They are trash on pc.
You do a rapid google search to see what are the more common problems.
The worst being that sometimes you can't unistall games or you unistall them but they don't free space in your hard disk and you have to format to get the space free again.
To me gamepass is only a valid option on console (also the number of games is way lower on pc)

Day 1 patch means Day 1 patch!
I’m glad I only played a little bit.
For those playing on the Series X, does the resolution seem any different after the patch?

It's unofficial and I cant prove it but it seems that game developers don't have actual Series consoles to test games. They use some version of a series X on their developer unit and it's not matching the actual consoles.
These FPS hitches and needing patches on day 1 is becoming a common theme.

Have you tried cloud gaming through a browser? Works great for me at work. That’s how I’ve played Vampire Survivors. Either on my work pc browser or on my phone.

FPS much better on Series X now. More npcs too.
Although, now I’m just watching Tammy and the T-Rex.

I've been playing exclusively through a browser since October since I've been in the process of a long move and my consoles are in storage. As long as you keep Edge updated you get 60fps through Game Pass Cloud Streaming (it'll work on other browsers like Safari, but Edge gets the best performance).

Just opened to a 9.9GB patch. Hope that takes care of a lot of issues and choppiness.

Full patch notes for todays patch, looks like they specifically mention fixing the performance issues.
I wonder if the performance factored into any of the review scores.

How about input lag and shit?
Does cloud gaming means like playing everything at 4k60 ultra details just by having a fast internet connection? like even with a mid pc?
Never being interested in this stuff, i'm kinda of a traditional guy when it comes to how\where i play my games.
Unrealted question, does this game has an option to decide the language of the audio and subs? or i have to set windows in eng to get the eng voices? (i'm from italy so i usually go audio eng sub ita)

I stopped at the ball grabbing scene, I'm going to watch it properly later, not on that tiny tv in the game.

Most GP games streaming now are on XSX hardware, so you get the XSX version at 60fps.

How about the sub thing? can i chose ingame different languages for audio and subs? or do i need to download a language package from the windows store? i'm really don't use the windows store much for games...

This is a game you have to try for your self. I love Roilands humor so I am biased but it's janky but not a janky mess, the shooting is fun and the meta aspect of it with the art style makes it unique. The story is kind of an after thought and the gameplay/jokes become the driving force which I love. If this was polished with a budget easy 9, but i get the current metacritic score. It feels like it was made by like 4-5 people who put their all into it.

Well not exactly. Depends on proximity to servers, connection, etc. and even then I wouldn’t call it equivalent, but it’s certainly very good and I’ve been played quite a few games on it.

Lag is Xbox Cloud is pretty tolerable as long as you don't have a lot adding to the overall latendy stack (laggy display, poor quality bluetooth controller, etc). Visually it looks like an HD YouTube video, like it's good but there isn't quite the definition of native. It's definitely a viable way to play, and I like it for gaming on the go.
I don't think this game has dubbed voices and I don't think you would want them if it did, as the voice acting is a big part of the appeal. A lot of the dialog is clearly improvised, there are even parts where you can hear the director talking to the actors, or actor going "Are we still rolling?" They left all that real stuff in. It wouldn't be the same if you just dubbed it.

That's incorrect actually.
There's modified XSX hardware in the xCloud datacenters but they're configured to run 2 simultaneous XSS profiles for GP streaming. So you're essentially playing the XSS versions of games when you're using Cloud Gaming. Which makes perfect sense as is.
Eventually if/when they offer 4K streaming they'd be able to scale up by allowing 1 4K stream per modified console.

Just updated my game and it's indeed like night-and-day on Series X. Feels like a locked 60fps now.

Well there goes Digital Foundry's video lol

I'm not sure the performance issues are fps related as im playing on PC at a locked 60 but the judder is insane when I pan the camera. Seems like a crazy framepacing issue. Hopefully digital foundry can shine a light on it but I'm gonna stop playing till it's fixed.

Oh yeah, i always use the original voice in any game, i was just asking for the subs ita and because i didn't knew the game wasn't dubbed in italian (sometimes they force italian voices unless you change the language on a system level)
Thanks.

That was first 4K disc I ever purchased. And it wasn't cheap and I don't know what's wrong with me, but, yeah, it was great.

Substantial update. Too bad reviewers had to rush their reviews out for them clicks instead of waiting for a day one patch.Full patch notes for todays patch, looks like they specifically mention fixing the performance issues.
I wonder if the performance factored into any of the review scores.

It's an unreal game right? I wonder if this is more of that cache issue they have been talking about lately.
adamsapple

Yeah I just deleted my save (I wasn't very far) and started a new game, and the difference is night and day.
I don't have any frame rate detection tools but if I were to guess, they changed the game from double buffer to triple buffer v-sync to remedy this, along with other optimizations.

Well, to be fair, they shouldn't have provided review copies to reviewers if they didn't have performance ironed out yet. They should've delayed the game by a week if they needed to.

If you've been following the thread, there was a 10gb day 1 patch today that has ironed out the majority of the bugs and the game runs great now on Series S|X.

It's another case of the Callisto's .. but I guess this is a lesser profile game so it won't get nearly as much scrutiny.
