general-chat

[gloomy steppe]

Yeah I don't care much about mapping buttons lol. All the ones I mentioned all have at least 10-16 mappable buttons but i never use them even when I had my scuf controller for 360 lol I did use the bumpers on the back though for reload but that was the only thing. Idk if it really is faster but it feels like it to just hit it with my index finger instead of having to reach my thumb over and hit X

[fierce flicker]

yall using battery instead wired 💀

[fiery python]

Because I don't want a six foot cable trailing across my room

[fierce flicker]

lmaooo

[gloomy steppe]

The button layout i was talking about with tbe pivot though, one side has like just A/B buttons like a retro arcade machine i thought it was pretty cool lol but I doubt I'd ever use it

[fiery python]

The battery in my controller lasts about 40 hours any way and I can just charge it overnight every now and then.

[long maple]

same as battery for headset whenever I feel like using them, used to get up and yank the cables wireless is much better

[fierce flicker]

im og ngl not even speakers straight wired to console n headphones to gamepad

[gloomy steppe]

Why would u use wired? You realize lag is non existent these days with modern controllers right? It isn't like the wavebird days on GameCube or the wireless dual shock for PS2 bro lol

[fierce flicker]

im broke cant afford batteries lol n lazy af to avoid recharging em

[gloomy steppe]

Facts. I love it. I have 2 packs I usually keep one sitting in the dock charged and ready for when one dies and I just switch em out

[fiery python]

You only ever need to buy one set.

[long maple]

and yeah same controller 40 hours give or take

[fierce flicker]

40 h must be from tesla huh

[gloomy steppe]

Bro just get a rechargable battery pack? Nobody uses actual batteries in their controller anymore unless they're the lithium rechargeable ones you have to take out and plug up lol

[fierce flicker]

ihave charging trauma from ps3 era rechargeable headset dam things just go off middle of game

[gloomy steppe]

Can't relate I always kept my stuff charged

[fierce flicker]

it isnt enough 3 hours of usage and 13 hours of gameplay time lol

[gloomy steppe]

Yolo

[fierce flicker]

YOLOOOO!

🗿

[gloomy steppe]

I'm about 3 hours into The Quarry still and it's amazing

Although I can't wait to play the indiana Jones later lol I still haven't watched any gameplay or nothing on it yet, waiting to have a fresh experience 😎

[sleek basalt]

I did the same thing. No reviews, no videos, nothing

I'm pretty happy

Indy is getting in the way of my itch to finally play Skyrim again for the first time since 2011

[ripe grotto]

sadly not tired for bed so I guess imma wait till tommorrow to sleep

[iron crane]

I don't quite get the Xbox cloud thing, is there like a server full of series s and x that stream to you ?

[fiery python]

Yes

The servers have Series X hardware in them, streaming the games using the Series S profile.

[iron crane]

Didn't quite get what you mean

Series s profile ?don't get it

[fiery python]

The games are running on Series X hardware, but set to run the games as though they're on a Series S.

[tame vortex]

Morning

[wanton jolt]

ray traced indiana jones today

gonna replay the whole thing to see the difference

[iron crane]

Ah interesting, so game quality will be the same as series s but higher FPS?

[fiery python]

It will run exactly as it does on a Series S

Assuming your connection is good enough to run the stream at its best.

[iron crane]

I see

[gloomy steppe]

Hell even when I cloud game i have pretty decent Internet but you can definitely see it stutter a bit sometimes and kind of load in like an old TV sort of? Idk how to explain it lmao but it isn't bad or anything I'll tell you it runs a whole lot smoother than PlayStations cloud gaming lol

[fiery python]

It's the opposite for me. PS cloud gaming runs well, but Xbox doesn't.

[young fog]

My new lego hobby is getting out of hand already, didnt even finish my first set yet and already got the next two coming 😄

[fiery python]

It's a dangerous hobby. I've got stacks of unopened sets in our spare room 😄

I'm annoyed with them right now though. I'm building the X-Men mansion. I had a missing piece, but thankfully I was able to put something together with spares. But now there's another missing piece which I don't have a spare of and had to get a replacement and wait for it.

[young fog]

Getting there with the Tallneck

[fiery python]

LEGO take too long to send out replacements, so I had to pay for it and lkely won't get it until tomorrow or Wednesday

Nice. You getting the other Horizon sets?

[young fog]

There are other Horizon sets..?

[fiery python]

https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2024/november/lego-horizon-adventures-product-set-launch

[young fog]

Well I am now 😄

Id like a proper sized Thunderjaw

[spiral shore]

lol a big one

[gloomy steppe]

I haven't bought Legos in a longggg time but I kind of want those Animal Crossing ones lol

They look cute. I have both of the Animal Crossing New Horizons collectors boxes

[pure warren]

[near glen]

Guys my brother got hacked and the hacker changed the email and password is there anyway to get it back

[fiery python]

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/account-profile/manage-account/compromised-account-solution

[fickle thistle]

No way to get it back maybe email Microsoft

[fiery python]

If those steps don't help, contact support. https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/xboxdiscord

And tell your brother to not try gamesharing with random people on the internet in future.

[near glen]

Dang he spent hundreds of dollars on it. The hacker is a low life loser

[fiery python]

Accounts don't get hacked. People do careless things that give other people access to the account.

Your brother should have been more careful.

[fickle thistle]

That’s right

[midnight rivet]

Lowkey I hate my xbox

[near glen]

Nah he didn't message anyone he was playing a game and some random things happened

[fiery python]

Right, sure.

[near glen]

But I'ma try to smt and ok he didn't I have his acc on my phone so I checked msg and everything daily

[fickle thistle]

Sounds like someone tryna get a free acc or smth

[fiery python]

Any way, nothing anyone here can do. Let's move on from it, please.

Hi

[near glen]

Hi

[near flower]

How do you check the year in review for yourself?

[fiery python]

https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/year-in-review

Or Google 'Xbox year in review'

[near flower]

Well yeah

But when I do and sign in it just shows me official xbox stuff and cloud gaming

[fiery python]

Dunno then. Works for me.

[limpid flicker]

Yeah that link worked fine for me.

It made me wonder how well I know myself, though. Apparently I like horror games? What?

[round jackal]

Yo

New here
Had some questions cause I just got new series S, server doesn't look very active though

[gloomy osprey]

the black series s?

[fiery python]

It's a Monday and mid-morning EU time. People are working, school etc, or getting ready for that in other time zones.

Just ask your question and people will answer if they can. Or come back later.

[round jackal]

White 512GB

[fiery python]

Just because people aren't actively chatting doesn't mean people aren't here.

[gloomy osprey]

ah

[round jackal]

Oh alright cheers

[round jackal]

Fairs

[gloomy osprey]

I wonder if Stalker 2 is ever gonna get a PS5 release

[limpid flicker]

You're making me wait for those questions you had.

[round jackal]

Oh
Well I was wondering what storage expansions would work for the white Series S or is it just one brand that works

[gloomy osprey]

Seagate expansion drives, they’re made for X/S

[gloomy steppe]

What time is it for you? It's 5:24am for me but I work from home lol and I took today off, just needed a day to myself fr.

[limpid flicker]

Both the Seagate and Western Digital Expansion Card work, but those are the only two brands on the market of NVMe storage for Xbox Series.

[fiery python]

11:25am

[round jackal]

Does only the seagate work is my question?

It's about 200 quid and there were cheaper ones but not sure

[fiery python]

Seagate or Western Digital

[gloomy osprey]

Refer to the image posted by Rhinne.

[gloomy steppe]

Only the Seagate or the WD one

[round jackal]

Alright cheers

[limpid flicker]

Anything that uses USB won't work for current generation games.

[round jackal]

Any idea how hard drives work

[gloomy steppe]

Like it's gotta be either 1 of those for optimized games but regular Xbox one games and 360 you can use an external SSD or HDD

[gloomy osprey]

It’s a lot of magnetic disks spinning really fast with a head that reads/writes to them.

[limpid flicker]

I don't understand the question. Do you want me to explain the technology or do you mean 'how well do they work with Xbox'?

[gloomy steppe]

I always remember learning about it with a floppy disk lol

[gloomy osprey]

Typically they’re not used that often nowadays due to them being less reliable and bigger than SSDs, with their main usage these days being for cheap mass storage.

Although in my opinion they sound absolutely amazing

[gloomy steppe]

I haven't seen a floppy disk since I was probably 12 over a decade ago lmao I'd be surprised if anyone still uses them I know my mom still has her a box full of them in the attic lol

[limpid flicker]

If you've ever been in a server room with several dozen HDDs all constantly being accessed at once, they can be really loud.

[limpid flicker]

Some legacy systems still use them. I remember a few years ago the Japanese government announced they were going to try to replace all of their systems that used floppy discs.

[round jackal]

Sorry bout that

Like would I be able to store games on it from my Xbox then play them when I plug it in

[gloomy steppe]

@round jackal I meant to reply and say basically if you want any storage for your Series S you're gonna have to get either the Seagate drive or the WD one if you want to play new games (Series S/Series X) but if you're still playing older Xbox One/360 games then you'd be fine getting a cheap external HDD or SSD

[gloomy steppe]

Dang

[limpid flicker]

Only games from Xbox One or Xbox 360. Current generation games won't run that way.

[gloomy steppe]

Annoyingly loud🫡 I see a few streamers and stuff with their own servers in their room for minecraft and stuff I always wonder why put it in the room with you it's just gonna heat the room up and be uncomfortably loud lol

[limpid flicker]

I wouldn't mind this room being heated up a little right now. 😛

[gloomy steppe]

Like I said if you're playing regular Xbox one games/360 then yeah you can just get an External HDD but if you're playing any games that say "Optimized" on them and the "Series S/Series X" on it too then you won't be able to load those games with the regular external HDD

I'm close to finishing The Quarry I feel like but I'm not totally sure yet lol

Been playing about 7ish hours

[ornate wadi]

[ornate wadi]

anyone knows how to fix "pops not sure what happened there"

[meager yacht]

ok ill check it out probley wont start for a bit but at least theres only 3 games from this era

[spiral shore]

😄

[meager yacht]

no movies or tv

[spiral shore]

yeah but kotor 1 and 2 are soo good

yeah swtor has nothing to do with the movies

[meager yacht]

yeah i wanna take them slow too i too often speed through most my games

[spiral shore]

yup DO not rush any of the 3 worth it to take it slow enjoy

[gloomy steppe]

Why not?

[meager yacht]

so i take swtor as its own thing ?

but kotor 1 +2 are related to the movies right ?

[spiral shore]

its linked with kotor 1 and 2

no they are not

[meager yacht]

i thought kotor 1+2 were cannon ?

to at least the first 6 films ?

[spiral shore]

they trying but really only a few are like reven but i think its still not really cannon

they don't tie anything to the og games just pulling names and so on

but one day i hope it will be 100 percent cannon

as for now them 3 are their own thing

[meager yacht]

ok ill just imagine them actually happening in the time line wayyyy back 😂

[spiral shore]

the tv side of star wars been trying to do something with them but not as of yet

Yea LOL

[ornate wadi]

"oops not sure what happened there, please try again later"

I have 11.20$ in my account and backup payment, but it won't purchase

[spiral shore]

try later thats been a issue off and on for a few days

[meager yacht]

looks like disney scapped the whole old republic era and made it not cannon

[ornate wadi]

oh okay thanks 🔥

[spiral shore]

ah ok and I am ok with that lol

[meager yacht]

so at one stage it was linked

[spiral shore]

yea ok then lol i know on the timeline page on starwars . com its on there still

[quasi abyss]

guys anyone feel like rocket league doesn't works like what is was?

[round jackal]

Thanks makes sense

Just upgraded from Xbox 1 to Xbox series s and I don't think it's an upgrade at all

Can't use hard drives or play older games

[trail harness]

Ugh just slipped and fell on ice. Landed on my back. Seem to not be hurt though thankfully

[gloomy steppe]

Nah trust me it's an upgrade. You're able to play all new gen games and it has 4K

Still a lot better than the regular Xbox one

[round jackal]

What are new gen games btw

[gloomy steppe]

The games you can only play on the Xbox Series S/X

[round jackal]

Also my brother only wanted it cause he can cross play, whereas I cba,I just liked playing older games and my TV is trash anyway so graphics didn't bother me

[lunar tartan]

@gloomy steppe good morning

[gloomy steppe]

Morning bud

[lunar tartan]

1:30 pm

Here

[round jackal]

Is there a place I can get digital codes for like older games though

[gloomy steppe]

Nice. But yeah basically the Series S and X have games optimized just for them which I have a Series S too and I just had to get a Seagate drive as well it should be arriving tomorrow hopefully but I've been streaming most single player games just cause I'm lazy and don't want to download them and have to delete for space lmaoo

[round jackal]

Like for example,my disc games I had before,could I get them on digital or like own them again or somn

[gloomy steppe]

But I did download The Quarry and it looks amazing in 4K

[round jackal]

What size Seagate?

[gloomy steppe]

Same with Indiana Jones I'm about to play that next after I'm done with The Quarry I bet it looks amazing in 4k lol

[gloomy steppe]

Just 2TB but it should be fine I have 1TB already and I can fit about 4 decent sized games on it already

[round jackal]

Surely that's like 200quid

[gloomy steppe]

So that'll be another 8 with 2TB more I usually don't have more than a few games installed at a time anyway lol if I'm playing a single player game I focus only on it

I got it on sale for Black Friday sales here it was $175ish after taxes

Now the Seagate 1TB is back up to $130 just for it smh

So I'm glad I got it when I did fr

Yeah looks like the cheapest one right now I can find is the WD 1TB SSD one for $129.99 or $139.99 for the Seagate 1TB but it's a little bundle and also comes with a 2TB external drive as well for your regular games

Actually the 2TB WD one is also on sale again too but only 23% off on Amazon it's $199.99 exactly lol that is a decent deal

Yoyo how are you doing

[inner monolith]

All i did was put this guys face and his ip and address and tjats it

Wym? Like you put it in here? So they banned your whole Xbox profile? Or your Xbox?

So confused 😂 I'm kind of intrigued though by the story

[round jackal]

Wow that's a lot of money

It's the same thing for the whole console

I was thinking like whats the point of buying a console that offers you almost everything as the one you currently own and still having to buy a storage card

[gloomy steppe]

It's a good budget console I mean I get it cause the Series X is still around $400 new usually

Apparently it's come out the next Nintendo "Switch" is going to be upwards of $400-$450 and people are mad lol

[west pebble]

Indiana Jones looks realistic.

The face of indy is beautiful.

[spring garnet]

Hi. Anyone than play Indiana Jones and the Great circle and figure out how reload? Because I have an ammo box on my backpack when I arrive on Rome, but I press RT but Indy not reload the gun. Now I'm out of ammo and Indy use the guy like a melee gun

Even the charger number is 0

[west pebble]

I'd love to help but I just started the walkthrough my self.

[graceful nova]

Marvel rivals is sooo lit

[gloomy steppe]

Can't wait to play it in a bit. I'm almost done with The Quarry

[round jackal]

Thanks for your help though
I might probably just backup my lego games then delete to free up space

[knotty pond]

multiplayer games > singleplayer games, who wants to debate on this topic? percieved through fun, and not art

[inner monolith]

So am never getting unsuspended and ip banmed

[round jackal]

Is there a place I can get digital codes for like older games though

Like for example,my disc games I had before on my Xbox 1 before upgrading,could I get them on digital or like own them again or somn

[lost acorn]

i got an xbox for the first time but i havent moved my tv into my room yet, is it possible to connect it to my laptop?

[round jackal]

With a hdmi yeah

[lost acorn]

i connected it

turned off both devices, connected the hdmi to both and powered on, nothing

[round jackal]

Laptop may not be optimized to display at that level then prob, might be worth asking some of the more experienced users here

[knotty pond]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRPvWCiSvjs

[gloomy steppe]

Both are fun in their own way but I prefer single player. I usually play multiplayer after I get tired of playing just singleplayer for a few days

[knotty pond]

I guess it depends how u grew up

I grew up with multiplayer games, and while I can play good singleplayer game, I dont get same fun as I do in multiplayer. Usually it just makes me appreciate art and story, and I get relaxed and forget about reality, but multiplayer are for sure more fun when you compete vs other players and express creativity with outplays

[gloomy steppe]

Man The Quarry is insane rn lmao. I haven't been playing for a few hours but I'm on chapter 5 now and Jesus Christ

[gloomy steppe]

I grew up with both I guess I mean my first online console was the 360 when I was about 11/12 and I started playing MW3 in 2011 when I got my 360 for Christmas that year. Preordered BO2 the next year and loved it that's really what cemented my love for multiplayer for sure

But I also grew up with my GameCube as well lol and OoT, Mario Sunshine, Metroid prime so I was playing single player games first for sure

[astral saffron]

I don’t think Multiplayer is inherently better than single player, but having grown up having to play MP and share, I think I far prefer the social side as well as the competitive side that you just don’t get at all in SP games.

[gloomy steppe]

Yeah i like the social aspect that's it. If I don't have anybody to play with I'm not gonna play by myself online

I'll just go and make progress on an RPG or something

[astral saffron]

Yeah if I’m not playing with anyone I won’t play games at all. I’ll find something else to do entirely.

[gloomy steppe]

Lol but if I have someone to play with I'll play all night and pub stomp for sure

[surreal hamlet]

That's how I feel with cod Easter eggs, so much more fun with friends

[astral saffron]

Yeah exactly. Even if we mess up along the lines or it goes terribly, I’d rather have that fun experience with friends than trying by myself.

[gloomy steppe]

Well I wouldn't say find something else to do entirely but games have always been my release for me fr. It's what I look forward to after a long day at work that and food 🙏🏻 I'll order something on doordash as soon as I get home, take a quick shower and usually my food is here by then and I'll eat and play something, just whatever I'm feeling it depends honestly cause I could play Stardew Valley for 2 weeks straight and then switch to BO6 lol

[spring garnet]

Why Xcloud games are on low graphic settings? I'm playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and the graphics looks like I'm playing on PC with low graphic settings

I use xbox.com/play website

[clear mountain]

saving bandwidth, you may have to change your streaming settings

[gloomy steppe]

Yeah bro I would download that one. That's what I did for it, I usually only Cloud stream games I don't mind not being 4k lmao like Sea Of Stars or something

[clear mountain]

Highly recommend Indiana Jones though

[spring garnet]

There isn't a way to increase graphic settings on cloud?

[clear mountain]

Machine games NAILED the vibe for Indy and the world

[clear mountain]

I don't think so, I think you can better your streaming capability, but you can't change graphics settings directly

[wanton jolt]

I can't run that game now it has ray tracing

[clear mountain]

You can turn off the raytracing

[wanton jolt]

nah it's too good

[gloomy steppe]

Soon as I'm done with The Quarry, Indy is next. Looks like I won't be touching BO6 for a couple days lol

[weak rover]

is the game fully out now or sum? last i saw they were charging 30 or so extra to play test for them

[wanton jolt]

It's fully out now

[fiery python]

It released today

[gloomy steppe]

Yep

[clear mountain]

the extra 30 was for early access and basically the pre-order DLCs

[gloomy steppe]

Free for gamepass but you could have paid $34.99 for early access

[spring garnet]

Also I'm playing using a Series X or Series S?

[gloomy steppe]

?

[fiery python]

I'm going to check it out in about an hour and see how well it performs on my PC now they added the ray tracing. Hopefully I can get into the game more now as I couldn't before.

[clear mountain]

the only bug I've encountered with the game so far is it appears to have some sort of memory leak issue when booting up the game and it's all choppy, but I restart my machine and it's fine 🤷

[gloomy steppe]

How would we know what Xbox u have lol

[spring garnet]

Yes. On Cloud gaming on PC, what console I'm emulating?

[gloomy steppe]

Series S

[spring garnet]

Why not SeriesX?

[gloomy steppe]

Idj

[spring garnet]

Maybe that's why low resolution

[gloomy steppe]

Idk. I think it was one of the mods here said it was Series S but on Series X's hardware? Or something

[spring garnet]

So maybe Series S have low res, and works better for a cloud gaming service, due low resolution

[fiery python]

The service is still in beta and it reduces bandwidth needed.

Streaming games as Series X, with 4K and higher fps can affect performance on streaming. They set how games can stream and the Series S fits that better.

[fiery python]

But by having the Series X hardare in the servers, it means they can scale it up over time and run Series X profiles.

[wanton jolt]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Cloud_Gaming it says series x servers

[gloomy steppe]

Series X servers but apparently running like it's a Series S

Idk I just wondered why they couldn't make it completely Series X

[spring garnet]

Maybe run Series S version of the games it's more stable than run the Series X version

[gloomy steppe]

That map is crazy, not many people have access to Xbox and really makes you think. Grateful

[wanton jolt]

I think it's just xbox cloud gaming not xbox itself

I'm sure the grey areas you can use game pass

[fiery python]

Not all of them

[gloomy steppe]

I was thinking it was the gamepass but I'm pretty sure the gamepass map is as about as big

Not a lot of countries have Xbox

[wanton jolt]

it wouldn't be that grey I don't think

[hearty fox]

@fiery python which is the game pass ultimate for 1 month on cdkeys

[gloomy steppe]

Look it up I swear lol

[fiery python]

Support varies by region. Some have full service, some may have PC Game Pass, but not console or cloud, or vice versa.

[fiery python]

Dunno, ask CD Keys

[hearty fox]

So I can add it on to my 3 months to make it 4 months ultimate game pass

[wanton jolt]

yeah you're right

[gloomy steppe]

A lot people definitely have Xbox but not many countries support being able to go online or gamepass

It's crazy to think about fr

[wanton jolt]

I looked and scroll in the countries available, and I can scroll like less than a turn of a scroll wheel from top to end.

No bs delete there

[fiery python]

You should know not to bring that topic here, @knotty pond

[knotty pond]

ok ok I understand XD

but we will never know haha, which is cool, I get to celebrate both

[gloomy steppe]

Huh

[knotty pond]

its all celebration for me now through 20 january because we ortodox celebrate some saints as well

so catholic christmas, new year, ortodox christmas and saint day for ortodox

[gloomy steppe]

Oh

[fiery python]

@knotty pond You were asked to not bring up those topics here.

[knotty pond]

ok ok chill, I am just saying, not pouring oil on fire

[fiery python]

The point is, don't say.

[knotty pond]

ok

[gloomy steppe]

I just celebrate Christmas man idk nothing about all that lol

[knotty pond]

me too

[fiery python]

I'd be happy not bothering, but I know other people around me enjoy Christmas, so I tolerate the season.

[green laurel]

Tolerate lol

[knotty pond]

I mean I think I understand all these teachings, but I better not talk about it

basically it's same as these people from modern age are doing, leaving comfort zone and having this connected with spirituality so u loosen the line of material world

[gloomy steppe]

Yeah I don't blame you. My girl wants to celebrate every year but my whole family is basically 🪦 so I didn't do much celebrating before her 😂

[green laurel]

Rhinne dont you love going into stores and have music blaring 24/7 in December 😛

[gloomy steppe]

I genuinely do like Christmas though, I like the lights and snow, sitting in front of a fireplace in a cabin that's a real Christmas haha

[knotty pond]

yes its cool

[fiery python]

If it were just December that wouldn't be too bad, but it starts in November, or sometimes October.

[gloomy steppe]

I used to work retail in my later teens trust me it's horrible 😂

[fiery python]

I don't go out often, so I can escape most of it, but not a fan of it all starting super early.

[green laurel]

I know muahaha

[knotty pond]

Rhinne is doomer we all get it

[fiery python]

No, I just don't like Christmas for a number of personal reasons.

[knotty pond]

ok ok... whatever u say XD

[green laurel]

Personally dont celebrate Christmas but its holidays so time to be with family

[fiery python]

I'd much rather buy gifts for people at random times in the year. It means more then than buying because capitalism and social obligation demands it on the specific date.

[knotty pond]

I like that we have these celebrations during the year

people can get together and celebrate

new year is the best for me

[tired hare]

Happy december 🔥🔥🔥

[knotty pond]

uckpac is that Vucic? Serbian president? XD

[tired hare]

Does gamepass ultimate have a 1 year plan or is the max 3 months

[fiery python]

3 months is generally the maximum

[tired hare]

Yes, representing the mighty albania hes albanian

[fiery python]

Outside of promotions and prizes

[knotty pond]

1 month for me, idk where u buy 3 months

[gloomy steppe]

Usually when I get extra $$$ from side hustles or whatever I do the same and buy my family gifts. Won $700 on Fanduel last week and took mom shopping lol

[tired hare]

25 euro 3 months gift card

[knotty pond]

these are illegal most of them are stealing money XD

[tired hare]

What? Theyre sold in official retailers

[gloomy steppe]

Is it really 25 for 3 months of ultimate? Or is it the other one?

[knotty pond]

not on xbox so illegal in my opinion

many people said that to me that I should be careful buying from those

literally here on discord

[tired hare]

Bro Ive seen them at every official big retailer here

[knotty pond]

I only buy from xbox console official

[tired hare]

U can literally google 3 months gamepass ultimate

[gloomy steppe]

Yeah I wouldn't trust any gift cards from G2A or CDkey I just wouldn't risk it honestly man

[knotty pond]

idk rly

[tired hare]

Not g2a, physical stores

[knotty pond]

better to listen to christmas songs and buy xbox official from console

and drink coffee regulary

cigars are fine, but I should give up on those

[gloomy steppe]

I know I just wondered cause I did buy a 1 year ultimate pass myself off of eBay when I got my Xbox lol it was $120

I think the person I bought from still has them cause I be getting emails from eBay sometimes telling me I can order again

[tired hare]

Im on a budget and thinking about a series s

It seems a very good deal for the money

[gloomy steppe]

Do it that's what I got too I only paid $250 for mine

[tired hare]

Yh Im waiting for xmas sales

[knotty pond]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEd4hmDRDwQ listen to this guys for christmas

[gloomy steppe]

If ur in the US I know target has them for like $275 right now new and GameStop they're I think $264 I wanna say

[tired hare]

Europe

[gloomy steppe]

[livid arch]

Radiohead

[deft monolith]

Hey hey hey

[livid arch]

Over and over i keep going over the world we knew

[deft monolith]

What song is that

[livid arch]

Frank Sinatra the world we knew

Give it a try , its very relaxing

[deft monolith]

Oh frank, he’s good

[livid arch]

Jazz isnt really listened anymore but this one is an all time classic

[deft monolith]

Thanks for the recommendation

[livid arch]

No problem

[mighty sequoia]

So this game is pretty good so far

Better than I thought it would be

[gloomy steppe]

Wow, Sea of Thieves: 2024 has 283 different achievements that insane for such a small game

[mighty sequoia]

Pretty cool to get Indiana Jones on day one Game Pass

This is such a good console. I wish Microsoft had handled this generation better

Could have beat the brakes off of Sony if they made better decisions

[gloomy steppe]

Lol

I enjoy Xbox. Gamepass is definitely one of the bigger reasons I went with Xbox this time

[mighty sequoia]

Gamepass is great

Ive gotten a ludicrous number of hours of gameplay for the money I've spent

[gloomy steppe]

Can't wait till my expansion pack comes in the mail. Should hopefully be tomorrow and then I'll be able to download at least a good 6-8 more games out of the 2TB

[mighty sequoia]

But tbh most of my time has been spent playing older games with FPS boost and every now and then, an exclusive. But Indiana Jones is the first time I've even turned it on in a couple of months

[mighty sequoia]

Expansion pack? What's that?

[gloomy steppe]

My SSD. 2TB

[mighty sequoia]

Oh ok

[gloomy steppe]

The expansion pack you just plug it in the back of your Xbox, there's a slit for it to plug into

Not an external harddrive.

[mighty sequoia]

Gotcha. Yeah I always thought extra console storage was pointless as I never played more than a couple games at once. But since I got the ps5 pro with all that extra space, I don't think I could go back to a low storage machine

[mighty sequoia]

Interesting. How much are they?

[gloomy steppe]

Uh idk just depends where you're from I guess

[mighty sequoia]

US

it's ok. I'll look it up

[gloomy steppe]

I got mine on sale during black Friday sales, I paid $175ish after tax for 2TB Seagate one. I kind of wish I had gotten the WD one tho

[fiery python]

I just wish there was a way to have more than one connected.

[gloomy steppe]

Right now though they're back up in price. The 1TB WD expansion card is about $100 and then around $200 for the 2TB

Yeah I know it lol

Have like a little mini server dock for them 😂 set it next to the Xbox

[mighty sequoia]

The install size for Indiana Jones was pretty damn chunky

[fiery python]

I had the 1TB card at first, but then later upgraded to the 2TB. The 1TB was then useless because I can't be bothered getting up, messing around reaching the console behind my TV, to switch expansion cards.

So that card was useless and I gave it away.

[gloomy steppe]

Yeah with the advanced textures it was around 130gb

[idle spear]

Got the seagate 2TB one for about £170 on sale

Even 2TB I’m finding is not enough anymore

[gloomy steppe]

I figured I might as well go ahead and get the 2TB one Rhinne, I already know have 1TB i didn't figure adding just 1 more would be worth it for $99 so I went on and got the 2. It was $149.99 on sale from 200 and after tax it ended up around 175

Which I don't guess is too bad of a deal but still that's crazy expensive for just an SSD

Yeah the Seagate one is the one I got too but I kind of wish I had gotten the WD one lol

[mighty sequoia]

Damn really? What are you doing that's taking so much space? Gameplay footage?

[gloomy steppe]

I usually don't have more than around 5-7 games installed at a time (games over 100GB) like right now I've got BO6, indiana Jones,The Quarry, and dead island 2 right now and I have 3.3 GB free LOL

So I got 4 decent titles in 1TB and once I beat indy and quarry they'll be deleted again same for dead island 2 when I finish it

[mighty sequoia]

That's one thing that SUCKS on Xbox compared to ps5, is how much easier it is to record and manage gameplay captures

[gloomy steppe]

I need to get on that but I got time lol😂

[gloomy steppe]

Gotta be lol

Sometimes I be accidentally hitting the button and recording screenshots and minute long clips and I feel dumb lol

[mighty sequoia]

I've got 2TB on my ps5 pro and I've got 37 games downloaded for God sake. So hearing that 2TB isn't enough sounds crazy to me. Lol

[gloomy steppe]

I also don't have any apps downloaded either rn since my 4K tv is a Roku TV too I just use it for everything

[clear mountain]

Indiana Jones sitting at an 86 is pretty sweet

[mighty sequoia]

Way higher for me

Oh you mean Metacritic. My bad dude

[clear mountain]

yeah lmao

I think an 86 is kind of the perfect score for it

[gloomy steppe]

Has IGN rated them yet?

[vague ocean]

Any good games to play on game pass I'm bored somehow

[clear mountain]

the only real downside i have with it, is that the enemies are kind of stupid

[gloomy steppe]

What did those nerds give em I wonder.

[mighty sequoia]

9/10

[clear mountain]

Indiana Jones

[gloomy steppe]

Oh wow, they did something right for once lol

[vague ocean]

Regular game pass

[clear mountain]

for console?

[vague ocean]

Yes

[gloomy steppe]

Yep

[clear mountain]

it's on console as well

I saw it on my series X just last night

[gloomy steppe]

Yeah

[mighty sequoia]

Yeah I kinda like that because it seems like the movies. Lol

[gloomy steppe]

I've had it preinstalled like 2 days now lol

[mighty sequoia]

Yeah I'm playing on series X

It's coming to ps5 though right?

[clear mountain]

the only real bug I've encountered (on PC) is that sometimes it gets hella choppy when it boots up, but then I restart my machine and it's fine, my guess is some weird memory leak issue

[gloomy steppe]

I'm just about finished with The Quarry and then I'll be starting Indy. The Quarry is insane though bro like jeez lol. I'm definitely buying it before if leaves gamepass so I always have it

[gloomy steppe]

Press ✖️ to doubt

[vague ocean]

Any good games for consol standard game pass

[clear mountain]

Indiana Jones

[gloomy steppe]

A bunch

[vague ocean]

That's ultimate for me it is

[clear mountain]

ah

[gloomy steppe]

The Quarry, As Dusk Falls, Sea Of Stars, AC Origins and Valhalla I could go on

Got so many to choose from lol just depends what you like. I'm more into action RPG's myself and then I like interactive games too

[clear mountain]

Vahalla is so funny, it's an awful AC game, but a really good Norse myth/Viking action RPG

[gloomy steppe]

You're tripping lmao. Valhalla was probably one of the best ones along with Origins

Oh nvm you said as an AC game lol yeah they kind of killed the AC story a long time ago

[knotty pond]

mirage was the best in these last new age series

[gloomy steppe]

Ubisoft just does that smh

Mirage was pretty cool

[clear mountain]

playing Valhalla I was basically just like "I have hammer, I go BONK"

[gloomy steppe]

Real

[knotty pond]

it starts great at least

[gloomy steppe]

You gotta admit it was really fun though lol the boss fights were pretty cool

I wish I could play Ori and the blind forest again for the first time

Such a good game and the sequel is awesome too

[vague ocean]

I 100% each new gen AC during summer

[fiery python]

I finished Origins and Odyssey, but I couldn't get through Valhalla. So tedious and dull.

[vague ocean]

Ngl this community is chill

[tired hare]

For an Xbox series s was is the usb port is it usb a? USB C?

[gloomy steppe]

I haven't 100% an AC game since assassin's creed 3 bro lmao. And that took me weeks of trying to follow guides for some achievements on game forums on my grandma's computer 😂

[sterile sequoia]

it is an usb A

[tired hare]

Thank u

[vague ocean]

What is the best new gen AC

[gloomy steppe]

Shame on you

🙏🏻

[sterile sequoia]

didnt like valhalla too

[gloomy steppe]

I'll die fighting for Valhalla.

[sterile sequoia]

[gloomy steppe]

Why did you send someone their IP address acting like a little kid lmao you know everyone is sensitive these days I mean they've got AI that literally listens to you talk in game chat

[inner monolith]

Just help in any way if u made xbox server you should have commands to unban un suspend

[gray latch]

id:customize - no meaning really, just pick the color you like

[gray latch]

[inner monolith]

Yes

[gloomy steppe]

So bc someone made the Xbox server they should be able to unban ur xbox account?

[gray latch]

that's on you for a bad assumption

[gloomy steppe]

?? What kind of sense does that make

[mighty sequoia]

Confused as to what I'm witnessing here. Lol

[fiery python]

@inner monolith I told you this morning that no one here can help you.

Do not bring it up again.

[vague ocean]

How does it work I don't know how to change thr color

[inner monolith]

[inner monolith]

[fiery python]

We won't tolerate any kind of homophobia here either.

[mighty sequoia]

I'll take "How to get banned" for $300 Alex

[gloomy steppe]

Just make a new Xbox account or something bro idk what to tell u buddy

[inner monolith]

My mb mb

[fiery python]

If you continue to bring up your enforcement action, you'll be banned here too. Move on.

[inner monolith]

I hope u get banned

[mighty sequoia]

Bruh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[gloomy steppe]

Lmao

[gray latch]

Anyone know MF Doom?

[gloomy steppe]

Lil bit. Wbu

[mighty sequoia]

Legend

[vague ocean]

Rap snitches, one beer, bomb thrown those are my top 3

[mighty sequoia]

Accordion is maybe my favorite hip hop song ever.

[vague ocean]

I listen to both Doom and Czar

[mighty sequoia]

Mad Villainy is one of the best hip hop albums ever made

[mighty sequoia]

Czarface meets Metalface FTW

real hip hop like that barely exists anymore, if at all

[vague ocean]

bomb thrown is a masterpiece from both Czar and Doom

[mighty sequoia]

I need Drugs by Necro is another that I love

I imagine it's Spyro?

[raw shoal]

Some morning flight sim to get the day started haha

[vague ocean]

What is the worst xbox game known to man

[fiery python]

Why focus on the negatives rather than what you enjoy?

[desert sonnet]

Oh wait the hashtag is #scoremorewithxbox . It's gotta be something to do with their credit card or cloud gaming stick? Hmm

[raw shoal]

Gotta find the good in gaming lol. Sims and relaxing games are my go to as they help me unwind and just get into something i wouldn’t be doing otherwise

[astral saffron]

I agree but the correct answer is Peppa Pig 😆

[raw shoal]

Realistically flying 767’s isn’t in my cards, but thanks to MSFS I can kinda live that out

[astral saffron]

This would really make my day if it was Black & White remake. The way the beam comes in like the first game’s god being born and coming to the planet… although I assume it’s probably Fable or something

https://youtu.be/e8sfa_KKpFY?si=gfO5TPr2UMpbIsmS

kind of but not the same

Can probably skip to the last 20 seconds

[desert sonnet]

Good guess!

[fiery python]

Little Big Planet on Xbox 😄

[astral saffron]

I’d love a new LBP and not just a sackboy game, although that was fun to play on PC

I’m going to keep with my insane amount of hoping it’s black & white though 😆

I don’t have twitter so I can’t see replies. What are other people theorising?

[fiery python]

Most people seem to be assuming it's about the handheld or an Xbox mini.

[astral saffron]

Oh that would be cool too

I didn’t even think hardware because he said it’s not hardware related lol.

But could just be throwing people off the scent.

[fiery python]

Yeah, most of those replies would be before seeing what he said, or people who haven't seen/ignored it.

[astral saffron]

I suppose we wait patiently now and see what happens! 🤞

[fiery python]

I never had an original Xbox, so if they were to make an Xbox mini it's not really something I'd be that interested in.

Plus I would imagine the games would be very limited due to licensing and probably a selection of the very few OG games that are back compat.

[astral saffron]

It would be cool, I wouldn’t get one either, but why wouldn’t they just release those games as backwards compatible if they were going to do something like that?

[fiery python]

I would assume they'd only be able to use the games that are currently back compat.

[stray beacon]

Picking up both blasphemous games, salt and sanctuary, and hollow knight for the switch soon. On a soulslike kick currently

[astral saffron]

I didn’t see an announcement date or anything, hopefully soon(ish) though.

[fiery python]

Probably at the game awards

[stray beacon]

Both blasphemous games have pretty cool collectors editions so if I like the games enough I may buy them later down the line

[astral saffron]

Maybe Grounded 2 which I wouldn’t be angry about either. So many possibilities lol

[mint pike]

do u guys know how to get lots of xbox points?

[fiery python]

Gamerscore, or reward points?

[mint pike]

reward points

[fiery python]

Buy lots of games

[mint pike]

buy the free games or the money games

[fiery python]

If it's free you're not really buying.

Nor will you get reward points.

[mint pike]

is that the only way?

[fiery python]

You asked how to get 'lots'. That's how you get lots.

If you don't want to spend money, then you do the daily tasks, searches etc. But you won't get lots and you won't earn them fast.

[mint pike]

ok ty

[tall forge]

reward points are basically bonuses

unfortunately i cant use it because im in an unapproved nation (Kazakhstan)

[sterile sequoia]

spended my last 3/4k (dont know the exact amount) points for an 2 euro giftcard to buy the last few codpoints i needed for an bundle

[tall forge]

would have probably gotten about 100 dollar worth of "bonuses"

[fiery python]

I have to wait until Jan 1st to spend my points.

[silk mountain]

Spotify just recommended me a playlist, calling it my "Late 2000's Indie Electro-Sleaze Phase". Like WDYM lol

[tired hare]

Even after buying games I still don't get alot and some if you have like 100k reward points

[gloomy steppe]

Rip

[fiery python]

Because you need to buy a lot - and not cheap games.

[gloomy steppe]

Get those challenges done

[fiery python]

The more you spend, the more you get.

Also being level 2 and a Game Pass subscriber earns you more.

[silk mountain]

So my heartfelt love for microsoft won't get me more points?

[raw shoal]

Do you get rewards points for buying hardware? I can’t remember if you do or not

[fiery python]

If you purchase from the Microsoft store, yes.

[raw shoal]

I thought it did, I had a bunch at one point, I think it was from a bunch of controllers I got from the Microsoft store

[subtle trout]

Only in Ohio 😂

[knotty pond]

do games that use dx12 on epic games launch as dx12 immediately?

[sterile sequoia]

depends on the title

[knotty pond]

how do u change to dx12 then?

[sterile sequoia]

in game settings

[knotty pond]

u sure? i dont wanna mess up and buy games on sale there, I can just buy on steam

[sterile sequoia]

im sure

[knotty pond]

but they give 10% back in virtual money

I wanna buy a lot of games this new year

what games are there to play that are similar to these: Rdr2, hogwarts legacy, spiderman remastered and miles morales, god of war

big titles must play only and recent, can u tell me pls, anyone

ill buy alan wake 2 as well

I want to experience big titles sp games next year, must play games

[fiery python]

I'm sure Google could tell you.

[lucid sinew]

You like Xbox ?

[knotty pond]

haha

[limpid flicker]

A site where "other users says this is similar to..." for games would be a nice idea.

[knotty pond]

writing this sentence instead of telling me few games is same time lost and effort

[fiery python]

It's more effort than you're putting in to solve your own query.

[knotty pond]

I played cyberpunk and witcher 3, but I wanna hear ur opinions on some rly big titles

[limpid flicker]

Who says we know what games fit that criteria?

[knotty pond]

yeye sure u dont know, its ok u dont need to put effort to tell random stranger stuff on discord

[fiery python]

We know

[knotty pond]

but I guess writing go google makes u more of a fool then it sounds to u

[gray latch]

[silk mountain]

Guys should I get a tattoo

[safe thicket]

Hi

[limpid flicker]

I ain't worried about adding to the list of people who think I'm a fool.

[safe thicket]

Guys should I buy Xbox game keys from instant gaming? I just got a used Xbox one with a 1tb SSD for cheap

[gray latch]

someone I went to school with once said "in order for me to feel insulted I'd have to care about your opinion" and I think about that a lot

[sterile sequoia]

it is your body not ours best to just think about it for yourself

[silk mountain]

But I care about other's opinions. I'm thinking about getting an Xbox tattoo

[mighty sequoia]

This strikes me as super weird

[safe thicket]

Sure go for it

[gray latch]

I would never get a brand tattoo tbh (and I love tattoos)

[silk mountain]

Done. Thanks for your input internet stranger

[spiral shore]

never care what other like a tat is for you and thats it take from someone who has a half sleeve

[safe thicket]

How so? I'm just asking to buy games because I have never owned a gaming PC or a console before and games on the official web are very expensive

[safe thicket]

Hope it helped

[mighty sequoia]

Ok

[fiery python]

Never heard of it, so no.

[safe thicket]

Should I buy games from websites like cd keys? Where do y'all buy cheap games for Xbox or do you pay the full price on Xboxs website?

[fiery python]

Anywhere that's not an official reseller is at your own risk.

[safe thicket]

It somehow has 700k reviews on trust pilot 👀

[spiral shore]

i buy cheap game from the xbox store when they go on sale

[safe thicket]

Oh, I'm Tryna buy Minecraft for me and my brother to play, where should I try to get it from

[mighty sequoia]

Well if you've got 700k reviews to go off of, then either trust those reviews or don't

[fiery python]

G2A has nearly 300K reviews. Doesn't mean it's to be trusted. I wouldn't take anything from there for free.

[spiral shore]

had a buddy have account issues using one of them sites

[safe thicket]

True, I heard g2a scamming peoples credit cards

[safe thicket]

That's scary

[mighty sequoia]

Where did you hear that?

[safe thicket]

Reddit and discord servers

[fiery python]

There's a lot of reports of it.

[spiral shore]

Xbox store has weekly sales I would just keep an eye on there but that is me

[safe thicket]

They said to fully avoid G2A and kinguely

[fiery python]

They're well known to allow sellers that sell stolen keys.

[limpid flicker]

You have to ask yourself where the savings are coming from? They're not gonna sell to you for less than it costs, and they're not the publisher able to discount games when they want, so... where?

[safe thicket]

Oh, I never thought of that

[spiral shore]

LIKE i just got cyberpunk digital for $23 off the Xbox store

[safe thicket]

I'm sorry if I sound dumb but I've never actually bought games before, I had cousins recommend me getting a Xbox one to start with

[plush heart]

hello chat

[mighty sequoia]

Plus you have zero recourse if anything goes wrong with the key or the download. Just buy the games straight up and avoid nonsense. Or try to find physical copies cheap online

[spiral shore]

not dumb at all ask away

[safe thicket]

It has a X at the end so it's a Xbox one and X if that makes a difference

[lucid sinew]

I bought mars war logs for 1$ using my rewards

[limpid flicker]

Not dumb, but just inviting you to think of it. There are various ways they can get games cheap, but those ways aren't always very good or honest.

[plush heart]

dam

[mighty sequoia]

Xbox One X. It's basically the Pro version of the Xbox One, the first Xbox to do 4k

[safe thicket]

Yes I've just realised, that could've comed from someones hard earned money or someone's old account

[safe thicket]

I have a 1080p ips panel tho, is it good enough?

I think 24 inch

[limpid flicker]

Or from abusing regional pricing differences, which is against rules but hard to prevent.

[boreal osprey]

I once had a Convo here about this and got told I'm the odd one out for thinking gold is weird💔😮‍💨

[fiery python]

Don't bypass the filter please @mighty sequoia

[lucid sinew]

I feel bad for that guy that got banned and got his account taken from a Sony employee

[limpid flicker]

Sure if that really happened.

[safe thicket]

So should I buy the games from Xbox official website, my first game I wanna buy is Minecraft, I have about like 20 EUR to spend

[boreal osprey]

I wish my country had rewards 💔

[fiery python]

Considering who it is, I'm not going to fully believe their story unless there's actually confirmation of it. That Hakoom dude was super sketchy.

[mighty sequoia]

Sorry I didn't think bleeping the word out was bypassing, but ok

[fiery python]

Yes

[boreal osprey]

Turn on your Xbox, go to the store, and buy the game

[limpid flicker]

Have you considered Game Pass? There's a lot of games, Including Minecraft, which are included in that price.

[fiery python]

It's still very clear what is being said, so not that different from there being profanity in chat.

[safe thicket]

I don't know what gamepass does, my cousin said it's a waste of money and I didn't do my research on it

I know it's monthly and it has different tiers

[fiery python]

Probably worth you doing some research, rather than just taking the word of your cousin, to be honest.

[limpid flicker]

Pay your monthly subscription, you get a bunch of games that you can play without having to buy them... as long as the subscription lasts.

[fiery python]

Game Pass is basically Netflix but for games. Small monthly payment and you get access to about 500+ games.

[mighty sequoia]

Google is your friend. A friend that sometimes lies, but generally you can get the truth out of him eventually

[tall forge]

somehow i can play rocket league online without game pass

[fiery python]

Because Rocket League is F2P

[spiral shore]

its afree game

[safe thicket]

So I can play all of them with gamepass without paying money for the games

I have 2 controllers so can I play with my little brother Minecraft with gamepass?

[spiral shore]

F2P games don't need gamepass core and u p

[graceful nova]

You pay like u do for Netflix or Hulu

[mighty sequoia]

You pay the monthly Gamepass fee and then can play all the games in the Gamepass library without spending additional money

[tall forge]

cant play crossout without going online (gamepass)

[safe thicket]

So I assume gamepass is very expensive

[tall forge]

crossout is free btw

[safe thicket]

I have to check prices in Germany, maybe what you're saying is worth it than buying all those game individual

[mighty sequoia]

It's not bad. I pay for it and it's so little I barely notice it come out of my account. $10-15 per month or something

[tired hare]

Should i get a 1080p or 1440p monitor for xbox series s

[lucid sinew]

20$ a month is pretty expensive for games you might not play.

[boreal osprey]

Game pass is expensive if you can't afford to rebuy it every month, I suggest to just buy a game you know you'll like

[safe thicket]

Will I get all the 500 games in the 15 euros?

[boreal osprey]

Ok Scrooge McDuck

[vocal gorge]

Think I'm done with Call of Duty again. Biggest mistake was getting back into it but won't have to worry about that no more, or my odd rant post about it as I uninstalled it and have no intention of downloading it again. This time I plan to stay well clear of that game for good. Felt happier when I wasn't playing them

[safe thicket]

Gamepass Core is the cheapest for 7 euros

[fiery python]

Depends on the context.

For what you get, it's very cheap. Way cheaper than buying even a small percentage of the total content.

But looking purely at the price, some people may consider $20/month to be expensive.

So it's all about how you look at it.

[tired hare]

Should i get a 1080p or 1440p monitor for xbox series s

[tall forge]

the only game i played on ultimate is assassins creed, then i decided to buy ubisoft+ instead since it has better selection of games and i basically never go onlind

[boreal osprey]

Yes, but they will be gone when the time expires, you can rebuy the game pass and you will have them again ( but if I am not wrong some games may be gone but new ones will be there, I could be wrong (

[safe thicket]

Which gamepass is the most worth it, and also 1 more question I'm sorry if I am being annoying, can I download the game from gamepass and play it offline? Our internet is not very stable but we are getting a new one very soon

[limpid flicker]

Are you clear that by paying for a month, you get those games only for one month?

[fiery python]

Ultimate

[safe thicket]

Oh, what if I keep paying monthly? I keep the games right?

[tall forge]

unless you main fps games, ultimate is not worth it for its price

[boreal osprey]

Yes

[tired hare]

Yes

[vocal gorge]

1440p being the higher resolution I'd probably opt for that tbh

[limpid flicker]

You keep them as long as you pay. You never own them.

[safe thicket]

Oh....

[lucid sinew]

I remember when gamepass was $16.99

[tired hare]

Still you get discounts on games

[boreal osprey]

You are basically renting them

[safe thicket]

What do you recommend I should do, I'm doing a part time job aswell which pays me like 250 euros after taxes

[tall forge]

and ive basically stopped paying for gamepass since they removed hitman from it

[boreal osprey]

Economy so bad even 17$ looks like a lot to me

[tired hare]

Buy an xbox series s and gamepass ultimate

[mighty sequoia]

How much is it now? I never agreed to an increase but it must be coming out every month

[tall forge]

i never wanted to own hitman for its price for such a short game

[safe thicket]

I already bought a Xbox one X

[tired hare]

siema bobry

[boreal osprey]

Hitman😍
But isn't it rlly cheap now? I spent like 300$+ on it just for them to turn the 3 games into one

[tired hare]

Its last gen it

[lucid sinew]

That increase happened in July

[mighty sequoia]

How much did you pay for that console?

[limpid flicker]

Price increase? I have it until 2027, so I'm happy. 😛

[safe thicket]

Is it a bad investment? I got all of it with a 1tb SSD and 2 controllers for 120 €

[tall forge]

its good but really short

[mighty sequoia]

What's that in USD?

[boreal osprey]

It's not bad if you enjoy it

[tall forge]

unfortunate really

[tired hare]

Its a good console but its last gen meaning it wont get newer games

[safe thicket]

126 usd

[safe thicket]

I will enjoy it 🙂

[boreal osprey]

There are a bunch of challenges and side missions and dlcs, ion think it's short but it is buggy

[mighty sequoia]

Then yeah that's a decent deal. You won't get some of the newer stuff but there's still plenty to play

[lucid sinew]

Buy an Xbox 360 and pretend it’s 2015

[safe thicket]

Yea idc about the newer games rn, I can probably keep it for a year or 2 then buy a better Xbox later on if I save enough money

[boreal osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/xbox360-xbox-logo-gif-13768406

[tall forge]

i expect more missions though for its 300$+ price

[tired hare]

Then you good you can also buy used games for cheaper

[safe thicket]

My cousin has the Xbox 360

That's why I even wanted a xbox

[tired hare]

Same

[boreal osprey]

It's 300+ for dlcs and all the 3 games

[safe thicket]

It was so fun playing on it

[safe thicket]

Then what about the gamepass

[boreal osprey]

My bad it's more like 250+

[tall forge]

i know, no base game is gonna be 300

[tired hare]

You can get it too instead its a great deal

[limpid flicker]

Hitman that much, really? Wow.

[safe thicket]

Oh so games become cheaper?

[boreal osprey]

Not anymore

[tall forge]

or 250

[tired hare]

You get discounts

[safe thicket]

To buy and own them, I think you're saying that I get discounts

[boreal osprey]

They have massive discounts ( at least on steam)

[tired hare]

You get big discounts with gamepass

[limpid flicker]

Every week there are special offers, sometimes older games get nice big price drops.

[tired hare]

You know what else is massive?

[boreal osprey]

MY MOM

[limpid flicker]

One of the Ubisoft studios?

[tall forge]

you can exploit it to buy so many games for cheaper to the point that you made your 20 dollars on gamepass back

[safe thicket]

So right now for me I think I most logical thing is that I should get the gamepass, it's 18 euros I think per month and I get a wide range of games I get to pay but I have to pay monthly, I can easily pay 20 euros out of my money every month and that includes me not buying used games because I have everything on it, and also it's saying I get to play online with gamepass

[boreal osprey]

Yes

[tired hare]

Yes

Im so excited to get the series s for new year

[limpid flicker]

Yes, Game Pass is a great deal for most typical customers.

[vocal gorge]

found something weird about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Seems to be two versions of the game going about just now on PC. One that supports upscaling and full ray tracing (Nvidia GPU owners) and another that has none of that (AMD and maybe Intel GPU owners) lol

[tired hare]

For casual gamers the best combo is series s and gamepass

[tall forge]

and fps gamers

[safe thicket]

Wait so, I promise this is the last question I won't annoy you further. If I pay for Xbox gamepass for 1 month with my mom's card right now because I already spent all my money on my salary, and I pay for gamepass on her credit card but next month I pay for it on my card and keep it like that, if I leave Xbox game pass for like a day or 2 after a month, will I still have my data saved like progress and Minecraft world's and everything? Thanks again for all of your answers

[tall forge]

and turkish users too cuz they get discounts

[tired hare]

I think yes

[safe thicket]

I meant would I have my progress if I buy it again from my card and keep it a recurring purchase

[tired hare]

Btw gamepass is also good if you plan on getting a pc later

[limpid flicker]

Data will always be saved if you're logged in with the same Xbox account, regardless of payment method.

[safe thicket]

I do actually

[fiery python]

It's not so much a discount and more localised pricing given their lower income.

[safe thicket]

Even if I leave Xbox gamepass for a day or 2?

[long tangle]

i have a question
im using my xbox and everytime im about to finish the same gta mission the xbox shuts down
any idea why

[tired hare]

Gamepass also works on pc so you could play your gamepass games from xbox on pc

[tall forge]

your progress is saved even if you lose your subscription

[safe thicket]

Wow that's very good

[tired hare]

Yes since you have a microsoft account

[limpid flicker]

Yes. Even if you leave for months, TBH. Your data will be on the console, and also saved in the cloud when you are online.

[fiery python]

Your save data has nothing to do with Game Pass.

[tall forge]

i can buy gamepass ultimate for 8 dollars in turkish lira

[safe thicket]

Even if the saved data I'm talking about are on the gamepasses games?

[fiery python]

Yes, but your income as a Turkish citizen is lower.

[fiery python]

Yes

[safe thicket]

Ok

[tired hare]

Bro in my country its 20 euros and the salary is maybe even lower than turkey

[long tangle]

i think its bc i haven’t cleaned my vents in a long time but it stops at the same point everytime its not a coincidence

[graceful nova]

So how about them marvel rivals female characters designs?

Looks liiiitt

[limpid flicker]

Haven't seen them. I assume some gamers are saying they're ugly tho.

[graceful nova]

Every few I bet

[fiery python]

There's some decent character designs, although some look a little odd. Wolverine has some questionable proportions.

[graceful nova]

Look them up they are AMAZING! 🤩 I’m hyped for skins to start coming out

[graceful nova]

He’s does

[tall forge]

ok forgive me

[tired hare]

Is gta iv on gamepass

[fiery python]

No

[keen forge]

It’s on sale tho

[tired hare]

How much?

[limpid flicker]

I'm not entirely sold on that art style TBH. I'm definitely not sold on Cap being nearly as big as the Hulk.

[fiery python]

Price varies by region. Check via xbox.com

We all know the best character design is - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GcLxHbKWkAAA2eX.jpg:large

Hope they put in miles, carnage and gwen in rivals at some point

[keen forge]

Idk you might have to check, without game pass it’s £17.99

[safe thicket]

Guys do I need to pay 18 eur for all the games in gamepass? How many more so I get for like 10 😢

[fiery python]

What do you mean? 10 games? 10 Euros?

[safe thicket]

Lemme explain

I put the filter as Xbox one in Microsoft gamepass and it only showed me 19 games??? What's that about

[fiery python]

No idea

[limpid flicker]

That seems unexpected, check your filter again.

[thin nimbus]

Isn't there still a lot of players still playing this one?

[keen forge]

Must be 19 games labelled Xbox one especially

[safe thicket]

Ohhh yea it is

[keen forge]

Probably but they’ll be forced to buy the new one 🤑

[safe thicket]

It's 400 games on Xbox game pass, is it 400 games only if I buy Xbox ultimate or is it in core aswell?

[keen forge]

I think core has less games

[viscid sinew]

where can i get help for xbox game bar?

[limpid flicker]

Core has very few games. It is meant as the low-price option.

[fiery python]

Sports game licensing is super expensive, so they only pay for a short license with each game.

[safe thicket]

I own 0 games on my Xbox rn 😢

Crazy

[keen forge]

Check it on the Xbox site

I just got it like 2 days ago 🙂

[stable mason]

Asp need someone who knows

[keen forge]

I’m stacking up games so I won’t have to buy any for next year

[fiery python]

@stable mason Someone will help you in your support thread if/when they can.

[keen forge]

While I’m here… should I buy GTA V for Series S/X or Cyberpunk 2077?

[fiery python]

Look up reviews and gameplay for both and decide which appeals to your personal tastes more.

[keen forge]

Thing is I’ve played Cyberpunk already but not the DLC

[graceful nova]

Dang man you should still give it a try it’s going to be the next big game

[safe thicket]

It's still showing only 20 games bruh

[fiery python]

It's really not.

[keen forge]

💀

[mighty sequoia]

Phantom Liberty fundamentally changes the game. Highly recommend

[keen forge]

Alright thanks, I’ll get it

[fiery python]

Don't put xbox one into the search because that's not going to filter the way you want.

[mighty sequoia]

There's a Gamepass tab

[fiery python]

The vast majority of the games on Game Pass work with XB1. There's only a small selection that don't.

[mighty sequoia]

This^^^ you're just not in the right area

[fiery python]

Use this filter.

If you type in xbox one, then it's going to return games that have that in the name, like 'Goat Simulator 3: Xbox One Edition'.

[tired hare]

Rdr 2 still not having 60 fps on series s/x is insane

[safe thicket]

Can I play red dead on my Xbox one

[tired hare]

1 or 2?

[safe thicket]

2

[fiery python]

Yes

[tired hare]

You can but 30 fps

[safe thicket]

On game pass if it's available

[fiery python]

It's not on Game Pass.

[safe thicket]

Is ok, I don't see the problem with 60fps

[fiery python]

You've also been given a link to the site that tells you what you can play on Game Pass. Just look there.

[tired hare]

Its not 60 its 30 altho i may be wrong for the one x

[safe thicket]

I am using it

[fiery python]

So then you don't need to ask here is the point.

[keen forge]

💀

[fiery python]

You have the full list right in front of you.

[keen forge]

Bro got questions like an interviewer

[graceful nova]

Still a fresh breath of air for a hero shooter thought concord was going to help force overwatch to be better but we all know that trash flopped HARD hoping rival can be a good rivalry for overwatch lol

[safe thicket]

Ima ask ai

[tired hare]

[fiery python]

Marvel Rivals is good, but it's definitely not going to be the next big game.

[safe thicket]

I'm stupid for now finding it

[graceful nova]

Yea maybe not but hopefully other devs copy and don’t do trash like they did in concord

Just look at there design…. Wild lol

[tired hare]

[idle spear]

I’m finding rivals a nice distraction from Overwatch. Very similar game but rivals feels a lot more casual which is a nice change

[graceful nova]

Yes! Can’t wait for the future! They keep taking BIG wins

[safe thicket]

They're all the games in Xbox app loll

[idle spear]

Hoping they add in a soft role queue type thing or a preference system so if you want to just play one role you can.

[graceful nova]

That would be nice

I’m just hyped to have a game that actually looks like it’s going to make jt

[meager yacht]

was watching some game play and its just so fast i dont wanna go near it

If you already have Game Pass, all it's going to cost you is time.

[tired hare]

Sick animations

[graceful nova]

For IJ? Or rivals

[idle spear]

I guess depends what you are used to but most characters don’t have any sprint which slows it down a bit

[tired hare]

For WWE 2K23

[graceful nova]

Oh I play sports in life not in game but hell yea glad u like it

[tired hare]

You play WWE in real life?

Well, I'm too old for sports

I’m going to try it tonight hopefully

[lunar panther]

Xbox live chat is such a W, the support workers are so nice

[lucid sinew]

I wish Xbox checked on my mental health again

[vivid ginkgo]

Well can't install Indiana Jones on Game Pass, just says "We weren't able to load all options. Close the app, then try again" 🤷‍♂️

[meager yacht]

2 more days of work left for the year yay

probley when ill start on IJ

[lunar panther]

But hey sounds like you are aware enough that you can check on it yourself 🙂

[oblique sky]

Does Bluetooth cause fps drops? Even if I don’t use it while it’s turned on the tv?

[safe thicket]

Stealing this

[fiery python]

Considering Xbox doesn't even have bluetooth, no.

[oblique sky]

Alrighty, I turned it off to be sure
Thanks

[safe thicket]

Bought Xbox ultimate

[keen forge]

Wait since when

[safe thicket]

I feel superior just for buying it in front of my brother

[keen forge]

I know the controllers got Bluetooth

[safe thicket]

It has FAR CRY6???????

[fiery python]

They do, but the Xbox doesn't use it.

[safe thicket]

Btw, Xbox ultimate has exactly 433 games

[fiery python]

That's for connecting to PC or other devices.

[keen forge]

Ohhh

[fiery python]

It has more than that.

[safe thicket]

On Xbox one X or just Xbox one

[safe thicket]

Didn't clarify im sorry

[lucid folio]

Indiana jones got to over hyped

[gloomy steppe]

Had a buddy convince me to play some Dead Island 2 with him and we've been having some fun lol

[lucid folio]

That game takes to much space on a console
