Topic: General Xbox Series X|S Thread

@NintendoByNature definitely get gamepass ultimate if you have kids saved me so much money my series x is filled with games my son plays because of gamepass

@Meehanuk_1987 sweet deal, I'll grab it on Xmas day. I think it's $1 for the 1st month, then regular price after.

are you talking about a seagate storage expansion or a HDD? Right now I have a 1TB HDD where I out all backward compatible games (including Xbox One altough some of these I love to infernal storage when playing to have quicker load times). The seagate's are fairly expensive, if you can buy a 2TB as some of the AAA can easily go 100GB+. I am now thinking about getting the 1TB as I found them at 160€ in one place

@Balta666 I'm just looking to expand my storage, since I have the series s.

@NintendoByNature ok, to be sure you have seagate expansions at 512Gb, 1Tb and 2Tb that retail for 150, 250 and 450$. However you can have a hard drive to keep all games at a cheaper price but you cannot series exclusivas from it.

@Balta666 here's what I saw, but not sure if this would work?

Seagate Game Drive for Xbox 2TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD - USB 3.2 Gen 1, Black with built-in green LED bar , Xbox Certified, 3 year Rescue Services (STKX2000400) https://a.co/d/6Anedu3

@NintendoByNature that is fine to store games. Current gen games saved on that drive will need to be moved to the internal storage in order to be played.

First day experiencing it all since we were saving it to open on Xmas. How does the rare replay thing work? I see the rare icon, then I saw 2 versions of some games on the home menu too that need to be DL'd.

@NintendoByNature All 360 versions of games need to be downloaded, everything else is on the disc. So basically games like Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Kameo, Viva Pinata and so on need to be downloaded.

Is there normally a digital Xbox game sale on boxing day?

@Clyde_Radcliffe Not 'usually' but there is almost always games on sale and they tend to change 'weekly'. Also you'll get 'special' sales - like January sales, Publisher sales, Black Friday, Halloween Christmas (which includes Boxing day) but not Boxing Day specifically.

Boxing Day sales are more a UK thing as Christmas isn't the 'Same' in the US. Their 'equivalent' is more Thanksgiving as its not 'religious'. I'm sure they'll have a New Years sale coming up but there are always games on Sale...

Something just started happening with my series s. We just got a new TV for Xmas, and for the first few hours of playing of playing on it everything was fine. Now, I can't get audio to work on the new TV. When in the apps such as Netflix Hulu etc( outside of Xbox homepage and on Google TV homepage), the audio is fine. But it's only in the Xbox homepage and in game. I've restsrted the Xbox, unplugged the TV, went into different hdmi ports, and went into the audio setting of the Xbox. I can't seem to figure out the issue. Any suggestions?

@LtSarge gotcha, thanks for the clarification.

@NintendoByNature Did you try different cables??

@Tasuki I didn't. But these are brand new cables, so I'd be surprised if they're faulty. I will at least try that though.

@NintendoByNature check the TV output sound options in the Xbox settings to see If something works

Thanks! I'm hoping for some of the older Sonic games to go on sale in January like they did this year.

Couldn't find an unpopular opinion thread or a Resident Evil thread. But, I have to say, I just played through both 2 and 3 Remake, and I really liked 3 more than 2. I can't put my finger on it, but it was just more enjoyable and the environments felt more alive than that of RE2R. Nemesis was way cooler than Mr X. Better boss fights, more ammo, and that hospital holdout with the hordes of zombies was great. Loved it way more than 2.

@NintendoByNature I think the reason why people didn't like RE3 Remake is because they keep comparing it to the original, which had more content. But just because a version has more content doesn't necessarily mean that it's better. It all depends on whether the content is good or not. I've actually played the original RE3 on PS1 and I'm aware of the sections that were cut out in the remake. In all honesty, they didn't feel like anything special. I genuinely thought they ruined the pacing because you think you're at the end of the game, but then you have several more areas to go. While I haven't played RE3 Remake, if the game ends where I think it ends, then I think it's for the better.

Out of curiosity, did you go into RE3 Remake knowing nothing about the cut content?

@NintendoByNature While I still highly enjoyed the RE2 remake, I actually liked RE3 Remake more than it as well. I found it simply more fun to play through. I guess it didn't hurt that I never played the original, so I could care less about the cut content, but it was a lot of fun regardless.

I also thought Mr. X was, while a fine villain, really annoying and cheap at times. I'd manage to get far far away from him in the police station, to the point where it would be impossible for him to find me at all, and he'd magically appear shortly afterwards even though he should have no idea where I was. I also thought the ending was lame, at least for Claire (I never beat it with Leon). It definitely gave me the feeling of "that's it?" after all she went through leading up to the end. I found RE3 Remake to be a nice balanced experience.

@LtSarge I heard about the cut content back when the game launched, but i just recently got an Xbox, so this is my first time with 3( original included). The games pacing felt perfect in this one, and I'm happy with the way the game shaked out. I can understand if players played the original and stuff was cut with the remake. But for me, coming in fresh, it really didn't bother me much.
@KilloWertz I played with Leon, and while I liked the story for the most part, I really liked how 3 played out. Not to mention, all those tie-ins to 2 made it all the better. Same happened with me and Mr X. He would just pop in out of nowhere, right when you were where you needed to be. Which made traversal a chore at times. Plus, half the game being spent in the police station kind of got old for me. It was great at first then I was ready for it to be over with well before it was.
