When I first unpackaged the new controller, I was like, WTF, this is the same exact thing? After playing with it for two weeks now, I find it tough to go back. There’s this rough texture on both the grips, the triggers, and the thumbsticks that makes racing games and shooters feel way more responsive. The bumper… Read more

Honestly, there’s no reason to get Xbox Live on its lonesome any more. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which is $15/month, comes with Live ($10/month) packaged in. Wait until you get your console, though. The first month is $1, and you can cancel whenever you want. So signing up before you get your hands on a machine means… Read more

Just want to note that this is SUCH a good question. I haven’t been able to test it yet, though, as I’ve only created one console profile during this pre-release window. Rest assured that I’ll be trying this out as soon as I can. Read more

Your game library is accessible digitally, same as it currently is on the Xbox One, and you should be able to download everything from there. You can also sync up to local Xboxes over a local network (which we’ll have a deeper post on in the coming days). Save data on Xbox is stored in the cloud, so, if you have an int… Read more

Out of curiosity, are you planning on cancelling your pre-order and just checking it out on PS+ (if you’re a member, that is)? Read more

Not sure how to square that one for you but thank you for reading! Read more

Wouldn’t be fair to the rest of ‘em. Read more

Echoing the comment below, you’re not being an asshole at all. That’s a terrific question—albeit one I certainly don’t have the answer to. As mentioned, I think the developers at Obsidian did a service in how considerate they were to include a slider for this sort of thing. But something like that also means more work… Read more

Not necessarily equivalent, but Randy Pitchford mentioned in a GameSpot interview the other week that fans of that mode will be happy with Arms Race. And that it’s on an isolated map. And that it’s “not a battle royale.” (....suuuure.) Read more

Yes it is. Read more

Good catch! Thanks for flagging. Read more

Counterpoint:

I believe so, yup! I’ve, uh, accidentally sent my pet away a few times, and it’s come back after two minutes without any gear, so I figured that, yeah, that’s what it was up to. But I far prefer purging gear at the Luck Tree, hence why I didn’t mention. Good thing to know for those who prefer gold, though. Read more

I’m sure this is psychosomatic, but I feel like, the more I play, the more Styx I have to suffer. Seems like every run now I get stuck with at least a 4! Read more

Good to know! Now, if only there was a big ol’ guide to help your friend out... ;)

Wonderful news! Read more

Bingo. And, adding to your point, this post isn’t to say, “Hey, toss your consoles!!” It’s for the people who have already made that decision, and plan on getting rid of their XB1s and PS4s either before or when they get next-gen boxes. Read more

Step aside, MCU. It’s time for the UCU to reign. Read more

Man, that was so fast! Story updated. Read more
