Lucked into getting a used Series X and it's awesome. Gamepass is ridiculous with way too many choices which means I'm in analysis paralysis. Shot in the dark: I've been playing Psychonauts 2 on my PC (via Steam) and am about halfway through the game. ANY way I can get that save ported over to the xbox? I tried installing on PC via gamepass but it appears the save files are different formats

I'm a few hours into Avengers (singleplayer) and am pleasantly surprised at how much I'm enjoying the story. The combat is bad, feels hectic and mashy, and not like something I can improve at to be smooth and stylish, or even mashy but fun. But the story has been cool so far.

Finally getting my Series S next week! I though about waiting for a X but I’m impatient and at the end of the day, I’m not playing games as much these days. I’m coming from a One S, so as long as it’s more powerful than that, I’m happy. Like most, just going to be my game pass machine for now. With that said, are there any games that straight up won’t work well. I saw an article on Toms Guide (I know, it just popped up on my google feed) warning people not to buy a S|S because it won’t be able to play a lot of games like Control and No Mans Sky.

Any game that runs on an Xbox Series X will run on a Series S. The Series S will generally run games at a lower resolution and sometimes with lower graphical effects and/or at a lower frame rate. Control and No Man's Sky absolutely run on a Series S. The Series S is a great little machine. Enjoy!

There aren't any games that won't work, you just may end up with some performance cuts like no option for raytracing or in the case of things very weirdly optimized Yakuza 7 running 900p60. Otherwise it works as advertised: 1080p60 when its big brother shoots for closer to 4k in the same situation and has all the bells and whistles otherwise

After a decade I’m back in the Xbox ecosystem. Took a look at the cost of upgrading my ageing PC and balked at the outrageous cost of graphics cards. So I got an Xbox Series X via All Access and yeah this loving owns, and I’m having a blast playing Fallen Order in 4K. The price of the controller charging kits is a bit poo poo though, so I just got a charger and some rechargeable AAs.

Fallen Order does have a 4k (2160p) mode at 30fps, or 1440p at 60. It was patched in a few months ago.

Yeah, a lot of games hit 4K, though it's often part of either a quality/performance toggle or a dynamic resolution system. It would be detrimental if games were arbitrarily locking to 4K at the expense of everything else.

Technically runs everything as people mentioned, but I had an S for more than a year and now have an X and the S does struggle with backwards compat stuff. "Struggle" is the wrong term, it plays them fine, but One games either use the S version or the X version depending on which Series console you're playing them on. For some games this can be the difference between a game feeling next gen and feeling like a PS3 game unfortunately 99% of the time if something is labeled S/X compatible it runs great, its more of an issue when going through back catalog on gamepass. If a game has "FPS Boost" it usually runs very well on the S too, Prey ran so well (a game that famously ran like poo poo on last gen hardware) and they have been getting better at supporting the S with time it feels like.

I haven't had an issue with anything on my S, it's not like the One S where more current things (like Control) ran like poo poo on clearly low settings.

I felt the same way until the story makes you do "defend the point" missions, and never touched it again. Was expecting to at least get through the campaign.

Played a little bit of the infinite beta yesterday with my brother in law, and I really enjoy the lighting stuff they added, it definitely makes things seem slightly less uninspired. Halo's always been a good time but the art design is just usually...lower case, we'll say.

I have usually held the same opinion but I dabbled with Avengers yesterday and I was going back and forth between quality/performance. Its a bit of analysis paralysis with me and I ended up taking a long time getting through the Golden Gate tutorial because I kept switching the graphics options. But I ended up on Quality for this one, the visuals are noticeably better (compared to the option in AC: Valhalla where I really couldn't tell where the graphical upgrades were.) and the gameplay isn't fast paced enough to feel the need for 60fps. --- Overall I am glad the performance/quality options exist and people have an option but damnit if I won't sit there and meticulously decide my preference before I get settled into a game

I had a lot of fun with the beta, largely because I haven’t played Halo online for ages. Honestly, other than prettier graphics, the art design seems exactly the same as it was twenty years ago or whenever. (Surely there are huge changes that I’m too out of the loop to notice) Wish there was more variety in the big FPS games. We’ve got the world wars, vague near-future stuff, and “Star Wars” poo poo. More crazy Splatoon ideas please. But I guess the people have spoken?

Anyone playing Grounded? It's really polished for an EA. So far a fun "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" experience with crafting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciVgq5xO5G0

It’ll be interesting to see what Obsidian can manage with, I assume, a MS provided budget and proper QA. That Grounded game looks like it’s taking a lot of cues from Rust, but I’ll check it out in full release for sure.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:Fallen Order does have a 4k (2160p) mode at 30fps, or 1440p at 60. It was patched in a few months ago. Yeah I’ve been playing using the high quality mode. I’ve had an original PS4 hooked up to my 4K TV since we got the latter so it’s nice to actually see things in 4K. So far I’m really enjoying the overall experience and I’m glad I was patient and got the X rather than settling for the S. I really dig the look as well; this imposing black monolith that’s eerily silent. I also love the Windows 98 style startup jingle - it’s right up there with the original PlayStation. The fact I didn’t have to fork out £449 up front is the icing on the cake. My apologies for being yet another new guy wandering into the thread and babbling about his new Xbox, but in this age of ever increasing costs of living and my increasing age and cynicism it’s just so nice to buy something that just shouts “I’m incredible value for money and you’re going to have a shitload of fun over the years with me” from the rooftops.

it’s easy enough. i did it on the website a few years ago, but I’m not sure how much it’s changed now MS is doing the battlenet thing of letting your name be whatever you want and adding some numbers after it.

Nah, they're stored on the cloud. It's so you can use your new gamertag in 360 games.

Evil Badman posted:This only happens if you pick a name someone already has. More specifically, this only happens to your Xbox360 name. There's a newer name class that puts the unique number into a subsection (think Discord), though the new name style also has new unicode requirements (you are no longer restricted to ASCII, seems you require a font that works for the entire UTF-16 code page) so not every game will be using it (eg Quake).
