BisterdDave posted:I mean, what else am I supposed to do? Be one of those sickos who plays games for fun?!?! well, yeah. I greatly prefer achievements that surprise me rather than being a checklist of poo poo that the dev decided they spent 500 hours designing so you are forced to 'experience' it. I like the ones that are like the blue tricks (gaps) in Tony Hawk games, example: https://www.trueachievements.com/a9734/used-car-salesman-achievement something that pops up when you do a cool thing as a natural part of playing the game. the points for this is too low. this is a lovely achievement: https://www.trueachievements.com/a9788/marathon-man-achievement 'we deliberately hid poo poo so you have to look up online where they all are to cross this off the list.' the points for this is high because otherwise no one would bother.

I did but it was easier to grab that to illustrate a point than go digging around in other games to find a better one. Make cheevos fun again.

I mean, of course I love games that are just fun to play, but man do I love a good checklist. Trophies/achievements are great at being secondary checklists to go after, plus I enjoy the timestamp that I can look back on, kind of like a gaming scrapbook. Skyrim was a phenomenal example of a game that not only was amazing to play, but the trophies drat near came naturally as well.

I liked the untitled goose game secret achievements because a lot of them were things that came naturally to me during play. when I realised what the secret achievements were like it was easy to work out most of the others just by loving around and having fun.

One thing that made me sad was there weren't more unique interactions to reward this. I thought for sure that by bringing the bra all the way back to the dorky kid something cool would happen, but he didn't even acknowledge it.

Its been 14 years since achievements became a thing, you'd think they would reliably unlock or have some "hey, double check to see if I qualify for this" feature.

Hey I am still considering a One X considering that price drop and all. Only issue is my 34" monitor that I plan to use only has a DP port accessible (PS4 is on HDMI input already). If I were to buy an Amazon DP-HDMI cable, would that work? Also, any difference on the pack to buy? Appears to be a choice between GOW, Star Wars and NBA. None of those games really appeal to me... any hardware rev differences between the packs?

You could plug the PS4 into the Xbox and the xbox to your monitor. This introduces some lag and requires two consoles to be running, but, Im suggesting this entirely only because it is possible. Theres no difference in hardware between the bundles, and since youll be getting gamepass theres no reason to get the GOW or NBA ones.

I didn't know the One X had a pass-through - the latency is not a good thing though. Any recommendations for a cheapo HDMI switch?

I got a 4 in 2 out HDMI switch so I can put my computer on the TV or put my switch or xbox on my monitor. It is sometimes slow and sometimes stops responding, but it works great for me. But it looks like the one I got is no longer for sale, but that's probably how it goes with cheap devices from china like this.

Do they really not have a Forza Horizon 4 or Red Dead Redemption 2 bundle for the One X? Missed opportunity.

SUNKOS posted:Do they really not have a Forza Horizon 4 or Red Dead Redemption 2 bundle for the One X? Missed opportunity. Forza is one thing (though of course it comes with Game Pass, and a bundle does exist at least in Europe), but RDR2 might be because there is/was a marketing deal between Sony and Rockstar that might prevent an Xbox+RDR2 console bundle altogether.

Maybe they were unofficial, but I saw tons of Xbox + RDR2 bundles out around launch. No custom console or anything but they def existed. Again may have just been retailer bundling.

Plenty of Fallout 76 bundles. That's open world and RDR2 is open world, so it's basically the same.

When RDR2 launched Microsoft was doing a "buy a One X & RDR2 and we'll take $150 off" kind of thing. That's what I did, the console also came with Forza 7 & FH4. It was a pretty good deal at the time, I guess.

Started Ninja Gaiden 2 and it’s pretty sick, though I’m not really able to get into a rhythm with the combat yet, like I can in dmc and bayonetta. I remember people liking the original Xbox reboot too. Is that worth it still? Should i play that one first?

I remember people liking the original Xbox reboot too. Is that worth it still? Should i play that one first? They are surprisingly different games despite being a close in time direct sequel. For most peoples money the first one is an all around better game, but the sequel has some choice bits. For the sequel the things to keep in mind is a) dashing is full invulnerability, even for things that are on a delay like explosive kunai you get stuck with and b) you arent always trying to deal damage to enemies per se, your goal is to delimb them then go for the invulnerable kill move (y button) and c) absorbing the orbs your enemies drop powers up a special attack that deals absurd invulnerable damage. Spamming this as much as you can through a fight is nigh on baseline expectation.

Ninja Gaiden 1 always felt like my sweet spot for a game that's supposed to be difficult and is built solely to exist at that difficulty. Haven't found any since that hit that balance for me personally. I feel like if I had enough time to sit around and play Dark Souls 1 that would have come into focus eventually because a few of the starting battles and first boss had me like I get the appeal. I've tried just about every other FromSoft game and other than DS1 they've all been non-starters. Liiiiike, I love it when Platinum games get difficult. There were some sections of Transformers Devestation and MG:R that were

Best achievements were in GRAW where they'd give you an strange amount of points (32, 8, 2, 28, who knows?) and had achievements like "Get to the Top of the Multiplayer Leaderboard" which end up becoming impossible the longer the game is out.

I got a really well crafted email saying my XBLive was canceled at my request and payment refunded. OF course I didn't click on anything, and went to MS and verified my XBL is still active. Probably a scam although it has a bunch of information correct, and the SPF and DKIM checks according to google. I haven't seen any recent reports of this kind of phishing mail. Is this common? Did their system glitch out?

we had an office 365 spoof/phishing email hit our business the other day that went to an 0365 login with prepopulated email address asking for the marks password. thankfully a competitor in our industry got Cryptolocker'd a month ago and only just managed to get their systems back online last week, so we have been pretty heavy on the cyber-security front and nobody fell for it.
