Welp. Back into the Xbox fold I go. I was looking at the One S recently and with that $1 gamepass deal I decided to take the dive again. I have a 4K TV but I feel like it might be a little foolish to go full on One X with the Scarlett coming up next year. Would it be wiser to just go One S?

Real hurthling! posted:Just wait til scarlet then why spend 200+ a year early? Cuz I just did the three years of Gold + Gamepass deal and I'd like to start playing through games I've missed over the past few years. The all digital one comes up on Rakuten for about $170 from time to time. I may just wait for that again.

Alright finally got in the One X game. Ordered the Division 2 bundle from Rakuten because I had enough credit to cover it and it comes with $80 cash back. So about $310 total. Now to get it and never play it because I have two kids and whoops this was a bad impulse buy.

I said come in! posted:Get Ultimate Game Pass if you play PC games as well. Already got the 3 years for $1 deal! That's actually what spurred me to get back into gaming. Had a One for a while, then won the Taco Bell One X and sold it for $700 (the OG one, not the second competition), then got a PS4 and just wasn't into it. Then the let my Live lapse after like a decade as a Gold member. Then the Ultimate Game Pass deal came up and I found codes for $50 so I stacked 3 years and converted for the $1 deal. Only regret is I found a MassGenie deal for $50/year PLUS SunsetOverdrive and TitanFall 2 codes.

*Of course* the $389 Division 2 bundle I got ("Brand New" from Rakuten) is actually most likely used. Looks like original seals are broken and new seals put over it. Gonna open it and check it out, but is there like a serial number cross check to see if it's actually been used at all?

What's the recommended rechargeable battery pack/stand? I don't really care about a stand and these look good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MW9Y588/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=ACNPD5Z1B53QL&psc=1 Good reviews on battery life, etc. However I'd like something shipped/sold by Amazon to use my $15 credit. edit: OR do I just get the Eneloop Pros since Amazon hilariously is offering a Subscribe & Save discount (even though they aren't regular batteries) for the 4 pack of AAs plus charger. With my Twitch credit it brings the price to under $1. https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-K-...=gateway&sr=8-2 BonoMan fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Aug 1, 2019 |

My new Xbox One X was working great for a week then it froze during a Crackdown session and had to be rebooted. Ever since then, when I wake it from sleeping, it takes about 2 or 3 full minutes for the Dash to completely load and the controller disconnects every few seconds. New batteries and all. It only works when wired. I know the bone has wireless controller problems, but is it just a controller replacement or am I likely to have to replace the whole console? I'm guessing interference but it's on a different side of the house than the router and I've unplugged all nearby wifi devices (Hue bulbs and roku) and it still does the same.

mem posted:Got to be the console if the dash is that sluggish. Have you tried powering off the console by holding down the power button for several seconds? Yep and it's fine for the most part. Once it loads fully it's totally snappy and good and if I'm not waking from a paused game it's fine. It's only coming back from sleep state if I'm in a paused game. I'm actually having some normal wifi issues now so I'm wondering if it's just the location of the console. It's in an (open) entertainment center shelf

Fyi moving my boneX out of the tv console fixed all my controller disconnects. I mean it was on an open empty shelf with 6 inches of space in any direction and line of sight to the controllers. And still didn't work. Even sitting right next to it. But moving it out fixed everything. Jesus that is some shittily weak connection.

So moving my xbox one x out of the completely open entertainment center to the top of it made all the controller connect problems go away for... approximately 4 or 5 days. Now they're back. It won't work again. Ugh what a piece of poo poo. Returning.

Hellblade seems disturbing and cool (despite the dumbass name) but the combat was an immediate turnoff for me. Does it get better or lessen overtime? Something about all this cool story and atmosphere and then "ok now wait here and battle 5 of the exact same guy over and over again with clunky slow combat" just makes me not want to continue.

On the opposite end, goddamn Forza Horizon 4 is loving gorgeous. Except there is way too much "going on" in that game. Navigating the menu system is utter hell with the 8 trillion "seasons" and events and leveling and I can't follow my progress for loving poo poo. I have no idea what's going on in that game. Still have fun just farting around in it.

RBX posted:I like owning my games and not having to play it before it goes away. Oh and not having to pay monthly for the privilege. Then... do that? You know you can just buy the game if you want right? But for those of us that like to try games out, or don't care about permanent ownership of games we know are one-off plays, then PC GamePass + Xbox GamePass + Xbox Live for 3 straight years at $151 is an absolute deal you do not pass up.

katkillad2 posted:So did Crackdown 3 get patched to be a good game or were people just overreacting about how bad it was? Because I've been playing it for a few hours and it seems pretty good. I didn't get an Xbox again until recently (Crackdown 1 & 2 being some of my favorite time wasters) so I never read any of the reviews but as someone enjoyed the first two... I enjoyed 3 as well. I mean it's all about the orbs and it fulfills that just fine.

Horizon 4 as weirdly become my most played game. I was never a driving guy but it's just beautiful (on the X at least) and fun as hell to gently caress around in. I'm like level 122 right now I think. I want a version of FH4 with destructable cars and then maybe a Flight Simulator Horizons in the future so I can do all the cool poo poo in that game without the learning curve.

The F2P one had your tires burst if you hosed up though lol Wait why is PC version different? I mean on the XBOX you can get some cosmetic damage but as far as I can tell no performance loss.

So totally superficial question - how does Forza Horizon 3 hold up to 4 graphically? I'm a sucker for good graphics and, while I want to play 3, I have a mental block on going to a game with lesser graphics. It's stupid I know, but that be me.

BrownieVK posted:FH3 does not have a 60fps mode on the OneX making it worse than FH4. That makes such a huge difference playing the game. I'm exactly the reverse. I turned on 60fps mode in 4 and it was just too ugly to me. The 30fps "high quality" mode it perfect for me.
