My Xbox Series X really reminded me of PC gaming yesterday, my game crashed twice while I was playing Rainbow 6. Quite annoying

My Yakuza 7 crashed in like the first hour

Could someone test out the original Skate game and test how are the load times?
Especially how long it takes to load a far away checkpoint. Those were long loads on 360 and xbone

DF did a side-by-side of DMC:

Long story short, the consoles are the most similar they've ever been in history. I'd be shocked if there's performance differences in any way that matters anytime soon. Their observation is that for whatever reason, the PS5 is punching above its weight despite having slightly less GPU power.

I saw a non-DF comparison. Basically they said that PS5 has less tearing and maintains a very slightly higher resolution more consistently, while the Series X has fewer frame drops. Also PS5 has like a 10% speed advantage on loads (about 1 sec difference). I kind of expect that the tearing on Xbox is probably going to be fixed in a patch though.

Seems like the differences are really minor, which will probably continue to be a theme this generation. Both systems are pretty strong this time around, nobody pulled another OG X-bone situation.

All of the main Bemani stuff is trapped on PS2 to this day. There was some Dance Dance Revolution Universe stuff on 360 but you need an actual 360 for that as well as any compatible hardware.

You might even need an Asian region Xbox for some stuff (unless you softmod).
Thanks, we do have a PS2 for this (only) reason. I was looking at all the 360 back catalog stuff and it got my hopes up that we might not have to hang on to this old console just for this.

I had the one that looked like a bluetooth ear clip.

I don't use headsets because I don't play multiplayer games where I'd want to voice chat but I do most of my gaming with a nice pair of headphones in order to appreciate the sound design.

About 15 years ago my friend bought his original Xbox over so we could dual team some suckers on splinter cell mercs vs spy’s (a top 5 multiplayer experience of all time, I will die by this statement).

He was wearing this same headset, and somehow a lone pubic hair (no doubting it - big old curly) had made its way into the foam part of the mic, which was now resting by his mouth.

Myself and my other friend were laughing hard as we tried to explain his predicament, but he wasn’t getting it, and was getting annoyed. Every time he asked what the hell we were laughing at his headset would wobble, and his ball hair would brush his lip - which in turn made us laugh even harder. He was getting pretty angry by the end as we cried with laughter - screaming ‘there’s a pube in your mic!!’.

He got alopecia a couple of years later, not a single remaining hair on his whole body.

Hey - what is the method to play XSX games on a PC via streaming?
All I can find is instructions to play on my phone - and while that is working, it kinda sucks.

You can't right now, unfortunately - the old "console companion" app which did the streaming from xbones has been deprecated and can't stream from XSX, and the current xbox app doesn't have that functionality yet.

I’m passing optical out from my LG oled to my receiver since the SeX doesn’t have optical out. I can’t seem to get surround sound working as a result. I even tried the Dolby access app to try 7 days free, but no games would make a peep out of the rear speakers.

I also noticed there’s a delay when outputting Dolby digital to the tv -> receiver now. I tried turning on a “bypass” option in the tv but that didn’t help. In any case in that mode I still couldn’t get the rear channels to light up.

Anyone ever deal with optical out from a tv? I tried all the setting I could find on the receiver, usually leaving it on pcm direct did the job in the past...

Can you do HDMI ARC instead? You might have better luck with that than optical.

Alternatively, why can't you do Series X -> HDMI -> Receiver -> HDMI -> TV?

I think it is in the arc plug already. The receiver is old as poo poo and won’t do 4K so I need to only send audio to the unit. This may force me to upgrade though.

Such a tense gaming experience, running around as a merc with your gun torch on looking for those rat like spys! Insanely good, I’ve never found an asymmetrical multiplayer experience quite like it. Was hoping evolve would give me the same vibes, but didn’t quite live up. I think 2 on 2 was so perfect for that format, I would play that game so damned hard if it got remastered.
