general-chat

[cursive glacier]

but I don't know if i should sell it and save money for the series x

[cerulean basin]

Also, note that creating new accounts to circumvent a suspension can also lead to that new account getting suspended:

[spiral shore]

yup

[cursive glacier]

I'm using my old account from 2022

[cerulean basin]

"old" from 2022 😛

[cursive glacier]

but I'm never quitting matches ever again

[wispy epoch]

Yeah, Saudi isn’t the way I would go out

[daring robin]

Hi

[slender spade]

this is why I love physical media along with many other reasons, it's not about getting banned, just knowing you won't suddenly lose access unless it's some live service. but the game does still have to be fully playable on disc with a good enough release state.

[slender spade]

@serene hazel sonic has come to get you.

[daring robin]

How and why

[slender spade]

you're sonic, inspector gadget is Dr eggman!

[serene hazel]

Ohohoho

[slender spade]

that made me laugh.

[daring robin]

Hehe boi

[daring robin]

Sup

[serene hazel]

Hey

Playing Lego Starwars 2

[daring robin]

Nice I'm playing team sonic racing

[slender spade]

have fun you two.

[spiral shore]

MSFS 24 on ps5 this morning for me

[daring robin]

Thanks

[slender spade]

what's that?

[cerulean basin]

Microsoft Flight Simulator I guess?

[spiral shore]

yup

lol

[slender spade]

oh thanks, beautiful game.

my mind was being silly and tried to fill the letters like. "madden Street fighter seven 24" what a game!

[spiral shore]

lolol

[serene hazel]

@spiral shore everyone knows the ewoks built the deathstar

[twilit shard]

Hello

[spiral shore]

OMG lol

https://tenor.com/view/adios-ewok-star-wars-gif-1922206540920023061

[serene hazel]

Holiday special

[spiral shore]

lol

https://tenor.com/view/ogvhs-juggle-juggler-jugglers-wookie-gif-18199548

[cerulean basin]

I never watched that one 😛

[spiral shore]

ha

not missing a lot lol

[cerulean basin]

Didn't even know it was a thing until very, VERY recently

[spiral shore]

its so bad the only good thing about it is the boba Fett cartoon

[slender spade]

y'all looking forward to the new maul show?

[spiral shore]

yes

looks so good

[slender spade]

yeah I love the clone wars animation of style it's so peak.

[bitter marten]

can you play DMC5 on the Rog Xbox?

[cerulean basin]

I'm so behind on Star Wars media. I've only watched the 9 mainline movies, and Rogue One.

[slender spade]

yes

[spiral shore]

that an Rebels also

[bitter marten]

which is the best film

[bitter marten]

how do ya do it

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, you can. You have to buy it through Steam or other PC storefronts though

[bitter marten]

damn

[cerulean basin]

It's not an Xbox Play Anywhere game, so you don't get both PC and console versions in one purchase

[slender spade]

alot of people love rogue

[bitter marten]

i wish xbox would make it so u can use cloud gaming on ANY game you own instead of just game pass

[cerulean basin]

They are working on that. Every week they add more games to stream from the games you own

[spiral shore]

I love all the star wars animatied stuff

[slender spade]

as anchel said yeah.

[cerulean basin]

There's already many games on Xbox Cloud that are not on Game Pass

[bitter marten]

oki

[spiral shore]

https://tenor.com/view/kanan-jarrus-star-wars-rebels-hera-syndulla-gif-18759413

[bitter marten]

i also hate that im broke and cant afford pc game pass

since i wanna play Doom on rog xbox without buying it on steam

since i own Doom

[cerulean basin]

Depends on which version of Doom, it may be Xbox Play Anywhere. Look it up in the store

[bitter marten]

Doom Eternal and Doom the dark Ages

[cerulean basin]

The Dark Ages is Xbox Play Anywhere for sure

[bitter marten]

ok

[slender spade]

dark ages is so good.

[spiral shore]

fun game

[bitter marten]

also is there a way to play Portal 1 on xbox

[slender spade]

headphones are a must.

[bitter marten]

like the OG Portal 1

from 2007

same with Half-Life 2

[slender spade]

it should be on the Microsoft store

[bitter marten]

since that was an OG xbox game that wasnt ported to Series X

Portal was also in the Delisted Orange Box

[cerulean basin]

It was on Xbox 360, not on OG Xbox

[bitter marten]

Half-Life was og xbox

dmed u the screenshot

[cerulean basin]

You were asking about Portal, which is what I was talking about

[bitter marten]

oh

Portal never got a port

other than Orange Box

which is delisted

[cerulean basin]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/portal-still-alive/br30gbnh63f9

[spiral shore]

I have it lol

[bitter marten]

thats a modified port

with extra chambers

[cerulean basin]

It's a port

[bitter marten]

i meant OG not Still alive

still alive was made after

[cerulean basin]

It includes the entirity of the original Portal game

[bitter marten]

true but its a modified port

[spiral shore]

somewhere i have og xbox halflife and have it on steam

[cerulean basin]

That's like saying Death Stranding never got ported to Xbox, because it's the Director's Cut

[bitter marten]

it has extra chambers

well

[slender spade]

why do you want the original so bad? /gen.

[cerulean basin]

If you choose them, sure

[bitter marten]

thats also like saying Half-Life 2 never appeared on xbox 360 when it wass in the Orange Box

[spiral shore]

as I just posted a pic lol

[cerulean basin]

It's basically an improved version of Portal with additional levels that you can choose from the main menu

[bitter marten]

yh

[cerulean basin]

But it is still considered a port

[bitter marten]

i own og Portal on steam

kk

i wish u could play Steam games on the Series X itself

[slender spade]

who knows maybe one day.

[bitter marten]

since u can use xbox controllers on most steam games

[slender spade]

not on the series X but future consoles.

[bitter marten]

and even if it doesnt have it natively u can use steam input

they should port it to series x

[spiral shore]

most of us know this lol

[bitter marten]

it would prob just be like porting Portal 2 from pc to series x

since Portal 2 can be played on series x thru 360

[cerulean basin]

Port what? Steam? You cannot just "port" a store. You would need to make an OS for Series X that can run Windows games, and even then there's no guarantees games would work at all if there's no proper support for that hardware.

[spiral shore]

you can play the Orange Box on series x its backward compat

[bitter marten]

i dont have the disc

oops

didnt know that

im broke as hell

[spiral shore]

a lot of us are also broke so no need to tell us

[bitter marten]

they ported Spotify?

[cerulean basin]

That's not a port. That's just a separate app.

[spiral shore]

there is a Spotify app on xbox lol its not a port lol

[bitter marten]

they made a full layout for spotify on xbox so maybe they should do the same for steam

[cerulean basin]

Plus, porting a game is a vastly different thing from porting a game

[bitter marten]

lol

[spiral shore]

no they cant a app is different

[slender spade]

360 games are pretty cheap nowadays. even if you're broke they're in under a couple of bucks.

[cerulean basin]

Again, Steam is a store. What you need is a port of every single game in Steam for it to work

[vagrant mica]

you know, if you want to play steam games you could get a steam deck, pc or that steam machine

[slender spade]

^

[surreal hamlet]

Spiderman: Web of Shadows

[bitter marten]

i own the rog xbox but it doesnt have the best performance on Metal Gear Rising even tho it runs 120 fps on Black Mesa max graphics

[spiral shore]

they built the Spotify app from the ground up its not even the same as the phone or the windows app

[bitter marten]

lol

[surreal hamlet]

Seriously I miss that game and haven't found a copy anywhere

[cerulean basin]

Even if you somehow were to port Steam to Xbox consoles and downloaded a game from it, it wouldn't work at all

[bitter marten]

they could code a work around

[slender spade]

oh yea any Spiderman game and retro horror game will definitely be higher in price lol I regret selling my copy of Deadpool but at the same time I'm not because I finished the game and goes to someone who will play it.

[cerulean basin]

You're making something extremely complicated sound way easier than it is

[bitter marten]

make it so steam stores the files for the game within the app and lets you launch the game through steam

[spiral shore]

not that easy lol

[bitter marten]

its prob complicated but im explaining possible ways they could do it

[surreal hamlet]

I mean if that was the case it would be like Proton for Linux, and that has taken an extremely long time to get good, and you'd have to start all over for xbox

[spiral shore]

that would take along time to do

[cerulean basin]

It does not work like that. A Series X is a console that was not built to run PC games.

[limber carbon]

Uugh, stuck in this rally map

[bitter marten]

alright maybe the next xbox in 2028 can have steam

ill buy it either bloody way

[spiral shore]

sorry but pc games need to stay on pc or pc hand helds

[vagrant mica]

Maybe if the next xbox is a pc

[cerulean basin]

Besides, Microsoft would rather you buy games from their store: they get a 30% from each game sale

[surreal hamlet]

I mean if the next Xbox was kinda like the Rog Ally but not a handheld it could work, but I dunno if that's the route they'd go

Like same OS, but again dunno how that would work out

[bitter marten]

so you never want to see Black Mesa on xbox?

[spiral shore]

nope happy to see it where it is was never ment to be on console

[surreal hamlet]

And at that point you're just selling a pre built pc

[cerulean basin]

I'd rather all games worked on all platforms, but I know that's simply not possible

[vagrant mica]

I feel it’s likely that the next consoles won’t come out for a while due to the current shortages and price increases

[bitter marten]

thats what im tryna say

i understand its very complicated but i agree with anchel

[spiral shore]

new games yes make them on all platforms but old ones thats another story

[cerulean basin]

We see many games run into performance issues on the current consoles, and you're asking for it to run games not even made for it 😛

[bitter marten]

they ported Portal to the 360? r u saying that shouldnt have happened

[slender spade]

if people just used steam not many people realistically would use the Microsoft store, it would support the Xbox play anywhere theme but Microsoft would lose out big money and only profit on hardware and first party games which isn't something they'd do.

[cerulean basin]

Portal is from the Xbox 360 era

[bitter marten]

yh Black Mesa released in 2020

[spiral shore]

that was planed to be on 360 from the start

[vagrant mica]

CS also used to be on Xbox lol

[cerulean basin]

Ask the devs to make an Xbox port

[bitter marten]

they said they r thinking about it

[cerulean basin]

Then there you go

[bitter marten]

since Black Mesa is officially endorsed right now

it was included in the Half-Life bundle during one of the winter sales

[serene hazel]

Half life 2 and the original counter strike released on the original xbox

[surreal hamlet]

I think for the black Mesa team they would still need Valves approval as it is by all means, a version of Half Life 1

Based on Valve IP

[bitter marten]

yh they could prob get permission since Black Mesa was included in the Half-Life bundle in the winter sale

so they r prob on good terms

[spiral shore]

Black Mesa is a fan made game so yeah I dont want to see it on xbox lol

[surreal hamlet]

Honestly that sounds more possible than most fangames getting anything

[spiral shore]

well fan made remake

[cerulean basin]

Well Valve didn't shut it down, that's all they needed to do if they were worried about it

[bitter marten]

thats jsut you tho i bet alot of people wanna be able to play a version of Half-Life 1 on an xbox console

[surreal hamlet]

I'm disappointed One Night at Flumptys never came to Xbox, and Omori was taken off and (unconfirmed and rumoured to be blacklisted don't take this as fact) but there were reasons for that

[bitter marten]

pred dev

[cerulean basin]

Nothing wrong with fan-made games. There's plenty of fantastic ones.

The best version of Rayman 1 on PC right now is a fan-made version

[serene hazel]

Got true jedi

[slender spade]

unredemption.

[bitter marten]

yh

[surreal hamlet]

Flumptys was such a fun series and it was ruined by that

[slender spade]

i never heard of that game or know of the Dev but if that's true Im glad I never did.

[spiral shore]

yeah true I am not dissing on fan made stuff at all

[surreal hamlet]

It's a parody of Fnaf and instead of Freddy you have a Plot Immune, Time Transcending egg after you and the only reason you can survive is because he just chose to play by Fnaf rules

I'm trying to think what the best fan game of all time is

Does sonic mania count if sonic team didn't make it?

[bitter marten]

in my opinion its Black mesa but u prob got other picks

[surreal hamlet]

That was made by Christian Whitehead and several other fangames makers

[slender spade]

i was never big on fnaf, I love the memes, the characters and movies but that's mostly it.

[cerulean basin]

Sonic Mania happened at a time in which the developer had already got agreements with Sega to make his improved ports of past Sonic games to iOS

And I'm pretty certain Sega got much more involved with Mania

[surreal hamlet]

I'm so sad they never ported 3 to mobile, but sonic 3 A.I.R made it ok

[bitter marten]

dark just rlly seems to hate ports of pc games

[spiral shore]

I do not just some should stay on pc stop with that

[surreal hamlet]

I thought Mania was just done by a fangames team and when they wanted to make a sequel that's when sega stepped in and we ended up with superstars?

[cerulean basin]

I wish there was a console port of Starcraft. Or at least controller support.

[spiral shore]

some dont work well on console

[slender spade]

tomb raider is getting the best ports overall.

[olive palm]

Who is Playing Dbd?

[surreal hamlet]

Be the change you want to see, make your own controller support with steam input 🤣

[bitter marten]

Half-Life 1 and 2 should get a series x port since Half-Life 1 was on ps2 and Half-Life 2 was on og xbox

[slender spade]

phone, consoles and more.

[spiral shore]

there was Starcraft 64

[bitter marten]

do u agree on that?

[spiral shore]

nope

[bitter marten]

i bet most would

[cerulean basin]

Uuhhh nope. Superstars was a compleeeeetely differet team.
Christian Whitehead was doing illegal ports of Sonic games to other platforms, with enhancements. Instead of shutting him down, Sega decided to work with him to make his ports official. After that, they agreed on terms to finish and release Sonic Mania.

[surreal hamlet]

AHH gotcha

Have you ever seen sonic 3 A.I.R?

[wary lodge]

Yeah I was not wanting Gunther to win

[slender spade]

=the best ending

[cerulean basin]

In this case the game needs far better integrated controller support 😛

[spiral shore]

But yeah STarcraft 64 was fun they was thinking about xbox at one point but that droppd off back in the day

[wary lodge]

I mean he just does a move that just yells "I'm a coward and I'd rather do this cowardly move"

[bitter marten]

if you think Half-Life 1 and 2 shouldnt be ported because they were on pc then explain how they were already ported to ps2 and og xbox respectively so why cant they remake those ports and put em on series x

[wary lodge]

I got a new hoodie that has soft plush lining for winter and the cold

[surreal hamlet]

Times were different

[wary lodge]

It is great

[cerulean basin]

Because making ports takes time and money to make, and their teams might already be busy with other more important things.

[slender spade]

simple as this

[bitter marten]

they should be ported though

[cerulean basin]

Sure, but there's hundreds of games that could be ported as well

[idle spear]

Don’t think Valve cares about consoles anymore.

[cerulean basin]

You can't just decide "I'm gonna port it all" and drop everything in one go

[bitter marten]

whats ur main picks of games that should be proted

[surreal hamlet]

FIFA 14 (I think) was ported to PS2,3 and 4, it's purely up to Devs whether or not they deem it worth it

[bitter marten]

probably but still even if Half-Life 1 and 2 dont get ported they should put Half-Life 3 on xbox and playstation

[surreal hamlet]

And with half life 2 having built in mod support now on pc and the steam machine releasing (in 3000 years) it's probably not the best idea to start shifting your fan base around to other places

[spiral shore]

half life 3 lolol

[bitter marten]

i have hope

[cerulean basin]

Not a game I play, but I'm surprised World of Warcraft hasn't been ported to consoles yet.

[spiral shore]

we been asking for that since 2 was done lolol never will be ..would be nice but yea lol

[bitter marten]

prob cuz devs dont care

[spiral shore]

every year some say we wil have half life 3 this year lol

[slender spade]

might be the same reason star wars the old Republic has not been ported, the controls are just not it with controller

[surreal hamlet]

Wizard101 on console had me cracking up though, so unexpected

[bitter marten]

cuz valve actually wants to release something thats good instead of the crap modern companies throw out yearly

[wispy epoch]

I agree

[ripe grotto]

Sup

[cerulean basin]

It probably wouldn't even be the same devs that work on the actual game anyways

[ripe grotto]

Didn’t get any sleep tonight sadly

[spiral shore]

Half life 3 is not happening even they said its not planed or so I read

[bitter marten]

maybe cuz theres enough games that are similar on consoles

[ripe grotto]

Looks like I gotta pull an all nighter and all dayer

[bitter marten]

when was the source published

[spiral shore]

im not getting into this cause I really dont care lol if 3 happends cool if not no big deal

[slender spade]

same

[bitter marten]

Half-Life 3 code was added to Dota 2

so

yh

[slender spade]

let's talk about other games🙏

[cerulean basin]

We're not talking about just any game though. We're talking about one of the most played MMORPGs in the world.

[spiral shore]

WoW lol

FF14

[bitter marten]

we got enough of em

[cerulean basin]

Well, by that logic, we already got enough first person shooter games on consoles, so why do you want Half-Life there?

[bitter marten]

MMORPG's are just boring for me

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, but what games YOU specifically like was not the point of the discussion

We're talking about why publishers don't port all games

[bitter marten]

imo we dont need WoW on xbox

we need Half-Life tho

[spiral shore]

blizzard does not port all games

[bitter marten]

cuz Half-Life is legendary

[cerulean basin]

So is WoW

So this is just a matter of personal preferences

[spiral shore]

I love WOW but also dont want it on xbox but as of now that is not a thing

[vagrant mica]

I don’t see wow being ported because it’s just one of those games massively better on mnk

[bitter marten]

i agree with Dark on this 1 situation

[cerulean basin]

I was surprised by how well FF14 works on consoles

And it's my preferred way to play it

[spiral shore]

I been on WOW since 2006 ..ff14 works so well

Even on pc I use a controler for FF14 lol

[cerulean basin]

I have never played WoW simply because it's on PC and I prefer playing on console

[spiral shore]

I know one day WoW will be on console its bound to happen

[cerulean basin]

Probably

[bitter marten]

i like PC and Xbox equally but i do wish Half-Life was on modern consoles

[spiral shore]

somany MMOs on console now

[bitter marten]

since im broke and cant afford an OG xbox

and my xbox 360 slim is somewhere i dont bloody know

[spiral shore]

I am so ready for division 10 year stuff so Excited

[vagrant mica]

I don’t see many mobas coming to console

[spiral shore]

https://tenor.com/view/the-division-shodow-logo-eagle-skull-gif-16723040

[upbeat matrix]

I started gaming when I was 6 or 7

[cerulean basin]

Still very curious to see where the next-gen consoles go. Clearly just going for a more powerful console doesn't cut it anymore, with the diminishing returns we've been getting on visuals improvements.

[bitter marten]

u did that on BLOODY PURPOSE

[upbeat matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-laugh-ai-baby-babyfryingme-baby-sob-folk-gif-18221933230434867320

[slender spade]

could you imagine League of legends on consoles.

[bitter marten]

get the hell out

[slender spade]

thousands of suspensions.

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, really looking forward to see how many people will return to the game just because of it 😄

[upbeat matrix]

If you want your gf to break up with you play league/j

[bitter marten]

dont think anyone here has one lol

[upbeat matrix]

Lmao

[spiral shore]

for sure A few of been here since the start or close to it

[upbeat matrix]

A lot of married people with kids here

[bitter marten]

welp none here i can see

[wary lodge]

But I was happy that Roman Reigns beat him, I was like "YEAH SCREW GUNTHER, HE'S A COWARD!"

[cerulean basin]

Well, that's what they were working on with a version of League of Legends: Wild Rift for consoles. But last I hear it was put on hold a year ago or so.

[granite verge]

^ hi :)

[spiral shore]

um i got a wife and she a gamer also lol

[bitter marten]

nvm

[slender spade]

I'm also married

[bitter marten]

surprising

[vagrant mica]

It’s a shame that Ubisoft cancelled so many games

[wary lodge]

I am the single one here lol

[bitter marten]

cuz i aint ever got a gf

and honestly couldnt give a crap

[spiral shore]

My lady is a bigger division 2 fan than me lol and thats scary

[wary lodge]

Tbh same here

[vagrant mica]

Seems like the focus is on live service and AC again

but not really surprising

[slender spade]

I LOVE WILD RIFT

[cerulean basin]

No kids here, but I'm definitely at an age in which I could have had more than a few 😅

[wary lodge]

I am more shy and nervous as hell lol

[bitter marten]

30s?

[cerulean basin]

37

[bitter marten]

kk bloody hell

[slender spade]

wild rift is so fun than pc league. unfortunately still toxic.

[wary lodge]

I'm 20 but I kid y'all not

[cerulean basin]

I've definitely had more fun with Wild Rift on mobile than with LOL on PC 😛

[wary lodge]

When I was a kid, girls liked me, I don't know how

[bitter marten]

surprising

[wary lodge]

Like in Elementary School I had girls waving and saying goodbye to me when I went home

[cerulean basin]

Assassin's Creed never stopped being a focus 😛

[wary lodge]

I don't know how but it went to High School too

[spiral shore]

My ps5 character lol

[bitter marten]

wut game is that

[vagrant mica]

Of course, I mean that I don’t really see much focus on anything other than it

[slender spade]

who do you main? preferred lane?

[cerulean basin]

Haha the Splinter Shell hoodie 😛

[spiral shore]

Division 2

[bitter marten]

kk

[spiral shore]

I have them all lol

[bitter marten]

is that on xbox

[wary lodge]

Because I remember this girl liked me back in High School and she asked one of the students what my name is and she said hi to me alot

[iron crane]

Is there any hope for the next gen of Xbox ?

[spiral shore]

this one is ps5 but I also play on series x

[cerulean basin]

I now go with these Assassin clothes, but still keeping the Avatar cap and mask 😄

[fiery python]

They already confirmed it's happening.

[cerulean basin]

Multiple times confirmed even

[bitter marten]

im 16 and i legit have a girl who speaks to me very strangely

[upbeat matrix]

You sound like you play cod

[spiral shore]

I love my consoles good times

[bitter marten]

i do

[fiery python]

Plenty of hope if people stop being so incessantly negative and listening to the wrong people.

[bitter marten]

lmao

[upbeat matrix]

Me too

[wary lodge]

For me, my mom noticed girls like me

Even one had a crush on me

[iron crane]

Ye ye I got that but I mean how well will it stand, I mean the series X had to get it's price bumped up to 600 a while ago, and with the ram shortage I really don't think it could be less than 1000 dollars

[cerulean basin]

What? How are people going to live without all the constant click-bait titles and social media disinformation? /s

[bitter marten]

lit i was at school and talking to a teacher and a girl walked up to me and asked me smth then when i was joking with the teacher she was laughing

[wary lodge]

I was like "how am I getting girls liking me even though I have a speech Impediment and I don't look that good"

[bitter marten]

thats like someone i know

[fiery python]

We'll have to wait and see.

[bitter marten]

i gtg

cya

[wary lodge]

I am very shy and nervous to date honestly

Alright

[slender spade]

the grifter said this and to spend 100 bucks on their fitness program so I will do that.😉

[vagrant mica]

I wonder if the steam machine has been delayed due to the shortages

[cerulean basin]

Well it sure ain't gonna get cheaper

[vagrant mica]

Haven’t heard anything on it in a while

[finite depot]

I wish there was someone to help me to give gane suggestions

[slender spade]

you have ONE game to pick from each Xbox era. which games you gonna pick?

[finite depot]

I am unable to find perfect choice game from gamepass ultimate

For xbox i am new in xbox so i want to fully take advantage of it

Good graphics games

Open world non horror

[iron crane]

I'm guessing either Xbox has a long term plan where they avoided this shortage entirely or they're just planning ahead and the console will release into 2027 where the shortage will be less

[slender spade]

aloy my beloved one moment I will check if it's on gamepass

[finite depot]

Not its not my mate

[cerulean basin]

Star Wars Outlaws is on Game Pass Ultimate and it's open world.
I recommend giving it at least a try.

[spiral shore]

fun game

[finite depot]

Heard pretty bad game

Graphically got issues and also not recommended

[spiral shore]

its better now they fixed a lot of it

[slender spade]

oh yeah the wording had me puzzled

[spiral shore]

what you heard was wrong

[slender spade]

my keyboard is bonk now

[spiral shore]

outlaws is a fun good looking game

played it on xbox and ps5 looked good to me

[slender spade]

see you guys later, take care have a good day

[vagrant mica]

Jedi survivor is semi open world

It’s pretty good

[cerulean basin]

As usual, social media doing what it does best: convincing people that many games are terrible when they are not.

[finite depot]

I played it on pc tge outlaws was really horrible graphically

Tho my laptop isnt that strong like old gpu

[cerulean basin]

Not gonna say it's the best game in the world or anything like that, but it definitely did not deserve the hate it got

[finite depot]

Matbe thats why

[finite depot]

The thing is people play in xbox games like arc raiders star wars halo minecraft

But i dont find them amusing as i am not into it

[cerulean basin]

Well yeah, the graphics will obviously not look good if you have an outdated GPU. The game can be quite demanding since it requires ray-tracing for its global illumination.

[finite depot]

It was rtx 4050 laptop gpu

[spiral shore]

I play a lot of 1st person solo games so most are good and look good

[finite depot]

Thats why maybe old now

[cerulean basin]

I also really enjoyed Avowed and what I've played so far of The Outer Worlds 2, if you like RPGs

[finite depot]

Yes if you would suggest me good ones i played a lot good games

[spiral shore]

I shy away from arc raider and stuff lol

[finite depot]

Like horizon rdr gta v uncharted

Last if us series tho i was scared

[spiral shore]

Anchel just dropped some good ones

[vagrant mica]

Some far cry games are on game pass I think

[spiral shore]

outer worlds 2 was a blast

[patent crag]

DM IF U CAN DO ME A FAVOR (ITS EASY)

[spiral shore]

farcry is fun

[finite depot]

So overall non horror any game you guys wanna suggest

Like the best out of all you guys suggested os far

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, for open world you have both the Far Cry games and Assassin's Creed games, many of them on Game Pass Ultimate now

[spiral shore]

farcry 4 and 5 good stuff any assassin creed ones

[finite depot]

I have played dead stranding which is lonely game

I dont like this much lonely game as well

I think you guys are leaning towards star wars outlaws right?

[spiral shore]

final fantasy rebirth but not on game pass

[vagrant mica]

My favourite games on game pass aren’t really open world, but I like jedi fallen order and survivor, nine sols, another crabs treasure, doom games

[finite depot]

Yeah just give me final verdict guys

Different opinions making me confused

[vagrant mica]

There is no final verdict because people have their own opinions

[finite depot]

What you suggest me to try just tell it

Thats it

[spiral shore]

all good game here that was talked about

[vagrant mica]

Best open world game I’ve played is elden ring but not on gamepass

[finite depot]

Hmm ac series, outer worlds

[finite depot]

Too tough for me

I think i will go for outlaws but i need hdr settings

[cerulean basin]

Just check out the games we've mentioned, watch a trailer, and see which one gets most your attention

[finite depot]

Yes avowed seems great

Like beautiful game

But not sure is it horror or dark or lonely game?

[cerulean basin]

It's pretty fun. It's not fully open world, since instead of one big giant map, you get 4 different smaller maps.
It's not horror or lonely. You have companion NPCs with you at all times.

[spiral shore]

sorry was killing in the divison 2 lolol

[cerulean basin]

It's exploration and combat, with a lot of player choices that affect the story

[vagrant mica]

I tried it but didn’t really like it

[finite depot]

I think to be honest with you guys star wars outlaws goes more with my type

Overall situation far cry ac series those goes well with me as well

But not sure is star wars good in xbox or ps5

It had brightness issue

Hdr

[spiral shore]

Outlaws starts out slow but once you leave the first planet it gets good

[cerulean basin]

On Series X, Outlaws plays pretty well. If you have a TV with 120 Hz support, you can also play it in 40 FPS mode for a good mix of resolution and framerate

[spiral shore]

good on both ps5 or xbox

[spiral shore]

same on ps5

[cerulean basin]

Shouldn't have any brightness issues

[spiral shore]

good stuff

[finite depot]

Alright will install outlaws later on if you guys can help me with hdr i an pretty confused

I would really appreciate it it you guys help me later

[spiral shore]

40 fps is my jam

[cerulean basin]

If your TV supports HDR, all good. There's an HDR calibration setting on Xbox that you might want to check if games don't look good.

If your TV does not support HDR... well, then you shouldn't be able to use it in the first place. But also if you're playing on a cheaper TV or a PC monitor, many have terrible HDR capabilities.

[finite depot]

I already did it from a youtube channel so far dead island 2, fortnite i played looks stunning as well forza

[cerulean basin]

And in those cases it's better to turn off HDR if your monitor does not support it properly

[finite depot]

Nope my monitor is oretty good hdr

I know about it i am just asking i might need you guys to help me in game slider of star wars outlaws

[cerulean basin]

That's not much we can help with. It usually just asks you to set it to a spot where you can see only barely a dark image in the background.

[finite depot]

Yeah i would just ask you suggestion thats it would appreciate if you can at least guide me thats all

[spiral shore]

lol forgot I had borderlands 4

[finite depot]

Dead island 2 has really good hdr

[vocal gorge]

I just wish HDR content and specs were more uniform than they are. Seems too loose and some display brands can market their own stuff that may not be as good as the VESA specs and so on

[finite depot]

Hitman i am trying hdr is pretty damn bad

[cerulean basin]

This really sounds like your monitor has issues or you haven't calibrated properly

Neither Hitman nor SW Outlaws should have any issues with it

[spiral shore]

WoW the 1st watchdogs is on sale complete edition $6 usd

[vocal gorge]

some games can implement HDR differently like it doesn't seem one setting fixes all so it can vary game by game, unless console can keep that stuff together? I would have thought games still had their own separate HDR settings even after using the HDR Calibration thingy on Xbox

[cerulean basin]

There's general HDR settings, but some people might want to change things differently per game

[vocal gorge]

there is a few other things to watch out for with HDR gaming that I bet not many would be aware of that sent me down a rabbit hole while messing with my brother's Series X a while back

[finite depot]

Hitman i dont know maybe i am too hopeful i am trying to compare them with the best hdr games on the market

Which is bad idea totally most games arent properly calibrated for hdr

[cerulean basin]

Most current games are

[finite depot]

Wouldnt want to compare hitman with like how should i say cyberpunk hdr

[finite depot]

I wish i could show you xbox pic hdr pic and would get a feedback

Is there any channel where i can put up a hdr image

[cerulean basin]

HDR is not some powerful setting or anything like that.
It simply means the console and TV have a wider range of colors and brightness to display.

[cerulean basin]

Not sure Discord supports HDR images.

[finite depot]

Should or like can i friend you and sent you there

[cerulean basin]

You can send me one if you want, but not sure I'll be able to help much with that if the issue is on how your monitor renders the picture

[finite depot]

No i wanted you feedback thats it

[finite depot]

Sent

[cerulean basin]

Oh I thought you were gonna DM me on Discord

[finite depot]

Nope it doesnt show hdr

So better i dm you there if thats okay?

[vocal gorge]

HDR requires 10 bpc or higher it may affect chroma subsampling. Ideally you want it to display 4:4:4 but using say 4K 120Hz + HDR is likely to starve the display of bandwidth meaning it could drop to 4:2:2 or even 4:2:0 (the latter being an option you can enable in Xbox settings iirc)
on top of that Dolby Vision for Gaming I don't think can use Freesync - there may even be a chance HDR10 can't use Freesync Premium Pro as I noticed on my brother's LG C1 when enabling HDR with Freesync it didn't report as Freesync Premium Pro when it should have, unless it isn't supported too but Freesync Premium showed up just fine when using 4K 120Hz and Freesync enabled.
I like to dig into settings a bit and it may lead me to rabbit holes like this haha

[cerulean basin]

I actually checked. When you send an Xbox image in HDR (.jxr file type), it doesn't show it directly in the chat, but you can still download and open it

[finite depot]

I use hdr10 anyway

[finite depot]

Alright dm you then

[finite depot]

I cant actually unfortunately file size is big

Discord free gives u 10 mb only

[sturdy hollow]

Yo can somebody help me I'm getting jumped in jjs

[true elbow]

no

[cerulean basin]

Nothing like that has been announced

[weary solar]

We don't allow discussion of leaks on this server because the data included in a "leak" 1) May not be accurate 2) May be old / out of date 3) May be incomplete and not the full story. Companies should get to tell their story their way, whether it's Xbox, Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft, Rockstar, or any other company.

[true elbow]

was question

[fiery python]

Questions have a ? at the end.

And as Anchel said. no such thing has been announced.

[true elbow]

i saw a video of it I thought

[finite depot]

Mate so can i friend you and instead sent in xbox app if its okay?

After that you can unfried me whatever you wish no issues?

Sorry about that cause like discord has size limit

[true elbow]

is god of war tv series out soon

[cerulean basin]

Sure

[cerulean basin]

I think they just announced some of the cast? So there's still a while to go before they release the first episode

[finite depot]

Done sent thanks

[true elbow]

what do everyone think of ai in games

[cerulean basin]

If used right and ethically, I don't mind, as long as it's not overused

[finite depot]

Ok done mate 2 ss sent

[true elbow]

if it is used to replace artists

[cerulean basin]

Nothing here on my end yet, so maybe your console is still sending them?

[cerulean basin]

Depends on what it is being used for.
Artists could use AI to generate moodboards to help them work together with direction and other teams the same way they look for reference images elsewhere, but then that concept artist can do proper manually-created concepts that are used for the final content in the game.

That helps the concept artists focus more of their time on the concepts that matter

[true elbow]

it is expensive for us too

[vocal gorge]

I think AI can be helpful when used in upscaling and frame generation as it allows for higher quality versions of said technologies and a minimal loss in visual quality while increasing performance quite a bit

[true elbow]

because ram is more expensive

and gpus and ssds

[cerulean basin]

At this point the use of AI in all major games is inevitable, one way or another

[finite depot]

Nope in your chat

[vocal gorge]

I'll be interested to see how the whole neural rendering stuff works. Think that is an upcoming technology. Only know about it through some Nvidia stuff 😄

[cerulean basin]

Heck, I've been training an AI model at work to help the teams. Now you can ask our own internal chatbot questions like "Who is the person in charge of the weapons balancing?" or "How do I make sure my level does not go over the performance budgets for this game?"

[finite depot]

It is sent i think so

[cerulean basin]

Still nothing, the last message I have on Xbox is from last year

And it's not in "Chat requests" either

Ah now I did

[finite depot]

Thanks just let me know are these ok

[cerulean basin]

Yeaaaah, those look very washed out. It's what you'd normally get if you're trying to play an HDR game on a non-HDR monitor

But funnily enough the UI looks alright

[finite depot]

Its hdr monitor

[cerulean basin]

So I'm still thinking there's some calibration issues on your end

[finite depot]

Its msi mpg272urx

I did the calibration using a youtube video

I have sent you another one from another game

Now take a look please you can tell the difference

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, the one in Hitman looks washed out in comparison. I would check that game's settings. It definitely shouldn't look like that.

[finite depot]

Does all three pictures look weird?

From hitman

[cerulean basin]

They lack contrast. So the areas look a bit too grey.

[vocal gorge]

ooh, QD-OLED nice choice!

[finite depot]

Was in sale obviously if you compare hdr of samsung s95b then my monitor is a kid

[finite depot]

Alright then i will have a look on hitman thanks so much man you see like getting feedback from someone helps

But in any scenario this calibration thing is tough to do exactly in consoles

I wish i could study about it a little but and become expert on it lol

[cerulean basin]

Unfortunately I haven't played Hitman yet, so I haven't tried to play around with its settings to have any idea of what could be going on there

[finite depot]

Yeah i will prolly ask you about star wars outlaws

[vocal gorge]

they should be fairly comparible tbh and the MSI display having newer panel tech should favour it if anything but monitor HDR vs TV HDR really can get a bit messy 😅

[finite depot]

I need this game to be perfect

[finite depot]

Hmm you said you use lg c1

Its expensive and heard its really nice

Like nits are higher right?

Cause whenever i go to youtube people always show hdr for lgc1

Not any other monitor

[cerulean basin]

I have the LG C2. It can get plenty of bright, but it's not ideal for rooms with a lot of external light from outside.

[finite depot]

Same qd oled you need it total dark room

Thats why amoled are the best

[cerulean basin]

QD OLED precisely is made for bright rooms

[vocal gorge]

not much higher I think but the white LED LG uses with their WOLED displays may help increase brightness a little. LG is now on C5, maybe even C6 now

[true elbow]

no its meant for dark rooms

[finite depot]

Its for dark mate

[cerulean basin]

My LG C2 can reach up to 800 nits.
Samsung's TVs with QD OLED can reach up to 1400 nits.

[finite depot]

I am really sure

[finite depot]

Hmm you see huge difference than mine

Mine can only 1000 nits in 1000 mode

True black 400 is 458

People use true black more than 1000 nits one

[cerulean basin]

It's literally the biggest selling point of QD OLED: it handles great in bright rooms much better than what competitors were using in OLED screens at the time.

[vocal gorge]

true black 400 mode may be duller but more consistent and accurate iirc than the HDR1000 mode

[serene furnace]

Good morning, Xbox Fans.

[finite depot]

Nah just asked

Its said it looks wshed out in bright room

So yeah dark to moderate lit room in any scenario i pull all my curtains than play without having any external light

[finite depot]

Hi mate, you alright?

[serene furnace]

Yep. Just woke up, but im aight.

[short mantle]

Whoa, I didn't know James Cameron was working on a new Terminator. He directed 2, which is the best one in the series.

https://screenrant.com/terminator-7-movie-script-update-james-cameron/

[cerulean basin]

Ugh, I feel like I've done absolutely nothing this morning, I kept getting distracted with everything instead of just sitting back and chilling with a game XD

[fiery python]

Yeah, he said he wanted to get one done before it was too late.

Pretty excited about this.

[short mantle]

That's awesome

[surreal hamlet]

Y'all I think I'm being threatened by a bird rn

[summer magnet]

Doesn't sound familiar at all 👀

[cerulean basin]

Time for me to admit that I've never seen a single Terminator movie 🫥

[vocal gorge]

that sounds a comfy morning tbh lol

[summer magnet]

I've seen the first 2? I think

[cerulean basin]

Does the Universal Studios Terminator 4D thingy count? 😄

[short mantle]

The first two are the best. I highly recommend the director's cut for 2.

[surreal hamlet]

I've seen the first one

[fiery python]

Terminator is my favourite franchise of movies. I know some of the sequels haven't been the best, but I personally really enjoyed the last one. I know it changed some things but I thought it was an interesting take.

[serene furnace]

It’s ok, you’re not alone in that boat. I’ve never seen them either.

[cerulean basin]

I feel less alone in the world now

[finite depot]

Oh okay mate, yeah really unproductive day and weather is gloomy i needed to study

[finite depot]

Loads of project to deal with

[summer magnet]

Most productive thing i've done today is the weights that I do lol

[cerulean basin]

That's pretty productive I would say

[serene furnace]

lol.

[finite depot]

Still something, i have just prepared my food thats it

[vocal gorge]

anyone else find that time flies by when talking on Discord? Think I've been on here already an hour and it doesn't feel like that lol 😅

[finite depot]

Yeah true

Discord is my fav now than insta lol

[cerulean basin]

Nah, that never happe... woah woah woah it's 2 PM here and I haven't had lunch yet!!

[serene furnace]

You guys wanna know a game that I’ve been watching on YouTube that I want them to bring back from the dead.

[surreal hamlet]

Qwop

[summer magnet]

I admit I've been slacking on doing weights recently but started to get back into them now. I started doing them as I started losing weight last year.

[serene furnace]

Minecraft: Story Mode.

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, that's one I was surprised it never came back

[surreal hamlet]

I need to start doing something to lose weight, I'm am being lazy

[serene furnace]

I used to have that on my 17” windows 10 laptop and I would play it at my Aunts house when I was a kid.

[finite depot]

Okay to be honest this is such-a hyped game in xbox but never tried it

Or even dont know how to play it

[serene furnace]

You should look up game play on it on YT.

[vocal gorge]

I'll need to think about getting lunch soon too. 1PM for me

[fiery python]

It was delisted a long time ago

[finite depot]

Same 2 minutes left to be 1pm

[surreal hamlet]

I remember MC Story Mode was on netflix for a while

[finite depot]

By any chance are u from any eu region

[serene furnace]

It’s 2 mins till 5 AM for me.

[vocal gorge]

UK

now that it is February I wonder what games release this month I may be interested in getting, if any

[cerulean basin]

We'll hear soon next week I suppose

[finite depot]

At least you guys use disc edition

Can get cheap games for me just only digital

[cerulean basin]

I only buy games digitally since 2011

[finite depot]

Even used games

[finite depot]

Woh

[cerulean basin]

Just way more convenient for me

[finite depot]

Hmm used disc i am scared to buy

[serene furnace]

I prefer to use digital. I have a digital Xbox series X and I enjoy it.

[cerulean basin]

Xbox Play Anywhere is one heck of a great incentive to go digital, too

[finite depot]

Is it like handheld

Like rog ally x

[cerulean basin]

I could play them on the Xbox Ally, yeah (I have the older, ROG Ally X model)

But if I ever go back into PC gaming, I can play those games I own, but with higher settings even

[finite depot]

Do you believe having switch 2, or ally x or like having vr is good to have

Which one is good to have just a idea

[serene furnace]

Game Pass Ultimate as well is such a freaking steal with the benefits it has.

[serene hazel]

Playing sonic labyrinth

[cerulean basin]

If you want to play games on the go or while you're not near a TV, then yeah, of course

[serene hazel]

The slowest sonic game

[vocal gorge]

I play on PC and buy games digital only. Have done for what must be the past 10 years now?

[cerulean basin]

I have both the ROG Ally X and a Switch 2.
I also have an oooooold VR headset, but I haven't touched it more than twice in my life.

[serene furnace]

I pay for game pass ultimate and I’ve never paid for another gaming subscription again. I literally can play games on my phone while I’m at work with no issues then I can come home and use GeForce now to play games on my Mac and I could play in the living room and don’t have to put my freaking console out there because I have a Fire TV cube third generation in the living room.

[finite depot]

Super expensive to have 3 if them

[cerulean basin]

Well I haven't bought them all at the same time

[serene hazel]

It would be cool if sega delisted sonic origins and replaced it with sonic mega collection plus or brought back the actual genesis collection

[finite depot]

But if you were to pick any 3 which would that be?

[serene hazel]

Well delisting isn't cool, but bringing back the genesis collection is

[finite depot]

Oh sorry i thought you play in xbox do you play it in lg c1 with pc

[cerulean basin]

I'm not a VR person, so that's out of the question for me (also I didn't buy it myself, was a gift).
If you like Nintendo games like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and so on, then obviously the Switch 2 is the way to go.
If you like other third party games better, then the Xbox Ally X would be the better choice. Or any other PC handheld if you want one with a bigger screen.

[finite depot]

Like can u use lg c1 as pc monitor as well

[cerulean basin]

You can use any TV as a PC monitor

[vocal gorge]

my brother uses the LG C1 for his Series X and I've got a monitor (LG 32GS95UE) that I use for my PC

[finite depot]

Hmm zelda i have always wanted to try wish they had other platform to play with

Just because of zelda having a handheld like switch 2 is waste

[serene furnace]

I’m getting a new KTC monitor from Amazon when I get my paycheck

[cerulean basin]

The Switch Lite is a much cheaper device that will play those games just fine as well

[finite depot]

Dont think it supports 4k

[cerulean basin]

Nope

[finite depot]

Screen is ips not oled

[cerulean basin]

Sure, but neither is the Switch 2 and it looks absolutely fantastic

But it is true that the screens of the original Switch were pretty mediocre compared to today's standards

[serene hazel]

Robotnik is really big brained for the plot of sonic labyrinth

He sneaks up on sonic while sonic is sleeping and he doesn't kidnap him or try to attack him, but he steals sonics shoes and replaced them with slow down shoes.

That's a real 300 IQ move

[vocal gorge]

a small party trick my monitor can do. With the press of a button I can switch between 4K 240Hz or 1080p 480Hz, though I rarely use the 1080p 480Hz dual mode due to how stretched 1080p looks on a 32 inch screen

[vagrant mica]

Yeah, I rarely switch resolutions. I just use DLSS

[dark yoke]

I’ve been 1440p on PC since 2005 except a brief time having 1080p and 4K but will make the switch to permanent 4K this or next year!

[vocal gorge]

had a chance to try DLSS 4.5?

[dark yoke]

Especially with GPU power able to properly handle 4K.

[finite depot]

Nah

Havent updated it yet

My rtx anyway is not good at all

[cerulean basin]

I was having a lot of VRAM issues at my workstation in the office. Had an RTX 3070, so they upgraded me to a 4070. Somehow still had issues, so now I have a 5070 Ti at work. Probably the person who needs it the least at work o_0

[regal bone]

Hi

[frozen bobcat]

I don’t know why, but every time I open my digital keyboard my Xbox just gets slower and slower until it crashes and it like lags like crazy

[midnight vale]

Yo

[slender spade]

big free upgrade

I'm playing the new fortnite South park map for the first time.

and I just had the most embarrassing death ever.

[tired hare]

Hi

I need advice from someone who's played both Playstation and Xbox so I play on Playstation 4 and I'm looking for a change in gaming since I've been a lifelong Playstation player so for new people to the Xbox consoles which would work better a X or S

I have also never in my life played on xbox

[slender spade]

I've been lifelong PlayStation for the most part, that's a hard question in the way of your budget and how many games you're looking to play.

[tired hare]

My budget is around 300-350

[slender spade]

if you find yourself to play alot of games and want the most performance and graphics get the series X. storage too! series s standard comes with 500GB. you're better off getting a series X at that point if a 1TB model is more pricier over there.

[slender spade]

dollars?

[tired hare]

Yes USD

I was leaning more toward S but I don't know much about the up and downs of the S

[slender spade]

okay might be better to go for the series s just bare in mind about the storage options or going for the series X and saving a little more or waiting on a sale.

[slender spade]

for the most part it's just storage, it's slightly less powerful than the ps5 too in some specs but nothing dramatic afaik.

[tired hare]

Well I'll definitely get it to upgrade me from my 2013 ps4

[slender spade]

sounds good to get the s model then they are more affordable now.

[tired hare]

Is there extended storage devices I could get for the S or does it not support that

[fiery python]

You can get the Seagate or Western Digital expansion cards

[tired hare]

I'm not sure what that is

[slender spade]

you can but m.2 drives are a whole new thing for current consoles just be sure to get the right one for the games you're wanting to store.

[slender spade]

those are brands of storage options

[fiery python]

Google the names I gave you.

[tired hare]

Ok thank you

I'll look into it

[slender spade]

praise God.

you'll never miss HDD when switching.

[grim notch]

hello guys

[slender spade]

hallo.

[fiery python]

I miss the prices, but that's all.

[grim notch]

only ultimate subscirbers got the new UI in cloud gaming?

[upbeat matrix]

Wait a sec, Xbox one/360/OG games can’t be played on these?

Just making sure

[fiery python]

Yes, you can play all games on them.

[upbeat matrix]

Oh good

[fiery python]

But you NEED them for Series X|S optimised games.

[ripe grotto]

Sup

[grim notch]

can anyone reply on this?

[fiery python]

I don't use cloud gaming, so have no idea.

[slender spade]

I recently folded into getting an m.2 SSD 2TB for pc. I couldn't bare to use hdd anymore. my main drive only had 1TB m.2, no regrets even though it was expensive T_T

[grim notch]

ahh i don't have image perms

[slender spade]

Xbox has a beta program so it could also be that.

[grim notch]

it says The new experience isn't available for you just yet. Let's get you back to familiar ground

[grim notch]

aright any way to get in the program?

[pallid geyser]

Ur better off buying a ps5 if you've already got games u like on ur playstation

[slender spade]

here you go my friend

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/01/26/try-the-new-xbox-cloud-gaming-web-experience-now-in-public-preview/

says it all in there.

[minor coral]

Ok

[slender spade]

they want a fresh new experience so they want to try out xbox.

[grim notch]

i might suggest buying a pc but the only reason i might consider buying consoles is cuz of gta6 and ram prices

[serene hazel]

My packages are in my town but they aren't coming today

They are coming tomorrow

[slender spade]

yeah oughta be quick to get a pc before it gets worse. it'll come back down eventually but for now it stuck. you could stumble across a lucky find from any other sellers. if you want GTA 6 which many people are getting consoles for now then yeah just opt for a console. pc release won't be for a while.

[grim notch]

after a while all might shift into cloud gaming

[slender spade]

at least, knowing rockstar. maybe they'll suprise us who knows.

[grim notch]

they suprise us with delays

[slender spade]

that's fine with me

that game has huge expectations and things going for it I wouldn't be suprised or fault it

[grim notch]

not for me...

[grim notch]

they got 7 years

i mean u can built a whole town in real life in 7 years

[slender spade]

yea so? game development takes time if you want a good game its worth waiting for

[grim notch]

and 2 billion budget

[tired hare]

I've been playing playstation for about 15 years I've played almost about all I wanted to play

[slender spade]

somebody has not learnt from cyberpunk

[grim notch]

its not always cyberpunk

[slender spade]

the game is fixed now but that's what happens

[grim notch]

there are excellent games which is dev in shorter time

and some games are bad even while delaying

[winged warren]

Just bought a banned xbox 360 for extremely cheap

[tired hare]

I love watching videos like that

It's entertaining

[grim notch]

so talking time for "polishing" while u had over 7 years and 2 billion budget dosen't seems nice for fans

[tired hare]

What are we on about guys

[slender spade]

that's just how long game development takes now they don't want to overwork their employees and start crunch.

[grim notch]

they alr did

[slender spade]

well even worse than that 😂

the Devs at cdpr are passionate and lovely unfortunately even that took about 2 years to fix up the unfinished game because the CEO wanted to release it sooner and now he's fired 🙃

[slender spade]

IL credit you for saying 7 instead of like 10 or something. people somehow ignore that they worked on rdr2 before fully going all in on with GTA 6

[tired hare]

It's black history month?

That's a dumb question of me to ask

[slender spade]

Black History Month is celebrated in February in the US, Canada, and Jamaica, while in the UK it is observed in October

[tired hare]

I should know

Oh ok

[slender spade]

not really, some things are celebrated different times.

[vagrant mica]

Nice!

[vagrant mica]

Yeah it’s pretty good

[fallow moat]

[dark yoke]

Ty! - I’m ready and excited, now the monitor I want just needs to exist and come out 😂

[vagrant mica]

Lol yeah, I’ve been playing 4k ever since I got a PC and I do really like it

4090 is definitely capable of it for the majority of games

[grim notch]

4090 is overkill

[dark yoke]

More power is never overkill

That’s a bad take imo

[slender spade]

@grim notch anyway before we wrap up that convo just wanted to say I hope that didn't seem like an argument. it's a long time for sure but that's worth waiting for, alot has changed with game development and studios /Devs need that extra time even if it is just polishing things up. it's best to have something fully playable and complete. nobody wants another launch disaster. games like saints row will simply be killed off, luckily cdpr is independent🙏

[vagrant mica]

I just bought a super powerful pc that will last for years

[cyan flower]

What’s up yall

[vagrant mica]

So when I next upgrade will also get a brand new powerful pc

[grim notch]

yeah lets hope for the best

ima start saving up for gta 6 from now maybe its gonna be around 80-90$

[vagrant mica]

Thinking I will upgrade during the 70 series (if that does exist at some point)

[dark yoke]

Power also helps:

1% Lows - not just about top end but lows and average

Also,

Some games your GPU can run quieter and cooler if it’s not being stretched, which helps when you can cap FPS and/or can use DLSS and FG.

So more power has multiple advantages.

Not just for Max FPS.

[grim notch]

it is but maybe not in this case

[dark yoke]

Makes no sense

Not to me anyway

[grim notch]

then just get 10 5090s

and use 10% of it

[dark yoke]

Not possible

[grim notch]

it is possilbe with NVDIA's rigs

[dark yoke]

You can’t link 10 5090s and expect better performance

[slender spade]

my pc will probably explode if I try to run GTA 6. I have a 3060TI.

[dark yoke]

You don’t realise that multi GPUs cut CPU performance.

[trail harness]

SLI isn't really a thing anymore

[grim notch]

exactly so more power is not always usefull

[trail harness]

hasn't been for a while

[dark yoke]

Multi GPUs for rendering or work based solutions is not the same as gaming,

I’ve been there and done that with Multi GPUs first hand.

[dark yoke]

Again, you’re making up a situation that’s not possible for gaming and saying “see”

[grim notch]

iam not just talking about gaming omg

[dark yoke]

It’s like me saying instead of one car I’ll just buy a car with 10 engines so it goes faster because it’s “more power”

[grim notch]

gaming is not the only thing in the world

[dark yoke]

Ok buddy in that case you’re definitely wrong then

Because yes more is better.

[slender spade]

what do you mean... its not!!?

[unreal isle]

🤣

[dark yoke]

Especially if it’s not for gaming

[grim notch]

sure man

[grim notch]

not for me atleast lol

[slender spade]

i joke

i see an opportunity I take it

[vocal gorge]

Focusing on gaming one really strong CPU and GPU is enough for a great experience

[dark yoke]

Since AMD/Nvidia doesn’t support SLi gaming, this is the only way tbh unless you play a game that supports it previously and have a specific want for it

Then there’s this guy who liquid cooled his dual 5090s 😄

[slender spade]

great experience playing with the best pc known to man, with no house/j

[dark yoke]

https://youtu.be/JjeZ-oaROQM?si=s-MIR-iulufZZcLM

[dark yoke]

I mean there’s people in the server with a top 1% PC who also have a house 😉

[tawny haven]

Hi everyone

[slender spade]

send em my way 🙇‍♀️ IL need some time to....inspect

[dark yoke]

Hey hands off!

My PC is fingerprint free 😝

[slender spade]

i was just taking a look😇

[grim notch]

these exams won't let me game peacefully omg

[slender spade]

focus on your exams gurl

[grim notch]

fr

[slender spade]

then enjoy gaming as much as you want

[grim notch]

the fact is i can't

after exams i gtg for higher studies

and can't game for like 4 years

[dark yoke]

After higher studies gotta be Highest Studies?

[grim notch]

and then gotta get job

[grim notch]

yeah gotta get degree

[severe cloak]

is there not a way to contact an actual human at xbox? I know that it says nobody here can do anything about enforcement but I genuinely just got banned for asking “does anybody have any building materials for sale” in a fallout 76 LFG, every other post is someone asking for something in a vending machine idk what to do bc the xbox ai does absolutely nothing

[slender spade]

supreme studies when?

[dark yoke]

Maximum Pro Elite Galox studies when?

[slender spade]

aw hell nah

[grim notch]

yo ty got the new couldUI

[slender spade]

ofcourse !🫶

[grim notch]

i just wanna sort of the games included with premium GP from others and now its possible in new UI

[slender spade]

but yeah studying is most important, you could find yourself having an hour or two to play just make sure to do the most important things first

[unreal isle]

Animtated though...... idk if I'll watch 😭

[grim notch]

yeah i usually study for like 6-8Hr(its 7 but i can't lol)

[slender spade]

animated can be great if done right

[slender spade]

good job, I'm sure you will go very far in life, wishing you the best with your studies! gaming is always there if you need to chill and a moment to get away from real life struggles

[unreal isle]

For me, personally; no -- I don't watch anything animated!

[slender spade]

fair enough

[slender spade]

go watch predator badlands when you get the chance

funny movie

[unreal isle]

No.

[slender spade]

aww why not?

[unreal isle]

I don't do horrors. 😅

[slender spade]

it's not horror at all, at least it doesn't feel like it

it's funny if anything

[cerulean basin]

Reminder that people have different thresholds for what causes tension or fear in them

[slender spade]

I'd say it's a serious yet funny action movie, no horror involved

[fringe heart]

Yo

[slender spade]

yeah I keep that in mind, I don't think badlands is any worse than seeing something like the Joker

ima need a second opinion if anyone has watched it.

[grim notch]

is there any specfic reason that cloud gaming is not in some countries

is it server issues?

[slender spade]

many reasons

[grim notch]

legal ones?

[slender spade]

regulations, infrastructure costs, low latency and privacy issues

[grim notch]

aight

[slender spade]

some countries are just more strict with data

[wheat hearth]

I have a trial gamepass code to give away

[slender spade]

#xbox-game-pass

you can post in that channel 🫶

[charred lintel]

hi

[desert sonnet]

Oooo My Sims is on gamepass

And I just want everyone to know. It's MY Sims. Not YOUR Sims. MY

[unreal isle]

🍕 Ordered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄 ❤️ 💚

[slender spade]

I'm thinking back to the intro which could be considered "shocking" so debatable.

[slender spade]

pizza! which place?

[tired hare]

Hi.

How is everyone?

[slender spade]

ITS MINE NOW

[vocal gorge]

Pizza!

[slender spade]

good! I'm going to give myself another step away, I've just been waiting for a game to install.

[tired hare]

That’s good I hope the game is good.

[slender spade]

it's not, it's just a fortnite update but Ty 😂

I wanna claim my game pass vbucks

[unreal isle]

A local one.

[slender spade]

enjoy 🙂 🍕

[wicked stag]

First of the month!!!!

[cerulean basin]

Little Nightmares is still pretty creepy

[undone raft]

🔥

[edgy stream]

Fr ?

[tired hare]

Oe

[green laurel]

Guys it's been a month since i saw you. How are you all 😄

[upbeat matrix]

I could’ve sworn I replied to you just a few days ago
I’m frustrated I’m studying now

[slender spade]

i think that's the Joke lol, see you next year ah joke.

best of luck with your studies

my keyboard is bad again so peace out for now

/gen. idk why it does this, having a screen protector on iPhone

[upbeat matrix]

Oh lmao

[upbeat matrix]

Thanks

[magic bone]

Hi

I sadly woke up today

[cerulean basin]

Well you'd have to eventually 😛

[upper meteor]

Hey anchel

[cerulean basin]

Hey Icky

[fiery python]

@rare mesa Let's not.

[cerulean basin]

What have you been up to?

[upper meteor]

I've been playing a lot of Minecraft for the past 3 days, a friend recently started a realm so that's why

Plus, with the shader pack I got, I've been getting many pictures, one sec

[cerulean basin]

Gloomy some of them, but neat

The last time I played Minecraft was with you and Deek years ago 😛

[merry palm]

Did he kill you in that too? /j

[upper meteor]

Yeah, this shader pack gives you more gloomy lighting 😁 I absolutely love it

I haven't checked the nether yet surprisingly

[upper meteor]

Also what, I do not remember this

[merry palm]

i remember going in some minecraft something with you actually. there was halo??

[cerulean basin]

It was because of a Halo world

[upper meteor]

OHHHH

I remember now, yes we were playing on the halo world

[short mantle]

It really annoys me that Outlook now has ads.

[upper meteor]

Whaaatt

I'm still annoyed at the ads in Netflix 😒

[short mantle]

I always get no ads when it comes to streaming. You can get rid of ads in Outlook too, but you have to be subscribed to Microsoft 365.

[magic bone]

Ad blocker

[cerulean basin]

I don't think we have options for paid streaming services with ads here

[short mantle]

This is what Italians think of us. 😅

[magic bone]

I'd eat it

[mellow needle]

Is there any game out there that is actually fun

[short mantle]

Out of the millions of games out today, you don’t think there’s a fun one?

[abstract mist]

If you haven't found one, then maybe gaming is not for you

[slender spade]

way too much crust man 😭🙏

[cerulean basin]

I had that one on my feed earlier today 😛 Pretty sure I even replied to one of the comments where they then went into the size of a coffee in Italy

[magic bone]

Phasmophobia

[slender spade]

is it cheese filled at least

[cerulean basin]

That's the main issue you see with that pizza? 😛

[upper meteor]

Helldivers

[magic bone]

Thats my favorite pizza

[slender spade]

y'all already talked about offending every Italian out there I saw the crust at first sight 😂

[short mantle]

I don’t think anyone offended the Italians.

[slender spade]

it's a joke about the pizza

[upper meteor]

I offend them each time I order Hawaiian pizza 🙁

[short mantle]

mamma mia

[fallow moat]

Happy 35 years id Software!

[merry palm]

i need to try the banana pizza at some point. i hear its actually good, but it is hard to wrap my brain around

[limber carbon]

laces up my snow boots and runs away

[cerulean basin]

It's more a joke about American food, not Italians

[slender spade]

as long as it's good and you like it who cares 🤷‍♀️ you do you

[merry palm]

me and simon on same wavelength lmao

[short mantle]

I don’t want any kind of fruit on my pizza

[upper meteor]

I am so sorry, that's not pleasing to look at.. it reminds me of the flood from halo 3

You see the similarities, right 😂

[merry palm]

i had a great pizza last night

garlic sauce with chicken and cilantro

[short mantle]

It was the only way they were able to defeat them.

[upper meteor]

Man I love cilantro

[merry palm]

big same

[cerulean basin]

I was just looking at this when I searched for "worst pizzas" and you go and mention cilantro 😛

[upper meteor]

Ham pizza with no cheese seems like the safest option

[cerulean basin]

(I'm guessing they are all AI pictures)

[merry palm]

they feel fake yeah

ive had an oreo pizza, but it was not attached to another one

[short mantle]

Pig’s blood cake 😳

[cerulean basin]

Not that strange, is it? 😛 Just might go by different names in each country

[granite verge]

The best worst pizza will forever be none pizza left beef

[merry palm]

mmm bread with a side of beef

[cerulean basin]

In Sweden lots of pizza places have... banana curry pizza

[merry palm]

i want to try that

[granite verge]

[short mantle]

I couldn’t eat stuff like that. Food like that and blood pudding looks gross lol.

[merry palm]

i like other curry pizza, but that its so common in an area means that it must be good

not sure about the crunchy bits tho

texture would be weird

[cerulean basin]

In Naples I got to eat in this amazing pizza last year at a place that is recommended in the Michelin guide. They make this "star pizza" where the points of the star are filled with ricotta cheese and it's AMAZING

[limber carbon]

Speaking of weird textures, frog anyone?
Pizza Hut China

puts running shoes on and runs 😄

[merry palm]

frog just tastes like chicken tbh

[cerulean basin]

h..el.l...p meee....

[merry palm]

😂

[short mantle]

I had a friend in the military that was from Louisiana. He swore up and down that bullfrogs were good eating. It’s very common down there.

[oblique grove]

When they gonna show fh6?

[cerulean basin]

They already did, last week

[oblique grove]

No way

[cerulean basin]

They spent a solid 10 minutes or so talking about it

[merry palm]

way

[oblique grove]

Cant wait to pre order in may

[limber carbon]

Two weeks ago right?

[cerulean basin]

It was literally the same day they announced it releases in May

[merry palm]
