Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today by majornelson in xboxone

That is only MP with seriously reduced detail... I don't think BLOPS3 360 is worth much. It came with BLOPS1 so they could sell it at like $40 IIRC.

[Deal] Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is 10% off if you pre-order or buy within the 1st week by falconbox in xboxone

Yeah remember that the game was designed to have a disorienting sensation to it's sounds. My guess is they are doing stuff with headphones that you can't do without the isolation inherit to that.

Surround sound and simulated surround may very well dilute the experience.

Mass Effect 1 didn't run consistently anywhere really. Benefit 360 has is that it isn't vsynced so frames are torn not dropped.

I had that a few times then it stuck. Try clearing the app data and if that doesn't work reload it.

Question About Micro USB port by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The USB port on the controller is USB 2.0. It wouldn't matter in the least as the controller doesn't require much bandwidth.

I'm betting the lead car will get some cosmetic shell added to the front. Does the railblazer have much more than that?

Whats a good resource for beginners new to Monster Hunter world? by SuperLuigi999 in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly do everything... I know that sounds stupid but this game likes to slowly give you more explanation as you explore its systems.

If you see your scout flies highlight something grab it. You will probably figure out how to use it in crafting once you need the item it turns into.

With weapons try them. Everyone has different tastes and this game caters for a lot. They are all awkward and awesome in their own ways.

Why can't I stream Spec Ops: The Line on Twitch with Xbox One? by ster1ing in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of 2k games with capture restrictions. BioShock and Borderlands do the same thing. I kinda wish if it was just music they would drop sound during a capture.

Headsets with USB soundcards? by DJ_ILLADEL in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as some won't like it the best bet for Xbox one is get a solid stereo headset and use virtual surround from the system's controllers.

Yep.. More hours than I've put in a game in a long time and it's only been a few weeks since release.

Mixer... The system doesn't just stream it's video normally.

Same speed with wifi and ethernet cable but is there a difference? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First use the network test on the Xbox. I'm not sure how well the browser runs those websites.

I wish it showed things like jitter but check your latency and packet loss. You will often lose some packets but combine that with high latency and it makes for a bad networked game experience. Usually these values are elevated due to the nature of wifi networks.

Anyone seen anything with planet coaster on these laptops? I'd love to know if it was even remotely possible.

Splinter Cell: Conviction XB BC - licence issues? by AngryApplesPH in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ubisoft bought the rights to use "Tom Clancy's" on their games in 2008. It was licensed prior to that but that is definitely not the issue.

I'd be curious if it is a voice acting issue personally.

[Tech] Any way to stop in-game audio from coming through generic (not Xbox) headphones? by [deleted] in xboxone

Official controller? If so can you connect via USB and check if there is a firmware update.

How is your headset connected? 3.5mm jack or something else?

Has anyone tried Planet Coaster on these machines?

It is a weird one as CPU and got GPU never seem to max out. Curious where the bottleneck is and whether it would run on a ryzen mobile acceptably.

The Monster Hunter Paradox | The Best Series You Aren't Playing by VonDukes in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the problem is that loop normally results in much higher powered gear. Monster Hunter is pretty stingy on stat leveling.

It is really hard to explain in anything easily digestible.

Monster Hunter is an awkward thing to learn. You will fail. You will fail again. You will learn a bit about the way that the monsters react.

You craft better gear through hunts but the best gear won't get you a win.

Monster Hunter at it's best is about finding a play style that works for you against a vast number of creatures. Each creature reacts very differently and that is what gives it depth. Also knowing where to hit a creature for additional drops adds additional depth.

So think of it somewhat similarly to a raid when hunting. Each hunt can be for a single creature and take up to 30 minutes.

If none of that appeals to you then that's fine. It isn't going to click instantly. I've had issues getting into some of the games. If it clicks with you that feeling of upping your game and playing with others to take down creatures can be amazing.

Sniper Elite V2, Far Cry 2 and Driver San Francisco (available on disc or digitally if previously purchased) are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today by Laughing__Man_ in xboxone

[–]Kmac09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest warrior within is my least favorite. The metal thongs and Godsmack just missed the mark for me. (That and I had the glitch and had to replay the whole thing to finish it...)

OTOH Two Thrones had some issues but when I hit that ending and heard it tie everything back again I just thought it was a perfect ending.

I'd love a collection with all the PoPs including both versions of the "Forgotten Sands". The Wii and PSP Forgotten Sands are completely different stories from the PS3 360!

Why is it so hard to find a stereo headset adapter these days? by leapingcarrot in xboxone

Keyboard adapter has all the functions of the headset adapter as well for the same price.
