XboxEra Community Hangout |OT13| The Bakers Dozen

It turns out USA has almost equal ratio of Xbox Series X/S owners with physical alas X winning by 2 points. Meanwhile, there’s way more physical owners of PS5 like more than 70. No wonder they suckered people in with Pro with no drive.

I’m so close to wrapping up Eiyuden 100% achievements but man I loved the game but that achievement list fucking sucked and was a huge grind to the point I feel like I need a break from jrpgs lmao. But my entire backlog is nothing but jrpgs right now. It feels like a jrpg came out on Xbox like every month this year lol.

WTF? Why would they remove that?

I don’t have a PS but maybe it wasn’t functioning well or maybe it’s a mistake that they removed it? I would hope so for the players.

That article implies that it appears to be an intentional choice, though obviously it’s possible they’re wrong. Is that feature their equivalent of quick resume? Maybe it had memory leaks or something and they didn’t want to support it?

The one solution to Quick Resume.

Sony actually nerfed their reward system. They just removed the ability to redeem PS wallet currency from the reward store. It sucks too because i was going to redeem points for currency, but I don’t see option. I saw a few people on twitter saying it’s been removed

Oh, this probably means the studio is going to be closed < /joke >

Thanks for the effort, really appreciate it. This is going to sound weird but it’s actually fake news that is perpetuated by a ton of websites. Like one site posted it, and the rest copied it. And the original site just made it up.

Unfortunately there’s no support for YT streaming for the Xbox and the claim that it needs to be enabled in a setting in the app isn’t true. I know, incredibly bizarre!

The thing is, it’s a genius way to make money. It’s a topic that a ton of people search for and you offer a miracle cure everyone is going to click on that.

Oh my… That’s just annoying. Sorry to hear it.

Streaming is definitely an area that Xbox has to catch up on.

When most people go pro they use things like capture cards and so on but highly accessible streaming that you find on consoles like PlayStation is a selling feature. It’s how a lot of people get started.

I think it’s one area where PCs seem to be favoured over consoles and why PCs are resonating with a lot of youth that grew up watching Twitch and YouTube. They see their favourite streamers playing on PC and associate that with gaming. And some of them might have aspirations of being the next big streamer and so the PC fits perfectly into that plan.

But yeah, I’d love to stream Flight Sim 2024 in 4K with my friends watching from their couches, going on a virtual trip. I mentioned it on the forum before, we did this with the current Flight Sim and we visited the countries their grandparents were from and visited the pyramids and went to Vegas and so on. I’d love to do that in 4K especially with the new FS which is going to be 4,000 times more detailed at the ground level.
