XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

So maybe I'm reading too many bad article about people leaving and ign xbox one controversy. My girl copped me the Xbox one for Xmas as a gift and now I'm wonder if I should keep it. Everywhere i read is about it being crappy or games not working. I just want to play my sports games, the occasional gta or gat type game.

The console is fine. Only 2 games don't work. Asscreed and halo. All the other games I have work normally. GTA is still GTA. Madden is still madden

Both consoles were ddos'd on Christmas. Nothing you can really do about that

People complain about the onterface; It's getting an overhaul next month

People leaving Xbox means nothing really. There's a lot of Shake up in the new MS

Yeah everything that blake said.

But what happen with IGN and Xbox? I really hate that site now after the fast one they pulled with Halo.

Keep it fam. It's not a bad system at all. I've got both of the next-gen systems and like I always tell people I prefer to play my XB1 for now. I just like the Live community a lil more.

Like someone else said only 2 games kinda took an L on here and I'm sure playstation has an equal amount on there. All other games run fine and there is lots of good competition online.

For the guy who is trading in his 360 I say do it. I traded in my elite at Best Buy in early November for a 150 coupon towards XB1 AC bundle and haven't looked back since. Honestly I've bought more games for XB1 already than I did the entire time I had 360 so that says a lot.

I have a friend that can't stay connected online on GTA V. For some reason he can't connect to public servers or join friends.

Could it be his internet connection? Anyone have any insight on how to fix it?

Rockstar servers are ehhh.

Maybe it's his NAT type also making it a pain. Use that video to fix your NAT. I have trouble also with GTA connecting but play other games fine. Has this been an ongoing issue b4 Lizard Squad recent BS. Live hasn't been moving 100% still since the attack.

Dope streaming convo. Hopefully I get a new spot next year I can get my command station set up. I will be bothering you @DJYoung08 during that process. I already found my monitors and L shape desk. I have a Mac Mini I don't really use so hopefully I can use that to set up my streaming.

H5 is cool, very different I think it will def push away a lot of traditional Halo players but it's going to attract a crap load of COD players. It's kinda like a cop out, 343 is putting themselves on the same plane as other FPS with just Halo elements. I don't mind it personally because Halo is still a totally different experience from COD, minus the jet pack like movement lol. I

ll be copping but not preordering.

Home from work today so I tried out a match a few mins ago. Went 1-16 . My team actually lost 50-3. Gonna play it a bit more before I form my opinion but I can already say the default controls suck. Don't feel intuitive at all. Hopefully there are some better setups.

HALO 5 is pretty tight I like it.

Couldn't find any power weapons and these dudes had them on lock . And on the off time I did run past a BR or DMR I didn't even see it laying there since the graphics are all shiny and over the top :\.

ah I see I hope they get rid of telling us where power weapons are and when they spawn. That's really wack

Halo 5 beta>

Rustled jimmies inbound

Its only been a day but I really dont like the H5 Beta. I will keep giving it a chance but its just not what I want out of my Halo games. No hate to anyone who likes it though.

Spartan Chatter is probably the best new feature out of all of them, love the concept of it. Teaching people how to play Halo is important and should have always been a priority of the devs. This series has been out 13 years and theres people out there who still think the power weapons spawn at random, I shouldnt be hearing anyone say "I dont like the timers it should be random like it was in the old games" anymore. It was never like that in the old games.

Just knowing when the Sniper comes back isnt going to help Ninjakid12353 get the Sniper but hopefully it'll teach him how to set up around a power weapon spawn and how map movement works.

People not really knowing how to play the game effectively is why the games keep going through these radical changes and we have things like the AR becoming a true mid range weapon, more powerful, and having headshot damage. Why should the AR have Headshot damage when that niche is already filled by the real mid range rifles?

All the pointless stuff like "Nice assist, keep up the good work" and whatnot should be gone though. Weapon timers and callouts are all it should be used for.

Main thing I don't like about h5 is the ground punch

Blame COD. It will change the E Sports interaction of the game greatly.

I think that it's fire. Its like the retro charge in Gears. Annoying to die from, fun to kill with.

Thanks guys, ripped you all. Im going to unbox it today. IGN just had an article revising the xbox one and giving it like a 7 overall also had a most controversial xbox posts or something I will post the link below.

The little WWF intro to the game with the Spartans and the high fiving at the end is wack. I'm here to own kids not make friends.

Yeah I am happy to help with streaming. Not a bother.

Streaming is a lot of fun.

My viewer count wilded out so hard last night and said i had 135 viewers



Maybe one day

To date my highest viewer count is 86 which was really crazy

 

[djyoung08]

Streamed Halo 5 for about an hour last night... A few NTers came in and supported ... y'all are too kind.

Kept it moving to CoD after that and finally got what I've been grinding for:

AR MASTERY (complete all challenges on all assault rifles)

I dont care about the royalty camo though

I only wanted this diamond chest piece

Bro don't visit IGN anymore, site is ran by money not real gaming opinions. They did some real grimy ish with Halo and not speaking the truth giving it decent reviews also.

Thanks for the articles Imma check them out...soon as I get some popcorn lol.
