Microsoft Xbox Discussion Part II

[Dolemite]

Haven’t played it in years. Having a blast with it right now. Some of my buddies took a break from COD to play it.

I played it when it first came out on PS4. Got a triumph for making it to the last 10 without firing a shot in my first game.

GamePass up to 25M subs.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Wow Deaths Door now to GP. Wild month for Gamepass.

What a terrible company MS is giving us all these games for a monthly fee.

 

[JaegerDice]

So, uh, big news.

So, uh, big news.

After years of getting shit on in the forum for supporting Xbox, it's nice to see some progress. I really think people are making a bigger deal out of it than it will end up being.

Owning a Series X has been such a wild ride the last year and a half. Whew

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Well at least Microsoft has given me reasons to play the console now lol

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

That’s crazy…I own the first 2 games and was debating if I should get the 3rd. I decided not to because I haven’t really completed much of the first 2 and I’d only be getting it for the story/new experience of seeing the levels for the first time. It’s perfect for me now. Game Pass is without a doubt the best value in gaming. Especially with the conversion trick, you can play dozens of AAA quality games for the price of 1 every year

Gonna give the Hitman series a go. Deaths Door is fantastic, btw. Bought it in July.

Indeed. They've still got problems to solve like its horrible video capture, not allowing 3rd party gaming items to be used, and a supposed elite controller that doesn't have a screen/video capture button...among other things.

Hitman 3 is FUUUUUUUUUN.

I’m confused how to access Hitman 1. It’s downloaded as an add-on, but the menu has training or Hitman 3 campaign.

 

[Jovavic]

I'd like a controller that is more PS like in regards to the L and R buttons, specifically the bumpers. The difference in the locations of the sticks doesn't bother me at all but those bumpers...

The Netflix of video games.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Anyone know how to import progress from Hitman 2 without an IOI account? Im trying to make one but the confirmation email doesn’t get sent

I just bought the Xbox series S, what are the best games to download on the ultimate game pass? I've already downloaded the ones I recognize GTA SA, Battlefield, fifa, NHL, etc.

if you want a game perfectly tuned to Series S Gears 5 is your game. Also, MK11 looks stunning on everything. Great story mode too even if you're not a multiplayer guy. Forza 5 looks great too.

Halo infinite sadly doesn't look good on Series, although it doesn't even look that good maxed out on PC so that's not surprising.

Can't really think of anything that really puts the Series S to max use.

Jedi Fallen Order got a really good series S upgrade. Annoyingly it got the update right after I beat the game playing it in 720p Xbox one S mode. Super Lucky's Tale is a 4k60fps game on series S that looks very good but it's just a kiddie platformer. Hmm I'd need to chew on that question.

 

[Jovavic]

Don't know if The Medium is still on GP but it's worth a play if you like the genre, got some nice visuals too

Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite to start. GTA is Buggy AF. The rest are older versions of those series.

Now that it's on Gamepass, was thinking of playing The Evil Within.

Obviously it's basically 'free', so I'm not worried about wasting money. More about wasting time.

Anybody played it? Worth the time?

Forza 5
Halo Infinite Campaign
Destiny 2

Forza 5
Halo Infinite Campaign
Destiny 2

Destiny 2 looks like a PS3 game and halo infinite looks worse on Series S than One X.

Jmo.

60 fps on halo is nice for the multiplayer though.

Use the FOV slider.

As someone who rarely dives into horror ish games, I liked it
