Re: Xbox One

Anyone have any feedback on Forza 5? Specifically, is it worth picking up at $60 now, or should I wait until it's $40 later on?

I've actually played it more than NBA 2k and COD and i'm loving it other than the issue with getting the Limited Edition and it only being an option to buy certain cars. If you like racing its a good one to have. They are lowering the price of cars, having the wins payout more credits and adding a few more modes to it soon. Mode i'm looking forward to most is drag racing.

Re: Xbox One

Ok thanks and nice to know it's not just me...is not being able to chat through headset another known problem with BF4?

Even with the problems I went ahead and got the game today...traded in COD, really enjoyed the time playing it. Didn't get the same feeling with the BF3

Hmm...I've never had that issue, have you made sure that you have gone into the settings menu, choose 'Kinect' and then make sure 'use Kinect microphone for chat' is unchecked? As long as that is unchecked I'm been able to both just chat in a party or chat with squad members in BF4.

My new power supply shipped today, just under a week from when they received it. All I'm saying is that my xbox one better work, I would hate to have to fly to Washington and chuck it at some Microsoft employees head.

People get freaked out by cameras and their mind starts racing thinking about whacked out ****. I know a couple of guys who have a xbone and they turn the kinect in the other direction when not in use. No joke!

With Forza being the reason I'm an XBOX guy, even I'd have to say no that it's not worth $60. Having fewer tracks and cars was not a big deal for me.

The biggest issues I have with the game are the way they gutted the multiplayer options. No replays, not able to save lobby options, the party system to invite friends (that's more on MS). All this stuff really cripples the way organized racing commnunities put together races.

Also the drivatars are well..............SMH! A lot of work needed there.

That being said, the quality of what is there is extremely good, graphics are top notch, framerate is smooth and consistent, tracks for the most part are spot on, and the physics are the best in the Forza series in my opinion.

I agree with everything but the physics. Cars smashing you in the rear should incur some kind of physical penalty. What we still have to this day is a VW Beetle smash into your 3500 lbs car and completely wipes you out before a turn.



The other thing I don't like is the JJ Abrams-like sun in your face on just about every track in the in car view. Are the folks at Forza saying that no race driver can compensate by wearing shades? And why does just about every race start in the morning.



Rant off.

Agreed, I'm referring more to the actual driving of the car itself, but you are completely correct when it comes to someone plowing in the back of you or giving you the old pit maneuver.

Re: Xbox One

The wait is getting unbearable. I go into my closet and stare at the box at least once a day. LOL. *deep breath* Just one more week.

Re: Xbox One

I don't understand how multiple gamer tags are supposed to work? My gamertag is the Xbox Live gold id. My son also created an ID not gold. When he turns on the Xbox it logs him in to his stuff but when he goes to play online it shows as my I'd. Is that how its supposed to work?

I just got my year of XBL Gold in the mail, just taunting me. I'm waiting until I'm for sure getting the Xbox One to plug it in though lol

My wife was taunting me at Best Buy last weekend asking about the PS4 and Xbox One and games, trying to throw me off. She saw the Vita and was like "Oh, that's cool" lol

I have big questions on this as well:

I gave my son 360, he has a GT but mine is on there as well. If he wants to play online on 360 he has to sign in as me, as signing in as him only allows offline.

Also,

On Xbone, if i am playing a game and he comes to watch me, it says hello and signs him in. But let's say i am playing a game, 2k14 for example, I go to restroom and hand him controller to play while I am in bathroom, or I let him do foul shots( he is really good at them, hahah), it seems to switch to his profile and messes up game. Playing as him now, and if you pause game to see about switching, it is now stuck in cpu vs cpu mode, cannot control anything???? Something similar happened with Madden, but it just switched to him when he came in room, and messed up my CM. Had to delete his profile off xbone, and now it is working okay. Anyone else have issues like this?

Other than these issues, great.

I'd like to hear the answers as well, seeing as I plan on creating a silver Live account for my wife so we can play games together and she can log in via Kinect but still be able to use Gold features (like Netflix, Skype, etc)...

You only pay for one gold account. Family members added get all the gold account perks including their own friends list on live.

As far as couch coop and controller switching, that needs some work. Had my son and gf stop by and trying to get controllers working for each of them on guest accounts was a pain.

Sounds like for the time being, the only workaround would be to turn off the Kinect cameras facial recognition until there is some sort of fix.
