The difference in wired and wireless is like night and day. It's not even possible to play, for example, Geometry Wars in wireless mode, the aim just lags so much. It might not be noticeable if you have only used a wireless controller, but plug one in and compare them together and it will be immediately obvious.
Its not night and day, it's 10ms. That's potentially less than your display.

You might potentially have some really bad local wireless interference or something. Wired controllers add less lag than most TVs.

Yes. They're pretty flirty, calling me "mister" and using kissy emoji.

Told one of them to identify themselves or be blocked since they were spamming pretty hard, they screamed "DO IT I DARE YOU!!!" so I did it.

Well, that's my story thanks for reading.

I figure they are bots as most ignore my taunts and keep spitting out a pretty obvious script. Must have something to do with Live being able to work on Windows. I get about 5-7 a week. All of them pretend to be women and then invite you to a cam site.

I don't know but I took a gander at one's friend list and it was fairly obvious they were just going through alphabetically. I realize that is how they are sorted but just by looking I could tell they'd added by: Ba, bab, bac, bad.

They (r/xboxone) are going off it appearing on some xboxdvr list, but another user showed how easy it is to get pretty much anything on the 360 to show up on it, so I'm not holding my breath. MW2 online is a hackery clusterfuck anyway.

Even COD4's multiplayer is a clusterfuck. You can't spawn in without some try hard using a bolt action with an acog to insta-kill you. They didn't do anything to actually fix it.

Prop Hunt is awesome though.

So, I'll probably finish up Quantum break this weekend. Whats another exclusive worth busting out?

How are Halo 5 and Gears 4?
Other stuff I might try are Ori and the Blind forest and Recore.

If you have a Kinect I recommend Fru.

It's the only game I've ever seen make a novel use of motion other than "waggle to do x."

I seriously wish we had more novel ideas like it.

Ori is good
Recore is an unfinished mess
Halo 5/gears 4 are more of those games.
Dead rising 3/4 are sucky versions of dead rising
Rare replay is good value
Ryse is launch window filler
Sunset overdrive is ok

Cant think if anymore games rn except forza

Yeah I want to play Halo 5 and Gears 4, but knowing it's probably just more of the same basically gives me zero urgency to play them since I'm always just 1 and done with the single player and don't touch the MP.

Ori is a beautiful, tough platformer.

Recore... has potential, but you can see where they removed one of the frames. Like, there's an obvious empty space. And, the final level is a horrible slog, requiring you to have picked up a good portion of the special rainbow cores or whatever that keep doors sealed.

This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the atrocious load times. Like, just terrible, even on an external. You can tell where the seams are and where they cut to get it out of the door on time.

Halo 5 is all right. They made some (huge!) story missteps in their quest to not make more of the same. They know what they did.

Ryse is like Arkham Asylum if everyone was ancient Romans or English folks, and didn't have any of Batman's wonderful toys or anything else cool that Batman does. Combo-based brawler, really.

Everyone got Knack for free who bought a PS4 at launch in Japan.

I was going to say Knack could be a game next month since that's when Knack 2 is releasing, but Knack 2 is out the day PS+ titles roll over so doing that would seriously shoot its sales in the foot.


I hope they do it anyway. :unsmigghh:

No it can't, but every UHD disc or box set I've ever seen (including Planet Earth II afaik) includes normal Blu-rays too.

Planet Earth II is actually the sole exception. Its bonus disc is always a normal 1080p Blu-Ray, but the 2 discs with the main content are only provided as UHD 4K discs.

You also shouldn't play UHD Blu-rays on non-HDR configurations as the colors aren't calibrated for that.

Oh, my bad. That indeed seems to be the case for the US version. The European set does include the main feature on Blu-rays, however.

Quantum Break really feels like it was made 10 years ago. Shooters have come a long way and QB seems to include just about every single lovely thing that shooters used to have but got rid of.
