couldn't seem to make it work with my xbox series controller on pc when I tried it last week. I will try again tonight.
Yea I started with controller then went to mkb and then heavily modified the keybinds. It was actually kind of annoying how much work making the keybinds ideal for me was. I wanted wasd camera movement, space bar camera grip, and middle mouse rotate camera (that isn't inverted as it is by default). But unfortunately that all means a million other things are unbound. Eventually got there though.
It thankfully does change all of the control tooltips and tutorials to match your changes.

Been having a grand time with Drake Hollow. Shame no one is talking about it.
Does anyone here know the difference between "online" and "xbox" on the online status for your friends? Tried googling but couldn't find an answer.
Okay I'm trying to play old XB360 Rare titles and there is no sound and if there is no music. I got a Series S. Anyone have this issue?
I'm playing Outer Wilds and Observation. Both are very unique and intriguing games.
Outer Wilds is unbelievably good. I would rather not say why, because I've been told by others to go into the game blind, and it was worth it.
I'm very early into Observation, so it may be too soon to say this, but I'm very impressed with the game's unique premise. The visuals are tight and it's so cool playing as basically a space ship's AI.

After playing Ori 1 years ago, I remembered it being pretty good but I didn't play much before I got distracted by a new game.
Having seen the second game get so much praise last year, I decided to go back to Ori 1. Turned out I loved it and finished it. I then started Ori 2 and just finished that last night too.
The chase scenes can get in the bin, and I'll always hate boss fights, but these games are fantastic. I love the movement, the skills to travel around, and the progression. It's all really rewarding.
I didn't quite like the second game as much because it felt like I was too much back and forth, whereas I preferred the more linear approach of the first game.
Graphically they're both superb, and the music is probably some of the best I've heard in any game.
I'm generally not a fan of metroidvania's, I bounced off Hollow Knight because I hated the scarcity of checkpoints and hated going back over the same ground just to get back to where I died over and over. Both Ori games nail the checkpoints and made it so much easier to stick with it when I kept dying at a difficult spot.
Very late to the party but yeah, these are great games.

I think it's just that the Xbox app is running on PC.
If you are on PC, friends playing on Xbox have a Xbox next to what they are doing.

When I look at my friends from the PC, those with "Xbox" in their status do not have an Xbox icon, so I guess it's the Xbox app that is running.
They gotta add it to the backwards compatibility list first ;)
Yea, I put in about 2 hours. It's not the most engaging of starts, that's for sure.
Was gonna loop back on this. So glad you went in blind!
"According to the Xbox Game Pass app, another five games will be leaving the service soon. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, Oxenfree, The Jackbox Party Pack 4, Vambrace: Cold Soul, and Mother Russia Bleeds will all drop out of the service shortly."

This question probably sucks and has been asked to death, but does Control on Gamepass run at 60fps? Or is that the version you have to pay for?
It does not run at 60fps.
It's the base version of the game not the Ultimate edition, which is the version that has the next gen upgrade.
Time to play Oxenfree. I heard it is better than Afterparty, which I wasn't enjoying and dropped. Maybe I'll try and start Momodora again, but I don't think I'll miss out on much if I just let it go.
I've been playing Cyber Shadow and very much enjoying it, up until the final boss. What the fuck is this bullshit. Bosses have been challenging but it was a matter of learning how and when to attack, and battles ended quickly either for good or bad. But this final boss, after the first phase which I can do without damage... it just seems bullshit to me? And then there's even another phase, so fuck that. I don't need to put anymore time into this. Great game for the rest, though, and I'd recommend it. Not sure if I liked The Messenger better (at least the first half is comparable).
No. You'd have to get the Ultimate edition for Series X (it has free upgrade on X1 but that's not the game pass version).

Thank you so much. What a bust adding control to gamepass without the upgrades lol. I honestly believe it will happen and will hold out till then.
2013 started Gen 7 with Pokémon XY so I understand prioritizing having a kid instead of keep playing Pokémon
I think maybe he means he kid likes it because it is like Pokemon where you capture monsters and stuff?
Yeah, the fast load times have been a god send. Its made the experience a thousand times better.
Yeah. It is a lot like pokemon in that sense. So he relates to it. I think the game is very enjoyable, and it is on Gamepass so I encourage people to try it.
played through Streets of Rage 4 last night. really fun, not sure i'll go back and play the other characters
i absolutely love outer wilds even though i cant play it because of motion sickness, but what i could manage was top tier. observation is great also, one of the hidden gems of the service.
from what i've gathered they usually announce the next batch of games on the first tuesday after the last game enters the service, so i've expecting the next xbox wire post tomorrow.
Probably tomorrow, but given today is a US holiday, maybe not until Wednesday.
I just beat it. It was a decent game. I didn't like it enough to beat the side quests so I just mainlined the main.
Oxenfree is an amazing game. After party was a huge letdown after their first effort.

Gotta get back to Oxenfree then I guess. Glad Yakuza 0 isn't leaving yet. Sucks about Jackbox. Just started playing with friends. Hopefully 5 is rotated in.
That's weird because I just looked it up on the official backwards compatibility list on Xbox.com. Damn that thing might be outdated then... or I'm blind.
Today was a US holiday, so probably tomorrow or Wednesday.
Sweet thanks. Not expecting anything too major but a nice indie or two will be a good pallet cleanser after Control (which is probably my GOTY even I only got around to it on series x).
Crash Team Racing - doubt it - as far as i'm aware no Activision published game has been on Game Pass as of yet.
ELEX - Decent chance, plenty of THQ Nordic published games on there.
Monster Train has really been growing on me over time. I don't love it as much as Slay the Spire, but it still scratches that itch. I'm on Covenant 21, and I've realized that Crucible Wardens (especially w/ a Morsel Master behind) are basically an easy win button.
