Finally got around to watching the E3 stream and noticed the Cuphead copyright date as "1930", which I thought was amusing.

Holy gently caress, if you have a Groove subscription, be really careful trying to get a refund. I got my refund, but they also removed the years of stacked Xbox Live Gold I had in the process and it took 3-4 hours on the phone to get that back.

My kids were bugging me about the Minecraft "better together" update, and apparently it isn't an update to the existing xbone minecraft, but a whole new game you have to install? Did they just do a really lovely job of communicating that or am I old and forgetful.

This promo is live for the US too, you can end up getting an Xbox One X for probably $150-200 worth of doritos spend

Top Gun posted:JESUS CHRIST it takes like 2-3 hours to "install" a game (even if you have the loving disc) and then another 2-3 hours to install the 60 GB patch for X enhancements. How is this acceptable? Disc is always way slower than me than installing full digital version, enough so that it's a big motivator to just go all digital.

Because I'm looking at this auction for an xbonx plus 12 months of game pass, and the high bid is 32,000. I know this person didn't buy 32,000 bags of doritos. Yeah, I got mine with about 60 bags of Doritos roulette, or $180-190.

GUI posted:The big differentiator between Wolfenstein and Doom since the very beginning in the 90s is that the former is heavily reliant on hitscan enemies in fast-paced combat (unlike COD and the like where you can chill behind crates with your regen health). That's why they're a gigantic pain in the rear end to play with a controller, Doom '16 is much more manageable on console due to the lack of hitscan (except for the shield enemies which are rare), lenient auto aim and most of the combat encouraging getting near enemies, which greatly decreases missed shots due to analog aiming+ the lack of view recoil in most weapons and how generous it is with ammo. I liked the combat more in the first game, the new colossus almost encourages you to just crank the difficulty way down and go hog wild on nazis.

The game pass thing seems like a weird service overall, they've already stopped me from buying some games I otherwise would've paid cash money for, and I'm not sure how that revenue works. On the plus side they did today say that game pass members can also play on PC for those releases that are play anywhere.

Beastie posted:I did Game Pass to give Sea of Thieves a try. It reminds me of Minecraft in a way. Sort of relaxing with interesting visuals. Good to hang out with some friends in but at the end of the day there just isn't much to keep me there. My kids/nephews/nieces love Sea of Thieves, so the Minecraft comparison seems fairly apt, as they're happy just loving around for hours in that too.

Intel&Sebastian posted:I'm sure the next straight-to-gamepass release State of Decay 2 will totally be the one. I spent a bunch of time talking to the Undead Labs people back in the day at a PAX before the original came out and what they said at the time was that they were working towards a State of Decay MMO after the first game made it out the door. I wonder if they tried for that and ended up dialing back to State of Decay 2 (which granted I haven’t looked at any of the previews on)

Zat posted:Just to clarify, the X uses part of its RAM as RAMDisk when running games that are not enhanced for the X, i.e. most of the games that predate it. But since new games are practically always enhanced for the X, it does not get you faster load times in them. Even Xbox X enhanced games load faster though too, this is not correct.

I think the intent is you get an Echo or Echo Dot or something and use that as a Kinect voice command replacement. And yes, there are no humans outside of the US, so no need to worry about supporting them.

butt dickus posted:I don't "get" the horse controls at all. It doesn't always move in the direction I steer and I ended up failing the escort mission because I drove into some trees and fell off. From what I read in the RDR2 thread it looks like the horse is a pretty big part of the game so I'm not really interested in playing it anymore. I'l admit I'm not great at 3d games but I can at least drive the vehicles in the Halo games and ride the horse in Breath of the Wild. Horses are assholes, news at 11

Is the clicking sound as you move through selections in your my games/apps list positional? It seems like as you scroll right the sound pans right, scroll left sound pans left. Basically, I'm not sure if I'm crazy, this is a recent change or I just never noticed
