doingitwrong posted:Same thing happening to me also in the US. It is baffling to me how bad both console makers are at selling us the hardware they’ve spent years getting ready to sell. I don’t mean producing and shipping. That’s a whole other thing. But just the basic act of having accurate delivery windows and clear communication about the status of our orders. I know for MS it's because it's built into their overall Windows Store, which seems to be primarily designed for digital purchases and thus sucks at this. It is amazing how bad it is though. I at first felt relieved to get one directly from MS, thinking they'd be the least likely to gently caress this up, but here we are.

Deadly Premonition is back on the US store! Just bought it via the XBOX store app on the console Someone convince Digital Foundry to do a Switch/Series X comparison. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/deadly-premonition/c2pnzw9rv706?activetab=pivot:overviewtab Also it's amazing to buy a 360 BC game for $4 and the DLC for it is still full price. Go check out Dragon's Age for a good laugh.

Akuma posted:Yes. It's a real shame they fixed up the PS3 version and not the 360 one because it's such a faff to get my honking great PS3 out. I didn't know they fixed either version. That's really weird. Did they not have anyone good enough with HLSL??

Not bad, but loving lol at only the XB1 version of NBA 2K21 getting discounted (the next gen and Black Mamba Forever cross-gen bundle get no discount, and you can't do a paid upgrade from PS4/XB1 to PS5/Series). Also at least in Canada the EA Spworts stuff is on sale 50% off on disc. Investing in the consoles with disc drives is already paying for itself. univbee fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Nov 20, 2020 |

Getting all the DLC for Mass Effect 3 on Xbox store is more expensive than buying Mass Effect 3 on PS3, Xbox, WiiU and then buying Mass Effect Andromeda combined.

I find myself using the Xbox more than I expected, bouncing between Yakuza: Like a Dragon, previous gen games, and Game Pass stuff. My first week with the console has been nothing but positive. Well, aside from my decision to try Anthem. Also, an unexpected benefit: My tv is a cheap TCL that technically does HDR but does so poorly, with no way to disable HDR outright. It's an excellent tv otherwise, but that one flaw can be a pain. By using the Xbox for all my streaming and media playback I can finally watch 4K content with HDR toggled off.

I think they skipped patching the Xbox version because patching cost a fee or some such nonsense from MS at the time so if you bought the 360 version you're stuck with the busted version. I played it on PS3 after it was patched and only ever hit a couple of glitches. I'm pretty sure SH2 PC is abandonware at this point and someone has been working on a HD patch for it. No idea about SH3 pc but SH4 is on GOG now which is....something. It's a real bad game.

From what I remember, developers got one free patch on 360 and then each additional patch was $10,000. Konami basically walked away from SHHD.

The second charge for my Nov 9th order fell off last night. I’d rather they’d just keep the money than them do the four days on and three days off thing.

On the PS4, I can turn on my headset and the TV goes quiet and all the sound comes through the headset. Is that seriously not an option on the series X? I can just turn the TV down, but this is the future, the console should do that for me.

The charges being periodically renewed is literally the only sign I have that they haven’t forgotten the order completely, so I am grateful for them, no matter how clumsy.

I can just turn the TV down, but this is the future, the console should do that for me. I'd call that more freedom of choice than the PS4's solution. You can just press the mute button; meanwhile you can't make audio go to both a headset and the HDMI at the same time on the PS4 even if you want to. But I suppose having an option to auto-mute the HDMI if a headset is detected would be nice.

I mean on my One X when I turn on my headset (RIG 800), the audio stops coming out of the TV... so surely it's an option somewhere.

Man I really regret getting AC: Valhalla for the Series X instead of the PS5. Ubisoft really phoned it in - insane screen tearing, it's crashed right out to the dash numerous times and I've had 2 corrupted saves so I'm juggling save files like crazy just in case. All of that in addition to nearly AC:Unity levels of jank in the game. Really loving bad port, if anyone else is thinking of it then hold off for awhile.

Coming from the PS4, this controller is very clicky. But I like the haptics in the triggers, that's new for me. So far I've subscribed to GPU and I love the selection of games in there. About 80% of my PS4 library is in there so I guess I shouldn't have gone to PS4 coming from the 360.

Don't feel too bad, the PS5, and PC versions are both ultra buggy too. This game was rushed out the door. It seriously needed another few months of bug fixing and Q&A. Near the end of development the entire main team imploded due to massive abuse / harassment scandal that involved key leadership on the game leaving UBISoft. So the development was a shitshow.

I remember a guy at the computer store I worked at would keep his cell phone on the table I worked at because it was close to the front counter. We always knew when he was getting a text or call because the PC speakers near it would go nuts.
