Topic: The everything Xbox thread

Funnily enough, I was watching a HappyConsoleGamer video yesterday where he talked about games he was looking forward in 2017, and I thought how poorly the footage of Scalebound looked! Still a shame to miss out on a new Kamiya game. Fully expect him to sulk about it and not get started on a new project anytime soon.

Then go post on NeoGAF. It's obvious you have a control fetish and want people you disagree with to be censored. It sounds like a perfect community for you.

And I wasn't comparing this with TLG. I happened to reference it in a post.

Get a grip. Go outside and breathe some fresh air. It'll do you a world of good.

Goodnight.

@Shinion Alright, couple of things, replying to me once is enough, I get the notification, can't watch the forums 24/7 unfortunately. If you have an issue, you can either use the contact form on the bottom of the page, that's the easiest way to contact the NLife team. You can also hit the report button, which I see you've already done, so I'll leave it for another mod to judge the matter. Maybe I'm misinformed, but it seems you're not a stranger to provoking certain reactions either. At least, that is how it appears to me.

Anyway, I suggest we get back on topic in the meantime; Scalebound got cancelled, and as I said before, that's a real shame.

This is why I laugh when hardcore Xbox fanboys run around saying stupid sh*t like 'none of those Sony games have release dates.' We'll be getting those games people are talking about like God of War, Spider-Man, The Last of Us Part II, Gran Turismo Sport on PS4. We still have no idea what's going on with 3 and now Scalebound, a game Xbox fans were definitely hyping, is officially cancelled. I'm a big Xbox fan and this is disappointing news. MS' 2017 slate is not impressive.

Please don't dwell on moderating issues in threads, it derails the discussion - gcunit.

@Shinion I can't comment on those features, I'm just a moderator. That is something you could suggest to ant, but I don't think that's necessary here at all. You can always choose to ignore certain posts if you don't like them. That's what I do, I don't reply to everything either. In my opinion, it would also go against the idea of an open forum where people are free to discuss anything Nintendo and other gaming related.

Anyway, you report has been received, and like I said, let's get back on topic.

Kind of a shame to see so many of Microsoft's 1st party games get cancelled. Phantom Dust, Fable Legends, Project Spark (well, retroactively cancelled), and now Scalebound. Crackdown 3 had rumored development issues a while back.

i remember seeing the first presentation of scalebound back at some e3 and i thought "that is so random and just plain stupid". dragon? okay. idiot with headphones swinging a sword? WHAT?!

Bah, all this convo about a cancelled game, and I finally decided to look for Crackdown 3 gameplay, and... the most substantial footage I could find was in 2015, and I have to say, this is the first time that I saw the words, "Pre-Alpha footage" and said "No $#!+". Combined with some of the stuff they're trying to do, I'm not surprised it's taking a while. At the very least, I hope Microsoft gives it the time it needs to get things right, instead of cancelling it because it's taking too long.

Granted, it's still 1 of only...4 or 5 Xbox One exclusives that I'm interested in at the moment (Well, one one or two of them are also on Windows 10, but F*** the Windows App Store). It's pretty much just...Sunset Overdrive, Gigantic, Crackdown 3, and the Rare Replay. Maybe Killer Instinct if I like the old school ones. I never got to try the N64 game, so I can't really say whether or not I'd enjoy it. Mostly, I just care about backwards compatibility, in case my 360 breaks...

Can Microsoft stop cancelling half of their interesting games? kthx

Arceusdamn, that actually sounds cool.

@Peek-a-boo @Shinion

(a) Do not reply to this post. No discussion is necessary or welcome. Use the contact form if you want to give feedback.

(b) @Peek-a-boo - Your post was flaming and has been edited.

(c) @Shinion - Your level of butthurt for what was a rather tame flaming is excessive, IMO. If a post causes you concern then report it - once. If you want to follow-up the report then use the contact form. Don't start filling a thread with your butthurt. We (the Mods) process reports on an adhoc basis - spamming us with demands to deal with the report is not going to do you any favours and has contributed to others being banned in the past, so please be warned about that.

Now let's move on.

So... I just bought an Xbox One. Looks like I'll be selling it again soon (once I've played the two titles I bought it for - Rare Replay and Master Chief Collection). Microsoft do seem to make hash after hash with this whole gaming business they're in it seems.

God I hate pre-alpha footage. Thats not a thing industry. Alpha is when you start making the mechanics and putting them together into a game with the assets or prototype for show. Saying this is whhat the game is, might change a bit as its still being put together.

Pre alpha is paper on a desk.

I haven't used my Xbox One in ... probably about 6 months. I tried to turn it on yesterday to watch AGDQ on my big TV screen, and the darn thing won't turn on! I've checked all the connections, the power strip, etc. Absolutely nothing!

Any ideas what it could be? Honestly, I've tried all the logical stuff. I build my own computers, so I'd like to think I'm not overlooking something stupid, but you never know. But to me, it seems like the thing's just gone belly-up.

@rallydefault You tested your power supply with another unit?

@Ralizah I don't have another Xbox One unit to test the power supply with. Is that what you mean? Is there some other way I could see if the power supply is the issue? I think that could be the issue.

@rallydefault No friends or family with another unit to test it on? It sounds like it might be a power supply issue. I think you can order a new power supply on Ebay for $10 - 15.

Well, I think my playtime with Assassin's Creed III (360) has come to an abrupt end.

It's had a few freezing issues before (usually during certain cutscenes, and while it's annoying to do this, all I'd have to do is skip that cutscene to move on), but this time it randomly froze in the modern day hub area (as Desmond, in those ruins where they have the Animus set up), and now it freezes whenever I try loading up my save.

I suppose I could just try & start a new game, but after the issues I've had (and the potential of a similar game ending freeze in the future), I'm not sure I really feel up to it. It's a shame too, as things had really started to open up. I had literally just obtained the white robes after my last Connor mission (which was your introduction to ship gameplay), and side missions were starting to pop up, giving me some purpose to explore.
