Ace Combat is leaving Game Pass in a little under two weeks so just a friendly reminder to those who haven't played it yet that it freaking rules.

My official chatpad gave out a couple months back. (My old one from the 360 days did at some point also.) They either don't last forever or I need to update some firmware. If I can't get it working, I'd also love to hear what's recommended.

You can also enter text with your phone using the Xbox App, but that requires remembering the Xbox App can do that, which I am terrible at.

I just ordered this chatpad which will hopefully arrive before New Genesis comes out next week, which will give me plenty of opportunity to run it through its paces. The generic part number is TYX-587 and can probably be had for ten bucks from AliExpress or something, but I want it ASAP.

I don't like the setup where the keys in the Z row are offset one to the left compared to the official Microsoft chatpads, but it's not like there are any alternatives since all of the generic ones seem to use this layout for some reason.

After getting the hang of it on switch and picking it back up on game pass when I got my series X, I can officially say... I’ve Slayed the drat Spire. What a good game.

How's Subnautica on the One X? I'm interested in the game after watching a Twitch stream a while back but I saw that apparently the console versions ran terribly and I hoped the One X got a decent patch, at least? I know they just released Below Zero which looks great but is also apparently a much smaller game. Kinda torn because I don't see much point in getting both and all the new extra stuff in Below Zero seems cool but I wonder if there's content and variety that's missing because the first game is apparently has a much larger world? Stuff like creatures and environment types?

Also I missed the 65% discount sale on Forza 7 Ultimate :negative:

I feel pretty sure Microsoft's gonna announce that the next Forza Motorsport releases this year seeing as they unveiled it last year and had footage of gameplay at Laguna Seca but since Turn 10 always leaves announcing the track list until just before launch I wanna grab Forza 7 before it's delisted in case this Forza reboot is more serious and all the fun fictional tracks go away.

Subnautica runs great for me but I’m on an XSX, no idea how the One X version is. It’s on Game Pass so just give it a shot if you have that

I'm so glad Steep is on gamepass, cause I never would have gone back to it otherwise, but it's such a great stoner/zone out game. Once you get the controls and the flow of the physics of things it feels really good to control. It also has some great feedback when you inevitably smash into a tree and ragdoll into the sunset. I sort of wish they leaned more into this and went PAIN style, but advertisers prob. wouldn't like that.
Unfortunately the game commits the ultimate sin: always online ubisoft login bs that prevents it from quick resuming :argh:

It also has this great idea of presenting lots of events that are gated behind DLC. WHOOPs, maybe you should spend some money? I'm all about throwing money at games I love via cosmetics and stuff, but gating all sorts of events and blending it in with content you do have feels a bit dishonest.

I'm already so used and spoiled by quick resume that I can't play always online games anymore. I usually play short sessions of different games on the same night and sometimes I stop before I reach the next autosave point.

Altus are masters of their own destiny, though. If they wanted to they could.

Edit: I do a lot of ports for Sega so I know people at SOE/SOA/SOJ and when we pitched on the re-release of Catherine years ago it came from Atlus directly, not Sega

Could you explain? I had a great external SSD that one day wouldn't recognize and kept saying the cables weren't powering the device. I eventually just get the Xbox Series X SSD, but I'd love to get that fixed.

Cheap enclosures tend to use cheap ICs for power management that don't like being powered all the time.

It would detect the drive but any load on it such as loading a game would cause the enclosure to lose power and reboot.

A good quality enclosure from a good brand solved the issue but it took more effort to find what brands are decent than it did to buy it.

It's flawed in some ways but I don't think it's garbage. I mostly enjoyed it. It's too long but almost every video game is too long.

It makes sense that Sega is going to start porting more games to Xbox and PC given how well Yakuza has done. You're seeing the same thing with Square Enix.

I expect the Microsoft E3 presentation is going to have an "everything at this show will be on Game Pass" theme so I think you'll see something about Persona there.

sega have been very explicit about more ports from atlus, especially when p4g was well received not that anyone expected less there

nocturne's making the rounds as well so it seems to be a slow investment rather than rushing every title out (didn"t stop nocturne being a mess of a port though)

I've been curious about the series for like a decade and a half but never got around to checking any of em out. Is the story self-contained (or worth worrying about at all)?

They’re overly serious schlocky melodramas but they make for real fun arcade fighter jet games. There’s some genuinely cool cinematic missions in 7, too.

word.

I’ve had it in my queue for a while. Just started playing it and it’s great except that it’s hard and you stop blinking while you play

Clarification: ace combat 7. It took me 3 tries to get the hang of flight in the game. It’s a lot easier if you ease up on the throttle.

Weird question, but does anyone know of a 4k capture device that can capture 4k from the xbox one x? I've seen tons of them that can do passthrough 4k, but nothing I can find that will actually capture at that level.

There are rumors that Microsoft has been looking into buying underutilized IP and Journey to the Savage Planet probably wouldn't be out of reach!
