I fail quit Sekiro so loving hard that I had to find another souls-like game to appease myself. Man, I really wanted to experience the Sekiro setting. And the Japanese voice acting and lore stuff was so good and cool. But after about 40 tries trying to kill the first mini-boss Chained Ogre I just couldn’t any more. I beat dark souls 3 on Xbox and didn’t have near this poo poo issue at the beginning. So, I saw The Surge was only $9.99 on sale right now, with two add-on packs being free. The game so far loving owns? The combat seems slower and much more forgiving, and the finishing moves that tear a person’s head or limb or just straight cut their torso off are incredible. Anyone play through The Surge and have any thoughts on how good it is? Ashen is another souls-like that’s free. I tried it for an hour and the world seemed unique and cool but the combat and movement didn’t seem near refined enough for this genre of game. I’d play it if people have finished it and thought it was worth it I guess.

Set the ogre on fire. Constantly retreat back up top on the tree if you need to. It’s easy to pick off the dudes around him. You can also sprint up behind him right away and do a ton of damage before he breaks free. I’m a scrub at DS and Bloodborne but for some reason Sekiro is easier for me.

I haven't paid attention to any xbox news since getting a PS4 instead of a Xbox One, but I got this One controller and and started looking around on the Xbox app on my PC. I can install Xbox games on my PC and play them with gamepass? That seems awesome. Ive signed up for the 14 day free trial and am downloading Crackdown 3 and Gears of War 4. Is gampass a good investment for someone who doesn't own an Xbox?

You can only install games that have crossplay or whatever. I think any Microsoft game from now on will also be released on PC since the xbone pretty much just runs windows now anyway. Third party games will probably not end up on PC through game pass.

Is gampass a good investment for someone who doesn't own an Xbox? How much do you like Forza? But seriously the majority of the list of gamepass titles on Xbox arent on PC, but basically all MS titles are. Depending how fast you beat things it could make sense to sub in every once in a while but since youre going to miss things like how on the bone they get Monster Hunter World on gamepass and on PC you dont a lot of the service is missing for PC only people. Still its definitely a months worth of gameplay.

Yeah the Xbox app is just the new GFWL and everybody I know is confused about it, assuming it's meant solely for communicating with the console when it's more Microsoft's answer to Steam. I like that it tracks other PC games in your shared Xbox Live history (even from GOG), don't expect gamerscore of course

It’s one of the first bosses, so it’s nice to be able to jump up to the tree and nearby bonfire if things get out of control. Like I said I’m a loving scrub at BB and DS but Sekiro seems easier for me. Fast travel and stealth are what makes it more accessible to me.

The stealth sucks cause its so unnecessary you shouldnt be able to just run past 90% of the game with no enemies able to touch you if you elect to not engage with stealth mechanics in a stealth game imo

The stealth is a mixed bag imo. Works great for hit and run tactics and is very satisfying, but it trivializes actually playing through the levels too much and makes the game feel too much like a boss rush. other From games you can play for hours before running into a boss and in Sekiro I'm usually at the next one within 15 minutes which is real frustrating when I might have spent hours trying to kill the previous boss. Just makes the game feel loving relentless.

I finally got around to trying monster hunter world last night and hot drat it’s a good game! I’ve tried over the years to get in to MonHun and bounced off because it’s so obtuse with things but drat world is great.

Is there any way to do offline updating if your console is part of the bullshit microsoft insider program? I just turned my Xbox on for the first time in a few months to watch a blu-ray and it downloads 20% of a system update then fails with an error code that takes me to this unhelpful support page. Of course I can't watch a blu-ray I physically own without internet access (?) and I can't connect to the internet without the system update (???). If I have to factory reset this garbage and spend 40 hours downloading/reinstalling everything, I will instead pack it up in its box and sell it to someone else.

The bigger issue is not being able to play a Blu-ray without being connected to the internet. I packed up the Xbox and plugged in my Sony player from 2015. It played the disc without being connected to the internet. Truly the world's most powerful console.

There’s an option to do a factory reset of just the OS without deleting any games or apps. Had to do that the other day when my system got stuck in a weird update loop

Theres some dumbass cost saving thing where xbox doesnt pay the br dvd license fee/console unless that console tries to watch a movie and then they need to send you the codecs or whatever over the internet to get you movie to play. Its very borked

Yeah, afaik once you downloaded it you dont need to connect to the internet again, but you have to trigger the download the first time so microsoft saves some amount of dosh across all the systems. Id expect that to continue to the next system as well.

I unchecked the bd live setting too just in case that was causing issues but it had no effect.

Copy everything to an external drive first. But yeah my friend is in the program and without fail will get an update pushed right in the middle of a game and he gets sidelined for an hour while it updates his console for no reason. He even has it in the always on mode too, it just decides to gently caress him over whenever we play online together. Maybe it's a region thing and he's getting pushed updates when it thinks he shouldn't be online? Either way pushing an update while someone is playing a game is fuckin stupid. I removed myself from the program when they pushed an early update a few weeks after launch to make party chat work like it did on 360 (join party and talk to friends instead of join party > opt in to talk to friends) but it also broke the ability to join a party with anyone that wasn't on the same build. That was a fun two weeks.

I talked about maybe getting an Xbox X a bit ago and was told to wait until after E3.. I see that they are on sale on Walmart for for $379. Would you all suggest I still wait or is that a good enough deal. I already own a PS4 Pro and am just interested in the BC the Xbox has and maybe Gamepass.

$380 is a pretty decent deal. If you want one than just go for it. I don't imagine anything at E3 that would spur a price drop any lower than $350ish.
