As neat as that map was, it probably isn’t coming back. Especially not nowadays with times

[hearty tundra]

sorry

[fluid creek]

what level

what

[hearty tundra]

badge

[mellow roost]

Battle Royale -> The Hunger Games -> Minecraft Hunger Games -> PUBG -> Fortnite -> Warzone.

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t need no stinkin badges

[mellow roost]

More or less the timeline here.

[pastel marten]

don't forget H1Z1 and the culling as well

[cinder veldt]

Wonder if they mean core badge or ambassador badge 😅

[hearty tundra]

DisKinected

[pastel marten]

i think both came out around the time that minecraft hunger games blew up

[halcyon stratus]

I liked when media was saying “the Hunger Games-like movie battle royale…”

[mellow roost]

Also if y'all haven't already, you should watch Battle Royale. It's...a bit heavier than The Hunger Games in some areas, but yeah, solid movie.

[halcyon stratus]

Hunger games was a more “fun” movie

[fallow moat]

That movie is almost 12 years old and it was solid.

[mellow roost]

This is probably the best way to put it. Battle Royale was a lot darker. Not to mention the "kids" actually looked like kids.

[obsidian kayak]

@mellow roost

[halcyon stratus]

I never read the battle royale book. I only saw the movie.

But for the hunger games series, as is often (not always) the case, the books were better

[fallow moat]

Whoops wrong emoji

[mellow roost]

God damn. That cat never skipped leg day.

[fossil breach]

Guys is dead space a good game? Seems like it's very cheap everywhere

[upper meteor]

Dead space is like halo, so yeah

[fossil breach]

Ah no multiplayer tho?

[upper meteor]

no

I think it has coop tho

So yeah it's like halo

[fossil breach]

Is cyberpunk 2077 worth it for like £18 or is cyberpunk phantom liberty worth it for £48

[grand dagger]

stop relataing it to halo😭

[mellow roost]

Dead Space is one of the greatest horror games ever made. I can't recommend it enough.

[grand dagger]

halo is way better

[upper meteor]

Everything is a halo reference

[grand dagger]

never thought of it that way

[upper meteor]

Anything you can think of, you can also relate it to halo

[halcyon stratus]

I never saw churros in halo

[granite verge]

Literally unplayable

[fossil breach]

?

[upper meteor]

you've never seen 1 because you're busy fighting aliens in space, but I assure you they exist in the halo universe

[halcyon stratus]

The update is effectively a rebuild of the entire game, making it what it should have been on day 1

[fossil breach]

Oh

So worth it or nah? I've never played cyberpunk but looks like graphics r insane

[halcyon stratus]

Omg

[calm ether]

This is my list so far:

1. Red Dead Redemption 2, 2. AC Origins, 3. Kingdom Come Deliverance, 4. AC Black Flag, 5. Red Dead Redemption 1, 6. Minecraft, 7. Grand Theft Auto 4

[long maple]

yep thats a list

[calm ether]

My favourite games list btw

[fluid creek]

didn't you just post this?

[robust socket]

Where would I go to get an Xbox accessory replaced?

[halcyon stratus]

What kind of accessory? Did it break? Did you lose it? Was it not in the package that it should have been in? Did your dog eat it? Did your cousin steal it? First party or third party?

[calm ether]

I haven't said anything in this chat all day

[thin nimbus]

What's everyone's thoughts on this?

[fluid creek]

i think that's a complicated issue that doesn't show the whole story and won't really have a constructive discussion here

[calm ether]

Completely unfair the strike system is awful

[versed swan]

my thoughts are that i find it annoying every time someone posts the "omg i got banned for no reason!!!" reddit slop

[mellow roost]

💀

[calm ether]

There were news articles on it, apparently they were banned because of Baldurs Gate 3 romance clips

[thin nimbus]

It was game clips that got him banned it shows why he was banned in the picture

[calm ether]

Glad I'm not the only one that hates this punishment system

[versed swan]

my thoughts didn't change but thank you for reading what i already saw?

[mellow roost]

I mean is it really that confusing?

Xbox doesn't want NSFW stuff on their platform. Just because they allow you to record the games doesn't meant they want it on their social services.

This all just takes a second or two of thinking about things to understand, instead of flying off at the handle every time someone mentions Enforcement.

[calm ether]

Xbox should change it's rules then cuz not being able to post clips of a game is dumb

[mellow roost]

They don't want sex scenes on the network.

Be so for real right now.

[versed swan]

i keep getting recommended this dumb video of someone whining about a console ban and "muh nostalgia" even if i mark it as me not being interested

[fluid creek]

just save your clips locally if you really wanna record it

[calm ether]

If the game is a mature rating then it should be fine, or maybe, put like a NSFW flag warning message like discord

[fluid creek]

not everyone on the network are adults

there are many children

[mellow roost]

Online interactions aren't rated, and services outside of the game (like the Xbox Network services) aren't rated under the same thing.

[halcyon stratus]

…. lol

[fluid creek]

yeah i tried lol

[calm ether]

Glad the media disagrees lol

[fluid creek]

🙄

anyway

[versed swan]

i got this ad, lol

[hearty plinth]

did game pass quests monthly push it bacl to 1000 points but got rid of the weekly ultimate game quest for 250 points

[calm ether]

Where can you find the quests? The UI is confusing

[hearty plinth]

ur profile/rewards on xbox app on mobile

[calm ether]

Ty

[versed swan]

i checked it out because i was curious and it was just a 3 question survey where no matter what you answer it just leads to "nah you can't be compensated" it's an impressive way to get clicks i must say

[long maple]

yeah looks like it, loads of the Game Pass 250 were repeated games. just more work now to remember doing everything daily, I missed out on 1,000 points so many times cause I accidentally forgot a couple days in the month

[thin nimbus]

It's in the tos here saying that some game clips or screen shots can be against the tos

But twitch allows the game to be stream I thought they don't usually allow games to be stream that are like that

[stray beacon]

Twitch allows nudity in games as long as you don't linger on it and it can't be the focus of the game

Streaming a game like cyberpunk is a roll of the dice because some people can get away with it but I've seen people get hit with the ban hammer

[halcyon stratus]

Oh wow just saw this. https://vxtwitter.com/starfieldgame/status/1742304246203072877?s=61

Need to go look up the rest of the steam awards, didn’t realize it was a thing today

[stray beacon]

I have feelings about this

[versed swan]

innovation in...

[stray beacon]

I feel as if a bgs game hasn't been innovative in quite some time

[versed swan]

labor of love was given to... rdr2

[stray beacon]

Oh yeah forgot you can give awards to games that came out before the year

[versed swan]

well that's more or less the point of labor of love

it's an award for games with frequent updates and players, and rdr2/red dead online....

[mellow roost]

Makes sense.

[sand sorrel]

Lmao

[grim bay]

Hello chat

[stray beacon]

Does rockstar even drop updates for RDO anymore

[grim bay]

I will look out with what i say before i get muted again

[sand sorrel]

Last one was 2 years ago

[grim bay]

But i have a question

[versed swan]

not that im aware of

[grim bay]

Since most of the admins here are they/them, how can u be both

[cinder veldt]

What?

[sand sorrel]

theres christmas events and the map is full of snow right now, but they have done that for years

[stray beacon]

Did you not just say you were going to watch what you said

[grim bay]

Lets goooo, i am leaving the xbox chat without getting muted for once, all the they/them are sleeping

[stray beacon]

?

[odd galleon]

Man... was thinking how nice it would be to get another Dead Rising game...

[grim bay]

Have a good night guys

[stray beacon]

Could never get into the dead rising games as much as I love the concept. Being timed for an entire game isn't really my thing. Same reason I bought but haven't finished the first fallout

[idle spear]

Dead rising 1 and 2 I enjoyed a lot

[versed swan]

i love games built around time limits as long as it isn't "nope, times up, campaign over, you LOSE" and more like Majora's Mask or outer wilds

[sand sorrel]

Why did rdr2 win labor of love?

[versed swan]

i will give dead rising an exception to that

[odd galleon]

Mostly protest, because they never updated it

[sand sorrel]

Do people vote on the games?

[stray beacon]

I love rdr2 and all but holy crap people are ruthless about that game. I'm not surprised it managed to win labor of love

[versed swan]

yup

[stray beacon]

Also I wouldn't call what rockstar did to RDO love

[sand sorrel]

I would call it abandonment

[halcyon stratus]

They moved everyone to a different game that was cancelled lol

[compact crest]

Can I not move my old gen Xbox game data to my new series s?

[sage ice]

just log into the game, it auto moves

[compact crest]

Do I need to have both systems on

[sage ice]

no, as long as you were playing the other console while connected to the internet, it auto uploads to the cloud

[sterile solstice]

Guys

[sage ice]

1st day back to work, you can't expect annoucements.

[halcyon stratus]

no they didn't announce it on a global holiday, therefore it can't happen

[odd galleon]

Pack it up bois. GP is done.

[sterile solstice]

Can I connect my microphone? On my controller, do I need a headset?

[halcyon stratus]

you need a headset

[spring quartz]

Hey im not sure where to ask this so ill ask it here. Im looking for a desk and dont have a lot of room and i could use some help to find one, I was originally thinking this as the height and width were perfect but a depth of 50 is far to much so i was wondering if anyone could find a desk like this with a depths of 45 or under https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/micke-desk-oak-effect-20351742/#content

[sage ice]

you should hire a personal shopper

[spring quartz]

You can do that

[halcyon stratus]

yea, i provide that service all the time

[spring quartz]

I did not know that- welp ill find a good yet cheap one

[limpid flicker]

Ehh, sure do wish I was in the market for a $2800 TV. 😅

[tired hare]

If I turn my Xbox off while it’s downloading a game, will it continue downloading? And if so, will it then download games in the queue?

[arctic idol]

I think so if you have the non-power saving mode on

[halcyon stratus]

Yes, in either mode it will.

[arctic idol]

Nice

[cinder veldt]

As long as it’s not a disc game

[tired hare]

Oh sweet I thought I’d have to leave it on all night

[ionic crypt]

So on games such as roblox is it possible for xbox user to voicechat or must we be on official party chat?

[cinder veldt]

I don’t think roblox has introduced their voice chat instead of the old gamechat if that’s what you mean? (Maybe they have?)

[halcyon stratus]

Roblox doesn't do vboice chat on xbox

[cinder veldt]

At least not cross platform

[stray beacon]

Only on PC if you verify that you're over the age of 13 through a form of id

[halcyon stratus]

hmm? not at all on xbox as far as i recall. there was a whole big kerfuffel about them deciding to err on the side of privacy/protection

[cinder veldt]

There was gamechat ever since it came out on xbox, unfortunately it wasn’t used the best. Could’ve been removed in the recent years

[stray beacon]

Yeah they removed the Xbox game chat years ago iirc

[halcyon stratus]

yea like 5 years ago...

[cinder veldt]

Ah I have missed a lot then

[halcyon stratus]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/xbox-players-can-no-longer-chat-resulting-in-major-loss-of-playercount/374786

[stray beacon]

Text chat is back on console but voice chat isn't

I remember voice chat being a thing at launch on xbox

If my memory serves me right

[halcyon stratus]

right, the one time existence of it is implied in the 'has been removed' part lol

[arctic idol]

I guess you could still party chat if you know the people you're playing with..

[cinder veldt]

While that article is unrelated to the topic, it was probably around that time

[versed swan]

also unrelated, i wish more tools were provided to roblox developers making something for xbox for better optimization

[robust socket]

Where do you go to get a replacement Xbox accessory

[cinder veldt]

It may or may not be around still, because this article mentions games as experiences which was a change in like 2021? https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/205355430-Xbox-One-App-Voice-Chat#:~:text=Roblox on Xbox has an,your friends and party members.

[uneven river]

I didn't know roblox ever had text chat on xbox

[cinder veldt]

Some games could add it themselves

Those games were also the games where you could not enter the chat window on PC with a non standard key for /

[gleaming crest]

Tbh whts the use of their voice chat over stuff like discord

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t have every person I game with on my personal discord list

[gleaming crest]

Speaking of roblox do they even have proper events yet or we're still stuck with those pretaped concerts

[stray beacon]

I feel like my gamerscore being 25k after having been on Xbox for 14 years is a bit low

[gleaming crest]

I meant in the sense of your friend group

[gray latch]

as long as you're having fun, doesn't matter

[calm ether]

They really need to remove that damn suspension system

[cinder veldt]

They have stopped with the proper events though

[stray beacon]

Yeah idrc about gamerscore I just thought I was interesting

[gleaming crest]

Ive been on xbox since like 2016/2017 and mine is like 21k 💀

[halcyon stratus]

I was on Xbox live before it launched and that is more than I have i think

[gleaming crest]

Sad

[calm ether]

I got too many games in my backlog I'm scared

[halcyon stratus]

No, they need to do more way to report people and more automatic near real time comms analysis for automatic enforcement

[gleaming crest]

Tbh i would download roblox on my xbox if it wasnt 121gb 💀

[long maple]

scared of what was it 30 games. wish that was my backlog

[stray beacon]

Roblox has never been that much

[calm ether]

Awful idea

[fluid creek]

you just got a mute for continuing the discussion and you came back and are still going.

[cinder veldt]

121gb? What

[fluid creek]

you clearly don't learn

move on.

[gleaming crest]

It hasnt? I swear the last time i checked the gamepage it was

Lemme check in the xbox app

[stray beacon]

Roblox is like 5gb max I don't even think it's that much

[cinder veldt]

You sure you didn’t misread MB as GB?

[gleaming crest]

No idea, this was weeks ago

Ill prob double check the figure later when im on my xbox

[uneven river]

Only 300MB, tad bit less than 100GB

[calm ether]

I have so many games in my backlog

[long maple]

yes you said that already

[cinder veldt]

368MB for me

[calm ether]

I'm worried how long it'll take

[gleaming crest]

Probably read it wrong then

[long maple]

however long it takes

[warm trellis]

Oh boy what a space eater, I'll have to get an external drive just for roblox!

[gleaming crest]

Any idea if it supports KB/m?

[versed swan]

yup it does

[calm ether]

Half of the games in my backlog are AAA and will probably take me 40 hours or more to finish each one

[gleaming crest]

Alright, guess im going back to roblox at some point

[warm trellis]

You guys actually finish games?

[uneven river]

I try

[long maple]

yeah I have finished like 340 games so far

[gleaming crest]

In terms of?

[warm trellis]

I will play until I get bored or busy lol, picking it back up doesn't happen alot

[uneven river]

Got 600 games in my backlog tho so not doing a good job

[gleaming crest]

For all games right?

[tired hare]

anyone know anything about 8BitDo Controllers?

[versed swan]

i would have to imagine probably as that's the main platform developed for

[calm ether]

I used to not finish games but now I focus one, at max, 3 games at a time and then when I finish and get all achievements on one game I move onto another. At the moment im playing rdr2, GTA 4 and kingdom come

[gleaming crest]

Id rather use kb/m for it since controller sounds like a pain

[versed swan]

even xbox specific versions of games i have to imagine still leave kbm as an option

[stray beacon]

I finished my current run of dying light 2. Put 31 hours in it over the past week

[cinder veldt]

They good

[half spindle]

Hi!! Can anyone help me with my Xbox 360???

[gleaming crest]

And i need to go back to far cry 6 💀 at some point

[calm ether]

Kingdom come I doubt I'll get all the achievements on so I just plan to finish the game, dlcs and get as many achievements as possible before I move onto the next one

Reason why is cuz the game wants me to collect 10k herbs and complete it in hardcore mode I don't want to do that atm

[stray beacon]

I never try and get all the achievements in games I like because I feel like forcing myself to do so would ruin my enjoyment of playing it

[gleaming crest]

Same

Well i try for some

[calm ether]

I collect achievements because I'm now an achievement hunter plus collecting all the achievements is a challenge and a way of saying to yourself you've fully completed the game

[tired hare]

Mine is messed up

[stray beacon]

I just play games to have fun and if I feel like some achievements are too tedious I don't do them

[cinder veldt]

Help how?

[tired hare]

look in ur dms pls

[calm ether]

I play them for fun too, and I find collecting achievements fun

Anyone know why my Xbox when I turned it on had a really dark apperence. Not black screen but just super dim and dark. It wasn't like this before. It's only the Xbox. The TV is fine for everything else. I'm confused?

I tried reseting and, powering off completely and unplugging for a little while as well

[hasty zenith]

I have a Xbox series x

[sage ice]

use TA, they have that info

[gleaming crest]

I feel like just drinking coffee later damn

[halcyon stratus]

Dopey I need help shopping

[cinder veldt]

TA is perfect for those disappointments

[gleaming crest]

Ngl im suprised it doesn't have its own app yet

[calm ether]

I hate multiplayer achievements

[halcyon stratus]

i've looked for years and I think i've just got some sort of mental block on being able to find what i need....

Please find me an outdoor rated wall powered (not battery) disco ball motor. At this point I don't even care if it is DMX controllable,

[cinder veldt]

It does on xbox, super useful

[long maple]

TA had an app years ago yeah

[gleaming crest]

Is it still up

[stray beacon]

I am unable to comprehend DMX being used in a context other than the rapper

[cinder veldt]

Used last week

[gleaming crest]

Whats the name of it

[cinder veldt]

True achievements

[sage ice]

DMX is a controller

[stray beacon]

I've only tried getting all of the achievements for one game and that was ghostbusters spirits unleashed. I was 1 achievement away and then the disc stopped reading on my ps5

[tired hare]

can anyone help? I have just gotten two 8BitDo Pro 2 controllers and one of them keeps blinking on the second led light (and it's blinking green). It worked once before, but now it does not connect to my PC (computer does not even see that it is there when I plug it in), and it wont work with bluetooth. Whatever I try to do (switch the setting, turn it off, etc..) it never works. Anyone have any solutions?

[halcyon stratus]

if someone knows they will reply to your support thread

[tired hare]

ok

[cinder veldt]

Yeah DMX controllable ball seems about right.

[halcyon stratus]

but you will probably be better off just reading the manual or the 8bitdo support since it is specific to their company controllers

[tired hare]

I did

[calm ether]

I'm 2 achievements away from all achievements on rdr2

Once I finish rdr2 I'll be attempting to get all Valhalla achievements im missing 20

[velvet wadi]

Where can I get an Xbox one x controller for cheap?

[halcyon stratus]

ebay

[velvet wadi]

Are xbox one s rare

[halcyon stratus]

no

How many Xbox One S have been sold?
In total, nearly 58 million Xbox One units have been sold worldwide as of September 2023.

[long maple]

discontinued yes but not rare

[calm ether]

No I own one

[idle spear]

You can just get a series controller for the One X

[calm ether]

I play on Xbox one S still

[wicked flax]

it still works.

[calm ether]

Yeah my Xbox one S still surprisingly works after what like 6 years now I'll upgrade in 2025 to a series S

[wicked flax]

I mean, the Series controller works on One consoles.

[calm ether]

Is this true?

[stray beacon]

Yes

[calm ether]

Might get one series controller now then, and then I'll get another one when I get the series S console cuz they always bundle it with a controller

What's the battery life on the series controller

[stray beacon]

Depends on the batteries you put in it I would assume. I use wired controllers

[idle spear]

Mine seem to last about a week on rechargeable ones

[stone dawn]

bro why do they even exist?

[final cove]

Standard AA's last about a week. Id recommend getting a rechargeable pack

[halcyon stratus]

to reward people that play multiplayer

to get people to play multiplayer

[vagrant mica]

It’s all good until the multiplayer mode becomes dead/ removed and the achievements become unobtainable

[halcyon stratus]

yep, that definitely happens

[stone dawn]

oh ok

[hollow hawk]

I've personally found rechargeable AA batts to work great as well, have one on the charger ready to go, and another in the controller

[abstract pulsar]

Good evening everyone

[stone dawn]

You too

[hollow hawk]

Developers build for the game in the here and now, not x years down the line when it's lifecycle has ended

[stone dawn]

How do i implant my games into XBox?

[hollow hawk]

Implant? What is this surgery?

[stone dawn]

no

[abstract pulsar]

Do you mean develop games?

[vagrant mica]

I do understand that but there should be a way for achievements like these to be obtained in another way if/ when this occurs

[stone dawn]

I have made one for steam

[abstract pulsar]

Please do not ping me

[stone dawn]

Sorry

[vagrant mica]

They removed that rule btw

[gray latch]

it's still okay to ask tho

[stone dawn]

But I listen so...

[abstract pulsar]

I still don't like being pinged

[final cove]

Didn't even notice. Why'd it get removed?

[stone dawn]

Yeah im fine with pings but Only ping at 4:00PM and higher

[abstract pulsar]

Also good evening Green

[gray latch]

heya Miles!

[stone dawn]

Dont knowww?

[halcyon stratus]

How've you been?

[stone dawn]

XD You got me EST

WHY DO I KEEP PINGING

[gray latch]

not bad. had a nice visit back to my hometown last week but happy to be back lol. hbu?

[vagrant mica]

#general-chat message

This was what Kylie said about the rule being removed so that’s all I know

[sage ice]

the @ is off, they are not pinging you

[stone dawn]

oh

I was pining them?

oh wait I confused yall

[abstract pulsar]

Eh, a little empty, to be fair - but I've pretty content with these new games I've bought on sale. Right now I'm about to go back to MGSV

[gray latch]

aww

[stone dawn]

I said Why do i keep pinging People sorry

[abstract pulsar]

A Hat in Time has really eaten up my time in the past 2 days LOL

[cinder veldt]

I want to get that game eventually, but I have other games to buy and play

[stray beacon]

Postal 2 👍

[sage ice]

I read that rwong, sorry

[stone dawn]

so anyways how do i Pubslish my Games to Xbox?

[gray latch]

I heard it was good

[calm ether]

I wish Xbox could tell us when they're adding this achievement revamp

[abstract pulsar]

I'd say it is - the Workshop's made it even more fun
Been playing with this one mod that lets you play as Morgana from P5

[calm ether]

Id love to know more about it

[vagrant mica]

I want a revamp similar to PS trophies

[stone dawn]

Wait who owns Xbox ima look it up

[cinder veldt]

And I wish my school PC wasn’t so unreliable in it’s POST process, but eh it is

[halcyon stratus]

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/publish

[abstract pulsar]

My friend highly recommended this game, and they honestly weren't wrong - it's been a riveting experience

[stone dawn]

thx

[gleaming crest]

the rule got yeeted mate...

[abstract pulsar]

I can still ask people like you not to ping me

[cinder veldt]

Okay it’s not unreliable, but I think RAM causes it to fail a few times

[muted bobcat]

What’s the game?

[gleaming crest]

it was unncessary arguments when one got pinged and it became this entire thing of using settings discord provides to u to avoid undesired notifications

point is, it caused alot of arguments

[abstract pulsar]

It's called A Hat in Time

[muted bobcat]

It looks like a nintendo game

[gleaming crest]

quick question

do u do this in the other servers ur in?

[stone dawn]

Nuh uh

[muted bobcat]

When I was younger I used to have a ds cartridge with like 300 games on

It was so fun having that many options

not the right one

Want to avoid pings? Change your notifications to turn off mentions as well. Right click the server icon on Desktop or press and hold on mobile and select Notifications, then set to "Nothing".

[fluid creek]

there's the updated info 🙂

[stone dawn]

:

[muted bobcat]

Yeah you can set up notifications on a server basis

[stone dawn]

:huh:

[gleaming crest]

whats the cmd for that one

[cinder veldt]

Next up discord needs to add a setting to remove the highlight

[kind heron]

.!noping iirc

[stone dawn]

CMD? WHy we talking about Command Prompt

arguing about the highlight is even more fatiguing than arguing about a sound that comes out of every speaker in my house lmao

[gleaming crest]

yeah ima drink coffee i reckon

[stone dawn]

☕ :

[muted bobcat]

Why is the highlight annoying though

[gleaming crest]

actually ill try take a nap in like 2 hrs then do that when i wake up

[stone dawn]

:):

[cinder veldt]

I don’t mind it personally, pings and yellow in chat just makes me feel seen

[muted bobcat]

It means you can still track notifications

[cinder veldt]

Unless in ludicrous amounts

[stone dawn]

:pog:

[muted bobcat]

in case you miss someone replying

[halcyon stratus]

the sound is mostly annoying becuase discord is so agressive about it. if i turn my head away for a nanosecond it decides to start playing sounds again even if i'm literally full screen discord on my monitoor lol

[stone dawn]

You got Moniters/

[cinder veldt]

There was a time where discord wouldn’t idle properly for me, notifications caused the PC to light up

[sage ice]

I have 5 at my desk

[abstract pulsar]

I keep my notifications set to @mentions for regulars - I don't like being pinged by new people, that's the problem

Sure, that's a pointless.... thing, but

...y'know, it doesn't even matter at this point

[night rapids]

Multiple monitors isn't that unusual anymore

[stone dawn]

I only have 1 Big long Curvy one

[halcyon stratus]

it would be cool if they let you set it to "allow @'s from people on your friend list"

[cinder veldt]

Those go crazy with fancyzones

[abstract pulsar]

That's way too helpful for Discord's standards LOL

[muted bobcat]

I have 2 monitors for my job + laptop

[stone dawn]

I got my Big Bro The Lenovo LOQ laptop with some Gaming Stuff

[sage ice]

work workstation is 3 monitors. It is nice.

[stone dawn]

I agree

Is adaptive triggers on ps5 or Xbox better

[halcyon stratus]

xbox doesn't have adaptive triggers

[hushed vapor]

is there idea for me to play the game on a new Xbox series X faster ? If I download the games that I already owned? How long will it take? I really wish I could play it without downloading again on the new console.

[sage ice]

how long it will take is up to your internet, we cannot tell you.

faster, sure you can play via cloud if the game is cloud enabled, your internet is fast enough and you have GP Ult

You can transfer the games from your old console, they just need to both be powered on

[halcyon stratus]

and if you have an xbox already you can just move the games to a hard drive and move hte hard drive over to the new console

if your internet speed is less than 500 meg, using a usb drive and the copy time is going to be faster

[wild bluff]

I really want to play NBA2K24 and I have games to share

[tired hare]

I am curious as to what the modern opinion on 60 fps is now days, for some reason it has stopped feeling playable for games like cod and Fortnite but it still feels fine in GTA

[halcyon stratus]

60 is more than sufficient and it is trendy to claim that 60 is unusable

[long maple]

does the job for me

[trail coyote]

The crew motorfest or cyberpunk?

[short mantle]

I don’t understand how a game is unplayable if it’s 60 or under lol

[long maple]

Crew Motorfest is fun and pretty short this year. but plenty of different events were added

[trail coyote]

By default and rn on its discount cyberpunk is cheaper but like idk I’ve lowkey been wanting motorfest for a while but I’ve heard cyberpunk has made a great comeback

[long maple]

Cyberpunk 2077 is great now with all the content and updates it had for 3 years.. but totally different genre

[trail coyote]

say someone enjoys both the genres tho, what would likely be the more chosen option

[long maple]

yeah, the new expansion is worth it.. not played myself but. its Idris Alba he does nothing bad lol

[trail coyote]

Oh im not looking to buy dlcs 😭 idk if that makes or breaks the decision

[tired hare]

that's always what I thought, but I enabled 120 fps in Fortnite, I ended up going back to 60 fps mode because the graphics look super bad on 120, but now the game feel super choppy and I am noticing the extra input delay

[long maple]

I havent played much Cyberpunk tbh, then new updates came out and they preferred everyone to start a new save. just got too many games to play right now

[halcyon stratus]

something else is going on to cause issues then.

[trail coyote]

Okay im assuming you’ve played both games based on what I’ve been told, if you were to choose between the two which would you go for rn?

[long maple]

I really do not enjoy recommending games lol

[trail coyote]

My bad

[long maple]

suppose you tried watching trailers and everything though

[trail coyote]

yeah 😭

im such an indecisive person its draining

[long maple]

Crew Motorfest tried alittle to copy Forza Horizon this time around.. with the little hub areas for different car disciplines, but you still have boats,planes and motorbikes too.

[short mantle]

It’s been a common theme lately with racing titles. Everyone is trying to copy Horizon, but nobody gets it right, except Playground themselves.

[trail coyote]

fh5 is lowkey so boring tho the map really isn’t my kind of thing either

[tired hare]

I don't know what to choose, good graphics but the game feels crappy or good fps but the games looks like dog crap

I keep switching back and fourth and I cant decide

[long maple]

yeah Louie and we getting Test Drive Unlimited this year, might pick it up not sure yet

[tired hare]

Microsoft adding 120 fps mode is the hardest decision of my life

[long maple]

you should see how badly Fortnite runs for PC players they dont seem to mind the graphics

[short mantle]

I’ve never played a TDU game

[long maple]

I remember playing 2 and spending most my time in the casino than actually driving

[wicked meteor]

[rich aurora]

Been playing a lot of pokemon infinite fusion recently, a cool fangame and aside of the transflag reference which is cute and cheeky this such a quality of life feature

[tired hare]

I know it I used to play on PC before switching to console, Fortnite was unplayable if you had anything less then 144 fps because of the drops

[rich aurora]

specially for shiny hunting

I havent played a Pokemon game in years.

[short mantle]

I like Pokémon. It’s about the only turn-based game I like.

[long maple]

funny how things have changed in my house around 2020 everyone got a Switch and now they dont play it anymore

[rich aurora]

I like pokemon but, to be honest been having much more fun with fangames

[short mantle]

I haven’t played on mine in a while. I still need to beat Mario Wonder and Mario RPG.

[rich aurora]

the ammount of quality of life features pokemon infinite fusion has added is quite insane

The one worth to note is that TMs are infinite which is quite neat

if a 360 games box says "live" on the right corner. does it mean im required to have live to play it offline?

[sage ice]

no

[sage ice]

it would make the ping higher

[tired hare]

Hello, was wondering if anyone could point me to a Dev Mode related Xbox Discord

[scarlet river]

https://www.google.ca

But if you were using dev mode for game development, you'd know how to search for that.

[scarlet river]

Any time you use a VPN, your ping will increase as will your latency, as your connection now needs to route through different server(s) before reaching its destination.

[tired hare]

Actually am planning on devolping something

[scarlet river]

What'cha gonna make?

[fervent valve]

my parents are allowing me to buy a console for my birthday today and im conflicted between an xbox or a playstation

[tired hare]

porting over a pc app, but have to remake the backend to supprot directx12

just a pet project

[scarlet river]

Get whatever your friends use so you can play games together, I guess

[safe summit]

Anyone know any like $100 or cheaper monitor that’s decent for series s cause I’m planning on getting the series s but idk what monitor to get that’s not a lot

[tired hare]

Like portable or just monitor monitor?

[scarlet river]

$100 monitor may not even have HDMI.

[safe summit]

Any really just not too big

[tired hare]

just use a tv

[scarlet river]

What is "not too big"?

[safe summit]

True

[scarlet river]

You can prob. pick up a cheap 1080p or 4k TV from Walmart for a couple hundred.

[safe summit]

Like anything over 24 inch

[tired hare]

no real use for a monitor, unless you plan on buying speakers

[safe summit]

Oh

[scarlet river]

Are you planning on sitting like 2ft away from it?

And ya, like EXM1L said, no speakers. Unless you are using a headset.

[tired hare]

and with a tv you get more milleage anyway, if youre fine with losing out on HDR which lole Who cares

[scarlet river]

HDR does make a difference on a good panel.

[safe summit]

Hmm I gotta think abt it

[tired hare]

well yeah, just feel like the average consumer wouldnt care about theyre picture quality

hell before i got a tv i was using a portable projector lel

[safe summit]

Ima probably end up getting a Acer KB272 EBI 27" IPS Full HD (1920 x 1080) just cause it’s in my price range

It’s only like 99 on sale

[scarlet river]

Hope it works out for you

Doh

[calm ether]

Oh and pentiment I already have on my list

Just curious if there's anything else

[scarlet river]

I hear that Genji 2 has epic battles that actually took place in ancient Japan, including a battle with a GIANT ENEMY CRAB.

You can even hit its weak spot for massive damage!

Wait, that was a PS3 title lol

[calm ether]

Giant enemy crab doesn't sound realistic lol

That's the joke. Was based on Sony's abysmal PS3 showing at E3 that year.

[winter forum]

Sony gen 7: watch us drop the ball
Xbox gen 8: hold my beer

It's annoying that there's only 1 medieval RPG game that is remotely historical and that's kingdom come deliverance

[fiery python]

Xbox gen 9: Buy the ball

[calm ether]

All the other ones are fantasy related, I blame Skyrim for that smh

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t think Skyrim is old enough to take the blame for medieval games being fantasy

[winter forum]

Pretty much...
It is crazy that gen 8 was like "no you will not be reselling games" - MS (at the start)
And a decade later that's just... Kinda happened anyway for many users?

[calm ether]

Oblivion was quite successful too

[winter forum]

On both platforms I'll add

[calm ether]

Morrowind as well

[quasi echo]

ye well. That's dying with physical media dying. So have fun rebuying ur games in 2030 or whenever gen 10 starts

.>

And "physical media dying" I'm hoping rebirths like vinyl. Gimme dem 4K movies on shiny circles

[calm ether]

You can blame COVID for physical media dying

[fiery python]

Covid had nothing to do with it. It was already moving towards digital long before that.

[hollow hawk]

Physical media at this point I don't think can completely die. We've had discs for so long and so many disc games that there will be actual outrage from everyone who has at least a few disc based games that they don't want to re-buy, that or Microsoft is gonna have to figure out a damn good way for people to convert their physical media into digital versions.

[fiery python]

70% of game sales on PS were digital last year. The number of people buying physical games is dropping year on year. That vocal minority won't be loud enough to matter soon.

[calm ether]

Nothing to do with it? Alright mate, people were locked inside, streaming services became more popular which also caused people to go digital since they couldn't go to the store.

[fiery python]

I was talking more about video games.

[winter forum]

Not just MS, Sony too
But judging Nintendo's "and you can buy OOT on this console now too" it ain't happening. Just release and charge again!

[fiery python]

But even taking into account movies and TV, Netflix and Prime Video started this long before covid.

[calm ether]

Nintendo is the least consumer friendly

[molten briar]

Actually, no. This argument comes up anytime a physical medium type changes. Tapes to cd's, vhs to dvd to blu-ray etc.

[fiery python]

Nintendo is coming round to it, too. They've said that they're working to make the move to the next console easier and supporting better account systems.

[calm ether]

They can get away with it sadly

[winter forum]

I remember lovefilm knocking door to door trying to get subscribers and being met with "why? I have netflix"

[hollow hawk]

Say you have a big pile of physical games that you really like, next console comes out and suddenly you're told that all of those games are suddenly useless and you'll have to re-buy all of them. Trade in value for those discs are in the gutter now, so you're losing money just to play your collection on your new console
In that situation, I would feel like I was robbed.

[winter forum]

So you mean the WiiU?

[quasi echo]

ye cuz of shills

[fiery python]

But you also can't deny that the signs of it happening weren't made very clear in advance. It's obvious the industry is moving more towards a digital future.

Physical games don't even contain all of the game any more.

[cyan quiver]

This happened with the PS3–>PS4 switch and it has happened in previous cases so why should they cater to physical discs

[short mantle]

Physical video game sales started dying in 2013 when the One and PS4 came out. People saw how easy and convenient digital is over physical. That’s when sales started to decline drastically when it came to retailers like GameStop. That’s why our CEO’s are always vocal about it and complaining about digital only systems.

[winter forum]

This isn't really my argument any more, it's too do with controlling the used game market... There just isn't one with digital

[cyan quiver]

MOST of the time they don’t

Some games have all of the content on disc. Games like Baldur’s Gate 3, which for the Special Edition uses 3 discs for the Xbox version and two for the PS5 version

[winter forum]

If the digital store front pricing dropped prices as demand falls (like physical shops have to) then fine. But Nintendo and Sony have proven that ain't happening

[quasi echo]

Microsoft too

and the people who just go with it because too lazy to get up and change a disc. are gonna force those with large physical libraries to lose a lot of money for older games that are still full priced even with lack of demand

on digital markets

[fiery python]

That's a bit of an inaccurate generalisation.

[short mantle]

They do drop though, mostly with sales, but they do drop. I bought the Bioshock Collection for $10. That’s way cheaper than the physical.

[fiery python]

It's not about being too lazy to change discs at all.

[molten briar]

Some people don't have space for a large physical collection

[short mantle]

^

[fiery python]

I own a lot of games. I woudn't have the space to store all of the cases for them. I also share with my partner and digital games give us two copies.

Convenience doesn't equate to laziness.

[quasi echo]

That's not a convenience tax im willing to pay

[sick cradle]

Just wish save data storage was larger w faster read/ write speeds 😔

Would push mod abilities to the next level

[fiery python]

But the majority of people are, so you'll need to get with the times soon enough.

[quasi echo]

Thats not entirely accurate

[molten briar]

Natural disaster happens and you lose entire physical collection. Have to re-buy, digital would still be there

[winter forum]

I'll accept sales happen but a lot of games don't drop to used physical prices too. It's hard to quantify.

[short mantle]

I own almost 2500 digital games on Xbox. I don’t have the room to store them, nor do I want that many physical games. Convenience is not about being lazy.

[molten briar]

kids/pets happens, disc wears out, life happens all mean replacing physical

[cyan quiver]

As for me, I’ll keep my 1.0 copy of Cyberpunk so I can experience the bugginess all over again; can’t do that digitally

[quasi echo]

But its much cheaper buying mw19 from gamestop then the xbox or ps store. So in that case id go with that

[gray latch]

but I am, in fact, too lazy to change a disc

[sullen forum]

They're never going to drop to used prices, because you aren't removing a copy from the market with digital sales. The only person who pockets money in a used physical sale is the retailer. Not the publisher, not the developer, not the platform owner.

[winter forum]

I suppose it's just back to "you don't own the game, you own the licence to play it"

[sullen forum]

That's true with physical discs too

[short mantle]

So I’m missing out on the physical, because I can’t experience the bugs. What lol

[molten briar]

Go back to my earlier comment though about music/video mediums changing. It's going to be the exact same scenario in the long run with video games

[winter forum]

Mmhm. But I can resell a disc if I don't like it. I can't do that with a license...

[quasi echo]

"the majority of people want digital only" is a fallacy. I remember a tweet from the xbox twitter account that was poorly received and that i have a screen shot of. That pretty much said that. A lot of people want physical media

[runic elk]

Morning everyone 😊

[winter forum]

Probably dated 2013 or so though

[calm ether]

So.. gamepass roadmap releases today hopefully?

[short mantle]

That goes without saying, though. We know we can’t resell a digital game. It’s not about that.

[sullen forum]

So, a very specific, limited audience.

[quasi echo]

So limited it was deleted?

[gray latch]

the funny thing is what a lot of people say they want and what they actually buy can be two different things

[sullen forum]

My point being, it's not the data we have from the entirety of the Xbox eco system

[fiery python]

You're also accepting what you hear online as the majority vote when that's not the case. You're hearing from the people who don't want digital, but not from the people who are happy with digital/don't care. Again, a vocal minority, which is getting smaller and smaller.

[quasi echo]

if it were that small the tweet would be up still

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sullen forum]

Also not true...

[molten briar]

You're trying to tell someone that knows the exact numbers of physical vs digital on Xbox that they're wrong, lol

[short mantle]

His uncle works for Xbox

[sullen forum]

Because like spacenettle said, what people say they want and what they buy are different. People can go crazy despite something being true, because they don't want to be confronted with the truth. So sometimes it's better to just remove something and let people live in ignorant bliss

[molten briar]

Also, social posts rarely reflect reality

[wide pumice]

What is happening right now?

[fiery python]

Denial mostly.

[short mantle]

Someone is claiming to know more about Xbox than a person who actually works for Xbox.

[quasi echo]

Im saying buying old games for 60+ when rn they are in the single digits is 📉 for the players

[sick cradle]

Crazy yall r using the word “buy” when actually all we r doing is renting the game until xbox decides to stop supporting said game.

Physical copies need to stay around for so many reasons.

BUT people should have the option to buy digital for convenience as well if they so choose

[winter forum]

Laura can you comment on... in general, if sales drop, publishers typically do put titles on sale? Obviously there will be outliers

[molten briar]

That's a goal post move

[quasi echo]

._.

[molten briar]

Laura wouldn't have that information. That would be publisher specific and not Xbox

[winter forum]

Alright

[quasi echo]

?

[sullen forum]

Digital games are going to be supported for the same length of time as physical copies.

Digital only dies when the physical copies die.

[quasi echo]

which depending on the game would be cheaper than digital

[fiery python]

Once the initial full price launch sales are out of the way digital games often drop in price shortly after to catch the people who were on the fence. Then later price drops during the usual holiday sales to tempt the rest. It happens all the time.

Look at Ubisoft games. They often drop 30-40% within a month.

[sick cradle]

(Looks at black ops 2 still costing $50)

[quasi echo]

lemme look at the gamestop price

[sullen forum]

But is the original copy you bought and now the replacement together, cheaper than the single digital copy?

[calm ether]

Yeah you're right we need physical to be revived

[sick cradle]

Tbh I’m jumping in this argument in the middle n idek what started it.

Rlly just throwing buzz words around ig😭

[quasi echo]

that depends on the game

[winter forum]

Game and wario, no
FIFA 2017? Probably?

[quasi echo]

even of both added up to the same price as digital. Technically speaking its 2 for the price of one.

[sullen forum]

No, it's 2 for the price of 2

[ivory barn]

Wait you guys still rent games? Lmao

[sullen forum]

Because all digital games get you the home console license and a roaming license

[calm ether]

Physical is way cheaper

[sullen forum]

No it's not, that's the entire point we've been making....

[quasi echo]

Um what?

To the cheap price yea. to the digital price no. i dont understand what you mean

[ivory barn]

What are we talking here

[calm ether]

Bro I found GTA 5 for like 7 pounds at CEX

[fiery python]

Read chat and see

[sullen forum]

You're saying you got 2 physical for the price of 1 digital. I'm saying you got 2 digital licenses for that one purchase

so you can play 2 copies at the same time, on 2 different consoles, with that single digital purchase.

you can't do that with a physical copy

So don't bring in "Well I got 2 copies for the same price as a digital in this case" and claim it's superior

[calm ether]

It is superior considering it's cheaper

[sullen forum]

I'm out, I'm done with raising my blood pressure arguing with walls who won't even bother reading and think they know more than me who actually works at Xbox and has access to the real data 🙄

Stay ignorant all

[sick cradle]

….
L response from Xbox

[winter forum]

I suppose I'm also in the minority of "I still want to be able to play 20 year old games" too tbh.
Very few people do that

[calm ether]

Very unprofessional

[mellow roost]

I'll just add an analogy and back out myself (not that I have the energy for today to begin with).

It's basically the poor man's boots vs. the rich man's boots thing. Digital is the rich man's boots.

Lasts longer, better buy.

[sick cradle]

Poor = ignorant
Okayyyyy

[mellow roost]

Okay yeah I should have just not said anything because that's not at all what I meant.

[tired hare]

No you should have a say

[sullen forum]

That's not a response from Xbox, it's a response from me, a very tired person who is tired of being ignored and not listened to and having you all act like you know better than her.

[winter forum]

I don't believe I've done that this morning 😦

[mellow roost]

I want to see how many hidden gems I can find in terms of food at the grocery store. That Bear Creek soup was incredible for what it was.

[quasi echo]

ive been looking for good street tacos for awhile

[fiery python]

And yet people still won't accept the information from someone who actually has access to it. So maybe don't pick and choose which parts of the company representation you want to accept.

[thin nimbus]

It seems like the nfl sent a video to all teams explaining the rule This part of the article talking about the video

[sick cradle]

Idk man, I’m just gonna have to assume that’s prob the mindset of most Xbox employees which is extremely disheartening.

“Disagreement = ignorant”
N I only caught the tail end of that discussion 😭

[mellow roost]

I really don't want to continue beating this dead horse so I feel like we should just move on.

[short mantle]

Probably should add context. Not a lot of follow football and/or know about what happened and what teams were involved.

[winter forum]

But like...
360 days you could get those games on disc and they still play 15+ years on
This move to digital licensing will put a stop to that and... Yeah I'm upset about it. But also know I'm in a "very few" that will even try to play stuff that old

[fiery python]

How do you know that?

[thin nimbus]

Cowboys vs lions

[fiery python]

I'd say there's a better chance of your digital games being playable in 15 years than your disc based games.

[winter forum]

Can you get PGR4 digitally, now?

[lunar tartan]

That sounds yummy

[winter forum]

Company went bust, content got pulled. It's not a stretch it'll happen again

[sick cradle]

I get that from a mod perspective not wanting to have discourse around but from a customer standpoint it’s not rlly awesome that I get called ignorant n then the conversation just closes.

[fiery python]

If you don't buy a game before it gets delisted, did you really care that much about it?

[molten briar]

You didn't take the time to get the entire scope of the conversation. You don't get to pass any judgment

[sullen forum]

Ignorant does not mean dumb, it means choosing to ignore and avoid the facts and data of an expert in the field as presented to you. IE: Being willfully ignorant by avoiding evidence that does not align with your existing beliefs.

[lunar tartan]

Oh I am still the New York ball lol

[fiery python]

With back compat being supported more and more now, a digital game you buy now is more likely to be playable in 15 years than a physical game you buy now.

[final cove]

Hello

[winter forum]

Wait so... Let's say capcom go bust, you'll still be able to play DMC5 digitally? If you've already bought it? Because that's another bit of the licensing puzzle I'm missing

[mellow roost]

Hiya!

[sullen forum]

Yes (to you crazyman). If a company goes bust, it just means we can't sell any NEW copies to people. Anyone who already has purchased a copy retains access to it.

[fiery python]

Bringing games released before the shift started into the argument isn't really a valid argument. You can't play PGR4 on any modern console now even with the disc.

[tired hare]

Hi 👋🏻

[final cove]

Hey Kylie good to see you

[short mantle]

Xbox cares about bc. You can’t really say the same thing about Nintendo and PS. The only way to play older titles on PlayStation is through their subscription. Nintendo just ports it to whatever new system is out and makes you buy it again.

[thin nimbus]

I have a series s so I have digital anyway but isn't xbox backwards compatible with hard copies as well?

[winter forum]

This is new information to me. Ty.

[calm ether]

Some games aren't on backwards compatibility

[final cove]

Some not all

[quasi echo]

Yep

[sick cradle]

If you don’t buy art before its creator passes away, did you rlly care about their art that much?

Some things are just destined to be lost with time ig

[calm ether]

Im still annoyed that the saboteur isn't bc smhh

[short mantle]

A lot of 360 games are bc. Other than Kinect, every One game is.

[fiery python]

It is extremely rare for a delisted title to be removed from your library. I'm only aware of that happening twice - the first was PT which wasn't even a full game any way and the other is the Sonic DLC in Monster Hunter.

[sick cradle]

But the point still stands, if it happens to one it opens the possibility for it to happen to any

[gray latch]

I can still download and play the toyota yaris game lmao

[quasi echo]

It sounds like theft on paper. but im sure there is more to it

[short mantle]

I think you’re overreacting. One of those games was a demo lol

[sullen forum]

It's literally only going to happen if there is a legal reason it needs to be taken down....

[winter forum]

I think I may have that somewhere on my "purchase list"

[tired hare]

[slender eagle]

kratos vs cheif+doomslayer+wesker

[mellow roost]

Doomslayer is enough.

[fiery python]

It was enough yesterday when you brought these up multiple times too.

[mellow roost]

Chief gets blown out the first second (I'm sorry), Wesker...is probably just gunna annoy Kratos more than anything, and yeah...this has been brought up several times. 😅

[tired hare]

I wonder if the phrase doomslayer is available for a ringtone

[molten briar]

and today in multiple channels..

[quasi echo]

Chief defeated the banished by with the help of a glorified hologram and some random guy. I kinda doubt that

[winter forum]

Could just make it yourself

[quasi echo]

he was literally trained at 6.

[slender eagle]

annoy ?

[tired hare]

Well no because thats not my voice or property

[short mantle]

I usually end up buying a game before it gets delisted. That’s what I did with Deadpool, MUA and Transformers. Funny how all of them are Activision titles 😅

[mellow roost]

Took this screenshot the other day (or whenever) in Skyrim. It was nice.

[quasi echo]

in my pipe dream. they all return and end up on gamepass

[short mantle]

Even if they don’t, they always announce beforehand when a game is getting delisted. If you didn’t buy it before it left the store, that’s on you.

[mellow roost]

I'm using Lux, Graphics Pack, and Busty Skeevers, by the way.

Goofiest name for a mod, that last one, but it's awesome.

Hellblade is the first proper horror game I've ever played and it isnt really a horror game and I still get scared, can't play horror man it's too much

[winter forum]

I guess I just don't like the idea of trusting publisher's, where often they don't behave in users best interests. Where before "I own this, you do you" used to be the way, the current licensing model hands all of that over to third parties. Being apprehensive about that isn't wrong? It's unpredictable. Sure, nothing lasts forever but at least I could see for myself or do something. In the worst case now, it'll be like shaking your fist at a corporation.
Idk. I'm allowed to be old fashioned.

[short mantle]

PS+ is worth it just for Plague Tale. I love that game.

Hi so I know the xbox 360 store goes down on July 29th, but what time and time zone does it go down

Everything just mentions the day but not what time.

[winter forum]

Don't think the time has been officially announced

[fiery python]

I would just make sure you have anything you want no later than the day before.

[glass pollen]

Ok, thank you 🙂

[fiery python]

But in terms of time zone I would assume it's PST where Xbox HQ is.

[glass pollen]

Cool, thank you. I was thinking they would go with est since that's what everyone usually goes with, if it does it would go down at 9 for me but I didn't know for sure

Thank you so much, have a great night 🙂

[final cove]

RIP 360 store

What's your favorite Xbox 360 memory?

[fiery python]

Swapping my 360 for a Wii 😄

[final cove]

I guess that counts?

[short mantle]

Shadowrun is the game I spent most of my time playing. It was a lot of fun back in the day. It took me 5 years to 100%

[fiery python]

At the time I got the 360 I didn't have an HDTV and in many games I couldn't read the text at all on my TV, it was really bad. I'd not had it long, only a couple of months I think.

We wanted to get a Wii as it would be better for my daughter to play on than the 360 as there was nothing she enjoyed on there at her age, but the Wii was hard to get at the time. A work colleague wanted a 360 and had a Wii so we traded.

[autumn hare]

Is evil west on ps essential too?

Cuz if so ill download rn

[fiery python]

That is the Essential tier.

[short mantle]

^

[final cove]

Wow. That sure worked out in that case

I remember it being a real pain to get the first couple years the Wii was out.

[fiery python]

Yep. The game stores were given only seven units at a time and they could only take pre-orders for those seven and none beyond that.

[final cove]

My favorite 360 memory was getting the Xbox 360 Arcade Christmas 2008 when things were really tight financially and I didn't see it coming. My mother got me a hard drive seperate and I REALLY didn't see that one coming either. My first 2 games were Street Fighter 2 and Condemned 2

Seeing this post again cheered me up a little. It's so perfect. 😆

[trail harness]

My first RPG was Chrono Trigger on SNES

[mellow roost]

I can't imagine very many "better" RPGs to start with, honestly. Mass Effect and Chrono Trigger are some phenomenal first ones.

[short mantle]

I don’t remember what my first rpg was

[runic elk]

Mass Effect is still THE best RPG I have ever played

[mellow roost]

Only downside is you're gunna be chasing that high forever. 💀

[final cove]

Mine was either Super Mario RPG or Pokemon Blue

[mellow roost]

Another set of excellent ones to have started with.

[trail harness]

Persona 5 delivered that for me at least anyways

[runic elk]

I also immensely enjoyed Shenmue 1&2

[mellow roost]

Man, another brilliant one to have started with.

[trail harness]

My first platformer was Super Mario World

followed immediately by Super Mario 64

[final cove]

Yeah I got lucky

[mellow roost]

I've never been a huge fan of Shenmue myself, but I completely understand why it's so beloved. Really not many games like it.

[short mantle]

According to ta, the first rpg I played on the 360 was Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

[trail harness]

I want more games like Ghostwire Tokyo ngl

[final cove]

Super Mario RPG and Pokemon Yellow were my training wheels for Final Fantasy X

[winter forum]

TIL Rhinne has a daughter. Just never seen you mention them before I guess

Best 360 memory? Probably Bioshock 1

[runic elk]

It was way ahead it's time

[fiery python]

Secret of Mana

[runic elk]

There weren't any other RPG's like it back then and QTE games were non existent

[mellow roost]

Ayyy, there it is! Another excellent one to have started with.

[fiery python]

Which is getting a sequel in the near future.

[mellow roost]

The Dreamcast was amazing

[fiery python]

[runic elk]

Crazy Taxi, Dino Crisis etc 2 of my favourite games of that generation.

[fiery python]

Way more. Completely blanked those from my memory as I never really played any of them aside from the original back in the day.

[final cove]

@mellow roost what was yours? Or did you answer that

[mellow roost]

I honestly can't remember. If I had to guess, I'd say it would very likely have been something like Pokémon Sapphire.

I was more into racing, fighting, and shooting games back then, not RPGs.

But now I'm into RPGs and not so much other things. Shooters are still my #2 though.

[runic elk]

Pokémon Red and Blue were 2 of the first RPG's I played on the Gameboy when I was a kid. Sooo good

[winter forum]

I liked them at first but it put me off RPGs for a very long time

[mellow roost]

Nintendo has just been kind of insane for memorable games. Sure there were a few meh games, but like...so much of what I played on the NES all the way to the Switch has just been so memorable, even for the more mediocre ones.

Red Steel for the Wii, for example. All things considered, it's...I mean...it's not gunna be winning many awards, but it's just such a cool game.

Very ahead of its time. It felt like VR before VR (and without the whole vision thing, obviously).

Kinda not sure what the hell happened with Red Steel 2, but...eh.

[final cove]

Tastes change as we grow in general

[brave wasp]

My first RPG was KotOR, I was 8 when it came out and I loved it 😆

[mellow roost]

Microsoft will stop making games for the Xbox one at some point. So if you are happy playing the games you have then you don’t need to upgrade. But if you do want to play new titles that are coming out in the next couple of years then you will need to upgrade.

Not at some point. They already stopped.

[granite fable]

Oh dammm fair enough. It makes sense for them to stop tbf.

I wonder if COD will stop releasing on xbox one soon

[fiery python]

Well, it's a first-party studio now and Microsoft no longer release games on XB1, so I would assume that's the end of CoD for XB1.

Unless the games already in progress at the time of the acquisition are allowed to continue, but they may cut them to save money.

Yeah, I remember black ops 3 having an xbox 360 version which was completely terrible lol

[limpid flicker]

Current generation is both 3 years old and barely even out yet.
