XBX Xbox Series X/S - Articles, accessories and everything else

[dwwaino]

We had no PS players last night so did our first Xbox/PC cross platform raid in Destiny using Discord. It was a massive success and the whole thing was seamless. Even the Xbox players were commenting that the comms were crystal clear and our server was only level 1. We've since boosted our clan server to level 2. It was great being able to chat while not being in a fireteam together. For those with all their friends within a single ecosystem this might not be exciting at all which is understandable. Though for anyone into the ever increasing cross platform games or want to be able to just chill while gaming with friends and family who are on another platform it's really great. For a game like Destiny it's bringing down all platform barriers. Once PS finally has Discord then platforms will no longer exist.

I’m a recent Discord convert and it’s excellent, we actually use it even when on the same platform as it’s way better!

It’s also great for just chatting when playing different games.

For some reason F122 doesn’t have voice coms when you play cross play so using Discord through my Xbox is great. Still sucks for my PS5 friend though

What does level 1 and 2 mean in discord?

What does level 1 and 2 mean in discord?

So you can boost server with irl monies. For small servers the benefits might not be worth it, but for something like a large active clan there is some value. What happens is you boost a server and it takes X-amount of boosts to go up a level. You can buy as many boosts as you want but the idea is for example if anyone feels invested in their clan enough they don't mind chipping in a few bucks a month and everyone shares the cost. If you have a lot of members boosting it will only take one boost each to level it up. Discord has a premium subscription (like most things now) on top of the free account called Nitro. Nitro comes with two free server boosts which is cheaper than two boosts alone so that's what most of us have done as it's very unlikely any of us are interested in boosting another server.

This is an example of our level 2 perks. The better audio quality is nice (though even the basic Discord communication quality is better than any in game chat already) and for someone like me who uses an ultrawide resolution and HDR my screen shots are nearly 30mb so I've always had to edit them to upload. Now I don't have to worry about it. None of these things are important at all, but my clan are all pretty good e-buds so we don't mind the few dollars to make it better for everyone else.

Reports already that the "improved" elite 2 controllers still have issues with soft presses. Think the internal design just needs a complete overhaul and release a version 3. Ive been conditioned to the nice size and weight and don't want to go back to the standard versions

the flip. Sonic Frontiers won't have a 120fps option? 4k at 30fps and full HD at 60fps?

Just found out about the Xbox Design Lab…immediately made a design that looked like the 360 controller.

Those are premium controllers. I meant a standard controller with paddles strapped to the back.

If you want premium features, you pay premium prices. There is a slightly cheaper Elite Core controller out now.

If you are interested in a controller with back paddles and costs significantly more than a regular controller despite having an extremely shit build quality, I have the controller for you.

I don't want the premium features that's the point. I just want a regular controller with paddles strapped to the back.

Paddles... Are a premium feature.

Then get a Strike Pack.

im thinking of getting an xbox again havent had one since like 2015 (use to be an xbox kid but switched to ps4 and ps5) with the game pass they usually have new releases on there aswell right? cause that game pass and thoughts of playing some older games aswell as new games with it is super appealing

my need to play fable again is high

New released games bought thru the Store, usually there are also discounts like 10% off with EA Play and whatnot

Gamepass is more for old, older, or recently released games ... can get them for free, or buy them with a big discounted price.

There are SOME games that get released for free via GamePass subscription at the time they are released at JB/EB etc, but it's usually Microsoft owned game studios that do it.

Microsoft Xbox has 23 studios and will own Activision Blizzard next year, they should be pumping out games quarterly.

I hope they start pumping out great exclusives again. They haven’t had a consistent output since 2007.
