I just quick resumed a THPS session from like two months ago lol. I know it's been a huge ymmv situation (maybe they've gotten it ironed out now?) but for me it's been really slick. I can't imagine going back to cold booting.

Makes Yakuza 0 sessions way less harrowing when you know you don't have to worry about dipping out in the middle of their forty-minute cutscene marathons.

I've had a couple issues, namely with Valhalla wanting to do Ubisoft Cloud saves, and it losing connection between sessions if you Quick Resume. It'll save after the resume and then overwrite any of those saves with the cloud stuff as soon as you reconnect.

But hopping into most games, especially the X1 Games I've been kicking around on GamePass has been awesome.

I like all the yakuzas but I'm playing y3 right now and you can't pause at all during the cutscenes. You gotta plan ahead if you think a big one is coming.

only one game and one media app at a time though, it was just kept in RAM. here you can stop a game (which is like hibernating a VM internally), play something else for two weeks, get back and you're immediately right there. do this with enough games though and some will get purged, with others it simply won't work. which is why we need more UI feedback

Yeah only issues I've had so far are with FH4 (the menu will wig out sometimes) and Skyrim Special Edition (Massive stutters, probably because of mods though). Everything else I've played seems to work great.

Anything that connects to the publisher/dev servers will ultimately just gently caress up with the function and I hope MS/Sony push them to stop interfering with OS features like quick resume.

COD has it but it always dumps you back to the 'connection to activision servers lost' screen and you have to connect again.

maybe this years cod will handle it better since it should be built specifically for it.

I wanna say the max is 6 games, but yeah, more than the One X.

this can't be Uncharted shade because there are no tragic villains in Uncharted and the game never once tries to assert that there are. Nate's last words to the villain of UC4 are basically "gently caress off"

that would be like watching Indiana Jones and expecting him to sympathise with the Nazis at the end

Brick and mortar stores are still not allowed to be open in my region if they're not selling food. Otherwise I could buy it used for about 10-15.

So yes, now I have no choice but to buy it for 25 bucks. I want to experience that 60 fps.

If you haven't played The Lost and the Damned you haven't played GTAIV. Next to Petey it's the best content.

I love GTA5 especially the fact that it has checkpoints. I had a rough time with the main missions in GTA4 because of a lack of checkpoints so I spent most of my time getting drunk with cousin, which was pretty great.

Checkpoints during missions? I'll have to remember that. V was so anemic in terms of actual content, they thought having three characters with a cool selection animation would suffice, but it just made the huge world so much more empty. And the radio stations were pretty bare. The heists were laughable in their linearity.

For what it's worth, Episodes from Liberty City (available on Xbox as both a standalone title and DLC for GTA 4) has in-mission checkpoints too. Only the main game doesn't. EfLC as a whole is a more fun experience than the main game in my opinion.

I only ever played the main game for a few hours, I remember really disliking it. I'd love to go back though, this was forever ago.

Hell, GTA IV has in-mission checkpoints too, they're just rare for some reason, limited to stuff that's the most tedious to repeat. I think I've encountered... two? in the whole game

Is there still a standard simple microphone to be using? When I look for "xbox headset" I mostly get a bunch of over-the-ear cans with 7.1 surround sound, but I'm happy with my audio setup and just want something lightweight to voice chat with

you can still use the Xbox One chat headset that has a single ear piece

e: if the new in-box controller still has the accessory port and not just a headphone jack. my elite v2 still has the port so i would think the base controller does too.

It does, I just bought one.

Before that I tried plugging in Apple headphones to the headphone jack. It did not go well.
