Well I think the whole performance thing have been blown waaaay out of proportion by a vocal few. I have a relatively old pc with an rx580 8gb vram and the game's been running fine for me. Obviously it needs some patches, but people have been saying it's the second coming of ksp2, and that's simply bullshit
Don't downplay peoples valid concerns, we should strive for better performance in any game. Just because some people can put up with low framerates doesn't mean others should have to. I think 120fps at 1080p should be absolute minimum performance we should accept out of a game given the power of PCs these days.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want to downplay people's experiences and performance issues ARE concerning, and I personally hold the belief that a company is responsible for the quality of the product they bring to market and ultimately a fault in their own processes if they couldn't. BUT it doesn't take away that the issue has been overblown. It simply, given the game's circumstances, shouldn't be getting the hate it's currently harbouring. It seems to me that the internet's found the new shiny thing to hate on, and the human psyche simply can't resist just a smidge more of rage
Perhaps that is the case, but it also swings in the opposite direction of games being overpraised when there are glaring issues - see BG3. Bad press usually causes change a lot faster though and I find it refreshing when people actually leave negative reviews with their concerns. Although I agree there are the people who take it too far and just jump on a hate bandwagon, which ruins actual criticisms.
I agree! I miss nuance in the internet's hivemind
What glaring issues are there with BG3?
Act 3 - so many bugs, inconsistencies, crashes. The issues leak into the first two acts aswell, but act 3 is a real mess. The game really struggles to keep up with itself by that point.
Oh shit I haven't experienced that personally but I'm sorry that you are! I did lower the graphics a little in the city since there's so much more going on, maybe that's made it more stable for me.
