I’m a little confused about the complaints about split-screen. I’ve played over 200 hours of couch co-op with my husband and we are loving it. My only issue with it is that it can be buggy but hoping that gets patched eventually. I don’t think it was ever promised that split screen would work like DOS. Does it make that much of a difference?
Agreeing with labpluto123 here. My wife and I sunk 341hrs into DOS2 and dubiously assumed that the couch co-op for BG3 would be identical. We assumed so much that we went out and dropped money on a PS5, an extra controller, and BG3. With taxes it came to $700+, which in today’s economy is an investment, just shy of two car payments.
But beyond just a game, we saw this as an opportunity to reconnect and spend time with one another. We have an 18 month old, and are so tired at the end of the day, we just do our own thing (like reading next to each other), or we go straight to bed. We looked forward to getting proverbially balls deep into D&D and BG3 together.
I myself might be able to get used to the split screen, but my wife definitely cannot (first-person views in any game make her sick, for example). She isn’t a dedicated gamer as much as I am. Also the text size at times is way too small for both of us, and we have a 52inch screen. We’re in our forties, we don’t have the best eyesight, even with glasses. None of these problems were had in DOS2.
