Baldurs Gate 3 split screen with my wife.

BG3 has a split screen!?

I have heard it doesn’t run quite well on PS5… Now I wonder if this mode is available there and if it is better or worse lol.

It does have split screen, and getting that mode in particular to run well is why the Xbox Series S version had problems coming to market. I can’t speak for how well it runs on PS5, but it had no problems getting certified by Sony.

The thing is, I have heard this title and Wukong don’t run that well in the PS5, or at least that is what I have read in online sites… I am not sure if that is true, or it is only PC gamers being noisy about it.

rhacer,

We’re playing on XBox Series X, and it behaves reasonably well. We typically split-screen while exploring, and merge the screens during battles.

When playing Divinity:Original Sin 2 we remained in merged screens 90% of the time, but for some reason it feels off in BG3, so we go with the merge only in battles.

I definitely need to read more about this… I (kinda) compare BG3 with The Witcher 3, and I would have enjoyed playing TW3 a lot with my gf for sure! (Not sure if she would like the whole run though).

rhacer,

Witcher 3 is my number 1 game of all time. My wife won’t play it because she hates Geralt’s voice.

TIL somebody is able to hate Geralt’s voice.

rhacer,

She knows she is in the minority.

I am just sad she’s missing out.

If you play on PC maybe there is a mod that changes his voice, IDK dude, PC modders are crazy 😂

Ziglin,

Does this work on PC? I couldn’t figure out local multiplayer last time I tried (I only tried for a couple of minutes).

I think it was BG3 or Potion Craft for me.

Hollow Knight. I just killed all 3 Dreamers on my steam save. Currently trying to beat Trial of the Fool. Keep dying to the Mawleks.

Notyou,

HK rocks! Those aspids fucking suck. I kept getting hit by them fuckers. The Trial of the Fool was tough, but the Mawleks got me nervous and jumping and that usually ends bad.

Did you open up the Hall of the Gods? You could practice on the bosses you’ve found.

atrielienz,

I have opened it but haven’t actually been inside. I usually do okay until the Mawleks. Usually die right after them. It’s not a bad idea to practice bosses actually. I’ve gotten every boss in the game on this save except HK, and Grim.

Balatro.

anomnom,

Anyone else feel like this is just a gateway drug to gambling addiction?

ImminentOrbit,

Wife was sick and in bed early, so I rang in the new year with Balatro! It was my last of 24 and first of 25.

I don't think there's anything I wouldn't revisit that still exists.

So things like Diablo 3 vanilla. man, fuck whoever thought of balance patching single player games.

or WoW BC, it's the people and excess free time of youth that made it good so it will never exist again.

Maybe Shenmue 2 import. I finished that game without knowing a word of Japanese, that's a lot of time investment I'm glade I made but wouldn't want to repeat ...

Rai,

One of my hottest takes is I liked vanilla D3 better than what it became. Taking out trade and economy made all items feel worthless. Getting a primal ancient legendary just didn’t hit like finding a high end weapon in vanilla, or a high rune in D2.

metaStatic,

the real money auction house was a mistake that ruined drops but I'm right there with you, I'd play day 1 D3 over the current mess if I could.

Rai,

Yahhhh RMAH was a good idea in theory. In practice, having RMT harder to access and shadier works much better than building your game and its drop rates around an actual auction house. When I was young I hated RMT so it feels weird saying that.

Emulated maybe some games, but I just can’t with most games with the original controller. I grew up with it too, it’s just insane.

tigeruppercut,

I played so much goldeneye that when someone fired it up almost 20 years later the controls were still in my muscle memory. I played fps on pc even back then so I knew the controller wasn’t ideal, but it worked well enough.

averyminya,

Haha, I played it quite a lot and I did not have the same experience! Respect to speed runners cause my goodness…

Good choice. I’ve been going back and forth between Timberborn and Satisfactory for about the past month.

Crozekiel,

Same! I’ve got over 200 hours in so far. It scratches that itch so well.

LoamImprovement, do gaming w What games are you nostalgic towards but wouldn't go back and play?

Any of the fallout/elder scrolls series. I remember whiling so many hours away in them as a kid and having a great time, and now any time I pick them up it just feels like a second job, looting and managing inventory ad nauseum.

UpperBroccoli, do gaming w What games are you nostalgic towards but wouldn't go back and play?

I loved and hated Ultima VIII. It had a good story, was entertaining, had really good music, but it also had the most horrible jumping-on-moving-platforms torture of any game I have ever played. It also sent me on a quest they never implemented, a fact they forgot to tell the player.

Flashback was also a fantastic game, but I also do not ever want to play that again. I remember destroying a keyboard as a teen because I was so frustrated after missing the same stupid jump for the umpteenth time.

I really hate the feel of flashbacks controls. Like navigating on a grid. I really wanted more fluidity.

Starcraft, Starcraft 2 has ruined me with multi-building-selection, the clunkiness, no smart casting, selecting more than a handful of units at a time.

Pretty much all the games of my childhood. With a few exceptions, I don’t replay most games I enjoyed. I play once, usually say “that was cool.” And call it enough for a lifetime.

ComradeMiao, do games w what was the last game you played in 2024?

War thunder:)

helloworld55,

I’ve been wanting to try warthunder but I’ve been turned off the the micro-transaction model. Would you still recommend?

I’ve played other milsims like arma, was wanting something with better air vehicle usage

ComradeMiao,

Yes I would. Three lines of thought:

One paying for premium is pretty cheap and often half off during holidays. Something like $30-50 for a year. And it makes the grind much quicker. They gotta run their servers and make money somehow.

Two buying premium planes at holidays is fairly reasonably priced, $30-40 dollars. You get exactly what you want the it makes the grind much easier. It gives you a ton more points making life easier. I recommend the Russian mig21.

So for 30$ once plus $30-50 the game isn’t that much of a grind, you support the devs, and you get to play what you want.

Three you can pay to just unlock normal planes you’re researching. I’ve found this to be unreasonably priced and see no reason to do this. For instance for US I’m slowly research the f14. Maybe a couple days and I could have it, but if I paid for the gold it would be something dumb like $60. I think that is never worth it.

I first started playing thinking I would never pay but premium and a good high tier jet are totally worth it. I’ve played almost 600 hours and bought four premiums and prem twice. So for maybe $120 I’ve gotten 600 hours and four exactly jets I want. That’s worth it to me.

Another thought, on the subreddit people often say if you don’t enjoy just playing a the grind to get high tier isn’t fun then you won’t enjoy the game. There is a lot of truth in this. Low to mid tier is actually in many ways more fun. WW1 is hilarious because there are a lot of newbs and the props turn so fast. WW2 is even more fun. I love my early jets like the f8u. So it was annoying to start not wanting to pay and just wanting high tier jets but honestly there is so many fun planes.

I believe I’ve got my monies worth haha ;)

Edit I’ll also add realistic if quite fun. If you want more arma like you might play ground realistic so you can fight tanks and planes.

NES TMNT

SurfinBird,

Good one. Pretty sure I’d die in that water tunnel just like back then.

Albbi,

I had that level down so good. It’s the level where Mike really shines since why would you want anyone else to get hurt?

The technodrome was my killer level. There just wasn’t enough room to manouver and you could so easily spawn those flying rock troopers. Ugh.

Maybe someday I’ll go back and actually beat the game after watching a playthrough.
