Ori and the Will of the Wisps |OT| Give It Your Owl [Now Updated for Series S|X!]
- Thread starter Dancrane212
- Start date
I played 2 hours on Xbox One X last night and it was fun.
-Graphics are great but the first game was stunning too so it's not a huge leap but still great.
-Music is A+++ and sets the tone perfectly
-I am playing on Normal (And I am not great at games I admit) and it is NOT easy for me! The combat is tricky and some of the platforming is just hard for me. But it's doable I think so I will keep it on Normal
-There is some stuttering and brief pausing especially when moving to a new screen like dropping down to a new area or running into one of those big trees. Also, the frame drops are quite noticeable and while not constant, are enough that it's definitely marring an otherwise great game.
I have one question:
What upgrades or new abilities should I get first???
I bought the thing that says it sets enemies on fire and honestly it has been very underwhelming.
Since stuff is fairly expensive, I really want to get the most helpful abilities early on, but with only a sentence description for each, it's hard to know what's actually good vs. less effective.
Overall I am loving the game. My only real issues are that I suck at games (lol) and performance issues. I really hope Moon Studios patch in an option to get a locked 60fps on Xbox One X no matter the cost (dynamic resolution seems like a good method to me). Either that or give us a locked 30 option. I'd rather have that than stuttering and fluctuation FPS !

I installed the game onto the internal HDD. Just fired it up for the first time today and as soon as you get to walk around I notice that this isn't 60fps by any means, I notice slowdown immediately and even screen tearing.
I'm gonna reinstall it just to be sure and also do a hard reset/reboot because I haven't done that in a while. It's been using instant on for a while now.

Slowly downloading the patch now. I did a combat shrine last night where I returned to a, uh, moment in the game where Ori gets...sad? He moves slowly, and you can't use the full suit of his abilities. I can't jump back to warp area--Ori literally gets sad and drops like a rock when I enter a certain part of the map--and now I probably need to roll back a save? Hoping it's fixed. Messy, beautiful game.
Yeah? I just picked one (Luma) and went for it. I'm at the boss so it seems to have worked out. Is that the expected first one?
I don't think so... I picked the ice area first and was making progress there before I started the update... Would suck if I suddenly needed an upgrade I didn't have before.
Hmm thats the 2nd one i went to. And i couldnt progress deep without an upgrade from one the other 3
Yes sir!
After uninstall/ and install again, and a hard reboot it's perfectly fine in terms of performance. Seems that either the reinstall did the trick or it was me having used instant on for a while and not having done a full reboot for a long time.
Also..
Dpad works for controlling.

Did you have an update to download? If so, when did it come out? Did you take other steps to make it flawless? I've heard VERY mixed reviews about performance on the OG XBox One.
regarding the framerate on xb1x
RESTART YOUR CONSOLE
it pretty much fixes all issues with the framerate.. never seen this on a console game before
went from stuttering 30-40fps toa mostly locked 60fps... the difference is night and day
Looks like I'm still screwed. Am I missing something here? I recorded a clip:

To be clear: when I jump across, I cannot move. Ori is stuck like a stone against the spikes. I can't find another way to leave the area. (If you go left, he's also perpetually stuck in sad mode.)

This game is so good I want to cry....
I've done 2 trials so far and I've gotten to rank ~500 and ~650 on them respectively totally legit. But I can't seem to improve beyond that.
It's so easy to cheat on PC... yeah.

Blown away by the sheer love and effort that has been poured into this game, many congratulations to the team, and a hell of way to lead into next gen :)
Just spent my first 1.5 hours with the game: really, really amazing! As expected, really..! Everything I love from Ori 1, espacially the platforming, + an even more beautiful and varried world, amazing upgrades in combat and an even more epic soundtrack. Just amazing all together!!
A funny thing: recently I was thinking how Ori 1 somehow reminded me of the lion king game, however it doesn't have anything in common. So I don't know where that feeling came from.. Now enter Ori 2, the Howls Den.. wtf??! That actually looks like the elephant graveyard level of the lion king :D! Or am I getting totally crazy, you guys??

You have triple jump + dash, right? Try to get closes as possible to that float monster, and use your Grappling ability
Any input on dpad with this game? I didn't play much of the first but heard that after a certain point the Bash ability made dpad use a bit awkward compared to analog stick. So I'm trying to go analog stick but so far dpad is just so much more ingrained in my head for 2d games that I'm hesitating. Any thoughts? Are the differences legit and enough to push through without using the dpad?
I got an upgrade from another area that made that fight waaaay easier.
But yeah you can use the bow and get some hammer hits in if you can

go back in and the wheel in the top right of the room is hollow, right? in the top left of the wheel there's an opening, go through it and the needle for the compass is right there
1080 vanilla and a 7700k are both around 30% during early game combat for me at 4K60 no hdr
The moment you cross that little gap, you cannot do any moves anymore. I'll have to see if I can get the grapple icon to float in time...
UPDATE: That didn't work but I was able to kinda cheat my way up the righthand side. Phew.

Playing the PC Game Pass version on Ryzen 7 2700x / Titan X (Pascal) / 16 GB RAM @ 1440p and performance has been great so far. Hovers around 130-144 fps, thinking about locking it to 120 ti keep it stable. Using the day 1 patch.
Only... I encountered a game breaking bug :(
Right before getting the first ability (Spirit Edge), I sort of clipped through the world. I was approaching the glowing tree, when Ori fell through the floor and a couple of screens scrolled past. I ended up a ways back from the tree, up on the edge before jumping down, and the game gave me a prompt about how to use the ability before suddenly showing a cut scene of Gumo and Naru looking for Ori. After the cut scene ends, the prompt shows up again but nothing happens when I press LT. I have tried reloading the save and rebooting the game, but I still cannot activate the ability. I'm basically stuck at this:
Oh god, I didn't realize the game kept a bunch of saves. I could roll back to any earlier save and got past the sequence without issues. Wish the fact that there are several autosaves was somewhat more clear though.
I'm loving the game though. Absolutely blown away by the visuals and the controls are such a delight.
If this don't work out, you can also fast travel to a nearby Save Point / Well .
I preloaded the game, then set my location to new Zealand so I could play it early in the states. This required me doing a system reboot.
I don't think I had the latest patch when I first played, but I didn't make it very far before going to bed.
I'm not exactly sure when the final patch downloaded, But I played it last night and today when I got off of work and have had no real issues. There's the occasional slowdown when it's saving or right before a cutscene but I haven't had it every occur in action.
Welp, just tried. Doesn't look like it's patched. Got greeted by loud buzzing in the menu... :/
Goddamnit! That moki sidequest where
It fucking destroyed me.
you have to go to his house in Silent Woods and tell his family he found a new home. When I went there I figured out what I was going to find. But the most brutal and tragic is when you go back there after completing the sidequest...
It fucking destroyed me.

w10 version just wouldnt patch, i didnt actually experience the game at all as i wanted to wait for the patch

About 2 hours longer for me (8 hours opposed to 6 on Ori 1).
Really enjoyed the revamped combat and the ending made me cry, technically there's still a lot to be done if Moon Studios is aiming for consistent 60 FPS. The game also crashed twice and froze for 1-20s multiple times.
Still, what a ride! Absolutely worth it, and one of the best non-Nintendo platformers ever.
