It's still lovely and I had the exact same thing that guy described (YOU HAVE A DRIVER UPDATE :v: ), while playing a nail biter match of SMITE. I guess the solution is to play smite on xbone idk

You could actually restrict automatic updates to just overnight (or whenever you usually sleep).

You probably WANT the ability to make it not update while you're busy, but that ends with people running prime95 or something at all hours to prevent updates. Driver updates maybe should be put off until restart anyway, but if it pisses off people who try to never update I can live with it.

What the hell are you people doing on your PCs? I have Geforce experience installed but it only runs when I tell it to so I can check if there's a driver update. I never get sucked out of my games for anything and I have both xbox and chrome notifications enabled.

I didn't love Sunset Overdrive, but it was a unique game, seems like this would be a no brainer for Microsoft to publish

Microsoft sold very few copies of the first and is tightening its belt a lot in terms of development projects

Also insomniac is not actually interested. They will be making spiderman gently caress off money soon and doing sequels of that until no one cares.

The company I work for had like 30 bundles of OG Xbox Live + headset + Crimson Skies that we literally could not give away to famous people in 2003 or 2004 (because no normal people had heard of videogames yet at that point), I ended up with 4 years of free Live because of it (and 4 copies of Crimson Skies!!!)

I can't recall if I ever played it

It's a different game title. If you own the digital release of Minecraft Xbox One Edition your account gains the digital release of plain "Minecraft" as it shows up. If you own the disc version there's something you can do to get the new version for free as well.

You can have both of these versions installed at once, although "Xbox One Edition" won't be getting anything but minor updates from now on. To move game saves/worlds over from the old version, you import them on the new version like the Xbox One Edition did for bringing over your 360 version saves.

Nice, when you start up an original Xbox game it does that whole blobby green science lab thing that you'd get turning on the original system. Only it looks better than the 480-locked original version

Is somebody poo poo talking MechAssault up in this thread? It's not MechWarrior but an arcade racer isn't a simulator.

I hope Breakdown ends up working so people can finally play it instead of just hearing it get hyped for its ahead of its time details and touches only to find out a reason not many people really liked it for gameplay is because it is extremely unforgiving at certain junctures.

I don't know if they still do it, but Microsoft used to not have a digital/website method for cancelling services like XBL Gold except in areas where they were required by law to do so, so they could force people to call in and potentially get talked out of cancelling. From what I can remember, in the US I think the option appeared if you were located in the specific states which had laws for it, and there may have been a trick where you'd "move" to those states (change your billing address in your MS account) and then the cancel option would show up. Dunno if they changed all of this, though.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand PC gaming. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head. There's also the gamer's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their characterisation - their personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike PC gaming truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Bill's existencial catchphrase "Who could possibly need more than 640 kB?," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Gabe Newell's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have an nVidia tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
