I've been streaming with my mobile phone internet and even with that was playing Forza Horizon 4 without noticeable issue.

I just played Forza horizon 4 last night, and even though I had a very small bit of lag, I could still drive around okay enough to find a couple garages.

It would be nice if the streaming app had a way to compensate for stick lag. Or at least push an update to the controllers themselves. Are you using an Xbox controller, or a 3rd party one?

I unlocked the Warthog in my first super spin through sheer luck, followed by the horn, and I spent literally my entire time in Forza driving badly in it and it was a lot of fun except for the multiplayer group stuff that you can't accomplish anything in with it lol

Horizon 4 as weirdly become my most played game. I was never a driving guy but it's just beautiful (on the X at least) and fun as hell to gently caress around in. I'm like level 122 right now I think.

I want a version of FH4 with destructable cars and then maybe a Flight Simulator Horizons in the future so I can do all the cool poo poo in that game without the learning curve.

The PC version lets you turn on damage modeling; the cosmetics get really beat to poo poo but physically they just start listing and going slower. The F2P one had your tires burst if you hosed up though lol

Wait why is PC version different? I mean on the XBOX you can get some cosmetic damage but as far as I can tell no performance loss. I assume it's all a licensing agreement thing...right?

Manufacturers not allowing their cars to be damaged hasn't been a thing in years. I think damage is just turned down a bit in Horizon because it's not fun to launch your car off a cliff and then not being able to drive anymore because obviously everything is bent now.

I don't want anything realistic. I want Forza Horizon graphics/cars/etc with some fun-as-poo poo Burnout style crashing (and quick resetting).

I want Microsoft/Rare to push their seemingly-friendly relationship with Nintendo farther and give me a real Diddy Kong Racing sequel. I don’t care if it’s on Switch, Xbone, both, whatever.

Just make me a goddamn DKR, and put Banjo in it. And replace Drumstick with Kazooie and maybe add some more gender diversity to the lineup.

Who cares? There’s like a jillion Kart racers out there- Sonic, Crash, some famous youtube kid’s apparently got one now if a previous post ITT is to be believed...

I hear the Sonic and Crash ones are actually pretty good now, but lmao at me ever playing a 3D sonic game.

There is Mario Kart and there is Diddy Kong. Alpha and Omega.

Seems like there's even more ways to get reward points now. There's quests on the game pass page which give you points for playing anything and doing specific things on certain games.

More ways to get free stuff I guess.

Black Friday sales have begun for Goldailures, and at least at Best Buy Canada. Hardware-wise here's a breakdown:

The SadBone with no disc drive is $180 CAD.
There are 8000 different Xbox One S 1tb bundles for $250 CAD, including one that comes with two controllers but no games.
The XB1X price seems to only be officially dropping to $450 CAD, which was already more or less the price if you were willing to get the Fallout 76 bundle.
The basic-rear end white and black controllers are $50 CAD, with most (though not all) other controller designs being discounted but at least $60 CAD. There's a small discount (I think $15 CAD?) on custom bonetrollers. No discounts on Elites or Adaptive controllers.

Digital-wise I don't think there's much that isn't already a part of Game Pass, here's a short list I cribbed from elsewhere in USD.

Ace Combat &: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition - $40 (60% off)
:siren:Anthem - $12 (80% off):siren:
Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Gold Edition - $25 (75% off)
Borderlands 1 XB1-native GOTY version is 50% off
Borderlands 3 I think is 33% off for all editions
Battlefield V Standard Edition - $20 (50% off)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - $24 (60% off), the Digital Deluxe is 50% off
Control - $39 (35% off)
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled - $26 (35% off)
Devil May Cry 5 Deluxe Edition $23 (67% off)
Dragon Ball FighterZ - $15 (75% off), all editions are similarly discounted
Far Cry 5 - $15 (75% off)
Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition - $50 (50% off)
Ghost Recon Breakpoint - $30 (50% off)
Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Online Edition - $10 (67% off)
HITMAN 2 - Gold Edition - $25 (75% off)
NBA 2K20 - $30 (50% off)
Red Dead Redemption 2 - $30 (50% off)
Resident Evil 2 - $20 (67% off)
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - $39 (35% off)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy - $20 (50% off)
Titanfall 2: Ultimate Edition - $4.49 (85% off)
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - $15 (75% off), I think all editions are 75% off

There's a stack of other titles on sale but I think largely for prices they've been on sale for in the past.

When did Ultimate Game Pass begin? I had a chat with Microsoft support today, and they claimed that I had subscribed to it in June. I could have sworn it started in August/September?

At any rate the support guy was really helpful and found a workaround where I was able to get five months for $3.

He had me create a new account, link it to my Xbox, subscribe to Gold, Game Pass PC Beta, then Game Pass Ultimate. $1 each. It works with my main account since it's linked to my Xbox.

edit: I should add that the one caveat is I need to download Game Pass games via the new account. However the games and the Xbox Live service work with my main account. It's simple to switch between accounts though, no password or anything is needed.

Actually pretty hilarious (but kinda awesome) that an official MS support person instructed you to do all this. We often tend to think we're outsmarting the company when we pull off stuff like this on our own, but they know.

They put in things like this to get people to give them any money at all. They put it behind all these hoops so that only people who really want it get it. When I cancelled my SiriusXM service, the guy told me he would give me a discount for a year if I didn't cancel. He then said that if I called again in a year, I'd get the same discount again. But I'd have to spend an hour on the phone each year with someone I barely understand to get it.

What the gently caress is Gears 5 doing with its matchmaking

Teams are five players, but you can only bring a party of 3 into quickplay. You can bring any number into ranked and then lose because probably the other team had a full party. Also it takes loving forever. Just let me bring four or five people into the gently caress Around mode!

It is noticeably not as good as 4, maybe 75% as good. But 4 looks so good that even at 75% it still looks great.
