I could see, that one doesn't bother me.

Might have waited on the PS5 version but keyboard mouse is an absolutely a game changer for this game. CRPGs are one of the few genres that can be said for.

I have PS Plus mostly for cloud saves and online. The crap games they give you for free are just that, crap. I don't even bother.

I may be one of the few that's put over 200 hours in my first play through and just reached Act 3. I'm a slow playing save scummer that likes to explore. Not sure I could revisit though because of that.

Don't touch me, I bite.

Pretty simple. No physical release means no resales.

@zebric21 at what?

This is a joke, right???

Patent something that has been done before in VR years ago. Cool concept.

Souls-like. Ugh... I'm not "get guud" enough for it.

Try not putting out the same iterative crap or COD 38 because you know it will at least sell. Try putting out a game that you know is going to be fantastic not just keep the lights on. Having said that, most of these masterpieces have been years in the making. Nintendo could be putting out a decent, but not great, Zelda every two years. If that's what they wanted to do. Don't complain about standards or goal posts being moved. Celebrate and rise above them. We know every game can't be this great but unless you are an Indie company, you have zero excuses, and when people cry about it not being out yet, keep going. I had forgotten all about BG3 and didn't realize I played the open beta a couple of years back until I started the game and it all felt too familiar. I love the game (already clocked over 150 hours) but I don't think they've done anything here that's beyond the capabilities of any major studio. Stop whining and build a better one.

Makes me want a new Bloodstained game.

@Ken_Kaniff I here ya

To go on a Tawainese channel and talk about "One Platform" is kind of ironic, given the political climate in Taiwan and a certain country that uses the same rhetoric.

Seems like it would just ruin the game you paid for. I love gaming but I am older with terrible reflexes and usually so bad I have to lower difficulty but Diablo IV feels almost too easy, as is. Just my opinion but if you paid for the game you should be able to play it however you want. Outside of cheating in multiplayer, that's just stupid.

Zero competition would be better for consumers. Said no consumer ever.

I'm calling a 7/10 on this one

@BraveLilCrumpet I just find the Pulse headset weird. Why go with round headsets when nobody has round ears???

I might be the slowest gamer ever 40 hours into BG3 and I just made it to the mountain pass.
