Installed the demo a while ago, installed the full game, but I didn't play it yet. The demo looked promisingSea of Stars has also been a nice palate cleanser
How is that working for you? I saw a mountain of complaints about performance (but also many saying the opposite), and the Steam review score at Mostly Negative.Cities Skylines 2.
At the moment I seem to be jumping between Cyberpunk, Valheim and Cities Skylines 2.

Now, you're talking about Cities Skylines 2...
I didn't really check on the store this month, knowning it was announced on game pass, so it would appear on the home page, in theory. But it didn't...
And yes, apparently they postponed the release on consoles by at least 6 months, sad
Edit : The end of the year promised to be (really) great, but on Xbox it appear to not be as great as expected. BG3 postponed without any release date and no info at all... Cities Skylines 2, "maybe" spring 2024...
Not so hopeful... I mean as far as I understood, it was "just" because an issue in coop between Series X and Series S. Already 3 months just for "that", annoyingActually, for BG3, Larian confirmed they were confident they would release in 2023 just a few days ago.
Considering their track record, I don't doubt them. You should get to experience the absolute greatness that is BG3 before 2024.

Beside, if the game is released at full price (i.e same as PS5/PC in august), I won't buy it directly. No way, not 6 months later than everyone else. So no probably not before 2024 anyway
I don't really get the argument about Series S wasn't powerful enough... How PCs handle splitscreen?It's due to coop splitscreen on the series s alone. The console just isn't powerful enough to handle it. The studio feels it's a must for the game and MS requires both versions to be equal feature-wise so it's either drop splitscreen completely (which is no-no) or find a way to make it work on series s. MS didn't care about it because they thought BG3 wasn't going to be the smashing success it was.
Then MS eventually wanted some of that sweet BG3 success and conceded that the series s launches without splitscreen coop.
Meanwhile, most of the studio focused on making the PC and PS5 versions even bbetter. Small team. Hence the time. At least you'll get all the quality of life improvements right away.
When I say "full price", it's the price others paid it months before. So when it will be released on Xbox, if I already saw the game on sale on Steam for example, it won't push me to buy it right away...I really don't get your argument about paying full price. I personally base my willingness to pay full price on a game's quality/perceived quality and how interested I am in it. Not whether people got to experience it before I do. That seems rather vindictive to me, especially when the product is known to be of incredible quality and other people's getting to experience it before you did has no effect on you. But it's your prerogative!

Not sure it's available, I guess yes. But the difference is even bigger, if for example one PC run a 4080 and another one run a 2080 (or even an AMD card).

Beside, don't get me wrong I really, really love Larian. Their games are masterpieces. I pre-ordered/bought DOS2 as game preview...
It wouldn't have bothered me to "pre-order" it or buy a "game preview" in august... even with bugs, even without splitscreen. But months after everyone else, nope.
So sure I will buy it, sure it's a great game, but I'll wait until the game is on sale
