univbee posted:Why compromise when a PS4 has all the Xbox games and a boatload of major exclusives, of the anime and non-anime (e.g. Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nioh) type? Because the PS4 controller is awful. I have both and the only games I ever play on my PS4 are Uncharted and Horizon.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:The lack of good headset options is still bothering me though. Seems like Turtle Beach 800x is the best but they are obscenely expensive, and it's Turtle Beach. I have those and they're great, other than the weird method they have for adjusting your mic's volume. There's only four volume levels and they're named after how loud the ambient noise in your room is. I don't know if they're worth the money but they sound better than my actual 5.1 speakers. Cojawfee posted:I don't understand why people want that. The original xbox controller was terrible. I'm surprised Microsoft was able to get it right with the 360 controller. They got it right with the smaller Japanese version they started including with every system worldwide after everyone hated the Duke.

The controller that came with my S creaks quite a bit, maybe because I use it too much. The one that came with my Oculus Rift doesn't creak at all, but I've put maybe 5 hours on it since I got it.

spasticColon posted:I'll just wait for the PS5 then. I want a console or gaming PC that can run games at 4K60 without having to break the bank but that's probably at least three years away. I would get a GTX1080Ti but that's a $700+ video card and my six year old CPU would bottleneck it. Lol if you think PS5 won't individually render every single hair of Drake's stubble and still run at 30fps.

Best buy never sent the PUBG download code that was supposed to come with my Bonx, then customer service said they'd resend it and they never did. I don't even care at this point, I probably would have just given it away.

FC5 is great in that it has a fantastic setting and pretty much no plot. Video game stories are universally terrible so that's about the best you can hope for.

I loved it except for the huge difficulty spikes where the only way to get to a fast travel point back to enemies you can handle is through a bunch of ones you can only plink at like you're shooting spitwads. I never got around to finishing it.

Beastie posted:I was obsessively manipulating my Bravia's picture settings for my One X for weeks until I caved and set picture mode to Auto and it's 1000 times better. People complain about TV default settings on the internet endlessly so I spent close to an hour meticulously going through a calibration test and ended up with settings that were very slightly different than the defaults. I think all I ended up doing was setting the color temperature to neutral and changing the contrast from 100 to 98.

I kinda skipped out on 15 years of racing games but I've been playing Horizon 2 and it rules. I also tried Forza 5 when it was free and it sucked rear end. Those are my opinions on the free Forza games.

punk rebel ecks posted:I mean to further establish what I mean, a game on the Xbox One X has to be designed to work well with the Xbox One. So while things like resolution and framerates can be improved, developers can't do something like say take out a setpiece that didn't work on the Xbox One, but add in for Xbox One X players. They're not allowed to do that.

I installed a 500GB internal SSD in my X and it's pretty good, but not as fast as my PC with a similar drive on the same game (Destiny 2). Either the CPU just isn't able to pull files off it fast enough, or the game isn't optimized for it. And in multiplayer you'll still have to wait for everyone else to load in. It's a nice upgrade and well worth the price, but isn't a night and day difference.

Doesn't "blockchain based" just mean that everyone's computer or Xbox or some poo poo is keeping track of everyone else's gamerscore? Cryptocurrency in general was just a PC gamer nerd version of all the incredibly complex bullshit Wall Street thought up to make money without doing anything because the government couldn't understand it in order to know how to regulate it until it was too late.

If I had to guess I'd say Microsoft had a certain amount of system resources reserved for the UI, then when they learned how much more powerful the PS4 was going to be in comparison, they reduced it to allow more for games. The update that brought over a lot of Windows 10 code helped a little but it's still laggy, even on my X with an SSD.

Beastie posted:I think it kind of depends on your TV. I turned off HDR10 on Xbox and it looked blown out. It's one of my biggest gripes about HDR that every game seemingly needs to be tweaked. It's a mess because with SDR, it was generally agreed upon that content would be mastered for a brightness level of 100 nits because that's roughly what a CRT could display. But the brightness levels of HDR TVs vary wildly and there's no consensus on where the baseline should be.

I'm just pissed that since I didn't get it until after Mad Catz went out of business, I can't get my drum kit replaced even though it was broken out of the box. And prices for used ones are completely ridiculous.

Fanatic posted:I recently upgraded to One X (been mostly playing RDR2 and BF5 so I've been posting in those threads) from my 2013 OG Bone and the graphics & fps improvements for the enhanced games are so worth it. Gives me high hopes for next gen because those two games almost look like a next gen leap. Let's not pretend that the PS4 UI is great either. You can't re-arrange anything and it sticks you with a bunch of icons you'll never use but can't remove. I don't have enough games to be making folders and poo poo, I just want the 4 or 5 games that I own to be at the front, in the order in which I'm likeliest to want to play them, and you can't do that like you can on Xbox.

I mean I can see if someone is like a famous twitch streamer not wanting to be inundated with nonstop invites, that's what the 'friends only' setting is for, but they let you just be completely invisible to everyone which doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than to frustrate your friends waiting to see if you're gonna show up when you said you would.
