Xbox One Thread: "Alright fuck, I'll download it"

Verizon is selling the series s for $150 for account holders. Pretty silly deal if anyone needs one

 

Hello fellow xbox brethren. New to the family. Ive started my journey with red dead 2 and pga 2k3. Both are pretty fun.

 

Is Cyberpunk worth picking up on a sale?

 

Yes

 

Jeez I keep flipping around between threads and read this as Cybertruck and I was screaming nooooo

 

I thought it was OK. I thought the gun combat was absolutely miserable.

 

Is the xbox live gold to gamepass ultimate still the most economical way to go to get gamepass?

 

It’s about fucking time, Todd

 

Valheim is on game pass now. I love survival games so I just downloaded it, it’s been on PC about a year and is supposed to be fantastic. Looking forward to hopping in tomorrow.

 

Haven't played in a year, but my only complaint was that it didn't have multiplayer / pvp

 

holy fuck at these reviews for RE4Remake

 

I read that the xbox version needs a patch to fix how floaty and imprecise the aiming is. Apparently it's a lot easier to aim on PS5 than Xbox.

 

Been playing a little bit and I’m enjoying so far

 

Back in the game after a year long hiatus. What gamepass games should I check out that have been released since last summer? Downloading atomic heart right now.

I'm probably too old for anything like souls that's gonna be rage inducing

 

wo long

 

I’ve really been enjoying valheim

 

should i be trying to join someones game/server or just play by myself, idk wtf I'm doing

 

It’s definitely a bit more fun with friends but I’ve also played a ton solo too. Idk what it’s like joining a random server, probably mixed bag. You might wanna watch or read 10 minutes on like what to do if you feel a bit lost early

 

I’ve just been playing solo, and I watched a like ten minute “things I wish I knew when I started” type video

 

Tried atomic hearts and gave up after realizing the main character wasn't any less annoying when the audio was switched to Russian. Also wasn't sure how to feel about my character getting sexually assaulted by a refrigerator.

Started playing Chained Echoes instead, and that's seriously one of the best indie JRPG's I've ever played. It's in the same stratosphere as games like Hades and Dead Cells are for their respective genres.

 

Second for Forza Horizon 5. Pretty fun wide open world to drive around. Nice that it’s on cloud gaming as well, so you can save hard drive space.

 

Dead cells is fun. But I have no idea if I'm progressing or what I should be doing beyond killing stuff. Does that come organically, or should I read up on something?

Only a couple of hours in

 

Anyone played the new EA PGA game?

Pretty interesting to read all these leaks about MS exces not being happy with Xbox right now and particularly blaming it on Hi-Fi Rush not being successful commercially. Which is odd because it just doesn’t seem like an interesting game at all and had zero marketing associated with it at all.

 

Where’s this at?

 

Insider Jeff Grubb who has been first on a lot of things within the last calendar year

 

Never makes any sense to shadow drop a game like that. It creates a one-day buzz and then it's dead.

The game was a ton of fun and needed to be hyped for a month or two before release.

 

Game has great reviews, apparently, but I had to google in to figure ou what it was.

That's all on marketing.

 

Were you looking for PvP or single player?

If PvP, and you like Battlefield 1, try Hell Let Loose

 

I’m playing Solasta crown of the magister and loving it

 

Best game on console

that and Chivarly 2

 

Haven't played in a bit... def gonna jump back in this weekend

 

Same. Want to check out the latest QoL update. Hope since team 17 has full control that updates will be more frequent.

 

FOR MALRIC!

 

Will again reiterate how much I’m enjoying Solasta. Highly recommend giving it a shot.

 

lol at the rationale being the possible impact on cloud gaming

you know, that thing that makes up less than .5% of video game sales annually and is so famously successful that even Google couldnt even make a go of it and had to refund all of its customers

 

Internet infrastructure in the US has to improve dramatically before cloud gaming fully takes off, or cloud products will have to improve the streaming process. I don't recall there ever being much negative press about the actual capabilities of stadia, though. Google just has a tendency to not finish through on a lot of the things they start. I usually use the xbox cloud service on the steamdeck when I'm away from home, but only games where I don't have to worry about latency. It works surprisingly well, and syncing save data from pc to cloud is smooth.

 

Not looking good for Redfall

Probably a skip on game pass for me

Starfield is going to have a lot of pressure to be good and I’m a bit worried about it

 

they need to go ahead and push it back again because Spencer & the powers that be at Xbox can’t afford another major flop. The next one comes with a complete overhaul in leadership imo

 

You had to know Redfall would fail once they announced it was only launching at 30FPS on console.
