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.

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).

Big shout out to Beyond All Reason. It’s an RTS game that’s free and open source that I’ve been playing with my friends for a few weeks now. Not even a fan of RTS games, but it’s a lot of fun to play co-op matches against AI.

Gift him a Starsector code or share your own if already have one.

Gift any super moddable games he likes. If he enjoys Bethesda games on consoles, he will definitely love PC only mods. Also explain to him what Big Picture Mode on Steam is. I wish I knew it existed when I started. Get the same console experience and seamless controller integration even if the game doesn’t officially support it.

Edit: Also any super pretty games would probably be a nice gift. Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the first I installed. Really nice realizing how much better looking games can be with a powerful computer.

Limiting to PC only games makes things tricky. Most games on PC are available on console as well. Especially soulslike and fighting games.

But my recommendation is Ultrakill. It’s a fast paced FPS with a Devil May Cry style system. It really showcases the benefit of having a mouse and keyboard for shooters.

Edit: another is Black Mesa.

ggtdbz,

I went with Ultrakill! I might get it myself. I think older style graphics boomer shooters are a core part of the current wave of PC games.

When you say “android” does it depend on any google services? Or will it run on lineageOS with no(minimal) google stuff?

schamppu,

The game requires Google Play Services for the pedometer to work (the game uses the new Recording API to count your steps while the game is closed). On GrapheneOS I’ve heard it works if you run it in a sandbox. You don’t need a Google account for the Recording API to work, and according to the developer documentation data is stored locally.

If you can run sandboxed apps woth Google Play Services, it should work, but I’ve not heard from LineageOS users any experiences.

oo1,

Thanks.

I’ll have a look if I can sandbox in lineage first, then maybe apply for the beta test if it looks possible.

schamppu,

If you apply, make sure to mention that! Would appreciate hearing if it works or not.

I thought I’d mention as it hasn’t been mentioned yet: the only way to install the game on Android is through Google Play. You also need to join a Google Group to get access on Google Play.

Yoshi's Crafted World is pretty ideal for a young kid, there's a special mode for young kids too where you basically can't fail.

Guild wars 2! Giant map to explore and alright story in the free to play part.

Even if you pick different backrounds and race you can port to the other starting maps and the story connects everything later on.

It also gets more difficult so dont think it is always easy like in the starter zones.

And it is one of the old school f2ps thats still good without paying if you wanna try it out.

But if you spend money on an expac you keep it and dont have to pay for a savegame like WoW.

One of the rare MMOs that values your time and money.

jjjalljs,

Guild Wars2 is very good.

It downscales your level if you go back to older areas, so you can play with lower level friends. (Though it’s still pretty generous, and the high level friends will be more effective). So if your friends aren’t playing much, you can still coop with them when they do play.

There’s a lot of content. Most of the maps have stuff just happening. There’s also instanced content for 5, 10, or … I think private convergences can go up to 20?

There’s not really a gear grind. When you hit max level (which is pretty easy) good-enough gear is very easy to get. A smidge better than that is a little expensive but still very feasible. The fanciest gear is numerically the same, but let’s you reskin and swap stats for free, which is nice.
