I started Elden Ring and there was an opening video that didn't explain who I was or what was going on. I started in a dark room, used a guy's finger to leave the room, fought a monster that may have killed me but I think it was supposed to, then I woke up in a different dark room and there was a different opening video. The entire time there was poo poo all over the floor from other players. Then I got sleepy and went to bed. I'll give it another shot soon but so far in the argument between if Elden Ring or Skyrim is better I'm giving the edge to Skyrim, but I will report back when I have further information.

Jump down the pit in front of the guy in the chair before you leave.

Honestly, it's the same game as Far Cry 5 so far, just with more jungle.

I love shooters and I have zero interest in FC6 even free. FC4 was probably fav and it has been a steep decline since.

Same with Just Cause after 2. Just turned into stinkers.

I swear Elden Ring prepared me for Tunic. I feel like I’m breezing though it, finding secrets like nobody’s business, upgrading myself, already having necessary items when it makes sense, etc.

I love emerging out of a hole or door in a place I have definitely been before and cursing the clever but simple way it was hidden.

Game good. :)

Putting Lost Judgement on a Gold free to play weekend is such a troll because there's no way you could get even 15% into the game in 2 days.

Then people will want to buy the game and would you look at that, the new expansion is just about to drop, may as well spring for the expensive edition!

Is the HDMI cable that comes with the Series X good enough for a 4K TV? My apologies if this is a stupid and/or done to death question.

Apparently my TV does not support 120hz and Dolby vision at the same time. Is Dolby Vision worth it or should I keep VRR on?

If you’re playing a game that does 120FPS (not that many tbh) go with the VRR, otherwise Dolby Vision.

If it does HDR at 120hz just do that you won't miss Dolby Vision.

Xbox will show DV output all the time but unless you're in a game that specifically supports it (like the new Halo where you'll know by the lack of HDR sliders in the video settings) the picture won't differ from regular HDR. At least when I compared games at extreme brightness settings I got the same artifacts with DV on and off.

Far Cry 6 is a bad game. And I say that as someone who bought and beat 5 and bought 6.

It's more of 5 but with less obnoxious story but lol who gives a poo poo it's another Ubisoft collectathon.

Elden Ring is cool but I prefer Bloodborne's asthetic more :shrug:

Besides the usual Ubisoft poo poo, one of Far Cry's problems is it tries to be serious but also corny as gently caress, it comes off really weird.

that's not nature's way
My favorite part of Far Cry 5 was the development team initially pitching something that directly confronted the red state Y'all Qaeda "rural America will rise" Second Civil War poo poo that was bubbling to the surface — or at least finally entering the public discourse, because anybody paying attention had seen it mounting for years — in the mid-2010s in the U.S. ... then promptly backing off of that entirely when they realized what they'd walked into.

My least favorite part of Far Cry 5 was playing it. So many terrible decisions, holy poo poo.

Edit: I'm a dipshit.

Does the Xbox (Series X) really autodelete "old" captures? I set them to save locally and only manually push a select few to the Xbox network and I all the screenshots I took in January are gone. What the gently caress Microsoft?

Yes. Possibly even if you have an external drive for heavy duty gameplay recording.

the way Series does screenshots and videos the one thing i don't like over the pS4 where you could just build up hundreds of gigs of captures. also the way you can't record voices in a video clip loving sucks

JFC. I could accept that for online storage, but auto-deleting my local captures is one of the dumbest thing I ever heard and I followed this console through the Xbone/Kinect days. I can clean up my own captures if they ever take too much space, thanks Microsoft :psyduck:

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
