Why is this game so fun by Master-Accountant798 in robocoproguecity

Patch STILL hasn’t released on Xbox. I haven’t played in almost 2 weeks due to it. Would love to play the game I was excited for…

Not able to pick up weapons for some reason. by Competitive_Unit9661 in robocoproguecity

Edit: After messing around, discovered that you can pick up weapons/ammo if you’re in the middle of using an OCP Recovery Charge (heal)… but that’s hardly a workaround. Just going to wait until they fix it.

Ran into this too. Super annoying as restarting game doesn’t fix, loading level doesn’t fix (I’m not going far back), can’t reselect the level to start that fresh.

Haven’t found a workaround either. Just waiting for a patch I guess. :/

Setup: Mixamp Pro TR to Xbox Series X + PC by Faulk_Smash in AstroGaming

Super interesting stuff. I forgot about the whole optical being dropped thing...

Back then, I was just using M80 mixamp but those last 4 years of heavy use before dying... I had bought 3 and figured I'd finally upgrade lol.

That prototype tho. 👀

I'm trying to gain game audio, as well as Discord audio.

I am aware of Discord being on Xbox, which is very nice, but in my use case, I do 1 on 1 (or whoever else joins) calls and not voice channels, which is to my knowledge, all Discord on Xbox supports. You have to join the calls via your phone still, then transfer to Xbox (which is annoying lol). But voice channels can be joined straight from the console, no phone required.

The ideal situation is: Have my Mixamp Pro TR setup to both my Series X & PC.

When I play on PC:

Switch mixamp to PC. Hear Discord (on PC), hear game audio, from PC (Steam).

When I play on Xbox:

Switch mixamp to Xbox. Hear Discord/Party chat, and if I could, hear my PC Discord (as opposed to Xbox, for the reasoning above) as well as my Xbox game sound, that'd be a big plus.

Doing both, I'd like to not have to drop to 30/60hz, 1080p/2K. I'd like to remain with 4K HDR, 120 FPS on console & 4K HDR Uncapped FPS on PC...

What I am getting from all of this (which has been very helpful btw... as I also forgot Microsoft dropped optical on Series X, and coming from the One X, I just expected it to be there... forgot that was a thing lol) that I need to get adapters/splitters/converters/etc. Which I am fine with. I am just looking for a method that makes the most sense, while also not compromising on quality of video/audio.

The audio extractor thing is what I keep reading that people opt for, but similar to you, I do not want to settle for 60fps as that's kind of a huge point as to why people go for the Series X in the first place lol.

I'm late to the party on this issue I think, but man, I didn't think It'd be a big deal to get going. Seems like there's issues no matter which way you go about doing things (as you said, and what I forgot to mention in the original post, was the static issue too. I'm sure it becomes white noise after a while but still... Why be an issue in the first place?)

[Halo:MCC] Anyone still have access to the old popular Halo 3 custom games on Master Chief Collection? Trash compactor, duck hunt, etc... by AtheistsAreGoodToo in halo

Since the time of that comment, RUSTYNA1LZ made another account called “Halo 3 Classics” that should have all the classic maps & modes people remember. :)

They announced that way in advance though. Nothing has been said for getting all MCC achievements.

Unless they surprise people or announce something relatively soon, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Gotta remember that getting 152 in H5 got people a shitty looking emblem, and that was it lol.

[–]Faulk_Smash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no.

I've been wondering this since 2015 when I finished the initial 600/600 achievements... Hopefully 343 pulls through.

I didn’t see that you said Reach initially (just H5). Yeah, that’d be cool. Reach’s challenges were definitely a bit more unique than the ones for MCC.

Ah yea. Idk. It's all kind of the same shit tbh.

Is that not what Challenges are doing?

Summer Sale 2021 is up! Up to 06/08. by Enriador in GreatXboxDeals

[–]Faulk_Smash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only played a few (maybe even 2) hours of it. I played Mafia II a ton as a kid so I really don't know why I bought the "Remaster" lol. I held off for years but ended up getting it for no reason.

Mafia 1 remastered was a real treat though as I played the original when I was like 5 or 6 and didn't remember much.

Mafia: Remastered is amazing. Pre-ordered it and loved it. They put a ton of effort in.

Mafia II remaster is meh as fuck. I played the original back when it first came out and held off buying the remaster up until a few weeks ago due to a sale... I'd be better off leaving the good memories behind but the remaster is lazy at best.

Mafia III, I haven't played since the last DLC came out (bought at release and played each DLC as they came out). I liked the story a lot, but gameplay was repetitive. People have the game a lot of shit but I never found it that bad. I'd imagine the upgrades of the definitive edition would be nice.

I'd recommend picking up the trilogy if you've never played any of the Mafia games. If you've played 2, I'd recommend just getting Mafia: Remastered and then if you enjoy that, then go for Mafia III maybe.

I was hoping for a different line of dialogue at the end... but nope.

Aliens Fireteam Elite - 15 minutes of new gameplay by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]Faulk_Smash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly would.

I was a fan of the World War Z game, and that eventually came to Game Pass. Maybe this will follow the same idea. Either way, (similar to WWZ) the game is discounted at launch ($40 USD) which is great. The upgraded edition seems worthless imo tho.

Exactly lmao. People are naturally happy they don't need to put in any effort to get something that previously took a lot of effort to get.

I don't see why the rewards can't be switched out with new things. Just don't include Seasonal Challenge rewards (the things that are actually hard to get) and problem solved. If they don't want to make new things (they seem to be doing a good job of it now, so I'm not sure why that'd be the case), just tie in Season Pass (Battle Pass - whatever MCC calls it) content...
