You going to get this on console?

[Raelic]

Terraria kind of burned me. Plus no mods... I don't plan on it. It could be good for people without PCs to game on though, but man playing this with a controller, I would not look forward to.

I don't have a console, so I'm probably going to pass.

mods aren't a hard no; they are allowed for some games. there are limitations, i think scripting isn't allowed, but i'm not certain that is true.

either way, i'll agree on the controller issue.

nope. pc master race.

[Jigain]

Without mod support and with achievements, I'm going to pass. The PC version has all I want.

The majority of mods use actual code, and of those a large portion if not the majority use Harmony to basically modify the game's code on top of adding their own code, which I can't imagine not being restricted on such anti-freedom platforms as consoles.

I've only ever played vanilla Rimworld, so mods are not so important for me. I'd be tempted to buy for console, although I guess my only motivation would be so I could complete as many achievements as possible through Xbox, While this would give me mini goals in-game, I don't quite see, what is likely to be a £40+ spend, justified, in order to get an achievement list. Think I'd rather keep the money and possibly wait for decent DLC (if any) to come along.

Also games tend to be made with an eye on next generation. I have an Xbox One and have largely given up buying games for it. This game strikes me as the sort of that will be fine to play initially, but too many pawns in-game and the base console may go into meltdown. With that concern, I'm probably not going to buy.

Well, I like Terraria on console. I don't use any mods and just enjoy the fairly relaxing play. (Kinda relaxing, at least.)

But, I won't get Rimworld on console, either. It's too much a "PC" game for me. I enjoy console play for more action-oriented play and play where I have direct control over the main game elements, like a "character" in an ARPG.

Rimworld's menu system just seems too clunky to me for a standard console environment.

Note: Ludeon could certainly opt-in to support mouse&keyboard on applicable console platforms, though. Even so... nah - I'll stick to PC Rimworld

Yeah, I'd assume they would try to support modding at least to some point but I'm sure it wouldn't be anywhere near like on PC.

I've never seen a game with player mods on games for PS5.

Farm sim does but they are submitted to the dev for approval and to be pushed out. I don't believe the dev does any modifications, just function checks.

On Xbox, AFAIK, you can still associate your account with a registered Bethesda account and use the most hosted there. "I think" I don't know for sure and haven't tried. (I only mod the PC version)

PS: No, it only speaks to the XBox (One). But, there may be some allowances on the PS. I have a PS 4 but don't use it anymore. Xbox is basically made to be Windows compatible, so it may be easier (or at least more opportunity) there to mod than a PS.

[Stormsong]

Nope.

[crecy]

no why would I I already have it on pc which is better because mods.

[Tempest Fox3]

I have no reason to, I already own it on PC and its not like the console version will be any different.

The UI will probably be more annoying and there's no sign mods will be available.
