If the bundled games are digital (I think with Xbox they always are?) and "Play Anywhere", then yes they'll be playable on PC. That said I'm not sure there are any current bundles that offer Play Anywhere games, maybe a Forza or Gears bundle? The bundles with Minecraft, Battlefield, and EA Sports games would NOT be PC compatible, nor would the games work if they're in physical format, those are strictly Xbox One only.

Actually the Minecraft bundle I got included seperate key cards for both the Bone and Windows 10 for Minecraft

So I've had a One S for five months. The other night, YouTube or the dashboard glitched bad; I could get the system menu to power it off, which I did.

Now I'm getting a black screen when I start up, and the TV insists no signal is coming from the Bone. I tried the video mode reset thing (eject and power button simultaneously held down), and nothing happens. I tried to restore to default (bind + eject then powering on), nothing happens. Switching cables and TV ports, same thing. Are the button combos different from the original on the S? Or am I just boned and need to send in for warranty repair?

That was actually right by my place. Somehow that brilliant marketing campaign didn't work on me despite buying an og xbox and 360 at launch. Mostly because none of the tv/spworts stuff ever worked outside of the US and A.

I think it's CS where sometimes the people will die en masse because a big chunk of your city is the same age and they all die of old age at the same time.

Or because you dug a berm around the neighborhood and pointed your sewage pipes at it and now everyone is drowning in a reservoir of human waste.

Is it just Reddit, or has everybody flipped the script on Battlefield vs Call of Duty? Battlefield has been excellent for a long time, ridiculous amount of content. Great gameplay. It's great.

COD has been this cheap feeling version of Quake with modern guns where it feels like you are on a freakishly smooth track gliding across the battlefield instead of inside a virtual character. Along with them seemingly doing everything wrong for the future of gaming with microtransactions, wrapping things behind pay walls left and right.

On top of that, all I've been reading is that Black Ops servers were majorly downgraded after the beta and now run like poo poo during it's flagship battle royal mode.

People support that? The Battlefield series has seemed to be made for the player with ridiculous amounts of content either for free or at low prices. Like they are listening to the player and the COD series listens to "corporate", for a lack of a better term.

What's wrong with Battlefield V?

I know the battle royal mode got postponed to March....so?

It's just Reddit being a bunch of entitled babies, isn't it?

there's goddamn WOMEN and BLACKS in the game and AGH MY IMMERSION THERE'S A WOMAN ON THE GODDAMN COVER AH gently caress SJWWWWWWWS

that's Reddit's problem, my problem is BF1 was underwhelming in the end and just not much fun, so I'm waiting BFV out. Also,

No the opening scene is like 2 hours long. It�s a bit of a tutorial, which I don�t mind.

But you spend so much time just going back and forth, slowly.

The older I get, the less tolerance I have for long tedious unskippable horseshit tutorial levels. I like Doom 2016 a lot more than I should solely for the fact that it just goes "you're here, now shoot some poo poo"

NHL 19 is not terrible if you are looking for a hockey game but hadn�t played one in six or seven years. Like Madden or anything else EA Sports does, it�ll have pretty graphics, but the actual gameplay will be kinda meh and it�ll always feel far too easy or far too difficult and never quite like a real game. I don�t think they added any major new features to the game that really show up in Superstar or Franchise modes, so if you played one recently it�s basically just the usual roster/uniform kind of updated edition. It absolutely wasn�t worth paying for brand new when it came out, but not bad to try it out now a bit for free.

I never bought the NHL series as regularly as Madden (And even that I stopped getting a few years ago), but the last one I really enjoyed was NHL 14 on 360 because it was the last one with the old ESPN announcers (Gary Thorne and Bill Clement) and you could set your goal song from music on the hard drive, plus gameplay elements that have since been dropped (Superstar mode had interviews and silly endorsements, different equipment affecting ratings, among others).

Robin Hood and his Merry Men are up to it again!

really the biggest problem virtually every hockey game has is that it is not NHL 2k on the Dreamcast

Really videos games failed at naming their consoles when they stopped using words like "super and mega" in the new one. Super Xbox would have been a good name. Or naming consoles after predators. Xbox Tigers would have also been good. Or Jeffrey Epxbox.

If MS hired me I would have called it Xbox Load Blast. it's a very powerful name that implies lightning fast SSD load times, but also very subtlety makes you think about cumming which is a thing almost everyone secretly enjoys.

This Xbox museum thing is either operating off some funky data or its deliberately trolling me.

It is doing things like 'Most played game' - showing a picture of Halo 3, (accurate) with the title 'Call of Duty Black Ops 2' (never played it?)

My first console has a picture of a OG 360, with the title 'Xbox Series' - I don't own anything newer than a Xbone.

Similarly, my first online game was Destiny apparently. Despite me owning the console for 5 years and playing hundreds of online games before!

My rarest achievement is 'Welcome to Los Santos' from GTA5, which im sure you get by simply starting the game. I guess not many people must have played that game.

It showed me as first taking my 360 online in March 2007. I didn't own one until October 2007.
