Ubisoft should unlock the framerate in The Division 1 (because the winter setting is much better.)

AFAIK everyone said that 2 was great and had good multiplayer. Are those screen shots from an enhanced version or just the base version on a new console?

It's the next gen patch for the current version. I don't think there's any plans for a proper next gen version.

My lb elite button is recently busted, sekiro defeated it. It came out of its holding but I put it back in and it semi works again, feels a bit dodgy tho. Not sure ill to get another elite controller, I rarely ever used the extra paddles except for halo. Does anyone have all 4 of those things on? It’s like learning a new language, I only ever kept one attached.

There was a leaked Amazon listing from a few months ago that suggested they were going to release a current-gen remaster of gta4 this year so you might just want to wait and see if that pans out

Legit serious question: I have never looked at Kinect, but I'd like at some point to try Rise of Nightmares, just because I'm a Sega completionist. How'd I go about that? This is confusing between the Xbone dropping the Kinect port at some point, there being two versions of Kinect which I'm not sure if they are compatible, and not being sure if Kinect games are even backwards compatible (but I suspect they aren't). Is the only possibility to do it on a X360 with the original Kinect? What about Xenia?

I'm pretty sure you're gonna need a 360 and original kinect. I think Xbox One kinect was dead by the time 360 BC came around and there was no way they were gonna make those games work on newer consoles.

Div2 is pretty good, it's the only one of the recent ~live service games~ to hold my interest for more than a couple hours. I think it's because under the tacticool milsim veneer it's actually just Diablo 3 with cover shooting and some pretty neat mission design.

Well, the good news is that an original Kinect seems cheap. The bad news is that I'm seeing some eBay listings with just the device and others with the device and a power supply. One of the listings claim not all X360 models require the Kinect power supply. I'm going to assume I should play safe and get one with the power supply just in case it's required because I have no idea how to identify if my old X360 needs one or not. Most listings do not have a power supply, interestingly enough, so it's not just the case of people losing theirs. Yes, there is someone legit interested in the loving Kinect in the futuristic dystopian year of 2021.

As a person who played a lot of Rise of Nightmares, please don't. It is not good and the kinect adds nothing but frustration. Please purchase only if you plan to play the other actually fun games that use the kinect as well. On a relatedish note apprently more 360 and OG Xbox titles are coming this year to back compatibility.

The Slim and Elite 360 do not (so it makes sense if someone bought a Slim-with-Kinect bundle that it wouldn't include one). The Slim and Elite 360 consoles have a special proprietary connector, usually with a red or orange line sticker next to them. If your 360 has this, you do not need a power supply.  If you only have normal USB ports, then you do (the adapter basically has this special port on it that you plug the Kinect into, splices in power, and then goes to normal USB).

My left bumper gave up the ghost thanks to three dark souls games. The paddles are great for shifting in racing games, and for slide/jump shooting in CoD without having to take your right thumb off the stick. That's about it.

The streets of not-NYC are very pretty at night and I enjoy the gritty atmosphere of the bad neighborhoods in the game. Also have you tried taking a helicopter to some roof, getting out and watching the sun come up? It's very nice. The more I play GTA4, the more I prefer it over GTA5. It does everything well (except for the lack of mission checkpoints).

I recently picked up a couple of broken elite s2’s to fix up. I got one of them working in a matter of minutes* and started using it almost exclusively. I haven’t really found a solid use for more than two paddles in the games I tend to play, but it’s really nice option to have. Also, the battery life is great and the heft of the controller is A+. Also, that specific one came with a literally defective paddle. No idea how that happened. *I had to pop it open and clean it after solving the “Won’t charge” issue by using a different USB C cable. I’m trying to figure out how in the flying gently caress the inside of the controller had half a bag of chip crumbs and mucous poo poo inside. It cleaned up really nicely at least.

Double Fine Happy Action Theater was a cool Kinect thing also. It had like an ambient mode where you could just leave it running and it would cycle through scenes. I left it running a couple of times during a party and people would just walk past the TV and see themselves throwing balloons up in the air and stop and interact with it for a while, it was neat.

If anyone was looking at an Elite Controller but the price tag is scaring you off, I have to recommend the PowerA version. https://www.powera.com/product/fusion-pro-wired-controller-for-xbox-one-white/ I had a Series 1 Elite controller for a long time and finally had to replace it so I bought one of these. Everything about it feels great, and it only runs for $80. Only caveat is that it is wired.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I'll actually get one of those dancing games just for the novelty of trying it out.Tsietisin posted:Do you live in the UK? If so I still have my Kinect and a few games in not using. You are welcome to mine. I live close, thanks for offering. Sadly, we don't have open borders/market anymore, so anything sent between nations is now taxed heavily. univbee posted:The original fat 360 of RRoD fame needs the power supply. The Slim and Elite 360 do not (so it makes sense if someone bought a Slim-with-Kinect bundle that it wouldn't include one). Thanks for the detailed explanation. It's not amusing how hard it is to find proper info about this stuff, considering everything is Xbox in the name and there's two Kinects and none of those things ever became popular enough. Mine is one of the original 360's. Surprised it's still working *knock on wood* more than a decade later. I remember the time we had to know what motherboard revision they came in to figure how easy they would get the RRoD. If I remember any of this stuff, I think it was the Jasper that was the best one, while I have a Falcon, which was "acceptable" but still in the dangerous zone. Who knows how much of that stuff was factual and not just hocus pocus of speculation. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Feb 10, 2021 |
