The Old XBOX Megathread

[Baddar]

I downloaded Trials. I'm shit.

Anyone know how the fuck to cancel subscriptions on Xbox One? They seem to have made it impossible. I want to cancel Game Pass as I don't use it.

I go into settings > subscriptions and can see what I'm subscribed to but there is no way to manage or remove them. 

Any ideas? 

A quick Google tells me to go through the My Games Apps > Manage subscriptions but I can't see anything there at all.

There is a section in games/apps that is just called Subscriptons now, below Games and below Apps I believe.

Or just go here.

That game requires a high level of stubbornness.  That said, it's a classic example of 'once you figure it out...'

[apsham]

If you have a copy of Minecraft on the XB1 and go to the Insider program, you can download the BETA of the game on the new engine and my god - is it something else to play an XB1 game with a mouse and keyboard.

If you guys liked Saints Row IV then Agents of Mayhem is really fun. Basically more of the same but it's kinda like GI Joe which is something I love too

[apsham]

Oh! That's good - I didn't even know it was coming out and it had some middling reviews. I didn't like reading about having to capture points but then randomly, the enemies will capture them back - etc. The review that I read likened it to adding tedium to the randomly fun nature.

[Your Mom]

That is totally true sadly. I hated that part so much! But the silly fun makes up for it at least with me anyway

[apsham]

Gone Home is going free on GWG and with Oxenfree leading into October and Turing Test coming afterwards - fuck yeah! I'm in the mood for atmospheric games.

[Ruki]

Oxenfree was a really cool game. I would suggest playing it all in one go. Set aside like...3-5 hour.

[apsham]

Yeah! That's the way I did it with the girlfriend - all at once, late one Friday night. Got the best possible ending (outside of the true ending stuff) too.

Cuphead is so great. Only beat the first boss/first sidescrolling stage but it's super, super fun and I can't wait to die a billion more times.

Oh man  That has killed a bit of my excitement 

[GoGo Yubari]

It's actually not frustrating to die in this game! At least, I don't think so, and I get frustrated with games really easily. I've taken the deaths as learning experiences thusfar, problems I can solve by switching the weapons up depending on which portion of which stage I'm on.

I like Polygon's review of it.

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

Cuphead is really great though I'd suggest re-mapping the default controls to something that suits you as all the actions are mapped to the face buttons and I found juggling things a bit tricky, especially in the Run and Gun stages. I'm finding dash on LT and shoot on RT is working good since I can just keep RT pressed down as I go about my business. 

[apsham]

I might map staying in place and shooting to LT come to think about it... agreed about the dash being on Y. I actually kind of forgot it was there.

But I'm with GoGo when it comes to dying a million times. The levels are short enough that when you complete them after knowing everything they're only a couple of minutes... so you are constantly learning and the game is actually showing you how far you get in the levels and boss fights so you can see real progression. 

[apsham]

Dodge on LT, Shoot on RT and lock on X is working for me.

Oh and @The Chiksrara Special you get to practice on a simple version of the fights that slow things down a bit and cut out a step to practice for boss fights.

[Your Mom]

That sounds ok then. I am a bit less worried now

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is free to play for a few days. 

[Kaney]

Seems like I've got to update the Xbone every other day recently. Is this happening for you guys as well?
