So now I'm becoming a fighting game addict. Help. It's your fault, @Ryu_Niiyama!
For everyone else, there's some good deals on the Amazon Prime day if they're still up for digital: Sleeping Dogs, Thief, Tomb Raider, a few others under $10. A few other decent things if you don't have them for $15-30. That's one nice thing (for now) with X1 over PS4 digital. PS4 has MANY more sales with MANY more games on sale MUCH more often, but X1 has some PC-style competition between multiple key vendors with their own sales.
@BlueOcean Wow, I have Game Pass as well, and I've found I've bought many of the things i was interested in on sales (but wouldn't have had I not had them on GP, namely the Gears series, just scooped up the entire series minus 3 for a grand total of $40 between cdkeys and MS's $20 GoW4 sale.) I figure with 5 coming (to Game Pass) I might as well catch up
Injustice 1 (I will almost certainly buy it next time it's on sale. I owned it on WiiU but.....no arcade stick...)...Street Fighter IV (screw you Sony/SF.V), probably will grab Banjo after our conversation in the other thread made me want to play, and a few other things. But most of the rest of GP I either bought outright on cheap sales already, or it's old/indie stuff I'm not very interested in. Horizon 4, Crackdown 3, and Gears 5 will make it worthwhile anyway though
@NEStalgia Ah, the entire Gears series, huh? Well, you're in for a heck of a ride. It's all a bit over the top dudebro stuff at times, but if you can see through that, and immerse yourself in the world, the story and the gameplay, then you'll have a blast.

@NEStalgia
There are lots of good Deals with Gold if you are patient. The only games I have bought full-priced on Xbox One is Forza Horizon 3 (Ultimate) if I remember correctly and a few 360 games that are already cheaper than last generation.
My most played Game Pass game is Sea of Thieves which is new and that I wanted to buy anyway, I want to try State of Decay 2 now that it has been patched. I've never played Rocket League or Laser League and they are interesting options on Game Pass. I want to play the Gears series too and waiting for Master Chief Collection to be enhanced before completing it (I have the physical edition).
I'm serious, I don't have so much time but to have so many options is great. I also started playing Fortnite (looks and performs great on X) recently because of a younger friend made me try it, the genre is a mix of Goldeneye 007 multiplayer and Minecraft. I need to learn how to build properly.
I have so many options, some of them almost free, that I haven't regret for a second getting the Xbox One X and the Elite controller.
By the way if you guys want the Elite controller (the best controller I have ever used) or an external HDD for your console or an SD for your Switch make sure to check Amazon Prime Day.
@BlueOcean I still have to give SoT a try again...just couldn't get into it the first time through.
I love the Elite (until they fall part....and they guaranteed do... ) , If only I'd bought it on prime day They're usually out of stock more than they're in stock. I was really banking on a new Elite 2 at E3....I'm pretty bummed it didn't happen. Those quality issues really need to be addressed, but the controllers are just too nice to not buy
@NEStalgia one of my neighbors has had 2 elite controllers since they came out and doesn't have any issues with them. Wth are you doing to your controllers man
@NEStalgia Mine is good! It hasn't broken, must have been a bad batch like the PS4 controllers with the stick caps that disintegrate. The only thing I would like the Elite to have is Bluetooth for PC like the newer Xbox One controllers and that they were included in the Design Lab.
@redd214 I went through like 6 X360 controllers, one GamePad, one Switch Pro (I really don't know what happened to it, it has the least use of everything) and one Elite (but the Elite problems are very well known with RROD levels of problems with them.)
@BlueOcean Oh and I had 2 PS4 controllers with the stick caps that disintegrate..... Both launch day. Elite's probelms are a propensity for stick drift (they weight of the metal shafts are theorized to accelerate the issue beyond the stock controllers....it's the same analog module otherwise), the plastic bridge that joins the bumpers cracking (same bridge as stock controller....to hold two metal buttons....) and the rubber grips peeling off the back. It was the stick drift that got me.
Nah the xbox doesn't explode. I bought the XBox because all my game PCs have a history of being about to explode though....
Horizon 4 in Autumn. Coming in less than an hour - https://mixer.com/ForzaMotorsport
They've said we'll see more features, and a look at the map.
Should be good.
@BlueOcean@redd214 NEStalgia's own strength (born out of in-game anxiety and stress) has leveled up considerably over the years, and now he can do nothing else but power-grip his controllers, until, in the heat of the moment, he squeezes them so hard that they start to creak and crack, and ultimately, fall apart.
Still have ALL my original controllers as well, except for two N64 controllers, that I threw into a wall out of frustration of not being able to win in certain games. But that was back when I had an aggression problem.
I'm all better now, for the most part, at least...
The controller I have always wanted to throw through the window out of frustration was the Wii Remote. By the way, once playing Wii Sports the wrist strap broke and the controller dashed against a closet and made a hole. It could have broken the TV... or someone's face!
I like the artistic direction of the trailer and I love the idea for this expansion because we could cooperate against those Ghost Ships. The side stories are always welcome, too.
@ThanosReXXX LOL, you're not wrong But the Elite actually solves that problem with the paddles since if you squeeze even slightly you start having unintended button presses, so it's the one and only controller I actually don't grip until it creaks, because it's not possible without breaking the game
Elites just are infamous for falling apart, I'm afraid. (I still don't know what happened to my Switch Pro though....it really have enough use on it to pick up a weird pot issue.....my Joycons are (mostly) fine (I think there's a dirt particle issue that makes it not always have full range to the L/R edge but it's not a drift issue), and I use them way more, including outdoors in humid/pollen-filled air.
New Forza Horizon 4 stream just wrapped up. Focused on autumn, showed the full map which is absolutely packed as well as a few other details. Looks great thus far!
@NEStalgia Of course I'm right. I'm a Titan, which, for all intents and purposes, is a demi-god...
And besides that, I'm also a Taurus; a star sign famous for always being right. (or was that for always being dominant and wanting to fight?)
But if you're anything like me, then trying to control/keep in check what is almost like an instinctive thing, must at the very least mean a bit of a struggle. I don't break controllers anymore, but like I must have mentioned to you before once or twice, I do have some difficulties sometimes keeping my bearings, especially in hectic situations, and mostly in anything first person.
And no matter how hard I try, I can't get that out of my system, so that physical or mental defect of mine can definitely NOT be fixed with one of the age old adages of gaming, such as "practice makes perfect"...
So, if gripping controllers too tightly is your thing, then you're actually fighting yourself to some extent, trying to keep your precious Elite controllers in one piece...
The map isn't even all of it, from what I've read, [though I think that might just be wishful thinking on the part of some redditors] which means they are keeping surprises for us to find despite showing a lot of things off. Autumn definitely looks like a great season to be in, and the Forzathon Live stuff is an interesting way of encouraging co-op play.
Also - https://i.redd.it/syyykc1laka11.jpg - as complete an image of the map as we'll be getting at this stage. And looking at it, I'm pretty certain it is all the map.
@ThanosReXXX a Titan? You wot, Gramps? (Xenoblade 2.... You'll get the joke when you get a switch )
Yeah it's true, though I've never actually broken a controller, (not sure how) just the drifting stick modules. But in those stressed moments of say Splatoon or sushi striker, yeah I'm jamming that stick as though more pressure will make me run faster.... Can't escape it, hands are grabbing tools. Imagine how fun trying to lean musical instruments was many years ago
