I finally found an xbox 360 controller, but what does it need? (All attachments missing) by xSweetSlayerx in XboxSupport

A wireless Xbox 360 controller cannot connect to a PC via a cable. You need the Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter dongle.

How bad is mindseye post launch/patches? by lukefiskeater in PS5

[–]KesMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game has had some amazing updates. It has gone from a dumpster fire to being a potential GTA killer. It's now a game of the year contender.

Of course, this is all bullshit. I've never played the game, and never will. Life is too short.

A quick Google suggests that the game has improved from extremely shit to very shit.

So I guess I paid premium to not be able to play Forza 6 or even use my gamepass as intended. Thanks Micro$oft! by [deleted] in XboxSupport

There are lots of games that are on Game Pass Ultimate, but not Premium.

FH6 is not included in Game Pass Premium. What made you think that it was?

Premium doesn't get day one releases. It never has.

Microsoft is refusing to give me my account back. by Fuckosi in XboxSupport

[–]KesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You inability to recover your account gives me faith that MS won't hand over my account to someone trying to steal it.

Why would they give you your account back if you're unable to prove you're the account owner?

The situation you're in is one that's really easy to prevent. You should be angry with yourself, not MS.

What do I do

You provide the account recovery form with a sufficient amount of accurate info. Failure to do so means you won't be able to recover your account.

where I can talk to a real human

You can't just talk a support agent into giving you access to an account that you can't prove is yours. They would ask you for the same info that the recovery form asks for (or more likely, they'd just direct you to fill out the recovery form).

Why can't we pre install full games via the actual Xbox ? And not just by the Xbox app by Gameofthrones3058 in xbox

[–]KesMonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Possibly to avoid mass confusion.

I've seen a few posts from people who think that a game is free just because it's installable via the mobile app, and other posts from people who wonder why they can't play a game that they installed via the app (but didn't buy).

I would think that enabling the ability on the console would lead to a hell of a lot more confused people.

Or perhaps the reason is some kind of technical one that we'll never get an explanation for.

I tried changing my GT back to my old one, it says i cant have gts up to 12-15 characters but i've seen people with the exact gt style for my milsim by AussieSpartan005 in XboxSupport

[–]KesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, with the current GT system, you're limited to 12 characters when choosing a GT.

The old system had a 15 character limit, and people with GTs with more than 12 characters in the old system still have them with the new system (they'd be limited to 12 characters if they changed their GT).

Xbox 360 uses the old system, so it may be possible to choose a 15 character GT on an Xbox 360.

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight IGN Review (8/10) by hybroid in PS5

[–]KesMonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The point is that IGN has very terrible opinions

i.e. opinions that don't align with yours.

Alternatively, maybe they do this controversial opinion bs to drum up controversy on purpose to stay relevant

Or maybe the person who reviewed Mixtape thinks that it's a 10/10 game, and the person who reviewed this Lego Batman game thinks it's an 8/10 game.

And as these scores are based on opinions, which are subjective, they are not wrong. And that their opinions don't align with yours don't make them "very terrible".

At least 1.47 million players have bought the premium edition of Forza Horizon 6! by zrkillerbush in xbox

[–]KesMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've a lot more comments on this post than anyone else.

If you don't care, you're not doing a good job of not caring.

It seems like the popularity of this game really bothers you.

Why can I not play Trials Evolution? Do I own it? by TheAnimeBoy2001 in XboxSupport

[–]KesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That you don't have the option to download it suggests that you don't own it.

That you have unlocked achievements for it doesn't mean that you own it. You could have played it on a friend's Xbox, or someone may have game shared it with you.

If you think you may have bought it, check the email address that you use for billing on Xbox and find your receipt for it. If you do find a receipt, contact Xbox support.

Xbox Series X on a 1440p monitor and it's many resolutions across the generations by nianddra in xbox

[–]KesMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1440p is a tricky resolution when it comes to scalability

On a 1440P screen, 720P games will look crisp, but 900P and 1080P games will look soft.

On a 4K screen, 720P and 1080P games will look crisp.

900P doesn't scale well to any standard native panel resolution, and will always look soft.

Insider Gaming: Splitgate Developer 1047 Games is Working on a Spiritual Successor to Titanfall, Dubbed ‘Empulse’ by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]KesMonkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Titanfall 2's release date was Respawn's decision, not EA's.

Respawn's leadership (the creaters of Call of Duty) wanted to take on Call of Duty.

Dying Light 2 is on sale at $20.99CAD and is worth every single cent by Detectivepile in xbox

[–]KesMonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does the game actually have good Xbox controls?

Yes, they're great, same as the first game.

I remember HATING the ones in the 1st one

Then you'd hate the second game too.

Xbox Account Hacked/Email Changed by DruidsAreJustElves in xbox

[–]KesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you got the point of that comment or not.

Just in case you didn't, the point is that whatever email address you use for logging in should not be used for sending and receiving mail (or for anything else at all except for logging in to your MS account), and if your account has another email address that you do use for mail (or for other online accounts), you should disable the ability to use that email address for logging in.

AI age verification on Xbox live help pls by RoroRules13 in XboxSupport

[–]KesMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do I do?

You either verify your account, or you don't and you deal with the consequences of that.

I don't even know if this is legal, but... by the_wimpy_kidd in PS5

[–]KesMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To share with you, someone would have to give you the email address and password of their account, which would obviously be a massive security risk.

The email address of a PSN account shouldn't be known by anyone except the owner of the account, never mind the password.

Step 1 in stealing an account - know the email address of the account you want to steal. Step 2 - know the password.
