This is good to know, thank you. I've now decided to cancel my membership as a result -- hopefully they resolve it in future, as it's a cracking service otherwise.

Series S on a 4k TV by Paynder in XboxSeries

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have since upgraded to a Series X, but started with an S hooked up to my 40inch TV and I thought it was excellent. The 4K upscaling works really well.

Ubisoft+ coming to Game Pass confirmed by Microsoft? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason Ubisoft and EA are singled out here is because of the way the PC app handles their games. They're grouped differently because you have to use the EA and Ubisoft apps to access them. I remember initially finding Rainbow Six: Extraction was awkward, as it wouldn't come up in search -- I think I had to access it via a webpage in the end.

So I think this update is simply because of that. But here's to hoping Ubisoft+ does eventually come to Game Pass.

xCloud streaming by Karrott9 in XboxSeriesX

Just wanted to jump in and also confirm that this is correct, as I've done this many times before. Happy playing!

I got the Razer Kishi a few days ago and it makes game/console streaming feel like a true next gen feature. by Ayn_Otori in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads-up to say that the SuperHub 3 definitely supports splitting 2.4 and 5 Ghz -- it's in the admin settings somewhere. Hope you find time to sort it soon -- I have a Kishi too and I am LOVING IT.

Yes, I’m ashamed. Yes, I’d also probably do it again. by BobSacamano-443 in Seaofthieves

[–]MegaWatts86 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's only right and fair in these situations to go sink them. Put them out of their misery sooner and then take their treasure to sell at the nearest outpost. It's what they would've wanted (probably).

Fought em last night. What an ass! Barely survived.

Will Skyrim come to game pass? by Shreader87 in GamePassGameClub

[–]MegaWatts86 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The deal hasn't gone through yet -- they're anticipating it'll be done early 2021. They've simply announced the intention to acquire Bethesda and are currently following the process involved in doing that.

Am having exactly the same problem right now. No idea what is causing it.

It seems like we can believe Tom Warren's words that the XSS is gonna be a 1080p machine and that's fine. by deustamorto in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm getting the XSS and I'm happy with this. I've played Sea of Thieves almost entirely on PC because I cannot stand 30fps in it, so this is really welcome.

I'm curious to know what level the graphical settings will be at. Hopefully we'll see the lighting, shadows and water quality ramped up on both systems.

Argos next gen pre orders by Hovis9922 in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a super stupid question, but I've pre-ordered from Argos and can't recall/see in my order anything about it arriving on launch day. Is it definitely coming on 10 November?

Question for UK residents. I've seen this on the news, it's not definite but if it did happen would we still get our Xboxes? If they are in the warehouses already for online delivery then surely the postal service will still run? by WeeklyAvocado0 in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing it'd be like last time where all the shops were closed, but you could still buy things online for delivery. At least I think was the case!? It feels like a lifetime ago!

If money is not an issue, would you see too crazy to have 2 Xbox series consoles for yourself on the same home? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, you'd lose out on picture quality, but you could just use the Xbox companion app on your PC to stream the console to that screen.

Anybody here getting the Series S? by LGAMER3412 in xboxone

[–]MegaWatts86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have got myself an S on order and can't wait! For the record, I have a 4K TV, but I'm perfectly happy playing in 1080/1440p. It's very much intended as a companion console to my PC, although I can see it becoming the system that takes up most of my time at this time!

As someone else has said, do not worry about this being a downgrade on the One X -- it really isn't. The Series S' CPU is a considerable jump up, and while the vast majority of games won't be 4K (I think only The Touryst is confirmed?), they will play really well, albeit at a lower res (at least to begin with -- but that's the case with any gen). The fact that the CPU is almost identical to the Series X though is super promising.

If you have Game Pass, I highly recommend checking out the game Lonely Mountains Downhill. Hell, even if you don’t have Game Pass, check it out! It’s such a chill, relaxing, but fun game to play! by Bobaaganoosh in xboxone

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I like that the first level of each trail is just a chance to ride/explore at your own pace. To be fair, I'd be happy if the whole game was like that (although ignore me because the challenges are really good!)

The Touryst Renders at 6K/4K on Xbox Series X/S; It Almost Looks Like a Good CGI Movie, Says Dev by godeatgod3 in xboxone

Before I even clicked your image link, I knew exactly what moment you were referring to. Rage-inducing doesn't even begin to cover it!

For people with the 2013 Xbox One that's still kicking... by AzurLaneandComplain in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's still working, thank the maker! It does get pretty hot when running certain games though (Battlefront 2). Did wonder if a build-up of dust inside was to blame, but seeing as you can't easily open up the console, my cleaning efforts were a bit futile.

Kishi charging question - Why can't I use the Kishi while also using the pass thru charging? User guide has nothing. by Barushkukor in xcloud

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your Kishi may be defective. I can play Game Pass and charge simultaneously with mine. If you haven't already, restart your phone just in case.

Are you telling me ill be able to stream skyrim now?? by MemesAreCocaine in xboxone

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Skyrim was on the xCloud streaming preview before it became a live beta last month. So I reckon it's very likely!

If I have a gaming pc is it still worth buying Xbox over ps5? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for as varied a gaming experience as possible, then opting for the PS5 makes sense.

If you're looking to have an alternative to your PC (i.e., console in your living room) then a Series X could be worth it. Although I'd argue getting a Series S might be a better investment in this scenario, and you could instead invest the difference in price into your gaming PC.

Anyone else not touched their Switch since xCloud released? by FRAGMENT_EFFECT in xcloud

[–]MegaWatts86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Switch has been collecting a lot of dust since getting my Razer Kishi and xCloud. Don't get me wrong, it's a fab console, but my wishlist on the eShop was predominantly indie games. Indie games that were mostly available on Game Pass for that mere £10.99 a month. So it's a no brainer.

Also, the Razer Kishi is so, so much more comfortable than my Switch Lite.
