My old rear end 360 controller with the floaty sticks is finally starting to feel pretty unplayable. What is the ideal xbox one controller for PC? I don't know anything, is there a specific hardware revision that's better than others, or are there any good third party controllers?

One you buy now will have bluetooth. Old ones dont have it.

My pcs bluetooth antenna loving sucks so i use a 8bitdo usb receiver to avoid laggy input and pairing trouble but you might not have that problem

I just plug in my xbox controller to my really long usb cable when I am playing on my computer even though the controller has bluetooth.

Market forces force physical media prices down harder than digital copies, you say?

The PC market serves a pretty strong counterpoint to the notion that digital-only means more expensive games, even during the "Steam is the only real retailer" era we seem to have emerged from.

No no no, I played tons of NMS. I just sold it before the latest update (and switched from PS4 to Xboxen). I'll pick it back up eventually.

NMS is a proof of concept for the video game industry to see how little content they can sell at AAA retail pricing and get away with it under the guise of 'the game is what *you* make it!'

I got it new for $5 right before the VR update hit (I got it for VR) and it's still not worth it IMO. I mean, it's fine, but boring and I'd rather spend my time playing a ton of other games. So, TLDR, I wasted $5.

I don’t think it’s any more boring than your avg sim. I’m not calling it a sim game in the slightest, mind you. Just saying.

Unfortunately the only real options if you want that sort of open-world space game are NMS or Elite: Dangerous. Neither of them are really fully baked or fully fun in the way that better open-world games are.

Now you get Rockstar to make a Cowboy Bebop game and then we can talk.

Devs got paid a chunk to put it on gamepass, that's why there's still an option to buy the game. Don't know how psn works though, since you can't buy ps+games.

PS+ definitely pays out based off number of people who add the game to their account. No idea for PSNow or any of the Xbox systems but I could see it being along the same lines to a certain extent, with probably a base payment too.

They get lump sums. Hence the 19 million non recurring payment to Capcom prior to DMC5 being added.

Basically every dev on gamepass has said they get paid well and it boosts sales, do not feel bad for using it or worry it encourages engagement games.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
I would assume that games with gold would be a per install thing, and then gamepass would be a lump sum for however long it is on gamepass.

Yeah but it looks like poo poo. Reach at 60fps and above 720p or whatever the hell it was will be amazing. It's one of my favorite games and I'm beyond excited for it to be beautiful lol.

Gamepass is the only price worth paying for it. Good decision. You can immediately switch to the good outer w game when finished

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

Xbone controller seems to be eating through AA batteries pretty quickly. Any thoughts on whether it's better to buy one of the Play and Charge battery kits or to get a rechargable battery setup instead?

I have an Eneloop Charger from years back but the batteries I have for it aren't holding a charge anymore.

Yeah, that's where I'm leaning with new consoles and controllers on the horizon that probably won't work with that play and charge kit.

The Play&Charge kit is good when it works, but will occasionally refuse to charge when depleted and connected to the bone, official instructions is to let it run out completely, remove, wait a day and connect again which is fiddly as all hell. Get regular rechargeable batteries

PC version looks really nice! It has no new graphical features, its just the Xbox 360 version in native 4K and 60fps, and there is also an uncapped FPS option.

Is Halo 5 worth playing? I don't do MP so only SP campaign.

It's the only Halo I haven't played, I've installed it and started it but it's kinda feelin' supperrrrrr generic and I don't know if I even want to continue.
