    Xbox One - Who else was a Diamond member back in the day?

    Who else was a Diamond member back in the day?

    After 6 years of almost daily use this little guy finally gave out on me. Unfortunately enough it looks like they’re discontinued now.

    Xbox One is about to end it's life cycle, and is probably the first mainstream disc based console not to be hackable.

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 05:15 PM PDT

    This is not a pro piracy post! More like an appreciation post; as far as I know, the Xbox one is the first console not being able to be hacked in order to play pirated games in any way. Obviously only counting disc based or modern consoles.

    PS4 on early firmware versions can play pirate games. PS360, Xbox OG, Ps2, GCN, Wii, WiiU, Switch, all of Sony's and Nintendo's portables are easily hackable.

    The closes thing to that on Xbox One is Sea of Thieves.

    Playing Xbox Game Pass through xCloud feels like a next-generation experience

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 12:31 PM PDT

    Converted my boyfriend from PS to Xbox but we only had one controller. Here's my congratulations (on a job) second controller and first faceplate kit. I love it so much!

    THQNordic doesn’t seem to get much love for taking the THQ name. But I’m glad someone is keeping the mid sized AA games alive. Darksiders 3 and Genesis are tons of fun, both on Gamepass!

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 07:45 PM PDT

    I never played a Darksiders game but my wife and I were looking to fill the void of couch coop after Minecraft dungeons so we tried Genesis and it's a total blast! It doesn't have leveling or gear drops like a Diablo clone but there's upgrades that involve some customizing. The best part is the gameplay is smooth and solid, and lots of extra things to explore in levels to find. Also a number of difficulty settings to fit your play style.

    I then noticed Darksiders 3 was on Gamepass and thought to just download it, having earned good will with the prior Genesis and I have to say it's scratching that 360 era hack and slash itch. Does it have the best production values ever? No, but it's oddly humorous and the gameplay is really solid! I feel I'm close to the end after about 16 hours which feels perfect length to me!

    As someone who enjoys the big budget games (last of us 2 was fantastic) but is tired of the gameplay tropes of Giant open worlds almost every AAA game being a 80 hour commitment I really enjoyed these. I honestly think I'm having more fun than with my copy of Ghost of Tushimo which has fantastic production values but is that same AAA formula of let's throw the kitchen sink approach and make you do the same thing for 60 hours. May even buy the Destroy all humans remake from THQ to relive my early 20s playing that game rented from blockbuster!

    This list is located on Microsofts website. Scroll all the way to the bottom on the link above to see the table.

    Microsoft also states that they will update the list as more developers and publishers inform them of games that will be optimized and to what level.

    Why doesn’t auto update actually work?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 06:36 AM PDT

    With this absolutely ridiculous hog of a game, Call of Duty, with it's insane 66-70gb updates, all of my friends have tried with auto update, and none of us can get it to work. We have all of the models even, original, S, and X. I'm fairly competent with electronics. I'm an engineer and lifelong console nerd. I know for a fact that I have the correct settings. Power mode is Instant-on, Updates & Downloads have both Keep my console up to date (no problem with that one...) and Keep my games up to date. I have enough space for these downloads before they happen, too.

    Is there anything I'm missing? I've been on the forums and seems like some people are having different experiences. I'd like to solve this before some of my shorter fused friends hardware reset their Xbox with the pavement.

    Three Months Before Next-Gen Release, Microsoft is Pushing Value and Choice [Opinion]

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 01:14 PM PDT

    TL;DR

    Microsoft is giving gamers so much choice and value it's ridiculous.

    Forward Compat, Back Compat, Xbox Game Pass, xCloud included in Game Pass Ultimate (at no additional charge), and every single Xbox Game Studio is hard at work making new games for next-gen and Game Pass.

    Heck you do even need to own an Xbox console to participate. PC player, sure. Mobile player, you're welcome here. Want to do it the old fashion way and just buy games the game you want! and nothing else, you can come too.

    Note on Forward Compat, all some of Microsoft Xbox Game Studio games that are being released over the next year will also work on Xbox One.

    Value

    Xbox One Generation (One, One S, One X)

    For those of you who do not upgrade to the next-gen console right away (through financial or personal decision), you will still have the opportunity to play all some of Microsoft Xbox Game Studio game that are being released over the next year.

    Xbox Game Pass

    Games Pass remains an incredible value of $10 a month. Access to 100+ games, including all of Microsoft exclusive titles day one. You will not get AAA 3rd party titles (for a long time), so if you exclusively game that specific category, read up prior to subscribing. Otherwise, the service is stocked full of great games and excellent value.

    Want to learn more, here you go ...
    techradar, "Xbox Game Pass has set a new standard for value in this console generation, and is now arguably essential for players on both [Xbox] and PC as a subscription service for Xbox games new and old."
    pcmag "there's no bargain more compelling than Xbox Game Pass"

    WAIT!!! When will Microsoft Increase the Price to Xbox Game Pass?!!!
    I fully expect Microsoft to one day (2021, 2022, etc) raise the 10$/mth price of Xbox Game Pass. Until they do (and possible even after), the service is one of the best values in gaming. For the time being, Phil Spencer has gone on record saying Xbox Game Pass as a business is sustainable (source gamerant)

    Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

    You don't need a console any longer $15/month. Everything in Game Pass for console, plus Game Pass for PC, plus xCloud and Xbox Live Gold. You could game next gen without ever owning a console. Though it's unanimous that local play is superior is all regards, so read up before deciding to play exclusively via xCloud-streaming.

    Studios Hard at Work to Add More Value

    Doubling down on the already great value Xbox Game Pass represents, every Microsoft game studio is currently working on "next-generation games for Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass". (source gamesradar (via Microsoft Blog Post))

    Back Compat

    There used to be a time when this was the first point to be made regarding value. The effort Microsoft has put forth making so many games backward compatible remains one of the best heartfelt/goodwill stories this last generation. All without asking for any money from gamers. And they continue to hold that torch as we approach next-gen. I ❤ Xbox Back Compat.

    Choice

    - Choose How to Buy

    (a) subscribe to Xbox Game Pass (download and play locally, no streaming required)
    (b) purchase games individually (how it's been down for decades)

    - Choose How to Play

    (a) buy the newest console (Series X, Series S) cool!
    (b) keep the old one for another year-or-two (you'll still get all some of Microsoft's new games)
    (c) pass up consoles altogether and play on PC
    (d) play via xCloud on PC or mobile (via xCloud)

    The biggest offense (if you can even call it that) Microsoft is committing by giving players this much choice is that Xbox Game Studio games need to work cross generations (next-gen and last-gen) for the first year or two. OK, NBD. If that really bothers you, then you can choose to stay with Xbox One generation for another year. Or whatever other options you think are best for you.

    The second biggest offense is Microsoft has loosened its original stance from ALL to SOME. Originally all Xbox Game Studio's released over the next two years were supposed to play on Xbox Series and Xbox One generations. That seems to no longer is the case (source The Verge, source Aaron Greenberg (via Twitter))

    Gamepad's AA batteries are a blast!

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 03:56 PM PDT

    Before buying xbox one, I was angry with the batteries. The reason was some weird comments of ignorant people complaining about the batteries. I bought a pair of eneloop AA batteries and battery charger and basically the charger is almost useless. I forget to recharge them, they last many many days! :)

    Well done Microsoft for not choosing a battery that cannot be replaced. AA batteries are the best choice you could make.

    Is red faction 2 not free with games with gold?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 05:38 AM PDT

    Unfortunate if it isnt. Says $20 AU, which I'm assuming is Australia and I'm not even from Australia. This was one of my favorite games to play way back when I was younger with my cousins.

    XCOM 2 - collection or base?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 04:47 PM PDT

    Never played an Xcom game and since Gears Tactics is who knows how far away thinking of picking this up. I can get on special currently the base XCOM 2 for $20 or the collection pack for $37 (NZD). I've heard one of the expansions in the collection makes the base experience heaps better but unsure how or if it's worth the extra cost.

    So apparently the newer Minecraft still has the mini game part in the description even though it doesn't have the mini games that the Xbox One Edition has.
