I'm at my brother's place and I see "Your other Xbox is taking a long time to sync to the cloud" when I try to play Shadow Of Mordor.

There are two options: Try Again or Sync Last Saved Data. Try Again brings up the same error message and Sync Last Saved Data seems to risky... I don't want to lose any progress.

I guess for whatever reason my system at my house didn't sync the Shadow Of Mordor save. Strange since the last time I played was 2am last night. Is there any way to check that the save file has successfully sync'd to the cloud before I leave my house? Right now this is a bummer because I'm stuck without access to my Shadow Of Mordor save file, heh.

Edit: Blergh, I ended up going back my place (I live close by), turned on and off my xb1, and went back - that resolved it.

Here's my review of Spectra (with video review too). I'm not too keen on it:

Still need to write my review, but I mostly agree. The music itself is AWESOME, but the game is a bit too much reliant on replayability via "cheap" deaths. The worst is coming over a crest and having a barrier right in your face that you can't avoid. Not to mention the speed boosts are usually more harm than good. There are 4 tracks that I can't beat for the life of me due to cheap placements of power boosts which lead right into mountains of blockades, poor placements of obstacles, and cheap tricks to try and get you to replay the level.

Music = good. Gameplay design = poor.

Yea that's how I'm feeling. I really really like Chipzel's soundtrack for this game though so that'll keep me coming back.

 

[RoKKeR]

I've been tossing around the idea of making an "Xbox One Most Played Games" thread and thought I'd come here for suggestions. Every time I hop on I always scroll over to the "Most Played" section to see what games are trending in the top 10 on the system.

I'm not sure how I would format it or "score" games, considering it simply shows the order of games and not how many are playing each game. Additionally, it only shows real time stats and doesn't give an aggregate for days, weeks, etc. I was thinking of maybe assigning a value for each spot on the list (10 points for 1st, 1 point for 10th) and then compiling averages every week but that seemed like too much work. Furthermore I only really hop on during the evening in the US, and understand games trend differently given the time of day in certain regions. (i.e. FIFA dominates the evenings in Europe)

Would anybody be interested in seeing a thread like this? Maybe I'm the only one who finds it interesting.

I'll definitely double dip. Such a fun game.

 

[RedSparrows]

I'd like it if RL came to X1. I could just buy it on PC, but more fun on console.

However, that tweet doesn't really indicate either way.

 

[zorbsie]

I find myself going back to spectra for the music alone. I do feel it has some cheap deaths in it. My biggest gripe with the game is no leaderboards. This is the perfect game to compare/compete with friends and yet there is no leaderboards for each track. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Silence has got my attention. Want to see more of it.

 

[Brakara]

I take that back discovering that the online is fucked. Probably the worst online experience I've had since MCC. Oh well, at least happy there's Steam refunds.

[speedomodel]

Grabbed Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition, for $20 it's cheaper than buying the 3 DLC packs separately and I've been meaning to get those.

Will probably do co-op with a brother now that I'll have two copies.

wait, there is a prototype rerelease? It doesn't say anything about enhanced graphics, is this a backwards compat. thing or a real remaster?

 

[VaultBoy101]

It's a port. Not a remaster, not BC. Just the lowest form of cash-in.

See this thread for more.

[RedSparrows]

I like Spectra. I'm not sure how it could have leaderboards, given the tracks change each time.

It does have some cheap moments, but I still enjoy it.

Nova 111 is out 28th August from Curve

[jbug617]

When are they going to announce Summer Spotlight? King's Quest comes out at the end of the month so it should be soon.

When are they going to announce Summer Spotlight? King's Quest comes out at the end of the month so it should be soon.

Probably next week, start on the 28th or whenever the titles are for that week and go into August

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I hope Beyond Eyes ends up in the promotion. Apparently it's supposed to be a summer game.

 

[jesu]

That is correct. It's coming on July 15 though.

Has this game been named yet?

 

[Steverulez]

Presumably it was Prototype: Do as little work as possible Collection Edition

Oh, that's a shame.

 

[eastx]

No no, it has not been named yet. The mystery game will cost significantly less than the Prototype bundle. I'll also tell you guys what it was when someone posts about it being available.

 

[VaultBoy101]

Tachyon Project is supposedly scheduled for release tomorrow, so that's probably the mystery game everyone's referring to.

Edit: Oops, it's in the list above, so maybe not.

 

[kevin1025]

I continue my journey to play Tomb Raider on everything (a journey I didn't even know I was on). $11.55 for the Definitive Edition is pretty good!

 

[eastx]

I hate to be a tease, but the game I was told would be stealthily launching on July 15th has been delayed at the last minute due to a certification issue. No wonder they didn't want to announce the date yet! No new date until they get the bug fixed and pass certification.

Sorry for getting people's hopes up.

 

[zorbsie]

Eastx, such a tease
I'm just happy the game you were talking about wasn't the Prototype bundle.

Zorbs, how can you not be happy with Activision putting such a great amount of effort into the remaster of their wildly popular franchise than they were so excited about said remaster they didn't even bother to announce it?!

 

[Bsigg12]

So Many Me will go up tomorrow night along with the Gears 3 price drop right?

 

[zorbsie]

lol. This is just perfect. I still have Prototype 2 in the shrink wrap. I think that's a good thing.

Waiting to hear impressions on Tachyon Project. I really love twin stick shooters, so I might get it regardless.

 

[backflip10019]

Technically it goes up the 16th, but they've historically gone up a few hours early.

[User 479360]

I can't believe they're serious about those Prototype prices. I want what they're smoking.

Anyways:

I played through Spectra, and beat its main difficulty. Overall, it was neat but repetitive and frustrating at the same time. It's an alright game. I reviewed it and gave it 6/10.

Started Tachyon Project this morning, and I'm enjoying it. It's dated visually and isn't anything unique, but it's pretty fun. If you like that type of game, you'll likely enjoy it.

Don't forget guys.

There's an achievement for playing Halo 1 on the 15th of any month in MCC. It's July 15th!!

 

[Montresor]

Has anyone here played The Fall? Looks like more of a shooteer/adventure rather than a puzzle game, so it may not be for me. I'll need to check a trailer once I'm home.

I played through about half of it on PC, it is definitely more adventure and puzzle game than shooter. There are points where shooting helps solve the puzzles and such, but it is undeniably an adventure game (with jumping!).

 

[Lima]

Interesting. Just picked up Vanishing of Ethan Carter on PS4 and after I finish that I may give The Fall a try. Looks like my kinda game.
