Sleep mode lets you install games when you're away from the console. Also I have Game Pass and love it. I played Rise of the Tomb Raider a couple weeks ago which was great, all the DLC was like $3 too. I'm going to play SOD2 on Tuesday when it comes out just to try it because I'm not sure if it's really my thing. I never played the first one. Then I'm going to go back and play Fable 2 again because I haven't played it in years. Also all of the people complaining that 25 titles are being removed (exactly 1 year after Game Pass came out so pretty safe to assume they were on a 1 year license) are completely ignoring the fact that they always add games every month too. Do you really think they're not going to add stuff in June when it's E3 and Game Pass is literally like one of 5 top priorities for the company right now?

Rest mode breaks my connectivity with live. Every time i wake the console up i have wifi and xbl issues that disappear after full power cycle. Numerous times ive lost game progress because the xb1 is programmed to kick you to title if your profile gets logged out of live.

Game pass is twenty times better than PS Now because its locally downloaded instead of streamed which means no lag and no compression. Now is like playing games through a greasy window.

Me and my friend constantly had voice chat issue in games were we couldn't hear one another or anybody else in game until we power cycled. Now we don't use rest at all which is a shame they haven't fixed that yet.

Makes me wonder if it has some kind of inherent memory leak issue going on.

There's definitely something going wrong. I couldn't get a stable connection out of my xbox until I turned that poo poo off. Anything that streamed video would glitch, video would stop, audio kept going, then the video would quickly catch up and then resume at 240p until going back to HD and starting over again. Even streaming video from my own media server would constantly buffer. it all went away when I made the xbox completely shut down each time.

Active reload seems like a very overhyped mechanic imo, theres no audio feedback when you do it right to make you feel good and you gotta stop paying attention to look in the corner of the screen for each new weapon you get until you learn its timing. It should be a part of the reticule idgi.

There's a lot of stuff about Gears that was cool as gently caress a decade ago that range from irrelevant to outright bad now. Keep in mind this is the series that popularized cover shooters. And to it's credit the cover system was actually pretty great, much like active reload in 2006, but I have no idea what that series is supposed to be bringing to the table in tyool 2018

It used to be. They heavily nerfed it and change it every month. It's pissed off what little of us still playing just to appease their failing esports and they don't even like it. Now it's all about team shooting with lancers and corner camping. I'm not even gonna get into the input lag in the game or the shooting and running delays (that aren't in the PC version, the game has crossplay btw).

I don’t remember any GoW game being a big deal outside 1 and 2. 1 was a huge change for 3rd person shooters. People were stoked to see how 2 panned out and it was exactly the same as the first game. That’s where they lost me. And the multiplayer has always been poo poo.

That’s maybe a bit uncharitable, I mean the enduring name for the new type of mode added in 2 was “horde mode” for a reason, right?

True, and I’ve never been a fan of horde modes so I never gave more than a few hours so that’s probably why I forgot it. Never cared for the PvP. Pretty much played through the first two with friends and then never touched them again.

Beastie posted:I don’t remember any GoW game being a big deal outside 1 and 2. 1 was a huge change for 3rd person shooters. It is in a strange spot because due to the bullet sponge nature of the enemies the shooting is aggressively mediochre without the cover system to break up mobility. The cover *is* the combat, and you don't have a lot of walking fire capability. I've been replaying Gears recently and it's interesting to compare it against another cover based shooter that came out in 2006, Rainbow Six Vegas. That one wasn't that great either, but it differs because the cover was used to facilitate the combat rather than forcing you into it constantly. You use cover to throw flashbang, breach doors, flank people, and so on. Flanking was more effective because you dont have to dump a mag in every single enemy. It wasn't just stop and pop like Gears is.

I dont get horde/zombie mode. its fun once or twice but yeh after that Im done. Gears of War was the game that made me sell my Wii and buy a 360, but the online play for GoW was garbage. I grabbed a month of gamepass for $1 to try sea of thieves (which is not worth a dollar) and also tried GoW 4 and its the same gameplay with new enemies that are bullet sponges. not even sure why its R18+ classified since all you do is shoot robots who arent real and just shoot sparks instead of blood. Initially bought an xbone this generation because Halo and Forza and both those series have petered out pretty hard, although Forza not so much. All i need is a xbone style controller for a PS5 and Im jumping ship unless Xbox really brings something amazing to the table for the xbox two (the 5th xbox) then again the switch is pretty impressive and the flexibility of something I can play without tying up the TV is really cool, the games are mostly fantastic looking and while its got a lot of shovelware on the store at least the majority of games arent stuffed full of microtransactions.

The later enemies are mutated human pod people so it gets a mature rating Dnt worry they follow the exact same archetypes as the robots so you didnt miss anything Rusher, shooter, bigger shooter

Gears (like Halo) had a split-screen co-op campaign which was pretty cool. Don't see that feature much anymore.

Gears 1 was a pretty milemarker game for it's cover shooting and the graphics were nuts at the time. Like, it was pretty much when 360 era games went from HD Xbox/PS2 games to the next gen. I also thought it was just fun as hell despite how dumb looking the main characters are. By the time 2 came out cover shooters were already stale and I never even finished it.

I liked Peek-A-Boo With Guns up through 3 and still play horde mode 3 online occasionally. Mainly I got trilogy-itis out of it where I’ll easily stick with a series for 3 games and it feels like a natural conclusion, and it’ll take a major compelling change in story or gameplay to bring me back. The Judgement Day prequel was where I gave up. Same for Halo I guess.

Halo 4 had plenty of potential to be an excellent sequel, multiplayer wise, but they hosed that up with randomised weapon drops making the bulk of Halos core gameplay (power weapon and map control, team tactics) useless. They also nerfed the poo poo out of vehicles. the campaign was garbage however. they were like 3 years late to the killstreak/perk stuff and it really showed.
