I mean the first I ever heard of it was about a bear sex scene. That’s decent marketing. Makes me low-key want to try it.

I need to try the series on pc, I don’t like 1/2 on console at all.

my understanding is that BG3 is more similar to Larian's earlier games, Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2 (which, full disclosure, I'm a big fan of). so if you want an inexpensive PC game that's likely to have a similar feel, mechanically, those games have been around a long time and are still well worth playing (if you ask me).

I’ll keep that in mind when I get back to pc gaming. It’s been such a very very long time since I played on pc, probs… 2010 or so (I stopped gaming at all for a long time, got back to it a few years ago, and took a deep dive back in the last year or so - reclamation of self 😀)

Haven’t gotten back into pc, I’ve always collected console games, because those are pretty plug and play, and as long as I maintain some very old single-purpose computers, they run flawlessly every time.

But because of major system failures, my OS has changed a few times recently, and that makes it a bit harder to maintain games. Probs need to get a single use machine with dual boot for it. And some serious old school emulators too run my win 98 games… 😁

that reminds me, I failed to mention that I played both Divinity games on console. they work perfectly well (even if inventory management is a bit of a bummer) on console

If you're thinking of the dark alliance games, BG3 isn't related to those at all. It's the spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate II: Shadows of Amn which was only ever released on PC. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldur%27s_Gate_II:_Shadows_of_Amn.

I’m not, I made that mistake already. I really liked the dark alliance games on console.

I have the first 2 baldurs gate games on console also, ps4 specifically, because I thought they were the dark alliance games :) I was disappointed. They don’t play well on console.

Huh, TIL something new. I had no idea those had made there way too console, and yeah, I imagine they'd play terribly on a console.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I want to like them but I would hate Diablo 2 or StarCraft on console as point and clicks, too 😂

I’ll give them a go on pc tho, the story and gameplay seem great, just not for console :)

They're actually not that bad on console, beamdog did a really good job translating the controls over but you can only do so much before things get lost in translation for a game of that age.
