Doritos buyers: type in your receipt into Walmart savings catcher (google it) to pricematch ur Walmart roulette bags to target $2 regular Doritos. I just got $53 back. Drops my all in bonx price to $110. It took about 12 hours for them to process and I hear the target Doritos deal ends tomorrow so do it now. Your receipt must be less than seven days old

Well it didn't exactly say "mostly", the video said the resolution fluctuates pretty wildly but still always stays well above the PS4 Pro's max resolution of 1440p (Bonx's minimum is 2944 x 1656). That's not bad at all.

Better texture filtering, more details. This is a great example of the power gulf between the PS4 Pro and XOX.

drat, that Wolfenstein clip is really good. I am nearly done with the campaign on the S and the graphics are great, but that’s a huge difference.

It fluctuates during demanding scenes but is otherwise 4k.

Of course since resolution doesn't matter, that video doesn't exist.

What are some good older Xbox One exclusives? I finally bought one, mostly for Madden and FIFA but I'd like to play some other quality games too. I have a gaming PC so things on PC I've probably already played or decided not to.

Rare replay is the only true exclusive on xbox worth the money with no caveats

Sunset overdrive is pretty mediocre and halo 5 is halo for whoever still cares

Everything else is not worth it or available elsewhere

If you have an unhealthy passion for Panzer Dragoon and cant wait for Orta to be bc, crimson dragon exists.

Gears of war 4 aint bad and has some much appreciated updates to the formula even if they arent consitently present.

Ryse is great if you get it free.

That's an issue with cod in general. It's making GBS threads itself on ps4 and pc too. Something about dedicated servers ain't working.

Is this happening during or after setup? Because it might be something messing up during the update.

If it's happening after maybe you can try updating it offline if you reset?

It's a progression actually. The first one worked just fine for about a day. Then it froze up. After a hard reboot it came back up with error e202. Couldn't move the icon to do a reset at that point so did the full power off download to a USB offline reset thing. That got it going again for half a day or so before it black screened and wouldn't power back up.

Leaving it unplugged for awhile got me back to the error e202 at which point I reset it to factory and returned it.

Second one was pretty much the same just different order of events. Started with black screen, didn't have problems resetting to factory the normal way, but otherwise the same.

Basically they work for awhile before encountering some kind of bad update or something and failing short of a factory reset.

Store didn't have any more so just going to go back to my regular xbone and maybe try again in a few months.

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

I’m getting a boneX tomorrow. I’ll finish out the rest of Wolfenstein on it and was thinking of getting COD WW2 or battlefront 2 for the effects and campaigns. What games are you guys playing that are legit good on the new console? I’m not a racing fan but I’d give the Forza a go with my kids if it is fun enough.

I dont own 3 but forza horizon 2 is a blast. it's more of an open-road racer with points for driving through the fence or vaulting the other cars like you're in dukes of hazzard

If you want the fun kinda-real but not hardcore sim racer then get Horizon 3 with the Hot Wheels and Snow Mountain expansions. If you want ridiculous then one of the free XBL games this month is Trackmania, the 10 minutes I've played of that were fun.

For some reason my RS Siege ping is twice as good on xbox than it is on ps4/pc, like consistently between 25-35. I am fuckin massacring xboners after playing on PC with a controller like an idiot.

I'd normally credit that to being low level but the xbox version is way less populated so I'm up against level 100s while I'm single digits.

Horizon 3 is good, but just be aware that the X-enhanced patch won't be out until January.

I've been replaying Rise of the Tomb Raider, and it's very nice on the Bonx. Three enhancement options: Enriched visuals (not quite 4K but everything looks better), 1080p @ 60fps and Native 4K (this one's bad and pointless). Also, no more input lag.
