Got my Sunset Overdrive white Xbox. Hi!

Just got passed the first few missions and I'm wondering where I get to change my wardrobe now.
Do I have to find my old apartment? It's not any item on the map.

Also, is the only way to quit the game to go right out to the dashboard?

Anyone gonna make a topic for the game?

Yeah, going to the dashboard seems to be the way to quit. There's a clothing merchant in the Oxford base, pretty sure you can change clothes there.

CAN CONFIRM.


Xbox live has it's blips, 15 minutes to half an hour where you can't play online or access your friends list. The beauty is this website tells you exactly whats up and what's down http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-live-status (everything is up right now), and if there's a problem MS let people know when it's going to be fixed. I don't recall any recent large scale continuous down times. Alternatively, Sony seem to take the "keep your fuckin' ugly mout shut" style of PR. The PSN Omerta. That's why the PS4 thread is made up of 50% "IS PSN DOWN AGAIN?" posts.

Another example, a month after the planned release date of the free version of Driveclub (which was originally promised to alleviate the anger generated by a full loving year delay on the piece of poo poo game) there's still no word on a new release date from the publishers Sony. That's loving embarrassing, and receiving the mocking it fully deserves. http://kotaku.com/three-weeks-later-driveclub-still-doesnt-work-properly-1651731762

Gamers in glass houses and all that. :shrug:

I'm happy you bought a PS4 and I've got no problem with your extremely poor attempts at mocking the mighty bone, but it'd be unfair for me to not tell you how you're appearing. Your the drunk homeless guy with the really loving ugly pregnant crackhead girlfriend, getting in passing commuters faces - telling them their beautiful wives aren't all that great.

There's already a topic, not sure how active it is though!

I quit games by pressing the xbox button (I don't know the proper name, that one in the middle) that takes you to dash and the cursor should still be on the game window. Then just press start and quit will be at the bottom. You should just leave it running though because the suspend resume feature means you can jump back in to that point when you return.

Hey Crafty, have you heard the ps4 now has problems coming out of "rest" mode? Just more fuel so you can change it up from driveclub stuff since all racing games are boring anyways.

lol xbl has been down far more than psn since the xbone and ps4 came out, the knock on effect of which has been it impacting other azure hosted services

also y'all should know really that the 360 when it was first out had quite a few problems, but because it played multi plats better and was cheaper initially it managed to grab a high install base and carry that through for a few years

of course they then started shutting down their first/second party studios and had the RROD which played into the ps3s strengths of having better hardware knowledge and a poo poo ton of exclusive titles and studios. ps3 having at least parity in raw power and their thirty party issues being down to difficulty of the platform also helped a lot, which is something the bone can't ever lean on :(

This doesn't work for SO. I actually have to quit out to the dash to kill then restart the game because the controller inputs don't work on resume.

3) Its cheaper than the ps4 in most countries now which is cool
4) this was changed before it even launched????

What they've "killed" are 1) Kinect, 2) XBL paywall, 3) $100 higher price than competition, 4) DRM.

Their strategic plan for the Xbox One has completely fallen apart and been remade on the fly (into something arguably worse) in the span of 11 months. That's called "loving up," not "killing it."

You can change your wardrobe at any clothing vendor - clothing vendor unlocks when you get to the Chuck E. Cheese place where the Oxford kids are hanging out.

There's a thread made but it's already been poo poo up and I think making a newer one is just going to goad them into making GBS threads on it again.

So I want to get an xbox but I'm having trouble deciding which bundle I want to get. While I want the sunset bundle I feel like that hard drive space will go pretty quickly. Alternatively I could go for the cod bundle which has extra hard drive space but is much more expensive. I know I could get an external hard drive for the sunset bundle but less convenient. What do you guys think would be the better bundle to get.

It is incredibly subjective. Note that the 500 gig Xbox has about 362 gigs of usable space due to the way things are partitioned so the 1 tera might actually give you more than double the usable space, since the 500 gig can be as few as 6 or 7 games if you get the "right" titles (ones which are pushing 50+ gigs). Assuming the partitions stay the same in terms of absolute size you're looking at closer to a minimum of 17 games on the stock 1TB drive. That said, bear in mind the 500 gig increase is a $100 difference which is kind of absurd for that amount of space in a 5400 RPM drive, you can get an external 2TB for less than that.

Id go for the bigger harddrive. Games are unoptimized for space ike crazy right now and you'll probably end up wanting it. Assuming you want COD of course.

I saw the cod console in person today, it looked a lot better than I expected. Personally I'd go sunset then buy a 3 tb drive when the next sale comes up. But then I'm not into cod and I really want the white one :shrug:
