Arc Hammer posted:I realized that I have had Game Pass for a while just to play Halo Infinite's campaign (lol) and I haven't used it for anything else since ce beating Gears 5 last year. Are there any good shooters on there right now worth checking out? Preferably a good campaign FPS. There's also Serious Sam 1-5 if you want to really turn off your brain and shoot hundreds of enemies in brightly lit arenas. Surely some of them are on GamePass.

prom candy posted:Hifi Rush is really fun, glad I got an Xbox I started playing it yesterday through cloud streaming on my Steam Deck, and I was honestly surprised at how well it performed. I noticed very little input lag and it hasn't affected my enjoyment of it so far. Plus, the game is just really fun and I love the animation and style.

My first (and only) playthrough of Elden Ring was in offline mode because I didn’t want to sully Miyazaki’s immaculate vision and immersive world with a thousand marks on the ground and player ghosts fat rolling off every cliff.

I'm running a max arcane build and collecting one of every single item in the game and then sitting down and reading through the item descriptions for the enhanced lore.  There's a ton of weapons in the game that are only dropped by the mobs that use them.

Douche4Sale posted:Your "home" console can load anything you own or on game pass without requiring you to login. Other consoles require your account to be logged in. Ok So I set this up and it mostly worked except all the games me and my wife were playing were on the same account. Meaning all the save-games were on the same account. So now we have to make a new account to be able to both play, and one of us is going to have to start over since Microsoft doesn't let you move save games between accounts. Unless someone knows some kind of work around to this? Also since I'm new to the world of Series X - if a game is available for both Xbox One and Xbox Series X, is there any difference between the two? NHL23 for Series X is still full price ($70 lol) but for Xbox One it's down to like $25. Did they actually make two versions of the software or is it the same software being sold at a higher price to people who don't know any better?

When a game uses Smart Delivery, you just get auto-upgraded to the Series version where applicable, however with a lot of other titles, especially sports titles, they aren't Smart Delivery and buying the cheaper "Xbox One" version doesn't give you the Series version as well, and sometimes the XB1 version gets discounted in a way the Series version doesn't (usually the XB1 version has a $60 MSRP and the Series version has a $70 MSRP). The Xbox One version will be fully playable on Series, but won't have boosted graphics/load times. In the case of the sports titles, usually the bigger fancy bundles (that have a normal SRP of like $90 or $100+) include both the XB1 and Series versions, and these do occasionally get discounted as well, which is nice if you still have an Xbox One so you can play the game in question there too. But if you just have a Series, you can just buy the Series version and you're good. And yeah you're SOL for the saves, they've always been "each user should have their own account with their own saves" and offer no way to correct mistakes.

I had a somewhat decent time with it during the 10-ish hours I played, but again I just got extremely bored by that point.

The saddest thing about Andromeda is that it is very fun in the very few enclosed Mass Effect 2/3 style sections, and very poor in the open world sections. If they had just stayed in lane it would have been fine. Oh and gently caress crafting.

There's only so much patching can do in a case like Andromeda. Like yeah it's playable now and the animations have improved somewhat, but the game is still boring dogshit with mostly lovely characters, in a setting half as interesting as the galaxy in ME 1-3. And it could have been much more interesting! A whole new galaxy, holy poo poo! But apparently they only had the budget to populate it with Darkspawn and some N'avi with the serial numbers filed off. Hey, remember all the stuff you liked about the setting in our original trilogy? Well it's all gone, have a bunch of desolate garbage instead!

If they had just stayed in lane it would have been fine. Yeah the combat and movement felt pretty awesome, mechanically. The shooting felt like an even more polished ME3 and the jump jet things were pretty cool. Gun crafting was far too complicated, but you could make some cool stuff. Making it open world really did the game a huge disservice. It was never gonna be ME2 but the companions were engaging enough that I think it would have been an acceptable entry in the series had it had way less Ubisoft style padding. Edit: also if they didn't royally hosed up the multiplayer with horrendous net code and wack-rear end balancing.

I rolled credits on Operation Catalyst in CrossfireX earlier this afternoon. I liked it. For IGN to have given it a 3/10, they must have either played a heavily unpatched version of the game or were smoking some potent poo poo, because this was at least a 7/10 experience on its worst day. I've played 3/10 games and shooters, and this is not one of them. It looks nice, the story is serviceable with some Remedy-rear end Remedy stuff going on, and the gameplay is solid, albeit linear, military-shooter fare with some optional collectables to pick up along the way. Took me about 4 hours or so while taking my time to explore the environment. I would recommend giving it a shot while it is on Game Pass for the next week or so before it completely vanishes from the universe. Sucks I can't play the second part of the campaign, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Oh I have nothing kind to say about Andromeda's writing either. Let's do a game about being the first people to explore an uncharted galaxy. Except you arrive in the second wave. And are never the first person to get anywhere, despite being And literally everyone else is too dumb to survive on their own despite being part of an organized expedition. And anything remotely interesting is discarded the moment its immediate relevance to the plot is done rather than build on it. Big intact alien ship? The terraforming systems? Those work, we've got scientists who'd sell their children for a look at how they work, are we gonna look into these at all?... No?... I'd also like to point out that big bubble helmets on the cover only exist for them to break in the prologue because the old-style ones (that're still prevalanet through the game) are far, far, more durable and well-made (see; Mass Effect 2's opening)
