Happy new year guys!๐Ÿ˜€ Just now, it hit midnight here, and it's officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it's the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I'm curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?

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.

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

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).

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

TIL somebody is able to hate Geralt's voice.

[โ€“] rhacer 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.
