XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

[DROMONTANA]

2k is nice... but that battlefield 4 fire though. That refreshing feeling from getting tired of cod. Learning curve was frustrating at first and almost made me regretting copping but i stuck with it and ill be playing it for a while.

Dead Rising 3 was so much fun. Sitting on 52 achievements (875 gamerscore.. a couple I dont want to go for) and just waiting for the DLC to drop.

Walked into walmart last night and was surprised they had day one editions.  This is in Vegas.  My boys copped (at launch) to resell, one dude only came up $50.

My cousin copped 2K for the XB1 yesterday. Had a chance to play it and I was impressed especially with the feel of the controller. Told him since he as 2K14 also for the PS4 that I'll cop 2K14 for the XB1 from him for less than retail in a few weeks.

Tried to read as much through the thread as possible but I'm still a little confused sorry if these questions have been answered which I'm sure they have. Can someone just school me on what the deal is with the kinect and how it effects gameplay/use of xbox- Can i still get full use of the system without the kinect? Would those who have it say it is worth the price?quick pros/cons list? Thinking about flipping some of my shoes to buy it rather than taking money out the bank. Appreciate any help that is given.

kinect is a novelty to be honest, its cool being able to talk to xbox but its wears off after a while,my kinect has been off the past 3 days, i enjoy the system as a whole though, only problem ive had is controllers disconnecting while playing 2k but i think it was patched. still mad the controller came with aa batteries, shouldve went the ps4 (and3) route and went built in lithium imo.i love it though, ive had pretty much every console in existence except a ps4 and i have to say im enjoying this one the most right now

 

[carver]

Yeah I only talk to mine if I'm not near a controller. Most the times when I use snap it's just with the controller or any other feature. Or to turn on the xbox and switch to TV other than that I don't use it to often. System itself is cool though I enjoy the experience

So you don't feel as if you are missing out on anything by not running it with the kinect?

 

[djyoung08]

When i get in the house its cool to voice command the xbox to get some netflix going while im putting up my keys, bags, etc.

Camera is always covered.

 

[shottadru]

Im not feeling this thumb sticks for shooters. I beat DR3 that was cool and I like playing KI but im horrible on COD and BF compared to 360. The thumb sticks seem so fragile aiming. Does any one have a similar gripe with the controller? 

 

[shottadru]

When I watch tv through my xbox it doesn't seem as clear. Does anybody else have this issue or know how to solve it?

Fixed

I changed the HDMI cable and it was better. Try that. I googled from the Xbox Juan Help site for the same issue. 

 

[carver]

The feeling of the grip took a bit to get used to.. But I like em

I'm going to Best Buy in the morning and see what's up.

Is Ryse worth the $60+ purchase? Will I be on some gladiator type adventures?

 

[blastercombo]

One and done games are NEVER worth full price

Hit up Microsoft. You might be able to get a free game.

OK I'm done. BF4 is the 1st and last DICE game I buy, the whole server setup is ******ed, if a room is full why not dump the people into an empty room? They have games w/ 15-20 people in queues, then when you get to #1 you error out and have to wait all over again?! 

  Then to top it off, there are servers w/ empty slots but every time i try and join I get prompted to pay 50 for premium? Man **** EA **** DICE and **** BF4 

 

 

 

 

[swendro]

^ Those are China Rising servers buddy. The ones that say pay for premium.
