Xbox shadow dropped a masterpiece
I like it a lot, it’s old school.
 
Has anyone downloaded Age of Empires Definitive for Xbox? If so, how did you turn off the accessibility narrator?
 
Question, I wanna purchase PES 2021 for Series S but have to do it by purchasing an account which already has the game since it's no longer available on the Microsoft store. The only PES game on the MS Store is eFootball 2023 which is online exhibition only or something right now with like 7 teams.

I apparently have to set the account I purchase as my home console. I don't travel or anything with my XBox but can this cause me any potential problems? My own account is currently set as the home console account or whatever.
 
Currently on the Microsoft store they have the combo pack of PGA 2k23 & NBA 2k23 for 34.99 USD, not a bad deal for those two
The PGA game is REALLY fun. They re-did the majority of the mechanics and cosmetics.

The official battery pack has a 30 hour battery and is around $30, you can recharge it by just plugging in the controller

theres not an easy way to sort next gen games, it'll have an "optimized for series S/X" on the game page if it is but as far as I know its not easy to tell just flipping through games on gamepass.

Or if you mean buying games I'm not sure. Tbh the xbox store is genuinely horrible for buying games.
That’s one of my gripes with their game store is their filtering. It’s like they just threw it together at the last minute.

The swing tempo and swing path feedback system are excellent. I hadn't really played any golf games since some of old Tiger Woods games that didn't have it, until I played 2k1. It really add complexity and an ever-present threat of a disastrous swing to the game.
 
Playing atomic heart on PC, I had heard there was some performance problems, runs like a dream on low end hardware, way better than it should for its visuals. Mustve got a day 1 patch

60-80 fps on high settings, 120-140 fps on low. Looks fantastic.

I was wondering where I recognized the voice, the protagonists voice is the male voice of V in Cyberpunk

also, i ran into this glitch, closing the game fixed it



I feel like I should be playing this one with the Russian audio

I'll be honest, I instantly downrate any fps game with a dash button. Im so sick of it. Its rough on the eyes and really shouldnt be necessary if the shooting is finetuned.

I read something about that causing all the menus going to Russian too. Not sure if it's been patched already.
 
i didnt realize it but apparently atomic heart was one of the earliest announced raytracing titles back in 2018. Despite that it doesnt have it at all at launch.
 
My Game Pass runs out in 12 days

I’m planning on loading up for 3 years (I’m in Canada). CDkeys has $16.59 for 3 months, $64.99 for one year.

Does anyone know if there’s still the option for each code to turn on auto-renewal for an extra month? If so, makes the 3 months cheaper.

Or anyone have any better suggestions/deals?

I stocked up on a couple codes I got with hardware purchases back in January, and the auto-renew for an extra month option was still available then.

I think your method is the best unless you can get codes packaged in with stuff you were going to buy anyway :)

The controls in Atomic Hearts is so stupid.

Whoever thought the select button should be the same button as the reload function should be fired. Countless times i have wasted a f***ing med pack cause of it.
