The latest patch for BG3 added so much content and a massive epilogue bit. Larian has yet to stumble here.
They really have other developers rocking in their heels, already making excuses for why their future games won't have the same quality. Publishers are just as much to blame however; a game like BG3 in the hands of EA or Ubisoft or even today's Blizzard would be an absolute mess of cosmetic dlc, microtransactions, online access required, whatever. None of these people believe in just putting out a good game that sells itself.
Is there at least some build up to the horniness or is it still "Hey, you did a thing. Let's fuck a bunch!"? The patch hit when I was a bit into Act 3 on my second playthrough, and I haven't kept up super well on my camp interactions this time around. I have to say, I have been having a blast on my second go round. My bard playthrough was loads of fun, but combat could be really brutal. Now I have a Paladin (Paladin 6/Fighter 2/Sorcerer 4) and they just fucking SMASH everything. I'm still having fun from a role play perspective, but combat being a lot easier has definitely helped too. After completing my first playthrough, I was a lot less apprehensive about looking at guides, especially class guides, and have been a lot more experimental multiclassing and respeccing my characters. I think on my first playthrough, I only multiclassed Karlach for a few levels in Fighter to snag Action Surge. Now, everyone but Shadowheart has at one least on class added. I like casting the Heroes Feast buff on my party, so I'll probably keep her as is. I'm around 200 hours in and I'm still loving the game. Thinking about my third playthrough already. I really liked having Jaheira as a monk, so maybe I'll do that next time. Super fun class.
There is a new difficulty mode that gives the big bads "legendary actions" that help resolve the fact that you can twist the action economy in to a complete shut down. There is also a setting that prevents you from save scumming, inventory improvements, performance improvements (esp Act 3). Orin's sexy clothes.
Anyone have any recommendations for a fun single player FPS for the PS5? Looking for some meaningless fun, preferably sci-fi, and I'm usually way out of touch with games. Just went through Aliens Fireteam Elite over Xmas... it wasn't bad, but meh. Suggestions?
Kind of an oldie, but if you can snag Titanfall 2... Plays on ps5, might even be patched to run at 60fps if it doesn't already. Great game, great story for an FPS, made by the original creators of Call of Duty.
Yep, played that back in the day. Thanks! Already done Doom Eternal (PC and Steamdeck). Fun game. Never heard of Deathloop... I'll check it out.
Boy I'll tell you what! It absolutely is. Do not purchase it with the intention of playing the latest and greatest in all their PC glory. But if you don't mind turning down your settings (bearable enough when the screen is only 800p), or simply have a massive backlog of older Steam games that you can now play anywhere, along with every older console you'll be able to emulate, then it's a no brainer. It just so happens they put out a new model with some worthwhile upgrades, think of it as version 1.2. Get that, or snag a 1.0 cheap which will do the same job.
The appearance of it reminds me of Game Gear, which is what I am hesitant to pick it up. I don't mind turning down the settings, I have a great rig with a 3080 than handle that stuff. But good to hear on it.
