XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

[Ricky D]

How did you guys like Forza? I was looking to pick that up so I'd have something else to play on my One other than Titanfall for the next 8 months until Halo: Whatever and Sunset Overdrive drops, but seeing a couple of yall say you're trading it in has me worried.

Spoiler

Run on sentences

Lack of tracks made it feel repetitive IMO. Beautiful game though.

 

[carver]

Use the 7 days at gamestop like dj said lul

I like but man the lack of tracks hurts it a lot.

Horizon 2 is on the horizon

 

[blackboyfly]

Thanks bruhs. I might just do that with Forza. Plants vs Zombies looks fun too. But I'd prefer something other than a shooter.

Won't get my Xbox from Amazon until the 11th but you guys can send me a request on Live. Blacktigra007

 

[jayfiend]

Apparently there are no request, you just have to follow people or some crazy nonsense like that.

Is that going to be fixed with the patch?

 

[carver]

Nah it's supposed to be like social media to follow people and they follow you back lul

Edit: For example.. If I add you right now you'll show up on my list under "friends" and on yours I'll show up as a "new follower". Then if you add me I'll show up on your friends and you'll show up on my followers.

Since youre getting titanfall for free, id also download the free version of killer instinct, and something likeStrider, spartan assault or Max:Cb and boom. You got 3 games for $15. That should last you until a bunch of the indie stuff starts dropping later in the month. Then GwG starts in April

 

[blastercombo]

KI anyone?

 

[Stay Lowkey]

Man strongly considering copping this Titanfall bundle..

 

[hoosiergunner]

Anybody play Forza? My GT is hoosiergunner, I'd like to get more people to run with since its the only X1 game worth playing for the next 11 days.

They did add 1 new track for free and its a good one, Road America. Online multiplayer is fun, but I agree that the lack of tracks makes it a bit repetitive.

 

[shottadru]

So you've basically never used PS online lol. K

Ive owned both 360 and PS3 and seen little too no difference. Some games are a little more stable on one or the other, but thats just developer stuff.

What exactly did you experience?

Laggy not as user friendly I'm not bias y'all I was all PS until halo 2 played online and changed my life. After metal gear I never touched my ps3 again it's sitting in a closet now

How could I make a judgment if I haven't ? It's not the same that's y u r here on this thread.

I might just have to trade in Forza and BF4 for TF. Maybe even Madden and 2K. COD and FIFA are the only games I'm running right now.

Is Best Buy offering good value for trade ins or should I just hit up GS?

I'm gonna need that TF controller too. And a new headset. SMH.

 

[putting in work]

If/When I get the XB1 I'd probably buy most of you guys games.

I got about 60 for Forza and cod

 

[seandon23]

I wish we could see some gameplay on the 360 to see the difference for Titanfall. When I got BF4 on the 360 it's easy to see the difference from the last gen to this gen

Can people still pull IPs and DDoS on these dedicated servers?

 

[shottadru]

GameStop giving extra for TF trade ins I got like 84 credits 4 2 Xbox one games

 

[carver]

Nice.. I've had my titanfall preorder paid off for a while now tho

 

[memphissfinest]

WAIT SO METAL GEAR DROPS ON THE 18TH? I'M GOING TO FINALLY HAVE A REASON TO DUST OFF THE PS4. I CAN'T IMAGINE PLAYING METAL GEAR ON ANYTHING BESIDES A PLAYSTATION.

TITANFALL IN HEAVY ROTATION WITH SOME METAL GEAR SPRINKLED IN

 

[franco23x]

Just pre-ordered TF from the Microsoft store online...

I get $10 gift card towards the Microsoft store on XB1.

Just wanted to show you guys what comes with the Xbox One Headset Adapter that gets released on the 9th. It basically allows you to use any headset that previously worked with the xbox 360 on the xbox one with chat. So for some of you guys that already have a decent headset there's no reason to buy anything other than this adapter.

 

[carver]

Is that a micro USB in the middle?

Also what is that extra wire up top for, don't we just plug our headset into the bottom of the adaptor

USB cable is for updating your controller firmware after the march 11th dash update, the adapter won't function correctly if you don't update your controllers firmware. The other cable is a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. 360 controllers used 2.5mm plugs for chat audio and the new xbox one controllers use 3.5mm.

 

[djyoung08]

When you guys say "any 360 headset" doesn't that mean only headset that use digital optical or the audio connector?

 

[mrdeeds]

Thats the thing, the new headset adapter will output game audio also so you could use a pair of earbuds that works with an iphone it should definitely work for game audio and should theoretically work for game chat since it has a mic.

So for example for someone that has a pair of astros, which currently work with the xbox one for game audio through optical all you'd have to do is hook up the cord that goes from the mixamp to your controller for game chat.  Alternatively you could take a pair of A40s and hook them directly into your headset adapter attached to the controller without going through the mixamp and it'll work just fine.

There probably will be a difference in audio quality since you aren't going through the mixamp.

I hope the illustration above explains better how the adapter basically can make any wired headset wireless to a certain extent.
