I read the intro to Ori is worse than Bambi, I'm at 80% on my download now and preparing tissues and icecream to help me deal with the feels.

Better love story than twilight
It seems to switch to windowed mode on alt+tab, so that might be causing problems. Fine for me though. The loading speed at the beginning of the game is bad, but made up by lack of loading afterwards I suppose.
Just started, loving it so far. Prologue was ace and very sad.
Got to a place with these rolling exploding boar-things and was convinced that I could get them to jump to break a wall to progress because it seemingly glitched out and one made it once (maybe not a glitch?) but it seems there is a different way to go.Back to playing!

Decided to play a couple minutes before bed and wow, sure the game looked amazing in trailers but seeing it on a 50" screen still surprised me.
I'll second the suggestion for a UI toggle suggested earlier, not too bad as it is (already changed my dashboard wallpaper to a screen from the game) but it'd be nice to have.

Yeah, I haven't alt tabbed but whenever I press the Windows key the game freezes (I play on fullscreen).
The first time I hit it was an accident and it was during the little introduction cutscene so I figured it froze cause of all the stuff that was going on during the cutscene
I just did it again right after the game teaches you how to save cause I wanted to see if it'd freeze again
it froze again
don't touch the windows key brehs
also whenever the game freezes for me I can't do shit. like I can't just end the process through task manager, I literally have to restart my entire computer
other than that the game runs fine, 144fps and everything

It may not be an exact science but it works for ID@Xbox titles and seemingly Ori as well, for download titles release dates are listed for GMT, so its now the 11th of March (when its due to release) on GMT time and so at 12.01 the games get unlocked for everyone.
Retail titles vary per region but store only/download/ID@Xbox games all seem to work on GMT, remember that in future!
This is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played in my life. My only complaint so far was that it seemed to have too much input lag, but I realized that triple buffering wasn't triggering. It's a night and day different turning vsync off and then playing in windowed mode for the forced triple buffering. Jumping feels SOOO much better.
Guys, I'm a 360 turned PS4 owner who is dying to buy an Xbox and Ori's making it hard for me to resist the urge.
What are your thoughts on the following:
1) wait for a X1 slim, hopefully released at E3, and pick up Ori, MCC, FH2 and wait for F6, or
2) buy it now
Ideally, the X1 slim would fit in my ET unit as the current X1 is just way too big, hence my delay on the purchase side of things.

It's 1 game. Lots of other good games out there to play. I can't imagine ori is worth buying an expensive system for.
Hmm this a hot tip. So i assume the windowed borderless mode in all games always enables triple buffering and vsync? Seems to always been the case when ive played other games.
I don't think an Xbox slim is coming this year, it seems too early. If that's what you're waiting for I think it will be a year or two.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I definitely will! Downloading Ori today is something that I didn't think I would be doing lol

thomasmahler fooled us all.
This isn't a fucking game at all. It's a wallpaper/screenshot maker disguised as a game. We've been scammed.

The release of this snuck up on me. Can't wait to play it. Little scared of its difficulty though. I find difficult platformers tend to be off putting to me.

I did it too, but it's the second time the console fails to download what I purchase with smartglass.

just spent about an hour with the game. my PC just barely can run it and I'm scared of the escape sequences since they're setpiece-y. hopefully my PC can hang with it when I get that far.
so far it's really good. some of the wall jumping feels off to me, and Ori's momentum has caused me quite a few deaths. but it's really really good.

It's true. We've all been deceived.

Lovely game so far!
Any chance you guys could look into fully rebind-able keys for the PC version? I'd love to recommend this to all of my friends, but some of them are very particular about keybinds. (EDSF for movement, specifically)
Hmm, seems to be okay for me. I just have to alt+enter to go back to full screen.

So true. This game is like controlling a painting.

Joke. Trying to say how beautiful this game is. I took 12 screenshots before gameplay had even started.
Save yourself $400 and buy it on pc? If you have a pc

was hoping so lol.
That's pretty much it, windowed mode combined with forcing maximum performance seems to have lessened the frequency and severity of the hiccups I was experiencing. Thanks, everyone. It's definitely much better now.

I don't think they will release an XB1 slim this year, they just announced the MCC bundle which is $349, I would just get that if you want one, I'm not in the US but are Best Buy movers coupons a thing all year round? Can get 10% off the console if they are (Don't forget to buy Sunset Overdrive as well!)
(I thought you were a US guy but now I'm not so sure, disregard the 10% thing if you're not)

Away from my PC for the week, so I checked to see if it would run on my Macbook. It's runs, but stutters quite a bit so I'll just wait until I can get the full experience. Did decide play through the prologue. Both a mistake and a great decision. It's absolutely beautiful, and I cried like a bitch.

Played around 30 minutes earlier. Amazing and the music is absolutely stellar. Will sink more time in tomorrow.

Booted up the game.
Press A to start.
Crash.
Not the best start in the world.

Bought this on Steam but I think I'm gonna bring my PC downstairs and hook it up to try Big Picture for the first time for this game. Any tips to make sure it looks the best it can this way? Just HDMI out to my receiver and I should be good to go as if it was a console, right?
Sounds good, that's how I have mine set up.

That part about the difficulty is really off-putting.
I am not a fan of REALLY hard games.
Especially ones of this type that shouldn't be so grueling.
THERE BETTER BE AN EASY MODE!

This game looks amazing. I love the way the controls feel, everything works nicely IMO. The save system takes a second to get used to but they are pretty generous with giving you resources to save. Between this and Hotline Miami 2 I am very happy with March so far.
