Topic: The everything Xbox thread

Only multi-disc game I ever had was Forza 4, which worked the same way as the third.

I just tested Lost Odyssey (4 discs) and it's just the first disc that's used as the license check.
It refuses to even launch if you use the 2nd or 3rd disc.
(that's before the point that the game loads your save, so it's definitely not related to what disc you're currently on, it's just that disc 1 contains the license check for the entire game)

Currently tuned in to take a look. Hoping we get a look at a new area, though I can fully understand if they don't want to reveal all the cities/towns/beauty spots in the game before it releases.

Can I just say FFXV is amazingly weird? I mean weirder than normal FF weird. It's just weird. Cool, fun, crazy.....a little bit Monster Hunter meets....IDK.....but definitely a strange game that I'm not sure if it ought to be called FF but is cool all the same.

But dang is it weird.

New locations will be on the stream. There's four streams across this month showing off the seasons and various other features. Forza Horizon 4 is going to be the greatest, by the sound of all this.
You'll need to be on their Mixer account for it, far as I'm aware, so mixer.com/xbox. Hopefully they also give the times for the next of these streams as well.

That livestream confirmed my love for this game. Stunning. There is so much to it that makes it feel more alive than previous games. The only thing I'm not so sure of is the results screen being self contained and not within the world itself, but there's no denying it doesn't have visual flair. Some of those moments in the stream are GIF worthy - especially that jump.
Speaking of, the next one will be next Tuesday at 19:00 BST, showing off the map itself and some bonus board locations. They also confirmed the map is around the same size as Australia in FH3.

I am excited about Forza Horizon 4 but I don't want to see much before playing. It's so good that it will have a 60 fps on Xbox One X.

Give me this and Sea of Thieves over any PS4 exclusive.

Where can I watch a replay anyone know? Thanks in advance

Edit:never mind found it!

@redd214 For future reference: stuff like that is always quite easy to find on the official Xbox YouTube channel. In the playlists, you'll also find all the Inside Xbox videos.

@DarkRula You can also watch Mixer on the Xbox One itself. Nice option for some relaxed, on the couch watching on the big screen. Once you've made an account on your PC, it'll be linked to the one on your Xbox One, much like how it works with YouTube.

@ThanosReXXX Thanks dude, youtube was being wonky on my TV, why I had issues. Will subscribe to that channel, thanks again

@redd214 You're welcome, man. Anytime...

@BlueOcean Have you managed to have fun with Sea of Theives? I kind of started it...tried to do a 2 player dinghy and it seemed kind of aimless and boring and put it down.

@NEStalgia Not in the first days but now yes, I definitely love it! And it's getting more stuff which is great. I find it really beautiful, with great sound and entertaining. I have more fun playing with friends but sometimes I like being solo, eluding confrontation and doing more relaxing quests or exploring. It's a wonderful world.

@BlueOcean I didn't think you even could play solo. I tried co-op with one person and it was like...ok...island...stores I can do nothing with....lets get on the boat (that needs 2 people)....go...somewhere.....stumbled on some fortress island....had no idea what to do there and it felt like I shouldn't be there.

Granted this was before E3 and the add-on but I imagine the start of the game is the same. How do you get into it solo?

You just choose the sloop, private crew and that's it.

I find the game to have much more variety than most online-focused games. Exploration, collection, skeleton battles, treasure hunting, sea monsters, confrontation or friendship with other players...

Add to all this the side quests like the Hungering Deep, the upcoming volcanic sea and the skeleton ships.

Because the game lacks a tutorial, I would actually encourage players to try playing solo first. Being in a galleon with three strangers is overwhelming when you don't know the game.

@DarthNocturnal I wish matchmaking would consider voice chat filter and that the game would support keyboard chat on Xbox One. I prefer voice chat but when someone turns it off I can't even type anything, there is a chat wheel but I find it difficult to use. They say that they are working on this and other requests.

Yes, there are stupid people but unfortunately that happens in all games, but I also have met great people randomly. It's not always the best experience but can be great. It reminds me of cooperative play on Monster Hunter.

@DarthNocturnal Hahaha... thanks for that image. Now I'm imagining a single pirate on a galleon, running around like crazy, simply to be able to perform all of the tasks that a crew would have done, flying to and fro, left and right. The exertion will probably kill him before he even comes across any real danger...

@DarthNocturnal Guess I have to try it at some point, then. Although right now, I just don't have the time, but it does all start to sound more interesting. All the initial footage that I saw of it, didn't really grab my attention, but I keep hearing positive stuff about it, so we'll see, maybe after the summer...

Games with gold questions. Can I get a game with a one month gold membership...and do you lose access to the game after the membership expires? Been years since I used Live. So I don't remember how it works.

Edit nevermind: different rules for x1 and 360. I'm good.
