You want the new controller though, it's better than the og controllers.

I thought RDR2 was supposed to be a good game and not a "riding a horse through snow" simulator.

Push passed it. Once you get to the open world stuff it’s way better. The first two hours in the snow is a slog.

I don't "get" the horse controls at all. It doesn't always move in the direction I steer and I ended up failing the escort mission because I drove into some trees and fell off. From what I read in the RDR2 thread it looks like the horse is a pretty big part of the game so I'm not really interested in playing it anymore. I'l admit I'm not great at 3d games but I can at least drive the vehicles in the Halo games and ride the horse in Breath of the Wild.

I'm having some issues with party chat. I'm playing cross-platform (friend is on Xbox one, I'm using the Xbox app on win 10) and things have been going fine until tonight. On party chat I could hear her but she couldn't hear me. It's definitely not a hardware issue (tested my mic with a bunch of other stuff) and I've tried all the fixes I can find like firewall settings and privacy settings. If anyone has any advice on what could be going on it would be appreciated.

Thankfully, the process of claiming a refund from the Microsoft Store is straightforward:

Sign in to your Microsoft Account.

From the top menu bar, select Payment & billing > Order history.

Navigate to the game or app you want to be refunded, and select 'Request a refund'.

quote:

Games and apps are only eligible for a refund within 14 days of purchase, and only if you've played less than 2 hours across all accounts

That option doesn't show up for me, I had it sitting at the title screen for a while so it's for sure been running for more than two hours. I'll keep that in mind next time. Thank you!

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
I just bought an X from Costco and RDR2 from Best Buy. The outside of the box has an Xbox game pass code underneath a sticker but there was a different code inside the box too along with a 14-day XBL pass. Anyone know if I can redeem them both for 2 months of game pass? I'm waiting to redeem them until after I've burned myself out of RDR2 or else I'd just try both codes and answer my own question. The side of the box says it only includes 1 month of game pass so I don't understand why I have two different codes.

Welp traded in the original xbone for the X @ Gamespot. Got RDR 2 along with the X for about $250+tax with the deal.

Kinda crazy. One thing is they were hell bent on the hdmi cable. But the manager was happy to stack deals and went out of his way to do it.

Anyways thanks thread, now I have the most galaxy's most powerful console ever invented.

Well at least the one I tried to redeem (the one on the big wasteful piece of cardboard) was only for "new customers" so gently caress me for expecting a month of game pass for buying a 500 dollar console I guess. Definitely use that one first because the game pass codes I got from PAX were stackable, so maybe the one under the sticker is?

Curious too, although given RDR2 is almost exclusively advertised with the PS4 (a far too small chunk of the population will know about the resolution difference), I expect a boost will mainly be from Gamestop's deal.

Game looks great on my Xbox One S and 720p TV at least. :haw:

If you only have a 1080p TV I wouldn't sweat about an upgrade unless you only have an Xbox One (S).

Funny, because I had zero interest in picking RDR2 up until awhile after release, and my whole plan was to get it on PS4 since I have a Pro. Then I watched the leaked gameplay videos a couple days before release and immediately my interest piqued. Then I watched Digital Foundry's comparison video, and to me it was night and day between how crisp it looked on the X, vs pretty drat blurry even on the Pro.

I own it on both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Game does look better on the X but it's totally fine on the Pro too. Played through to Chapter 2 and hosed around around Valentine on both platforms.

No the opening scene is like 2 hours long. It’s a bit of a tutorial, which I don’t mind.

But you spend so much time just going back and forth, slowly.

The older I get, the less tolerance I have for long tedious unskippable horseshit tutorial levels. I like Doom 2016 a lot more than I should solely for the fact that it just goes "you're here, now shoot some poo poo"

RDR 2 is a bit disappointing to me. Been playing it a lot hoping it gets more interesting and it is just more of the same. Loved RDR 1 and GTA 5.

I'm about 4-5 hours in so far, and I can only stand playing for 30-45 minutes before I feel like playing something else or turning it off. Not saying that the game is bad by any means, just saying this is one of the rare games that I can only play in short spurts.

I caved while waiting for RDR2 to install and claimed the codes. Claimed the first month and got another month for setting up a recurring payment. The second one (the one on the outside of the box) gave me an error saying the code had already been redeemed but I got an email 30 min later saying my next recurring payment isn't until May 2019 so I guess everything worked somehow.

Well that's a hell of a long two free months. I find the codes being for new customers only kind of lovely but I guess :capitalism:

All I know is I'm going to be very sad when game pass runs out and I need to drop real money on Forza 4, because I sure as hell am not going without it.

You can keep paying for gamepass or dont forget to buy FH4 before it expires because gamepass gives you a discoint on it.

I know I can keep paying for it but it would essentially be paying a subscription for a single game. Thanks for the reminder about the discount though, I should definitely remember to purchase it while I can get the discount.

No my Pro + X are on a 4K TV but I have a smaller 720p TV downstairs with a Bone S and a regular PS4. But RDR2 on Xbox One S on said setup still looks great.
