I've tried restarting and signing out/in a couple of times, but it keeps prompting me to join Game Pass whenever I try to download something on the app. Oh well, I guess I'll chalk it up to this being the first hours of a beta program and just try later.

But for most people, yeah, it's blowing money. We all do it to some extent. Doesn't mean it's worth it or it's smart. As someone who plays/played a lot of FPS shooters on console the controller alone is a game changer. I struggled to play Halo 5 as proficiently without it as I can't slide/boost and keep a consistent aim. I don't have to take my thumb off of the analog to push any of the face buttons (jump, reload, punch, whatever). It upped my game in MCC as well as now I can BXR while aiming instead of having to learn how to claw a controller to keep up with some of the better players. I've put 1000's of hours into Halo as a franchise alone. Not to mention the same ease of use when playing Gears, CoD, BF, whatever other FPS I've played on Xbox over the years. I've used and continue to use my elite whenever I play something on my xbox for almost 4 years. This isn't worth it to me because it costs a little bit of money? Granted I've moved a lot of my gaming over to PC, so the elite series 2 isn't worth it to me, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth it to others.

I've contemplated getting a regular Xbox One controller, just to have something different and they're only about $40 on Amazon. I think you can connect them via USB to your PC? Because using AA batteries sounds kinda lame, especially after using the Switch Pro controller and Dualshock 4, which have internal batteries. I'd rather just charge it periodically than keep replacing batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I move it to the wrong way or put it at the wrong angle, it loses connection... in my experience, using cable wires with the Xbox One controllers isn't perfect. I doubt it's like that with all controllers, though. I could just be unlucky, as some controllers seem better than others (in terms of being super finicky with the wire placement).

cusideabelincoln Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Regular Xbox One controllers will power on and connect via the USB port if you use it wired all the time. You do need batteries to go bluetooth wireless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a new cable, that has a tight fit, will remedy the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer them not. If my PS4 battery dies I have to plug it in and deal with a cable. If my Xbox controller battery dies I just grab another set and use those while the other ones charge. I have a bunch of rechargeable AA batteries for controllers, remotes, flashlights etc., so it's easier for me. I was actually kind of disappointed that the new elite uses a built in battery.

To answer your first question that has been answered: Yes you can use USB. I haven't had an issue with the USB cord falling out though. And also like mentioned above they use bluetooth. As for using AA, I love doing that because I can use Eneloops and just switch them out and keep recharging them. In fact I've had the same eneloops since the Xbox 360. A lot easier and convenient to swap out batteries instead of plugging in a controller, like the PS4 controller holds like 4 hours of charge.

I just hate stocking batteries and keeping up with them. It's why I went with a wired controller for my PC. With my PS4, I have it set up where there's a USB cable running through under my couch, so the cord is right there where I game and I can charge it if needed. We use those strips on the floor to hide the cables in the game room and it works well. For my Switch Pro controller, that thing has such a ridiculously long battery life, I hardly ever worry about charging it. I just plug it into the system every now and then and I'm good.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Oh, another thing with the AA controllers. I dunno if the One controller is better, but the 360 wireless controller fucking drains batteries while not in use. We have to remember to take the batteries out when we're done or else we forget and don't use that controller for a little while and they're dead. Which means I have to keep up with more damn batteries. Having so many platforms to play games on, it's not uncommon for multiple systems to go unused for months. Like, I do a ton of PC gaming, but it's not uncommon for me to not play anything on PC for several months and be on my PS4 or Switch or 3DS for a while. Or switch any of those around.

Ah this was a pro tip back from the IGN days, you probably never went to the Xbox board there where everyone had these things and they are the best rechargeables.

We don't know of an earlier deal. I think you could assume there wasn't one, given Ninja Theory's stance on publishers before they were acquired. Will it be exclusive? Depends on how far you want to stretch the use of that word. It'll be playable on Xbox consoles, PCs, and likely phones/tablets at some point via the cloud.
