My controllers ok on the stick drift front but it's not exactly getting used daily or anything. It's always had what feels like loose sections of "panels" or whatever the plastic body parts are. I can move them around a little if I grip one side or the other harder than the other and you can see the gaps open and close and makes a creaky sound. Doesn't really affect anything but it feels cheap as gently caress. Probably because these controllers are in fact cheap as gently caress.

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



yeah i blame my controller not drifting noticeably on the lack of forza playing. i did a shitton of online racing and setting leaderboard times in forza games back on the 360 which is pretty drat hard on the sticks (especially setting leaderboard times holy poo poo). meanwhile i barely play forza 7 since it's poo poo, and never got huge into forza 6 since most goons just checked out of forza when 5 came out and lmao @ racing with randoms.

in fact the game i've spent the most time in on my xbox one is...world of tanks, at nearly a thousand hours. lmfao i am a loving moron.

Well a new controller is like AUD $55 but I guess you’re right. It seems like a lot of money to get headphones working. :argh:

I have the same old controller, it sucks lol. I haven't had any drift issues but the grip on the stick has worn down to virtually nothing since it's like 5 years old now so I'm probably due for a new one anyway.

Fortunately my speakers have an extendable input thing that I can plug my headphones into.

Cool haven’t had voice commands since I got the One X. Mostly use it for pausing a video when the controller is powered off at the other end of the couch.

How does downloading stuff on the xbone work? I queued up a bunch of games from game pass and left it on overnight but it turned itself off without finishing. Do I need to disable the idle shutdown?

are you using instant on power mode? do you have it set to shut storage off when powered off? i always shut my system off and it downloads.

90s cgi was god awful.

I'm curious to know just how many people own an X. Everytime I see one of these comparisons it's never favorable to it. I'm wondering if everyone doesn't give those enhancing patches more care because the user base is tiny.

The vast majority of X patches are really good. I mentioned that one because it's funny how bad it was.

And every new AAA game since X launch is X enhanced.

I'd say the ratio of good to bad patches is like 50:1.

It doesn't. It also doesn't support HDR for games. The only "advantage" it has over the One S is that it has the Kinect port on the back, while on the S/X you need the USB adapter and an extra power outlet.

I honestly don't know of any other bad X enhanced patches than Return to Arkham and Steep. Generally they are really good and polished.

I don't mean bad but I kinda expected more being that the X is allegedly so much more powerful than the Pro. I'm talking only about multiplats. I use my Xbox enough where an X would be beneficial to me but I can't justify it at all. Like Orgins was mostly the same between the two unless they made changes.

It's not allegedly better, it's objectively way better and it shows in almost all games. If it doesn't it's because the devs hosed up, not because of the hardware.

Im getting an X tomorrow because EBgames is offering it for $299AUD if you trade in an Xbone S + 2 games. I have an OG bone which makes it $339 but its still a decent deal considering you cant sell an OG bone here for more than $150.

all my games are on my external drive, do I just disconnect the drive, factory reset and then Im good?

is it better to have my games on my external disk or should I put them on the internal drive on the new console? my external disk is a 3.5" usb 3.0 2TB.

Yes. Also, just keep the games on the drive because the new Bonx will be able to use them as is (or it'll just download enhancement patches as needed).

I don't think there's any considerable difference, assuming the external drive is 5400 rpm like the internal is. The traditional wisdom is that you get a slight advantage by not having the games on the same drive as the OS, so the external drive might be a bit faster.

Forza Horizon 4 is out at the end of this month and Red Dead Redemption 2 is in October. Or did you mean games where you gently caress because I'm sure all the weird anime "She's really a 2000 year old demon" poo poo is on Playstation.

VR is dope. I liked Pavlov on PC. I like Halo and Gears too but I feel like every other platform exclusive shooter either dies or is bad. (killzone sucks).

Also the Halo vr game sucks poo poo. I want to gently caress up the covenant, not shoot targets.
