Always good to see someone in the industry push back on all of these shitty tactics the AAA publishers want to push.

I bought it when the alpha was released.

Like two years of act 1 had me around 200 hours before it even released. Act 1 did seem bigger back then tho, the intro especially.

I've moved from PC to PS5 since and I'm definitely going to rebuy on PS5 eventually. It's the only game I still play on PC these days.

I'm interested. What made you switch recently? Seems like most migrate over to PC from console and not the other way around. For cozy couch play I've gotten myself a 50' hdmi cable and a wireless controller, with an apk on my phone that let's me control the pc so I don't have to go back to it to start a game or anything.

PS5 controller and missing out on all the PS4 exclusives in addition to this gen.

The controller sounds gimmicky if you haven't tried it, but for racing and shooters it's insanely immersive.

I think there's more support for it on PC now, but I don't know if the haptic triggers work. CoD feels like you're pulling an actual trigger and for racing brake/throttle is realistic in an inexplicabe way.

BG3 is probably the only game I'll double buy tho, and that's just because of how great it is.

Oh. Controller support is great now. Thanks to steam and steam deck, most pc games fully support Xbox and ps5 controllers. I do a large portion of my PC gaming with controllers, although now with my steam deck, most of my gaming has been done on that. Adult life left me with fewer large time gaming blocks to play, so it's been wonderful for me.
