Well if you get around to it, play on normal or below. Have fun, don't be miserable.

[fiery python]

As I said, talking about 360s is perfectly fine. What is not fine is what you asked about originally which got deleted by the bot - you know exactly what that is.

[candid knot]

I think it’s because they are to old now and would prefer people to focus on the newer gen consoles

[jovial forge]

ah okay

[mellow roost]

The one saving grace about this is you can export your end-game characters, so what I did was I took my PC, cloned it 5 times for a full party, and then just went invisible the whole game and basically got to the end in a couple hours.

[fiery python]

Merino, stop giving misinformation. I have said very clearly discussion of 360s is fine.

[candid knot]

Oh

I was just trying to help you

[mellow roost]

I can't even begin to imagine playing LoB on a fresh character. I'd rather die.

[idle spear]

Ow I will be on normal when I do definitely. I don't usually play games on hard these days

[cerulean basin]

LoB?

[mellow roost]

Legacy of Bhaal, it's the max difficulty.

[fiery python]

If I need help, I'll ask.

[glossy tapir]

Random opinion but I think the series x could of been better

[candid knot]

Thanks for letting me know.

[mellow roost]

I played through first on Normal difficulty and had a lot of fun. The dice felt a little stacked in my favor at times, but hard fights were definitely still hard fights, so it all felt worthwhile.

LoB is just swinging at basic kobolds with your xp cap'd party for 10-20 seconds, which is just absurd.

[candid knot]

I couldn’t agree any less.

[tired crescent]

I love my series x

[candid knot]

I’ve scraped my initials on the back of my series x

[mellow roost]

My characters literally can't get any stronger and they struggle against basic stuff. Whoever designed Legacy of Bhaal difficulty must hate people. 😂

[green laurel]

What could have been better

[cerulean basin]

In what way?

[glossy tapir]

Issue is I feel like the Series X is just another version of the Xbox One X

[candid knot]

It’s 10x more powerful

[cerulean basin]

Well, yeah, it's the next generation console after the One X, unsurprisingly

[green laurel]

Please Kylie don't die over it

[idle spear]

It's nothing like One X though

[open flume]

it does have similar letters inthe name

[candid knot]

The ||360|| was a game changer

[open flume]

it is made with similar plastic

[sullen forum]

We did build it to run the same operating system to make it an easier transition

[cerulean basin]

It has much better graphics, much faster loading speeds, faster networking, faster processor... and it can run next-gen games, which you cannot do on a One X, most importantly

[glossy tapir]

Doesn't feel unique in terms of features and having a pc hasn't given me a reason to play Series X when every series x game is on pc aswell

[open flume]

cries in nintendo

[glossy tapir]

Would of been nice to have series x games that are not on pc

[fiery python]

I don't see quick resume on my One X. That's pretty unique.

[cerulean basin]

Well, that's a neat advantage for you then, if you can decide to play the games you want, where you want.

[green laurel]

2 things. The world didn't help in 2020

And consoles haven't changed now it's just like getting a new pc part

I also use my series x as a mini table for my drink

If you're looking for someone to play with, please go to #587074461770186765

[cerulean basin]

Why? Microsoft's approach to the gaming market is to bring their games to even more screens, not less

[glossy tapir]

Unique but I barely see myself using it

[open flume]

sell the xbox. buy an ouya

[fiery python]

It's not very useful for drinks. I find you can't really resume those after a while.

[idle spear]

Ouya is OP

[cerulean basin]

Sure, but you already have a PC. Not everyone has a gaming PC or prefers to play from a PC.
Basically, not everyone is like you.

[candid knot]

PS4 to ps5 was a massive jump compared to Xbox one x to series x

[open flume]

i quickly resume drinking during every hour that starts with a number

[green laurel]

Uh

[fiery python]

The Series X is a massive jump too. The only difference is that the UI remained the same for a smoother transition.

[cerulean basin]

Now you're just making things up. The jump is the same between Xbox One and Series X.

[fiery python]

I'll take the PS4 UI over the PS5 any day because it's unnecessarily convoluted.

[glossy tapir]

Doesn't feel good enough to call it the next generation, don't get me wrong it is a massive improvement interms of performance but a unique new dashboard would of been nice

[candid knot]

My opinion isn’t making stuff up?

[green laurel]

Dash doesn't define the generation

[fiery python]

PS5 got controller updates. Series X got things like Smart Delivery, Quick Resume etc. They're both significant improvements over the last generation.

[cerulean basin]

So what else would it need to be called next generation in your opinion?

[tired crescent]

never really cared about having a new dashboard that much

[glossy tapir]

Take PS5 for a example they made the controller very unique with adaptive triggers and such

[cerulean basin]

Except you're having opinions about something that is very easily quantifiable: the jump between PS4 and PS5 is technically the same as between One X and Series X. Opinions don't matter much if they contradict cold, hard facts.

[glossy tapir]

I ain't making stuff up

[long maple]

also there is more things the consoles can boost than just what you can see.. which will start showing up in games in the future

big thing is AI going forward. give NPC's more things to do that what we have now

[candid knot]

UI is what will catch the average gamers eye , the series x is almost like buying the exact same car but it has upgraded stuff inside

[green laurel]

Lol

[candid knot]

So it will never truly feel “new”

[fiery python]

Sure, the PS5 controller stuff is cool. I like it a lot and I would definitely like to see Xbox do something similar. But at the same time, I wish I had quick resume on my PS5 and a less convoluted back compat system, along with a better UI.

[glossy tapir]

That's the issue when I buy a console I expect something unique and different

[cerulean basin]

Here's another take then: having the same UI makes it feel right at home for those upgrading, not having to learn something new, and ensures that all games run exactly the same as on the previous gen.

[fiery python]

They each have their pros and cons, but just because one platform does something doesn't make the other any lesser of an upgrade.

[cerulean basin]

But hey, if UI is what will make a console feel next-gen for you, then just wait until the upcoming dashboard UI refresh. Instant next-gen! 😛

[mellow roost]

The jump from One to Series was huge. I'm not too sure why you think it wasn't.

I mean... The Xbox One was still 900p-1080p standard, 30 FPS. The Series X and PS5 can do up to 4K, and up to 120 FPS.

That's a humongous leap.

[long maple]

yeah Quick Resume is my most used feature

[candid knot]

For sure I have a series x and ps5 and I like them just as much as each other

[tired crescent]

Highly agree

[glossy tapir]

Also with PS5 I have a excuse to play it because it has games for ps4 and ps5 that are not on pc

[green laurel]

That's like saying every phone is the same in its family of devices because ui the same

IPhone 9 is the same as iPhone 14

[candid knot]

No one said it wasn’t big alone but we are comparing the jump that the ps4 to the ps5 had to the Xboxes

[cerulean basin]

Which as everyone here has argued, it is a comparable jump

[candid knot]

I disagree

Which is ok please don’t attack me for disagreeing

[fiery python]

No one is attacking you.

[glossy tapir]

Also the naming of the Series X is kinda stupid

[cerulean basin]

If that wasn't the case, you'd be seeing tons of videos complaining about how games on PS5 have next-gen upgrades while the Series X does not. But... that's not the case, is it?

[candid knot]

I said that in advance.

[fiery python]

It's called a discussion, offering counter points with differing opinions.

[green laurel]

puts down pitchfork

[candid knot]

I’ve had a lot of “discussions” on here that turn into arguments

[cerulean basin]

Some multi-platform games run better on PS5, some games run better on Series X.
That should tell you enough about how much of a comparable jump it is between both console gens.

[green laurel]

I get what you mean Sony makes it feel different but that's not saying xbox isn't an equal upgrade

[candid knot]

Having an opinion nowadays tends to = you’re wrong

[long maple]

and we still havent seen what these consoles can do

[idle spear]

Not sure what the argument here is. The hardware is significantly faster than last generation.

[candid knot]

Who’s arguing 😭

[fiery python]

And too many people nowadays hide behind the 'it's my opinion' argument when they are objectively wrong.

[long maple]

then you got articles everywhere about mid-gen refreshes. just going to confuse more people

[mellow roost]

Argument, meaning a talking point, not the fighting definition.

[cerulean basin]

I could have an opinion that it's 2020. But the facts are out there to show that it is indeed the year 2023. Is my opinion wrong?

[candid knot]

So me saying I think the ps5 was a bigger jump from the ps4 compared to the Xboxes is objectively wrong now?

[green laurel]

No it's not its 2020 day 965

Easy lol

[fiery python]

Yes

[cerulean basin]

Yup, you hit right on the spot!

[fiery python]

Because if the Series X wasn't a comparable jump, it wouldn't be able to play the same games.

[candid knot]

Opinion:
a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
"that, in my opinion, is right"

[kind heron]

Anyone else getting random message requests from bot accounts with “potentially offensive content” attached?

[candid knot]

Playing the same games isn’t everything

[fiery python]

You can have a valid opinion that you think certain features are a nice addition to the new generation hardware that are sadly not available on the other platform but to say it's not as big a jump is factually incorrect.

[long maple]

Yeah loads of them spam messages

[candid knot]

I will stick with my opinion thanks

[cerulean basin]

You could argue that you prefer the next-gen features of PS5 like the DualSense or its UI over the features of Series XS like Quick Resume, Auto HDR and FPS Boost.
See, THAT is an understandable opinion.

[kind heron]

That’s a shame.

[fiery python]

Yes, but not every statement that you make can be considered opinion.

'I prefer X to Y because I enjoy Z more' is an opinion.

Saying that one piece of hardware that has almost equal comparable specs to another is not as much of a jump is not opinion. It's arguing against simple facts and specs.

If anything, the Series X is a much bigger jump when compared to the base XB1 than the PS5 is compared to the PS4.

[cerulean basin]

Game developers manage to create next-gen games for either console, with the same features in almost every single case. How is that not comparable?

[candid knot]

Going back to my EXACT comment I said that the jump from ps4 to ps5 was bigger than the jump from Xbox one x to series x Because statistically it was as the Xbox one x was much more powerful than the base ps4

[cerulean basin]

So you're choosing to ignore that there's a PS4 Pro then?

[candid knot]

My opinion isn’t “the ps5 is stronger than the series x “

[tired hare]

👀 y'all deep af

[long maple]

only reason we got Xbox One X was due to more 4K TV's being available at that time

[candid knot]

No I specifically said what I said

[fiery python]

So now you're just making unequal comparisons that make no sense.

[green laurel]

🍿

[hushed hound]

This topic is nonsense, lol

[cerulean basin]

That was such a weird backpedaling. I'm just gonna drop out of this. I don't have the energy to deal with this.

[fluid light]

true. the only thing i like more abouy playstation is their controllers

[green laurel]

Ps5 isn't as powerful as series x so it arguably isn't as big a jump still

[candid knot]

Yeah thanks for respecting my opinion

[night rapids]

A was a bigger jump to C than B was to C. Got it

[tired hare]

UI for PS4 is like looking at a government phone icon

[idle spear]

Well One X has a better GPU than PS4 Pro so not surprising. Both of them are still a generation apart from PS5 and SX hardware wise.

[hushed hound]

Imagine fighting over some piece of plastic 😐

[tired hare]

ong

[fluid light]

i mean, an opinion is an opinion, but in MY opinion, it wasnt that big a jump, and the next gen consoles aren't all theyre hyped up to be

Isn’t the series x more metal than plastic ?

Gotcha I appreciate you respecting my opinion tho

I'm not focused on the controller debacle but the jumps from consoles is what caught my eye.

By end of year we should see what the consoles can do really starting to push

I'm not gonna argue much about it lol. I'm just waiting for the good games to release later this year.

[glossy tapir]

Though I really love the xbox elite controller despite preferring the ps5 controller

[fluid light]

ah i see. in terms of compatibility, ye xbox controllers better, but a ps5 controller just feels 10x better in my opinion i need a ps5 controller that connects to xbox

[long maple]

Microsoft told the UK regulators that 10 years is enough time for Sony to develop their own alternative to CoD

[idle spear]

Would like to see Socom, resistance and Killzone come back. Remember playing Killzone 2 a lot online when that came out

Only for basic functionality. If you play a PC game that has DualSense functionality you only get the haptics and adaptive triggers if you're connected via USB, whereas an Xbox controller will function fully via bluetooth or wireless.

Imagine if Rockstar X enhanced GTA 4 and FPS Boost RDR1 and RDR2 😍

[tired crescent]

Gta IV does have an fps boost on series x

[idle spear]

GTA4 is the third highest game on Metacritic tho?

Had super high reviews back in the day

[languid frost]

GTA 4 has 60fps, RDR1 has 4K. It's weird

like you would think if you enhance RDR1, you would also be able to enhance GTA4? its the same engine?

granted FPS boosting RDR1 would probably break stuff

[long maple]

RDR1 was One X enhanced right?

[idle spear]

Yeah it's 4K on One X

[languid frost]

yeah and its really nice

[idle spear]

Maybe it has some bugs at 60 FPS. I know GTA4 and Bully has some game breaking stuff at 60 in some points

[languid frost]

most likely, I know LA Noire was capped to 30fps even on PC and modders had to do a decent amount of work to get it to play correctly uncapped

[idle spear]

Yeah I played LA Noire on PC last year was alot of work getting it running properly on a modern PC. 60FPS caused issues for sure

[languid frost]

I have a feeling Rockstar will re-release GTA 4 and RDR1 for Series/PS5 with proper 60fps and the bugs fixed
at some point anyway

the 360 versions definitely have limitations

[cinder veldt]

I wouldn't hope too much hope, maybe but its less likely imo

And honestly does the new versions ever fix most bugs, not really. But it would be nice if they fixed the deal breaking bug in GTA IV

[languid frost]

yeah probably if it was going to happen, it would have happened by now

[idle spear]

Yeah maybe, hopefully with more effort than the GTA definitive edition. Makes me nervous if they do another remaster

[languid frost]

yeah i would just like the LA Noire treatment, only with 60fps

i feel like all 3 games hold up really well. I suppose they were great looking games at the time

[cerulean basin]

Urk, all electricity went out in my entire street

[idle spear]

They look decent yeah. GTA4 had pretty great physics in particular

[tired hare]

[tired hare]

Does FPS boost draw more power?

[cinder veldt]

Bikes wants to have a talk with you

[cerulean basin]

I would always have so much trouble on that first mission where you have to use a motorbike and chase a gang

[idle spear]

It has been a year or so since I last played. Went through it and the expansion though

[long maple]

oh nice another new program from ID Xbox :- https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/03/21/id-xbox-developer-acceleration-program-underrepresented-creators/

[tired hare]

?

[long maple]

dont believe so, cause resolution gets dropped to keep the steady framerate.

details like that dont usually get shared, we just know it does some magic on the game to make it believe its running at a different FPS

[tired hare]

Nice

[languid frost]

for some titles it definitely does

[merry palm]

Oh dear. You won't be able to anything but take a nap

[languid frost]

really any title that was 4K 60 on One X is going to pull less power on Series X at 60 vs 120

[long maple]

FPS Boost hasnt been a thing in awhile though the techniques they were using dont work anymore. they may revisit in the future but have to wait and see

stopped not long after BC closed

[languid frost]

GTA IV actually needs the opposite, its an uncapped game that needs the ability to lock it to 30fps so you can finish it

its also horrible to play on One X without VRR

FPS is all over the place

[long maple]

I played it on 360

[idle spear]

Yeah the original game didn't have a framerate cap so just unintended side effect of more powerful hardware. Dev would need to patch it.

[long maple]

yeah May 2008 was the last time I played the game. and then June 2010 for Lost n the Damned DLC. never finished either DLC though

[languid frost]

maybe Xbox could add a compatibility option to force half vsync but it's pretty rare a game has this problem

[idle spear]

Bully has the same problem with the quick time events and a part where you can't throw a snowball to complete the mission. Luckily just spamming the pause button works as a work around

[long maple]

another game I own and never finished

[idle spear]

I finished all of them, they are great games tbh

[cinder veldt]

I think it would probably be too much work for one game

Honestly it's either play on 360 or get lucky

[long maple]

back on 360 I got into bad habits as I only got it in 2008, I was just going through so many games to see which ones I liked, then along came game rentals

[languid frost]

I do wish Xbox had more compatibility options. Like VRR doesnt work properly in some games and you have no way to turn it off on a game by game basis

ideally those games would just let the console know they dont support VRR and it would turn off automatically, but I don't know if that's even possible

[idle spear]

The PS4 Pro had a boost mode you could toggle on and off to prevent those weird issues like on GTA4 but was quite rare to ever encounter anything like that

[languid frost]

honestly forcing an FPS cap would be better then limiting performance

[scarlet river]

Cap it at 30. The human eye can't see anything over 30 anyway. Should also limit resolution to about 720 since we can't see anything more than that!

[sage ice]

Game by game is up to the dev. Not Xbox

[languid frost]

for some reason MCC doesn't even let you disable 120fps. You have to go into system settings and switch to 60hz mode. Always seemed bizarre to me that they wouldn't just put a toggle in the settings. Halo 2A stutters a lot at 120fps if you don't have VRR.

[languid frost]

VRR is the signal the Xbox sends to your monitor. Unless Xbox lets games disable the feature, devs wouldn't be able to control that. PS5 has a toggle in compatibility options for each game, and games have to opt into the feature.

Ow man that is disappointing. BC2 and 1943 were fantastic

[granite verge]

Make a new Mirror's Edge you cowards 😭

Reminds me, I need to check and see if I have ME1 digitally or just physical

[cerulean basin]

Damn, still no electricity in my entire street. It's been over an hour. What do people normally do in this situation? How did people survive before electricity and not get bored? 😂

[long maple]

quests havent updated yet wonder what the next 250 pointer will be

[cerulean basin]

Doesn't help that I'm sick at home wrapped in blankets

[granite verge]

Feel better soon

[cerulean basin]

Thanks

[cinder veldt]

Sad to see, would go for all achievements if it wasn’t for me having no work on those, but I swear a while back mirrors edge was mentioned or something but does that even have online stuff?

[sullen forum]

I usually nap 😂

[long maple]

yeah would be leaderboards and that I think

[molten briar]

read a book

[long maple]

in the dark?

[sullen forum]

Open the curtains if it's daylight, candles, portable lamps, or flashlights if it's dark out

[molten briar]

or kindle/ereader with built in light

[sullen forum]

or those little booklights

[cinder veldt]

Yeah that’s reasonable

[dull escarp]

[night rapids]

Yes. People could say they were there but no info until embargo date

[long maple]

Colteastwood said they werent allowed to record anything but apparently more footage is being shown tomorrow, and they can talk about certain parts of the game

and I know Gamertagradio with Parris and Danny have something going on tomorrow.

Hopefully they at least put them on sale

[long maple]

yeah everything is linked

[tired hare]

6 yrs on xbox and i can redeem 100 robux....
i thought i had more

[radiant sparrow]

what's d2r?

[cinder veldt]

Has rewards even been a thing for that long, atleast the ones that is integrated with xbox

[tired hare]

idk

all i know is 6yrs of 6hrs a day on xbox and i have 1700 points

[long maple]

yeah I been signed up for years now.. apparently Rewards was created in 2005

[cinder veldt]

Yeah but it hasn’t been integrated for xbox since that?

[rugged pivot]

Anybody wanna play?

[long maple]

its changed alot over the years.. yeah 2015-2016

[cinder veldt]

That’s still a while ago tbh

[night rapids]

Regular rewards are pretty messed up this month 2. The new games one for 2500 and EA still aren't tracking

[long maple]

yep

[night rapids]

I submitted a ticket 6 days ago and was told yesterday that support is taking longer than normal be patient 😂

[tired hare]

tbf do u not gotta spend 40 quid

[long maple]

oh yeah I saw that reply lol

[night rapids]

Tbf, I spent my money, I know how they work. They still aren't tracking

[tired hare]

wdym aint tracking

[night rapids]

I spent the money and didn't get the points. What's not to understand here?

[tired hare]

oh right

[long maple]

yeah might pickup another game soon get some more points

[tired hare]

I thought u were talking abt getting points without games or sum

[night rapids]

I bought a few small cute indies that were on my radar for filler games between reviews

[long maple]

I havent bought any Indie games in ages

[tired hare]

last game i bought (pre order) was gta expanded and enhanced

[long maple]

my little riding champion was the last one lol

[night rapids]

Happy to see Venba is coming to game pass . I don't think it was announced for game pass last I saw

[long maple]

was yesterday they announced it

[cinder veldt]

That’s the last game I pre ordered, not bought tho

[tired hare]

thats the last game for both for me so
and its been abt 2yrs since launch or am i trippin?

[night rapids]

yeah, I saw Venba coming to all consoles and was hoping for game pass, so that makes me happy. I've been bugging them to make a cookbook available

[foggy skiff]

hi

[cinder veldt]

1

[tired hare]

oh ok

but still a full year without buying a game

[foggy skiff]

last game I bought was Fallout 76 on Steam

a few days ago

[tired hare]

last steam game was among us when it was at its peak

[foggy skiff]

last new releases I bought were probably Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring

wait, no, it ws TLOU remake

[dark sparrow]

That's a reminder to get ready for once we finish Doomsday Criminal Mastermind, we do the og one

[tired hare]

last horizon game i got was probably 3 (jk)

[foggy skiff]

the horizon racing game?

[tired hare]

yep

[dark sparrow]

But do remember:
These heists were made with the 360 version of GTA in mind, so we can use that to our advantage.

[foggy skiff]

i never owned any of those, i was talking about the one where you fight robots

[tired hare]

1 number just brought back my entire childhood
is that bad?

[tired hare]

ik i was jk

[foggy skiff]

please disable pings when replying, thank you

[tired hare]

srry, will do
its a bad habit

[foggy skiff]

🙂

[tired hare]

She said it, its going down

[dark sparrow]

At least to me, the original heists feel more like classic Rockstar design, more than the Doomsday Heist. Don't get me wrong, I do like their modern take on Heists, but the original ones feel more cohesive to me.

[tired hare]

best heists in order
Fleeca (controversial ik) - Pac Standard - series a funding - casino - act 2 - act 1 - cayo - act 3 - prison break

lmk if i missed any

[dark sparrow]

Tbh Prison Break isn't that bad once you realize what ur doing

[tired hare]

that never happened

i just gave up and my friend hosted them all for me instead

[sterile sequoia]

Isnt the fleeca heist the first one with lester?

[tired hare]

yup 2 player aswell

[dark sparrow]

Pilot: Fly Behind Jet
Prisoner: Let Guard carry you while you defend the target (idk how to spell his name)
Guard: Carry Prisoner out with your overpowered weapons
Demolition: Speedrun getting the bus to Sandy Shores, and then help the Prison team escape

[sterile sequoia]

That heist is a fun one

[cinder veldt]

Let’s not jump on that too quickly shall we

[tired hare]

I played on 360, my most op weapon was carbine rifle

[dark sparrow]

Sooner it's done, sooner you don't have to worry about it.

[cinder veldt]

I want free time also 😉

[dark sparrow]

The OG heists aren't that bad, swag.
It's just patience.

[tired hare]

i was 12, it wasnt patience

[sterile sequoia]

I did alot of the fleeca heist with randoms

[cinder veldt]

That might have had something to do with it

[dark sparrow]

We've had 7 years since the update launched, and that means we got a lot of better weapons and better armored vehicles.

[cinder veldt]

Yeah, but it will still use a weekend or two of my time 😛

[tired hare]

tbf the karuma is prob still best for og heists

[dark sparrow]

The Speedrun WR of the heists is only 3 hours and 47 minutes

[cunning bluff]

I just got a Xbox cereal add what did I just watch🤣

[cunning bluff]

Anyone else get a Xbox cerial add?

[long maple]

I watched it earlier on twitter.

[cunning bluff]

I got one half way through a video

[woeful sinew]

I don’t have specific genres. I just wanna find a good game.

[limber carbon]

Yup, just saw you posted it as well 😅

[woeful sinew]

Only games I won’t play are horror

[tired hare]

farming sim
it sounds dry but when u try it ts oddly fun

[cunning bluff]

Now I really want to try it frosted sheets looks nice

[woeful sinew]

I’ve tried it.. I never could really figure it out which sucked.

[cunning bluff]

Are they in the uk?

[woeful sinew]

Simulators are fun but the amount of time it takes makes me so bored

[tired hare]

try again on new world, and use tutorials

[long maple]

its a fake cereal.. they are Xbox Canada promoting Elite Series v2 and other Design Labs for the Elite

[tired hare]

its hard to start but when u do its easy but fun

[cunning bluff]

Is Microsoft flight simulator on Xbox one?

[long maple]

Xbox does crazy adverts like that they even got songs for Game Pass too

[cinder veldt]

Not natively, but xcloud has it

[long maple]

no Flight Sim is a Series/PC title. and yeah Cloud only for Xbox One

1st party Xbox One is non-existent after April

[woeful sinew]

The thing that sucks is I don’t have a segate ssd so I gotta transfer a game I probably won’t play (series x/s version) which is annoying.

[cunning bluff]

I’ll just try slime rancher

[long maple]

Slime Rancher 2 is also Series only lol

[cunning bluff]

Ik

[long maple]

Xbox Ones only have the option to Cloud stream.. still good though tbh

[tired hare]

not on 2mbps

[cunning bluff]

I can’t use cloud I have regular gamepass

[idle spear]

Yeah I use a 4TB drive with my series X and transfer the games over when I want to play again for some of them

[final cove]

I would constantly keep an eye out for one of those things to go on a big sale

Shredders is a fun game on gp

[idle spear]

Depends what genre of games you are looking for

[desert sonnet]

Yea Shredders Revenge was good

[cinder veldt]

They are, but keep in mind never compare speedrun numbers to what your team can do

[tired hare]

and descenders

skate 3 on ea play if u got that
JUST cuz its xbox 360 doesnt mean it cant be good

[dark sparrow]

Yes, but based on stats, if we do try our hardest, we could theoretically beat it in a day.

[cinder veldt]

The thing is I don’t have a day or time to sit straight like that

[autumn viper]

There’s no way all of us will be on long enough to complete it in one day, considering timezones and how late some in the group wake up.

[kind heron]

Halo Infinite

[tired hare]

Both speedrunners and casual players have skill issues, if a speedrunner has a skill issue it only sets them back 2ish hours, but if a casual player has a skill issue it may set them back a day+

[cunning bluff]

Tried it wasn’t that good

[autumn viper]

I don’t see it taking longer than one weekend, but to squeeze it into one day is a bit hopeful

[cinder veldt]

Yeah a weekend is reasonable since it’s only one playthrough

[autumn viper]

I had a better word and forgot it lol

[dark sparrow]

[autumn viper]

No, it was fancier

[cunning bluff]

Ima go bye

[desert sonnet]

[autumn viper]

About as fancy but a different word lol

[tired hare]

Fancily insane?

[autumn viper]

I’ll think of it by the start of April probably

[dark sparrow]

Doomsday Heist is 3 Heists, 12 Setups, and 14 Preps.

[autumn viper]

Yes

[cinder veldt]

With way different content 😛

[autumn viper]

If those speed runs are the fastest, 4 hours would probably actually take us about 8-12

[dark sparrow]

It goes from stupid easy to how the hell you supposed to not die.

[tired hare]

Rescue ulp.

Avenger
Im sorry to hear that

[dark sparrow]

Avenger isn't that bad tbh

[cinder veldt]

Avenger easy after a few plays tbh

[autumn viper]

Rescuing ULP isn’t bad, nor is the Avenger… Rescuing ULP can be harder once the game makes you fall off of things

I’ve fallen off of ladders for no reason before lol, not pleasant

[dark sparrow]

Our fail there was because some random enemy 1 shot me

[tired hare]

excuses excuses (jk)

[autumn viper]

But before that, when we had to restart three times, was because the game made me miss the ladder twice, then made me jump off the ladder and over the railing

[cinder veldt]

And that’s things you can expect from R*

[dark sparrow]

That's why I love the no ragdoll glitch, as it can let you survive any fall as long as you have a parachute

[tired hare]

I failed once because of the servers going down for "an update" it was a pc security fix and i was on xbox

[long maple]

[tired hare]

It was a single player speedrun (100%) and I was 8 hrs in

I'm glad the game is doing well, I enjoyed it

[tired hare]

I was in story mode and i got kicked to main menu for pc update

You doomed

[cinder veldt]

Pick one Anchel 😛

[autumn viper]

Not me… I’m too young/uncultured I guess

[tired hare]

idk how to play but the one to the right of the bottom 1

[mellow roost]

Minesweeper is super easy to learn if you're ever interested.

Each number is how many bombs (if any) are surrounding that square. The 1 on the bottom right, for example, only has one unclicked square surrounding it, so it must be a bomb.

[cerulean basin]

Used to be the game that came with Windows eons ago

[tired hare]

the square underneath 1 is unclicked?

[mellow roost]

It's not.

[cerulean basin]

The only ones left are the top left ones

[autumn viper]

The clicked ones have no dimension if I’m understanding correctly

Like they look flat

[cinder veldt]

Anchel made me do it

[merry palm]

You do learn the patterns, but that one above is evil

[cerulean basin]

This turned out to be a better test of age than I thought 😛

[merry palm]

Okokok but there is a better minesweeper game

Lemme grab it

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-treasure-hunt/9wzdncrfhw9g

You are welcome

Good bye the next 5 hours.

I had to remove it from my laptop

[long maple]

ah yeah great game that one

[cerulean basin]

Had no idea about that one 😮

[fluid creek]

Treasure Hunt is great

i can't even keepit installed

i'll get distracted

😂

[merry palm]

Yep

Just 10 minutes. Turns into 4 hours

[cerulean basin]

With all those comments, I'm starting to feel like you should say "I'm sorry" rather than "I'm welcome" 😛

[merry palm]

Lol

[mellow roost]

Played a quick game on beginner just for reference. The last square was middle left, flagged it instead of clicked it, but either way, super simple.

[mellow roost]

I just saw a TikTok of a goth person riding a tractor on a farm and someone said they were planting Korn.

I want off this ride. 💀

[merry palm]

I got my first non funeral black dress

It has bats on it

[wanton jolt]

Their album artwork is a scarecrow

[autumn viper]

I’d love some Korn, thank you very much

[merry palm]

I have a single very plain and tasteful black dress for funerals. But I never wear it otherwise. Too boring

[wanton jolt]

Well hope you never have to wear it

[merry palm]

Wore it twice during the pandemic 😞

[wanton jolt]

covid?

[autumn viper]

I feel like I know who you’re referencing Kylie, in terms of the person in the TikTok

[merry palm]

Mhm

[limber carbon]

Just saw this and its a great game. Now how will I divide my time for chess? 😅

[autumn viper]

I can’t remember her name but I think I’ve seen TikTok’s from her before

[merry palm]

I have the best chess game ever.

So

[limber carbon]

Woops - sorry for the ping 😦 - so sorry

[merry palm]

How do you feel about 5d chess?

[merry palm]

[limber carbon]

Sounds challenging - I hope its not too hard

[merry palm]

Trippy loved it. Even if he says different

Yeah not the same person, but cool nonetheless. I think goths are pretty cool ngl, plus the music is great imo

[desert sonnet]

Don't do it

[merry palm]

It's a great game, don't let him fool you

[open flume]

[merry palm]

Look at the amazing tags

Treasure hunt. Yes

Ooh no

[open flume]

[merry palm]

The multiplayer is hilarious

[wanton jolt]

[merry palm]

[dim hamlet]

thank you im sorry

[tired hare]

dw

[hushed hound]

Well on Xbox Store is as well 4,99$ too so, can't be that bad

[autumn viper]

As long as it wasn’t previously purchased with stolen credentials. It might not be immediate, but who knows what could come of that. That’s why I only buy from trusted and official retailers.

[hushed hound]

Eneba site is not like this, i haven't got scams from it yet, i don't fully trust it too

[autumn viper]

Yet is always the key word

[hushed hound]

If somthing bad happens i would let you guys know

[frosty lintel]

Can you talk to support about suspensions as well as submitting an approval or is it just one or the other?

[weary solar]

Nobody here is able to assist with Enforcement actions. Follow the link provided in the Enforcement message or at https://enforcement.xbox.com/ for more information or assistance.

Additional information about enforcement, how to file a report against another player, etc, can be read about here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/friends-social-activity/browse#enforcement

[halcyon stratus]

you can not talk to support about suspensions

[frosty lintel]

I did that in the past when I was falsely banned (and had it revoked).

[astral falcon]

support has no connection to enforcement

[halcyon stratus]

the support people and the enforcement people are not hte same.
so.... no

[frosty lintel]

Well what happened with me then?

[astral falcon]

coincidence

[halcyon stratus]

unless you are talking about a specifc game company support that you talked to, as opposed to xbox/microsoft...

[night rapids]

magic

[frosty lintel]

I accidentally got my friend a communication ban earlier today by taking a screenshot without noticing that he has automatic upload to the whole internet, so got a week-long suspension for it.

[halcyon stratus]

like blizzard's support people could look at bans from world of warcraft and help sometimes

[sage ice]

so you are using their account?

[frosty lintel]

I'm round his house.

[cerulean basin]

I cannot even begin to imagine how awful it must be to deal with enforcement issues

[night rapids]

you were playing o your friends account then? probably not a good move

[astral falcon]

no one here can help you @frosty lintel we're moving on now 🙂

[frosty lintel]

Sorry, yes, just move on.

[night rapids]

why does it feel so late when it's only 1pm? ugh

[sage ice]

it isnt even 1 for me yet... I need 330 to come along

[native fern]

it feels like it's 5 pm

[obsidian chasm]

why do u need to pay after the term of a xbox gamepass giftcode, its stupid bruh its called a giftcode for a reason 😭

[merry palm]

its a trial code

[tired hare]

Can someone help

[weary solar]

For support, please initially refer to #795454807250173972 and see if you can resolve your issue on your own. If you are unable to resolve your issue still after that, refer to #233805809346150400. Do note that this is community sourced support and there is no official support here on discord. As such, people will assist if/when they are able to but if you have issues regarding your account and/or billing, please reach out to official support for assistance.

[sage ice]

you dont pay, you need a payment method for when it renews

[obsidian chasm]

i dont have a debit card or credit card
so yeah rip

[cerulean basin]

Then you cannot use the trial

[tired hare]

Same

[halcyon stratus]

I'm an hour behind, but agree that it already has been a long day 😦

[obsidian chasm]

sadly

[halcyon stratus]

I was working until like 7:30 or 8 last night, and then started today with 2 hours of talking meetings

[obsidian chasm]

its 12:40 am where i am, india moment

[halcyon stratus]

you should go to bed 😛

[obsidian chasm]

lol seems like it, how old are u btw considering uve got meetings and stuff 💀

[halcyon stratus]

old enough to know better, too young to care

[obsidian chasm]

hm ok ig

[night rapids]

that's my issue too, I had some meetings with overseas people today, so I was up way too late last night and then early today

[merry palm]

i am tired years old

This new generation of AI stuff is really digging up all the stupid people.

I just found a TikTok of someone using some AI coder thing that modeled stuff using prompts, and someone said something along the lines of AI being smarter than all of us, and another person said that this would increase video game production tenfold.

Sigh

[merry palm]

bless their hearts

[kind heron]

To be fair, the AIs are smarter than them

[halcyon stratus]

They are both right and wrong though

[merry palm]

it might, but its not smarter than people

well

some people it might be

[halcyon stratus]

A lot of common coding problems can be solved using some of these chatbots, becuase they have all of github to pull from. Many many algorityms exist.

This includes solving for things like "write a 200 line function that manipulates a mesh blah blah blah" that might take someone days to get right. The skeleton and 'close enough' gets done in 30 seconds, and then a day to clean up.

So lots of the mundane stuff becomes templates, and people can focus on the more advanced custom stuff. this is good.

[vast ermine]

ChatGPT is really good

[halcyon stratus]

i was talking about my worry about indie games and their sound tracks, voice overs, and some other topics this morning.... newcomers in to those spaces are going to have a harder time because 'somewhat acceptable' stuff can be generated in minutes instead of weeks

so "videos games take 10x less time" might not be right but "video games take less time if they don't want to do anything ground breaking" is true

[mellow roost]

Putting it that way makes sense. If it's used for just really general stuff then I can see it being helpful, but I don't know. After what's happening with AI "art" I'm kinda in the boat of just throwing the baby out with the bathwater at this point.

[halcyon stratus]

adobe released theirs this week, and it is trained only on old art that is in the public domain, so some companies are already trying to resolve copyright / theft issues

[merry palm]

thats good

[mellow roost]

That's a step in the right direction for sure.

[halcyon stratus]

some of the work that can generate slide content (flow diagrams, boxes with arrows, boring business stuff) also doesn't have copyright issues.
that can speed up the development of a pitch deck a lot - you'll end up with a lot of decks that look the same, but if they get the point across that's going to be 'good enough' for most people

it is just the next version of the SmartArt / Smart Diagrams features in powerpoint and google slides

[native fern]

this is amazing

[vast ermine]

It's the spring equinox today, time to get my cleaning started

[restive wind]

Help with?

Oh wow that's a lot XP

[inner arrow]

God damn… guess I am gonna play Overwatch here lol

[cinder veldt]

yep you are

[inner arrow]

Just for the skin. I don’t even need that much xp anymore. Already finished the battlepass

EA is gonna remove Mirrors Edge? Why?

[cinder veldt]

It's getting old

[inner arrow]

Yeah but they are removing the game because of online services… the game is a singleplayer only game

[cinder veldt]

Yeah, it's getting old, they ain't want it no more 🥲

[inner arrow]

It’s a shame. Gonna have to buy it now to keep it on xbox

[cinder veldt]

I got it for free years back, or was it also xbox one

[inner arrow]

There are two versions. Mirrors Edge 2008 and Mirrors Edge Catalyst

[vast ermine]

BFBC 1 n 2 are also leaving

[long maple]

would the leaderboards and speedrunning not class as "online" ?

[inner arrow]

The better game aka 2008 is being taken down.

[trail harness]

No fun allowed

[inner arrow]

Yes they do. But taking the whole game down from stores because of that makes no sense

[cinder veldt]

Yeah I know which games is refered to, but I asked if the 2008 version also had a new one or if it was just catalyst 😉

[vast ermine]

1943 is also leaving

[open flume]

1943 left 80 years ago

[inner arrow]

They have dedicated server lists. Another weird thing to take down but 🤷‍♂️

[long maple]

Cities Skylines finally updated to 250 points was showing 25.. guess I will play for 100 days.. that doesnt take long does it Penguin? the day/night cycle I mean

[vast ermine]

Lol

[open flume]

at 3x speed, iirc the day and night cycle length in the After Dark DLC was like 10 minutes

[long maple]

okay thanks for info. I havent played it in years.. if you cast your minds back I won a code when Aaron Greenberg used to stream on Twitch.

[trail harness]

yeah thought it might be useful

[long maple]

1001 ? lol

[tired hare]

Has anyone tried RE4 remake demo with an Elite 2 controller? Curious if you are able to fix the deadzone issue with one.

[trail harness]

thats for the PS4 version but it should be the same across platforms

[long maple]

I am so tired but I wanna get this done.. not had a nap today and not long ate dinner

[tacit robin]

i have and i didnt have ant dead zones to fix

[haughty inlet]

thanks i lost 225 points because of a error

[dire raven]

UwU

[long maple]

well yeah thats why I waited and asked on Twitter why it was 25 points

[fluid light]

TwT

[tired hare]

Have you compared how it feels between the regular series controller and Elite?

[open flume]

[tacit robin]

you shouyld still get 250 now its changed

[fluid light]

D&D movie

[tacit robin]

it was only a typo

[long maple]

yeah thats what I thought too.

[tacit robin]

nope

[long maple]

its okay had a great dinner while I was waiting

[fluid light]

Nope

[marsh fox]

Is there a way to report players in Forza? 🤔

[haughty inlet]

i did earlier because i tought it was another ponts value change

btw, it apears 250 for me, now

[cinder veldt]

Think so

unless it's only livery reporting?

[tacit robin]

exactly 250 points

[marsh fox]

These 2 guys keep crashing at me because i was 1st, they were from the same squad

[kind heron]

Why would they get reported for that?

[cinder veldt]

griefing ig

[marsh fox]

Yes

[tired hare]

I just got a Series S a month ago and I've been struggling with shooters in general. RE4 certainly requires quick and precise shooting, so I'm really on the fence about buying it. The only shooter I've played that feels right with the regular Series controller is MW2 and I'm quite sure its because aim assist is on steroids lol

[marsh fox]

It was one of those coop races

[kind heron]

So the two guys in a co-op race were working together against you? Or two guys from your squad kept crashing into you?

[cinder veldt]

I guess same team?

otherwise it would be fair play -ish

[kind heron]

True, but tbf I’ve seen people complain about fair play in games being “griefing” because they didn’t like it.

[autumn viper]

I don’t see a reason behind crashing into others… Accidentally sure, but on purpose, that’s just ridiculous imo

I find that a lot, especially during the Trial, my own teammates won’t even let off the throttle into a corner and will use me to make the turn, which just ends up slowing everyone down.

[marsh fox]

Theu literally pushed me away from the last checkpoint, both of them

[trail harness]

I only do that to AI

[autumn viper]

I do too, sometimes, but I never do it to other players

[trail harness]

one time someone tried to ram me in Forza online but my car was too fast and they hit a wall. it was pretty funny

[kind heron]

Kek

[trail harness]

it was a drag race too

[autumn viper]

Even against AI I try to race clean, but yeah sometimes I’ll be mean to the AI.

[trail harness]

Slamming into the AI is especially fun in Gran Turismo lol

[mellow roost]

I've never had much issue with people running me off the road in Forza, even when people do try.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend putting your vehicles in AWD. Solves a large majority of any traction issues, even ones caused by other players.

[trail harness]

AWD is pretty op in Forza lol

[cinder veldt]

it's ridiculous yeah, but I don't remember exactly how forza decides clean racing

[autumn viper]

It doesn’t work that much for me, the affect is about the same no matter my drivetrain… Its not even the traction that’s an issue, it’s just being shoved off the track

[inner arrow]

Australian internet is so bad… it shows me it takes 3 days to download re4 lol

[trail harness]

heavier vehicles are harder to push

[long maple]

man I need to play cities skylines more only got 3 achievements in it lol.. will play the updated version and start a new area

[autumn viper]

Most playlist races have vehicle requirements which don’t usually include large vehicles… The festival playlist is literally the only reason I’d ever play with randos

[inner arrow]

Forza is much easier if you try to ram into the ai. Ramming into cars has less speed penalty than ramming into the corner on a track. Top of that the AI sometimes doesn’t know how to respond

[trail harness]

I've seen the AI crash themselves lol

[cinder veldt]

Honestly I never have a good car within festival playlist races or online adventures

[autumn viper]

My cars are usually fine… Somewhat… I average about top 5 in the Trial normally, but I’ve been rammed into last a few times

[inner arrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/11xmyu1/gears_of_war_netflix_movie_lands_writer_jon/ Uhm… didn’t expect that

[night rapids]

Rewards has been such a mess. Dropping values for EA after people completed it, not upping them after people completed it. I hope I got the 250 not just the 25. Don't know of there is away to track as I don't pay attention that closely to each one being added

[rancid marten]

https://www.polygon.com/23650306/battlefield-bad-company-1943-servers-mirrors-edge-offline

[long maple]

also :- An earlier version of this announcement included Mirror's Edge. That was an error. We currently have no plans to remove Mirror’s Edge from digital storefronts.

[trail harness]

Rewards was giving me 504 errors earlier

[cinder veldt]

Now doom is fine

[long maple]

yeah if you on console you can see previously completed quests when you scroll down the list.

[tacit robin]

it was only a typo so you should have got the 250.

[inner arrow]

I am. Cause I love Mirrors Edge and more people need to experience it

[cinder veldt]

I remember liking the game when playing it back in like 2016

[night rapids]

I haven't seen them say it was a typo, just that it was changed. They changed EAs requirements and totals so I'm not convinced its just a typo until i see confirmation

[brazen flame]

What’s good everyone

[mellow roost]

Wtf.

[cinder veldt]

Well the Little Caesars app doesn’t show it so yeah they probably accidentally posted it early 😂

[mellow roost]

The pizza itself is...doable. Ridiculous, but doable.

The 2 liter of butter? That would cost a fortune for upkeep.

[brazen flame]

That butter will probably make me feel sick and make my heart stop😭

[night rapids]

They are talking about it on twitter and engaging with people responding

[mellow roost]

I mean I'd eat it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Other than that, I'm on a seefood diet. I see food and I eat it.

you telling me you cut the fat from your bacon? Savage 😮

[tired hare]

https://tenor.com/view/true-gif-21006811

[gray latch]

Kylie the food here is relatively bland :/

[lunar tartan]

I mean marketing at little Caesar’s might be a genius. Doing it this early will make people check their app/stores to see if it’s there and if it’s not they might just be like “I’m here might as well grab a pizza” and now they make more $$

[brazen flame]

My bff is gonna buy it

[inner arrow]

Now I am hungry

[lunar tartan]

Eat them 😛

i called my local LC and asked how much for a 2 liter of butter and they didnt know what i was talking about

miffed, i am

[mellow roost]

[lunar tartan]

See I’m telling you it’s genius

[brazen flame]

I bet it’s probably gonna be like $10

That's kinda what I'm worried about, in all honesty. 💀

Going from a super heavy Hispanic population to...uhh...Minnesota, I'm hoping I don't miss the train to flavortown too bad.

Nah see it's weird. Bacon fat is fine. I don't know why, but it's cooked in a way that doesn't make it yucky.

But on a steak or a pork chop? Barf.

[mellow roost]

It just slithers between your teeth and has this profoundly gut-wrenching sloppy crunch to it. Just...gag, dude. I don't know how people eat it.
