Appreciated, here and via the pm. I think I'm hosed because my TV seems to lie about passing through audio. Plug Xbox on to tv, 4k and stereo. Into soundbar gets 1080p and surround. I'm beginning to think I have to buy another piece of equipment to get everything in one. And here I thought I had solved everything.

Televisions passing Atmos audio is a recent development. I have a 2016 LG OLED, and it doesn't. You'll need to route the audio to a sound bar or reciver that supports it.

Bloody  fuck , My Xbone X keeps breaking. Last month I lost signal to the tv, I tried everything from reboot, another hdmi cable, different ports on the tv, to another tv, and nothing. Sent it in under warranty. Got it back after 10 days out. Lasted 3 weeks and did the same thing and again did the same steps before sending it in. Just got it back this past Monday and everything is working till this morning. Tried the same steps, did a hard reboot and now it won't power on at all. So not only does it not send signal to the tv but now it won't turn on and what puts the cherry on top is it's out of warranty.  fuck  fuck  fuck

MS may make an exception about the warranty period due to how recently you got the system back.

 
Sounds like the second repair was returned on Monday so POS didn't even make a week.   No way would I accept my warranty is over.  It was DOA when I got around to hooking it up.  

 
Decided to try and play through RE7 this week before RE2 comes out. The demo is getting such great reception I may end up splurging on it. 

Started this morning and goddamn, I love horror games but RE7 is fucking scary. These games usually are tense and creepy, but this is a whole new level. 

 
I'm not even sure what 'toxic' means at this point but when you are in a 'competitive' (and I use that word loosely with Overwatch) game with a large group of people driven by ego, your are going to hear alot of shit talk. And honestly, compared to something like playing Mortal Kombat II on Genesis online via Xband or Halo 2 back in the day on Xbox Live, it's pretty tame.
I think Overwatch only gets really toxic if you rank up in Competitive. I usually place Gold, with the occasional Platinum, and never really heard shit talking. I usually queue up with a couple guys. I have a friend that plays a lot still and generally solo queues that hears more of it, but he was more frustrated by the various bad metas than people being shithead.

Personally I've only seen people being toxic in Fortnite lately, and it's pretty rare. Most of the salty messages I get are in fighting games.
I think most online games have their crap people and communities. When it’s the predominant part of the game, that’s when people stop playing it. I’m not a competitive player at all so when I play Injustice 2, Battlefront 2 or Battlefield I am doing so just to have fun. I was like that when I played MMOs. I didn’t care for the super serious guilds that raided all the time. The environment wasn’t fun. I was interested in whether Overwatch had a good amount of decent people playing quick matches and such. If the load times weren’t so bad in Battlefront 2, I’d stick to that. Overwatch also feels a lot like Team Fortress 2 which was the only online shooter I really loved playing.
 
Televisions passing Atmos audio is a recent development. I have a 2016 LG OLED, and it doesn't. You'll need to route the audio to a sound bar or reciver that supports it.
Lesson I should have learned from cell phones, Samsung is terribly slow at putting out software updates. There's no reason it can't pass any version of surround sound when a firmware update would fix it. Will not purchase again.


Question I never thought to ask before: what color is the background in the settings app?

Having played a ton of Overwatch and Dead By Daylight, it's kind of funny to see the Overwatch community described as "toxic."

I'm admittedly not a high level competitive player in Overwatch, but I'm also not in DBD and with ~300 hours in each, there's just no comparison. I'm sure that as with most things, it's worse if you play on PC too, since it's so much easier to type messages to teammates or post-game, etc., but I never get negative messages in Overwatch. The most BM I've seen is the old "thanks" voice line when the team's about to lose.

Contrast to DBD where I've gotten dozens of messages and just about anytime I play as a killer, I'm expecting some salty reactions if I play well. At a minimum, other players just teabagging you, taunting you, extending the game for no good reason but to be a shit, etc.

Just my take but if someone's considering buying Overwatch on console, the two things I mainly wouldn't be worried about are the community's size and toxic behavior. I don't think there's any need to assume that someone just considering buying it now is going to ascend to the highest levels of competitive and deal with people who take it way too seriously, for instance.

 
In general I feel like a see a lot less toxicity now than the old days. I've been playing on Xbox Live consistently for about 11 years now, and I remember a lot more shit talk during the 360 era. On Halo 3, Reach, L4D, and Gears 1-3 I remember way more people talking in general than we get now, so obviously the percentage of people being assholes was higher. I'm not sure why there was this shift to so many people either not using mics or staying in party chat, but I've definitely felt it since Xbone came out.

 
Having played a ton of Overwatch and Dead By Daylight, it's kind of funny to see the Overwatch community described as "toxic."

I'm admittedly not a high level competitive player in Overwatch, but I'm also not in DBD and with ~300 hours in each, there's just no comparison. I'm sure that as with most things, it's worse if you play on PC too, since it's so much easier to type messages to teammates or post-game, etc., but I never get negative messages in Overwatch. The most BM I've seen is the old "thanks" voice line when the team's about to lose.

Contrast to DBD where I've gotten dozens of messages and just about anytime I play as a killer, I'm expecting some salty reactions if I play well. At a minimum, other players just teabagging you, taunting you, extending the game for no good reason but to be a shit, etc.

playing DBD recently a woman playing as the killer sent me a message calling me every insult you can think of including "child molester" all because i escaped, along with telling me to kill myself

i played Call of Duty for years and never experienced such anger and hate

 
Which is better, ace combat 5 or ace combat 6? Definitely interested in AC7 and will buy digitally if it’s the only way to get BC game
I think a lot of people would rank AC5 above 6 but YMMV. Even though 6 is not available digitally for direct purchase, at least you can get a physical copy and it will still play on X1 through BC. For now at least, AC5 on PS4 is only available as a bonus with AC7.

I still would prefer AC7 on my X1X even though it oddly sounds a tiny bit less stable frame rate wise over the Pro based on Digital Foundry’s analysis. Just lucked out and got a AC5 code accidentally sent to me from Best Buy. And hoping they also get me AC6.

Sad that they didn’t optimize 7 to perform better on X when it clearly could have been better than the Pro. Not like it’s a deal breaker. Just dips below 60 FPS a bit more often.

Pretty sure the less usage today, is due to the past being so horrible. Just as you described.

When I do play a multiplayer game that has voice, guess what the first thing I do is? Mute the voice chat. I've found that the people using voice in game are the younger players, us older folks have had enough of the crap and mostly turn it off if we can, or mute people.

When I'm playing with friends... all bets are off. But playing with random people, STFU i don't want to hear you.

I agree about it being bad in the 360 days. Whether I played Halo or COD it seemed like it was full of 13 year olds cussing and saying mean crap to everyone. Nothing they said in itself bothered me, it was just the deluge and absurdity of it I hated. I have noticed almost no one uses mics or talks anymore in public matches which I think its the biggest cause for the change.
 
I play Overwatch once a week or more give or take. However i play in a party with a friend so I never see much toxcity. As others have said It's nothing like the 360 days. Since theres no team killing your good.

I hate playing with randoms in PUBG or Blackout because of team killing.

 
Decided to try and play through RE7 this week before RE2 comes out. The demo is getting such great reception I may end up splurging on it.

Started this morning and goddamn, I love horror games but RE7 is fucking scary. These games usually are tense and creepy, but this is a whole new level.
Ha I'm still working through my VR play through, It will get done eventually. Really enjoyed the game despite some of the new directions it goes in. It could use a few tweaks if they go in the same direction with 8, but I'll be there for it.

This clip I made still cracks me up

Mads Mikkelsen giving hope for more Hannibal. He's been in everything lately. I love it. We had a few big Hannibal fans here a few years ago.

Haven't been around in awhile (addicted to Switch and busy with work). I miss all of you, but my wallet is a lot fuller. Hope everyone has a great year.

I feel you on dat Switch addiction.

I've been conditioned for the past decade to buy games on Xbox for uniformity, achievements, controller, etc but I've been double dipping and buying alot digital Xbox games on Switch.

 
Just completed another Xbox 360 game, Pirates Of The Caribbean At Worlds End (have a birthday trade voucher I am going to use, so that is why I have been playing these older games).

I get that with games that are based on a movie there will be points in the game that are not in the movie, to fill out the game, but when the game has cut scenes that are different to what happens in the movie, that was annoying me.

 
Glad to hear that overall people don’t have too many issues with gaming/multiplayer toxicity. I guess my fiancé is just one of the lucky ones haha. Back to the original point/discussion, Overwatch is still plenty populated on Xbox as far as I can tell. Arcade is usually easy to get into depending on the mode, and Quick Play is usually fast as well. I personally have Skirmish turned off so I tend to sit at the menu a little longer when it does take a minute or two to find a game, but as others have said, never enough to complain. Plus as far as I can tell, there isn’t going to be any stop to the free updates, characters, maps, and events anytime soon, so there shouldn’t be any problem joining in next time there’s a sale.
 
So I have been playing the halo mcc collection for a few years now. Its a sad day I will be deleting it today. Seems kinda weird.

After the recent update it erased my progress on the Spartan ops. My son and I were on chapeter 9 on legendary. The last thing I had to finish on legendary. And its all gone.

I'd have to play them all on legendary again to get a 10 gamer score achivement. Ah. No. Sorry halo its time for us to part ways.

Are you certain you aren't seeing this known issue from the Jan update?

The team has found a bug in this update that causes Spartan Ops mission completion badges to not appear if they were earned in a previous version of the game (prior to the current updated build) or after the title is relaunched after they have been earned. The stats are being tracked appropriately and badges are awarded, but it's just that they aren't visibly appearing at this time. We are looking into a fix for this but wanted to inform players as this bug will be is in the January update.

Forgive me for not knowing but what's the countdown for?
 
Based on what dagolara said, it sounds like if you reinstall it you can pick back up where you were.
Or do you have a shitty capped ISP?

Yeah but that's a whole lot of download to redo. We have "unlimited" but get throttled down after about 50 gbs tha k God for vpn speeds that shit right back up lol.

Ill probably end up donwloading the damn thing again. Just to say I got them all done on legendary.....again. The only ones I'm not doing are the par scores and the speed runs.

The one that I have been wanting to get I just finished the other day. Win 500 multiplayer games.

Get to the ready to start screen and just download what you need

 
I'm sure it got buried in my frustration over AV equipment, but serious question. What color is the background on the settings screen? I'm paranoid that I calibrated wrong.

 
is far cry 5 worth it for $30? i just need the dlc to play already beat the main campaign...just not sure if it's worth $30 or not......my minds telling me no..but my body is telling me yeah..

 
Finally got my AC6 code from Best Buy. Pain in the ass but at least I got AC5 as a bonus on top. And with AC7, think I’ll have enough Ace Combat to last me for a while, lol.
 
I personally have Skirmish turned off so I tend to sit at the menu a little longer when it does take a minute or two to find a game, but as others have said, never enough to complain.
I started playing around season 5 and had no idea this was a thing. I have a tough choice to think about. Do I want to continue skirmishing so I can see if the enemy team is friendly and just use the sit/dance emote, just sit in spawn waiting for a match and 1 out of every 15 skirmishes actually fight/mess around? I don't actually do anything in skirmish 90% of the time but could see wanting it on for that one time every so often I want something besides my phone to distract me from the long wait time for a match.
 
Really wish NFS Carbon and Hot Pursuit were BC, don't want to play them on my 360
There's a couple of NFS games that are still available digitally on the Xbox 360 store. This means that their licenses haven't expired, so I'm really hopeful that they will make them backward compatible.

This was a rollercoaster. Thank you for the ride, lol.
 
Out of all the NFS games, I wish one of the Underground games would go BC. The others are good and know many may think Most Wanted was the best but Underground 1 and 2 were the pinnacle for me. Had hoped the Need for Speed 2015 would be close to it but no such luck.

Looks like the Underground games were delisted though or maybe they were never available digitally?

I would imagine your fiance being a woman likely has something to do with attracting more assholes on Live then most men/boys do.

I almost never game with a mic unless I am playing with friends.

Are you talking about the generic Xbox settings screen? It should be black, however you like that to be displayed. I usually have my brightness turned up due to manual flashlight button technology not existing in the future world of Destiny, so mine is more washed out.

The secondary/highlight color should be whatever you picked as your theme color.

That's what I was thinking. Mine is quite gray, but colors seem ok and I can definitely get blacks. I'll have to give it another go and make sure it's still right.
