Well it would certainly work better with a keyboard and mouse. These kinds of games are just far easier to play with that setup. I'm guessing that's what he means.
It’s silly, the game works perfectly fine with a controller, as do DoS1, 2 and both PoE games.
This is like saying assassins creed is a console game because it works much better with a controller than m&kb. It makes no sense. It’s a game.

I must say, 15 hours in and I’m still not comfortable with the combat, and I’m not new to RPGs.

I’ll finish SoS first then come back to this. The production values and characters are amazing, though.

Im loving it so far, the combat is more TRPG so Im good with that. 60fps seems fine

I can agree with you when you have a game designed for mouse/keyboard being played with controller (it is a pain).

But these days long gone… nowdays most if not all games support both since start and even with different UI.

In Baldur’s Gate 3 the controller UI is so good that you won’t miss any mouse/keyboard… the opposite I’m reading a lot of PC players saying it player better with controller.

That's dissapointing. Does it have a performance mode or it is only 30fps?
There's a performance mode but it's unstable, especially the last 1/3 of the game in the big city is prone to lower frame rates

Yeah I've played BG3 on PC. I would get drops from 100fps to 30 in Act 3, but only in specific areas (mainly the first exterior city location). Very annoying but glad 60fps exists since should be fine for bulk of the game.

All modes run on 30fps

It actually drops to 30fps and below from that newer site.
It reaches 60fps in performance mode too.

And I will ask the benefice of doubts here because this new site analysis is weird and nobody is reporting performance issues yet.
VG247 said the 60fps mode has dips only in busy areas (that is actually several times better than Elden Ring :D :D :D).

I can post impressions tomorrow.

Lmao using PC games to console war.
LMAO using bought out third party multiplatform games to console war.
PS fanbase became CRPG connoisseurs all of a sudden! They were there since the Black isle days!
The PS fanbase is diverse with players of all ages and backgrounds.

For example, I was gaming on PC long before I ever did on Playstation. I was there when the original Baldur's Gate innovated by not being just turn based. And when Blizzard became famous by basically copying the Dune 2 from Westwood Studios formula. And during the FMV craze. And at the height of the Amiga. And Speccy.

I didn't "suddenly become a CRPG connoisseur", you simpleton. You are so used to corporate drones posing as console gamers, let alone PC gamers, that your best way to cope is childish projection.

Careful with assuming and generalizing fanbases.

I was editing autoexec.bat files before you were born, you hypocrite.

I remember how hard it was for me to first get Prince of Persia running on a Schneider. Crazy times.
