I tried to join Xbox Live yesterday. I had to install a console update. A game update. Figure out my Microsoft account password. Add my address. Enter my free 30 day code. Enter my credit card information -- figure out how to navigate the abyssal XBONE menus, and then go to halo home screen and try to click "Multiplayer" only to get some obscure message about Xbox Live settings not being configured correctly".

I dont know if the XBONE was outputting at 30 FPS @ 4k or the horizontal refresh rate on the 80" TV was fucky -- but the people I was playing with got dizzy so we quit Local Multiplayer.

After Halo on Xbox 360 and the terrible organization and painful teeth-pulling process just to play fucking halo again it's no surprise to me why XBONE is in the toilet behind PS4.

Actually, the whole experience makes me want to keep my 4 controllers and put my console up for sale.

Believe it or not I actually have less problems on my m.2 Dan-A4 console sized SteamOS machine.

As a Linux user -- Linux exclusives don't bother me. If I have to buy a Atari to port games to Flatpak or AppImage or whatever else to get them from my Atari to my Linux it wont bother me much if I really want them.

Is it possible to have the graphics stretch to 16:9 or at least have a black left and right background?

The whole "Retro TV" look thing is just a turnoff for me.

Quoting: GuestHi ! Do you manage to get rumble support with it ? I must say I was quite disappointed by the "cheap plastic" feel of the SC. Also the D-Pad felt aweful compared to Logitech gamepad for instance. But maybe I got an old unit. Is it still the case ?

I agree, I dislike the d-pad negative embossment. If anything a d-pad should be raised not lowered.

If I could mod my Steam Controller to make it a slick surface like the right I would.

I don't use my SC often but i still wrestle with the correct way to hold it -- am I supposed to have my index fingers on the top triggers or middle triggers.

Also the wings coming at me up instead of down flys in the face of every other controller's design.

If I had 3d skill I would make those edits and print my own new shell to see if that improved the experience.

These SC Controller devs are the bomb, they're fast.

I will definitely buy this.

If I had the opportunity to buy all games that I consider ROM-worthy on Steam -- I would because I will gladly exchange money for someone to auto-organize, auto-update, and provide a no-bullshit way of playing these classics.

I am excited about Golden Axe.

If you're listening SEGA, bring me more classics to buy on SteamOS please! :)

Quoting: Linas

Quoting: ElectricPrismAccording to other articles on the web, some of the images in the game, though cartoon have girls that appear to be underage. Underage sex, consensual or not is in most places still illegal.

Oh give me a break. They are cartoons. They can appear to be anything. They are not real. They cannot consent to anything, and you cannot hurt them. They are figments of somebodys imagination.

Nobody is promoting underage sex here. It's all about somebodys subjective perception of what age the cartoon character looks like. You cannot with a straight face say that you can tell the difference between a cartoon depiction of a 16-year old, and a 25-year old.

That's your opinion.

My opinion is that yes there is content in the game that looks like the characters represent girls under the age of 18.

Here is a link to the art in question -- a topless girl (censor blurred out) [External Link]

Here's a poll I made if people would like share their opinion so we could determine what the community thinks. [External Link]
