Fyi moving my boneX out of the tv console fixed all my controller disconnects. I mean it was on an open empty shelf with 6 inches of space in any direction and line of sight to the controllers. And still didn't work. Even sitting right next to it. But moving it out fixed everything. Jesus that is some shittily weak connection.

So I have a Budget in place for picking up a Xbox One X in the next couple of weeks but im seriously having a headache here.

Theres like 9 editions of the Xbox One X at different retailers, at a gamut of both prices, shakey retailer mixups, and like with games that I honestly don't know anything about.

Having played nothing but FFXIV, Warframe, Black Desert and like indie garbage like Killing Floor 2 for the last 5 years i dont know jack about AAA gaming. I just know i wanna play every version of PSO 2 in english, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts in X Enhanced, and like if i can get something cool out of it then sure.

Anyone have a recommended bundle at a good price with a game thats not rip my brain out with an ice pick battle royale garbage? Or is that all these games are?

I'm Australian so can't really point to specific bundles for you, but I see lots of bundles with Red Dead Redemption 2 or the two most recent Assassin's Creeds Origins and Odyssey. They're all pretty great AAA games that aren't "battle royal poo poo". RDR2 has multiplayer but it's completely extraneous to the giant and good single player.

Bundles aren't too important though, the Bone has a thing called Game Pass which is like old good netflix but for games, just sub to that when you want to try new and random poo poo and you'll be fine.

It also includes Black Desert and all the Rare stuff so that works out extra good for you. Other stuff on there I'd vouch for is MGSV, Prey, Outer Wilds, DOOM 2016 and Wolfenstein 1 and 2.

Yea I'm actually in on the bone cause of their pc game pass its what drew me in. Unfortunately i haven't seen a red dead redemption or assassin's creed bundle in my shopping. At least not on Amazon? Im in us. So that might be a factor on what's available.

Edit: i should be specific that I'm only looking at x models no Xbox s models

if unbundled is in any way cheaper just get that because RDR2 and AC:O are at the point when discounts are -50% off or lower

If you like shooters, Doom 2016, Titanfall 2 (has a short but really sweet single player and great but low populated mp), Prey, Wolfenstein The New Order and The Old Blood can be found for really cheap. RPGs like Divinity Original Sin 2 and The Witcher 3 GOTY are good and long games to keep you busy. Resident Evil VII and REmake 2 for horror, also add The Evil Within 2. If you want looter shooters, Destiny 2 and The Division 2 can add a few hundred hours easily if you are into that kind of games.

Then you have the Xbox games like Gears of War 4, Forza or Halo.

Bonus that a bunch of those games are currently on game pass. I know Doom is, and I think the Wolfenstein games are as well. Also, I just saw that Rare Replay is on as well for the Banjo games the guy wanted to play.

Oh man people keep saying the resident evil remakes are good and i was a huge fan of the old games way back when, but holy hell does some of the footage for the new ones look intense. Its like someone took resident evil four and cranked everything through the roof. Not sure about playing that with a heart condition but it looks cool.

A big reason i want the xbox was the game pass cause i grabbed it on pc at first for stuff like slay the spire ( which is amazing ) and saw how insane the console one is. Ill be using the ultimate pass for sure.

Taking the suggestion some made i saw a lot of those fallout 76 bundles for cheaper. My friend bought me that garbage fire on pc. Is it actually possible to get anything for the code or should i just look at it as free garbage? Do people actually still play 76???

The remake of Resident Evil 2 is the most stressful game I've ever played. Being stuck in a tiny room with Mr. X and two lickers outside was terrifying. Excellent game.

Fallout 76 is your discount code for a cheaper console. In Spain they slapped the retail version to pretty much anything to get rid of it (Germany did this first by giving it for free with Dualshock 4 purchases lol). There are people playing it and if you end installing and liking it, fine, even if it's bad is a videogame and I beat Bad Rats so who am I to judge others? :haw:

Does anyone know if perfect dark on the rare replay has any online features? It would be so cool to play multi with my bud in florida.

Also five to twenty five is okay for 76. The prices i saw brought it low enough that the game had a negative value to the console and games cost so dunno if I'll even bother selling the code. My weirdo friend who likes that game i might hold onto it for him on the happenstance he wants it.

Yeah it's the 360 release and has working online multi-player. Both deathmatch and co-op are available over Xbox Live although the co-op is supposedly a little less stable.

You can play both with other Xbone users with the game, or with 360 users who have the original 360 release.

Oh wow coop and multi drat.

So i feel like im opening a can of worms cause ( seriously wtf with layered DRM Bethesda ) but i love me some DOOM, whats the actual playability and features of the DOOM rerelease on Xbox one? Does DOOM 3 have coop? Does Doom have any of the expansions? Is the port like lovely quality?

Also has anyone played Phantom Dust on Xbox One X? It wasn't on their enhanced list, so i was wondering if it gets any benefits. ( I might be the only person still playing this game on earth )

They've done a ton of improvements and actually added things (like NPC's, factions, and questlines!) since E3 this year.

You can get the previous versions of Doom 1 and 2 on XBL, which are frankly great but still have messed up music, and you would need to so since for whatever goddamn reason the new releases dont have No Rest for the Living but do have The Master Levels for Doom 2.

Even more annoying the BFG edition release, which is honestly the worst of the three in my opinion, has two exclusive levels as well.

Why in the hot gently caress Bethesda couldnt get all the maps into one version of the game is baffling.

I watched a few clips from best of giant bomb where Abby Russel got the poo poo scared out of her playing new re games.

Not gonna lie if i can get a copy with the poster that's a selling point.

Are any of the game pass games active player wise on console? Id ideally like to play killer instinct or the master chief collection but if they are already dead game pass feels a little silly.
