Almost 10000 in the old thread, so it's time to start anew. The old thread can be found here.

Before you post in here, remember that there might be a more appropriate thread in the forum, with the main ones being:

Deals With Gold
Bargain Alerts
4K and HDR TVs
XBox gaming
Xbox system updates
Xbox Live Gold subscription deals

Remember, be kind to each other, don't be a d**k.

Enjoy.

I thought RDR looked great "back compat".
Can't wait to see it "enhanced".

The MP is still going for the game, 8 years later

Agree, it looked great with just the standard Back Compat (16xMSAA) but with the 4K it's stunning.

Wonder do you get any advantage in MP on the One X, or is it still rife with hackers?

Delighted I still have to fully play RDR

No not 60fps in either mode to my eyes at least. Looks more a nice steady 30.

Theres an option in the 360 guide if you scroll right called "Xbox One X settings"

I didn't realise there was an option - is it 60fps in performance mode?

It's an option within the guide when you have a BC game open

Think I'll revisit RDR and play Undead Nightmare now

Red Dead got a One X patch today. Damn that heat shimmer looks nice.

Difference between performance and graphics mode is unreal.

Well folks, picked up One S 1TB with that argos deal about a week ago so have FC5, F7 and PUBG. Just finished FC5 and dabbled a bit with Sea of Thieves on Game Pass but have no headset at the moment and was playing with randomers. Just looking for some recommendations in the back catalogue. I've had a PS4 more or less since launch but might have missed some games that are on Game Pass etc, I was looking for Halo games but they don't seem to be available, is the Master Chief Collection or whatever its called worth picking up? I see Gears 4 on gamepass, wasn't mad about those on the 360, is it more of the same? Thanks for any recommendations.

I'm also baffled by the interface, nothing make sense to me coming from PS4, Switch and PC. Can't seem to find anything easily, is this common or just a learning curve?

Xbox ui was always a mess. Bought xbox one nearly at launch time and it was a mess, then it was dust collector for years. Bought xbox one x in January and it took me ages to get the grip with it. I am not even commenting on its laginess.
I still like ps4 dash a lot more. Its simplistic, but works very well.

As for games, its hard to say. We don't know what you played on ps4 already. Since I got back in to xbox, I personally played games I stayed away from. Witcher 3, Doom, Division, Battlefield 1. Current choice of drug is Monster Hunter and I can't recommend it enough. My favourite one in franchise so far.
If you do like racing games, then xbox is the place to play. Forza horizon 3 and Forza 7 are really good. Way better then GT series.

Rumour on Twitter of gold subscription privileges coming with Gamepass.

Pricing on that will be the deal breaker. for €100 I'd bite, but otherwise I'd be happy enough to get my live via the likes of cdkeys.com

Since I got the X I just store games on the external HD and leave it disconnected and transfer games I play to the X's internal.

Yep, it’s working now with internal games, delighted! Is my external hdd knackered or should i just format it again? Games work fine from it after a full shutdown but just the once. Thanks folks for your help.

Well, try it in a different USB socket first, then format it, and if they don't work, then your drive is probably knackered.

And the Xs have a much faster hard drive as well, so you won't see longer loading times by using the internal drive. Hope that's the problem, it'd be a nice easy fix.

I was wondering might it be a hdd issue. I’ll unplug it and see how it is with just internal games for a while. Thanks.

Are you using an external hdd? The X'x are very robust in terms of heat so i doubt that is the issue, more likely something connected with an external device (hdd, power board) or maybe your profile.

My Scorpio Edition Xbox One X stopped loading all games and apps, I’d keep doing a full shutdown and one game would load and then it wouldn’t load anything after that unless I did a full shutdown again. Got it replaced with a regular Xbox One X but now after a month this one is doing the same thing. Any suggestions? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Its just funny that its still not fixed 4 years later! Worst release of a game ever ever EVER!

With the direction halo 5 went I feel like halo is getting away from me, I hated that new war mode, whatever it was. Disappointing cause it was my fave game all the way from 1, I even loved Halo 4 and not many people can say that

I loved Halo 4, particularly after the few updates that sorted most of the launch issues. Was still playing it two years after launch.

Really like halo 5's standard 4v4 but Warzone never really clicked with me either.
