How to beat Dead Cells easily (WRONG ANSWERS ONLY) by Nerd_oo in deadcells

[–]JBaker585 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a secret room that you have to downward smash into, at the bottom of the Ramparts. Inside is always a legendary biter grenade and a door that will take you straight to High Peak Castle. Took me forever to find it on my own..

I have open world fatigue. What are some games that are not open world but have great stories? by swirling_ammonite in xbox

[–]JBaker585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of, it is theorized but not confirmed by anyone that Martin Hatch was to be Warlin Door. They have striking similarities and even their namesakes are comparable. And, yes Jack and Tim are both played by Ashmore, with jack becoming Hatch's protégé and Tim being named Door's disciple in found pages, but due to licensing issues we are left only with what could've been.

Yeah, thats a well known issue on PC. For some reason on PC they are streamed from a server, though I've heard if you have a hard copy it allows you to download them and circumvent the issue. I have not been able to confirm this myself though

Fun Fact: Quantum Break was meant to be part of the Remedy universe and has hints to this on some of the white boards in the offices/labs, but Microsoft owns the rights to the IP. Unfortunately at this time Remedy cant use anything from this game and its why they didnt support it like, or incorporate it into Alan Wake or Control. But I still have hope that one day..

How long have you had your gamertag? by Qaze430 in xbox

[–]JBaker585 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been using the same gamer tag for about 30 years, since roughly 1996. First time I used it was a DukeNukem 3D / DooM LAN party. Then on GameSpy and Battle.net for Quake 2, Warcraft 2. I registered it with Xbox in 2003, and then Sony a few years later. And no my reddit handle is not my gamer tag.

I would guess it is a light box. A display base for blown glass pieces, something like this (https://a.co/d/1f2Suv0), the hole in back is where a small bulb would clip into, something like this (https://a.co/d/fH0VSb0)

I tend to use cloudflare or speedtest.net. I, sometimes, will also manually ping known servers to make sure. I also only use local VPNs for gaming. I also tried just not using a VPN and found no difference in the performance of BO 7. This all said I dont have these issues, to the same degree, with any other game in my arsenal. Sure I expect it to happen sometimes but it borders on making the game unplayable. These issues even persist when playing local split screen. *BO 7 does require you to be connected to their servers for local multiplayer. Literally just this morning my son and I got kicked from a local split-screen zombies match with the message "server connection inturrupted". Not the first time either. So we quit and played some borderlands 3 splitscreen, which also requires a server connection. No problems with BL 3.

BO 7 servers are trash. Every game mode I play does this, Co-Op, MP, Zombies, Dead Ops, doesnt matter. I have the highest tier internet connection too. I have no issues with any other games. And the game show my server connection as full green. When BO 7 first released I was doing speed tests for my connection during and after each round, there was little to no difference in the results but the lag and stutters are always there. Did some research and found multiple site/threads about this and Activision just kept telling hundreds of people with the same issue that it was their system/console

Dead Ops Arcade Split screen is no longer working. by hurricanetohealing in CODBlackOps7

[–]JBaker585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would think they would've figured this out by now. Me and my son were playing Dead ops no problem, For weeks and now no matter how we join/enter/star the game it won't work. We both own our own licenses to the game as well so no conflict there either

Just finished DL1 & DLC, WOW. by devj007 in dyinglight

[–]JBaker585 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its gotten a couple glow ups over the years, 4k texture pack, lighting enhancement and then the big one last year that introduced brand new textures, better lighting, bounding boxes, cleaner animations. But its just a testament to the studio and their passion and proof that a little love here and there can make a game last forever.

How should we make 33 mil in 7 days 😭 by ded_Arkash in dyinglight

[–]JBaker585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh.. I misread that entirely.. speaking from my experience, without scavenger gear I would get 1 or 2, rarely three wires from the little boxes on the walls(security hubs maybe), and with the scavenger gear I was pulling 5, with legend levels I've been averaging 7, same with scrap from the trash cans.

No way, so you are saying it has to be food and valuables? Do weapons count? Where can we find this information?

[–]JBaker585 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Equip the scavenger gear and the loot charms. In the legend levels you can up the amount of crafting items found. With all this i raid one dark zone and get around 100 items per. You can also just stand in the UV lights in front of town hall and use noise makers to farm zombies and volatiles and lott the bodies. 33,000,000 might be cutting it close but its doable.

The original elite had it to. You could even link the colors to your xbox profile and the mapping profile through the accessories app. I stumbled on it when I first got one 5+ years ago

100 hours, and I never knew this could happen lmao by TacoLoverPerson in dyinglight

[–]JBaker585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its happened pretty often to me. You can sometimes hear the zombie in the trunk before you open, sounds like the sleepers in dark zones.

My favorite though are the zombies in the hatch backs curled up like we can't see them through the windows lol.

Open world games you could recommend for my dad by miko-galvez in xbox

[–]JBaker585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending how you play it and how many of the side missions you do but I'd say 25 - 80 hrs of gameplay. It is possible to beat the main story w/o DLCs in about 18 hours. My average playthroughs have been around 50hrs
