stop staring at me

Is there a guide anywhere about how to adjust the Elite controller's stick sensitivity? I can see the differences on the graph when I use, say, aggressive or delayed curves, but it'd be nice to have a brief explanation of when you might want to use each. And as far as I can tell there's no information at all about radial vs. axis-independent vs. true diagonals.

Yeah, you can have it connected to the Xbox and one Bluetooth device simultaneously, so I connect it to my phone for discord like you said. I think I read that you could use the web app discord via Edge on your Xbox and have chat that way?

If I can use discord on my series x so voice chat comes out of the HDMI and headset while playing Fortnite I will never have been happier.

(I know there's an option in Xbox settings, but Fortnite overrides it and only plays voice chat through the headset if it's plugged in because they hate me)

It had a high profile reveal at least. It was like the only other game shown on stage at that horrible tlou2 e3 show that sucked so hard sony quit stage shows forever

Didn't they show Tsushima at the same time?




Anyways the Control trailers were incredible, and yeah there were a lot of people saying the game looked boring or lovely but that's just regular goonspeak imo. It was awesome to buy that game on release and have almost no idea what I was in for, just such an uncommon thing in the current gaming landscape. Makes me think of the way The Matrix was marketed.

Sony had 3 straight E3 presentations where all they showed were slightly different trailers for Death Stranding, Ghosts, TLOU and Spiderman.

it kind of took a few years to realize that Sony "winning" E3 by showing 69 trailers, all of which were teasers with no gameplay or release date, was kind of cheating

i'll probably get an X at some point and use the Series S as a secondary or give it to my bro lol. Or a PS5, cuz as much as I hate the direction Sony has been going in the last few years for their house style they still have a few weirdo exclusives i might like

Yeah, they never dropped a bomb E3 after 2016, or that legend PSX event in december 2016. After that they stopped showing up for trade shows or whatever, maybe because sales were already so good. That said, most of the big corps have been distancing themselves from E3 since the middle of last decade.

I’ll buy a PS5 in about 5 years when it’s accumulated enough single player exclusives. I did that with 4 and scooped up the Uncharteds, Infamous, SpiderMan, TLoU, and a few others

E3 2015 was the big "e3 of dreams" with neir/ff7/shenmue/etc all coming back from the dead and 2016 was their symphony orchestra, no talking show because they finally had ps4 games nearing release enough to showcase with extended gameplay.

Then they were like "well the gen is set! Reassign everybody who isnt working on a sequel due out in 2024 to just gently caress around and draw the biggest console chassis they can think of for the design contest, ok!"

I think at this point they'd just buy a Japanese Developer wholesale

I do wonder how much they care about Japanese games in general after all of their swings and misses (from a sales perspective at least) over the years

Japanese game companies seem to have just accepted that Sony bad and now they're all on PC too lol. Switch still has a bunch of stuff that's only for it, a lot of which isn't localized for some reason. I dunno what's up with that because as far as I'm aware if the game doesn't use touch or motion controls it should be a pretty effortless port.

I would like to play poo poo like SMT on my Xbox though.

Anything less than 120 and the emotions start to stutter for me, while my tears act as a pretty good full screen anti aliasing so I forgo 4K for performance.

No different than if you play The Show on gamepass and get the big ole Sony splash screen, with the playstation controller buttons all over it. MS is shooting themselves in the foot if they try to force stuff that popular to be xbox exclusive.

Yeah at the end of the day these companies are here to make money not win some war that gamers perceive. I'm sure MS is going to use their acquired IPs in a way that benefits them the most and losing billions of dollars of COD playstation sales is probably not that thing.

I really think these acquisitions are going to mostly amount to bargaining chips and the future of exclusivity is going to look a lot less cut and dry than people are envisioning. it's going to get to the point where Sony and MS are going to own so much of the gaming space that they are going to straight up need each other to stay relevant.

Turn delivery optimization back on dipshit. And also run an update through the windows store. No I don't know why theres poo poo in there that's not on windows update even though your Microsoft apps will gently caress up without it. Also sometimes the Xbox app just refuses to correctly install a program unless the download was started in the Microsoft store. Both of the store apps are pretty lovely and barely working, but the Xbox one is especially bad.
