Nope, just buy more third party publishers. Then they'll really be anchored to that box.Heads should roll at Microsoft for this sort of blunder.
Imo RS games have been shit for 20 years straight. RDR and 3D GTA control and play like games from the PS2 era.Rockstar always pushes the tech with their games. RD2 was great all round. It also reviewed really well. So your opinion on its game design is a outlier. Rockstar pretty much always makes great games. We will see with GTA 6 though because some of their key people left like dan houser.
So now that the game is out on PC have anyone seen what might be the problem on Series S?
Yes. Memory

It’s a small studio that doesn’t have the time nor the manpower to pull this off simultaneously. A friend of mine is playing the game without problems on his ancient (gtx1060) PC. Typical clickbait.
It is true that BG3 would compete with Starfield in september but I think the games are different enough that they can coexist.I guess this can still work in Microsoft's favor. Starfield releases September 1st in early access and then the 6th for full release. BG3 already released for PC so there's no fight for RPG space there and since BG3 will release later on Xbox consoles, Starfield will take main stage for Xbox RPG's in early September then Phantom Liberty in late September, and BG3 whenever.
I mean it still sucks but September is packed and I personally wouldn't even been considering playing BG3 anytime soon as an Xbox player.

What about those who like turnbased RPGs?
Fantasy themed RPGs?
DnD?
RPGs you can play online with friends?
What will they play?
And why not just delay the splitscreen feature????
They’re doing it with Forza. Is splitscreen roleplaying such a popular thing that it’s worth delaying the game to have it in? Are millions of people playing BG3 splitscreen on PC or what’s the deal?

I have lots of friends who’re playing BG3 right now and yeah nobody is playing solo, but none are playing it split screen, everybody is just playing online.Co-op is BG3 not only amazingly fun, it also makes the game very different from a solo experience. It was the same with Divinity 2. Seriously, Xbox dropped a ball from a fucking cliff with this one.
I mean what's actually causing the problem.
supposedly, the memory set up.
I blame the parity policy more than anything.
100%, its time to drop it
Except that some people bought Series S's expecting the games to be the same. Dropping features is a big deal.100%, its time to drop it

Except as far as we know Series X owners are the minority. Yes, you paid more upfront, but since you paid the same for the games you are not actually contributing more to profitability. Your Gamepass fees are the same, right? Thus there is no ground for you to demand special treatment over Series S owners.Yep Series X owners don't have to be punished for this.

Will go down in gaming history as Xbox’s greatest blunder. Greater than RROD and tvtvtvtvkinecttvtvtvalwaysonline.Heads should roll at Microsoft for this sort of blunder.
I can see it now "split screen edition"Sony should sell a special PS5 bundle with a second controller and BG3 just to make fun of MS.
As usual you completely miss the point. That's only video ram requirements. Split-screen will also require double of CPU logic.People testing on PC says 900p on medium with Split Screen uses 3.5gb of Vram......that's about where you would think the Series S version would be.
That's true but the persons point still stands though. S/He said the game prices are the same and it's likely MS are taking a bigger hit on the X so for MS' business they would prefer to treat Series S as more of a priority than the X. Series X owners don't contribute more was what they were saying, sold games or gamepass.This isn't a gamepass title.
Would anyone here buy a laptop/computer with less than 16 GB ram in 2023?
I blame the parity policy more than anything.
Forza Horizon is so taxing even the Xbox One could run it......not quite the bait you thought it wasMy guess is 8GB + the 6gb vram but I’d have to ask him. Game needs optimization and it’s a small studio, big deal. When Rogue Legacy 2 launched on Xbox first, the narrative here was that it must have been moneyhatted even though the developers themselves confirmed that they simply didn’t have enough manpower to focus on multiple systems….in the case of bg3 of course it must be the fault of the series s. It’s holding everybody back even though forza horizon alone should have proven that that’s bullshit.
Maybe MS wouldn't mind a class action lawsuit if they suddenly get rid of feature parity.Well that's what happens when you cheap out on gaming. You pay less you get less.
Historically, plataform holders have a clause that demands parity of content for any game launching on different plataforms. Pc, playstation, Xbox or Nintendo. There are exceptions, for example if there is a hardware limitation: psvr for instance.Maybe splitescreen will be more popular on console idk but MS should’ve asked if Larian could release the game as planned and update it with the splitscreen feature later.
It may need a larger caching pool which won't display on the overlay (for different parts of the map, etc.). The fact of the matter, is the min-spec on the PC is more RAM than what's inside the S.
Now put your characters in opposite sides of the map
If it's loading different assets (textures, geometry, etc.), then yes, it should need a larger memory footprint.Oh I see, if you that the difference will jump significantly?
It should, as the game will need to have complete different sets of assets loaded in memory.Oh I see, if you that the difference will jump significantly?
If i would take a bet i would think it's the Act 3 which needs more work since Baldurs Gate City is really taxing even on PC.I mean what's actually causing the problem.
It should, as the game will need to have complete different sets of assets loaded in memory.
Also, its very likely the part of the game that is actually giving trouble is act 3, as it takes part in a massively dense city enviroment.
But that's not the premise Microsoft built on in relation to Series S. Don't you remember that video 'it's the same features just lower resolution?'. I know MS pulled the video down already, but I remember :XWell that's what happens when you cheap out on gaming. You pay less you get less.
