I wish. Don't think I can justify the price yet! Enjoy though. Getting amazing reviews.

[–] StuckInAWell@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Same. Not because it isn't necessarily worth it, but because I'm broke.

[–] poxonus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Def worth the price tag if you got the cash in hand.

[–] IBNobody@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

There's no way this game should be 100GB for the deck. They should have done what Blizzard did with D4 and offered it without the 4k texture pack bloat.

[–] msprout@beehaw.org 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just a note for all y'all Deckers, set Proton Experimental in settings to get it to boot.

[–] poxonus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for this! I just got home from work and was about to do some research on which version I needed to get things working.

I will say to the people saying it's too expensive I hear you but and I'm sure in a while down the road it will be cheaper but this is totally THE game studio that's worth $60 for how many hours you can get out of this game.

I have 3 words for you then cs.rin.ru

[–] Hyacathusarullistad@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm gonna have to wait for a good sale before I can justify buying yet another game to add to my backlog. I still have entire franchises I want to finally get to.

[–] cambriakilgannon@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I woke up and remote downlaoded using my phone and went back to sleeeeeep. But i just found out my dog has congestive heart failure so I haven't been able to enjoy it :(

[–] Hyacathusarullistad@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Best wishes to you and your dog, dear stranger.

[–] catboss@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I am sorry to hear that. My cat got diagnosed with a heart condition too recently. It just sucks. I recommend taking a few days off if you can and spending some quality time with your doggo.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

That sucks! My pupper had to have surgery after eating a sock, it's the worst feeling. Hope he gets better

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I didn't have early access, I bought it straight from steam today. It was 54gb and change 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I wish there was a way to find the actual download size. It says 100+ gigs in the system requirements, which actually put me off from it on a metered connection. 54 is much more doable.

[–] meant2live218@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On PC, the download size is 100GB, install size is 122Gb, and the devs recommend 150GB, probably for saves and potentially mods one day.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah OK, that's what I thought from the specs. Thanks. Idk where OP's 54gb comes from then.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

125+ here...

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In retrospect I think I'm an idiot and 52 gigs was what I had available before I made more space by deleting shit.

Ignore me, I'm fairly stupid today.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

No worries -- I did wonder if maybe you had it on Early Access and 52 gigs was the difference with the official release.

Oh man. It took me two hours in the character creation screen and one of those two hours was spent deciding on what custom character I was going to play.

Haven’t looked up anything on BG3 and made myself forget that it released in EA a couple of years ago. So far, I’m just utterly amazed by it. Probably going to spend way too much time, that I don’t have, on it. Worth the wait so far.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Whatever you do, DON'T get all the way to nearly completing a character and then change subrace. 😭 Back to zero.

[–] MishMash@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Downloading it on my Deck now and can’t wait to see how it plays! They said FSR2 is coming soon, so hoping that’ll help with performance.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Waiting on the PS5 version. Sept. 6.

[–] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

It's downloading as I'm typing this comment

[–] Feliberto@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I bought it from GOG, can't make it run =`(

Do you think I need to play the first 2 before this one?

[–] TurnWest@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

No, there are references and stuff to the others but it is a self contained story.

[–] poxonus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Ha. Go for it if you want.

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why is your install twice the size mine was?

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Did you miss the memo not to allow it to just update the EA version?

[–] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I missed that memo

Gotta wait a few paychecks
