I have game pass, I don't know why I keep buying games on sale that I'm not even going to play right away because I'm playing something on game pass.

My favorite thing is when I do precisely that and then a month and a half later that very game comes to game pass

Has anyone tried any phone controllers with game pass and are any of them good? I've got unlimited data and I'm ready to abuse it for cloud games

I'm using the razor kishi. Just get the standard Android one, the Xbox version charges for the correct color buttons and that's it.

I plug in an Xbox controller and have a bracket that snaps the phone onto the controller, it has worked pretty well when needed.

Xbox controller with a phone clamp thing.

This would save me from phone case on/off hassle (also the iphone version of everything is more expensive and clamps are cheap)

Thanks!

I should've mentioned iPhone, but I'm pretty sure Kishi DOES have an iphone version, it's just twenty-thirty dollars more because of course it is

The combat in Guardians of the Galaxy is almost too much. You have all these enemies that you have to scan, 4 teammates with different abilities on top of your special powers and your elemental attacks. Then they have a bunch of combat interactables which are super janky.

You can make it so the game freezes when you’re picking abilities, which helps. I’m gonna do that for a new game plus so that maybe I’ll actually use star lords skills

Crank up the slider on the delay when choosing abilities. It'll be a full stop

I've been going through my backlog instead of just buying Elden Ring, trying out older optimized for x/enhanced for x games and overall there are some serious upgrades. some look like completely different games. xbox does it again!!!!!

has anyone made a controller through design lab? i'm debating doing something nice/stupid for myself now that one controller has succumbed to stick drift

I may have missed stick drift chat but my white core controller has it on the right stick. it's not as severe as my switch lite (which, lol, gently caress) but it's annoying when my camera decides to tilt at random. I was more surprised that it happened at all, tbh

so I might get a design lab one. an elite feels too high-falutin' for me

anyway I might play a life is strange game now! Thanks Game Pass

Just glancing at DLC there is no threat to the DOA franchise's horn levels

priznat posted:

holy cow this is a great idea, I should try that. It is just really un-fun for me to play (although I have never enjoyed the MK mechanics, always been more of a street fighter fan)

the only reason I can play MK with an iota of competence is because I love Injustice, but since I have zero attachment to the MK franchise I just let the AI go loose and I explore the crypt krypt. I don't even have the story installed

sea of thieves runs really well on cloud gaming. cloud gaming in general works way better than I thought it would

but I still do a lot of swapping games between internal storage and a big ol HDD

On PC Game Pass, anyone ever move a drive and have gamepass just find all the installed stuff?

Thankfully because they changed it to allow installs to wherever I have a secondary SATA SSD drive with my games on that (D:\XBoxGames) and I'm building a new PC and hoping I can just move the drive over and it will "just work" so I don't have to redownload a bunch of poo poo :haw:

on this note, I'm still not convinced Control ever uninstalled because it was before they let you see the file folders

My series x is horizontal in my tv hutch. It stays cool and quiet as long as I remember to open the door to the cabinet. If I forget, it reminds me by turning the fans up and sounding like a playstation during a moderately complex graphics sequence.

this is what I do (i never shut the cabinet on the system when it's in use), but I'm actually hearing my fans for the first time and I got spooked

You should not hide your series X in some cabinet, it should be free.

Never use any of those products on any console. The systems are very carefully designed and heavily tested in both hardware and software to ensure that operating temperatures remain in spec in any reasonable environment. Best case they will do absolutely nothing but in the vast majority of cases they restrict airflow and can put extra burden on the fans working against already turbulent air. For the Series X, a few inches of space around the back and top is all that is needed (as well as enough airflow to ensure that space can cool as well).

I have never even booted up the game. I think a friend may have played it while he was checking on my cat

I tried to watch my War Games DVD on my Series X a few months ago and the picture was, for lack of a better word, vibrating between two slightly different sizes several times a second. I had to pull out the old Xbox 360 and use that instead to make it viewable.

I've had something like this with Amazon Prime where the aspect ratio bounces back and forth, but normalizes after a while. Anyone else? It may only affect rented/owned videos
