The texture AF bug is also on PC. PC users need to enforce anisotropic filtering via drivers (NVCPL) and set it to 16xAF to achieve the PS5 (or better) quality. It will reduce performance a bit more than the in-game settings, because drivers enforce the AF for all textures used, even normal maps, specular maps, height maps etc.
It's a game that has to keep track of half a million things you've done by act 3. Finding the cause, fixing it and making sure the fix doesn't break stuff is going to take a huge amount of time. Before some patches reduced the save file size my savegame folder got to over 150GB by the beginning of act 3.
@koty2201 in terms of what? Power, its better. Capability, its better. Ps5 has a faster ssd, but that doesn't translate well. For example, Alan wake 2 is much better on series x
@@koty2201 that's a dev problem. Industry experts also say this. And to the other guy, it has great dev tools. Just most of the time it's an after thought for devs. There's a weird hate for xbox.
Not even trying to dickride Larian, but this isn’t even remotely the same. A game of this size having bugs is to be expected, so long as those bugs aren’t game breaking or extremely common (like CP2077 at launch).
There were a bunch of bugs on other platforms too, however they actually do something about it. A lot actually, usually in one patch. This however brings forth unintentional side effects at times and get fixed in the follow patch or hotfix
Few bugs are ok. If its not like Starfield or Cyberpunk on release. Stuff like that. The game is huge. Even if you don't do side quests you probably need 40 or 50 hours.
Series X performance mode would prefer a consistent 45 fps then a flickers 45-55 fps like the playstation has... Its not that the playstation is stronger, its more that they have different approaches to the same thing, one is more consistent and 1 is more variable, 1 fps is lower and 1 fps is a little higher, depends on what you want as a gamer
Probably cpu bound, great graphics but also everything the world can be interacted with. For comparison ff16 is beautiful, but you can't touch anything, move anything, no physics. You just walk the the environment
From what I’ve seen, it just seems like they knew they struck gold with the writing and cba to optimize it correctly. Why put extra money into optimizing when people are gonna buy your game and praise you even if you don’t?
Console optimization is different than pc and the devs had problems on it, they didn't even know there was a difference, their are some reddit posts about it.

I've played all the way (not very much) to the grove with my brother on his Xbox, but I'm building a PC right now and can't wait for this game to come out.
Ever since these performance reviews came out IGN editors have been trying their very best to become better or copying DF straight out. Honestly IGN is just jealous as hell
As someone who grew up in the 80’s with old school pen and paper, this game was…. Disappointing. You guys are so full of crap talking this infantile drama as a paragon of gaming.
I'm not gonna be an Xbox or PC fanboy, I'm just happy more people get to play this incredible game.
Same. This game should be enjoyed by all RPG lovers alike. This game is an experience like no other.
Too bad my save files keep getting deleted on Xbox which makes playing it, not worth it.
Yeah you got a xbox 😂
@@jessey1729 I’m looking at getting the game, was hoping that it was patched by now but still nothing?
I’m helplessly addicted got two play throughs going at the same time, one for RUclips and the other for my self

These videos are the best thing IGN puts out any more. Love it.
Why did they use a Xbox One* controller in the controls menu for a Xbox Series game 🤦♂️ 0:35
Not 360 but a regular Xbox one controller, still kinda hilarious ;v
Goes to show how much of an afterthought Xbox really was to them.
Probably took the first pic they could find on google 😭
The issue is also the save bug on xbox, ridiculous its not sorted yet
PS5 version has bugs also
Exactly what has kept me from buying.
@@James-xx4kb Not a bug where it erases your save though.
Heard it got lazy optimization for Xbox too
Wtf were these guys thinking?

But does the Xbox version crash as much with Patch 5. Literally cannot play Act 3 on the PS5 anymore without the game freezing up and crashing.
WHEN IS CROSS PLAY GONNA BE AVAILIBLE?
Never 😢
@@Synergy4375 they annouced it now :)
Reason the series x version isn’t as great as ps5 is because of the developer. The series x version was an after thought .
It's because the X Box is a worse console 🤷🏻

@@iabaca Did you notice the game loading time? Even the FPS drops? Don't be ridiculous 😂
Series X is much harder to develop for than PS5 due to a lack of dev tools, so it’s not just the devs fault.
@@koty2201 that's a dev problem. Industry experts also say this. And to the other guy, it has great dev tools. Just most of the time it's an after thought for devs. There's a weird hate for xbox.
So just like most games, wait for patches before purchasing.
Or just play it on the PS5. Xbox version is awful.
@@bobjoe5937 so is the ps version
@@bobjoe5937 how is it worse if the xbox has vrr support.
Don’t purchase this game is crap. Well I’m not into rpg games that have the fov from the sky
Still no MOUSE and KEYBOARD support for Consoles?
No
Still no puzzy amazing 🤦♂️
Why you don’t tell about textures loading every new scene on Xbox ?
Hi is it worth to get it on the xss?
Great video! but it only took me less than 60 seconds to load the game on Xbox SX not 2 minutes
They released the version full of bugs on Xbox.
After all the praises of them being better than big companies they did what big companies are doing.
The game is big. What did you expect. This is not the 90s anymore 😅. They will update it soon.

@@larbolarb1625 they are gamebreaking though. it literally deletes all your progress
I’ll give it a 9/10 bc it’s an amazing story/gameplay but the bugs gotta take away from it
I’ve tried to play this game three times now but just can’t get into it.
This is a pointless video for you.
And that’s okay! Gaming is a subjective experience and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for not liking something. Have a happy new year!
Nothing right with that. You like what you like.
Did you mean nothing's wrong with that??? @@kian26master
Gotta be in the right mood. If you like fast paced stuff then yeah it wont be for you atm
Massive dub for ps5! Xbox loading and screen issues once again on one of the best games of all time
Who else is watching this since it's on sale?
it’s DRM free 😂

Hardly notice a difference
Other than loading times ive not noticed any real difference between the two. (And even the loading time difference is negligible)
Michael Thompson, how is Pichael Thompson?
Is Baldur’s Gate 3 one of those games that’s overly demanding on hardware? The game isn’t visually top notch.

Interesting as ever. But, yet again, an example of another game better played a few months after release…
And people still wonder why ps5 is outselling Xbox? lol
By 3 to 1. I have both, and i'm not surprised. ps5 exclusives wipe the floor with xbox's

never reached act 3 i take it then.
Is Act 3 that bad? @@fo0za954
Lies.
@@fo0za954na thats cap
Act 3 on the PS5 has all sorts of problems.
Literally the exact same

Oh!
On sale at ps store right now
Game of the year and still barely runs properly. Hilarious.
Series X IS better
Are you high? The PS5 version is superior in every way.
"World's most powerful console"
Thanks for the vid, was about to buy it on Xbox, it seems pretty scuffed.
So its still bad then

Y’alls bought world most powerful useless console that have no games!🤣
Lol the ps5 has more games/better exclusives then the xbox currently
yes, the ps5 is the world's most powerful console.
Ps5 wins it again!
And once again ps5 is better
LMAOOO The "most powerful console of the world" is a joke
Ps5 getting more fps than Xbox x 🤭😂😂😂🤣🤣
lmfao ya cant ruin the game 60fps at all. lmfao this is sad in 2023
True, wierd since it's more powerful.
The performance is great but the gameplay is hot garbage.
Uh… performance isn’t great did you watch the video? “Xbotlife” indeed..
As someone who grew up in the 80’s with old school pen and paper, this game was…. Disappointing. You guys are so full of crap talking this infantile drama as a paragon of gaming.
🤓
Comparing a video game to pen and paper is moronic.
that level complexity can never replicated with 3d graphics while also being playable(general public). true game would be too niche and difficult.
One of the worse games
😂
Boring Game Like Starfield.
Ps5 is the best. Xbox is chiet.
Haha xbox stinks
lmfao consoles are straight dog shi, no matter the generation they will always have performance issues
It’s like a third of the price of a pc that would get the same performance bro
Are you serious? Consoles are ALWAYS half the price of the equivalent PC parts.. Not to mention they are exclusively optimized unlike PC
My PS5 runs just fine, guess how many parts I've had to purchase it to upgrade it since 2020?
This game is crap
