Is it worth buying MCC as its on game pass? Will MCC leave game pass like other games. If it will eventually, then I see it as worth a buy. But not if it remains indefinitely.
@FraserG My LG tv is regarded the same, but the XSX says it supports 120hz and it's labelled as 120hz on the hdmi port at the back. The LG website says 100hz. Talk to LG staff and they always say 100hz. They don't even know their own products.
He's brilliant. Plain and simple. I certainly bet the right horse here. No way has the blue team got the dedication and care for the community like we have.
@KilloWertz I'm getting about 48MB download on my PC, but the Xbox is up and down more times than a hookers underwear. Why can't it be stable? makes no sense.
@InterceptorAlpha Agreed, PC doesn't have this issue. This is a M$ issue with their OS. Still not fixed from the Xbox One if I'm right. If you care so much about customer experience M$, then fix this properly fgs. Never proper fixes, just workarounds :/
Wired.... I purchased both these games in December from the m$ store and refunded because of this corruption issue. I ended up buying the physical discs recently much cheaper, but still does it. It's not just me though. If you Google search about corrupted saves, you'll find it was/is fairly common. There was supposed to be a fix/update, but it did nothing for me.
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Immortal's Fenix Rising both give me (what looks like) corrupted saved games if I use QR. So I have to shut off quick resume every time I load them up. Games save fine after doing this. Have no idea why QR seems to mess up both these games ... and both from Ubi as well. Same engine too.
I see the friggin scalpers are quick at it again. Amazon uk doesnt have any for sale but the greedy bstards... £136, £146 and even £207. Pi$$e$ me right off!
I keep seeing my fellow raid mates sometimes skating around (no running animation). Hope it fixes that. Also had my longboat stuck next to a raid location last night. Couldn't move the boat at all and had to fast travel :/
I think we should have an option to turn it off. Both of the recent Ubisoft games I have to quit it, or the saves become corrupted or appear to be. I've also had some games crash or give me a total lack of signal to the tv and I have to have a hard reset.
At last, something I'm looking forward to. Let's hope it turns out good. Just had an email from the GoG website saying it's available to pre-order @ £31.99
Managed to go to advanced display settings and change my 4K tv from 1080 to 2560x1440. Same as my monitor. Only 30hz but better than nothing. Can do 2560x1600 too (highest).
I have 350Mbps broadband and get pretty much consistent 48MB ps on my PC. On XSX the speed is up and down more times than a yoyo. Normally in the range of 180-300+
Fantastic. Appreciate the dedication and loyalty to the community. I just hope more 360 games get green-lit. There's a few (F.E.A.R, Condemned etc) that currently don't work on XSX. So a bit disdappointed. Thank god I still have my 360 Elite. Maybe it's not possible for whatever reason. Shame when you consider how many games are out there. Trust me to pick troublesome games lol
Such a great bonus. Thanks Microsoft. My XSX purchase was well founded! Curious though. How can they achieve this without buggering up the physics? amazed!
Dunno about QR but I wish M$ would improve compatibility with older titles. I have loads of 360 games that simply don't work on Series X. That was a big selling point to me.
@StonyKL I noticed this too. It's not just you. Damn annoying you have to mess with the tv volume. Thought that was the whole point of using headphones.
Just picked up the 'Rare Replay' pack in the Estore. Brill value in the sale (£4.99). All Banjo games are there, Blast Corps and many others. Recommend everyone to get it if they havent already!
Never owned an OG Xbox, so would definitely be interested in this. As long as they do this right and not like the mediocre classic console reboots we've seen before.
@FraserG Many of my favourite '360 games don't even work on XSX (F.E.A.R, Condemned 2 etc) so this backward compatibility is a bit over-sold. I ended up bringing out my own 360 again. No word on if they're still working on improving compatibility.
@everynowandben Thanks for this info. I did find it and install it. Will it remain as owned on the XSX? I know a lot of titles will disappear eventually. Will this remain on your Xbox to download in months to come. I am an XBOX360 user, so this new Xbox leaves me a little 'behind the times' :0)
Just recently bought them all in the sale on the XSX. First one definitely. Second one was ok I guess.. but the third was seriously the worst. You could just tell by how it progressed that poor old Visceral had ran out of idea's. It also had EA plastered all over it... micro transactions, crafting and heavy on the action. EA's interference ruined the whole IP.
@SpottyBulborb Same here. Also, turned my XSX on the other day, and got disconnected a few seconds after the home screen appeared. Happens far to often. Didn't know it was a widespread issue till I saw this here.
Refunded this after the annoying corrupt saved game issue. Also effects AC: Valhalla. Will buy again when they can be bothered to fix it. Why is this issue not mentioned enough. It's wide spread enough.
I would of enjoyed 'AC: Valhalla' if it wasnt for the constant server errors and save game corruptions. 'Immortals: Fenyx Rising' gave the same issue. Refunded 'Fenyx Rising' but not yet for AC. Can't ring Xbox support.. no ones there and no online chat either. Wtf?

@FraserG If it's free on game pass ultimate, why isn't it showing as owned in my games list?

Is Dead Rising free if you have game pass ultimate? Game pass Ultimate replaces the basic Gold and it's free on Gold.
