Apology for Xbox’s hardware design?

Don't be a tight arse with this game, it's incredible

It basically shows that the priority larian took was right.

I don't think it will do very well on Xbox. Based on the PS5 performance, console gamers just aren't interested in this game. I think Game Pass it the only way it gets more than a week of traction on Xbox.
Huh? The game would sell much better day one than 3 months later at full price (assuming that's the plan).

Yup, such a shame so many miss out because of silly preconceived notions. I love CRPGs but I really think this game crosses over and would pull so many in with its quality if they only gave it a shot. More fool the ones who pass it by!

It was also a month late on Playstation at fullprice and it still is on all platforms. This is worrying to ask for gp after begging for the game to even come out on the platform for months.

I mean this is exactly the line of thinking that we’ll quite possibly see third-parties not bother with Xbox ports or at least not prioritize them…
why focus on a platform that’s trained it’s userbase to not buy games?

So 4 months late. Of course you'll hear people asking for Game Pass with that late of a launch.

That's not on Larian though. Xbox should have dropped parity clause earlier.

I can’t see most Xbox players play this anyways, those who give it a shot will drop it real quick once they realize how bad the gameplay is.
Don’t @ me.

It's by far the best game that released on xbox this year (on all platforms actually) but the point is just buy the game and actually support an indie studio who did soo much better than all those billion and trillion dollar company's. If people can't than we deserve another crash like 40 years ago.

Doesn't matter who it's on. If a game isn't day one on a console, expectations will be a lower price or in the case of Xbox, a possible Game Pass addition.

It didn't take long for "Wait until Gamepass" brigade. If you are saying it with the best game in a stacked year, you will never buy a fucking game.

People talk like Game Pass is free and publishers don't get money when putting their games in it. How long will this false narrative be pushed exactly ? How did other subscription services make money until today if everything is considered "free" as you suggest ?
Xbox players also buy games physically or digitally, like every other players in the world you know. Might come as a surprise for some of you.
But I agree that Larian could put the game in Game Pass for free (for MS) to apologize for their poor work at porting the game to Xbox.

As amazing as the game is, it's not going to resonate with the console market in the same way. We've already seen it. Larian will have those expectations in mind with this release. That's probably why you see some Game Pass talk around the Xbox release. I don't think it'll happen, but if it did, I certainly don't think it would hit PC Game Pass, which would just cause controversy. I don't think it's worth it.

Especially considering Larian's Series S work will even make the game better for other platforms. Larian is clearly doing some good work on the consoles.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's very unlikely but imagine them getting this on Game Pass. Would be such a huge fucking get.

Or they should stop making xbox versions altogether if people don't want to support their games anyway.

People are already seething at the thought of Xbox players getting this game for cheap. Personally, I don't see that happening, but the salt is always hilarious.
I think Larian would be smart to take the GP deal if it's good. No chance I'm buying this anytime in the next 6 months when I'm still working on Starfield. My plan is to buy it later after they've patched it for a while.

You're gonna attract the weirdos who prefer to play a CRPG with a gamepad, carefulBaldur's Gate 3 on a controller.

Baldur's Gate 3 on a controller.
I played the pc version with a gamepad haha but well nothing weirder than a friend who plays all from Software games with m+kb. That's peak.

That would be wild. Hope they do it.

I’m calling it right here and now. It’s a shadow gamepass drop at the VGAs. That tweet practically screams it.

the same people who are saying they won’t play it until it’s on GamePass or buy it unless it’s on sale as an ‘apology’ will then claim it’s somehow Sony’s fault if Xbox doesn’t get Larian’s next game

Rocket League mouse and keyboard. They are the weirdest.
Not really because it's FPS on controller that's the most indefensible

It was the second most downloaded game for PS5 on PS Store in its release month both in US and Europe
PlayStation Store: September 2023’s top downloads
Shoot fireballs, dice, or hoops in the month’s most-played games.

Edit: and still in top 20 in October
PlayStation Store: October 2023’s top downloads
Super Heroes and antiheroes are both included in the month’s most-played games.

Arguably the game of the generation so far and you're begging for it to be dumped on some subscription?

I think I’ll go in on Steam during Christmas but it depends on how much Starfield I’m still playing.
A Gamepass release would be amazing, announced at the TGA where it’s winning everything.

Not much time left in the year, I sense a stealth drop seeing as they wanted it to come by November.
Nonsense, the game is still new. Gamepass is always possible if MS ups its initial offer (the leaked court documents showed a woefully low figure, especially now considering the known quality of the game)

I mean that happens to basically every Xbox thread on GAF nowadays thanks to the evangelists
edit: 2 of the first 5 replies to this thread were asking for it to be on GP…
