Fuck Xbox

I spent all week playing Ninja Gaiden Black offline on Series X (which it initally wouldn't let me do) and when I connected to the internet again it loaded an ancient save from the cloud and wrote over the newer save, so I have to start again. Guess what? You can't disable cloud saves

Fuck Xbox

That's all I have to say. Have a good weekend!

Fuck Xbox

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
The console explicitly tells you if there's a mismatch between the cloud save and local save and you can choose which one to use, ya drunk bum.

Never had this problem on other platforms. They show you the respective dates of the saves and ask you if you want to overwrite the cloud save or not.

It's the same on xbox.

Literally did not happen. Got a message saying it was updating my save and that was it. Gone.

Exactly. Xbox users WILL keep their consoles connected at all times or there will be CONSEQUENCES.

You can do what you like, but I'd rather not know of your perversion. Please keep it to yourself next time.

No, I'm going to watch American Psycho on PS5 and then bang the shit out of Bill Gates' wife.

And I tell you what, she's going to love every minute of it.

I suggest that you ask your parents to explain to you how a modern console works.

Fun fact, you could disable cloud saves on 360. Which way is the future, I'm confused.

YEAH. YEAH!! We’re not gonna stand for this.

We should all fuck his wife!

Phil Spencer you better watch the fuck out. Everytime you see a dick out of the corner of your eye you’re gonna have to wonder if it’s coming for you or your wife.

Mark my fucking words Phil mark my words.

I guess I've never put my Xbox into offline mode to play.

I didn't even know it supported local saves for OG and 360 BC games. I thought they were always cloud saves.

I’ll be honest, I fucking hate the way Xbox handles cloud saves. Hate hate hate hate.

But yeah, cloud saves are 1 million times better on PlayStation and Nintendo. That’s right, even Nintendo switch online managed to make cloud saves work properly, but Xbox wants to do everything for you, and fuck it up in the process. You just gotta trust your Xbox, but on PlayStation and Nintendo, you can trust but verify.

Also, it is super easy to save scum anything on Nintendo or Sony. Even save scumming Hades is a super easy on Nintendo. Try that shit on Xbox. Report your findings back here. You bout to be fucking shocked.

There's no local saves for x360 games iirc, it's always cloud saved, if you are offline it's just a cache copy that goes away.

Ok here comes the science bit. Concentrate.

I tested it with RE5 and you do get the prompt if there's a discrepancy between your saves. It's a large screen which pops up, takes a split second before allowing an input, and defaults to cancel, so it's impossible to mash through, let alone overwrite. This screen did not appear when loading up NGB. Maybe it's a OG Xbox game issue, I dunno. Still stinks. Fuck Xbox.

Well balls. Be nice if it told you this when you go offline.

I was going to ask why OP wasn't using Quick Resume, but I see that Ninja Gaiden Black is one of the games that don't support it.

why would my home console not be connected to the internet u disgusting dirty peasant

I get fed up with the constant updates. Not just for the firmware, but for every ancient god damn game I never play. Why does Discs of fucking Tron need an update?

Never have this problem on Switch or PlayStation

I know it's annoying, but it's just one of those things you need to deal with to have access to great games like Hi-Fi Rush, Indiana Jones and Forza Horizon 5.

With all the games they are bringing to PS5 it would seem Microsoft agrees with your sentiment.
