it's games like this where I feel left out being a console only gamer. Need to get a gaming rig going

Games1st1333d ago

Lots of new stuff coming soon

arkard1333d ago

It will come to consoles and usually with bugs and balancing issues worked out.

Tapani1333d ago

Games like this and Xcom are why I bought a PC. Could not imagine to try out Original Sin 2 on Playstation. Xcom 2 was somewhat manageable, though, but the visuals/performance and lack of official mods and stuff just made it inferior. I'm buying games again on PC to experience these masterpieces at their best! Stuff like FFIX AI projects also keep me on PC, but I'll still support Switch and PS5 because of the must have exclusives.

Viking_mo1333d ago

They're hinting a PS5 and Xboxseries X release. I think Stadia got some timed exclusive going on

Christopher1332d ago (Edited 1332d ago )

This will likely go to console just like Divinity I & II. I don't see why it wouldn't. Same controls. But, it will only be PS5/XSX if it does.

It's pretty good, but obviously buggy so far. I hope they change some things to better match actual 5e rules, though. For example: in BG3, you can only dual wield two light weapons, in 5e you only have to wield a light weapon in the off-hand. Without this, dual wield, which is already inferior in 5e, will be even more so compared to 2h weapons.

Ooh definitely cause they said the current gens couldn't handle the game. The bugs ive seen and honestly not surprised. Divinity 1 and 2 had their share so hopefully whatever bugs are in this game will be sorted before the PS5 and XboxseriesX version

With a game like Baldur's Gate 3, a number of factors make it successful—but perhaps none are as powerful as its side quest design.

Article makes a great point and I agree with it but is spoiler heavy. It should be marked. If you haven’t played through the game be warned as it even spoils parts of act 3.

Dirty_Lemons4d ago

Thanks for this dude, I am very interested in playing when I have time and am trying to avoid spoilers.

This game rocks, everything is quality, and I love the cutscenes, which remind me of Dragon Age Origin.

Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Physical Deluxe Editions Delayed Due to Production Issues

While we were so hoping to not have to update owners of the console physical Deluxe Edition with any further news of delay, we’ve now run into more production issues which means that players who pre-ordered their PS5 North America copy that was expected to ship later this month, will now have to wait until July before they can get their hands on them.

Popsicle6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Baldurs Gate 3 was great, but I dont think it is as crazy as people make it out to be. I actually think Starfield is closer to being a crazy insane once in a lifetime game, but Im ready for the flak Im about to get.

AndrewM6d ago

If you think that then you either A never played Bg3 or B never watched anyone else play it, or C you don't know anything about the game, or D you played it and have no idea of the marvel it is in every single aspect of game design. It doesn't matter what game you compare it to, it doesn't hold a candle. Let alone starfield.

Armaggedon6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

A. Ive played it thrice
B. Played with others, so there are moments of watching
C. Know more than I would care to about the game
D.
Thats quite bold, seeing as there are an inumerable amount of games for it to contend with. I also know plenty of people with their own gripes with the game.

As someone that creates things, and has actively sought to gather intel and understanding, I would say Baldurs Gates very nature makes it so it would have a hard time sitting upon the lofty throne you have given it. Similar to a Bethesda game, it is a game with a very large number of permutations and variables to consider, despite being smaller in scale by direct comparison.

Exemplary mastery of design philosophy is more certain to appear in a game that is for confined. One of the reasons I see Starfield the way I do is simply Bethesedas approach of breaking the rules. Anyone should hopefully know that you just dont try to fit a Bethesda game into a space game, but they found a way to pull it off. Do to the nature of large scale open world games, whether it is efficient or not depends on the angle one is looking at.

Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes

Armaggedon6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Part 2:
Many people would tell me immediately that loading screens and empty planets prove that they failed to pull it off. If you play Starfield like a conventional game yes, it will seem disjointed and lazy; however, to those who realize what Bethesda were going for, you will see that the game is severely underestimated. The idea of God is hated and loved by many, and there is much controversy. Starfield is closer to that idea than people even notice.
