I’m actually contemplating downloading the demo and getting stuck in. I think they said progress carries over.

Some poeple have played the demo for hundreds of hours farming legendaries to carry over to the main game. The demo has 9.5 million hours logged. It’s crazy.

It kinda reminds me of the demo’s we’d get on the PC Format or NAG disks that we’d play over and over again. Some of us spent more time replaying the demo than we ever did playing the full game!

We all got a taste of Outriders with the recent demo, so I’m thrilled to announce that Outriders will be available on Console and Android phones and tablets via Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) with Xbox Game Pass on day one!

Just spreading awareness that this doesn’t seem to include PC.

Which sucks, was contemplating getting it this way rather than spending R800

This game is a big meh for me. It is so highly rated and well regarded but I don’t like it at all. It has some really interesting ideas, but it’s not for me.

Wonder how it will run on the ol’ XB1…

Started playing the demo last night, and while I have a few reservations overall it wasn’t that bad, acceptable. Much like many games of this nature there are specific slow downs or bottlenecks in certain areas that I have come to accept.

PS: I am playing it on a One X and not an Xbone.

I’ve read that it might have something to do with the game not being available on Windows Store, but not sure.

There is hope though. A couple of the games on that list came to console game pass and are now coming to PC as well.

Nier Automata is an amazing game, please do give it an honest try.

I hated it. And with good reason.

Making you replay an hour, including unskippable cutscenes, because you died is inexcusable and is ridiculously bad game design.

Apparently you can play the game on easy and skip that but it’s too late then.

edit

There’s some really good posts about it on the internet but I quite like this one:

I definitely won’t be playing on hard then!

Seems like after the prologue it’s better design, and maybe with the “game of the yorha” version they changed the checkpoint design
