Real hurthling! posted:Ori is good Sunset Overdrive has been my favourite GwG so far. Takes a bit of practice to master the parkour system, but when you do it feels awesome. I even found myself using it to travel after I had unlocked fast travel. I actually enjoyed Dead Rising 3 but maybe because I played it co-op. I don't think it'd hold up well as a single player, since it's lacking alot of the things that made 1 & 2 great.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:It's great to see the Xbox thread is full of joy and hardly any talk about "just get it on PC, bro," and other arguments that sound like vinyl-only audiophiles but for video games. I'm not sure what you call those people anyway, because that kind of nonsense is absent from these forums and not a thing that happens.  Personally I have an Xbone, a Lenovo Y50 for gaming and a Macbook Pro for everything else. They all have upsides & downsides and I don't need a 60fps graphics nazi to tell me that. I just don't care.I prefer the convenience of gaming on the Xbox and have a huge backlog for it thanks to GwG freebies. I just use the PC for RTS games, co-op games with my PC-only friends and random Steam games.

I thing Gamepass is only worth it if you're really into indie games and have missed all the GwG's up to this point, since alot of those titles feature in that list.

Blind Rasputin posted:Anyone picking up anything in the spring sale? Dishonored Death of the Outsider is half off. I am liking it so far even though I’m kind of burnt permanently out on dishonored. You can use void magic to tear off a person’s face and wear it in this one, which is cool. I picked up Titanfall 2 a couple of weeks ago on the sale for like $5. Campaign was fantastic and I found that the multiplayer is still active too (but is still a bit CoD'ish for my tastes). Quite an underrated game imo.

I've been playing through my backlog and just finished Far Cry 4 (XB1 port). Even though it seemed a little dated, the gameplay was a real blast and the different endings, foreshadowing and twists in the story were interesting. The weapon progression kept things fresh to. I went from being stealthy with a bow & arrow to blowing everything up with a loadout of rocket & grenade launchers, Buzzsaw machine-gun and silenced sniper rifle.  Real hurthling! posted:Is live being weird for anyone rn? The website says its all up but my console is having big problems staying signed in and looking at/downloading store items There's an Xbox Live Free Play Days for All event going on right now until 17th May where multiplayer is open for everyone, so it could be that.

Eh the UI is fine to me. I can play the game I want to in under 5 seconds thanks to Recent Games and Pins, so who cares. It used to be ALOT worse during the Windows 8 era. Scroll over to the Community tab if you want to see how the entire UI used to look.

Now we don't use rest at all which is a shame they haven't fixed that yet. Rest mode can also glitch achievements too, causing them to not unlock. Makes me wonder if it has some kind of inherent memory leak issue going on.

Just finished The Turing test from my GWG backlog. It's a pretty cool indie puzzle game that gave me Portal vibes with its similar 'rogue AI' kind of plot and sci-fi setting. Instead of a portal gun though you carry a gun that can manipulate these power orbs to open doors, raise platforms etc. The same dev made another GWG puzzle game Pneuma: Breath of Life, but I found it to be much better than that one.

Real hurthling! posted:Phil said the hardware team is already deep in the process of development on the next xbox consoles Not to mention they purchased a whole bunch of game studios to put exclusives on them. I think Microsoft will have a much better showing when next gen comes around but I can't see them beating a Playstation 5 unless history repeats and there's another PS3-esque pricing fiasco, where the PS3 ended up $200 more than the entry-level Xbox 360.

TheScott2K posted:I could absolutely see Sony getting cocky and greedy after running the table like after PS2 It's possible. But unlike previous gens, the next generation systems will likely have virtually identical stats (something along the lines of AMD Ryzen CPU, 16GB GDDR5, 2TB HDD w/ SSD 'Pro' option) so the price difference will be minimal. Microsoft playing catchup might still undercut PS5's price by a fraction. What will be interesting to see is whether Microsoft releases their system a year before the PS5 like they did with the 360 to make back ground on Sony's established PS2 lead (resulting in a lead but also the red rings of death). Edit: I think we'll see Xbox V (the One X is the 4th box you see  ) in 2020 and PS5 in 2021

Another interesting thing about the Subor Z+ is that it'll have both Windows 10 (PC mode) and Windows 10 (console mode) and that it will use GDDR5 for the CPU rather than DDR4.

I've been playing ONRUSH which is free to play this weekend. It's kind of like a team-based demolition derby with a few different game modes and vehicles with different abilities. It's pretty fun for a free game but kind of lacks in any substance to consider paying anything for it. Apparently it runs in 60fps on the One X though which is cool I guess.

BisterdDave posted:I came across this shortly after asking, and I just assumed the newest games were shown at the top. Thanks for the battery recommendations everyone. I haven't played the previous ones, but Forza Horizon 3 is superb and definitely one of my favourites on the system. It's open world and definitely arcadey enough. The reward system and constant positive reinforcement the game gives you will make you feel good, even if you've had a lovely day.  I didn't mind Sunset Overdrive which I got for free in GwG awhile back. It can take some practice to play properly because you have to be able to combo parkour moves together while shooting enemies, or your weapons won't be as effective. Visually it's nice but the gameplay can get a bit repetitive and a lot of the fourth wall jokes fall flat. Also the multiplayer is pretty dead so I'd only buy it if I could get it cheap. Edit: also I've been using the same Play and Charge kit for like four years now and it's still going strong, so I can recommend that too.

Blind Rasputin posted:Anyone with opinions on Life is Strange? My fiancé doesn’t play games but she and I were browsing the store and she thought it looked interesting. I played through it a couple of months ago after picking it up the complete season on sale for like AU$6 and really enjoyed it, but I probably wouldn't pay much more than I did for it since there's not much gameplay and the graphics look outdated. Other than that, the characters are great and the storyline is interesting with multiple endings and plot twists (make sure to avoid spoilers!). Like Telltale games you get a report card on how your choices stacked up against other players at the end of each episode too which is neat.

But in a world full of actual disgusting scams that prey on the poor, this doesn't seem offensive at all, even if a theoretical price drop is a thing. Everything about it seems fair enough. Phil Spencer is making all the right moves and doesn't seem to let the corporate suits push him around like Don Mattrick probably did (and look how that turned out). He probably told them to shove their profiteering if they want the Xbox division to succeed next gen. Same goes for the Xbox adaptive controller: https://www.cnet.com/news/microsofts-new-xbox-adaptive-controller-puts-disabled-players-back-in-the-game/ which is so niche that they could've gouged it but chose to keep it at $99.

There's always fine print and catch 22 to this that is hidden away. 2 year contracts with phones are always predatory and just a lease/loan on the phone, this is not going to be any different. Or you know, maybe they just want more people in the Xbox ecosystem and have provided a way to do so safely for those with good credit but not much cash on hand?  You're acting like Microsoft are some exploitative two-bit rental operation hiding 30% interest in the fine print.

Not sure about the main character and the amount of micro managing they're teasing looks tedious. And there's no way they'll be able to add new content every other month to online like they do with GTA due to the time period. I played the poo poo out of San Andreas Multiplayer mod (SA:MP) on the goon server but never got into GTA online because of the endless load screens. Personally I'm hoping they make Bully 2 next.
