Random, but this remains the best video game trailer ever made.
I like that one. But I think this is the best...
My fav video game trailer of all time...
Pretty much bought the game and got hooked on the series because of this video. On a side note picked up the Elite controller on Amazon for $120.00 last week. Love it. Using two paddles to supplement certain buttons customized for different games. Don't ever have to take my hands off the sticks which is very helpful for multiplayer.
^ yeah for Gears I use two for x and a as I already have the tourney set up from the Gears menu. Now I am able to pick up weapons, ammo or people and turn around at the same time. I am also able to use the tac com without losing to ability to turn around.
You can literally do all that with a standard controller unless I read it wrong
NO you can't I'm using the underneath paddles for X and A. I don't need to touch the buttons at all when normally you need to hold X to pick up and can't touch the right stick. On the tourney setting X is ammo pick up and A is tac com but you can assign them to the underneath paddles. While true you can change your layout of any controller, don't have the four extra paddles underneath. Also the Elite allows you a quick select of two profiles plus you can save dozens more for multiple games. Not to mention the hair triggers.
Oh ok I get what your saying. i play claw so I can hold x and move my joystick
I don't get how people can play on different control schemes though. I've been using the default since gears 1. Just too weird if I change it
Tourney has LB as your run/roll/grab cover. That's how people bounce around so fast because they can pick their next wall while they are sliding or cancel. In a fight your not taking your hands of the two sticks.
You can't really bounce too fast in this game. And when I tried alternate/tourney controls on gears 3 and 4 the bounce was all messed up for me. Had to go to the same wall twice before I could go to another one
What? Have you played multiplayer? If you send me your Xbox gamer tag I can show you or help you out with getting better at it. Also it helps if you turn your look sensitivity up. Part of bouncing in some cases is cancelling right before you hit the wall/cover and sliding to another. The tourney settings took me a while to get used to. I started using them in Ultimate Edition.
The bounce is slow compared to gears 3. All you have to do is YouTube search videos on it. They added a cap.
I'm not saying it's super slow or anything. It's still pretty good but you mostly use it to get out of situations rather then in them
They have adjusted some things in the 2.2 playlist which will be added to competitive. Nothing has changed for Core.... yet. Currently it is no different than 3 for me.
To me, unless you are a gamer to the core (which it doesn't sound like you are) OR have a 4K tv with HDR then there is no reason to get the X.I'm looking to get a new Xbox since I haven't had one personally for about 2 years and am missing playing these days. To be honest I'm really looking to only play FIFA and the new Call of Duty online and utilize some of the other apps (Netflix, HBO Go, etc.) on a non-smart TV.
From what I understand the Xbox One X is coming out later in the fall, but not sure if that would be something that I would need and would it be beneficial to hold off on getting an S until the release? I appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!

If you just want to play some games you wont have a bad experience with the S at all.
Thanks, I kinda figured. I'm assuming the prices of S's have already declined in anticipation of the X's release? Also, what (if any) was the forecast on the next generation, as I don't think it would be worth it if it was in a year from now?

I really don't think it's going to be a niche product at all. It was the fastest selling Xbox to date on the preorders for the Project Scorpio edition.For your use case, I recommend the One S. It's almost half the price and, frankly, a really good deal for what you get.
The One X is mostly for people who want the better 4K experience. Hopefully it gives better frame rates as well, although judging from Phil Spencer's reaction to the questioning at E3 I wouldn't say it's a guarantee by any means.
Since the One X is a bit of a niche product, I doubt the One S drops in price. You may get Christmas deals soon, I suppose...

Plus, remember last generation when the Xbox 360 just decimated the PS3 for years then the PS3 slowly caught up. I think people with an Xbox 360 wanted to play some PS3 games they missed out on. Could be the reverse happening this time around.
I think the Xbox will outsell the PS4 this coming year. They REALLY need to get some exclusives going though if they want to come close to total sale numbers.
