XboxEra Community Hangout |OT13| The Bakers Dozen

Yeah… I was debating trying to block my calendar for part of the time but think I’ll just have to watch later. Hate when work gets in the way!

I played the first part on Steam Deck and really want to play the second, but I’d rather play the them all on Xbox tbh.

Thanks for the link. I wish it wasn’t so hard to find the official stream. I searched “xbox developer direct 2025” and gave up after scrolling through pages and pages of no name Youtubers’ restreams.

Same, have the first on PS4 and aside from how ugly it can look at times, I just prefer the Xbox ecosystem and controller.

In the future, you should block off your own time with personal meetings.

In the past I’ve had to do that for things like End of the Day and Lunch. It got especially annoying when some fool would schedule a “15 minute meeting” on Fridays right before end of the day. Those meetings always went over at least 60 to 75 minutes. When folks schedule, they only see the time as conflict and rarely, if ever, ask about the conflict. They usually find a better time before sending out the invite.

I didn’t think to do that today, so I’m practically guaranteed to be called into an impromptu call.

Had not seen this before.

Man i remember a few years ago i thought how MS wasn’t either lucky with a few third party day 1 games deals, but lately with Palworld, STALKER 2 etc they’ve been much better.

And now Expedition 33, that game looks so good, great deal made by MS there, will be there day 1 no doubt

I found out CoD BO6 is #1 USA seller of 2024. That’s rather surprising to me knowing HD2 and College Football got a head start. Yeah, they will be fine.

I was so damn close to grabbing a guide because I was stuck as hell in Zelda : Minish Cap. I tried all my tools/items, went through every single area and was close to giving up. Also didn’t see any cracked walls. Then I spotted a curious pattern on the ground somewhere, decided to tap the sword on the wall and sure enough, secret area, bombed it and in the next room a huge chest with the tool I needed to progress further in the temple.

Patience is so important, because you rob yourself of the happy feeling/excitement of solving something if you do grab a guide. Love it! Awesome game.

Am I the only one that though that (graphically) Black 2 looked much better than NG4? Lol

I watched on my phone though, will watch on TV when I get home

I noticed that as well. At first I thought they were just showing a trailer of 4 and I thought to myself this looks significantly better than what we just saw, but then it turned out to be the NG2B reveal, lol.

To be fair NG4 is still in development.

“You’re welcome.”

True, I think it’s more likely than not just a UE5 thing though (with lighting etc.). Not sure what NG4 is running on but probably not UE or I think they would have said so.
