Microsoft Xbox Discussion - It is my nature

[Commander Clueless]

I still play it on PC (once it came to Origin access a couple months or so ago) and it's still easy to find games to play. I played a couple yesterday actually.

On Xbox I haven't played in a couple weeks but when I did last play I had no issues finding games there either.

Origin Access likely helped.

Back in the day I could get into games, but I rapidly started to recognize the same players over and over. Mostly because they crapped on me.

 

[KingBran]

Oh yeah I am sure Origin Access definitely helped.

Haha! I had that same experience when Rocket League was pretty much brand new and with Snow Day (hockey). There was quite a few people I would see over and over again because Snow Day just isn't as popular as Soccar. With all these new versions of the game though and now that its on like every system there is a healthy amount of people in almost all game modes. Still run into some games of Snow Day where I recognize some people but not as often.

I just noticed Pinball FX3 is in the store. I love this series because I really like how you can import the tables from the previous versions. It has a really weird way to do that though. You go into the game, it kicks you out to store to what it wants to download from your previous purchases, go back into game, kicks you back to store, etc.... Been doing this for a half hour now

 

[KingBran]

They had some pinball FX tables on sale for the black friday sale Xbox had going on.

I am not sure about the glitching you are experiencing just wanted to give you a heads up.

 

[Iron Mosher]

Not a glitch, just poor implementation. Pinball FX2 also had issues, but that was purchasing tables in game. They updated the graphics on the tables and it's very noticeable on the original tables. There's also a challenge mode on all the tables with Single Ball, 5 Minutes and Survival. The best part is I didn't have to spend a dime on it.

It’s dead on some game modes but you can stilll find games. Titanfall 2 failing is all eas fault and surprisingly they admitted to that (at least some members)

Anyone having a problem logging on to Xbox Live? I can't even connect to the internet on my 1 S and done everything possible on my end.

No but some things won’t load.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Fortnite is free, it's basically Player Unknown's deal with cartoon graphics but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

 

[Iron Mosher]

No but some things won’t load.

Turns out my NIC's weren't being recognized and I had to do a factory reset. Xbox support was always good for me before but this time it was terrible. It took half an hour to get to that conclusion I already knew when it should have taken 5 minutes based on all the trouble shooting I explained I had already done. At least it works now,

I had the load problem too where it erased my games and I had to reinstall them which is BS with bandwidth caps and all.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

So.. I’m thinking of getting cuphead but before I do

How hard is it solo? I’m pretty good at games so I can adapt well if that makes difference

 

[KingBran]

I am thinking of getting Cuphead since it's on sale too.

It's very hard, but in some cases it's actually harder in co-op. Co-op gives you a failsafe of having a friend that can catch you from dying, but in some fights it makes it way harder to see what's happening.

Still, I do recommend playing it both ways if possible.

Do it. It's fantastic. Frustratingly fantastic.

We gave my son an Xbox One for Christmas, today it seemed to be having an issue reading discs. I tried a few things, then googled it & found several videos showing how to 'fix it' It's working now, but I'm curious how known this problem is, & if I should look to swap the Xbox or call Microsoft before it becomes more troublesome? TIA

What did you do? Did you hold it until you had to let go? That’s what I have to do and so far it hasn’t gotten worse so don’t worry about that one

And either way just go digital

I would swap it unless you can see there is obviously something wrong with the disc such as gunk, smudges or scratches. Maybe try a few different ones. I barely used my disc drives on my X or One. Either way if it's new and it's the Box I would get a new one.

Are there any decent cart racers for XB1?

 

[Harbinger]

Can't play any of my downloaded games due to Xbox Live having a dump. I can't even boot up single player games like Dragon's Dogma or Life is Strange.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

No, but Forza Horizon 3 is probably the most fun I've ever had with a racing game (not a genre that I'm particularly fond of).

Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed (360) is backwards compatible and your best bet for a good kart racer on the system.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Rumblings of a new Fable by the guys who make Forza Horizon.

A new 'Fable' game is reportedly in the works

Far Cry 4 worth $12?

How many hours would one expect to spend in it (single player)?

If you ever have that question just look it up online. HLTB. It’s an estimate (based on other people’s playtimes) but pretty accurate. 17 hours just for the story and if you do other things it’s about 30
How long is Far Cry 4? - HLTB

 

[izzy]

thats quite a deal

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I’m getting the Xbox Game Pass after the news that all first party games will be available day 1.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Yeah idk about that. But I’ll probably just one month it
