Oh Walmart I love it when you hire lazy people. Got this earlier and it was free cause the game wasn't in their system and the lady up front was speed checking so she didn't catch the no scan

Best free game ever LOL XD

Honestly my $2300 PC can barely handle what the PS5 and Series can handle.

Then there must be something seriously wrong with your PC.

My PC runs MSFS2020 at 60fps at ultra settings, my XSX only does it at 30. I can play The Outer worlds PCE at 60 with all the settings maxed at 1440, Series X plays the same game but with lower graphics such as no screen space reflections and it can't even keep a solid 60.

I can play Cyberpunk with all the standard RT features on @60, but my SXS can only do RT at 30 and the RT was only local shadows.

I give zero crap about fps, can't play a game when it crashes or have optimization issues that have screen tearing or insane bugs.

You know the last time I had issues on a console, the 360 with the red ring issue or my personal favorite when Skyrim would brick PS3 consoles.

I'm perfectly fine with playing Jedi Survivor on Xbox on a 60 inch tv, meanwhile how long did it take them to fix Survivor on PC? oh shocking another bad pc port that's new (not).

Hell I love playing BG3 on my computer when it doesn't crash and I do have a pretty decent rig

Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900KF CPU @ 3.70GHz

32.0 GB ram

RTX 2070 Super

Some games (like Black Desert) I even have to run in window mode just so it doesn't crash. Playing on PC is like a waiting game or gacha game at this point, ether you have to wait for driver updates, patches/fixes and hope to god the next windows update doesn't go hannibal lecter on anything cause that sucked once (yes I had to roll back a windows update just to play a god damn video game).

Having a gaming PC is like having a $90,000 EV car, a $23,000 subaru (aka consoles) will get the job done minus a few bells and whistles.

Stable games without constantly spending 20 min fubaring around in settings.

Not really hyped for it since they fubard the release for it and decided to release it between Remnant 2, Baldurs Gate 3 and Starfield......it's like why would you release a game towards the start of the gaming quarter that has so many releases.

BG3 is so good these same "gamers" and "content creators" use to call BG3 a early access scam a few years ago.....my my times change and people try to forget.

I've owned BG3 since almost day 1 in EA cause I'm a Baldurs Gate fanboy and its funny to see these people who bashed BG3 for just being another overpriced EA game is amusing to say the least.

BG3 could have released when they did the Berserker release/patch 7 last year and it would still be better than 90% of the games out there.

RE2 remake pinnacle of what a remake should be. While RE4 is surely up there and I can see why people would choose it over RE2 remake, it just missed that itch RE2 had

1. 3 million sales for 1 system is pretty damn good and I'm sure most devs wished their games would sell for over 3 million. But SE being drama queens they do what they do.

2. This is why most devs go multiplat, the chances of doing big sales increases drastically, like look at Hogwarts which made almost a billion dollars in sales and honestly I think the whole drama for that game did little to increase its sales and people bought it cause its Harry Potter. Then you look at BG3, already breaking sales for only being on PC but I'm sure Larian cant wait to get that fat check once its released on PS5 and you can bet MS is looking at their dumb policies so they can get BG3 ported on their console to get some green.

3 million on its own is great however this game was a high budget game which would need more sales to cover the cost.

Assuming this game took 300 million to make + marketing they are not even breaking even. Which going by what SE was hoping that it would sell no less than 4 million would net them only 279 million in $$$. So that tells me that ether FF16 was 200 million to make at most or SE wouldn't care for 21 million loss as much as they made it out to be.

or it was greatly over 300 million to make I've seen some people say they spent 700 million on this game which I doubt it cause whoever greenlit that in the board meeting probably shouldn't be in charge of spending.
