Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@DarthNocturnal Not sure, the 100GB total was for PS. On X1X the games already 70 or so GB so it's hard to say

It's kind of the opposite from SoT though in that, SoT is all about the social interaction (that's what I dislike about it.) '76 is kind of about "a handful of people that would rather be playing a single player RPG going out of their way to ignore the other people in their game world" I've seen more interaction in the non-PvP areas of TES:O.

Plus SoT is a world you wish you could stay in even if it's not fun.

@Dezzy That's just the air inlet. The airflow goes from there to the exit grid on the left side,
so that the cool air also flows over the disc drive and the internal hard drive. So, if you block the left side, the heat can't escape, and the air just circulates inside, and no fan is going to help solve that.

@ThanosReXXX

Oh right. I'd looked around for a second opening and hadn't noticed it so I just assumed it was all done through the top.

@DarthNocturnal Wow. I mean not taking more space is good, but.....how broken does it all have to be to replace the ENTIRE game?! A 53+ GB download, launch week, is seriously sad. Anyone that bought a physical should be entitled to a refund. It's an unplayable game for many people that can't download that.

This is all I know about fallout 76:
(video contains profanity)

@NEStalgia @DarthNocturnal Probably a sign of what's to come next gen.

@Grumblevolcano It's bad enough they all want to switch from physical to digital distribution, but now they want to redistribute the distribution thrice weekly.

Have any of these companies thought to contact Comcast about this? 1TB is going to go very fast with 130+GB 8k games games that reinstall 5 times a month.

OTOH....it's Bethesda. But what I don't get is....the broken part of the game is the executable. The executable is no more than 30mb. The textures, models, music, gun sounds, etc don't need to be replaced. Why do these companies keep replacing the entire texture and audio archive every time they fix a netcode problem or adjusting one audio file? Have they never heard of a delta? PC for some reason got a considerably "smaller" patch at 15GB...which still makes no sense. The differential is in no way 15GB of data. I'm not sure they even know what they're pushing out.

This is what happens when you outsource your game development to content farms in China, boys and girls.

Damn you, Black Friday, just when I decided that I wouldn't be spending any more money on my Xbox until after Christmas...

P.S.

For all you European gamers: they also send games to every country in the EU, so for now, also to England, although I don't think that's going to change any time in the near future. Some of these discounts are well worth the extra cash needed to get these games sent to other countries...

TFW you look at that list and realize you already have most of it...........

@NEStalgia And paid much more for it...

@NEStalgia By the way: abbreviating game titles is still not okay, but I'm slowly getting used to it.
Abbreviating every day words/sentences, though, that's really a bridge too far...

Idk y ppl shorten their words, smh.

Anyway I can't wait to play PLGE later today, while my xbone downloads TEW2, ME, RE, FFXV and all that.

The DHL dg can't come sooner.

@DarthNocturnal I thought it meant "so much hate".

Smh.

FWIW one I haven't seen in ages that used to be on most forums is IANAL. Which sounds a lot dirtier than "I am not a lawyer"......

I don't randomly abbreviate words, those are common internet expressions. You need you Urbandictionary copy handy online

@Yosheel That video is hilarious. I have no idea how bethesda has gotten away so long selling completely broken garbage that never leaves alpha stage. I wanted to like them for so long but it's just hit a point now where they're not just unreliable but they're con artists. id's stuff is still ok, but Bethesda Game Studios itself is....how is Todd a hall of fame designer?

@NEStalgia Never heard of, or seen anyone abbreviate "that feeling when" before, so I'd just attribute that to laziness, sloth. As in one of the deadly sins...

If all we would use and trust is internet talk, then society will take a REALLY quick shortcut down a steep spiral towards DAF Town... And yes, that's an abbreviation. Unfortunately, I can't spell out Dumb As F... completely, lest I trigger that malicious profanity filter again...

@ThanosReXXX I've seen it all the time, just not on this forum. Thought it was a commonly used internet thing. (I mean it is a commonly used internet thing, but I figured everyone had been used to it.)

Sloth, laziness, sins. We're on a video game forum. Our chains are long and heavy already. And we're already in DAF Town. Society is something that exists in history books. We're in the "connected world" now

Just wait until Google chips are in our brains and you can read everyone else's thought simultaneously in real-time and have the collected knowledge of mankind in your head through the power of the cloud! Every Twitter user's random thoughts, worldwide, will simultaneously be uploaded to your brain, with an advertising bumper between each LOL IDK ROFL! Utopia!

Lol travelers trigger the profanity filter but not anal.
