some times I miss dragons dogma, a game where your henchman learned by watching you and you could invite your friends henchmen into your game as well



if you played too much then your henchmen got too good at the game

how's the xbone s? I really want to watch Planet Earth 2 in 4k. If I want 4k blu-ray might as well get one, maybe play some exclusives? :shrug: Lame the ps4 pro doesn't have 4k blu-ray. Kind of want to wait for a scorpio but I don't even think that has a release date.

xbone s is surprisingly good, it's still gonna upscale your games to 4k but eh, until the scorpio comes around native 4k games on tv are solely the realm of the pc you hauled into the living room.

They got rid of that kinect trash btw.

If you don't have an xbone and aren't planning on running out and buying a scorpio its a solid buy. Especially since it's cheaper than a 4k bluray player by itself and they tacked a gamebox on there somehow.

No. The games are upscaled from 1080p to 4k, the Blu-ray is native 4k. You need to spend the money on the 4k Ultra Blu-rays though to get native 4k. Everything that isn't a Ultra Blu-ray gets upscaled.

Don't get me wrong even the upscaled 1080p60 looks sharp, because the original XBone just ran everything as upscaled 720p30 to 1080p30, and the PS4 did games in 1080p but none of them ran at actual 60fps.

Its always been bad since it is a moba style game.

You got a base, two lanes, and a center point that activates every so often. The lane system isn't that bad though.

The big change they did was to change the size of the lanes. They made them less wide and longer. This is what people are complaining about. They reversed that though.

They added in another non lane version with sudden death as well.

The big problem with the game is that they let you face the AI so the pvp matches take awhile to que up. Their solution to this is PVP with AI on each side if matches take too long and that will be added in a future patch.

And now for something completely different

quote:

Netflix will develop and produce a new show based on The Witcher Saga, the series of eight novels by Andrzej Sapkowski that inspired the hugely popular CD Projekt Red RPG games.

Sapkowski - who does not profit from the game series - will serve as a creative consultant on the series. “I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories," he explained in a press release, "staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over thirty years writing."

Tomas Baginski - who directed the intro videos for all three Witcher games, as well as the Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer - will direct at least one episode per season.

I bought one. The 4k is nice, and Planet Earth 2 looks amazing. The HDR stuff is really hard to explain to people, but is super noticeable when it isn't there. Just saying "there are more colors" doesn't really work for a lot of people. I was upgrading from a launch Xbox One, though, so between the bigger hard drive, 4k Blu-ray and HDR, and only being out maybe $80 after selling the old one, that justified it for me.

By the way, you guys weren't kidding when you said that Prey was well optimized. I mean I had to drop to 900p & textures to medium, but other options are at high at it's running smooth as butter.

What a rad game.

Me and Pesticide checked it out in the beta and it just felt like a meh game. The execution felt really bad. The flying is super clunky and doesn't feel natural. The idea is pretty awesome but it just felt like they had no idea how to pull it off.

Edit. Sorry meant to say we checked it out in the alpha.

Seems I can snag one used for just north of $200. Are purchased Xbox live store games from my 360 backwards compatible?

Does the bone even have any good exclusives? Maybe Halo or Gears i guess?

Yes, if they're on the backwards compatibility list. They're adding a few every week or so, and there's a pretty good number now. Forza is pretty much the only racing game in town on console, and that's XBox only. Halo 5 added firefight a bit ago. Rare Replay is a good set of everything they've ever made except for Goldeneye and the Donkey Kong games. I liked the campaign in Gears 4, but I didn't play the multiplayer. But, yeah, there aren't a ton of exclusives.
