Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just had a good night is all. And yes some were a struggle. If it counted the number of retries...

I have very limited play time the next 2 weeks as I'm working away a lot and wont have my xbox with me! Should give you plenty chance to beat some of the times.

Best advise I can give is to view some of the replays of the best times and take some tips from that. From the track selection screen, hit Y for leaderboards then either view friends replays or Overall and hit Y again to play the replay. You will be able to watch the run back in slow motion if you want and see all the button presses at the bottom right. Gave me a lot of ideas.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Lol yes! I'm still trying to get used to it although the lettering going green to indicate what I can say certainly helps. I won a copy of Just Dance 2014 at work the other day and my daughter has been playing it but there seems to be worryingly few Kinect-based games. I've downloaded Xbox Fitness which looks good and I'll be trying later, a mate of mine bought Sports Rivals and gave up on it so he's letting me have it this week and the reviews seem good enough to give it a try, are there any plans for more Kinect games at all? As long its tech works well (and so far I've found it to be ok) it seems like there's loads of potential but I'm a bit surprised there's not more out there to utilise it.

Kinerct Sports Rivals is great fun.

I'm all moved house npw and Virgin all connected up but still not managed to get my One hooked back up yet. TV is now on the wall too.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Thanks for the tip, I also won't get much play time for a week or so as on late shift, but I will keep trying to improve my times until I get bored.

Before I had my x52 joystick I was playing with an xbox 360 controller. It played fine with that.

Surely you'll be able to plug in a USB keyboard to play Elite.

Nope.

Apparently it works very well with an Xbox controller anyway.

March update now available for download

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

For anyone that has Titanfall, the Season Pass is available for Free from the xbox store at the moment. It's basically a load of new maps and I wish I never bought it with the game originally but since it's free, make sure you grab it!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think the deal i got was £5 at Christmas, but free is a must.

I am so glad i went all digital and always hold off buying new games waiting for deals as it has saved me a fortune and made things cheaper than discs on many occasions.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Battlefield Hardline 10 hour trial available on EA Access.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

But what if your account were to get hacked and you had no other choice but to do a charegback on your credit card?
Your account would get banned and you'd lose all your games ;)

Xbox , PSN, Origin, and Steam all ban accounts for a charge back

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Forza 2 arrived today, treated myself after winning £50 on a scratchcard last week.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I would have to take that risk like most people, things are going digital with this generation more than ever before.

I do have emails of purchased games though, so not sure if that would help.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just signed up to Netflix and changed the DNS settings on the Xbox One to USA, it was so easy, how often will i have to change the DNS settings?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You shouldn't need to put them in again, as long as you don't change back to UK settings. In which case, you WILL need to put the US DNS settings in again.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

If you use Unblock-US then you can just change your region instead of messing with the DNS...

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yup, much easier to use Unblock-Us' Netflix region switcher than keep altering the DNS settings. It also means you can switch to Netflix regions other than just the US and UK.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

How would that help me for watching on the Xbox one and is it free? :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

https://www.unblock-us.com/

It costs $4.99 per month, or $49.90 a year, but is IMO well worth it if you want to watch more than just Netflix UK.

The region switcher on the website means that if you want to go back to Netflix UK from Netflix US (or vice versa), you don't need to touch the DNS settings on the Xbox (or whatever device you use them on) - you just change regions on the website. It also opens it up to other Netflix regions such as Canada and various ones in Europe etc.

Yes, it costs a small amount each month, but it's an established company with a good rep. There's no way that I'd use some random anonymous DNS settings found via Googling or whatever.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've used Unblock-us now for around 2 years. Minimal amount to pay each month for the chance to watch other regions. You touch the settings once, to put the DNS settings from Unblock in, then use the website to change the region as and when you want to change it.

New users get a week free as well, so worth a try.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Think I will stick to how I do it now as I don't want to pay for it as already paying for newsgroup access and it all adds up.

Hopefully I won't need to change the DNS too often.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

For anyone interested, that's £33.84 per year or £3.38 per month :) at the moment, as the exchange rate can change

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Also, so people can work out the right exchange rate they charge in CANADIAN Dollars, not US Dollars. Which means at the current rate, it is only £2.65 a month or over 12 months £31.80

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Anyone who plays Forza 2, is it worth buying the Storm Island pack? I keep being pushed to buy it, but at the moment I cannot justify the £16 to get the pack.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

depends, it gives you 1 extra barn find, plus IIRC an extreme off road car.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

In which case, don't think I will bother. Thanks.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Played Battlefield Hardline last night.

It seems they've just changed from military to civilian

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I *finally* started on Sunset Overdrive a week ago.

It is AWESOME! :D

Definitely recommend it :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I need to play that more. I'm only up to the part that gives you the new base

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not played it yet either, still addicted to Trials Fusion!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Exactly why I am not buying it, as it's just a expansion pack for Battlefield 4.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I don't think it can be classed as an expansion at all there is to much in it to class it as an expansion imo. I've really been enjoying it.

Some of the new online modes are great fun. Single player is ok too.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Saw that announced a while ago about the pc and xbox being able to play against each other etc, but the one issue I have is that all the console COD players will stop it working with the likes of FPS games, because of the keyboard and mouse on the pc.

Will have to see what happens but if I can play COD or something else on my pc and compete against people on Xbox then I am all for it, aslong as those on pc are forced to use the controller although I am getting better with it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I expect MS will bring out an update so that you can use a keyboard & mouse.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

So Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and the Furious is out today. Free until the 10th April, then it will be £7.99.

Its pretty much FH2 with F&F cars, but thats not a bad thing, a great game that doesn't need FH2 to run.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I do like seeing the Air Intake working on the Dodge Charger.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Getting near-ish to the end of the campaign for this, and still love it :D

Fun, funny, fast, and action-packed.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I may start it soon or play Black Flag and Unity.

Are you still disk free and downloading all your games digitally like me?

Do you know of any sites other than CDkeys that i can get cheap codes from?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You really should play Sunset Overdrive :)

One of my fave Xbox One exclusives, and one of my fave new* games so far of the new generation.

*(excluding the endless remakes/remasters etc.).


Yup, still only buying digital downloads.

I almost always buy my Xbox credit from CDKeys.com.

I did try an eBay seller once, but it turned into a massive hassle so I've avoided that route since then.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Simply Games seem to sell the cd keys rather than creating accounts as a work around but not tried them yet, i am after COD Advanced at around £30 at some point so just waiting as i never buy full price anymore.

http://www.simplycdkeys.com/xbox-games

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've used SimplyCDKeys.com before for Xbox store credit. Never had any issues. I tend to stick with CDKeys.com though as they usually have a better price, at least for the credit.


I would *never* use any of those sites that sell actual accounts. Buying/selling MS/Xbox accounts is a clear violation of the terms of use, and as such there's a risk that doing so could get your account banned and the content you've bought revoked.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You could also get your Xbox banned as well? Or is that just 360? I know I wouldn't waste the money buying accounts that have 1 game on it. It's not worth the hassle in the end. It's why I love CDKeys. I think I've had to provide ID about 3 times out of the hundreds of pounds I've spent with them.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I just wish they had more games at sub £30 prices.

Luckily i have only been ID checked once the very first time i placed an order via a automated phone call where i had to enter a code.

p.s Acathla get on Trials Fusion i need a challenge and have improved my times and you're the only person that ever beats me or gets close.! haha

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am sure I have beaten or come close a few times on Trials, If I have time this evening I'll spend a few hours on it :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Great!

I really hate the extreme tracks though i hardly play those like most people on my list.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think I have tried a few of those once or twice, they are just insane.

The wife is working till 10pm tonight, so I have plenty of me time, although may try to finish Fast & Furious as its great fun.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

How long does the standalone Fast & Furious game last, is it like a demo?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You could say it's a demo, you have to win races to collect cars from F&F, you do start with the Dodge Charger from the first film, with working blower

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Most people say it's about 2-3 hours.

It's free now and after the 10th April it will be £7.99

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Thanks guys i got it last weekend and gave it a go, just wasnt sure how big a game it was.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I wouldn't pay £8 for it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Massively recommend both although BF is a bit polarising due to half of the game time is sailing a ship which you'll either enjoy or hate.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

As far as DLC or expansions go I think its more than worth that price.

I am glad they made it stand alone and doesn't require FH2. They could easily have done it that way as a proper DLC add on.

There is a lot to do i it besides unlocking the main cars.

Downloaded the free Pool game this lunch. The five minute try I had of it makes me wonder why I bothered wasting 12 GB of bandwith on it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The pool game did look boring, have you bought Trials Fusion?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not yet, will do this week or next.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

What happens when you win all the cars and drive on all roads the games over.

In the next few days I will drive have driven over all roads and gone through speed traps.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

No idea, I have 1 car left to unlcok and 12 roads I think.

There is always the online free roam aspect.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've got an 80GB formatted portable HD and when I plug it in it only shows up under media player. How do I set it up so the Xbox uses it as additional storage for content?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think it has to be 250GB or larger for the Xbox to be able to use it as a storage drive. Anything less and it will just see it as a media drive

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

As Madgamer said there is a limit of 250GB, you should get a WD 2TB drive, alot of people use these in this thread including myself, when you plug it in it asks you what you wish to do with it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've got the 1TB drive I bought for the laptop plugged into the xBox One. Will need to save money up and get a second one for the laptop.

Oh and got Trials Fusion the other night. Not had much chance to play more than 5/10 minutes a go so not that good yet. Hoping to have a good play over the next few days.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Can you post your gamertag so i can add you as i play Fusions alot?

Which version of the game did you get, is it the Deluxe with all the DLC?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yeah the deluxe pack. Won myself £50 on a scratchcard so thought I would treat myself.

Tag is mjcherts

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just renewed my Live sub for another 12 months. £25.90 from cdkeys.com . Was asked to verify my phone number, and did this by SMS. A very easy service to use. Will use them again :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Luckily i haven't had to do that since the first time, was that your first?

---------- Post added at 16:06 ---------- Previous post was at 16:05 ----------

Excellent i will add you, there are a few other people here that play Trials like Acathla and Stephen.

Don't forget to download the 6 free DLC packs for Trials.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It was. Quick and simple process though :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They all did automatically, in fact the DLC downloaded first then had to wait fifteen minutes for the game itself to install. Hoping to get a bit more time tonight on there, like I say not had much time yet to get into it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Such a frustrating game but if you keep at it you will keep knocking milliseconds off your time for each track, but it is a good challenge! :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Im all set up till Oct 2017. Only had to pay for 1 year since 2013. Paid for 2014, got 2015, 2016 and 2017 for free form Microsoft :P

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have a 2TB one as well.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

And I promise to get back into Trails soon. SnoopZ rulez at the moment :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I've been told that Battlefield Hardline need a patch for shotguns as there is a 1 second delay on them, which explains why I got owned a handgun.

I wish there could be a ban on snipers as many get kills sitting in an area where we cannot reach them or get one shot kills firing off the hip

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have just started playing Sunset Overdrive that i bought digitally when on offer over Christmas, and i have to say it looks and plays awesome and is really great fun. :)
