Huh, is that the first Series X title with a 40fps 120hz mode? At least the first (now) first-party one right?

According to a list I found:

Fallout 4
Hogwarts Legacy

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Microsoft Flight Simulator (VRR Mode Only)

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

So I just got that message from Xbox that my old clips will be deleted on May 30th. Is there a way to view all my old clips? Or even mass-download them?

If you go to guide -> capture & share -> recent captures -> show all -> manage, you can select all your Xbox live clips and either copy them to external storage (a USB NTFS formatted drive) or upload to One Drive.

They do now if you choose, there's an option to automatically upload to One Drive. I don't think it's on by default and doesn't apply to existing clips.

The automatic OneDrive export is pretty cool. After taking a video, you can immediately access it on your PC for editing or uploading to Youtube.

I'm not convinced there is a difference between Quality and Performance mode for Fallout 4.

It looks the same, and both seem to be 60fps.

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.

what makes you think this changes my assessment on how playstation losers can get hosed?

That's not what Microsoft says.

Breaks Fallout 4 on Xbox: Broken for a month, during the most important time for the game's popularity with the launch of the show
Breaks Fallout 4 on PS5: All hands on deck, fixed in like an hour or two


Now this is some Bizarro-world poo poo, where a Bethesda game is least broken on PlayStation.

Manor Lords early access is up on PC gamepass, although it actually isn't it's linked on gamepass to the microsoft store... so just follow that button and click free trial for the 11gb download, i suppose it'll launch from the gamepass application given that has achevements listed? idk.

Maybe because this isn't the finished game (which won't exist for like 3 years) it's not directly on gamepass? idk

It takes a bit to show up sometimes. It's on the game pass app now. Same thing happened with Crab Souls yesterday.

Yeah it shows up, but there is no download in gamepass button, the button gets you to download it via the microsoft store. Probably because it is early access. Flight sim 2020 was like that during the betas, then eventually just went on gamepass when it came out.

Playing through Shadow of the Tomb Raider and having a pretty great time! Areas are fun to traverse, lots to explore, and graphically I think it still looks pretty decent?

Feels nice having discrete levels to explore, rather than some lovely time-wasting open world with 10 million collectibles

I enjoyed all of the newer TR games. They get loving brutal with the death animations.

The adapter dongles (usb-c/lightning to 3.5mm) work fine. Just leave it on the headphones all the time.

Yeah I’ve had some pretty intense ones. Feels a bit weird that a game artist could spend so long modelling, texturing, writing and voicing a beloved protagonist, then including some absolutely brutal deaths for her.

I know most games obviously have death animations, but nowhere near this brutal or gory.

Well I mean how the levels just funnel you through with ramps and slides and the obvious loading time narrow passage bits. I guess once I get past the first main bit on coruscant it opens up so you can backtrack etc? But I am finding it really light on combat and heavy on running up and down stairways that are laid out in a totally nonsensical path.

Ya it's not really linear not sure which game you played or what you mean by linear. You get basically a whole planet and as you unlock moves you can access lots of side areas.

The first one was definitely linear but this one is definitely very open even the zones in the planet, lets say a Abandoned Factory has mutliple routes so its really not linear even it's dungeon design.

Also I feel like open world designed games are way more common and overdone linear games these days. I actually missed Fallen Order's smaller design, it made it more replayable while with this I would never replay it even though its got better combat.

:confused:

All the TR games in the Uncharted trilogy have a significant number of collectibles and they all use open worlds connecting to tombs and other special levels at the edges. Sure, Shadow splits them in a a few open zones that are only connected by cutscenes/fast travel, but the effect is not that different.

The opening part on Coruscant is maybe the smallest section in the game and most of it serves as a tutorial to teach you the basics of the game. As soon as you get off it, you'll be on the main open hub world, Koboh.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


None of the reboot Tomb Raider games have been "open world" by the conventional definition. They all tend to have 2-3 looser main hub areas that branch off into tombs, punctuated by linear platforming setpieces and story sections.
