Honestly, that's exactly what I was expecting. Now just hoping it runs on my PC. Guess we'll find out in a couple days!

i haven't been playing starfield because though i have gamepass its like 200 gigabytes in size and i dont think i would really be into it that much... but i love how chuds online got angry about there being pronouns in it..
you can literally have a character with alien DNA and 15000 different identities of species... and you draw the line at she/her

I started this a few days ago, maybe Weds? but up until this afternoon I had been sick in bed since Thursday, so I haven't played too much...
but I'm about 8.5 hours into the game, and while RPGs of this nature were never my thing, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and highly recommend it, especially if you have Game Pass/PS+ since it's on both services

I'm burning through Earthbound (on Switch) atm while visiting the folks in CO. It has me considering buying a repro of Chrono Trigger which I've never played because I'm so picky with JRPGs.
Been enjoying it as well. Love the nostalgia it gives and the “simplicity” in its mechanics.
not my thing but recommended it to my brother who is a big RPG guy and he seemed interested

Baldur's Gate 3 is out on PS5. Do yer duty.
how hard is it to wrap one's brain around this game?
up front, I am not a "D&D" guy, I am not an "RPG" guy (for the most part), I'm not a "Strategy/Tactics" guy...but I am a "very interested in the best reviewed game of all time" kind of guy. So when it finally comes to Xbox I might have to check it out, but I'm afraid my brain won't be compatible with this game

There is a lot to absorb, but the game provides all kinds of tooltips to help you piece systems together. And almost all of it fundamentally boils down to simulating everything important by rolling a 20 sided die.
That deceptively simple complexity is part of what makes the game feel so alive despite it being very proudly a game.
@Tillman check this out:
I should also say that the controller interface is considerably less intimidating.

EDGE dropped their BG3 review:
Baldur's Gate 3 - 10
Their 22nd 10/10 dating back to 1996!

I love waking up, checking my bank account to see that Microsoft raised the price of Game Pass by $2.

How much is that?
There's 3 tiers but it went up by as much as $50 a year.
yeah, that's definitely bad, and I'm not defending it. but when comparing the cost of the mid-tier, which I'd assume most people had, to Game Pass well then Game Pass went up by $2 per month vs PS+ going up by $3 per month. I know it adds up, but the fact that Sony got so slammed for this while Microsoft seemingly skated by unnoticed is a bit strange to me.
now I don't have PS so I don't know if it's as valuable as Game Pass where being a dollar more per month is terrible pricing. but it costing $100 per year just to play online and cloud saves is fucking ridiculously bad pricing!
It's nowhere near as good as game pass AND yeah you're stuck having to pay it if you want to play online. It's garbagio, but Sony has always treated it's gaming customers like garbage.

Wasn't there a time when PlayStation Online was actually free? I remember deciding to get an Xbox 360 because my friends all had one but I really wanted a PS3 because I had only had PlayStations up until that point.
