The share button is cool because you can do something sick in a game, and then hit the button to capture the past 30 seconds into a clip. When I played Sea of Thieves I took over 1400 screenshots across 2 years for my Captain's Log. I regret nothing.

Once I took some screen shots of the robot with the enormous rear end in Livelock to show the Two Best Friends subreddit and got a few likes on it.

orcane posted:Yeah well the cool thing about that is the Xbox will delete them after a certain amount of time if you don't share them. Because that makes sense. isn't that a configurable setting op. furthermore i always reupload them somewhere else anyway because im too lazy to set my albums to public

Larry Parrish posted:isn't that a configurable setting op. furthermore i always reupload them somewhere else anyway because im too lazy to set my albums to public I took dozens of screenshots when I got this Xbox last year and played through some older games, I only uploaded a handful of them to link to my friends so I lost almost all of them while I was assuming I would be able to upload or view them locally later. To me this is easily one of Xbox' dumbest feature, don't touch my local data Microsoft you giant morons.

I have maybe 5 screenshots I've meant to take and dozens and dozens, maybe over a hundred of ones I've taken when I was trying to go into menus or got too excited when button mashing.

Gonna hook up an Atari 2600 joystick to my Xbox. With only one button I never have to worry about hitting the wrong one.

There should be a feed/timeline thing that shows the most recent screenshots and videos posted by your friends.

I think there is, if they specifically choose to share it to their activity feed, which almost no one does.

If I take a capture I really like I just upload it to onedrive and stick it in a folder. I have like 150 mass effect le screenshots in my desktop rotation. Photo mode in ME1 is great.

It would be weird if they expired since you can set them to be the background on the Xbox dashboard

Traded my one controller with the button for two without it today. Now it'll be years before I encounter that dumb button again.

butt dickus posted:still a bad deal imo. the newer controllers are nicer and you can repurpose that button as others have mentioned. i turned off screenshots entirely in settings because my friends are a bunch of butterfingers like y'all Turning off screenshots only means I'd have the capture and share tab open up when I hit the button accidentally instead of a popup saying screenshot taken. Not having the button means not having the tab open up or screenshots taken at all. Just how I prefer.

I just upload everything cuz I haven't hit the Xbox cloud limit yet anyway. When I do I'll probably just archive it onto my PC.

Yea I just spent 30 seconds making a profile that makes all three actions nothing and, guess what, nothing happens when I hit it. Amazing!

Cool beans man. But I solved the problem by getting rid of the controller. Besides, the controller that came with my S occasionally wouldn't sync to the S anyhow. So really, two problems gone in one trade. I don't have any street fighter games anyhow. No hadoken from me.

ColdPie posted:I've also been enjoying Deathloop. Short set pieces that you learn over many visits, no need to sneak, no dialog trees or even cutscenes really. The invasion mechanic keeps you on your toes in a way that just replaying with the same NPCs over and over wouldn't. I've also had some fun playing as Julianna. I completely wrecked a guy who kept trying to get into his own flat and couldn't manage to get the jump on me. Absolutely love the gameplay in Deathloop

Has MS ever explained why games you haven't played in X amount of time don't get auto updates? It's very annoying to go and play a game I haven't touched in a while only to get hit with a 20gb patch. My console is set to update in the background, I want ALL my things updated at all times.
