yeah its annoying when it happens, and made me order a play and charge kit since unsure if it will continue once i run out juice with current batteries
I donât have controller connection issues at all, thank God. But could it be because I use my Elite V2 and not the XSX controller? Either way, these issues remind me of Xbox One in the early days, how itâs again a issue now is baffling to be honest.
I use the regular XSX controller and have literally not had one problem with it.

It definitely isnât widespread then, thatâs good. But it definitely sucks big time for Javier. Especially because it seems he canât seem to get rid of the issue at all.
I think thereâs an issue, pretty sure Xbox has acknowledged theyâre working on a fix, but wouldnât say itâs something the majority of owners are experiencing with confidence. Iâve experienced it a couple of times during the first month, but nothing since. The only thing I can think of thatâs changed is I no longer use instant-on mode (no point given the speed of cold booting).

Yep I think people ere either too young or had parents who were well off enough to have a PC to realise how bad console gaming could have been if left to be exactly like PC online gaming.
Obviously now in a ubiquitous connected world it seems dumb but back then it was a godsend.

Played a few hours of the Outriders demo and then uninstalled as I didnât need to play more. Was already day one and now even more so since I will be buying it digitally. Overall, loved and enjoyed what I played of the demo. Did three story quests and two side quests.
The game feels like The Division/Gears/Remnant From the Ashes in a sci-fi Destiny world with a touch of Mad Max in regards to the first hub area that youâre in. First thing that came to mind was Mad Max.
Overall, enjoyed it for the most part but a few issues which I have since tweeted to the official Outriders twitter account and will have to check to see if thereâs an official Outriders forum on Reddit or something since I know developers read and look into it all.
The following should have an on/off option patched into the final retail release -
- Blood Splatter ⌠itâs too much and you canât see shit. I have a health bar and donât need this. Please give me the option of turning it off.
- Enemy Detection Arrows ⌠these arrows tell you the direction of where the enemies are attacking you from. I have a mini map and donât need this. I always turn this option off in every game. Would like to do so here.
- Motion Blur, Camera Shake, etc. ⌠I hate all of this shit and want to be able to turn it off.
- NPC Subtitles ⌠when youâre in the HUB area, NPCâs will talk with one another. I want to hear but not read what theyâre saying. I would like to turn this off. Turning this off also eliminates the subtitles from these NPCâs overlapping with the NPCâs that are vital.
- Zoom In/Out option for the quest map. Donât really need it. Itâs not a necessity but would be nice to have if possible.
- Dismantling weapons/armor should tell you what youâre getting in return from the resources. I would get 16 scrap for dismantling a weapon but if I would have sold it to a vendor, I would have received more scrap. Tell me what it is so I can check the price first and go with what gives me more scrap in return.
- Text Background Color ⌠this is a MUST FIX. Having a white background with white text does not freaking work. You canât read shit. I have to go within a foot of my 55" CX OLED to read the damn thing because the text blends in with the background color. Very simple. White background, black text. Black background, white text. All solid, no transparency shit. (I also have this issue in AC Valhalla to where itâs like, how do the developers/testers/QA not see this??? SMH)
Other than those issues, no other complaints. One that MUST be fixed in my opinion and the rest can easily be ignored OR just have an on/off option added in.
With that all said, looking forward to the full game on April 1st.

Did you get some Mass Effect vibes from it? I checked it out as well and while I didnât love it quite as much, I kept thinking it felt a bit like Mass Effect. I think Iâd be more inclined to enjoy it if I had a group to play with, not sure solo though.
@peter42O tried a bit before uninstalling but they gotta do better with the HDR settings. You literally have no idea if what you are doing is making changes since its just a numeric slider.
I think they said HDR wonât be active until release anyway
They have confirmed a toggle for motion blur. They havenât mentioned the camera shake though which needs to be sorted. I legitimately felt sick when I got to the end of the demo. Shame because I enjoyed it.
I have never played Mass Effect so I canât say either way. I did play two hours of Destiny 2 when it went free to play and I can say that it has a sci-fi vibe like Destiny 2 has. I play fully solo and itâs difficult the higher the world tiers go but itâs doable as thereâs no actual difficult level like easy, normal, etc. The world tiers ARE the difficulty level and you can always decrease the level if youâre having issues.
I played as the Pyromancer and love setting enemies on fire but thereâs no health/med kits/packs. You gain back health which each killed enemy. However, the Technomancer gives you health back just for inflicting damage. I need to see if I can play as the Technomancer but use the skills of the Pyromancer.
That Stadia comment about Google spending millions got me thinking about how Sony is buying 3rd party games. I donât think this can continue in future because if Xbox getâs bigger which I think it will this generation then the price is only going to keep going up to keep those 3rd party games exclusive. Another thing is, isnât it a bit silly to be paying massive amounts of money building up IP for a 3rd party and could just say no the next time you ask then it goes on all platforms and youâre sat there with nothing in return.
I think this is what Microsoft sees and maybe the big reason why they donât bother with it, why build up IP for someone else when you can create a big franchise with that money and all the revenue goes to you, not only that you can build up your platform and get even more money from other sources.

Youâre making it sound pretty awesome and right up my alleyâŚdarn it, must resist! Iâve only around 10 games left in my âmain backlogâ lol.
I left HDR as is and had no issues with the HDR on the CX OLED. It looks great on the tv. No issues or complaints at all. I never mess with HDR in game.
Youâre right. I remember seeing the toggle for motion blur for launch. Hopefully, they add in the camera shake on/off option too so you can play the game without feeling sick.
Why donât you tryout the playable demo to see if you really like it? You donât have to buy it right away anyway. Can always wait. If youâre interested in the game, you should at least check out the free playable demo.
@peter42O Iâve played for around 30 mins and didnât get too far, seems fun. I just donât want to be tempted to buy haha.
Hahahahaha. Game is real good. Iâm looking forward to playing the full game.
Sony only needs to do the deals in the beginning of the generation to establish the userbase: âplay XYZGAME hereâ. They can totally abandon paying for timed exclusives later because they already secured all of the fans for the most part. Once the fans are established with Sony it doesnât matter if the game is released elsewhere. It works great for Sony, but it hurts the game(s) because now itâs harder to sell future games on the other platforms. Sony doesnât have to make a new deal with the developer because âtough shit all of your customers are on our platform and you didnât establish any on the other onesâŚtoo badâ This is further reinforced by the gameâs âfansâ who rather than be loyal the game developer, they are loyal to the Sony. If the developer tries to make a deal on another platform it becomes a betrayal, how dare they abandon their âloyalâ fans, XYZGAME is associated with PS.
MS has moved away from timed exclusives because they can spend the âtimed exclusive budgetâ on Gamepass. The same money that would be used to secure one major timed exclusive can probably pay for multiple GP games. From the developerâs POV, the same idea of taking upfront money for exclusivity (loss of sales on other platforms) can be applied to GP (only maybe a decrease in sales on Xbox).
MS has a lot of different deals they can structure thanks to Gamepass.
