@GamingFan4Lyf scalper buy one is not the issue its the bots buying hundreds off them, you can only return so much at walmart without a recipe when it comes to electronics as at least mine in jersey ask for your drivers license and enters your license number to prevent you from returning a lot of the same item....also a scalper using a bot isn’t going to want the hassle of returning thousands of dollars of things for walmart store credit its the reason why bundles take time to sell out while straight up x/s are gone in seconds...bundles stop the scalping bots from buying the whole inventory...i have also been told that gamestop will return the items if you dont want them...but you have to do it in person at store.
@GamingFan4Lyf the bundles are the only way to stop scalpers.....that’s why they are doing them right now.... a scaler doesn’t want to buy he extra ***** as it cuts into their profits....and just do what i have done...take that extra ***** and go to walmart and say you got it as a gift and need to return or exchange them(depending on if you use walmart and can use the credit.
@gollumb82 the other issue is i have most of my gamerscore for the game im playing....maybe ill have to go and play every gamepass game for one achievement each lol
ive had this issue several times just assumed it was Cyberbug that was causing the issue, as thats the only game i use the series X controller with everything else i use the elite series 2 ....ill have to see if this happens with the elite later today.
@Grot my elite one NEVER had drift and my father still uses it that controller the only thing i have ever had to do to it was replace the thumbsticks assembly as the magnet stopped working or came out or something the sticks didnt stay on anymore.
@Nexozi yea when i go to the website it says for 2 of my three controllers the warranty is only 90 days and they expired one 9 months ago the other 6 months ago.. the third one is in process to be sent out as of writing this...i double checked serial numbers and everything on their site and it says they aren't covered....but either way a 180$ controller should NEVER break in under 6 months of use....
@Grot i have 3 elite 2 controllers 2 of which are out of warranty and they wont fix it and they are under a year old.. the third is 2 months old and just started showing signs of drift, 3 elites all have the drift...cousin has a elite it has the drift...they are ***** controllers...meanwhile i have a dreamcast controller where the thumbsticks while worn still work like new no drift...same can be said of my xbox controller 360 controller and my ps3 controllers none have drift....they are made like *****...
@Dezzy70 honesty unless your waiting for money reasons the game looks and runs great on the series X as a back compat game...i figured ill play a second run through under corpo instead of streetkid when the official series X version comes out..,
as to DLC it betterr not come out befoe they fix the game for everyone and they should wait till the series X version is ready...i dont get companies releasing DLC before the game is fixed...same thing CoD cold war has done.
@NEStalgia anyone who paid double from a scalper is a idiot, im sorrry with the XsX if you had a xbox one S or one X there was no need to go and pay 1k for the series X it isnt that huge of a difference yet,..so far all the games on it dont look much better then their One X counterparts....so to pay double instead of waiting was just a idiotic thing to do and made the scalpers do what they do more.
@joeyflannel other then loading times and auto HDR ive seen very little difference between the two i have both...unless you have a tv thats able to do 120hz the upgrade wasnt really worth it. not yet at least.
@gollumb82 you obviously having played it then, Like a dragon is by far better then any otherr installment i have played and is My game of the Year and ill be honest while i enjoyed the others this one was great.
and at distance the only reason to do this is to say i did it...but at that distance that huge "sceen" was probably no bigger then a 19" sceen would be up close.
@CRANIAL your friend is a fool, the game just runs like ***** and the violence isnt any more then any other game...hell if anything the amount of violence is less then GTA and RED DEAD
@Murray gamepass is xcloud technically now..as you have to use the gamepass app to stream the gamepass games on android..they way ms is using it is gamepass dl if your on a xbox or pc but everything else gamepass is useing xcloud to stream your gamepass game... so in this instance gamepass on switch would utilize the xcloud parrt of gamepass and stream the games to the system which wouldnt require porting just a good wifi signal.
besides stupid bugs like not being able to run or select dialogue options(both require game closeing) the game runs fine on a oneX and great on a Series X i have both and played it on both...
if the base model is the problem just skip the whole gen then the base model xbox was garbage and a dog out the gate.... one S barely handles Cyberpunk from what ive seen, the one X which they discontinued (i think due to it being stronger the the Series S) handled cyberpunk fine if you used a SSD
@JON22 i keep telling everyone with this mentality that you will be spending in the end the same for a series S as a X as you will need that 200$ 1tb expansion card. 512gbs is not enough space only will hold 5 games max for the series X hell with all the upgrades coming to games out already i ran out of space and bit the 200$ bullet alrready for my series X,, get it for the space use the extra tv features down the line.
the would have released the game in that sad shape if fans didnt complain that the game didnt even look as good as halo5....With that said a fall 2021 release shows how bad off that game actually was!!!!! i mean we are looking at nearly 12 months more of developing time before release and who know it may get pushed again.
@themightyant i had that thought process originally but when i heard there is no date for next gen at all other then 2021 and that i dont believe next gen looks so much better yet...i have a series X and a One X and so far other then the ray tracing effects the games dont look much better....the load times are great though.
@carlos82 sad truth while there are no games really specific exclsuves to the next gen yet, alot of the older gamers are being updated to take advantage of some of the features on series X, my internal drive is almost full with Series x games and i have only bought two games since its launch.
@Tasuki nope one x has had crashed from it, when my series x did it i started playing it on my one x that i still have for my wife.. and that had the same issue but its very random one time i play for 5 hours no issues then another time it will crash after one game
@JoakimZ unfortunatly diablo 3 wont ever get a upgrade two reason, one not sure where they would upgrade it but the main reason is diablo 4 is in the making...
and just like that ive now decided to wait like i did for watch dogs 1&2 to hit the 20$ mark before i buy, now to head to the store to get Valhalla instead.
@StonyKL was never a issue back in the day....this is just a memory carrd like the ones we use to use in the gamecube xbox ps2 era and before...we have come full circle again... also the serries x would need a good hit to knock it overr the things bottom heavy and not a light plastic toy.
@Tasuki everyone doesnt want the competition to get a headstart....its been proven generation after generation, if you release a year behind your never going to catch up unless you have a really great piece of hardware that does something the competitor doesnt... example ps5 comes out and the series x didnt, your friends are more likely to get a ps5 which in turn makes it more likely youll get a ps5 to play the games your friends are playing....only console i can think of that this didnt work out fo was the dreamcast, and thats cause the ps2 came out little later with much better abilities like playing dvds.
@TheIronChimp i think sony kinda screwed up, and i think MS took em by surprise when they annouced 4 gens of xbox games in one place....i noticed after that anouncemenmt sony made sure you know you can play back compat with PS Now....a few things the ps5 cant do that the xbox can, Atmos(even the one could do that), variable refresh rate, 1440p support
@StonyKL i was thinking the same thing, as its not think enough for electronic smoke.. also electronic smoke has a yellow color to it most of the time...as we say when you release the genie from electronics they are dead.. also the first video who would have their xbox that far from the entertainment center especially in that messy room your just asking to knock it over...
anything more then 499 will be a failure 500 is the max i know i would ever pay for a console cause anymore then that i mine as well spend more and upgrade my pc
this was EA testing this on a less popular sports title... if nobody said ***** you can bet your ass this would have been in madden fifa nhl and maybe even need for speedin their next iteration
@Grot you must work at apple cause some of your arguments are just dumb techno blable....for instance xbox xcloud is essentially netflix for games...your not buying the games your just playing them like i play netflix or hulu, the only difference is that its more interactive....only reason for apple to block that is apple arcade....sorry but thats the truth to xcloud apple doesnt want competition to apple arcade..
also your 30% comment is just dumb its 30% for the first year cause most of the sales will happen in the first year... and 30% is not miniscule if so how bout you hand me 1$ for evey 3$ you make you make 300 total well give me 100 and you keep 200 thats just insane....
i dont see a problem xbox one and series x run on essentially pc hardware which is scale up and down depending on your hardware dont see why they cant just do that here.
@Savino i dont think Nintendo is out of the war they have just decided to go about the war differently, nintendo still NEEDS to sell games to make money, their nintendo online is and will be a joke till their next system.....they dont have a gamepass or even a ps+ style of subscription really, 20$ fo the yea and you get NES and SNES games "free" vs xbox and sony giving you free games every month....what im saying is Ninty still needs to sell systems to sell software just like sony the only difference is in their systems approach. sony has gone hardcore, and nintendo is trying to bring you into the fold with portable gaming and the option of gaming on the tv.... its still a war its just the two oponents seems to be trying different strategies...and then theres Microsoft whos moving towards a service and it wouldn t surprise me to see gamepass or project xcloud on nintendo switch at some time in the future, and that will be the move that has the series X being the last ms console and they will be a service this is just my opnion but if the series X doesnt sell well that will be their excuse to do services only.
this is all about apple arcade, they dont want a competing platform until arcade has taken hold, then and only then will you see them allow it unless the EU forces it.
first off owning a xbox 1x i wasnt getting a series X at launch unless its 399.99 reason is theres no point if the games are all on both systems and play together!!!! ill be spending my money on a ps5 at launch due to this strategy as i can wait a year for the xbox.,
@Dezzy70 honsetly i think this is due to the poor reception halo infinite got and the fact that halo 5 looked better....after the reveal someone from 343 said they had time that they would make it look better... ill bet dollars to donuts they decided to do what they can to make it look better...personally F the xbox one just make it for the Series X this is the one thing sony is doing right.
