I am not asking for ports. I'm pointing out a contradiction that was in TC's logic.

The correct logic would be to put it on more platforms. Is the TC trying to save D4 or is he trying to sell more X1s?
Sometimes porting isn't an option (see: Bayonetta 2). This is likely one of those times.
And before you respond with "then he should never have signed with MS in the first place", it may have been the only way for the game to exist at all.

Port begging is not cool, man. Not cool
Especially for projects like this that would almost assuredly never exist without some platform holders funding

I don't know what you're trying to get at, but OP's goal was to make Xbox One owners aware of the game since it sold badly and Microsoft did next to nothing to promote it. Don't know what is wrong with doing so if one likes the game. I know I'd do it for games I like.
(Next to) no one is going to buy an Xbox One for this game alone anyway.
Everyone should go iOS.
I think you mean Android.
Tell that to Bioshock.
That's not logical at all. If it sells bad on one platform it most likely will sell bad on every platform. Only with additional cost for development of said platforms. The only logical solution is to finance a second chapter and give out the first for free like they shouldve done from the start. Niche games like this need demos.

I would but I got suspend for it.
Don't go in expecting Telltales. It's actually controls better than those games for one.

D4 has the first spot in the "Games" page in the Xbox One Store.
It's a start.

We'll find D eventually!

I don't think it will. I don't want to be a pessimist, but it's obvious MS doesn't give a shit about the game. Phil Spencer's tweet seems pretty dishonest at this point.

How well is this game doing now? Well, well isn't a good way of putting it. How is this game doing now?

Swery recently said it still isn't selling enough.

After all the "not selling" stuff happening I'm honestly pretty worried. I really hope Swery realises the fanbase that he has.

Be strong SWERY, if this game comes to PC. I would buy it with warts(bugs) and all(shitty M+KB controls, etc). Though the future still looks bleak...

OK, I really hate the music in this game. It just doesn't fit the atmosphere or style of the game and it takes me out of it. I'm mainly talking about the soft piano/violin parts, its just so out of place with the goofiness of the game that it really annoys me.
Skirting around a port beg?

Yes but that track actually fits the game. The track that annoyed me was this one
I don't know why but something just felt off or wrong about it that really bugged me.

I managed to find xbox uk tweeted an image of all the xbox one exclusives and biggest blockbusters.

Seriously, where the fuck is D4?
That image says it all.

It's dumb not to include D4 in that image. Even if it was bad [which I in no think it is] it would pad the list and suggest diversity.

Maybe someone can shop this...
Into the blank space and we can tweet it back to xbox and xbox uk saying you forgot the BEST exclusive.

Yeah, I loved it but it definitely isn't for everyone. Giving the prologue as a free download would help.It looks like it is getting some love.
I am on the fence with it, looks almost too quirky for me.
yeah, the tile and "box art" are both terrible
btw, can anyone tell me how you get the hockey outfit?
Family Fry
Member
Did someone say hockey?
I got it after I finished episode 2.
Yeah it's a bit plain, they have some great artwork for the game as well.
Everytime I see that image on the title screen, I fail to see the point in it. It just seems disjointed and out of place from everything else in the game.

To be fair, I believe that list is only intended to highlight 2014 exclusive titles where CD was launched in 2013

Didn't MS put a new trailer for D4? At least they're trying.

bayonetta 2 had no choice but to go with Nintendo, and they were fully funded. (No danger of the game dying)
D4 is not fully funded by MS and i bet they had other choices, they just chose an option what wasn't very smart, imo

Source?
I'm more interested in all the other choices they stupidly turned down.

What is your source for all this?
I don't believe you.
