Every single game Launched on PC this year is better and more optimized on Consoles, Including BG3
It's over. Spending 1500$+ for a PC or chasing the next best overpriced GPU from NVIDIA is over. Trying to cope that PC is MasterRace because we get free online or have steam deals is a fools folly. Game already crashed and lagged like booty in Act's 1 and 2 but Act 3 is completely unacceptable on PC where on console it runs smooth as butter.

PC gaming is finished, over, dead. If you continue supporting PC releases with this level of disregard to the playerbase you deserve to keep getting handed MK1's, Starfields, and Baldur's Crash 3, with sht performance and missing features. Console gaming is the new standard and the only platform these greedy developers care about so it's time to jump ship. It's Infinitely cheaper anyway.

Going to go buy a PS5, as I should've done a long time ago. I advise you all to do the same.

That very much depends on the Dev, or rather the teams working on said port.

And consoles... eh, I haven't (inappropriately) touched my PS5 for half a year now. Making the switch to PC long term is probably still the way to go.

Unless you decided to need to have all teh new shiny things. Then you're going to have a bit of financial trouble.

I mean if you like playing on an inferior machine then yes Xbox or PS is your places to play.
The boxes aren't terrible for the price but it is a scenario of you get what you pay for.
After buying an Xbox and PS, I saved and bought a high end PC because in the end the PC will outperform those outdated boxes for longer and with 1000% better performance.
When the next series of consoles comes out and they are $500+ I will be glad the PC I bought still outperforms them.

yes but can it run pong ?

Me just sitting here enjoying BG3 with my 250 euro refurbished PC with a Nvidia 1030 GT slightly under min running the game at Medium setting with only one crash.

Enjoy your 1500$ paperweight.

Yes but can you play outside? (Steam Deck)

Dunno I just installed a new videocard driver and now I have zero crashes on my 8 years ( or something ) old PC

If you stop treating your PC like a console, you'll find that it does so much more than just play games and stream Netflix.

1500-2000 every 6-8 years to play everything is better than multiple 600-800 consoles every 4 years to get access to everything.

Consoles killed themselves with exclusives, and you still see it tearing the community apart.

PCs bring people together. Consoles bring cheeto fingers to voice chat who don't understand push to talk.

I will never understand that trend.

This is the worst ad for console gaming I've seen yet.

Bro developers are pushing graphics and minimum reqs so hard and fast that we now need to upgrade hardware every 4 years just to hit recommended requirements. Also what console is dead and replaced in 4 years? Consoles last 8+ years every generation. The answer is clear who's dead in the water.

Have fun playing on steamdeck for an hour before the battery dies or your hands catch 3rd degree burns. Not even mentioning the fact you're paying 500$ for something that can't even play all steam games.

I don't know what you are talking about, Baldur's gate runs great, can't say the same about Starfield (i'm not intrested on that game anyway). If you want to go to console go ahead you do you but i'm keeping the moding, indie games and flexibility of a PC.

That's because we're in a technology spike. Moore's Law is churning full speed.

You not understanding hardware development, history, and life cycles doesn't suddenly make it bad.

Go play your PS5 if you like it so much. Use the forums ther.... oh, wait.

It problably was 1500$ 10 years ago LMAO :steammocking:

BG3 is easy to run GPU wise and CPU wise you can get way with 30FPS cus is turn based so i don't see a problem.
