nothing prevents Swen from announcing BG3 for Switch
BG3 on the switch would be worse than witcher 3 for the switch.

****, this came out of nowhere. I did at one point want a DRM-free version of Fallout 4, and might get it just to play with American Krogan's eventual mod release....
HQ mirrors his mod, fyi. I asked if he had any issues with this and he didn't say no after talking to me, so I assume it's fine.

PS5 feels like a scam, unless you *really*... and I mean REALLY want to play Demon's Souls.

no u ******. spending 1k on trash soystation or 3k on 4080 and rig that can use it makes u poor and negro minded pleb spitting in face of your possible children and offering gift to your jewish enemies.

its same disgusting boomer mentality that funnles resources into useless expensive vacations instead investing.

i know a ****** that spend 3k on pc.
but he didnt really spend 3k, he spend over 30 millions of todays usd cause that would be his return on investment in couple years if he wasnt ******** ******.

then again i bet u are kind of guy who would spend 50 000 Bitcoins on apple pie making fat **** like sam hyde look fit.

I called you a poorfag loser, because you have all of 0 business telling me how to spend anybody's money, least of all mine. You have no moral ground to stand on, you're barely an animal, and you probably haven't showered in days. You're deranged and diseased. None of your wild cunty guesswork is remotely accurate. ***

Starfield is currently leading the weekly top sellers chart on Steam, and has 250k concurrent players (deluxe edition paypigs).

What doesn't bode well is that, judging by the various gaming-related forums i have visited, this week has seriously damaged game's hype. People keep reposting the same pictures of ugly looking NPCs and comparing them to Baldur's Gate 3 party members, complaining about loading screens, complaining about bad main story, etc etc (not going to defend Starfield here, those npcs do look ugly, and Emil couldn't write a good main quest even if his life depended on it).

Is it going to beat BG3's number of concurrent players (800k+)???

Arguably, this is Bethesda cashing in all the bad rep they got for Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. Also, I think Microsoft ****** themselves over by using it as Gamepass bait, lots of people likely just paid for a subscription to try the game out.

I imagine it will sell consistently as time goes on and it stays in the spotlight as new DLC and mods get released.

Then again, I might be full of **** and people might have grown tired of Bethesda's formula and apparent lack of polish after being exposed to more games and RPGs.

Todd is probably staring at his phone is abject terror, hoping his new boss Phil doesn't call him. Looks like Microsoft's dream acquisition turned into a Lucasfilm situation.
