Keeping low expectations, expecting the GTA5 remaster to be another half-assed job that the mod community already does a better job at.

@DrJamesOxford Cue the political dog whistles ...

summoning Elton John Caaaaaaaaaaan you feeeeeel...The Looooooooove...Toniiiiiiiight

Pretty smug response by the developer. I'll be sticking to SA for free on Game Pass. Pretty mixed reviews from the community on this trilogy. If you're going to do a remaster, do it right, or maybe it not price it the same as a fresh, original game.

This was the very first thing I did in the game. Kept pausing/unpausing the game throughout the intro trying to get this right.

Series X owner for all of six weeks, and they didn't give me jack.😂

Interested to know which system I should buy this for, PS5 or Series X. But the FREE San Andreas on a Game Pass is a good place to start! Expecting the resolution & performance to be equal across the board, so I wonder if proper of use of the Dual Sense would separate it...

@aj102404 I really hated the Duke, and I have average sized hands. But the D-pad was cumbersome, and the face buttons (A, B, X, Y, white, black) were small, oddly-shaped, and all scrunched altogether. When the controller S came out, I jumped on it.

Would it actually make Ride 4 playable?🙄

@SplooshDmg Ahhh! Didn't remember, I'm new again back in the Xbox ecosystem, so I didn't recall that news. That's great, although I would expect a delay.

Are we really expecting Starfield to be 2022? It's one of the reasons I bought a Series console. Or is 2023-2024 more rational?

Assetto Corsa Competizione on Series X, Tetris Connected, NBA Jam On Fire Edition, Star Wars Battlefront II ...

@InterceptorAlpha lol. When I started sim racing (3 months ago), I was considering learning how to drive a manual transmission. But I don't an actual car to really practice with. I've read online that many sim racers — that can drive a stick IRL — sim race without the clutch pedal, because games can't replicate the feeling of the clutch well enough, so it's easier to run without it.

@InterceptorAlpha That NLR is a good setup, I was deciding between that and the Playseat, but went with the Playseat because it's a little lighter, and the configuration/layout remained the same each time I unfolded it for use. But the NLR looks more comfortable, and can definitely accommodate a wider range of sized people. Also cool that you could add a flight stick to it, would have been perfect for when I had a HOTAS for MS Flight Sim, which was too hard to use so now I just use a controller.

Love my PS5 — it's like my first-born... But, man, am I glad to have gotten a Series X ...

@SplooshDmg The wife won't let me have a full-on rig in our living room (seems like a reasonable accomodation to me!😂), so I have haul my now-heavier & heaver Playseat Challenge up & down the stairs at night whenever I sim race. That, and the racing itself is definitely a workout!

@redd214 Yup. I have a Drivehub, which has allowed me to use my T300 on Xbox Series X.

@Halucigens I don't have this one (T248), but I do have a T300RS GT. Thrustmaster makes good wheels for the money👍 That said, if you're like me, always looking for a step better (I started with a Logitech, then upgraded to a Thrustmaster), I might hold off for Fanatec CSL DD, which is what I am waiting on now... But if you can see yourself happy & content with an affordable wheel for years to come, then you can't go wrong with a Thrustmaster!

Feeling like AC7 already, with the air force commander speaking to you while displaying 3D map briefings...

Good like, Ace Combat 7? Guess I'll have to give it a try.

I am one of those hardware sales for last quarter😁

What kind of required internet speeds are we talking about here? I have gigabit internet in theory, but realistically only between 200-650 Mbps ... Will that even be enough?

Wow my Series X purchase a month ago just gets better by the week

My PS5 has been very well loved & appreciated. But ever since I got a Series X and Game Pass last month, it is getting 100% of my play time. Glad I got many months of Game Pass, too.

@SacredPYRO Thanks, good to know👍

New to Series X ... Do these updates have version numbers? My Xbox says it is up to date, but a version number would make feel for sure about this.

EDIT: Nvm, found the answer on teh interwebs ...

I thought things looked sharper, cleaner — had no idea an install even happened while in sleep mode, lol.

Not downloadable for me; I'm in the US ...

EDIT: It is working. Although, it required me to delete my previous pre-loading install of the game (only 300MB or so), and re-download the game at the full 103 gigs...

Oof. With all of these FREE Game Pass apps, I've been having to do alot shuffling games around. Currently Quantum Break (86GB) is the game I have yet to get to that keeps getting the boot lol

I would be very interested in a VR set on Xbox, just for competition sake and furthering the advancement of these headsets. I enjoyed my PSVR, however I had to sell it due to repeated motion sickness. Would be nice if the tech got to the point where this was eliminated in most people...

Hope this doesn't have some negative impact on the future of Game Pass, like I've seen some suggest. I recently got back into the Xbox ecosystem and have been appreciating Game Pass so much because there are so many games to play & not enough time that are new to me or that I prefer to play here instead of on my PS5, that I bought heavily (many months into the future) into Game Pass ...

Was never a big fan of this UI or its aesthetic.

@ferret_75 That is an option🤔

@Barry_Biscuits Yes I could get a wired keyboard & mouse easily. But I need to go wireless.

@ferret_75 I do. But I'm not sure if I should clutter the living room even further considering I have a racing equipment already, the wife might kill me lol.

Can you suggest a cheap wireless keyboard & mouse? I might be able to stow it underneath the couch or something. Cheap, because Flight Sim will probably be the one & only game that I would use this for...

@themightyant This game was a system seller and major reason for getting a Series X to go along with my PS5. It's amazing how you virtually & literally have the world at your fingertips.

And I definitely agree, the UI is majorly frustrating! Clearly designed for PC mouse & keyboard...

Was lucky enough to land a Series X last week. Happy to be back in the Xbox ecosystem after skipping last-gen. Already I have filled up my SSD with 20 games, nearly all free from Game Pass.

One game I did purchase, however, was WRC 9, on sale for $12.49. But when I launched the game and found it had dodgy, erratic support for my racing wheel, I requested a refund, and in less than 2 minutes, Microsoft refunded me. This flat out would not have been granted to me on my PS5/4 — just look at how unplayable Cyberpunk had to be and the public pressure that was required for Sony to be fair to its customers.

While not perfect, and yeah, they are still just another big corporation — and granted they have been playing "catch up" to Sony for the past generation — Nevertheless, the goodwill towards consumers I have seen from MS in recent years I had really come to admire upon rejoining their ecosystem.

My refund experience alone was enough for me to buy future months of Game Pass ...

It would never happen because of licensing issues...but a dream of mine is either NFL2K5 or Madden 2005.
