On the series X I can’t get flight sim to actually do anything? like im in the menu’s and there’s no way to actually start playing the game. Tried deleting my local game data, rebooting the console, manually checking for updates via the OS.. Is there a way to check for pending downloads in-game?

I’ve tried all the game modes, and I can just ‘go back’ with b. Also when I use the right analog stick to scroll i can’t scroll back up.

This is all on top of the fact that the splash screen looks like a 1080p pic stretched to 4K, then i see a loving mouse cursor on the top left of the tv lmao

Edit - aaah the controls are just straight up busted. I think this is because I have save data in the cloud from my win10 sessions. I’m going into the control options but there’s no cursor and I cant highlight or select anything.

Alright back to my computer I guess!

Saw a reddit thread about this problem, hope it helps

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
To celebrate MSFS, I downloaded Crimson Skies, which I've never played. Anything I should know?

Hmmm, MSFS is starting to crash on me. Three times already in the last 2 hours.

edit: according to some first reports, activating air traffic may be the cause. This checks out because it's only been happening since I've turned on the option to show other players.

MW2019 Is also completely broken and activision refuse to acknowledge that some maps just do not load and various features have stopped working in the recent update.

I say recent update but the updates are only to warzone, now MW, yet still must be applied to my MW install.

That’s a shame. Modern Warfare 19 is the only cod worth a drat in a decade.

Def gonna give it a shot. Whatever you call the twin stick shooter hack and slash genre owns. I might play it on PC though since I got a new laptop and want to try it out.

What’s weird is the control profile when broken did say Controller and there was a picture of a controller, but it said ‘with reversed tilt’ or some weird combo that enabled it to half work :classiclol:

This makes me frustrated that you can’t give away games you buy digitally. I already have tomb raider DE, but the 3 game set is cheaper than buying the two I don’t have. It would be better if you had transfer rights for the games so if I bought it twice as such I could give away the redundant copy.

Of course I still haven’t played the first one yet. I think I also have it on ps3 and played it for an hour or so.

This makes sense, I think it's more of an actual RPG than a looter-action RPG.

Should we be worried that there are no reviews with the game releasing in 10 hours?

I'm kind of ok with this honestly, just means its not a typical ARPG. The shininess of random loot is fun but sometimes it's just not very well designed

I played Grimdawn for the first time over a long weekend with a friend and I got a weapon at level 24 or something that ended up being the best weapon I had until I finished the base campaign at level 50. Cool that I got it but I also effectively never had the excitement of finding something better, and it buffed a certain skill so much I didn't experiment with builds at all because it was so strong

Where Diablo 3 and similar games shine though is how long you can play them for, and how different the experience is every time
