Something, something, Xbox something

Don't know if any other fine Cmdrs have noticed recently, but......

The Bally Xbox forum seems a tad lifeless.

Sorry, this is not a DOOM post, what what

One is simply remarking on the fact that very little seems to be happening over there.

Maybe most Cmdrs prefer DD?

Toodly pipsky old beans
I believe that is a good thing, it means they have nothing to report and complain about :)
 
I'm on xbox and keep an eye overthere but i don't start too many threads. too busy keeping an eye on the state of the game in the EDO page for all the important stuphs there tbh.

XB is pretty okish...
XB1X and XBSX can play nicely ED so there are no so much complains here.
XB1S, at least mine, still had the stuttering when closing in planetary bodies.

But since EDO launch, again in my case, i played mostly on PC - think i've clocked less than 25h on XB in the last 2 months.
 
To be honest, the PC ppl on this forum treat console players/forum just like the devs and give zero f's. Condescending attitudes and snide remarks are usually the norm.
The fact the some of the console ppl have been here for 5 years waiting for space legs, then it gets delayed more then several times to eventually be completely snubbed. Meanwhile, the rest of the player base actually gets to play it, but complains constantly(which is totally acceptable atm).
While the plebs get forced to watch everything and everyone else play a game they equally love as much, but will not likely play in years.
The fact that there isn't handfuls of rage threads about the odyssey disgrace in the console forums, is probably because most are returning the zero f's theme back to FD by simply moving on to other games.
 
yep, I've gone past the point of caring about Odyssey at the moment and FDev have made it clear that consoles are last on the priority list
player numbers on consoles aren't great while PC numbers are, makes sense I suppose.

at this point I'm looking forward to Starfield and still have Cyberpunk to try so it's not all doom for me
 
I went through the Mass Effect legendary ed and loved it, tried ME Andromeda and it feels like its missing something, don't remember that 1st time round
so popped back into ED last couple of weeks and so far it's been relatively bug free

CP2077 is due a current gen update soon and when that happens I'll be on it

The irony is that had Frontier focused on consoles first, PC would not have the performance issues it currently has. Coding for PC encourages laziness (just throw more hardware at the problem), whereas coding for a console really requires tight, optimized, efficient coding, something lacking in today's industry.

Like everyone in Finland has to serve in the military, people who code should have to write software for things like consoles and microcontrollers before graduating to more powerful hardware like a PC, just so they can learn good practices.
 
I didn't realize that playing X4 on PC is XOR with congratulating an XBox owner on the arrival of MSFS on their platform. Huh, I learn something new every day!

[redacted] - while you get away with flaming people, unfortunately I'll get banned for replying in kind.
Actually even better, Crimson Skies 2 is on Gamepass now too, and on XCloud. I played a bit yesterday :D

To quote Ian Bell on creating Elite.
"If you spent 2 hours to save 3 bytes, that was time well spent".

That's the difference when you are restricted to 22kb of useable memory.

The best bit about the programming, in the original Elite, was that the BBC only had 18Kb of useable memory. Ian and David managed to squeeze another 4kb of memory out of the system.

Also would have meant even more gross UI/UX/general gameplay design based around those systems.

No thanks, continue console burning protocol.

Bonus is, people wanna play games? Need to learn to use a computer not a fancy closed system toaster.

Bonus is, people wanna play this game? Need to learn to spend the wonga, go through all the bull shizzle of pc gaming, wonder why the funk it isn't working, go through a ton of settings to get 4 fps....
fixed it for ya 😜
