brucoe Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 So, was thinking of buying an XBox One, and then just bought one during the Prime Day sale. So, any advice on games I should be looking out for? I figure if it's on PC, I've probably already got it, but any Xbox specific games out there that I've been missing out on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was going to be a high learning curve the second the trailer had me try to figure out my date of birth. Nonstop action AND remembering my birth date. That's awesome.

It came with a code for Rare Replay, which was one of the few non-Game Pass games I would have bought. @brucoe Sunset Overdrive is included in Game Pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think we bought the same bundle, cause it sure sounds like it. Was thinking of buying one of the farming games, cause, well, I'm an old guy, and that's what old guys do when we're not chasing kids off our lawns.

All the Halos, Gears of War, Sunset Overdrive is on there and Vermintide 2 all for $10 a month? Do it. You should have gotten a game pass for free 2 weeks code. Give it a go.

brucoe Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 I assume the game pass stuff is only good for the time that it's offered on game pass (meaning, you don't get to keep those games forever)? I installed the system yesterday, and now I'm going through and buying games (and it looks like the Xbox game sale just started today, so no complaints here). Some of the suggestions mentioned I picked up, but I also picked up Destiny 2 because I've always wanted to get into it. I was kind of on the fence for Elite Dangerous, and I still haven't made a decision on that one. I love the fact this sale started the day after I set up my console.

Keyser_Soze Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Oh yeah no one mentioned it but Killer Instinct Definitive Edition is 10 bucks and one of the best fighting games out there (though you could get it on steam) is still basically a MS Exclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucoe Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 One thing I'm noticing is how difficult it is to get used to the controller. I know some of you have been using them for some time and are quite comfortable with them, and I assume after some time I'll get used to it as well, but wow, it's really frustrating. The other day, I was trying out Destiny 2, and only going through the tutorial part of it, but man I was supposed to shoot some guy, and I kept trying to center him and couldn't get the target on him, shooting the side wall instead. He probably just stood there and laughed at me the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You "get used" to it, and console shooters generally have tons of autoaim to help. But it will never be as accurate as a KB/M. If you're comparing it to a PS4 controller, you'll get used to it. They're pretty interchangeable in my mind (although I prefer the symmetrical design and ergonomics of the PS4 controller). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking to see if there was one made for the Xbox One, but mostly what I found was stuff that allowed you to type in chat, and for those that appeared to be what I was looking for seemed to have really bad reviews from users, indicating that they don't work very well.

Brian Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 FPS will be a tough transition but for most other games, it shouldn’t be too bad. Start with Sunset Overdrive to get a good feel for the controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
