So I'm buying X1X to my work place but I have a question. If I use an external drive to transfer digital games I've bought to this console, will others be able to play them with another profile? I don't want anyone else using my account obviously. Do I have to make this console my "home" console or whatever it was called and does this affect my actual home console in any negative way?

Not quite sure if I understood all of it.

So you have a X1 at home and you're going to buy another X1 and set it up at your work place for all to play.

Games bought digitally can only be played with your account (on every console) OR with another account on your "home" console.
So if your home console is set to being your "home" console, then others wouldn't be able to play your digital games at work.
Therefore, if you want others to play your digital games, you would need to set the work console to "home".
The only negative effect on your actual home console is that you can't play your games offline.

Thanks! One more thing though, after I set my work console to "home" console:

 - if someone else is playing GoW4 on that console with another account, can I play GoW4 on my actual home console at the same time?

- Can both of these consoles use my live gold & game pass subs at the same time?

Yes to both!
That's how I boost my online achievements since I got my X1X.

Only thing that doesn't work is being signed in with the same account simultaneously on two Xbox One consoles. But that shouldn't be a big deal for you.

One thing to note on this is if cloud or other general Xbox live services are down like the content usage service is down it can affect your ability to play on a non Home Xbox even if you are online. Good job Xbox Live is very reliable :)

I just bought an Xbox One X yesterday with FH4, F7 and TW3.

When I came home I found out that Microsoft bought InXile and Obsidian. Good news.

Tell me I am not the only person in the forum who waits until the Holidays to buy all his new games.

For the first time ever an Original Xbox game (mercenaries) is on GWG. Color me surprised.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Beat Rise of the Tomb Raider yesterday. Here are some of my impressions:

Overall I'm a tad disappointed.
Story was worse than TR reboot.
Environments were pretty same-ish throughout the game
I saw a lot more glitches on my playtrough
Game was much easier

In total this barely gets a 9/10 from me. Tomb Raider Definitive is a 9.5/10 in comparison.

I'm going to play through the DLCs next. I didn't expect it but it will surely break into my most played X1 titles. Already spent 22 hours and there is still some misc stuff left to do in the main game.

I beg to differ. Tomb Raider 2013’s story felt like a mess, trying to juggle too many characters at once.

Rise/Shadow feels more simple and to the point, and the gameplay improvements put it over 2013 for me, which is easily the weakest of of the trilogy (although still good).

RotTR story started nicely but towards the end it became lame & uninspired. Like a bad action/adventure Hollywood movie.

I liked the game very much though. Never played those other TR games so I can't compare. I'd like to play Shadow but I haven't got time for that now.

Didn't some of those guys from InExile work on original Fallout? That game was so dope back in a day. And Obsidian made the best Fallout game. Just saying, I think we're in for a treat when it comes to RPG games 😋
