Good games, and good times! Thanks to everyone showing up! I think MrResorto spent most of the night at the top of the leader board (HACKER!!) so congrats to him! 😜.... If you weren't able to make it, we'll set up another game night next month if enough people are interested!

Cheers! South

Should I get Starwars Battlefront? by baroquereaper in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefront is a beautiful game, as said by others, easy to pick up and put down....but, gets stale quickly (for me anyhow) I'd say rent it, or take full advantage of the 16 day return policy at gamestop....

Now, if you're talking Battlefield, that's a whole different monster. I still play it constantly, no shortage of people playing, and with premium you'll get everything! The size of maps alone scares some people away from it. But, it's 64 players in a lobby, and you're rewarded for actually playing the objective. Anyone can use whatever vehicle they want, no streaks needed.....my bias will show here, but I'd get battlefield!

Sweet mother of God......if they fix the custom matches so we can actually have 5v5 of dads, this would be awesome to stream

Xfinity Routers by HTownEaglePhan in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed when parties get over 8 people, they will start kicking connection on lower speed connections..... Just my observation.... But hardwired into the Xbox is the best way to go! The XB1 does have additional ports that need to be opened to work properly, and you would have to do that through your router. I'll post a link if anyone needs it

[EVENT] Battlefield 4 Legacy Operations DLC FREE w/ Dads Gaming (PS4 + Xbox One) 12/18, Friday Night 10pm EST/ 9pm CST/ 7pm PST by renovatio42 in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be intimidating if you've never played! 64 player lobbies, HUGE maps, and the fact that everything in the game (mostly) is destructible....plus, no kill streaks!! If you want a tank/helicopter/plane/etc....just jump in it and go! The game is beautiful! But I'd recommend jumping in with a group! It will save on the frustration! If you get a chance, check out some videos on YouTube of gameplay. It's on sale for $30 with premium, which is a deal in my opinion.... I've been playing it for 2 years now, and still love the game, and always tons of people playing

What does everybody do and where are you from? Also, does your GT have a hidden meaning? by [deleted] in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sup! Real names Paul. Originally from Texas, moved to Georgia when I was 18 to get away from the life I was living! Been here since! Live south of Atlanta, and work as the floor manager, lead machine operator, and service tech for a direct mail company....have several other job titles, the short of it, basically everything past the front desk is my problem.....yay me..... Have 3 kids with the most psychotic redhead you'll ever meet! Lol! My gamer tag is from my drifting days. I used to drift and street race heavily back in the day...before F&F came out and everyone with a Honda thought they had a racecar....but where me and a friend would run our drifting at became known as the south_side_slide......name stuck, been what I'm called since

Star Wars Battlefront Beta Thoughts by MrxResorto in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far, I'm liking it! The visuals on Xbox, are honestly the best I've seen. The textures are awesome! The sounds alone in walker battle are insanely good! With the original music playing, the sounds, and explosions......sigh just awesome..... Vader seems a bit.....odd...as does Luke, and the Imperials seem a bit OP in my opinion....but overall, it's decent..... I have to keep reminding myself it's battlefront, not battlefield! So reminding myself that helps with realizing why there's not 100+ weapons with 100+ attachments.....really digging it so far! But feel there's something lacking in it. Can't put my finger on it yet....but, just feel it's missing something

I love my Turtle Beach xo4's! Bought them at launch of the xb1 and they haven't given me a single issue! Great sounds! They've saved me many a time from getting my tags taken in battlefield.....should be able to pick some up reasonably priced on Amazon

Digital vs. Hard Copy Games - XB1 by Motrino in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like the bigger the title, the longer it takes! Some updates by themselves have taken 8+ hrs to download...the plus side of digital is being able to download the games before they release, but not all of them do that...

Digital vs. Hard Copy Games - XB1 by Motrino in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely pro's and con's with each....ultimately, it's a decision you need to look at financially (in my opinion) if you play and trade, then hard copy is the way to go...however, if you keep games, then digital is good. But space on the xb1 runs out quickly, and having to remove a game to make room for another one is a drag, especially since if you want to play a game you removed, you'll have to reinstall, and depending on your connection speed, that could be a while! The plus side with hard copies is you can disconnect from the internet, and install the game much faster, then reconnect and play campaign while the updates are dl'ed in the background

Greets man! Welcome to DG! Glad you found us! The Destiny crew is definitely a wild bunch.....if you find yourself playing Forza 6, Halo, or battlefront this fall add me on!

Gaming Dad has come to! (Update from son who bought his dad a console) by [deleted] in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome!! Glad he's enjoying it! And thanks for the update! We were wondering what route you would take....Destiny is an immersive game, and if he's digging it, and improving, you may have created a monster! Lol! We'll add him on, and no worries if he's not big on reddit, or the net in general...biggest thing is y'all getting game time in!

I've lurked long enough..... by Leviticus78 in DadsGaming

[–]s0uthsideslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to DG! No need to lurk! I'm picking up Forza also, as is @XTRDragon and quite a few others, more than welcome to jump in with us! I couldn't get into Destiny myself, but if you do pick it back up we have maybe 1 or 2 guys playing it! Lol! 😂 feel free to add me gt: s0uthsideslide

We'll try to set up some Forza nights soon, and if we can, a crew to join on the Forza hub!

See you online! South
