Any educated guesses on how much of a pain in the rear end its going to be to get one of those official headsets? No available pre-orders anywhere in the US that I can see at the moment, but it looks nice and I'd like to have one for night time gaming.

I've been playing a lot of Planet Coaster, it does a pretty good job porting controls from mouse to a gamepad.

I'm sure half of them that were made available at pre-order will all end up being resold for 2-3x retail. I logged into the xbox website and put it on my wish list. so they might email us when it comes back in stock. Worth a shot but otherwise it's going to be a while yet. I haven't tried to do the out-of-stock glitch on the site for it yet but I think they might have fixed that after the series x pre-order fiasco.

I tried this when it first came out for pre-order (and I missed the window). They definitely have an "out of stock" gateway once you actually get it into your cart though. I just tried again to confirm - it confirms as out of stock once you try to checkout. Then I tried it again and the order went through lol. Just got email confirmation.

American McGay posted:NBA 2K21 coming to Game Pass tomorrow, but I'm guessing it will be the standard One version, which is a shame. Apparently the Series version is pretty impressive visually. I really need to know this as I just bought the mamba forever version for what I thought was a significant deal ($44 dollarydoos instead of $149). If it's not next gen I'll feel less stupid. Edit: confirmed it for myself, it is the last gen version https://twitter.com/XboxGamePass/status/1367210860029108226?s=19 UnfortunateSexFart fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Mar 3, 2021 |

I just held the pairing button down like I did with my other controllers. I’ll see about tying it with a cable later I guess. It’s not a huge deal as I’ve got like 10 bone controllers laying around at this point.

Witcher3 is leaving gamepass in less than 2 weeks. If you start now and quit your jobs it should be doable.

Doctor Nutt posted:Okay, I'll bite, what's this glitch? When you load the original pre-load page: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/headsets/xbox-wireless-headset For a brief second the pre-order now button pops up before going away. Just try to click it fast enough (or alternatively hit esc at the right time before it goes away) and you'll get it added to your cart. Now this is where, once you try to go through the checkout process, it'll tell you it's out of stock. But after trying a few times the order went through. I will say though, now I can't get it to work. I can get the button to pop up but it just links back to itself at the moment. I wonder if me squeezing an order through caught someone's eye or something.

I spent the extra $50 for Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2s over the Stealth 600 Gen 2 just because they don't have that atrocious green accent everywhere. They're just black w/ silver, they sound great and since they can pair with a bluetooth source as well as the Xbox I've started using them for work too.

I still use 10 year old Astro A40s that plug in. the microphone jack has gone from 'up' to 'talking position' so many times that the pin in the jack has worn a groove in the 3.5mm tip on the microphone in a 90 degree arc. these things are so god drat good and I will be sad when something finally give out since they are the original version and none of the spare parts available for the current A40s are compatible with them.

I'm looking to get PC Game pass for 3 friends of mine so we can play stuff like Golf With Friends together. I'm going with PC Game pass because they each have Windows 10 PC that can handle the more indie games, but I think only one has a console. But they need Gold as well, right, to make sure we can play multiplayer on PC with games that use XBL as their multiplayer implementation? Does that conversion thing still work? I think the one with the console might have Gold, so I thought I would look into that. Also, I'm assuming the ones with no prior XBL account should sign up for the $1 trial first, before I give them a redeem code. This is all probably more complicated than it should be.

I tried explaining how to jump through all those hoops for a friend's "gamer" brother in law. The glass eyed look when I got to "VPN" was enough to tell me they were going to continue paying for Gold monthly. My friend just gave me her log in credentials and I did it for her. Though US annual gold passes were the same price as the cheaper regions, so I didn't have to VPN to Brazil.silence_kit posted:I don't know how to help you, but I just wanted to post that Golf With Friends is so much fun.

So my TV can 120hz @ 1440p or 60hz at 4k. Which is generally considered to be the better experience? Does 120hz make a difference if the game isn't 120fps?
|
# ? Mar 4, 2021 21:24 |

Few games will have 120hz support, and that's something you'll be choosing from within the game. It's up to you if you prefer video quality or frame rate, and will probably vary between games.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Does 120hz make a difference if the game isn't 120fps? None. At most it'll make sure you always have 60 full frames displaying on your screen as playing at a higher resolution might dip down into the low 50's for a few seconds depending on whats happening though this isn't likely to happen much.

You don't need gold if you're only playing on PC (even for play anywhere games that are also on consoles). Only console players need it for multiplayer.

Remember if you claim a GWG game it's yours for as long as you still have Gold (or GPU).

if you care about sports gamez do yourself a favor and don't bother with 2K21. the people who buy this poo poo at retail price are the biggest rubes lol. terrible on-ball defense, the AI can't do simple things like set screens or run pick and rolls or play help in the paint. it's easily one of the worst "AAA" sports titles i've ever played. Madden 21 isn't bad I guess I'm just terrible at Madden

yea 2k is the worst sports series on earth. Usually if you only play play now mode with normal teams vs a friend its ok but everything else is trash. I heard Gamepass will only have the XB1 version too.
