Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 has some frame rate issues - but is still an incredible game

Baldur's Gate 3's long-awaited PS5 version is fine, but it's definitely not as smooth as it could be compared to PC.

It has a MSRP problem. Not a game on earth is worth $80...

Goosejuice649d ago

If there was a game though this is the one. Honestly one of the best games I have ever played.

Zombieburger638649d ago

170 hours to complete my first play through and immediately after watching the credits/enjoying the music I started a new play through. Can’t think of another game I’ve done this.

Eonjay649d ago

If get enjoyment from a game for over 100 hours it is definitely worth $80.

Seraphim649d ago

then buy it for $70. You do have that choice, though, you could also buy it on sale. I don't agree with pricing in an age where games are breaking record after record for sales, but that's life now. Everything is either overpriced or grossly overpriced

It's not 80 though and don't you guys have cheap PSN credit sites. It's just cost me 48 in the UK. And we're usually more expensive than the US. And if anything is worth it, its this. Highest rated game of the year and if you want it, several hundred of hours of unique content

…to you. Of course there are games worth $80 because worth and value are purely subjective to the user. And when it comes to entertainment, even more so.

BillyCrystals648d ago

I'm seeing $70 on the Playstation Store. The same price Earthbound was back in 95.

I guess Larian couldn’t hit their ‘steady’ fps target by release date, but hopefully they’ll keep working on it.

So if you have a brand new top of the line PC it will run better than a 3 year old $500 PS5. Good heavens.

In all seriousness I hear at times PC performance is similarly disappointing. Thank goodness the game is still good.

Goosejuice649d ago (Edited 649d ago )

Act 3 on pc can be bad if u don't have a top end cpu and at least a 3070/6800xt. There's a lot going on.

I guess the PS5 is holding back the industry.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Is The Kind Of Game That Makes Me Wish I Could Play One Thing At A Time

I respect people who can dig deep on one game, and only one game, but I can't do it.

I used to play multiple games at a time but because of the time constraints I have I don’t have a choice but to play one game at a time or I’ll end up with some unfinished games. I like to get platinums for the games I enjoy the most so it can take me a long time to get to the next game.

It definitely takes some will power as I always have a stack of games I want to play at all times. But most of the games I play are really good and I am fully immersed when I’m playing a single game at a time.

raWfodog21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Same here. I’ll focus on a game that I really enjoy and get the most out of it before moving onto the next title. That is why I have a massive backlog of games now.

Armaggedon22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Same for me. I play so many games, currently playing oblivion, expedition, blades of fire, bg3 with friends , avowed, and Nioh 2. After learning more about myself and gaining mastery, I have developed an ability to get fulfillment from a game without needing to “complete” it. Unless of course, a game hooks me for the story, in which case I have to complete it to see what happens. I have discovered that in terms of gameplay, one can get most if not all of the expected experience in about 25% of progress through play.

Ninver22d ago

Sounds like renting is the best way to go in your case. No point in buying games you won't complete.

Armaggedon21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

It depends on what one deems as “complete.” For some, it is completing the story, and for others it is completing all tasks and objectives. Usually when this happens, people will feel “that was fun, whats next.” There is always a whats next. Cant think of anyone that has consumed media and thought “I am completely satisfied and will not need to play or watch another. I have simply mastered this “hunger” if you will. I am able to get so far in a game and then move to another without needing to reach a certain requirement. A benefit of this is that I do not get bored, as that game I didn’t beat still has mystries to unravel and new things I haven’t done.
