Less competition. Now there's a new FPS/online shooter every other month.

Party chat didn't exist back then, neither did COD*
COD 2 did, but that was more of a Curio as a good WW2 in an era of endless WW2 games

The next two days? Why wouldn't they have the rest of this week and next, you know the actual month?

Im thinking because the monthly backwards compatibility lists have been released around the 17th-21st previous.

But they have already said that is no longer the case and they will release games when they are ready.
Because on Thursday it'll be 4 weeks since last months update when they said they'd release when they're ready. Giving them the rest of the month will be 6 weeks, when the others only had ~4 weeks each. Would you rather I edit it to 4 weeks instead of a month? lol, the point is still the same and I figured most people would know what I meant when I said month.

Perhaps it would make things more clear if he used the "30 days" rather than the word "month", keeping the delta between releases equal for comparison purposes.

I mean, if you mean one thing probably shouldn't say another...
I still don't see how reading it as 30-days is a valid criticism, I mean again they did switch to when the games are ready so the time tables can't really be compared too closely.
Sure. I still think it's hard to compare. Since they have moved to "whenever they are ready" that will naturally throw off the volume released by X days from last month. Just seems strange to count days between months as if that's any sort of metric. They are obviously taking their time more with titles, given that Red Dead is certainly playable yet still being tested.
A month is 4 weeks, which is what I said and meant? I never said December/January or February's list.
Anyways not going to argue over stupid stuff, 672 hours, 28 days, 4 weeks, a month, take your preference and pretend that's what I said.

You are aware there is literally one month out of the year that is 4 weeks long, right?

The PC version with DSfix can't even do that 100%, so I'm not holding out for that on Xbox One
Agreed. I am wanting hop back into it as well.

But private chat came with the Xbox 360 in 2005.
That was only you and one other person, though. I hardly know anyone that used it.
If > 2 people wanted to talk to each other, you had to be in Halo 3, together. After party chat, the "social friction" to play another game while talking to those same people went to near zero.
Yea, when I heard about the issue I was skeptical, but I saw this on a Reddit thread.
After I did I went in game myself on both the 360 and XBO on the same screen, and confirmed they were subpar compared to the 360 version.

AFAIK the emulated version is actually using the assets from split screen for some reason, be it performance or a bug. Apparently it looks identical to the split screen mode on a real 360.
Now THAT is interesting. The controls are a lot less responsive and it also seems to have a lower framerate, which is super frustrating.

My Viva Piñata save won't transfer to the cloud. And I had one achievement left
Can't you use an USB flash drive?

The thing I'm worried most about is actually not the frame rate, but how using a fast attack will be.. The right bumper on the Xbox One is way more clicky and difficult to press, especially with the older controllers... and I use the fast attack A LOT

I played it with the older xbox controllers for a while on PC before, and I didn't think getting an attack out was a problem, but holding up a shield was really, really uncomfortable from what I remember.
I'm almost positive you can't.

I guess MS confirmed it is coming to BC:
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/dark-souls-xbox-one-backwards-compatibility-offici/1100-6434825/
But I don't see a date for it, is there a date for it yet? I'm hoping to find a code for cheap in the buy/selling thread as I am pretty sure I didn't download it when it was GwG.
You can't, you can only load from the cloud on Xbox One BC games

You get used to it. I played Dark Souls 2 on PC with the old controller and it was actually fine. Was worried at first.
Just clicks a lot

I know with the Elite controller, you can remap buttons on how you seem fit.
Can you do the same with the regular controller with the Xbox Accessories app?
I'm playing Dark Souls 2 on PC at the moment with a normal Xbox One controller and I can honestly say I personally have no issues with fast attacking / blocking / dodging / heavy attacking etc etc.
If anything it feels a lot more responsive to me.

Dumb question. I own Gears 3 on disc and want to play it tonight on my XBO. I have not inserted the disc into my XBO. Is there a way I can go to xbox.com now and tell the system to grab the required data and install it on my XBO so that I do not have to wait for a lengthy download tonight? I do believe my XBO is in low power mode.

Seriously? When has something like this ever worked?
Actually there was a point when you could download an entire xbox one game when you had the disc

Yeah thats what I want to play. Zombies with some friends.
Hope it releases soon.
Nope. You just had to have recently run the game.
On the old dash, if there was a game in the recent list that was not installed on the system, if you tried to launch it, it would automatically download and install the game data.
At that point, the launch would fail because you didn't have an account license or console license and no disc was in the drive, but all of the game data was there.
