  1. I hadn’t even checked the map until you mentioned it. It’d call it borderline useless. I’ve just returned home in the game after initial events so looking at the map I’d say it’s not meant to be a minimap like GTA or some Zelda titles where it gives mostly complete information. I think it’s purposefully a guideline of “this is the general area points of interest are in these directions, try to find them” type map. But yeah in terms of being useful in finding your way through a maze like area....it’s useless. Also, not technically a map, they didn’t indicate north. It’s really just a drawing. (props to whomever knows what show Ive referenced)
  2. They need to keep Splinter Cell at least semi tight and linear. Maybe adopt a more Hitman esque structure where you can have a lot of different options on handling a situation. I think the Open World aspect could work ala MGSV, but I also find MGSV to be an overall weaker game of the series (for a lot of reasons but the world didn’t help). There’s also the fact that Ubiopenworld games are so damn formulaic. I’d feel like I was playing assassins-dogs-cry cell starring Sam Fisher.
  3. I’m stupid and will probably buy it twice.....er, second and third times. But obviously first purchase will be PS4. Switch will come much later if and when I’m feeling like playing out of home. Had it hit the Switch at the same time the choice would be a bit harder. Not much harder though. I’d like to support that version plus the portability is nice. And Sony isn’t possibly to lose the next installement if the remaster doesn’t do well.
  4. I take back what I previously said about 4K Blu-ray playback on the Xbone. It keeps darkening the screen at random now while watching The Last Jedi. Like it’s trying to enter a power saving lowlight mode usually reserved for when the console isn’t being utilized. It goes away if I touch the controller, or just ignore it for long enough 15 seconds to 2 minutes, but it might come back in 15 seconds or 15 minutes. Quite bizarre but I haven’t been bothered quite enough to attempt to fix it yet.
  5. You’re all on crack. Working the triggers literally makes my tendons hurts after a little while.
  6. Have you ever held a Dreamcast controller for hours at a time? Be glad to play it on non original hardware.
  7. Sweet, can’t wait to go drive some forklifts.
  8. https://m.windowscentral.com/how-hide-your-email-address-xbox-one-dashboard Its a pretty boneheaded decision. I don’t even see why it’s an option much less defaults to showing it.
  9. Pi oi I mean oi oi Because Tyres js the best character jn Spaced. And Brian is secoda best. Lesfy work wearly. Like 11:15 instead of “only gor the only for the hardcore UK Raver” ( spaced quote) then went to a deadish bar drank a few great brews had some laughs with the bartender. Made freindsos with a buddies girl. Then we went to her house to keep drinking. For a kiddle school teacher she s pretty awesome. Non joking I dainf said if it don’t work out werebkeppkng her and gettinf rid of him. It was a good night. Got home bout 7.
  10. I disagree, it’s still slow even on the X in my experience like loading pictures or the store items, and my internet is quite speedy. There are some bizarre decisions about it as well. Displaying your email on the dashboard, having to go past Mixer, and like 3 other categories to get to the store. Back to saying good things though, I’m off nightshift after tonight and have a 3 day weekend so I’ll probably fire it up and partake in some backwards compatibility. I’ve been wanting to play Black again
  11. Correction, we’ve had positive posts! With exception of HoTs lack of playing The Witcher....
  12. I suppose I’m not the best for anecdotal Blu-ray viewing opinions but I honestly think the Xbone did just fine with 4K. Blade Runner 2049 was fucking beautiful, and Watchmen was also quite good looking. I didn’t rebuy Fury Road though, and that’s the extent of my 4kBluray experience. Now on to the other thing you mentioned...@Hero-of-Time, you bolded Jade Empire and Kotor 2....don’t those earn your immediate ire on account of being western RPGs? Anywho I’ve thought about this just the other morning, and it’s not OG Xbox but it does fall under BC. I would really enjoy the FEAR games being made available for BC. Or even remastered into a triple pack budget release. They were all fairly competent and fun games and hell the original even still holds up graphically in some ways.
  13. Fuck yes
  14. Shoddy list? I lurv me some Morrowind.
  15. Yikes. I want to like it, but it feels too Michael Bay for a Star Wars film. And I feel like the casting is quite odd, Donald Glover and Woody Harrelson in a Star Wars movie.
  16. Goemon themed Panchinko eh? Dunno why you’re excited about that.
  17. Also of note that HoT did not list is the free release of the Phantom Dust remake. I semi count that as being OG Xbox
  18. You have a gaming PC also don’t @Shorty? If so I’d say that limits the potential of the console some as many of its best games are also on PC. Rare Replay Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5 are the ones that stand out most to me as only being available on the console and worth playing. If you don’t have a gaming PC there are still a number of other titles worth playing that elevate the console above just getting a standalone 4K player. The BC does work well though and there are some rarer titles available I believe.
  19. That Samus would make a nice tattoo.
  20. Ahhh. Slide down while hanging upside down. You threw an upstairs in there and that quite confused my drunken mind.
  21. I said in my post the forums ate for sustenance that the roadmaps dont line up. Navi is 2019 earliest. Which directly contradicts their 2018 possible release. So while they have Duh style predictions they’re not fully thought out predictions.
  22. I’m super duper pissed that I typed a long and thought out post (plus a bit of copy pasta) and then the forums decided fuck me they can’t find the location I wanted to reply to. Ugh. Maybe tomorrow.
  23. I debased myself enough to click that link. Off of that first post with a small summary all I can truly say is DUUUUUUHHH. They’re hitting it out of the park with easy predictions, what next they’ll leak that the graphics are Vega based and use Rapid Packed Math?
  24. I’m sorry but...what?
  25. I was under the impression that consoles could utilize both methods at the same time. Install from the disc while simultaneously downloading further data. I could be wrong though. Unless something has changed though I thought Internet was not required. I.E. perhaps try disconnecting the console and then attempting the install. Another thing to keep in mind though is that Doom has received a number of substantial updates. There will be a fair amount of data not present on the disc. Edit: @Josh64 http://www.ubergizmo.com/how-to/install-xbox-one-games-faster-xb1/ It’s an older article but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft has not addressed the issue yet. Basically even with Discs the console (used to?) default to downloading the data regardless.
