I'm considering buying an xb1x, but I'm confused about a lot of MS' weird policies. Does this new 'all games on xbox and pc' thing mean I'll be playing against people using mouse-aim? That sounds like a nightmare.

Real hurthling! posted:Iirc some games ask console owners to opt into crossplay. The opt in thing is cool, the m&kb support not so much. I play on console because I want to lay back in my recliner and chill out. I don't want to have to use some weird setup where I'm sitting behind a hospital tray. Hopefully they still allow you to opt out. edit: guess it doesn't really matter since console users will be on kb&m too. HoneyBakedMAN fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Jul 25, 2018 |

I think I'll buy an xb1x tomorrow and start off with Master Chief collection and GoW remaster. Can someone detail what exactly is included with these? It's hard to tell from googling.

I wanted to play the collections to catch up with series before playing the new ones. I guess the story doesn't really matter for these games though so I'll just get the new ones.

RBX posted:The stories kinda do matter, without them they lose any feeling they have. Would buying MC and the 360 versions of Gears 1-3 be the way to go? Do the unnumbered games matter? To those acting like I'm an idiot for buying an expensive console to play old games: Don't worry, I'll get plenty of new games. I just thought this would be a good way to get into MS' major franchises.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:I retract best selling xbox, got bad info somewhere, but my PC gaming experience was filled with empty lobbies in games where you'd never see empty lobbies on any console. I'm not sure where you are finding empty lobbies on PC, but popular games are doing very well and it's easy to find games. Unpopular games have low player count on xbox/playstation as well.

RBX posted:He's confused why COD 43 and NBA 2K29 aren't the top of steam. Console online games peaked around that Era. They really died when party chat was solidified and everybody ran away never to socialize with anybody outside of their bubble ever again. Half the fun of games like Halo were the random funny moments and actually being able to talk to the enemy team. Console games had real communities back then. Yeah, that sucks. My favorite gaming memories were talking with strangers in Counter Strike and forming strategies. Now it's just random chaos that gets old after an hour or so.

I'm looking at buying an xb1 media remote and see that it requires line of sight. My xb1x is behind a glass enclosure. Will that gently caress things up?

What's up with these system updates? It downloaded super fast but then it took like an hour to verify (whatever the hell that means). Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but annoying when I want to play.

Can we all agree that people considering payment plans on consoles probably shouldn't be buying consoles? Edit: same with fancy new phones, but that's another thread.

LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:Yeah, someone should write those poors a letter telling them what system to buy this upcoming holiday. Sorry if it came across as mocking poor people. It's just in my experience people who use payment plans or loans to purchase luxury items are almost always making terrible financial decisions in the end. I'm sure this does make financial sense to people who use it responsibly.

veni veni veni posted:It's good for a college kid or teenager or just someone who can't afford to buy a system and a bunch of games. And the price isn't even predatory so I don't get the cynicism from people. If it worked out to twice the price over time or something I'd be all in on bashing it but it works out pretty much 1:1 if you don't take into account hunting for deals, which I think is fair. I think it's a good idea tbh even if I have no interest in it at all personally. It's not a bad deal on paper. I just don't like these sort of deals in general because they prey on people who want something but can't afford it.

veni veni veni posted:If it was preying on people the price would work out to more than you would pay for (not hypothetical sale price obviously) retail in the end. Which is almost always how those deals work. Rent to own, Payday loans etc. all of that poo poo is predatory. This is not because all it does is spread out to cost. poo poo, it even lets you back out of it if you pay off the system. There is nothing about it that is predatory, it just gives people more options. "Prey" was the wrong word. What I mean is that these kind of deals confuse idiots who are bad with budgeting. Like I said, I think it's a fine deal for responsible people.

After I finish the single player games I'm working on now, I'll share my GT with other goons so I can reliably play with people older than 10. I just bought my xb1x so there's a lot of sp stuff I want to catch up on before diving into online.

Xbox Ambassador posted:Thank you I'm back from my business trip and I've been watching Walking Dead season 8 on my XB1X on a 1080p plasma and the image quality seems insane compared to my OG PS4. does it do supersampling or something? To Xbox Ambassador: I have to make another trip because my mom broke her arm. Shouldn't take long. I still plan on hooking up for some online goodness. 2 questions: 1. What are the top games you guy's play? 2. Should I buy a headset to communicate?

univbee posted:Weird, how are you watching it, streaming? It could be pulling a higher bitrate stream but there isn’t explicitly a hardware reason with the X where that would be the case; every device which can stream at 1080p should essentially give you identical results if they’re setup correctly (i.e. not streaming at a lower res due to settings) Yeah, I'm watching it on Netflix. I thought maybe some newer shows streamed at over 1080p or something. Could just be a subconscious thing.

I wasn't expecting new game announcements or anything crazy and I thought the show was fine, but what the gently caress was up with those maniacs in the crowd? I would have applauded during the beginning/end and after the Obsidian and InXile announcements, but these weirdos were going bat-poo poo insane and jumping up and down after every sentence. I can only assume these guys were paid shills. Anyway, I'm really excited about what all these new studios can do with MS' backing.

I'm really loving my xb1x but I agree with others who say the UI is trash. I had an OG PS4 before getting this and the UI is so much slicker and more intuitive.

I've been having the most annoying issue with my xb1x for the past week. The hardware works fine, but anytime I try to watch Netflix or do anything else that requires internet it just tells me to gently caress off. Nextflix and other stuff worked fine before this. It also works fine on my other connected devices. I went through every menu and submenu and also spent an hour or two banging my head against the lovely automated help system. Anyone know how to contact an actual person or have any other suggestions?

Blind Rasputin posted:Is it giving the error “try again in a minute or so..” if so you should hard reset your router, and hard reset your Xbox by holding the front button down until it powers off. Restart both. Usually that clears what I only imagine is a cache or memory error and things should work again. If not that, you might try direct cat5 cable to your router instead of WiFi. I dunno, your post is asking for help but seems to be using colorful metaphors instead of any real descriptors that might allow us to figure out what problem you’re actually having. Seems like self-ownage almost akin to buying an Xbox in the first place. Your device may not be connected to the internet. Please make sure your connection is working. code: N4-1-19 I've tried hard reseting the modem and system. There's little else I could find from googling and contacting support. No way am I stringing more cables around my apartment. It's weird because I've been using this a long time with no problem but suddenly it shits the bed over the last week or so.

univbee posted:A bit of a shot-in-the-dark guess but maybe someone moved into your apartment complex and has their own Wi-Fi equipment creating interference that's loving with the stability of your connection. Can you try changing your Wi-Fi channel and then flushing your XB1's Wi-Fi profile and reconnecting? That's a distinct possibility. Anyway I fixed it after randomly loving around with every menu on my xbox. When in doubt, just gently caress until you either fix it or gently caress it up worse. That's my motto.
