hells to the yeah fam. Gonna play this at work when I should be doing other things.

Same! Haven't played Remastered yet and the Final Fantasy XIV triple triad isn't as good as the real thing.

Very nice, getting close to having everything there. XII Zodiac age next?

That and X/X-2 HD Remaster have got to be next, they've been hinting at it too.

Both got One X Enhanced and neither have released physical copies outside the states, so I've been holding off for the GP release.

Go Go Neo Rangers!

Card game in 8 by far my fav. I started 9 but was a fucking idiot and did the achievements for under 15 hours and jump rope master and it fucking killed my momentum in the game. Luckily the cheevos in 8 are not nearly as time constrained.

I am not being able to find Dragon Quest XI on Game Pass website (and can't check on the console right now). I am not sure if it is already released, but I remember seeing it there before. Did something happened to this title on GP?

It's out on GP on 3rd December, but it is available to pre-load now via the console - maybe the App.

Yes, Microsoft Complete Protection Plan is available to purchase up to 45 days after getting the console.

As for FH4, absolutely should not be slow at all, at any point. I recommend a fresh install directly to internal. In general I'd put all X/S enhanced titles on internal, including those getting a patch in the future like Halo MCC and The Witcher 3.

Hmm about the warranty cool thanks... i just went to the devices tab of my Microsoft profile (Holy crap i have a ton of Xbox consoles registered going back in time) but i don't see how to add the warranty. It shows me the info on default 1yr warranty but i don't see a way to extend it? If you know how or figure this out please let me know :)

Also

Has anyone gone through the process of updating their Astro A50's yet so it will work via USB? Do we just plug them into our PC to update? About to go research this, hopefully it is painless..

As soon as I arrive home I will take a look in the console. I can't find it in the Xbox Gamepass Android app either.

Ya this seems to be a problem. I'll just quote my post from earlier. After I deleted the "updated" gears 5 and just redownloaded the whole thing it worked fine.
This worked for gears. Not dirt 5. I noticed though that there were still copies of series x games on my external. I deleted those and am re-downloading them to my internal SSD.

I'm seeing some similar issues on mine... was happening with MK11 but once i fully deleted, re-downloaded, and then transferred to the internal it's ok now.

hoping Fallout 4 comes on gamepass soon. I figure it's pointless to buy it for xsx given that it coming to GP has to be inevitable at this point

Someone in the PS5 thread mentioned that their Series X got loud and hot in horizontal position, they didn't mention if they put the thing in a small boxed in area.

Does anyone else have it in horizontal mode and is it getting noisy?

For anybody who is interested, yes this has auto-HDR and yes, it's gorgeous. Only loaded the first couple of screens, but I saw some nice use of it on the feather/fire in the opening FMV and through the window in the infirmary. It also has the "white logo issue" that some people mentioned in previews. I didn't notice anything off with dialogue, which is white by default, but I guess mileage might vary?

After seeing auto-HDR wasn't used on Sonic Adventure and Grim Fandango, I was starting to think it was off on older games by default. But I was happily wrong, and continue to be impressed that this is system level and as good as it is.

I have it horizontally and in a relatively small space. I haven't heard it once, and I've been muting the TV occasionally at heavier scenes to try and get some reaction off it. For context, I could hear my relatively quiet dishwasher two rooms away, but not the Series X.

Some visual quality dropped from the One X quality mode, but solid 60fps and instantaneous load times even it out. Game still looks amazing and Microsoft say visual upgrades could be coming anyway (and SSAO, at least, will be patched in)

yeah, this was an outsourced upgrade. which explains the strange decisions with the optimizations.

Trying to download my 360 profile on Series X is harder than on any previous console. Why the hell is this so difficult? Christ... Takes fucking forever. And then there's an error.
 
Has anyone had the clicking disc drive that has popped up on Twitter in a few places? Seems like the videos always show the XsX horizontal. Wonder if that’s a factor.

That's what i was looking for, thank you!

***I say that and then go looking through the links in that page and see all sorts of Microsoft Surface Complete warranties but not the Xbox one anywhere. May need to contact a support person i guess.

Yesterday I played

Dead or ALive 6 - The 4K 60FPS is very nice but it still drops just a little on a couple of the stages. Somehow the visuals look even nicer too. Don't know if it's the texture filtering or what but the characters look much cleaner, no jaggies, and textures on cloth are easier to see.

Screenshot from console degraded the aliasing some. Anyway I would suggest people to try it out since the base game is free and it looks extra crisp now.

Blue Dragon - It looks a little better than I remember...maybe, it's been a while since I checked. It could still use some help from BC team to look way better but I'll probably give it a go now.

Mad Max - Input lag is still there. Seems than before, hard to say if I just like the console more or if it really is better. It has auto-hrd and doesn't seem to be too distracting.

Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris - This game played horrible on the Xbox One X. It's now... playable on the Series X. Still some frame drops in complex locations but MUCH improved. The loading times are wayyyyy better and it actually feels playable now.

Sekiro - Yeah feels perfect.

Shenmue - With auto-HDR. Ryo: "This is cool!"

PAC-MAN - In HDR, looks good

Asdivine Hearts - One of those Kemco 16 bit style RPG's - no improvements, it still looks bad scrolling through the levels at 30fps. Wish my TV had VRR, maybe that would help.

Final Fantasy XII - The HDR helps make the starting area of the game a bit more colorful. Doesn't seem distracting yet but would need to play more.

Final Fantasy XIII - Wow the HDR in this is really crazy. I might not recommend it for a first playthrough but it really looks cool. I might do another casual playthrough just to look at all the environments. Game is looking almost as good as Godfall.

Filled up storage overnight and ready for more.

Welp... I checked my Wife's Microsoft account and sure enough we received one that was supposed to go to someone else. Remember earlier in this thread i was asking if anyone else got an offer for All Access they could claim when setting up the machine? Pretty sure this is why. The serial number doesn't match what she received at all. Tried reaching out to the online chat agents but no one responded. Not sure what to do here... I could just register this one under her account but it wants us to activate All Access on it... and will it be eligible for the warranty extension? Arghh i dunno
 
Who's been using console streaming and /or xcloud?

So we only have one 4k TV in the house which is in the living room so that's where I set it up. However this means that it's the TV that gets used by everyone else often. Partner, kids etc. So I can't game on it as often as I like.

So I've been taking advantage of my controller clip, Xbox app and console streaming. Partner wanted to watch TV so I carried on my SW fallen order game. When the movie finished I toon my controller to bed and continued the game there.

Partner probably not too happy but this thing is amazing. I tried xcloud in the beta when it was free but I did find it a bit laggy. I'm having no issue with console streming to my phone though.
 
The dashboard is very quick now isnt it :) Would be cool if they added custom themes/wallpaper to profiles, some of those selections are a bit meh imo although I’m glad they finally did it.

A dynamic theme maker app too in a future update.

Jez Corden said 2021 perhaps for a update to achievements, long over due and I hope they finally separate DLC achievements like PSN does with trophies.

1: Tetris Effect is gorgeous, utterly absorbing in a music/visual/zen sense, and you should go get it off GamePass right now.

2: I don’t have a Series X yet. It’s kind of given me a new perspective on the ‘reduced generations’ thing, that I can still play this, Dirt, all the latest games, and not be left out of the conversation.

I’m not saying I’m an advocate, but it just did make me appreciate what they were going for a little more. I can imagine being a kid again, sans spendable money, and being stuck like this, and yeah.

The Valhalla comparison thread somehow ended up being even more embarassing than I
expected.
"Wait and see. Sony will click a switch soon, and loading times will drop to a quarter. Its coming Xbots. Tick tock, tick tock."

"Devil May Cry has one unoptimised mode that runs better on PlayStation and Assassins Creed seems to have parity. Guess we can write off every advantage Xbox has. We did it, Reddit!"

If girls really can smell desperation, I bet there's not a single one within three miles of Neogafs servers this week. You'd think the usual suspects would be happy, but they've skipped that and gone straight to nervous gloating.

Getting real tired of this "gotcha" console warring every time DF or NXGamer does a comparison.

When the DMC5SE DF comparison came out, I got this DM, completely out of the blue:

🤷‍♂️ not really but thanks for thinking of me

What is actually wrong with these people? Do they have so little in their lives?
