Major Nelson just tweeted out that the SSX 3 issue is known and they are working on a fix but it could take A FEW HOURS!!!!  Does he not know that people want it now?

 
I'm sure we've already covered this, but what's the deal with buying from other countries stores on Xbone? I'm just getting Oman Wars flashbacks, but if I can safely get A Hat in Time for $11.09 I'll probably do it.

Well, at least I now know I wasn’t singled out to be deprived of it.

Apparently it’s only playable for criminals like praxus07.

So do these OG Xbox games look any better on a One S or is the only benefit when you play them on the X?
360 games show no benefit on the One S, as we all know. OG games run by default at 4x the resolution.

KOTOR comparison (no X1X, just S footage):

It's a rumor right now but BLOPS IV might not have a single player mode. What the fuck have they been doing the last 3 years? I stopped with CoD MP some time ago but I actually enjoy most of the SP campaigns.

BLOPS III didn't have campaign on the last gen systems, so it's not like it's the first time a COD had no campaign. I only play COD for the campaign, I couldn't care less about the MP, so if there is no campaign, I sure as hell won't be buying it. Of course, I'm the minority that they don't care about.

I paid for it and SSX is working on my S and X. Prepare to be stunned! This game looks frigging AMAZING!

You're right, it would be the SECOND time. :p

If they throw in a CE fridge or lamp or toaster or some other small appliance, I'll probably buy it anyways.

 
RIP Barbara Bush

My girlfriend was once in DC when she was ~4 years old and complained to a stranger that she wanted Power Rangers underwear like her cousin had.

That woman was Barbara Bush.

Actually that looks amazing just on the S.
Agreed. The clarity in the textures and colors is about half-way to a remaster IMHO, amazing how these old games can come to life with a simple resolution increase. It may vary from game to game, but Ninja Gaiden practically looks like a current gen game on a budget vs something ~15 years old.

Not much if you are from United States, where you can buy games pretty "cheap" compared to other countries. There are differents payment methods for each country, but I always do in Hungary where I can use my credit card (at least in my case 'cause I´m from EU). If you haven't bought any game in other countries so far, I would not advise you to start now.

 
Sometime last week I asked for thoughts on The Adventure Pals. I ended up buying it and I have to say, I am loving the game so far. I mean really loving it. The art style is great and it’s pretty funny.

The difficulty level makes it a perfect recommendation for the “What games can I use to get my SO into platformers?” category. I would imagine it’s a pretty good co-op game for kids too.

Very fun so far.
 
Playing Super lucky's tale on gamepass, the actual platforming isn't super great but a all around fun game, gonna pick up the thousand base achievements, that title update with achievements is bullshit

 
Any opinions on >observer?

Is the cyberpunk narrative in it somewhat compelling or just shallow? It's the type of setting which i find interresting when well done.

 
Morrowind looks stunning when you put it next to the OG XBox version. However, the low res textures and bad fog REALLY stand out. The game itself is still awesome, but be warned it does not hold your hand.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is stunning in 4k. Quite the looker for a launch XBox title.

Jade Empire looks AMAZING in 4k. I can NOT believe how well it looks compared to the OG XBox version.

I heard Conker looks the best out of the bunch.

Has anyone tried Breakdown on the X? Always wanted to get it but not sure if I should.

Same goes for Blinx.

 
Playing Conker as we speak. It does look really good. Almost seems like they upgraded the textures. And even blades of grass and trees look like something from a newer game. Only wish is that it was widescreen but other than that amazing stuff.

Oh and I’m STILL getting that fucking disc error message with SSX 3. Totally pissed about that.

I played Blinx. The audio is in Japanese :(

It looks ok but not the wow factor I got with Ninja Gaiden and Crimson Skies. I wasn't blown away by Jade Empire, either. I hadn't played it on original xbox, though.

 
Fired up Friday the 13th and just tried the offline bots and, yeah, the AI is hilariously bad. They’ll just stand around and watch someone get slaughtered in front of them instead of running away. Some run about 10 feet then turn around and run towards you!

Funny to just get your feet wet and learn mechanics but for single player this is not a long term investment.

I’ll jump on MP one of these nights. I’m sure there’s is fun to be had.

This guy has a huge Xbox controller and other Xbox things collection. I've followed him for a while. Sad to hear he passed away:

Morrowind looks pretty incredible on the One X. Yeah, it's a janky old Elder Scrolls game so it's not going to stand up to anything modern or the infinitely better PC version with mods and such, but compared to how it looked and ran on the original Xbox, it's fantastic.

Resolution makes everything nice and sharp, aside from the heavy fog, but the big deal is the game runs at a mostly smooth 60 fps, which is a huge upgrade from the original. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD UNCAP YOUR FRAMERATES, DEVELOPERS! At the very least include an option for future proofing. In the off-chance the Xbox Double Zero supports BC, it could be great playing something that runs sluggish today at an uncapped 60 fps like this. Being stuck at 30 even now on the One X is so frustrating with older titles.

Rant over.

I've turned off automatic updates just so I can play Arkham City at 60 fps from the unpatched disc version.
 
Bioware's online store is closing "temporarily" so they have a fire sale on everything. Check it out for Mass Effect and Dragon Age merch. Unfortunately a lot of the men's sizes are already gone but they have more than clothes. I don't remember if the women of the thread like either series but you'll have more options at least. Shipping could kill if you're on a budget, but it's still a great price on most of it, and the couple items of clothing I bought there before are pretty well made.

I paid $33 total for a hoodie and messenger bag.
