    I have never felt as much envy as seeing someone play BG3 on an 8 hr flight. That was what sold me.

    To cap it off the SOB killed Scratch and the Owlbear Cub. That flight was actual torture for multiple reasons.

        It is. From my experience a couple months back its crisp. Not the highest graphics, and it took a little getting used to from a high-end PC, but it was really nice. In certain aspects even preferable xD

        It might do now. They’ve done a lot of improvements.

        Even on PS5 it was an absolute mess in co-op. 30fps (if you were lucky) all round, constant freezes (several seconds) when swapping characters, many many crashes. Whenever we told it to save, we’d have to both touch nothing to make sure it didn’t crash while saving. Oh, and there was a bug meaning only the player who chose to sleep for the day would get any companion progression.

        I think they were playing at a low res. 720p or maybe 480p. That said they didn’t even have stuttering. It was really impressive.

        Mine is still on order haven’t got it yet.

          I’d be happy if it played Owlcat RPGs at near full settings. Those games are allot more fun than BG3, imo.

          I digress though. It’d be nice to be able to play recent games again. If the deck can do that on my TV, I’m down.

              WotR for the win. never played Kingmaker. And I just got Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. I don’t understand how these games aren’t more popular.

              I feel like BG3 is big just because the camera zooms in close to the characters.

                Kingmaker is fantastic. I’m not that big a fan of Rogue Trader though. I kinda hate the Imperium of Man, in 40K I am Ork only.

                If you enjoy Owlcat then the Pillars and Tyranny from Obsidian are fantastic.

                  I’m going to look up all of their games eventually. They go hard on the systems and that’s a severely lacking quality these days.

                  Rogue Trader is cool, I’m only a few hours into it though. But man, the camera kills me. It’s got a weird rubber band effect to it that I don’t like.

                  But it’s mostly a nice improvement, or at least some different takes, on the WotR systems. My main complaint about their games is even with auto end turn on it never automatically ends any turns.
