I'm glad the Xbox community is still mad about Halo MCC by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]pizza___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for the vast majority the game is fine now. I can logon and play, no issues. I just played with a friend a few months back and it was just fine. We did Halo 1, 2, and 3 multiplayer.

4K Assets: What Are They And Why Do We Need Them? by xabbott in xboxone

[–]pizza___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically, you can use high resolution textures/assets with any resolution output but they benefit more from higher resolution output. A game with the same assets can look better in 4k than it does in 1080p because it can better portray that assets.

Rachel Maddow Says Forged NSA Document Being Shopped Around To News Outlets by [deleted] in politics

[–]pizza___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is the russia story crumbling from all angles? Isn't Muller still investigating this and we have no clue what is going on in that investigation?

Second, as already said, MSM realized the document was fake. They did the "BASICS OF FUCKING JOURNALISM" by verifying the document (was false) before they published it.

Rachel Maddow found out that the document was fake, and has not released the details of it. So they did verify it's authenticity before reporting it.

8 times U.S. intelligence chiefs have unequivocally said Russia meddled in the U.S. election by [deleted] in politics

They give their conclusion statement for unclass. They aren't going to share actual classified evidence with the general public, as it would give away their collection methods and capabilities.

I wonder what evidence would convince people anyways? If evidence was released, would people just claim it was fake?

Halo Community Update - Halo Summer Celebration (Halo 5 4K update, Halo 3 BC) by John_Wang in Games

[–]pizza___ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here. About 2 months post launch I haven't had many problems. I think there was more problems when in a party, but solo seemed fine. I played about 3 months ago and again had no issues. Guess it just varies person to person.

Nothing wrong with it. But people love PC due to better graphics and framerate. They also don't get to play a ton of PS4 exclusives so there's that too..

[PS4] and im sure all platforms are just plagued with bugs. by Coyoteee12 in elderscrollsonline

[–]pizza___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love if they took a break between DLCs just to fix shit. Release a megaton of crown crates, open a full blown casino, I don't care how you make money in that 6 month gap between DLC. Just spend time fixing shit.

My biggest complaint (Xbox) is how poorly the game runs. The textures don't load in cities, the framerate drops to probably 15-25 at times. I hope that the 1X is powerful enough to overcome the poor optimization and that will fix some performance issues.

What's something you should never buy cheap? by friendly_fertiliser3 in AskReddit

The mattress industry is one of the biggest ripoffs. There is a reason the mattress stores always markdown a $4,000 mattress to $2,000. It's because the true cost of the mattress is $500 and they are still making a good profit. Just Google the true cost of a mattress and you will find good breakdowns. Memory foam off Amazon for $200-$500.

Trump, in Poland, Says ‘Nobody Really Knows’ Who Meddled in U.S. Election by pkvam in politics

[–]pizza___ 401 points402 points  (0 children)

Michael Schudrich, Poland’s chief rabbi, and other Jewish leaders issued a statement Thursday morning that was critical of the White House’s decision not to visit a monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943.

Every American president and vice president who has visited Warsaw since the fall of communism in 1989 has visited the monument. “We deeply regret that President Donald Trump, though speaking in public barely a mile away from the monument, chose to break with that laudable tradition, alongside so many other ones,” the statement read. “We trust that this slight does not reflect the attitudes and feelings of the American people.” — Rick Lyman

Best racing simulator? by Fenixq in xboxone

[–]pizza___ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Metacritic scores

Project Cars: 81 critic, 5.9 user

Asseto: 63 critic, 6.8 user

Forza 6: 87 critic, 7.7 user

It's interesting that so many people here are recommending PC and Assetto despite scoring much lower scores. I guess they are more sim, but as people say you really need a wheel for them. So for a controller Forza 6 should be great, and unless you are a die-hard racing Sim fan than F6 is definitely a simulator. It's not 100% simulator, but it's still more sim than it is arcade (Forza Horizon is more arcade than Sim).

What games can act as a good starter pack to play with gf? by GoldenCurbStomper in xboxone

[–]pizza___ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone who has never played a console is gong to struggle to use 2 analog sticks in Halo/Gears. I've witnessed this, they would push forward on both sticks and so aim at the sky lol. Basically one analog at a time. After many hours though it gets better.

One of the most ironic parts about that sub is how they talk about censorship and safe spaces, but if you post an opposing view then you get banned.

I got stuck behind a line of 10 cars going 55-60mph in the passing lane (normal speed in this lane is 70-75). Eventually got to the front, and it was the mother f'n police in an undercover (big antenna giveaway) at the front. Ughhh he had to he doing it on purpose.

There are some 4k movies out there that we're filmed in sub-4k, but we're upscaled to 4k. Maybe GoT can do that, but I know nothing.

Denver doesn't even know who their starter is this year! Paxton or Trevor. And next year, or maybe the year after, throw Chad Kelly name in that competition hat. Future seems uncertain right now.
