The sprawling Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game was set to arrive in physical form on Xbox Series X over three discs, but that figure has been revised after Baldur’s Gate 3 came in just 500MB over the limit.
As a result, the Baldur’s Gate 3 Xbox physical wave one March 25 release date will probably slip to the first week of April, Douse warned. Larian will ship each version in order of readiness, with PC first. “No discs makes life easy,” Douse added. “Four discs, hard.”
As already announced, the PS5 version ships on two discs, and the PC version on just one (it hosts a custom installer and comes with a Steam key.)
In an Interview with Game Rant, Neil Newbon discusses the performance choices he made portraying Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion, and why some decisions were risky.
I'll stick with Tactician for now.
Fascinating
If anyone is interested, I will never beat X-COM on the hardest difficulty
For a list of games I will never complete on a specific difficulty
Feel free to subscribe to my professional" news site
I can't really remember if I tried xcom 1 on the hardest difficulty but I gave xcom 2 on the hardest difficulty and ironman plenty of shots and it just seemed impossible. I don't often give up, but that game beat me.
No real examples on why honor mode was too difficult. What I mean by this is there was no mention of the builds and gear he/she was using or classes and races.
I mean I understand, after 14 attempts (non cheese) me and 2 friends finally beat it, It's really not for your everyday party adventurers
Don't get me wrong, a casual player could easily google (BG3 cheese builds) and Moon druid or Tavern brawler their way to victory with some ease, but going in playing it blind or telling yourself not to break the game and play normally is never going to end well at all.
Funny as well because Divinity Original Sin 2's honor mode was a fraction of the difficulty of BG3.
I won’t either. I am a dirty save scummer who definitely lacks honor on my dice rolls and checks. Not turning TAV into a squid just because I wanted a few parasites burrowed into his brain. Lol
Danish from eXputer: "DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 could resolve some unanswered questions and offer more sought-after content for what is otherwise one of the greatest RPGs in recent memory."
See this is what damn near killed gaming in the first place, DLC! I respect a good game that’s already heavily content driven. Whatever happened to having a good game, playing it from start to finish, and then enjoying it for what it was and waiting for a sequel with a whole new outlook? I hate the fact that there are people out there willing to get nickeled and dimed by developers then complain about how we get pelted with unnecessary dlc.
I feel more devs need to do what they are doing. Tbh, I couldn’t care less if dlc was gone completely. I could go as far as saying dlc ruins game preservation as well. Not going to go too deep into that but basically Baldur’s Gate devs gets my thumb of approval.
kind of strange they would even use regular 50gb blurays when the SX support 100gb UHD discs. Maybe using 4 50gb discs is cheaper than 2 100gb ones...?
As it is, Sony are the only ones mandating that all PS5 games (on disc) use the 100gb media regardless if the game is even less than 25gb.

I agree with you, that it’s kind of a head scratcher. It’s really doesn’t make sense. You would think it’s not a compression issue, but probably it’s has something to do with policies of Xbox? Either way, that’s sucks for the developer as it costs more to do.
Haven’t seen a 4 disc console game in a while. This may end up being the last one ever. Last one I recall was Lost Oddyssey on the 360. I cannot think of any console games ever being longer than 4 discs, not even on ps1.
Because they are cheap and use single layer discs.
Xbox wants to keep people from buying their products.
