Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

Just search for your name in this thread, you only seem to like the dudebro FPS games (e.g. Gears).

Gears isn't a FPS. I also don't like Gears PVP at all and think the campaign is utter drivel. Try again.

Sniper Elite 5 due May 26th is day 1 on Game Pass, lovely news!

I'll be playing that when it hits GamePass

Series X still available on Amazon.

No need to get so worked up about it, there’s nothing wrong with liking certain genres over others and you don’t have to defend yourself.

To be fair you did use the term dudebro when you could just as easily have said fps

I've never heard of dudebro, I would assume you were being slightly derogatory by using it.

 

[Noxia]

Dudebro has been around for at least ten years, I recall seeing it back in PS3 forum days. It's not derogatory to my knowledge but I guess anything can get twisted if you want to be a victim.

Back to Tunic, that's definitely a game I'll be trying. Got a Series X last August, never had a Xbox before so there's loads of stuff on game pass that I've missed over the last few years.

To be fair, I'd never heard of "dudebro" either

So from a person who's never heard the term before it does initially come across as a derogatory term, but alas, I've learned something new today

Of course it was meant derogatory and to get a rise, that's what he does. Air of superiority since 2004.

I enjoyed Tunic personally, definitely worth a blast for the Gamepass owners.

Just picked up one of these! Love it . Way better than poopoopeepee Playstation 5!

I've noticed when cloud gaming or a game is synching. The cancel button is in a foreign language for some reason.

Also have the reward points changed? I'm sure there used to be more of them and the point value seem to have changed. Like there's no points for just logging into the game pass app now.

Oui, il dit "Annuler" de temps en temps.

And yeah, they reduced the points from two quests a day at five each, to one 3-pointer. But they reduced the number of quests for the 1000 monthly bonus as well so it should be easier to get that one.

Yes that's what I see! No idea why.

A positive change with points then I guess. Going to miss April's as I'm on holiday.

Here's a strange one. I loved the Series X so much that I sold it, and got a powerful PC to replace it.

It wasn't the only factor, but part of it was that the X has opened my eyes to how high frame rate modern games can feel, as well as what a difference FPS boost does to older games. Other factors include Discord / Sony Games on PC / PC gamepass being treated like a first class citizen etc. The kids still have the series S though, so the house at least isn't Xbox-less

Mentioning the French language on the cloud reminds me last month the Destiny DLC advert on the dashboard was in Italian for some weird reason.

I've got a odd problem today with my series X controller... with the headset adapter plugged in, when pressing the on button, it flashes once and turns off. The controller turns on fine with the headset adapter unplugged and an old controller turns on fine with the headset adapter plugged in. Anyone had this before?
