The switch ownz tho

I have three bones, two PS4's and a switch.....the bones get the most love and the switch sits there mocking my giant hands. My 13 year old daughter seems to enjoy it for about 1.5 hours per week.

My PS4's are mostly just vue front ends because Horizon mocks me with its difficulty :cry:

The entire Switch library can be beaten in 3 hours.

Which is good because that means you'll only need to charge it twice.

The game was loving my poo poo up as well, for the first 10 hours or so. Then I learned these tips:

Abuse the poo poo out of stealth (get the upgrades for it)

Don't be afraid to run away.

Get the slow-mo upgrades.

Set traps. Seriously, the tripwires are god drat game changers.

It may seem like the combat is shallow but it is not. Set traps, abuse stealth, spam them with slow-mo (along with the notching two arrows), and roll roll roll.

The game became immensely more enjoyable after that.

Re: This doritos xbone auction thing. Not that I want to do it, but how does it work? How many "bids" do you get per bag? Because I'm looking at this auction for an xbonx plus 12 months of game pass, and the high bid is 32,000. I know this person didn't buy 32,000 bags of doritos.

Edit: I dug further into the site. 9.75 oz bags of doritos give 200 points. In order to get 30,000 points, I would need to buy 150 bags of doritos. According to Walmart.com, the instore price for a bag of doritos is $2.98. So I would have to spend 447 dollars on Doritos to bid for an xbonx. No thanks.

You get more than that from bags, with the Roulette bags giving a lot (like 400-600 per bag with some double code possibilities) but people know this so they're hard to find. Ethan got like 37600 points or some such from his 54-bag haul.

The roulette bags he bought gave a 2x-5x multiplier.

That's why he drove an hour, to find one with specifically a lot of those kind.

Yeah, I got mine with about 60 bags of Doritos roulette, or $180-190.

High res packs are entirely optional, DLC like content on PC. Xbone should treat it the same till the textures are on disk.

I just bought one of these and I have absolutely no idea why. I have the "Elite" Xbone already with the hybrid SSD drive so I probably load faster than the Scorpio anyway.

Spain will do. We'll start bombing catalonia, but miss and hit Andorra, some french will get pissed and destroy a few spanish fruit trucks that had Germany as destination. Germans get pissed and invade UK and so...

Anyways, on a more serious thing, the Xbox One can do a thing that the PS4 can't: use a Lamborghini as gamepad to play Forza (ps4 users can't because GT is a joke).

Load faster should be across-the-board, playing at higher frame rates is a bit more varied in the case of unenhanced games, usually it means games will hit the target framerate more. In other words, a game that, on a normal Xbox One, is 30fps with dips into the 20's, will dip less often but still won't go past 30.

Thanks, was hoping the frame rate caps would be taken away natively but I understand they want to leave that up to the developer. How does everyone like their X so far? I want one to compliment my C6 but idk if I can really justify it over the One S I already have.

My current understanding is that 60FPS is still hard to hit with the XboneX because the CPUs are still slow, but you've got a ton of GPU power to play with to head for 4K resolution.

For games without 4K extra assets, correct, this will just work.

For games which do have 4K assets these are force-downloaded on an XB1X (e.g. there's a 94 gig extra download for Quantum Break). You can, however, elect to optionally download these on a regular XB1 to prep the drive beforehand.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

So people that had a One S on a 4K tv and switched to the one X, how much of a difference are you noticing in games and Netflix, etc. I am currently playing BF1, Wolfenstein, and will probably get COD WW2 and battlefront 2 to play on it. How do the graphics change on these with the console upgrade?

There are a ton of yt channels that will compare footage, too, just search "gamename xb1x systemtocompareto comparison". iffy bitrate but a lot of vids are 4k and it gives you some reference.

df has higher quality encodes on their site but you gotta pay $5/month patreon style.
