One sure fire way to have your game deleted off my Xbox is to push a 23 Gb "patch" long after I beat it. Not even sure why Shadow of the Tomb Raider needs that large of an update.

Looking at the notes:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Update Version 1.06 Patch Notes For PS4 And Xbox One

Fixed an issue where reloading just as you opened a locked strongbox would not make it count towards 100% completion.
Fixed a progression blocker in a Peruvian Jungle crypt, causing a stone pillar to disappear.
Fixed a progression blocker in Trial of the Eagle.
Fixed a progression blocker in the Mission of San Juan library.
Fixed a progression blocker in Lara’s dream.
Fixed an issue where Unuratu would become invisible during the prison escape.
Fixed an issue where jaguars would freeze in place.
Improvements to enemy AI perception.

I do not know the first thing about coding but it seems like a big update for not a lot of stuff? Anyway it is deleted until the DLC gets a huge discount but with the "Definitive" Edition coming that might be never.
That is the size of the entire Tomb Raider game. I think it's a glitch with Xbox's download estimates. I've had a couple of games show updates that were the size of the full game, but after downloading for a minute they changed to the correct amount. Two days ago Destiny 2 popped up with a 97GB update in my queue but after a minute of downloading it adjusted to 1GB

But I've also had a handful of times where my Xbox has redownloaded an entire game while everyone else was getting a small patch. The only thing I can think of is that I must have forced a shutdown while an update was happening and it made the Xbox need a fresh install of the game.

  • The T-800 is almost universally hated because the character model is small (though same hitbox), very dark gray color so harder to see than Swarm/Locust characters, and has no voice lines for things like "throwing grenade" so the only sound it makes are footsteps which sound the same as COG DBs. It's so bad that Terminator is already banned from competitive. This paid pack now gives you a slightly smaller, totally black Rev-9 so it's even worse.
It has combat advantages too. Not only does it get stim (like Keegan) but it takes less melee damage than other characters. It's impossible to win a knife fight with the terminator. 3 hits vs 2. I've tested it. You can sprint around corners like fricken' COD MW2 with a care package marker and never lose a melee fight.

 
Noticed my Xbox one x getting loud while in the lobby for modern warfare and while playing the outer worlds, before it was dead silent. Not sure what gives

Noticed the same thing while playing Borderlands 3 today. This was the first time I think I have heard the fans run on my one X.

It's why I decided to trade it in and get the Gears bundle (helped that MS store was giving out a digital game with purchase). I'll be curious if it's an normal thing or just an issue with my Xbox. Normally my Xbox was quiet and my PS4 was the one that would sound like a jet engine.

 
I saw Dark Fate last night at the late showing and while I liked it enough, it is near the bottom on my ranking of terminator movies.  Also the theater was dead and reports out today say it bombed so the franchise is likely dead.

I thought the casting, which was noticeably small, was pretty bad.  And the writing for the returning characters was even worse. 

First, the guy who played the new Terminator was the least menacing of any terminator in all the films.

It was trying to be more human and only killed if someone got in his way with the exception of the couple characters it assimilated.  There was one point where it even said something nice to some humans and walked away. Also at the end it had Dani in its hands and didn't kill her.

Second, I didn't really care for the actresses playing Grace, the protector role in this film and Dani, the target for termination. 

They gave Grace a weakness that didn't really add to the film other than the pharmacy scene and it made you not care when she sacrificed herself at the end because she was already near death the whole movie.  You definitely didn't get the emotional response like the end of T2 when the T800 couldn't self terminate which is what the end scene seemed like it was going for.

I also didn't like Dani that much in the replacement Sarah Connor role.  The scenes they show of her do not elevate her to the savior of all mankind nothing close to what Sarah had to endure so it made it tough to care about her like you did Sarah.

Third, the writing for Linda and Arnold was bad.

Having the T800 kill John in the first minute of the movie then expecting the audience to care about him later was a horrible misstep.  And Sarah being so full of herself and cocky made me actually dislike her character which in the first 2 movies you really cared about her.  She actually came off more robotic than the T800 who had become more human, but maybe that was the point?

Aside from what I mentioned above I really though the biggest misstep was:

Renaming Skynet to Legion and rather than showing how Legion took over giving the full effect of the take over, just having Grace explain it while riding on the top of a train with only a couple of flashback scenes was so so bad.  In my opinion this was T3s shining moment when the machines took over, it was legit terrifying.  But yeah, taking an iconic name like Slynet and renaming it to a generic hacker name like Legion was just bad.

All that said, it was still a good movie and I still love the franchise.  I'd rank the movies:

T2 > T1 > Genisys = T3 > Dark Fate > Salvation

I'm extremely skeptical of DA4. Not a good sign when the only thing we know about it is that it restarted development to be live service focused and this basically caused the person that has been charge of it since the beginning to quit the company.

So, like me, you're "cautiously optimistic?" :)

 
I got a $8 credit to go see Dark Fate. The closest theater is over hour away from me, so not worth it for me. like this post for the code. Will pick a winner later tonight.
 
CoD: modern warfare campaign is pretty enjoyable. Kind of reminds me of Spec Ops the Line where it brings the brutality of war, how violence creates terrorists and more war and that Russians always suck. There’s a lot of wrenching moments that make it a good play through as opposed to just being some Rambo superhero saving the day. I recommend it.
 
Reading user reviews on the new elite controller, the shift button feature sounds like something i'll love:

For me, hold the shift paddle and pressing up and down on the D-pad changes the volume. Clicking other paddles will take a screenshot or record a clip. Clicking my left analog stick brings up achievements. It gives every button another use and it's insanely convenient. You can even set up button presses to launch games and apps!

 
Winners!

#59 Donken pick which you like

#32 mrclutch you will get whatever is left!

PLEASE PM ME YOUR GT

until next time

Anyone have any tips or suggestions for adjusting the volume of chat? I have the mixer set to knock everything else down by the highest amount but there are still some games where the game volume is wicked loud compared to chat. Is it just a matter of adjusting sound in each game and the chat mixer isn't helping much or are some people using a headset on the other side of the room from where they sit?

I have the rig 800 headset and I can’t even hear people in party chat while playing apex if I don’t set it to chat mode, have to go into game chat to be able to hear both and it pisses me off.

There isn't much else to do on the system level aside from adjusting the one slider they give you. That's usually enough from me unless someone has a really shitty mic or something. Pretty much all games now give you at game volume and music volume as options, and usually dialogue and voice chat options as well.

When playing Fortnite I have to use game chat to speak with people on other platforms, and that has a bunch of volume options.

Ninjin is a good game for easy achievements if you don't already own it.

And I had just bought Coffee Crisis and Hive Jump before this list dropped.

Thanks Bloomy.

 
Saw beast quest and got excited because gang beasts is pretty much the only game on my wishlist right now and my brain automatically assumed it was on sale when I read beast quest.
 
Quite a jump from the 720p30 X1 started at (for some games)
Well if they want the next machine to last 7 years they got to go big so anything less then 4K60FPS will be a big disappointment to me. Of course they may save that for the inevitable refresh 3 or 4 years in (X1X 2?). Really that refresh should be 4K 120HZ but will probably be 8K 30FPS around Fall 2024. At this point I am PC (RTX 2060 and SSD's) for multi-plats until a year from now when the new generation begins.

I have replaced most of my X1 4K 30FPS games with 1440p 60+FPS on the PC and it is so much nicer. At least with game pass all is not lost as I have been able to play Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, and now Outer Worlds on PC. Meanwhile my PS4 Pro has been collecting dust for a year now since Spider-Man came out.

I enjoy this thread and the people on it but the truth is xbox doesn't excite me any more (beyond game pass ultimate on pc)

I need the next generation to get that excitement back. This happens at the end of every console cycle when PC is far ahead after several years.

Next fall could be glorious with XBOX Next, PS5, and perhaps RTX 3070 GPU. I am going to keep my powder dry this black friday season and save my $ for next year when all hell is gonna break loose. That said I am hoping a 144hz 27" 1440p IPS monitor gets a deal.

To be fair a lot of them got to 900p ;) but I don't see MS ever losing that "war" again. It will be interesting because there is 0% chance they can list their hardware more expensively than the base PS5 this time out and can also never get into the it's 1080p on PS4 and 900p on the Xbox One again. At least they have deep pockets to eat Hardware cost.

As for oldslowgamer, I'm not sure 4k 60fps is going to be realistic on everything this next gen, still up to the developers to optimize. Even something late in the console life cycle like Outer Worlds has some strange hiccups. Sounds like you're already in the PC game space and are solely focused on frame rate. PC is going to win that argument every time just from throwing raw power at it. I don't know if there is going to be much the consoles can do for you there.

 
Extinction worth at least a fiver? Know it got panned but anybody play it?
I think it’s ok. I got a couple hours of enjoyment out of it for $11 when I bought it for cheap on amazon.

I highly recommend City of Brass for $6. That game is really awesome and has lots of free post content support since release.

I'm with OldSlowGamer, I wish all the next systems would make 60fps mandatory. I'd be willing to sacrifice some of the resolution for that. It seems to make more of a difference on current TVs. I'm going to go out on a limb and say most CAGs have TVs with 60hz panels. My TCL 6 Series has a 60hz panel. If we all had real 120hz TV panels, it would hide some of the blur and judder from 30fps games. The difference in blurriness during motion between 30fps game and 60fps games is insane.

I know of one game you can test this out in real-time: Layers of Fear 2. The video options let you choose between 30fps and 60fps in game. On the X the difference is noticeable.

I just started TOW and the performance is disappointing. According to Digital Foundry, the XBX version runs worse than the PS4 Pro version. XBX does have better textures/resolution (but lower foliage density). They need to reduce resolution if they can't even hit a consistent 30 FPS.
