As pretty much everyone else said, they should just let you use this party headsets; although, idk why this couldn’t work on series s. Obviously it would be a lesser experience but after having played vr with the Nintendo switch in breath of the wild, I would not mind if they bumped the resolution down a bunch to keep the framerate high. Most people wouldn’t care, but as someone who can’t afford a series x and would like to try out vr, I would at least like to be able to try it on my system.
I just have an external drive that I put an game that doesn’t require the faster storage. To find out if it requires the faster storage you just try and move it and if it says something then it won’t play off of it, but any pre series games work and surprisingly a few series enabled games work as well. For example master chief collection works off of the external drive
Most games (except for Nintendo’s) end up with deep sales a couple months after launch. This game will be the same and I see no reason to pay $70 for it.
Got Yoku’s island express on switch a while ago and it’s amazing. If you love pinball then this is for you as it’s a pinball metroidvania and the story, while not that deep, is still pretty interesting. Especially at the end. Also the music is pretty good.
They always make it feel so sketchy for the series s with these next gen upgrades. So far beyond framerate and resolution there haven’t been many issues in my experience, but I get nervous every time I see these. I hope that we never get to the point where the series s versions are comparable to switch ports
It’s pretty fun, the only problem is that no one plays it online. Of course that could just be a switch issue. The bots were a nice addition but I just don’t find that alone enough to play without other people. There is single player but that gets too hard in some of the maps. I’m also not that good.
I’m surprised that I actually got one. I have no idea what to spend it on though, I was looking to buy a game already so I may as well just use it as a five dollar discount.
Why didn’t Xbox just do what 8bitdo did with their switch controller? Removable, rechargeable battery that goes into a slot that can fit AAs. I feel like the worst part of it is how they still charge so 50-60$ for the controllers. Don’t say quality control cause my series s controller’s right stick started drifting after about two months of use. Granted I was playing halo infinite a lot and half of that game is the melee attack, but the controller should be able to handle being used.
I haven’t played much more than an hour of this game but I found it pretty boring. The gameplay is pretty slow and the combat isn’t that great. It all feels the same. The only interesting thing is the story, but it’s so padded out by the boring gameplay spots that I don’t find it very interesting. Probably just not my type of game, but to me I have so many other games to play that are a lot more fun than this.
The rundown is that there is a background matchmaking system that applies to everything (including ranked). This is largely dependent upon kills and once it gets high enough it just doesn’t go down. So if you played 30 matches of bot boot camp and did really well, then the game thinks that you’re a pro player and then you get matched with good players even in ranked. This will override your visible rank. On top of this at certain levels you will get matched with worse players because you should be able to care them according to the game. This is a huge, fundamental problem with the multiplayer. They are going to have to rework the whole system because of how bad it is.
It looks fine and since it’s 8bitdo I’m sure that it’ll be great; however, why in the world is this wired? The switch controller that they make is wired and it’s only 5$ extra. Couldn’t they have just made this one wireless and gone for $50. Cause does this even have gyro. From what I can tell it just looks like they have back buttons. Not much else special. Maybe I’m overlooking something. Also yes, I know about their software, but the switch controller had that too
I get all of the people brushing this off as “You don’t have to buy them all” and “It’s a first person shooter, why does it matter?” but the audacity of offering a color option for $20 is ridiculous. I think that 343 is doing a great job with this game. I’m enjoying my time with it, but how can anyone justify $20 to make your character’s armor white? That is just stealing money from people and everyone needs to stop making excuses for greedy practices like this.
Very unlikely, but it would be really funny: so what if they told people who they thought might be leaking things that the release of multiplayer was delayed, but then they just released it Monday to bring back the surprise of the event.

Re: Talking Point: Xbox Series S Owners, Are You Happy You Skipped Series X?
It’s alright, although lack of storage and some game devs opting not to try and optimize for it as much as the series x is annoying.

@iplaygamesnstuff You can honestly just wait a couple months and their games are already marked way down.

Re: Soapbox: Live Service Expectations Are The Issue, Not Halo Infinite
The problem is that the core gameplay is great, but everything around it is terrible. They just told us how their matchmaking works and it’s so bad. Here’s the article https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/closer-look-halo-infinites-ranked-experience
