I didn't have a very polished experience at all with BG3, maybe because I played too close to the release date?

It was very frustrating to be honest, but at least they are still fixing the game

I played it at release and didn't have very many bugs. I could see players having issues with the freedom that it gives though. The whole point of the game is it doesn't tell you how to solve problems, and you need to come up with solutions yourself. I could see people coming from playing only modern AAA games not being used to thinking for themselves and that causing issues, but I don't know if this is what you meant.

Yes this wasn't what I meant, the game had a lot of performance issues and bugs when I played. The act 3 was also very unpolished and felt unfinished

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, performance was much worse in act 3. That's true. It's a top down turn based game, so 30 FPS was acceptable for me. Still, it wasn't ideal. I think that's been improved now if you wanted to give it another go.

What type of issues have ya had? I haven’t encountered any game breaking bugs myself.

[–] Templa 1 points 1 day ago

It has been a long time but we played couch co-op and whenever the turn would change between players we had to wait like 5 minutes lol

There were certain skills if used in combat that would also trigger a freeze. Sometimes one of the players would be completely unable to control their characters and we had to reload the game.

Plus the fact that act 3 felt unfinished and rushed and didn't follow the peace of the rest of the game
