The Microsoft Xbox Thread

Sounds like a total headache to try and play games made by Beth on the consoles. I still remember the Fallout 3 / Skyrim on the PS3 bs they pulled off back in the day…

I just bought Prey and can confirm it’s a solid 60FPS. Goddamn so smooth. I don’t like Skyrim and F4 bored me to tears. If I never see Preston again it’ll be too soon LOL.

I might try Dishonored pretty soon, I don’t really care for that era (AC-esque) IIRC.

My SX right analog stick started drifting the other day. I’ve never had a controller drift in my entire life. WTF? I RMA’d it and ordered a blue one. Goddamn QC sucks.

I play inverted (Halo gave me that problem which I have never corrected) so the controller looks up (which is normally down)

@Euler13 how’s your OEM controller?

I think it’s a case by case basis. I’ve been using a Custom Controller for little over a year now and haven’t had any drift issue.

Yeah my XB1X controllers work great and have been dropped unlike the shitty SX one. I RMA’d it and ordered a blue one, coming tomorrow :rofl:

Fucking Microshit.

But I see that the Dualsense has the same issue.

I haven’t had drift issues so far, just the disconnect issue twice where I had to do a complete power cycle on my Series S to resolve.

So far mine has been okay, and I’ve really been hammering it. Literally! I’m currently many hours into Kingdoms of Amalur The Re-reckoning.

On another note, I have mixed feelings about the Share button on the new controllers. The number of times I’ve hit it by accident and taken a pointless screenshot! :grin: I don’t think the quick press can be disabled, but you can customise it. For example, I’ve changed the hold-Share to start/stop recording. That is very useful.

As an Ultimate member, I’m playing cloud gaming (beta) on my PC. So far, so great. BTW, I’m CasualHitman483.

MS had inventory a half hour ago. I scored another SX and I’m just selling it to my friend at cost. I didn’t think it would go through :rofl:
