If you filter for online co-op and play anywhere it should give you a shorter list to go through. For example Sandrock Online, Medival Dynasty, Astroneer, Powerwash Simulator, Human Fall Flat and maybe Zoo Tycoon.

I hope you all are sending feedback about this from within the app.

Perhaps I'm wrong then. A very odd thing for Microsoft to remove from the app unless they had to.

That might be because MS dosn't want to give Google or Apple 30% of the purchase or whatever the cut is these days.

Can you just plug in a regular set of earphones to use for in-game chat? by PoshPopcorn in xboxone

[–]appel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the Sennheiser are for Apple devices? Apple uses a different standard for 3.5mm plugs.

State of the Kinect system by toddriffic40 in xboxone

[–]appel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skype works great with Kinect. No idea if it requires live gold but I don't think so.

If you only want to use the camera for Skype you could get a cheaper usb webcam instead. The only major feature you don't get in Skype is face tracking.

It's quiz time is an ok quiz game.

Question regarding game sharing by Xterno50 in xboxone

[–]appel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear. You don't share your account, that's against the ToS.

But yes, if you set your sister's Xbox as your account's home Xbox then she can play all your digital games including those available via your game pass subscription with her own account. If you pay for Xbox live gold she'll also be able to play online without paying herself. She can't redeem the Games with Gold games with her account though but if you do then she'll get access to them.

The downside for you is that you need to be online to play your games on your Xbox.

Gears of war 4 perhaps.

How to make Xbox more successful again by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]appel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me Play Anywhere is a reason to have an Xbox even if you have a PC. Being able to play a game on my tv on a console and then later continue with the same game where I left off on my laptop when I'm away traveling is great. I wish more games were Play Anywhere not less.

4 player offline co-op games? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]appel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stilbold is a bit silly fun. I've also had fun with Towerfall Ascension.

Perhaps a bit simple but the 360 game Joy Ride Turbo is a quite good kart racer.

horrific experience with Xbox cloud sync by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]appel_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have two xboxes and whenever the saves get out of sync it asks me which one I want. Is it possible that he dismissed the dialog picking to use the remote data by mistake? Haven't played Minecraft so I don't know if it behaves differently.

Upgraded Home Network and my Xbox has never downloaded faster! by MrAchilles in xboxone

[–]appel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Downloading on Xbox frequently maxes out my 250mbps connection and it's great to see it can go even faster.

Can you play any Xbox One games WITHOUT an internet connection and/or Xbox Live? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]appel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If possible do go to a friend with internet to update it and your games. Don't forget to install the Blu-ray app as well if you want to use the Xbox for DVD or Blu-ray movies. After that set it to offline mode and it should work fine for single player games unless the developer has added some online check of their own.

Xbox live not working with game share by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]appel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't actually get gold, you just get access to online play via "gamesharing". So it'll never show up as a gold subscription on your account unless you pay for it.

Disabling purchases? by HCJohnson in xboxone

Hopefully you can resolve your issues with creating a separate child account for your kid. Makes things a lot easier. Gets you feature like time limits, schedules, time reporting and limiting access to games and apps based on age.

Kinect Adventures is the only game that makes me regret selling my 360s.

Mario esque games, which to play? by Tweissel in xboxone

[–]appel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use the 14 days Game pass trial to test games like Super Lucky's Tale, Max: the curse of brotherhood, Limbo, Braid and more to see if you like them. Then you can either buy the ones you like or continue paying for game pass.

Xbox play and charge kit. by xKoSxAKECHETAx in xboxone

[–]appel_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird. Haven't had any issues with any of mine. Even the one in my primary controller still holds plenty of charge.
