    Xbox One - The /r/XboxOne Game Of The Year 2020 & And Game Of The Generation awards - RESULTS!


    The /r/XboxOne Game Of The Year 2020 & And Game Of The Generation awards - RESULTS!

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 06:18 AM PST

    Season's greetings /r/XboxOne & Welcome to the Game of the Year & Game of the Generation awards!

    As always - The votes have been counted correctly, altered based on my own personal bias and edited to reflect the juicy bribes I received in PC review codes, PS5 Pre-orders and Cyberpunk hotfix patches.

    Each winner has been given a prestigious and totally not imaginary /r/XboxOne exclusive "award", and are celebrated below.

    As a heads up - By their very nature, these awards will contain mild spoilers. You have been warned


    BEST SHOOTER

    DOOM ETERNAL

    "None could stand before the CoD but the Doom Slayer.

    Despair spread before him like a plague, striking fear into the corner campers, driving them into deeper and darker public matches. But from the depths of the abyss rose The Great One, a champion mightier than all who had come before. The Warzone, a BR of immeasurable power and ferocity. He strode upon the skill-based matchmaking and faced the Doom Slayer, and a mighty battle was fought on the desolate plains.

    The Warzone fought with the fury of the countless shooters that had fallen at the Doom Slayer's hand, but there fell the Warzone, and in his defeat, the CoD players were routed."


    BEST RPG

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Sup chooms? The launch of this game may have been far from preem, but you'd have to be a total gonk to deny that the world-building, storytelling, characters and RPG systems in Cyberpunk 2077 are anything short of nova. If you haven't yet, make sure you give the game a chance once the CDPR netrunners work the daemons out of the system.


    BEST ACTION/ADVENTURE

    Assassins Creed: Valhalla

    The Assassins Creed games have the act of both adventuring and actioning down to a science, so it is no big shock that the addition of Vikings, beards and church burning was all the seasoning their recipe needed for its success once more.


    BEST SOUNDTRACK

    DOOM ETERNAL

    [HEAVY METAL INTENSIFIES] Mick Gordon, the god of gaming metal, returns once more to soothe and caress our eardrums with slamming riffs, distorted synths, pounding blast beats and even a heavy metal choir. Nothing more zen and relaxing to listen to while tearing demons in half with your bare hands. Wimps and posers leave the hall.


    BEST NARRATIVE

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Panam best girl.


    BEST SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE

    DOOM ETERNAL

    Rip and tear, until it is displayed on your trophy case. This was seemingly the mantra of ID and Bethesda this year. Despite hosting a fun multiplayer mode, the real reason people flocked to DOOM ETERNAL was to test themselves against the demons of hell, alone.


    BEST MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE

    Call of Duty: Warzone

    TFW the closest competition for Call of Duty is the other Call of Duty (Someone post the pointing Spiderman meme). A fantastic F2P battle royale game in the CoD universe exploded onto the scene and allowed everyone to play, compete and make baseless assumptions about their mothers together at a time when we are mostly stuck inside. Other than CoD: Cold War, no other game came close.


    BEST SPORTS GAME

    Golf With Your Friends

    THE KING HAS FALLEN! For the first time in 7 years, FIFA has NOT been voted sports game of the year. The greatest turnaround possible for the end of a generation! And what did it take to dethrone the mightiest of kings? Blacklight Interactive - A 3 person indie studio from Brisbane, Australia, with a silly game about golf. Somewhere, a monkey paw just curled a finger...


    BEST DRIVING/RACING GAME

    Dirt 5

    Forza really doing the rest of the racing game industry a solid these last 2 years by not releasing a game. Jokes aside, Dirt 5 is a well crafted and gorgeous looking sequel to a well-established franchise and their award was cleaned up with a very large majority vote. Well done!


    BEST PLATFORMER

    Ori and the will of the wisps

    Ori is a feels filled, hauntingly beautiful, and mechanically tight Metroidvania type platformer that is both punishingly difficult and satisfyingly rewarding. Sporting beautiful music and arguably the best 2D artwork ever seen in a game, Ori swings, shoots and dash jumps into the lead by a country mile. Also, he is just an adorable little glowy boi.


    BEST HORROR GAME

    Resident Evil 3

    Capcom, here's another GOTY award. It might come in handy if you, the master of remastering, take it with you... Again...


    THE "SHOULD HAVE BEEN DELAYED" AWARD

    Cyberpunk 2077

    A choom walks into a bar.

    The bartender is t-posing 4 feet in the air to assert dominance over his patrons. The choom walks over to the bartender to talk, but the conversation box won't appear. He turns to leave and the act of spinning around tanks the frame-rate to 11fps. He panics and attempts to run. He clips through the floor, falls into the basement aggroing half the map. The screen goes black and loads for some time. Loading finishes and he finds himself free-falling hundreds of meters up like a skydiver. He screams - But the audio doesn't play. Landing perfectly in the middle of the street, like nothing happened, the cars around him start flipping over, mounting one another and exploding. The game crashes to the desktop and his save file is corrupted. Preem.


    BEST GRAPHICS

    Assassins Creed: Valhalla

    Sprawling vistas, intricate beards, detailed architecture, jaw-dropping weather effects, lovingly rendered viscera and gore. All of this and more awaits you on what is surely among the best current visual benchmarks for your XSX.


    BEST SOUND DESIGN

    DOOM ETERNAL

    Boom - Click Click. - DOOM's Sound design is second to none. From the boom of a shotgun to the "pop" of a Cacodemon's eye, everything here has been lovingly designed to make you feel like an unstoppable killing machine. Crushing a demon's spine with your bare fists never sounded so crisp.


    BEST FREE GAME WITH GOLD

    Tom Clancy's: The Division

    A fun 3rd person co-op shooter that has had the benefit of years of support, patches and additional content. If there ever was a game that deserved a second chance (particularly for the low low price of free) this was it.


    MOST BANG-ABLE CHARACTER

    The "Subscribe Button" - Game Pass

    Do it. Just do it. You know you want to...

    Many entrants this year in the "Other" category included the ever-popular votes for our 4 biggest stars of the category; Phill Spencer, Major Nelson, Lego Batman and My mother - However, some other notable entries included:

    Base Xbox One Keanu Reeves, The pool cue from Pool Nation FX, Panam and Judy, The bow from Assassins Creed: Valhalla, Dunkey, Tifa Lockheart, Every moderator on the sub except me and many many more :D


    MOST HATED CHARACTER

    2020

    It is very clear that Sony was not making any friends among Avengers fans this year and CDPR's publicly abusive relationship with release dates didn't make anyone happy either - However, the most extreme and unrelenting hatred this year is reserved for 2020. The final boss of years and widely agreed to be an all-around dick. 2020 was not fun for everyone and is so not invited to the Discord server.


    BEST ONGOING GAME

    Forza Horizon 4

    This year Forza managed to shift up a gear and blast past its age-old rivals of, Monster Hunter World, Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2. No Man's Sky appeared in their read view mirror briefly in the final lap, but it wasn't enough to stop them taking the checkered flag.


    BUYERS REMORSE AWARD

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Friends don't let friends play Cyberpunk 2077 on a base Xbox.

    Marvel's Avengers, CoD: Cold War and the Xbox One X tried to square up against Cyberpunk, but it teleported behind them, and before unleashing their ultimate attack, whispered in their ear; "Expanded personal refund policy, kid..."


    BEST ID@XBOX GAME

    Streets Of Rage 4

    Nostalgia: Check

    Banger soundtrack: Check

    Tight fighting mechanics refined over 30 years: Check

    Some of the best 2D graphics ever: Check

    Everything seems to be in order here.

    Shoutout to Carrion who slithered into second place with a difference of only 4 votes! Clearly, it didn't lose; It is biding its time...


    BEST XBOX MEME OF THE GENERATION

    You're Breathtaking!

    Keanu Reeves: Exists

    Gamers: OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG (♥ω♥*)

    Coming in second place was everyone's favourite monke; Craig. Third went to the glory that is the Xbox Fridge and "WORLD PREMIERE" debuted a distant fourth. Proving yet again the scientifically accepted fact that Redditors memory's do not extend further than 2 years.


    GAME OF THE GENERATION 2013-2020

    Pool Nation FX

    Objectively, subjectively, factually, historically, scientifically and spiritually the greatest game ever made and in no way whatsoever a forced meme. So good that we got it for free in GWG several months in a row, so many years ago - When life was simpler. Gamers were gamers, pool cues were sticks and we were allowed to go outside. Truly a time to be alive.


    RUNNER UP GAME OF THE GENERATION 2013-2020

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    A marvel of both artistry and technical innovation. A game that can awe you with its striking vistas, make you cry with its powerful narrative and impress you with its dynamic horse testicles. RDR2 is without question the greatest cowboy game ever made and one of the best games ever made, period. (Although as of 2019 only 22% of people who have played it, have finished it - So get on it, cowpoke!)

    Second place was The Witcher 3, very close behind, but not quite enough to take the win.

    Third place was actually Pool Nation FX. Bless every single one of you who voted for this.


    OVERALL BEST GAME OF THE YEAR 2019

    DOOM ETERNAL

    "You can't just shoot a hole into the hearts of /r/XboxOne..."

    Part Djent album, Part platformer, Part Quake 3 Arena, Part serious, Part Parody, Part Warhammer 40K Fanfic, Part colourful Saturday morning cartoon, Part Junji Ito illustration - All game. DOOM ETERNAL is a pure and self-aware embodiment of everything that makes video games great, and we love it for it. Except for the Marauder... Screw that guy...

    Here is what the overall results looked like: https://i.imgur.com/kG3Uc1d.png


    A big thanks to everyone who voted once again! See you all in 2021! - Love Cheese.

    10 More Overlooked Single Player Indie Games

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 11:03 AM PST

    Here's a link to the first post with 10 other overlooked indie games.

    Introduction

    We're all familiar with the Hotline Miami's, Hollow Knight's, and Celeste's of the world. These are some of the indie games that hit the big time. Of course, for every one of these games, there's 100 other indie games that have been glossed over, relegated to a spot in a digital store few people will ever find themselves in. I wanted to bring attention to some of these lesser known indie games. I'm going to order them according to Metacritic Critic Ratings. Some of the games at the bottom have pretty low critic ratings. I personally disagree with the low scores of these games, but it's only fair that you hear from more than just me.

    1. Inertial Drift

    • Price: $19.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: Racing

    • Metacritic: 84% from 5 Critic Reviews, 80% from 2 User Ratings

    • Description: Inertial Drift's distinguishing characteristic is its employment of the right analog stick for drifting. This takes a little getting used to, but it feels great once you get the hang of it, creating some exhilarating moments when perfecting corner turns. The game has 10 unique tracks + 10 reversed tracks, 16 vehicles, and four separate story arcs. Each story arc is only a couple of hours long and features a different protagonist with a different vehicle. Since you'll be racing on the same track a few times, there are a few gameplay variations that differ from just reaching the finish line at the end, such as racking up a certain number of points that are acquired through longer drift times and other means. There's quite a bit of dialogue between races, and in the races themselves characters will frequently dish out positive commentary on your performance in the form of text in the top left hand corner of the screen. The game's aesthetics are a fusion of anime and synthwave. I've heard many fans liken the game to the manga Initial D, though I'm unfamiliar with that series myself.

    • Completion Time: ~3 Hours (for 1/4 Story Arcs)

    • Extra Content: There are a number of different modes including a Story Mode, Challenge Mode, Grand Prix Mode, Arcade Mode, two player Split-Screen, and Online, as well as a Tutorial. Completion of challenges in Challenge Mode allows you to unlock new vehicles for the other non-Story Modes. Grand Prix Mode allows you to race using different characters/vehicles through a connected set of challenges, while Arcade Mode is for one-off races. I wouldn't recommend this game for online play as the user-base is pretty small (hence it being overlooked) and you're unlikely to find a match. Getting all the achievements is fairly difficult.

    2. Pumpkin Jack

    • Price: $29.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: 3D Action Platformer

    • Metacritic: 80% from 8 Critic Reviews, 60% from 10 User Ratings

    • Description: This is a 3D platformer that reportedly takes inspiration from both MediEvil and Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. There's about equal amounts of platforming and combat in this game. While the combat is relatively simple, you're given a variety of weapons that all feel unique. The levels have a good amount of variety within them – you'll jump between ships on a ferry ride, ride an undead horse through the sky, play a few mini games as a headless Jack, and fight a boss at the end of each of the six levels. Both the combat and platforming are relatively easy – platforms are typically large and Jack has an edge grab that helps tremendously, and smashing the many destructible objects around the levels increases your health. This game takes the linear adventure approach, with a number of collectibles sprinkled throughout the levels: crow skulls, presents, and gramophones. Some areas are more open and allow you to choose the order in which you do certain tasks. The game has a decent amount of dialogue in it, which does an effective job of giving some character to Jack, his two animal companions, and the rest of the cast. The visuals and soundtrack are particularly great, especially if you're into Halloween themed media.

    • Completion Time: ~4 Hours

    • Extra Content: There's collectibles to back for – I got about 2/3 of the collectibles on my first playthrough – skins to unlock – which are purchased with the collectibles you find in the levels – and you get to start a second playthrough with all the weapons already unlocked at the beginning.

    3. Pato Box

    • Price: $14.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: Punch-Out-like 3D Action Adventure

    • Metacritic: 80% from 1 Critic Review, 80% from 1 User Rating

    • Description: Pato Box follows an anthropomorphic duck boxer on an adventure through a stylistic noir comic book world. "Pato" is a Spanish word that translates to "Duck" in English (the game was developed by a Mexican studio). The boss fights are heavily inspired by Punch-Out's gameplay, but there are levels outside of these fights to help differentiate it. Most of the levels can be selected in any order you choose and typically serve as a leadup to the boss fight. Bosses are usually introduced by a cutscene followed by some dialogue taunting Pato Box. The levels play entirely differently from the fights, but the themes of the level match those of the bosses. The levels will employ various elements of evasion, stealth, exploration, and a few time-based mini-games. The casino level, for example, will have you walk around the casino looking for chips and punching the slot machines to earn enough to pay entrance to the fight, while the food factory has you evading stompers, sawblades, and butcher knives as you work your way through the level. There are variety of things to find throughout the levels: tokens for decorations in Pato Box's room, backstory on the boss of the level and the world, and tips on how to win the upcoming fight. The fights themselves lock Pato Box in the middle of the screen, allowing you to block, juke left or right, and perform a low or high jab to the left or right. The game foregoes a HUD in favor of a visual representation of your health via scars on your body, which I thought was a nice touch. While the levels and bosses play pretty differently from each other, they're weaved together by a dark and intriguing story that follows Pato Box's quest for retribution against an evil corporation.

    • Completion Time: ~7 Hours

    • Extra Content: There's an Arcade Mode that lets you replay boss fights and some collectibles to find in the main campaign. The achievements are very difficult, and many ask you to beat a boss without taking a single hit.

    4. Ultra Hat Dimension

    • Price: $4.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: 2D Level-based Puzzle Game

    • Metacritic: 80% from 1 Critic Review, 60% from 1 User Rating

    • Description: Ultra Hat Dimension follows Bea through a series of rooms in a palace on a quest to undo the magical spell that has made the mythical Spluff creatures want to attack one another. There is a little bit of backstory via one sentence thoughts from Bea in between levels, but nothing major here. The gameplay revolves equipping four different types of hats and using them to evade or push Spluffs around to retrieve the key and reach the door. Each Spluff dons one of four different hats which effects their behavior towards other Spluffs and you. You will be punched one tile back by every Spluff unless you're wearing the same hat as the Spluff. Spluffs interact with one another differently depending on what hat they're wearing in a rock, paper, scissors kind of way – they may punch a Spluff back one space, get into a scuffle that allows you to get close to them without wearing a hat, or they may temporarily disable them in a way that allows you to access the space the Spluff consumes within eight moves. There are undo and reset buttons included that allow you to quickly rewind mistakes. There are some clever puzzles accompanied by catchy tunes and a charming pixel art aesthetic. The difficulty is about average.

    • Completion Time: ~3 Hours

    • Extra Content: Since this is published by Ratalaika Games, getting all the achievements can be obtained after only clearing 2/3 of the levels. There are a few custom maps on the PC version of the game but no additional content on consoles.

    5. Penarium

    • Price: $9.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: 2D Platformer

    • Metacritic: 72% from 7 Critic Reviews, N/A from 0 User Ratings

    • Description: This is a quirky carnival-themed 2D platformer. The premise of the game is of a young boy overcoming obstacles and traps for the amusement of a sadistic circus crowd. The whole game operates on a single screen and utilizes only a double jump and movement. Jump to the edge of one side and you pop out on the other. You're tasked with dodging hazards and overcoming obstacles while smashing barrels around the stage or executing some other task, like staying in a spotlight that moves around and shines in different spots. There are three cut-scenes in the game that total less than two minutes and about 10 minutes of dialogue. Even though the story is very brief, I still felt the ending was a satisfying conclusion and offered more than I expected.

    • Completion Time: ~2.5 Hours

    • Extra Content: There is an arcade mode where you can see how many barrels you can smash in a set amount of time. The achievements are pretty difficult but offer some fun challenges. There is also a competitive/versus local multiplayer mode for two players, but it's nothing special and probably won't entertain long.

    6. SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption

    • Price: $18.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: Soulslike Action Adventure

    • Metacritic: 66% from 11 Critic reviews, 53% from 11 User Ratings

    • Description: SINNER: Sacrifice for Redemption is a Soulslike boss rush - there are no levels and only small area before each boss to practice your moves. There are eight bosses, the first seven allowing you to fight in any order, each representing the seven deadly sins. You are equipped with everything the game has to offer from the beginning (except for the New Game+ weapon they give you), and instead of becoming more powerful, you gradually lose things with each boss you defeat, hence the "sacrifice" in the title. It's like a reverse RPG. Each boss has a different sacrifice associated to it – one may deplete your throwing items' usage, while another will deplete your health and stamina. Picking the best order to fight them in adds a little strategic thinking to the game, as you may be more dependent on your large health and stamina bar more than your throwing items' usage, for example. The game is fairly difficult, so your victories over each boss feel very gratifying when they do come.

    • Completion Time: ~5 Hours

    • Extra Content: There is New Game+ that offers you an additional weapon. The achievements task you with a few things you have to pull off in battles, and getting all the achievements is pretty easy to obtain.

    7. Tamashii

    • Price: $11.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Slightly Graphic (Link)

    • Genre: Puzzle Platformer/Horror

    • Metacritic: 65% from 2 Critic Reviews, 70% from 1 User Rating

    • Description: Reportedly inspired by obscure Japanese games from the late 1980s and 1990s, Tamashii blends puzzle platforming together with an oppressive atmosphere. The introduction starts with the character being willed into existence by a godlike character that tasks him with destroying the macabre forces that have taken control of and corrupted his chambers. Your character is able to spawn three inanimate clones of himself which is the primary source for most of the platforming and some of the boss fights – you'll use them to trigger switches and open up new paths. There's about an even mix of puzzle solving and platforming, and there's a whole eight bosses in this short adventure (though one is a secret) that are probably the most visually interesting moments in the game. The creatures and backgrounds are effective in selling the dark presentation of the game. The difficulty is about average – maybe slightly easier than most indie puzzle platformers. There is a sequel currently in the works.

    • Completion Time: ~2.5 Hours

    • Extra Content: There are a few obscure secrets to discover. You can also play through the chambers again with a score meter, and there are certain achievements associated with getting a good score. Getting all the achievements isn't too difficult, but you'll probably need a guide for some of the secrets.

    8. Daggerhood

    • Price: $4.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: 2D Platformer

    • Metacritic: 63% from 2 Critic Reviews, 70% from 1 User Rating

    • Description: Daggerhood's main hook is the use of its sword teleportation mechanic. You throw your sword with a button, and you press the same button again to teleport to where the sword is. While this is a mechanic that has been seen in some Metroidvanias, I haven't seen a tight, linear 2D platformer make use of this mechanic before. Each level has a number of collectibles and some small side sections as well, but for the most part the path to the finish is clear - it's just the execution that's the tricky part. Add in teleportation portals to make things even trickier.

    • Completion Time: ~2.5 Hours

    • Extra Content: As this is a Ratalaika Games published game, getting all the achievements only takes about 1-1.5 hours to achieve. You can get it well before you even finish the game, which is a shame because the game had all the makings for a fun 100% achievement goal. There are tons of collectibles in each level, and each level records your time. So there is a lot here to extend to the playtime.

    9. The Bunker

    • Price: $19.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Link

    • Genre: FMV Point & Click Adventure/Horror

    • Metacritic: 59% from 8 Critic Reviews, 55% from 11 User Ratings

    • Description: The Bunker is an FMV point & click adventure, meaning it features real actors and environments just like a live action movie. Many of the actors involved have been in high profile movies/TV shows as well, including The Hobbit, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Penny Dreadful. The game takes place in a fallout shelter and follows the last survivor as he tries to find a way outside following the death of his mother, after living 30+ years in the bunker. The gameplay has you solving puzzles and finding ways to proceed to the next area. The story is the focal point of the game though, and it frequently switches between the past and the present to tell its story. There's a good juxtaposition between the lively past and the lonely present that makes you question how the protagonist ended up as the last survivor. There's only one narrative choice to make in the game, and it comes at the very end. The game also works in handheld mode with touchscreen functionality if you'd prefer to play it that way.

    • Completion Time: ~2. Hour Completion Time*

    • Extra Content: You can replay the game and try to find all the collectibles. Most of them give more background on the story. You can trigger the ending you did not choose the first time around by simply reloading the last checkpoint, so there is no need to play through the whole game again to unlock it. Getting all the achievements is fairly easy.

    10. Cybarian: The Time-Traveling Warrior

    • Price: $4.99

    • Picture: Link

    • Trailer: Trailer

    • Genre: 2D Action Platformer

    • Metacritic: 48% from 2 Critic Reviews, 75% from 2 User Ratings

    • Description: Cybarian has an interesting yet simple combat system that distinguishes itself from most action platformers. Instead of mashing the attack button, you have to press it once, wait two seconds for the animation to complete, press it again, wait two seconds for the animation to complete, and then press it again to complete a full combo. It sounds like something that's easy to get down quickly, but I found myself still occasionally going too quickly in the intensity of a boss fight. The game punishes you by not fulfilling the attack if you button mash. After each boss fight, you unlock a new move that will be required to fell some foes in the next stage. Conversely, you can play Hard Mode which unlocks all moves right from the get-go, but you'll have to beat all four stages without dying. "Hardcore Mode" would've been a more apt description of this difficulty setting, I feel.

    • Completion Time: ~1.5 Hours

    • Extra Content: Just like with Ultra Hat Dimension and Daggerhood, this is a Ratalaika Games published game, so getting all the achievements can be achieved in under an hour. It would've been nice if they pushed you to beat Hard Mode, but you'll just have to settle for internal gratification instead.

    Have you played any of these games? What are some other overlooked single player indie games?

    Just a recommendation from what I’ve learned from my mistake: if you buy a console that comes with a special edition controller or buy one by itself but don’t plan on using it or maybe you will down the road, check it right away for any defects so you can send it back in time to use the warranty.

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:00 PM PST

    I've decided to try my Scorpio edition Xbox one controller since I'm currently have issues with my elite controller and I've come to find out that a controller I've never used once has stick drift from the get go. Since I didn't check the controller, I'm pretty much out of luck since the warranty has ended. Please check your controllers and don't make my mistake.

    Playing it right now for the GPU weekly reward set and achievement quest for reward points and I wasn't expecting much but wow, it's such a beautiful game. I know it wasn't seen as a serious Xbox exclusive when it was announced but playing it through GP was a great opportunity to see the game for myself. The visuals, music, and the way every block I move or change contributes to the music each round I play really makes it quite the immersive experience. Some games ask that you use headphones or have surround sound to appreciate the game and you go ahead without either as usual: this is a game that you really should do it because the game is vibrant. It got my heart pumping (that, and the pressure of every level speeding up the blocks).

    If you haven't already, you should try it.

    14 day game pass ultimate. I know it’s not long but maybe someone needs it. Merry Chrysler to whoever redeems it.

    5.1 uncompressed or bitstream out?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:46 PM PST

    I have a 5.1 surround sound system that is connected to my tv (Sony x900h) through optical cable (it doesn't have HDMI, it's an older reciever). When I go uncompressed 5.1, it gives me surround sound to all speakers. When I go bitstream out and then select Dolby digital, it also gives me surround sound to all speakers.

    Which one is the better one to go with?

    Batteries or plug and play? Which do you prefer?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 06:30 AM PST

    I'm currently using eneloops batteries which when I'm using two I will have another two on charge.

    I'm now thinking it's probably better to get a plug and play set.

    What do you use?

    Game keeps crashing

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 05:03 PM PST

    My FIFA 21 keeps crashing every time I finish a game. I'll get back to the menus and I'll just hear a buzzing noise from my tv for like 5 seconds and I get sent back to the dashboard. I can get back into the game but it starts lagging and happens again after I finish another match.

    I've tried everything in settings, hard reset and uninstalling/reinstalling the game but it's still happening.

    Wondering if it's the disc but does anyone else have this problem or know what can be done?

    Managed to hook a Series S! Just a small doubt though

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 07:41 PM PST

    I'm upgrading from a One S I've used for years and I know I can transfer my games and progress via Network Transfer, either WiFi or USB. Since games are tied to my user I can straight download them from the store, too; but is my progress downloaded as well if I do it this way?

    Cheers to anyone upgrading! Knowing that I'm spending money on so many hours of joy just feels right. Thanks in advance!

    Great too see MS still showing the ONE X some love. Saw this on the new Gamepass Thankyou video currently on dashboard which as well as showing the New Series X/S consoles also included the discontinued One X @ 0.35 bless them. Am a new One X owner & really enjoying the Gamepass experience,

    Xbox Elite Series 2 Out of Warranty Repair Cost?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 09:21 PM PST

    Hello r/Xbox one!

    My Elite Series 2 has a bad right bumper. I have tried fixing it myself, but it appears as if the actual button on the board has gone bad, which is outside of my wheel-house.

    I have looked online and can't for the life of me find any information on out of warranty repair costs on the controller so I can figure out if I should just buy a new one (or shop around for another option with paddles) or send it in.

    Any info would be great! Happy holidays everyone!
