Baldur's Gate III has jumped to #2 Best Selling Pre-order on PSN " - BenjiSales Seems all the postive attention on pc sales, has had a impact on PS5 pre-orders, and its still like a month out for it: Also BG3 is now on the top10 list of highest concurrent played games on steam (713k players online). It reached the 9th spot, so even if starfield comes in and beats it, it should be sitting at a 10th spot the year out. |
I wonder how many of these PS5 preorderers will be very disappointed. Because they probably think of Final Fantasy or Dragon Age when they hear RPG, but Baldur's Gate is so totally not that. Will they even manage the first turn based fight on the Nautiloid? In early access I needed some time to figure out jumping, they had a gap early on. How many will even manage to finish the Nautiloid, as this plays so much unlike modern games? I just wonder. On PC more players will be used to these playstyles, but on PS5? Just a few doubts here. I am obviously happy about the interest the game gets.
