Um, I don't play on console but I don't know anyone that even wants a second go at this game.

Couldn't redeem the code.

You know what, I played a ton of this on release and everything else. It was a decent game, but really has its issues. I said from day 1 it would be a great console game. So, F it, I'll try it.

Good luck. I see they have given away about 100 keys so far. Usually beta keys fly out of here. I think many have a very bitter taste when it comes to this game.

I played this on PC wtf would I want to play it on console?

It's not like they fixed any of the reasons why most people have stopped playing does it...

Checked out the console version, so far alot of changes and some things I was annoyed with are so much better. So far enjoying. Get to even try a max level character later this week compliments of new world. To try end game content.

Plays really well on Xbox Series X. The controls work better on controller than I thought they would. 
I also like that you can run it on performance mode or quality mode. 
Well done port.
I will be preorder for Xbox (closer to the Oct launch)
 I enjoy it on PC and on such a large screen in my home with surround sound it is glorious and perhaps the best way to play it.

Because I like playing on my console more. The experience and vibe is different from a PC and much more enjoyable to me. I also don't have to screw around with getting hardware to work or driver updates on the console unlike the PC.

Because I work on a PC all day and have for a long time now. The last thing I want to see is more PC desktop when I'm done for the day. PC offers more distractions with a lot of non-gaming noise that pushes for attention while I'm trying to play.

Because my aging 1660ti is starting to struggle and a worthwhile graphics card upgrade is still more expensive than an entire console. That's just for the card, and doesn't include the cost of a PSU replacement to go with it.

Those are a few of the core reasons I'm choosing to play on console again over PC. I just like it better.

There are reasons not to get the game too. I already own it on Steam. I dislike their double-talk about valuing the RPG aspect of character building, which they used as reasoning behind some key design decisions, only to later on be willing to throw that out the window with recouping names. On top of that, the end game is still hardcore zones with themepark dungeons, and raiding.

With all that in mind, I'll wait to see how it looks after it releases on Xbox and take it from there. Preordering games really isn't in my best interest, so I'm not doing that and there are several other games releasing this year that I'm interested in. I hope that sheds some light on your question.
