They should let you filter matchmaking by disk type, just like input type. And then they might as well enable SSD filtering by default for SSD havers, anyone with any sense would turn it on immediately anyway. This would effectively segregate HDDs and SSDs and I effectively wouldn't care.

you should need an Xbox Experience Index of at least 6.0 in order to play Ranked

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:this is an interesting subject because bushisms might be onto something as far as broad industry trends, but that being said i think it all had more to do with a lack of controller layout standardization in the early 00s and the general trend of making GBS threads out bad ports with no thought for adapting to interfaces. by the time we reached 2010 not only were there a fuckton more people using controllers on PC but you also find devs porting PC games to console and reworking their interfaces entirely to work smoothly (ie XCOM). nowadays it feels like bad controller support or bad menu design and integration is more of a rarity. i think of Diablo 2 Resurrected ofr example, where yeah the PC menu interface is still slightly more flexible and speedy, but the console controller shortcuts and overall controller interface design is well thought out and extremely comfortable and convenient. on some level i think this would've been unthinkable in 2005-2006. For awhile after that, pc dev went by the way side for the big third party games while they focused on console. This was the era of bad company and the like.

Little late to the PC and controller discussion but I just want to say that it loving sucks on console when you move your joystick in a menu and that moves a cursor instead of moving between options. This was in Assassin's Creed Odyssey and it was bullshit.

I'm gonna try asking here. I have a controller that seems like it's not staying connected. I've changed batteries, I updated the firmware, I even used a different controller and it stayed fine so its not the console. Any ideas? I might just swap the controller with a different one because it's a limited color.

Idk if this works with other games but in far cry 6 the joystick moves a cursor around like a poor man’s mouse, but the d-pad snaps to the buttons like you would expect which is nice. I think we can blame Destiny for popularizing thumb sticks as cursors.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:really bothers me when people claim poo poo like this, Arena and Daggerfall were extremely generic titles with size being the major selling point and Morrowind only got really "weird" because they wanted to use Star Wars as an inspiration, specifically the creature designs of Ralph Macquarrie. Oblivion was literally "dude, lord of the rings is so cool, we're doing THAT" and they did. Skyrim is absolutely a mix of the weird as poo poo and the generic selling point fantasy. Arena had Argonians and Khajit, both of which were weird. They also had you recruit your companions from weird sleeping pods at the beginning of the game. Yeah, it was limited by the techonology of the time and wasn't Morrowind out there, but Morrowind is the high point in the series. Elves were also all weird, dark elves weren't just evil elves, Orcs weren't just corrupted elves or weirdo evil rape monsters. Wild elves were... wild. Most of this comes out in the tiny dialogues, the lovely jokes, and all the other little things that happened in Arena that were unusual at the time of lore dumps being the book and you being referred to read paragraphs. Daggerfall introduced the Aedra/Daedra and their weird lore, like Malacath being shat out by Boethiah. It also had several factions that weren't generic fantasy and had odd endings, like the King of Worms eating the magical mcguffin you were after, or the big scary battlemage everyone thought would be out for revenge just stealing his magic back from the artifact he created so he could finally die. It also introduced the Dwemer, although I don't think we knew much about them other than that were steampunk type creators and extinct. Battlespire was fairly generic, other than the lesser Daedra including things that looked downright angelic. Redguard introduced most of the lore books, like the dragon break one, and that delved deeply into the strange. Up until Oblivion, the ES had always been weird. Yeah, Morrowind is the high point, but Arena and Daggerfall being "extremely generic" really doesn't do their oddness justice. When literally every other fantasy everything was LOTR or D&D based (which is itself heavily LOTR based) the ES series departed very heavily.

Finally tried Maneater and it's... kinda great. I'm sure I'll get bored of it and would never have wanted to buy it, but Game Pass stays winning. Chris Parnell narrating really keeps the tone in a good place e: Exo One was pretty cool, but as it went on it felt like it leaned more and more into being confusing at the expense of the game experience, like it was going for awe-inspiring but that kinda had diminishing returns after a while. Finished in under 2 hours but it still felt like the last 45 minutes dragged. At one point I think I bugged something on the water planet and got completely launched into orbit outside the planet's atmosphere, that was pretty sweet... I kinda wanna watch speedrunners play around with it and break it Martman fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Nov 30, 2021 |

I would laugh if Halo was internally doing something similar to Daikatana, which was programmed in such a way that, at least in the early versions, client players wouldn't start to load the data until the host had 100% finished loading the data. Halo: Infinite load time

Augus posted:no it's not that, I was literally playing it on a base XBOne the other day because I didn't have access to my PC and it was still like several minutes of "Waiting for Other Players" Isn't that kind of the issue the were highlighting though? Like, you (and probably a bunch of others) playing on a base Xbox one are the reason the wait is longer. The problem with multiplayer right now is that there's all these cross play options but none of them filter out people who are taking forever to load. Even on PC only there could be other players loading it off a platter drive and adding 2 minutes to everyone else's wait time. Then on PS5 and Series, theres the issue of not that many people being able to find the drat things, which can lead to long wait times and partially empty games as well. honestly it would be really nice if games would start to include an option to filter for current gen players only(IE PS5, Series X/S, PC with SSD) so there is a much larger install base to play with without having to wait for everyone else to load.

It would require a rethink of matchmaking and probably break some features that people like, but mixing HD speeds without waiting for some loser's HDD could work if map loading was desynchronized and players/parties weren't placed into a match until they're already done loading. I'm imagining a 2-step process where step 1 is the server assigning a map+mode for the player/party to load, then once that's done step 2 is actual match placement. Everyone's done loading before they get placed into the match, so other players' disk speeds are irrelevant. The match can start immediately as soon as it's full.

At least I think I have been, I purposefully chose it a couple of weeks ago and have just been launching the game from the "recent" box on the home page. It boots up almost instantly and load times are tolerable until we convoy up and the One Ss have to load a map.
