Obviously... I'm sure they weren't sitting in a board room plotting to release a sub par experience.
It's what they could manage in the time available.

It would have been great had the development been able to progress a little further before release but it is what it is till the next update.

99 % of games have bad launches

If Microsoft threw alot of cash at them to get it running at a decent level on Xbox, it should've been done and the Devs are to blame.

Personally, I'm enjoying Fortnite much more!

Playstation fans gonna hold on to this one

For the studio it was amazing the were payed millions from microsoft to get the beta and the more money from player that got the game. Damn thats making money. In couple of months we all know where they gonna get more money!!!

Agreed, but it’s still the most fun I’ve had in a while and it will only get better. It is after all unfinished and it’s clearly spelled out that it is such - especially considering it’s in the “game preview” section. Also if you turn off game recording it runs better so clearly it’s just a matter of optimising and clean up. It also isn’t the most graceful on pc either fwiw. I’m sure it will be ironed out soon enough.

Most of the negative comments on this thread come from gamers who constantly down play Xbox One, hate Xbox games and don't own Xbox. Nothing new. It's part of the toxic community that plague this website. To those of you who have no interest in this toxic behavior. The game is fun, it has issues, it's a game preview title, that warns/notifies you once purchased. If you try it and don't like it return it. I invested hours since Tuesday and I can personally say it's a lot of fun.

How about should have launched with the console day one

Automatic:

Orr just maybe the game really is atrocious on xbox beta or da x... but couldnt possibly be that??

I'm guessing they just wanted to get it out for the holidays. Which I can definitely understand. They had a rough start but they will get it together.

I have all consoles not biased but my choice console is xbox. Playing pubg a lot and loving it! Winner winner chicken dinner

Its got some hiccups mainly framerate related but you know what? I have been able to get in a game every single time I have wanted(and not had it crash or boot me) to in the first week of launch...couldn't say that for *cough* *cough* COD

especially since they gave away free download codes in every XboxX. this is what happens when you jump the gun on exclusivity of a game thats been very popular on pc. they should have waited until next year.

Gamers amazes me. We complained about Battlefront having too few maps at launch.. but this is ok? Paying 30$ for a beta, full of bugs, glitches and performance issues? Just one map? Are people really praising that?

Everyone is completely missing the point of early access gaming on Xbox One. It has little to do with optimization and showcasing anything, it has most to do with giving interested players a chance at being involved in the development of a game at very early initiation in the cycle of it. And then being a part of the community that brings that game to fruition.

Early access is for real gamers (yes I used that term) that want to do more than just play the next finished game off the assembly line. Not saying that enjoying games that are finished makes you lesser of a gamer but that enjoying the involvement of a game at development stages gives you that extra worth.

Everyone that has always claimed they would want to be a tester just so they could get at a game early. Guess what... you basically get that option now.

Instead of forking over money to Devs via a Kickstarter program where you get maybe bobbles in return, you actually get to play the game as it is being worked on still.

The Taliban is so violent, dogmatic, bigoted, and sexist that it shouldn’t exist.

The Taliban, of all people.............

Is it April ?

It should be ban because it’s old and boring

lol

Really keeping the priorities straight with 3/4 of your country starving.

talk about having a serious lack of self awareness.

Irony = 100

As the Taliban decapitates people in the streets for crimes they can't even prove they've committed.

LMAO! The irony..the hypocrisy...the pot calling the kettle black.

Shooting at women who want to go to school is not violent according to those delusional fools

Shooting at people in video games will stop you from shooting at real people in real life. I can see the logic there.

I had to read the article first to make sure this isn't from Hard Drive.

OT

This is what happens when a government gets involved with entertainment.

Clown World 2022

I never knew the Taliban were comedians

i can see everyone in comments here brainwashed by western media....oh well

Violence should be on the streets and not in games :D

Well, better to just smoke some Opium and stare at some dirt and bushes instead. Remember it was the Russians that destroyed and left Afghanistan the way it is today.

Wow, that's rich coming from them. How ironic.

Lmao I will never understand why real life people stress over virtual worlds, like one of our favorite characters can come through the screen or some smdh I’m starting to think a lot of more people are mentally challenged 😂

Over there the Taliban actually think other people are too weak to resist the temptations of violent video games and when played they are taking the risk to act upon those impulses, therefore they must ban the content throughout the country wtf? In a lot of these games, the violence involves killing islamic guerilla fighters, so it's a huge blow to their ego when they see how easily they get mowed down in a firefight and how pathetically bad their aim is.

And in an unexpected plot twist...

Wait till they see GTA😂

causes the young generation to go astray”, then maybe they should keep the girls having a good education.
