general-chat

[young fog]

Let's just say a lot of people in the field looked at it with a raised eyebrow 😛

[forest fiber]

is a quantom chip faster than an intel 9?

14th gen

[limpid flicker]

Which field exactly? Quantum computing, or some more general physics field?

[limpid flicker]

Is this a joke question?

[young fog]

Quantum Computing (I work for a quantum research institute)

[forest fiber]

no

[young fog]

Quantum chip has absolutely nothing to do with our regular CPU's, they do completely different things

[forest fiber]

like?

[limpid flicker]

OK well, a quantum chip right now is not faster than or slower than anything. It isn't a suitable replacement.

[limpid flicker]

Cryptography, mostly.

[forest fiber]

oh

[young fog]

With quantum you can do certain tasks a lot faster (cryptography, calculating personalised medicine, certain calulcations)

[forest fiber]

but for gaming it is better for intel and amd

[young fog]

You wont be using one to play games, for example

[forest fiber]

yeah

[limpid flicker]

You can't run games on this tech, and if you ever can it will be multiple decades from now.

[vagrant mica]

Just stick with amd for now lol

[young fog]

Quantum tech is really good for certain specialized tasks, but none will have to do with gaming

[fiery python]

.058

[limpid flicker]

Running games is not the goal. Nobody did this research thinking "Imma get those sick FPS."

[cerulean basin]

It's classic major corporation "here's a vision of what the future could hold", even if it's decades away. Which might or might not happen, like... this:
https://youtu.be/cEeht3nyhec?si=wbbGPHAqpdj4KdNy

[young fog]

Come see me at the APS March Meeting in Anaheim and I'll tell you all about it 😄

[limpid flicker]

What did you mean by this?

[forest fiber]

i dont even have a pc, i have an xbox. but my best layout so far is an i7 14th gen, 5070, 32gb ram, kraken cooler, 1600 watt power supply, 2tb storage and i think thats all the specs of a pc

[limpid flicker]

1600 watts? You don't need that. Nobody needs that.

[forest fiber]

not for a 5070?

[young fog]

Nowhere near afaik

[forest fiber]

what is afaik

[young fog]

As far as I know

[forest fiber]

oh ok

[limpid flicker]

The TDP is 250 W and read that term "TDP" as "how much power it uses".

[vagrant mica]

Not even a 5090 needs that

[forest fiber]

oh mb

1000 watts?

[fiery python]

That was Coco walking on my keyboard while I was making lunch

[forest fiber]

lol

[young fog]

Thank Coco for their input in the conversation 😄

Practically an expert on quantum computing

[vagrant mica]

Go with an amd cpu

[cerulean basin]

Something something you're responsible for what other people type while using your computer 😛 /jk

[limpid flicker]

So the 5070 only draws 50 W more than the 4070 and you can reasonably build an i9 / 4070 system with a 750 / 800 W PSU and not worry about it.

[forest fiber]

whats the difference?

[cerulean basin]

At least Coco had the decency to just type some numbers 😛

[young fog]

I thought people always blamed their little brother but poor Coco catching stray bullets over here

[forest fiber]

i have mid budget

[vagrant mica]

AMD has better specs and temperature control

[fiery python]

I can't do anything for even a minute without someone causing trouble in here.

[forest fiber]

better for gaming? cores?

[fiery python]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-gif-dont-answer-the-gif-23614869

[vagrant mica]

Yes

[meager yacht]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2PCl64qnng 😮 cant wait 😄

[limpid flicker]

I would absolutely recommend a Ryzen CPU over an Intel Core right now.

Whether you want a cheap one or an expensive one, AMD are the right choice and have been for a few years now. Intel will have to make up some ground.

[vagrant mica]

7800x3d/ 9800x3d is my recommendation but there are other less expensive choices

[limpid flicker]

I am very happy with my less expensive choices. 😉

[cerulean basin]

I have lost so much touch with what's out there in terms of CPUs these days.

[meager yacht]

and cant believe we getting new fatal fury and double dragon this year

[limpid flicker]

I only caught up again once I needed to make a build. Doesn't take more than a couple evenings reading to get back on track.

Well, maybe if you need "the best of the best" it might take longer, but we all know that ain't me. I need "the best of what costs under a grand." 😛

[ivory horizon]

did u try the fatal fury beta? i didnt get to play much every person i came across had bad connection so super laggy.

[meager yacht]

yeah that happens on a lot of betas

i didnt get to play it i didnt relize there was one

[ivory horizon]

ya last week im sure its over by now.

i remember when i was like 13 i would play fatal fury 2 at my local pizza hut.

gettin that free personal pan pizza for maxing out my book-it pin

god im old lol

[limpid flicker]

Never got into fighting games in the same way a lot of folks do.

[cerulean basin]

My arcade game was always Pang 3

[limpid flicker]

WTF are those character designs.

[young fog]

The 90's 😄

[cerulean basin]

I know... look, it was the era in which 3D rendered character art was the biggest thing

[ivory horizon]

pang was fun. not very popular in the states though. i didnt even know it existed till mame became a thing.

[cerulean basin]

I mean...

Quality graphics

[limpid flicker]

Early 3d was a mistake.

[west crag]

cat burger

[cerulean basin]

In Europe it was in pretty much every arcade hall

[limpid flicker]

I've definitely seen Pang machines in the wild, just not that one.

[fiery python]

I used to enjoy Pang

You know what I wish we could get a remaster, or faithful remake of? Desert Strike.

Also Cannon Fodder.

[limpid flicker]

Cannon Fodder was pretty fun, got brutally hard in the later stages.

[fiery python]

Always remember that intro - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc2fulUF64w&ab_channel=Mo

[limpid flicker]

They were legally required to add that disclaimer about the Royal British Legion.

[fiery python]

Fond memories of playing that on SNES with the Mario Paint mouse 😄

[limpid flicker]

Because the poppy as a symbol is so heavily associated with that organisation.

[ivory horizon]

street fighter ex

[wicked stag]

I got into fighting games. Fun as hell but can be so salt inducing and taxing

With shooter games and tac shooters

It’s easy to perform badly and still be useful. I may not be top fragging but by hell I am giving good comms

With fighting games it’s different

[limpid flicker]

TBH never got into online shooters either. Not saying I only play single player story games, but maybe mostly.
BTW have you had an extended session on your laptop yet since it came back the second time?

[wicked stag]

As you all know y’all probably know two toxic individuals in the FGC

Lowtiergod and darksydephil

[fiery python]

The old youth club/roller skating place we'd go to as kids had a Street Fighter 1 arcade machine. That's going back a long way.

[limpid flicker]

DSP is infamous, the other one I don't know for sure.

[wicked stag]

Lowtiergod is known for his outrageous insults, and dsp is known for complaining

[cerulean basin]

Wait, I don't know this one

[limpid flicker]

Seriously DSP needs to shut up.

[wicked stag]

The other one is known for his jokes and his punchlines and crashouts

LTG is literally like

Imagine Riley from the boondocks when he insults people

But uncle ruckus except buff

As for that ( not entertaining him ) it’s easy to get cooked or cheesed in a fighting game and easily go hahaha you fell for it goofball!

[limpid flicker]

Oh I've absolutely been that goofball when I've tried the games.

[wicked stag]

Like realistically I love fighting games I love hitting insane things like this

As for rage. I am a victim of it and rage has gotten me really good with sf6. Broken like 3 things in ranked queue. Because my emotions got the best of me. Don’t go into a fighting game, learn a combo and just go head first into ranked. Be ok and take time with yourself. Be gentle

You can grind and practice hard as hell and still do good without playing
Ranked

[limpid flicker]

Damn Street Fighter graphics are on another level than what I remember the last time I played one.

[wicked stag]

Ranked is only good for ego and bragging rights. That and char bias exists

“Your not masters with Ken, Bison or high tier name here” your a bot dude

Everyone learns different. You can make a insanely unbalanced char and there’s still people not masters yet because they have a missing flaw

[wicked stag]

People were mad bison n heihachi came back.

Fighting game stories will basically go. FINALLY the main antagonist is dead. And it’s literally this

[limpid flicker]

I read comics. Nobody is ever dead. Except Uncle Ben.

[wicked stag]

https://tenor.com/view/moe-simpsons-barney-e-moe-gif-23054386

Literally that gif lmao

Bison has his power and doesn’t know who he is. Heihachi explanation sounds like some fast n furious goofiness

How do you bs your way out of a on screen char dying or thrown into a deadly substance

[limpid flicker]

I don't actually know A LOT about Heihachi, but I refuse to believe he'd die even if you killed him.

[wicked stag]

||Heihachi got caught by a monk when thrown in the damn volcano || tekken 8 explanation for Heihachi

[limpid flicker]

He could be stabbed through the heart with a Claymore and walk it off.

[wicked stag]

Reminder Heihachi legit bite a damn bullet

[limpid flicker]

He could be at ground zero of a nuclear war, and basically take two days off sick.

[wicked stag]

Bison we didn’t get an explanation. He just showed up naked and didn’t know who he was but had his psycho power

[limpid flicker]

Am I wrong tho? Isn't his energy basically "I'm too angry and megalomaniacal to let myself die"?

Literally "I'm living through force of will, screw you!"

Also didn't his son ||survive being thrown into a volcano||? It runs in the family.

[cerulean basin]

Damn, fighting games be getting some wacky stories

[fiery python]

@cerulean basin I saw a pretty wild theory on Severance earlier and it does seem pretty valid. If they're really going the route of ||taking over people's bodies via way of Severance with another conscience, that's messed up||.

Link to reddit: ||https://old.reddit.com/r/SeveranceAppleTVPlus/comments/1j2ogu0/just_saw_this_on_tiktok_they_might_be_on_to/||

Relates to last weeks episode.

[limpid flicker]

About that ||It was Heihachi himself who threw his son in there.||

[covert gorge]

Totally clueless which game the talk is about

[limpid flicker]

I was talking about Tekken, though the plot points I mentioned are from the older games.

I haven't played one of those in years, but back on PS1 I played a bunch of Tekken.

I wonder if modern Tekkens have much story content / single player.

[cerulean basin]

That's a pretty nice catch, and quite freaky. Had seen some related theories after I finished season 1.

[covert gorge]

I'm pretty sure they don't

[limpid flicker]

Sad to hear, but OK and thanks!

Some games do. Nether Realms put a lot in for the solo player.

[fiery python]

The episode last week was super weird.

[cerulean basin]

Just praise Kier 😛

[limpid flicker]

👀

[fiery python]

The work is mysterious and important.

[limpid flicker]

Rhinne that name doesn't mean what I expect, right?

Asking Rhinne because he knows what I will think.

[fiery python]

Do I?

Oh, the PM

[limpid flicker]

Well I thought because you're British you might. 😅

[fiery python]

Nothing to do with him. TV show stuff.

Kier Eagan

[cerulean basin]

Sorry, couldn't put the spoiler earlier :/ But yeah, Severance random GIF from season 1 that I wonder if it'll ever be explained 😛
||https://tenor.com/view/severance-baby-goat-baby-goats-not-ready-gif-1716415298692987360||

[limpid flicker]

Hard to imagine that image being a spoiler, honestly.

[fiery python]

Well, if you know there's a show about people in an office, then suddenly ||goats||, it kinda stands out.

[limpid flicker]

So um, random question. What's the deal with sometimes you go to a Microsoft website and it says "Signing you out."

You weren't trying to sign out, and on that device you usually stay signed in, but then suddenly.

[fiery python]

Probably the same reason the 'Keep me signed in' button is a lie.

[limpid flicker]

Grumble grumble.

I was more than arms reach away from my phone damn it. I actually had to stand up. This is an outrage. An outrage!

[fiery python]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-an-outrage-this-is-an-outrage-gif-24566630

[limpid flicker]

Exactly what I had in mind. 😄

[cerulean basin]

It usually happens to me whenever I open a link for a Microsoft page and it's from a different region than the one I'm in.
Eg. I google "Buy Avowed for Xbox" and the first link might be a store page... for the US Xbox Store. It sometimes signs me out first for some reason in that case.

[limpid flicker]

Ooh that's a smart explanation, and it makes sense. It usually happens when I click a link someone else sent me!

[cerulean basin]

But yeah, it's a relatively recent new behavior. Started happening earlier this year or late last year as far as I can remember

[kindred basin]

Yo is the 3 year warranty plan worth it for Xbox series x or nah

[limpid flicker]

Hard to say really. You can't know if anything will happen to it.

[cerulean basin]

Can you afford it and want to make sure you're covered? Then sure.

I have an insurance for all electronics at home for that reason

[kindred basin]

Then let’s say I don’t do anything to the console except turn it on

[limpid flicker]

I'm not in the fortune-telling business. Stuff happens sometimes.

[fiery python]

If you can afford the insurance, but not comfortably afford a replacement if the device breaks, then the cheaper option is to go with the extended warranty just in case. Or take the risk and hope nothing breaks.

[kindred basin]

And wb you, do you got it

[fiery python]

Nope

[limpid flicker]

I didn't get it either.

[fiery python]

But I can comfortably afford a replacement if it happens to break.

[cerulean basin]

Luckily we get an included 2 year warranty with all tech purchases here in Denmark, no matter what

[kindred basin]

How long did you have your guys Xbox series x’s

[hearty plinth]

did they release this month game pass addition wave 1 announcement yet?

[limpid flicker]

Ummm. Honestly not even that sure right now? 2 years? More? Near to 2.5?

[sage ice]

my 2nd series X died within the 1st year?

[limpid flicker]

Exactly as I said. Sometimes stuff happens.

[kindred basin]

And it didn’t break

[hearty plinth]

launch 2020

[kindred basin]

Did you overheat it, I heard that could break it

[sage ice]

nope

[limpid flicker]

Mine is working, though honestly not without a minor problem. Nothing I can't live with.

[fiery python]

Issues I have are more software based than hardware.

[long maple]

yeah got mine Launch 2020

[cerulean basin]

Just to be clear: the vast majority of people will never have an issue with their Xbox console not working.

[kindred basin]

I heard from people that when they get the 3 year warranty, the Xbox series x breaks a week after, is that true

[fiery python]

No

[sage ice]

no lol

[limpid flicker]

On mine, I suppose it must be accidental damage, the HDMI port no longer really grips the cable the way it was meant to.

[zenith ocean]

hello everyone, who has some small time to help me with my xbox?

[cerulean basin]

No, hardware doesn't magically decide to break based on how long you have a warranty for

[fiery python]

I'm sure it has happened to some people, but that's just pure coincidence and not a tech time bomb waiting to go off

[limpid flicker]

The idea of Microsoft being that kind of moustache-twirlingly evil is funny.

[sage ice]

The people that it doesnt happen to, don't post about it online.

[limpid flicker]

I almost compared them to a character from the Wacky Races, but glad I remembered not to.

[kindred basin]

What happened to the first

[sage ice]

#1, #3 and #4 are still in use. It was just #2 that died (wont power on)

[kindred basin]

Did you get it when it was certified refurbished

[limpid flicker]

Series X in every room, huh?

[gray latch]

my XSX still works fine

[sage ice]

I have two on my desk, one in the living room. No, I got them all new. It was the Halo version that died.

[gray latch]

heck my Xbox Ones still work fine too

[limpid flicker]

Yeah TBH even my launch model XB1 is limping along.

[kindred basin]

Is that why you didn’t get the warranty, because you have 2 extra

[limpid flicker]

The hard drive really should be ready to fail on that 12 year old console... and I'm NGL to you, sometimes it used to make a worrying sound but hey it's retired now.

[long maple]

not tried my One X in awhile but I bet it still works Wife has it upstairs incase she wants to play a disc game

[cerulean basin]

My 1998 Nintendo 64 is still working fine 😛

[sage ice]

my 2nd console was still under warranty though when it died. But because it is a special edition, I may not have received that console back. So I did not use the service.

[gray latch]

my 30 still works! used it on a road trip last weekend

it's almost 20 years old, still with the original battery

[cerulean basin]

Ooooohh loved the Zune's design!

[limpid flicker]

Ya know, I sometimes worry that some of my older portable devices will become a hazard one day. 😬

[gray latch]

maybe I should store them in a metal box 😄

[fiery python]

The old danger pillow?

[limpid flicker]

Yes, exactly. I already threw out one 3DS battery because it was getting that way. It wasn't much that way, but I do like to prevent fires.

[gray latch]

what's funny is I bought a used backup Zune like 10 years ago for when mine failed and I still haven't used it 🤣

[fiery python]

Or the billow pillow as an old friend used to call it.

[cerulean basin]

My only device that has ever been at risk of exploding has been a Surface Pro 4.
It also unfortunately decided to start swelling its battery while I was using it in a flight

[limpid flicker]

Oh no. Oh no no.

[kindred basin]

Do you have a Xbox series x galaxy black

[fiery python]

I had an issue with a particular model of MacBook Pro that I had to have replaced twice due to expanding batteries.

[sage ice]

#1 is launch, #2 is Halo, #3 is standard black, #4 is the 2TB version

[fiery python]

That was the first model, or second, that had the crappy butterfly keys.

[cerulean basin]

Luckily nothing happened other than the screen detaching itself from the rest of the tablet due to the pressure from the battery, but that was quite the scare for me and the flight attendants.

Ooohhh Apple's infamous butterfly keyboard

[kindred basin]

The 2 TB, does it have little dots on it for you

[sage ice]

yes

[kindred basin]

How long did you have that for

[limpid flicker]

I had an iPad where the screen started detaching... I wonder if it was due to battery swelling. Regardless, I managed to replace it and so no problem.

[sage ice]

a few months

[limpid flicker]

Replace the device that is, not the battery.

[cerulean basin]

Timed, you seriously worry too much about consoles well before you even have one

[kindred basin]

Do you have the warranty

[sage ice]

just the stock one

[kindred basin]

Bruh I don’t want my console to break in the first year

[cerulean basin]

Nobody wants that

[sage ice]

some break, most dont.

[limpid flicker]

There's no way to predict the future. Get the warranty if you want to be safe, or don't if you're willing to take a small risk.

[hearty plinth]

thats whats a warranty is for. all new consoles get a 2 year warranty for it

[kindred basin]

Wdym the stock one

[gray latch]

sounds like the extended warranty would give you piece of mind. if you're in the US, Costco has a good one

[limpid flicker]

Not sure that applies worldwide?

[cerulean basin]

And yet nobody spends this much time worrying about whether to get the warranty or not.
Consoles are not meant to break. There's a very small chance it could break, yes. Up to you to decide if it's worth it.
You're not going to get a precise statistic of how often they break from asking random people here.

[sage ice]

the factory warranty.

[kindred basin]

Their is no 2 year, its only 3 for me

[cerulean basin]

Some EU countries get a free 2 year warranty

[kindred basin]

Is that the one with 1 year

[sage ice]

no idea

[kindred basin]

You’re the one who bought it, wdym you don’t know

[sage ice]

I didnt care to look into it

[cerulean basin]

If he didn't buy extended warranty, that means he just has the one that is legally provided in his country

How long that warranty is changes per country

[limpid flicker]

I get that. You weren't thinking about if it broke, and you know you can get another if there's a need.

[sour flare]

Are xbox servers down?

[fiery python]

No

[kindred basin]

So then you are able to get free warranty’s

[hearty plinth]

i didnt really care enough about warranty for my series x

[cerulean basin]

Check what is the free warranty in your country, that's what you'll get if you don't buy an extended one

[kindred basin]

Can you afford another 500

[hearty plinth]

yeah. i barely even use my series x nowadays.

[long maple]

oh nice Acclaim publisher has been resurrected, In a statement, the publisher says its initial goals are “to support indie developers and reignite classic franchises”, providing funding, marketing and PC support to indie studios.

[limpid flicker]

The cold hard truth is that at some point everything you buy will need replacement. Maybe due to failure, maybe due to obsolescence.

[hearty plinth]

nobody can see into the future for ur console timed. what happened to Dopey's series x may or may not happen to ur console.

[cerulean basin]

If you can afford the extended warranty and you want the peace of mind, then get it.

If you don't mind, you can just skip it. You will still have some free warranty included with it. And the chances of it breaking are still pretty small.

It's as simple as that.

[kindred basin]

Can overheat cause breaking

[hearty plinth]

if it overheats the console automatically shuts down

[kindred basin]

How many hrs before it happens

[hearty plinth]

like we said nobody knows. each console is different. it never happen to me. but same cant be said for everyone's series x

[open flume]

theres no timer on that lol

[sage ice]

just keep it well ventilated and dont play if it is hot in your house.

[cerulean basin]

Xbox consoles are built to work, not break.
Microsoft wants players to keep buying more games and keep their subscription, not lose customers.

If the console ever gets too hot, it will shut down until it cools down.
But to be clear, that doesn't happen in normal use, even if you play for 5 days straight

[serene hazel]

to yall what is the best looking ps1 game?

[hearty plinth]

seems like timed is over stressing on hypotheticals. lol

[open flume]

spyro

[fierce orbit]

Just picked up 3 games
The Thing remastered
Wild Hearts
Dredge

So far, Dredge has been relaxing and fun, I do live in Newfoundland. So Fishing is my kinda life style

[kindred basin]

Shut up dude

[serene hazel]

@cerulean basin i finished rayman 1 although i didn't get all the collectables

[fierce orbit]

resident Evil for me

[cerulean basin]

If I remember correctly, you HAVE to get all the collectibles to do the final boss fight, but I might be misremembering

[serene hazel]

its more like i played the levels normally, finished the scorpion boss and then used the code for the level after that

[serene hazel]

yeah but rayman 1 is very difficult on its own to even just play without the collectables

[hearty plinth]

stop stressing over what ifs. if u get the console new then it will work with no issue how long if/when it breaks no one knows lol

[wicked stag]

Lmfao it does

[serene hazel]

eat at joes was one of the hardest levels i've actually played

[wispy epoch]

Final Fantasy 7

[wicked stag]

Fighting games stories are so funny

[cerulean basin]

I think you meant 9 😛

[wicked stag]

WTH do you mean guile got into a fight with someone because they asked him how he can do sonic boom

[serene hazel]

for me the best looking ps1 game is crash 3

also i discovered lego island 2 is on the ps1 👀

[tired crescent]

FFNY’s story is my favorite fighting game story

So happy with how my story mode fighter turned out

[serene hazel]

i thought lego island was pc only atleast the first one

[limpid flicker]

More like they asked him what epoxy he uses on his hair.

[wispy epoch]

I only played a little bit of 9

[cerulean basin]

Oh LOL, they used a photo of me (on the left) during a presentation about OneDrive changes at work 😂

[ivory horizon]

had to be 9

[fiery python]

Call the authorities. Those other two people are clearly imposters or aliens. No one loves OneDrive or SharePoint.

[serene hazel]

should i get spyro 1 and pacman world ps1 or spyro 1 and driver 2

[fiery python]

Get what you want.

[serene hazel]

im 100% gonna get spyro 1 because im gonna meet the voice actor of spyro this month at a convention

i have a hard time deciding on alot of stuff

[wispy epoch]

Then you should play Spyro then

[ivory horizon]

i think best looking ps1 game was oddworld mechanics were kinda cluncky but the visuals were great.

[serene hazel]

i hope they remake/remaster driver 1 and 2

[fiery python]

So does half the internet, it seems. There's a constant need for purchase validation from strangers.

[hearty plinth]

im on ac kick this month. i installed every ac game on pc-ac1 ac2, brotherhood, revelations, unity, black flag, 3 remastered, syndicate, origins, odyssey, valhalla and even those chronicles games

[wispy epoch]

I would’ve said Chrono Trigger, but that was originally on the SNES, so I picked what was only on PS1

[ivory horizon]

the added anime cutscenes were nice.

[limpid flicker]

Played any before or...?

[wispy epoch]

They were but I was kinda bother that it looked like DBZ (yes I know the animators of DBZ made those cutscenes, but still)

[hearty plinth]

played all of them on xbox rebrought themm over the last few years on pc

[limpid flicker]

Ahh I see.

[ivory horizon]

i wonder if ac mirage will come to gamepass its the only one i havnt tried yet.

[limpid flicker]

I think I bought Mirage in a recent sale.

Mhmm yep, sure did.

[hearty plinth]

i beat mirage via ubisoft plus within a week

i think mirage is on sale for 20 usd on steam rn

[cerulean basin]

It's a relatively short game

[hearty plinth]

for base

[limpid flicker]

Do you um... do you know that Chrono Trigger's character designer is the same person who created Dragon Ball?

Just trying to say, if the one reminds you of the other, it isn't by accident.

[ivory horizon]

i like short games all the big ones i never get around to finishing.

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, it's not just the animators.
Akira Toriyama did the characters and monsters designs.

[hearty plinth]

mirage is basically a throwback to og ac1

[ivory horizon]

might have to buy it then lol

[fiery python]

Kinda. I didn't think it went 'back to its roots' as much as they claimed.

[limpid flicker]

Toriyama also did the designs for Blue Dragon. So fun, and such a juvenile sense of humour in that game.

[hearty plinth]

maybe 30 hours for a full completion give or take

[sage tide]

yo guys i got an xbox series s on the way, whats some good games u can recommend?

[hearty plinth]

need to buy that whenever its on sale.

[ivory horizon]

i still have a copy of blue dragon laying around somewhere .

[limpid flicker]

The whole game isn't entirely juvenile jokes, but some of the monsters are.

[hearty plinth]

depends on what game genres u like. i liked indiana jones

[limpid flicker]

It has a good story, I don't want to trash-talk it, just that... well... I can't exactly say here, I think. 😛

[gray latch]

[hearty plinth]

they did fixed indy's achievements with the last update i think

[limpid flicker]

🐍

[ivory horizon]

now i wanna dig it out of the closet and play it lol

[limpid flicker]

I do think it's somewhat wonderful that manga gives people an outlet to still have the sense of humour of a 12 year old.

[limpid flicker]

It's BC with Xbox Series! You don't even need to! Just buy a digital copy and you can play it without excavation.

[hearty plinth]

i need to play sand land and watch the anime

i want to try out toriyama's last project not counting db daima

[ivory horizon]

ya i know im just cheap like that 😆

Abel and guile fought because Guile did sonic boom.

Abel being a clone and basically the pre alpha for seth.

Still Wakes the Deep was excellent too.

Also, that damn boss fight against Seth in the original Street Fighter IV. It was so incredibly difficult, but the stage's sound just kept me pumped up for one more try.
https://youtu.be/bHHGSSsvQoI?si=wCOGoNuDYMODKJWy

[covert gorge]

It wouldn't let me quit

I fr spent an hour trying to defeat Seth

Just remembering my countless battles against him makes me wanna punch his face real bad

i like halo but not tht much

now if were talking abt like gears of war

[limpid flicker]

Hope you don't mind me joking around. I'm happy for you that you're introducing your partner to your interests! 😄

[vivid warren]

ofc not and no i forced him because he forced me to paint

i made a god tier hand turkey

[ivory horizon]

wish i could get my wife into games. but her vestibular system is all out of wack from covid. so she cant handle flashing lights and alot of movements. makes her dizzy and sick feeling.

[gray latch]

aww :(

[limpid flicker]

That is an awful shame. 😦
I don't know if that's something that will improve or not.

[gray latch]

maybe chill games like Stardew Valley? a lot of games have it so you can turn off flashing and screen shakes in accessibility settings. I usually disable those myself

[cerulean basin]

Games having the ability to reduce or remove entirely screen shake or big flashes is a big 👍

[ivory horizon]

well its been going on for a few years now. shes just learned to adapt.

[serene hazel]

Bruh what if I buy bubsy 3d to try to 100% it

Later this month

[quartz eagle]

Do you guys remember if bandai namco make a sale on their birthday discounting their Tekken games?

[wispy epoch]

Bubsy, I haven’t heard that game in so long

[ivory horizon]

ya ive made the suggestion to try something simple because i think it would act as a therapy exersise. dr. gave her mind exersises to do but she never does them because they require standing on one foot.

[cerulean basin]

Some sites like TrueAchievements let you check the price history of a game

[wicked stag]

Got a nostalgia itch for this game cause its hard, beautiful, and its a very big roster. SF4 was a hard game to get into cause 1f links and no buffer but it was so damn good.

[serene hazel]

I kind of enjoy bad games. They can either be interesting and still be fun despite them not working properly or they could just be something you drop not long in

I actually kind of like sonic 06 because I had alot of fun with it

[cerulean basin]

It was such a tight experience. The most fun I've ever had with a fighting game that is not Smash Bros.

[quartz eagle]

think only tekken 8 went on sale during labor day but at that time I didnt have money. Now I do and just dont know how long until I could get it on sale again. Not gonna spend 70 dollars unless I was rich. especially for a base game, freaking rip off man.

[wispy epoch]

In Sonic 06, I didn’t get as far as the first actual stage to play in, I was just in awe with the bad city design of the open world

[wicked stag]

sf4 is fun, tekken tag 2 and tekken 8 are fun. SF6 is fun. Smash isnt fun competitively.

Tekken 8 is my mainline game. SF6 is my first on launch played fighting game

[cerulean basin]

Ah, see, that's the thing. I never play fighting games competitively.
It's all just fun and games for me.

[serene hazel]

Spagonia isn't that bad

It has nice music

[cerulean basin]

Good thing you have plenty of loading times to listen to it too 😄

[serene hazel]

And like I said I have fun running around in it/getting all the silver medals

[quartz eagle]

Tag 2 is pretty good

I currently been playing it

[cerulean basin]

Smash Bros. at this point is the official fighting game at my office 😛 Every day there's people playing it during lunch break or at 5pm after work

[serene hazel]

How I have everything setup right now

[cerulean basin]

Solid gaming room 😄

[serene hazel]

Thanks, it's in the living room and this is also my bedroom

[fierce orbit]

I chose the best day to come to town. Walmart is having a huge Clearance sale

[wispy epoch]

It does have nice music, I’ll give you that

[serene hazel]

Spagonias music is one of my favorite of any hubworld

[wispy epoch]

It’s fun because it’s up to 8 players, and that’s always a good time

[wicked stag]

I competed in locals and online weekly tournaments. It’s insane and fun when you do hood against a high peforrming player

[tepid torrent]

27

[quartz eagle]

27?

[tepid torrent]

[cerulean basin]

Oh, I'm sure of it 🙂 It must be thrilling.
I just couldn't ever consider me competing seriously against anyone. I only ever bring a casual mindset to gaming, with very counted single player games as the exception.

[south beacon]

A platinum trophy for a lot of action-adventure games include the following: story based, major side quests, miscellaneous side quests, combat based, level based, exploration based, collectibles, random interactions, discovering secrets

It gets repetitive after a while. Same objectives, usually different games.

[idle spear]

2 hours left on the Tony hawks countdown will be interesting to see what gets announced

[cerulean basin]

My bets are on a game about Tony Hawks

[long maple]

yeah looking forward to finally seeing what it is.

[idle spear]

I’m guessing they will put 1 and 2 on gamepass as well if it isn’t there already

[spare oxide]

Can someone help with storage? I have some questions

[merry palm]

what kind of questions?

Hello xboxers

I am a changed man after my mute

[cerulean basin]

Ugh, I need to do exercise, but I'm so freaking tired. Already skipped yesterday though so...

[patent hollow]

do yall wanna see a clock I designed?

[cerulean basin]

You designed a clock? 😮

[patent hollow]

I advise you drink more water than usual and meditate before your workout

[proper hollow]

No pain No gain

[patent hollow]

yeah I also design furniture time to time, so far I've had 2 big ideas that are particularly interesting

[cerulean basin]

I started by taking an espresso shot 😛 Here's hoping it gives me some life in the next 30 minutes

[patent hollow]

but here's the clock

[merry palm]

did you put it in oj this time?

[patent hollow]

I'm sorry espresso in orange juice?

[merry palm]

thats got your name on it, btw 👀 might crop that out

[patent hollow]

doesn't have my legal name on it

[cerulean basin]

Ooohh interesting, so the hands stay put, but it's that quarter only that rotates? So it always shows the time.

[patent hollow]

the minute hand rotates, the hour hand doesn't. for the hour part, the quarter rotates

[proper hollow]

Aubrey Greig, intresting

[cerulean basin]

Aaaahh ok I had missed that part.
Looks neat though, would love to see a 3D render 😄

[patent hollow]

oh lord o have no experience with that

someone seems a bit cranky

id reccomend putting some music on and tea

or maybe just dont act familiar with people

[gray latch]

posting people's names is a lil weird tho

[patent hollow]

it's my own name

[merry palm]

they posted it themselves in a pic above

[gray latch]

ah ok

[patent hollow]

indeed i did

[merry palm]

i let them know, in case it was accidental :)

[gray latch]

cool cool

we're supposed to get a blizzard tonight!

[patent hollow]

besides, I'm gonna change it in like 9 months anyway

[merry palm]

i have to clarify, snow not the dessert yeah?

[gray latch]

hahah yeah the snow

[cerulean basin]

What flavor of it?
The warcrafty one? The starcrafty one? Overwatchy or Diably?

[merry palm]

both are good, but different

[ivory horizon]

had a mint oreo blizzard the other day 😆

[merry palm]

i saw wendys has a thin mint frosty

mint and choc are so yummy together

[gray latch]

omg there was a weird noise outside and like a hundred ducks just took off at once

[merry palm]

nice

[ivory horizon]

ya i forgot i saw the girl scouts out in full force the other day might have to get me sum thin mints lol.

[gray latch]

oh I need to do that too

[merry palm]

i like their coconut cookie the best

[patent hollow]

I haven't had them since like 2018

too expensive nowadays

[gray latch]

goes to a good cause at least

Should i buy witcher 3 or ac origins?

witcher 3

[glad axle]

Imo witcher 3

[wicked stag]

Car on the cola!

Witcher 3

[glad axle]

Games this generation look beautiful dont they

Almost all of em feel hyper realistic

[patent hollow]

imo hyperrealistic games are meh

I want ones with character, their own little quirks

[glad axle]

I like when games look realistic like last of us

[spare sinew]

Will i understand the story if i haven't played the previous games?

[merry palm]

ok time to fall back asleep

[idle spear]

The game does a recap of previous events. You don’t need to play the previous ones although 2 is still worth playing I think. First one is pretty old now.

You think if we were left unmoderated for 2 hours cause the whole mod staff went on lunch break. Would it be chaotic or would we see people step up

[sudden rover]

I need desperate help. I have finished rdr and rdr2 and i have a void in my heart now. Ive yet to find ANYTHING that comes up to par with those games. Please,
Please reccomend me some more good games that will leave me depressed afterwards

[covert gorge]

Silent hill 2

[sudden rover]

Hmm

[wicked stag]

Do you want depression or. Damn. I’m sad

[desert sonnet]

Gone Home was the only game that made me tear up

[wicked stag]

Cyberpunk 2077.
Halo reach
GTA IV

[sudden rover]

Something that comes up to par with the last missions of red dead series

[wicked stag]

Yakuza 5, yakuza 6 and like a dragon genuinely made me tear up

[sudden rover]

Played all of those already

[desert sonnet]

Really? I didn't know Yakuza could elicit those emotions

[covert gorge]

If you want depression then silent hill 2 will be enough

[sudden rover]

Cant seem to find it on xbox

[south beacon]

im a huge fan of tony hawk

I wonder if there will be remakes of underground, or a new one

[native finch]

so um if any of yall watched space ghost.. i have some bad news for you https://x.com/IGN/status/1896955984406323395

[covert gorge]

It's not released for xbox series just PC or ps5

[wicked stag]

It does

[sudden rover]

Oop. Well then that option is out

[wicked stag]

Yakuza 5 made me tear up. Like a dragon made me tear up

[desert sonnet]

Damn. I really need to catch up to those games

[wicked stag]

Yakuza 5 was persona lengths long

I hear people say 0 is long. Granted it is

0 is long if you don’t rush through it

Meaning you do side stories the business side stories and etc

[sudden rover]

Yk i still cry about the ending of rdr2 even tho i finished it 2 years ago

[wicked stag]

Mw3 ending hit hard when thinking back now

[sudden rover]

The og one or the new trash

[desert sonnet]

Yep. I plan on playing all the sidestories but skipping the mini games unless they're required. Last time I played, I spent 2 hours on the claw games

[wicked stag]

OG one lmao

Reboot and mw2 campaigns were actually lit

MW3 reboot wasn’t

[sudden rover]

Loved that game. I always remember yelling at my friends because they were peeking in my screen

My childhood game was. Lego marvel super heroes

[wicked stag]

Mw2 reboot gave us ghost

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-cod-call-of-duty-call-of-du-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-ii-simon-ghost-riley-gif-27104686

[vivid warren]

original ghost will always have my heart

[wicked stag]

I think the betrayal didn’t hit as hard because mw2 it was just genuinely unexpected

[vivid warren]

https://tenor.com/view/riley-ghost-gif-26186764

[wicked stag]

Mw2 was like. ||Hey guys. Sorry I’m taking your base now||

The betrayal was unexpected cause nobody expected it

[covert gorge]

Lol

[vivid warren]

he was my crush 4 awhile

[wicked stag]

In the reboot it was kinda expected cause

Shadow company are merge

[vivid warren]

it was a reboot

[wicked stag]

Mercs.

[vivid warren]

so it was gonna happen at sometime

[wicked stag]

So we can be buddy buddy with them but once someone else says your done here that’s when things turn south

[vivid warren]

i hated the new mw2 tho

[wicked stag]

Plus ghost is terrifying man

[vivid warren]

the only one ive liked is mw 2019

[wicked stag]

Hearing the shadows say. “Dude what the hell are you gonna do when this 6ft giant in a ghost mask appears huh???

[sudden rover]

Is the witcher 3 a type of game where u need to get quite far for it to get interesting or is it a “if u dont like it from the start, u wont like it at all?”

[vivid warren]

imo play it 4 awhile before u decide

but im a huge witcher fan i read all the books etc

[sudden rover]

I got it a long time ago and got a good 8 hours in it, did not enjoy it. Do i keep going?

[vivid warren]

honestly i have no clue im bad at recs yk😅

[sudden rover]

Okayy

Im thinking of buying dmc5

[winter zealot]

Honestly, same

It's been in my library for 2 or 3 years

[winter zealot]

Good pick

[sudden rover]

Tell me rn. Does ir have a sad ending. Yes or no?

[winter zealot]

It doesn't

It's more of an action game

[sudden rover]

Hmm

[winter zealot]

Did you play the previous entries?

[sudden rover]

Nope

Do i need them to understand this one?

[winter zealot]

Yes

Although they're pretty old but really good games

I recommend you to skip 2

[sudden rover]

I really want dmc5 tho

Are we for real now xbx?

[winter zealot]

You can start with dmc5 and backtrack

It should be fine

[sudden rover]

Okay!

Buying it

[winter zealot]

Goodluck with the game

Have fun

[sudden rover]

Is it hard?

[winter zealot]

It's easy at the beginning but there will be difficulties where it gets extremely hard

Optional difficulties

But if you're an achievement hunter then yeah

[sudden rover]

Will they ever get dark souls 2 full zombified broken sword boss fight hard?

[winter zealot]

You have to learn the game from in and out

[winter zealot]

It's not like dark souls but requires mechanical skill

[sudden rover]

Okay got it!

[winter zealot]

Just enjoy the game it's fun

You will learn the game moving forward

[sudden rover]

Downloading!

[winter zealot]

You got the special edition right?

[sudden rover]

Got base game + virgil

Cuz i love virgil

[winter zealot]

Should've got the special edition if you're on series consoles

It does include vergil

[sudden rover]

Im just in xbox one s

[winter zealot]

I see, it's fine

Vergil is fun

[waxen wing]

https://tenor.com/view/diddy-gif-8961692530157879891

[jagged mist]

Is on Xbox x?

[waxen wing]

https://tenor.com/view/soap-gif-26542434

[sudden rover]

yeah. I’ve played the game once at my friends. Was my first time playing and im pretty sure i was fighting virgil as dante. Is that a hard boss fight?

[winter zealot]

I think the game is available on all consoles

[jagged mist]

Alr

[winter zealot]

It is, on higher difficulties

The game is more of like styling on enemies in your own way

[sudden rover]

I joke u not it was the highest difficulty and i beat virgil in like 40 mins time

My friend told me the controls

And i just went with it. I mostly died when virgil started flying

[winter zealot]

That's impressive

[sudden rover]

Thanks!

[winter zealot]

To think you had to face the final boss without knowing anything and beating him under an hour is just something else

You will do better this time. As you will learn all the combos and mechanics it should be more fun

Does anyone here have the MK11 game to help me with a question?

[glad axle]

Sure ask away

[idle spear]

Doesn’t look like it

[broken owl]

It wouldn't really be a question, I just needed help linking an MK Mobile code to MK11, my console broke and the account to which I already had a code linked was lost

[cerulean basin]

Wouldn't surprise me if between now and July 11th they add the remasters of 1 and 2 to GP

[glad axle]

I believe you can link it to a new account without problems

[broken owl]

I'm pretty sure so, the problem is that I no longer have my console to be able to link it, so I wanted to know if someone who has no interest in MK Mobile could link it to me

[crimson flare]

I tried the community support

[glad axle]

You could just reinstall the game and itd be gone

Atleast thats what i remember

[fiery python]

Really looking forward to that.

Shame Lucy is working 12 hours on Saturday and we'll have a busy Sunday, so not sure when we'll get chance to play.

[cerulean basin]

Cross-play is what saves that game for me. Never got to finish It Takes Two since my friends were on different platforms.

[wispy epoch]

I love Crossplay, I think nowadays all games need to have Crossplay, brings everyone together

[broken owl]

The problem is that MK Mobile has a terrible account linking system, although it is possible to link the account to a WB Account, this account simply disappears when you change cell phones.That's exactly what happened to me, and now I no longer have the account and I don't have a console or gamepass to do this linking on my own, I need someone who has either a console or gamepass

[sage ice]

You need to link your own account. No one will link their account to yours.

[cerulean basin]

Cross-play is almost the standard now, luckily. Next is cross-progression becoming the norm. We'll get there.

[tacit robin]

if you just need to link an account you can do that on a web browser. But you normally can not link it to a other account if its linked already

[wispy epoch]

Oh yeah Cross Progression is definitely needed too

[glad axle]

I wont help with that

[gray latch]

dried cranberries and almonds go so well together

[broken owl]

This has nothing to do with the account itself, just a link that can be made more than once by the same person, there is no connection between my mobile account and the user's Xbox account.

[broken owl]

np bro

[gray latch]

nobody here is going to sign in with your account

rule 12, I think?

[serene hazel]

i dont have a series s/x yet but should i get gotham knights on sale tomorrow

or maybe assassin's creed syndicate gold

[hearty plinth]

I didnt like gotham knights

[serene hazel]

oh hey the slowmode thing is now shorter

[glad axle]

Id say do it its good to have stuff on stand by
But if i had to choose id go syndicate as you can play that

[gray latch]

ac syndicate was good

[serene hazel]

[idle spear]

In deluxe edition yeah hopefully there is an upgrade for gamepass version

[meager yacht]

whos making it ?

[hearty plinth]

did 1 and 2 release on game pass?

[serene hazel]

so i know what im gonna get then

ubi+ and sonic frontiers

[tacit robin]

doom guy in Tony Hawk that a crazy combo.

[serene hazel]

and my sister said she will get dominos tomorrow because of them now having stuffed crust

idk why it took dominos so long to have that

[idle spear]

Wonder if we get Darth Maul back in pro skater 3

[glad axle]

Banger

[serene hazel]

question

[meager yacht]

maybe they swapped it for this ?

[idle spear]

Iron Galaxy

[serene hazel]

i use my old account on xbox to buy stuff and a second account to play, if i buy ubi+ with the old account will i beable to use it on the other one?

[hearty plinth]

the devs who ported last of us part 1 on pc?

[idle spear]

Yeah

[serene hazel]

the other account has a better name and im trying to make it a 100%-90% account on true achievements

[glad axle]

Just make sure the acc with ubi+ has your xbox as home xbox and it works

[serene hazel]

ok

so its like gamepass but not really?

[glad axle]

Its gamepass but no online play and ubisoft only

[serene hazel]

they should add rayman 3 to it

[meager yacht]

i dont think THPS is on game pass that is a bit weird

[glad axle]

It doesnt have xbox 360 or xbox games

[idle spear]

Likely will be added between now and then for 1 and 2

[meager yacht]

i already own it on 3 consoles though lol

i dont think i played much of THPS 4

[hearty plinth]

they probably wont put any old ubi game that cant run on xb1/ps3 or newer hardware

[meager yacht]

i own them all on ps1 i jus dont think i played it much

so this game is gonna be newish to me so icant wait 😄

[idle spear]

I’ve completed all of them one way or another

[hearty plinth]

im gonna get avatar later this month

[glad axle]

It isnt bad but wasnt my taste

But def worth getting

[hearty plinth]

getting ultimate edition for a bit over 40 usd plus tax on steam

[glad axle]

Nice

[serene hazel]

idk what i want to play first

watchdogs legion or assassins creed syndicate gold

[hearty plinth]

Flip a coin?

[serene hazel]

i know legion has that one super difficult achievement where you cant die

[hearty plinth]

Do syndicate first love the dlc

Jack the ripper

[tacit robin]

there very differnt games I would go with watchdogs legion

[cerulean basin]

I never played its DLC

[serene hazel]

one thing i dislike about legion is that the other 2 watchdogs games have very easy achievement lists and then legion adds one where it makes you play on the hardest difficulty and you cant die or else you'll lose your character permanently

[glad axle]

Am i the only one who hates it when publishers release ps4 and ps5 games seperate

Making you buy it twice

[hearty plinth]

Dont xbox do it for some games as well?

[serene hazel]

i still need the dlc for gta 4

[glad axle]

Idk but i dont think as much as ps

[fiery python]

Not Xbox themselves.

Third-party publishers do occasionally.

[glad axle]

I find it so stupid when they do that

[south beacon]

there's probably a small number of games where that actually happens. Majority of them have upgrades (either free or require 10 dollars to do so)

DMC 5 is one of those games where the PS5 and XSX releases are separate from the original releases in 2019

I know Control (and a number of games did this) had a weird upgrade path at the time, where you needed the base game, and both dlc to actually upgrade. now the game's ue is super cheap, and sells as is on digital storefronts

Horizon Forbidden West is memorable on it being weird on how that was handled and later fixed, still used

originally, the game did not have an upgrade path unless you bought the digital deluxe version of the game. most of sony's games that were on ps4 and ps5 day and date had free upgrades (to date I think only Miles Morales and Sackboy)

they had to backpeddle, and expanded it to where any version of the game got a free upgrade (yet the ps5 version sold 10 dollars more, so people worked around it by buying a ps4 version of the game and riding out the upgrade for free)

[meager yacht]

😮

didnt know that

[south beacon]

I do get why most of Sony's titles had a 10 dollar upgrade for their games.

[meager yacht]

still buying it ifi t gets a psyical

[sage tide]

yo guys i got a series S on the way what games do u recommend? should i get gamepass? im basically completely new to xbox so i got no idea what im doing

[hearty plinth]

Yes for game pass

Just try out a bunch of games on game pass and see what u like or dont like

[sage tide]

i remember seeing like different tiers on gamepass which ones more worth it?

[hearty plinth]

Core is for online only with select 40 to 50 games. Standard is for console online play minus any first party games. Ultimate gives u access to cloud gaming game pass on pc and console ea play and first party games

Depends what u need.

[sage tide]

since im new to it would standard be ideal for me

[hearty plinth]

If u dont want cloud gaming yeah

[sage tide]

acc wait i should prob check like a list of the games thats on there

[hearty plinth]

Outside of fortnite

[hearty plinth]

https://www.trueachievements.com/game-pass-standard/games

[sage tide]

oo ty

[hearty plinth]

There is also a list of wave 1 games coming this month that was released today

[sage tide]

oh nice

will the waves be like monthly?

[hearty plinth]

Bimonthly

[long maple]

1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month is when you usually get GP announcements

nice to see Pro Skater 3+4 gonna be a day one for July. dont think I played those ones

[hearty plinth]

If u like games like lies of p better focus on that cause its leaving on the 15th

[hearty plinth]

Is 1 and 2 on game pass i dont remember

[serene hazel]

is octodad worth it?

[long maple]

cant remember either cause I own that one

octodad never played it

[serene hazel]

also saints row 2 >< gta eflc?

[sage tide]

oh yh btw since i got the 512gb series S, on average how many games will it hold?

[serene hazel]

which is better

[fiery python]

Depends on the games, because some are small and some are massive.

There's no real average.

[valid pendant]

permadeath 💔

[dark sparrow]

Depends on the platform

[valid pendant]

massive?

[sage tide]

how big would a game like forza horizon be

[valid pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/know-what-else-is-massive-massive-meme-low-taper-fade-gaming-marvin-gif-5434763778147397120

[fiery python]

100+GB

[sage tide]

ohgod

[serene hazel]

xbox 360

[sage tide]

wait how much gb does series S actually have that u can use

[dark sparrow]

Whichever one you want to get more

[sage tide]

cus it says 512 but dont consoles usually reserve some for main stuff

[open flume]

365? iirc?

[sage tide]

😭

[serene hazel]

i started gta 4 and need the dlc for 100% completion

[sage ice]

That is office

[serene hazel]

so i guess eflc

[sage tide]

no way forza is gna be taking up nearly a 3rd of that

[glad axle]

Probably yeah

[hearty plinth]

Use a portable hdd for xb1 or 360 games

[fiery python]

You sure about that?

[twin fractal]

Do you guys consider the RT a console seller? Like going from a Series S to a Series X or PS5 Pro

[fiery python]

The install size may be a little smaller on Series S compared to the X, but it's still a big game.

[sage tide]

oh hell nah, if i get forza ima only be able to get like another 2-3 games on there lol

[fiery python]

Nah, it's a very underwhelming feature on console and was added a generation too early, at least. It's barely used.

[hearty plinth]

Not really. More of regular quality and perf over rt. Rt kills perf

[sage tide]

i doubt i'd end up doing it but, if i were to expand the storage on a series s would i need an ssd or hdd? (i dont think im gna be getting a lot of 360 games)

[twin fractal]

Which forza?

[fiery python]

FH5

[earnest sage]

How's things folks?

[twin fractal]

Ah yeah, that one is 140 on Seires S. FM is 100gb

[hearty plinth]

Use a portable hdd/ssd to move optimized games back and forth between portable and internal unless u getting expansion card.

[twin fractal]

Maybe bc FH5 may be using high texture resolution on Series S, meanwhile, FM not

[sage tide]

wait whats the difference between that and an expansion card

[twin fractal]

Like Indiana Jones! You can get a lot of free space by deleting the HD Textures, going from 130 to 80

[terse grove]

What’s the channel where I can ask for some games to play

[twin fractal]

OHHH, THIS IS MY MOMENT prepares

[hearty plinth]

Expansion card can play optimized games on it. Portable drives u cant play optimized games on it just store them

[sage tide]

so if im mainly gna be playing new gen games would the card be the main option

[terse grove]

I got €16 left in my balance since I just bought: metro series, Subnautica and red dead redemption 2. I need to spend it before it expires next week

[fiery python]

Check the store, look at the deals, sort by price

[hearty plinth]

Portable drives will work fine if u cant afford qn expansion card.

[twin fractal]

R u searching for some ceazy action racing game? Tyred of those boring simulation and life like arcade style?
Try Split Second! It can only be described as Michael Bay The Game. Set on a TV show, u can wreck ur rivals by changing the routes and throwing buildings. Throwing a plane, a bridge, a train, a bulldozer!
Split Second is an Xbox 360 game, available on the XStore! Is backwards compatible! Give it a chance :D.

[hearty plinth]

Try getting game pass?

[terse grove]

Genre doesn’t matter I’ll try almost everything, as long as it ain’t too hard. Maybe slime ranch? Also can you tell me some gamepass games

[terse grove]

Already have 3 months

[twin fractal]

What xbox do u have

[terse grove]

Series s

[hearty plinth]

Avowed indiana jones

[twin fractal]

hMM. Well, Immortals Of Aveum is a fascinating title (but the Series S version looks awful), i still liked it though.
And since you want tog et something for not stress, Slime Rancher 1 or 2 does seems like a nice option! I love those titles

[hearty plinth]

Could try lies of p if thats ur style of game but it leaves game pass in a few weeks

[covert locust]

Do you have ultimate?

[hearty plinth]

I do

[covert locust]

Try battlefield 1

[twin fractal]

And Immortals Of Aveun

[terse grove]

Slime rancher is €17,99 i might. I still have a ton downloaded I still need to try

[terse grove]

Yeah

[hearty plinth]

Immortals i didnt like much

[twin fractal]

Gotta say, is the only title that make me wish for a Series X

[hearty plinth]

Good ip but it didnt sit well with me

[long maple]

yeah I am still waiting on achievements for slime rancher 2, which according to them will be when its closer to full release whenever that is.

[hearty plinth]

Played immortals like 2 hours at most than gave up

[twin fractal]

It did with me! Loved everything, despiste looking like a switch port on Series S, i still think it looked gorgeous in his own way.
The use of nanite gives the map a big appearance and draw distance! Niagara gives such an spectacle of particles! I loved it

Sadly the game selled poor (and it had a budget of 125Millkon). So... We won't see a sequel, and even less a PS5 PRO, PS6, or Xbox "" "prime" "" update

So, i guess PC Players win here

[hearty plinth]

Didnt the dev team lost q good majority of their team

[terse grove]

Speaking of next gen, what year will it happen?

[hearty plinth]

No idea but best guess 2027 at the earliest

[twin fractal]

2027-2028

[terse grove]

Phew. Our house ain’t ready for buying a new PS6 and Xbox yet

[twin fractal]

I can't even get a Series X

[twin fractal]

Yes.

[hearty plinth]

Im probably skip nezt gen consoles

[terse grove]

Me neither after around 1.5 years I got my series s on 22 February (my birthday). My momma bought her ps5 after a year of trying

[hearty plinth]

Im lucky enough 2 gotten launch day series x

[twin fractal]

I gotta say! I'm excited to see how certain games will run.
Like all the Resident Evil games with RT On. Wil they hit flawless 60fps?
What abt Devil May Cry 5 SE in RT Quality Mode? Willit hit flawless 60fps?
What abt Elden Ring? Will it hit 60fps on Quality + RT On?
Or Ghistwire Tokyo, will it hit 60fps on HFR Quality + RT?

Those seems like a nice benchmark to me

[twin fractal]

I envy u, won't lie HAHAHA

[hearty plinth]

Im talking of the ones coming out in 2 plus years. Series consoles are current gen

[twin fractal]

Yeah! I'm talking abt those too! The 10th gen Xbox and PS

[hearty plinth]

Im getting those games on pc. I dont even use my disc drive once. My series x is only being used for my 15 min to hour of cod and ms rewards rn

[twin fractal]

I use my Series S almost daily hshs, i don't play on PC. Mostly pc is for work

[hearty plinth]

Work laptop is work. Pc is for games and using mods in said games

[twin fractal]

Yeah, laptop, for me is the samw honestly xd

[dark yoke]

[reef pecan]

Man, my external storage is failing to work just, suddenly

[fluid creek]

things fail suddenly sometimes

😦

[reef pecan]

What can I do about this, cause it's taken most my games with it and it's not connecting back to the xbox

[fiery python]

Buy a new one.

[reef pecan]

So there's nothing I can do to get this one working again? Cause I can hear it doing things but it's not properly connecting

[fiery python]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ All you've said is 'failing to work', so I don't have any useful info to work with there.

But if a drive starts failing, it's generally not worth trying to save it. You're better off getting a new one and transferring data before it fully dies.

[tired hare]

any body wana play fort

[reef pecan]

Basically, I was downloading a game, then suddenly all the installation stopped. I checked and saw that my external storage wasn't connected to the xbox. So I unplugged it and re-plugged it.
When I re-plugged it, the light didn't turn back on but I can hear it doing things, and it's still not connected to the xbox again

[signal ruin]

If you're looking for someone to play with, please go to #1094715375884697600

[hearty plinth]

Try another usb port

[wispy epoch]

I have to save up, but I’ll be ready when they do come out, still on the fence about the Switch 2

[reef pecan]

Wdym, another USB port, all I have are the 2 at the back of the xbox, both don't work

[fiery python]

You didn't mention that you'd tried it in another one already. That's what they meant by another.

[hearty plinth]

I think there is storage recovery services but they cost money not sure if they work for console games

[fluid creek]

lmao there's no way that's worth it

[fiery python]

Unlikely considering the data is encrypted.

[fluid creek]

when storage is fairly inexpensive

[fiery python]

Not worth it when you can just redownload the games. It's not like precious family photos you can't get back.

[reef pecan]

I plugged it into both the USB ports at the back of the xbox, nothing

[night dagger]

hiiii

[fiery python]

Buy a new drive

[hearty plinth]

Sounds like the drive probably is dead

[reef pecan]

Man, that's annoying
It dies right in the middle of downloading new game aswell

[fluid creek]

it happens.

[hearty plinth]

I have a portable that lasted over 6 years

[fiery python]

Storage drive failure never happens at a convenient time.

[reef pecan]

Do the games keep data if I download them on internal storage? Like, my dark souls remastered save file

[fiery python]

Yes

[reef pecan]

That's fine then, Call of Duty is going until I can buy another storage then lol

[tacit robin]

its pancake day today whos having pancakes

[fiery python]

Couldn't be bothered making any.

[hearty plinth]

Havent had any for months

[reef pecan]

It's strange though, the storage is making sounds as if it works, is that just it doing things but not actually working

[fiery python]

Broken drives can still make noise.

Same as a broken car.

[reef pecan]

Ah ok, tyvm for telling me all this, I'm clueless on everything, I was just given the xbox and everything and I played it

[fiery python]

Hard drives can even make more noise when faulty than when working at times.

[reef pecan]

Fair enough

[hearty plinth]

That happened to me last october. Internal hdd pc only lasted less than 2 years

[reef pecan]

This has actually just made me realise how much space call of duty takes up, I didn't realise how much space I actually needed, it's just CoD made it seem like I had so little

[swift lodge]

any good games on sale rn? i wanna get the crew motorfest but reviews suxk ngl, just want suggestions

[hearty plinth]

U could manage cod u dont need all the dlcs

[reef pecan]

I only had the 2022 ones and the Hub installed

[hearty plinth]

Horizon 5?

[swift lodge]

played it

[reef pecan]

That was still half my storage lol

[swift lodge]

it was decent

4s better ngl

[hearty plinth]

It has each game campaign, mp and warzone

[swift lodge]

delete what u don’t play

it takes up so much space

[reef pecan]

Ik, I uninstalled all those and just kept DMZ, MWII Co-op and MP

The cod hub is what took up so much lol, it wad annoying

Was*

[tacit robin]

Alan wake 2 is on sale atm

[swift lodge]

is it any good

[hearty plinth]

Its like a bit over 100 with base warzone and bo6 mp installed

[swift lodge]

it looks like a resident evil type of game

idk y

[tacit robin]

Yeah its pretty descent

[swift lodge]

anything else?

[reef pecan]

That's still like a 3rd of my internal storage basically lol

[small mantle]

I am waiting for the remaster one to go on sale lol

[swift lodge]

get a external 😭

[reef pecan]

Mine literally died about half an hour ago, which is why I joined to ask if I could do anything about it lol

[tacit robin]

the remaster as been on sale before

[hearty plinth]

Still havent played alan wake remastered yet or brought alan wake 2 yet

[swift lodge]

what kinda xbox u have lol

and what kinda external

[scenic verge]

It’s against rules to promote outside groups?

[hearty plinth]

Yes

[fiery python]

Yes

[swift lodge]

idk go look

[reef pecan]

Whatever the white, newer gen one is and a 2 TB Seagate one

[signal ruin]

Why is it getting by in the looking for group?

[swift lodge]

xbox series s? damn i wouldve js said get one of the chip ones for the X but idk if they work on the s

[fiery python]

If you see something there, then report it to modmail

[scenic verge]

How do I do that?

[small mantle]

Yeah I had missed it, but I’ll probably just get it. As I’m looking to play that before I play the 2nd one.

Although I did beat the 360 version already

[reef pecan]

Meh, it's fine, most the games I play are single player, lower gig games anyway, just got rid of cod to give me space

[tacit robin]

its kind of funny how your asking about sales and what games are good. But then when some asks a other question you tell them to go and look

[fiery python]

DM the @next zinc user

[swift lodge]

ohh then ya i wouldn’t get a X, i only have it bc it runs better, i need a external tho ngl

who normalized 70$ games bro😭 why can’t they bc 60$ 🥀

[reef pecan]

That's fair
I didn't need an external and I kinda took it for granted as I still had 1.3 gigs overall storage before it died lol

It's just convenient for switching games round

[swift lodge]

ya i need more storage, all the games i have are like 50+ and take up so much space

[reef pecan]

That's very fair

[swift lodge]

i have my old xbox 1 hard drive but it only downloads xbox 1 games

[reef pecan]

The highest gig game I have is about 40 gig now I deleted cod

I lied, it's 72 gig in elden ring
