Halo 5 makes the xboneX shine. It’s good. I’m playing assassins creed origins and it’s actually really great. I mean drat, I’m not even out of the starting town and have finished a ton of cool exploring. The combat and parkour are much better than I remember it being.

Any tips for a beginner? Like, what are some important skill unlocks to grab, or weapons to go find, right off the bat? I always feel like in these games there’s that one hidden weapon somewhere if you invest time getting at the start it makes everything easy and badass.

The new asscreed really is incredible, some of the side missions remind me of Witcher 3 level of polish. I'd say learn to dodge and parry and you will be unstoppable regardless of weapon choice.

I think it's still early access on xbone. I'm on the x, but lately it's been playing super smooth for the most part. Still not the same as PC, but it's a different kind of retarded beast that's also fun to play.

HDMI cables are all the exact same connectors and cable inside. 1.0, 2.0, 2.1 or whatever, a well made HDMI cable can carry all of them.

Official 2.0 or 2.1 certified cables are supposed to have higher quality shielding and wires so that the signal gets less interference over a longer distance, which is necessary for the higher datarate signals to be carried, but good HDMI 1.0 cables can do that just as well, especially over short cable lengths

Even an old HDMI switch should work fine with it, as long as it's just physically switching the plugs and uses good connections inside.

Yeah, I was using a super old 1.4 HDMI cable with my X to a 4k oled and I got HDR through it. Then it burnt out, and then a second HDMI cable burnt out two days later. They were both extremely old but now I'm curious if I was pushing too many bits and the cable just couldn't handle my bits...:thunk:

Plugging in the controller to the console via USB momentarily always fixes connectivity issues for me, worth a shot.

Just buy an elite controller :D

I have a PS4 Pro now and a XB1 X. I think the PS UI is more reliably smooth, but it's much easier to do just about everything in the xbox UI. It seems you can't even pin HBO Go or Netflix to your main bar on the PS, instead you can only create folders. Seems a bit backwards but WHAT DO I KNOW

In a way it ended up a bit like Duke Nukem Forever did. Stuck in development hell so long that by the time it came out it was already out of date by today's standards.

Thats a fair comparison. I'm enjoying the game, but it's like paying darksiders again.

The only source of that is from reddit and your memory of Montreal in the 90s. No offense intended but that is straight up the Daikatana ad font so I think my skepticism is warranted.

e: This actually has me curious enough to start looking through the old gaming magazines at my local shops and expos to see if I can find any magazines from 1997 with that ad. I find this stuff pretty fascinating. I did a media project in college that was all about lovely old cigarette and alcohol ads from the 20s and 30s that was pretty fun.

please present your findings, I'd love to see a doc on such things.

Set the ogre on fire. Constantly retreat back up top on the tree if you need to. It’s easy to pick off the dudes around him.

You can also sprint up behind him right away and do a ton of damage before he breaks free.

I’m a scrub at DS and Bloodborne but for some reason Sekiro is easier for me.

That sort of hit and run poo poo just isn't fun when you're used to souls roll/parry/fuckthemintheass gameplay.

Management structure and changed expectations in the FPS arena aside, what really stole Valve's attention long-term was VR. Once they got their hands on it there was no going back to traditional storytelling. I just hope they finally release some real content for the Index.

Finally started playing the Outer Wilds since it was included with game pass. It takes a while to get going, but once you get to the gameplay loop it's incredibly addictive. It's like a simplified No Mans Land without the building, but more story and puzzles. It also gates gameplay between about a 20 minute play as the sun explodes and kills you . But your journal captures all updates and there's always somewhere new to explore.

If you have gamepass you should absolutely play this game.

I use the elite controller daily and it's amazing how much nicer it feels to use. All other controllers feel like toys now, whereas the elite feels like a tool.

A tool to play bidoe games.

Anyway this argument is retarded since anyone dumb enough to use these forums is also dumb enough to care about a nice keyboard and mouse, which no one has a problem spending money on.

It seems the source of lag was moving right and left again. It seems better and much worse than the PS4 interface still, and I can't really figure out why.

It runs really nice on a BoneX but, as always, a higher end PC will run it prettier. The bigger issue is Doom Eternal had higher enemy counts and expectations of switching between targets that makes me feel like on higher difficulties gamepad players will have an uphill climb

Good to know, thanks! I got Doom 2016 on xbonx and I felt it was snappy enough most of the time.
