Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Preload is up (10.05gb on Xbox) and Achievement list revealed
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Oddly I checked this out last night and it was only 5 gigs. I bet it's as beautiful graphically and soundtrack wise as the first.
Super excited, originally planned on playing on Xbox game pass but I just had to support Microsoft with this game specifically and buy it right away on steam. Usually I wait for games to go on deep sale if I have it gamepass before buying it but couldn't do that here.
Thanks for the clarification, very appreciated!
That does remind me of Tomas talking about optimization last year when I asked about the Switch version.
I like that one! Wasn't the OT for the original called "Mourning Wood"? Yours would be much more innocent lol
Hollow Knight is much harder and longer than the original Ori it has a similar achievement. I will never attempt it lol.
Oh well that's good,hopefully its a better mode then the one they added to Blind Forest because it really didnt help me lol... ;)
Yeah, I think I'll just stick with that as-is. With so much media coming out for the game and folk getting early copies I'll probably post the thread on Sunday.
Really need to step up to a 1440P monitor for this game. It should look amazing on my rig. So happy this is coming to Games Pass.
That Hollow Knight achievement is easily cheesable, but even legit it's pretty doable. There's other way harder achievements in that lol.
The one in Ori was also cheesable (before the Definitive Edition changed it) by just copying your save to another save slot and loading from the previous save slot if you did die.
I agree in general though that type of achievement is annoying in anything that isnt purely an arcade game. There's always way too much downtime / time lost if you mess it up.
Depends on the game, some are set to different times per platform. Worked in the past for me, but not for Outer Worlds for instance.
thankfully nz is my actual region so despite games generally costing more here at least they release first
This first game is really small. Like 4GB.
EDIT: okay installed on my PC it's 9.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Horn Beetle Boss Fight (Kwolok's Hollow, Guardian of the Marsh)
SIMPLE, EASY TO FOLLOW GUIDE/SOLUTION! Stuck? I got you! Thanks to Xbox for providing me with a review copy of the game!

I love challenges but I don't want this to be something I am "crawling" through dying a bunch of times to get through each part. Is hard a good challenge that still flows well.
Depends on your playstyle, really. I just had a good friend of mine complete the game on Hard Mode and telling me that he wished that was default (keep in mind that he's been playing the game for years...), but I think Hard Mode is very, very brutally difficult and people should play Normal Mode for their first playthrough. You take double the damage, Spirit Light costs are 50% more expensive, Escape Sequences are 25% tougher... Ori isn't the kinda game where Hard Mode is really what most gamers should play -> Normal Mode is!
What you describe is exactly what the normal mode in Ori 1 is to me, lol.
Great to hear early impressions are strong but I'm ducking out now, don't want to hear or see any more. It's pre-loaded on my Xbox and ready for Wednesday. It feels like 2020 in gaming starts with this.
There is no unpacking on Win Store.
As soon as the game is live you can just press play and you're in.

Difficult to say nowadays. Both both versions are 60fps. And X is 4k and S is 1080p.
I have experienced 0 crashes total in my 10 hours or so of gameplay. Xbox one x though.

PC Pre-load is available!
I think it became available same time as Xbox because I installed it last night.
Do I play this on my 144hz monitor or through my 4K TV at 60fps? Decisions decisions.
Personally, I had the same choice and went with 4k hdr. This game is just so beautiful.
What difficulty are you playing on? They added checkpoints in the definitive edition for easy (and maybe normal too, I'm not sure)
