    Bought The Fractured But Whole last night.

    God damn that game is great. The darker your skin color is, the more difficult the game is :laugh:

    I can't imagine I'd ever like it, but have heard nothing but positive reviews about it.

    How much content is there? Stick of Truth was great but definitely not worth $60. I feel like I can just wait a year and get it for 10

    That's extremely low end for an rpg

    It's better once you get used to it. The old UI pulled information for everything it contained as soon as you pressed the guide button so it caused lag. This one doesn't do that and conceals information behind more button presses but when you actually go to something that needs to pull information it's pulling a lot less which results in much snappier performance once you're accustomed to navigating it.

    I didn't like it much at first either but after a few days it was obvious that it was better.

    If you digitally buy The Fractured But Whole, you get The Stick of Truth with it. So that would add some hours to your gameplay.

    Either way, it wouldn't make a difference for me. Love South Park. Love Matt and Trey. 20 hours of excellent gameplay in the South Park universe is better than 60 hours of average gameplay.

    Stick of Truth was one of the best games I played that year it came out. Never laughed so hard at a video game in my life.

    Stick of Truth was amazing. Got Fractured But Whole on PC, but it has been crashing on startup, and has random freezes. Hopefully they'll patch a fix soon.

    This new UI fucking sucks. How is this more functional than the last one? It doesn't even look better cosmetically.

    I've noticed much more seamless transitions when menuing and sending messages. I'm all about less lag when accessing the dash board.

    the only thing I hate about the new UI is that your friends are only identified by their avatar. so dumb imo.

    You got to click on the bar where it only shows avatars, then you'll see the familiar list. Same thing goes for parties, have to click on the avatars to see who's in the party. I thought the purpose of a new UI was to increase functionality.

    There were like 3 big dashboard overhauls in 8 years on the 360 IIRC. There have been what? 4 already in 4 years on X1? Way too many. I think they've got a good foundation to work from now as everything is noticeably snappier with this new UI. This most recent change was really only done to get in line with Microsoft's new Fluent Design. Hopefully they just tweak what they've landed on now for a while and let everyone just get comfortable with a UI and stick with it.

    They're actually supposedly "fixing it" with a huge update in the spring that will also bring enhancements for Xbox One X.

    What would be awesome is if they just went ahead and made Halo 1 and Halo 2 backwards compatible (select original Xbox titles will start being backwards compatible tomorrow) and somehow enabled online play for Halo 1 and just turned it back on for Halo 2. I doubt that's what's going to happen but at least they're taking another big crack at fixing it. Apparently the Halo 5 team is helping out because they've found some new tricks within the OS to get some things working better so they're going to implement them.

    Halo 3 is backward compatible now but no one's on so MCC is the only option

    Did a hard reset about 40 minutes ago, now my Xbox won't turn back on. The light stays orange after I cycle the power supply, and the console makes the chirping noise likes it's turning on when I press the power button, but nothing lights up and the light stays orange. Really don't want to spend the money on a new console.

    I got frustrated and whacked the side of the Xbox next to the power button, shit powered up on my next try :rockin:. Underrated move, can't believe it worked. Still scared to turn it off again.

    I played way too many hours of Fortnite last night. Got 2nd in my last game, Taco Sa1ad. My entire team died when there was still 80+ people left, so I basically cheesed until it was a standoff between me and 1 other guy. I shot a rocket launcher into his sky-high base, and it knocked him to the ground, but I didn't realize it knocked him out of his base. So, while I was still looking up and trying to aim my next rocket, he shot me from the ground with 30hp remaining after the huge fall. :bang:

    With seemingly limited supply I don't think there will be any offers like that until maybe after Thanksgiving.

    Got an e-mail from Amazon saying the X I pre-ordered from there will arrive on release day (Tuesday).

    Unfortunately, that one is going to my friend in Fargo. Still haven't even had the funds taken out for my X which I pre-ordered with money on my Microsoft account from the Microsoft store which other people say is not normal. Gonna have to contact MS tomorrow or something to make sure everything is in order.

    if you go in expecting elder scrolls you will not like it. if you go in expecting something a little bit different in that universe you'll really enjoy it.

    Day 1 edition trade in is only worth $100 toward the X. For that keep it and have a second one in the apt.

    I did not enjoy the beta. I was somewhat looking forward to a more simplified, BOTG COD but the beta just didn't play very well. Felt like I was shooting marshmallows and I would just drop dead instantly so it was like desync city. Is the real game any better? IW was awful all around but BO3 was very similar where I didn't enjoy the beta but the retail release felt a lot better.
