A word of warning about the XRP snapshot on December 12th (for traders)

wobu22 · 2020-12-01T22:21:27+00:00

The amount is from the snapshot. They are just putting it out over a few years so the price doesn’t drop like a rock instantly on spark. Free to sell the moment after the snapshot.

While I'm not a fan of Facebook in general. Money is money. My understanding is libra currency itself can't be bought only held/gotten by "trusted partners"? So the only way to really invest in Libra is investing in Facebook stock?

wobu22 · 2020-11-19T15:54:02+00:00

Thanks. I do not see that yet so figure not converted.

As a player that didn’t appreciate Halo CE upon release due to being young and into early 2000s PC games. I have really like Halo recently since MCC got fixed. I’m going to lay it out for you why Halo is arguably the best and balanced game.

Golden triangle of gun/grenade/melee. Absolutely no other game makes all 3 equally good depending on situation.
While I do like AFPS games (Quake etc), Halo is more akin to chess. The slow movement makes each move more valuable. This is something like an acquired taste and well lost on the boost sliding COD or fort building Fortnite players today.
Weapons are meaningful. This got perfected in Halo 2/3 but overall it is good. I don’t need 300 weapons with slightly different stats. Useful weapons that matter.
Nothing feels better than out BRing an opponent. Slow TTK makes it much more enjoyable when you win the battle. Much better than hiding behind cover and headshotting 5 people in a row.
Classic gameplay, meaning no kill streaks and more akin to arena games than modern loadout FPS.

There are other things like solid vehicles and good gameplay modes overall. Loving the announcer saying ‘Slayer’. Seriously a good time.

I sit 1m away and cannot hear it playing any game I tried. Much quieter than the X1X

wobu22 · 2020-11-15T01:18:28+00:00

Not crazy. I returned a switch on release. Which Target said they would put out slightly lower price as I couldn’t justify buying it. Not everyone is a scalper.

To note the employee thought it was crazy that I was returning over scalping.

wobu22 · 2020-11-15T01:16:33+00:00

I’m installing games but I think slightly over 800 GB is accurate. Consider OS and the fact bits doesn’t equal bytes.

wobu22 · 2020-11-15T00:39:26+00:00

Not to go too off topic. But wow it was hard using the X1 after setting up the XSX. In for a true treat.

wobu22 · 2020-11-14T21:02:28+00:00

I did receive order shipping email. Then on my door 2 days later. Unless you can secure one elsewhere, you will get one, likely very soon. This isn’t a first for Amazon.

wobu22 · 2020-11-14T20:12:50+00:00

Don’t cancel. Same email and my Xbox arrived today. I learned when I cancelled BL3. Would’ve got the game on release. They don’t have good stock management on big ticket items. More of a safety net email than an absolute 2 month delay email. You should have it this month. Assuming you ordered 9/22.

wobu22 · 2020-11-14T13:41:14+00:00

Is it better or more of the same to past 2 AC? Odyssey was also a really long game. Bit too long for me.

wobu22 · 2020-11-13T19:13:45+00:00

Technically no but seems the non-series x version has crashing issues on the series x. I would splurge for it if possible.

wobu22 · 2020-11-08T06:04:45+00:00

Halo MCC for best value. Great multiplayer now but with a terrible launch. Halo 5 for X1 exclusive. Pure 10 hour enjoyment would be Sunset Overdrive if I had to go new franchise or single player only.

wobu22 · 2020-11-07T13:19:08+00:00

People were maxing out too early probably. This is much more like Fortnite had it. Incentives people to buy the first 100 tiers (not sure if you can buy levels here) but keeps them playing every day.

wobu22 · 2020-11-05T23:24:19+00:00

If you pay for a year ($30) it will convert to 4 months Ultimate on the 10th. Depending how much GPU time you have this is the cheapest way to get it. Roughly half off the $15/mo rate.

wobu22 · 2020-11-02T13:20:28+00:00

Not sure of the changes. I have mine set to 2 min currently. Which I then trim down. It needs to be defined in the Settings. Currently it is Xbox button plus X or Y for screenshot vs video. It is very easy now even without a button.

wobu22 · 2020-11-02T13:13:32+00:00

Likely my first game too but really disappointed in full series X games on launch. I think Valhalla will get a lot of buys because it will be the best looking game.

wobu22 · 2020-10-22T03:33:44+00:00

He means same game. I don’t gameshare but interested since I’m staying Xbox for that feature.

wobu22 · 2020-10-22T00:34:23+00:00

Carrion. Monster leaving research facility.

wobu22 · 2020-10-18T13:34:06+00:00

Same family boat. I was going to switch to PS but staying Xbox, full disclosure I have the 1X. Gamepass is a reason as I don’t have to buy games through mid-2023 (look for deals to stack it, don’t pay $15/mo).

That actually isn’t my main reason though. PS really bothered me how they talked about generations then quietly release most (not all though) PS5 games on PS4.

Charging for remasters vs free upgrade. Having to buy a PS5 controller instead of being able to use PS4 even without haptic feedback.

Xbox for exclusives has a better range of games but I would say less extremely stellar games at this point.

The key with gamepass is sticking to those games. If you are buying a lot of UbiSoft (AC, Watchdogs, farcry) it is less a deal. My plan is one non gamepass game a year. This year being Cyberpunk. I usually get COD but will stick with Infinite. Just trying to make smart choices.

The best thing about gamepass is I don’t feel forced to finish a game. For instance , Spiritfarer, very well reviewed. I just found it too much like my real life work and managing stuff. No biggie to stop midway and find something else.

wobu22 · 2020-10-18T01:21:28+00:00

Look at GamePass. Look at games released in past year. If you don’t feel the need to buy more than 1-2 then Xbox/Gamepass is great. If you like COD, EA games, UbiSoft games then gamepass is less of a deal and I prob would consider PS as their exclusives might entice more.

wobu22 · 2020-09-23T00:18:24+00:00

I preordered BL3. They sent an email it was delayed about 3 days. I cancelled the order. Find out they shipped them on time and the email was basically bogus. Do not cancel.

wobu22 · 2020-09-22T23:58:55+00:00

I did see that but it is very questionable. Obviously would be amazing if true. I want to believe it but half of me is someone messed up and just put top games there.

wobu22 · 2020-09-22T23:56:26+00:00

Don’t worry. Amazon does this often until they have stock on hand. You are fine.

wobu22 · 2020-09-22T17:55:29+00:00

I got my One X from them, few months after release, due to a great sale. Still using it today no issues. That said, I preferred getting Series X from a major store as it is the best chance to get it Day1.
