Crimson Dragon is good so far. FIFA is crack like always. I still don't know WTF I am doing in the dash, it feels like there is a lot to learn.

I am disappointed by the sluggish performance of IE in snap mode. Hopefully they improve it.

 

[Marvel]

Also, ive only got through 50% of GTA5, so i hooked up my Xbox to my Xbox, so i can game while im gaming. Seriously!!!

 

[GavinGT]

So how comprehensive is the browser Flash support? Can I go to any random site and it'll load?

 

[dragonelite]

Got my x1 dat tier 2 cheating and almost done updating dat 100mbs

 

[ekim]

The controller feels so good... Updating.

 

[FrankT]

Any Live crashes since that small one earlier yesterday? How is BF4 running?

Tried playing FIFA with it? I have a horrible time using the shoulder bumpers. I cannot get them to register my clicks.

The crash yesterday was a major Microsoft error. It doesn't have to do with Azure or the Live servers in particular.

Crimson Dragon was my most anticipated next-gen game until this week when lots of people were seemingly complaining about the way microtransactions supposedly polluted the main game. Would you say some of these complaints have merit? It's making me very nervous. I did not think anything could stop my hype for that game

 

[Moa]

Anyone else think the bumpers aren't that good?

 

[GavinGT]

Anyone else think the bumpers aren't that good?

People with particularly large hands seem to not like it, since their fingers rest further up on them.

 

[Phat Michael]

Me. Loads of people. To hard to click and have to adjust your hands to use them. It's the only negative about the pad.

So Damn hard to use for Killer Instinct.

I have only played the first mission. It's too early to judge. However, the gameplay so far is what I hoped it would be and I loved it. The thing I don't like is the missing 60fps feel of Orta. Also, I dislike the "Lost Planet" sci-fi setting of humans colonizing a world with monsters. I preferred the fantasy/sci-fi stages of the Panzer Dragon universe.

LOL I am 5'6, my hands are small. These bumpers are just shit. I will adapt, but so far I am not having the best time in FIFA thanks to them.

 

[Miles X]

Bumpers are fine for me, anything think the controller is super light tho?!

 

[soul creator]

my vocal commands:

Xbox Watch TV
OneGuide
What's on HBO?
Space Jam

...and now I'm watching Space Jam, lol

 

[cripterion]

So apparently there's people having faulty disk drives for the xbone

Sucks, I was worried about it too but everything running smoothly here. Haven't played still, was just messing around with the system. The voice recognition is darn good except for one thing, I have to say "eeks bockse" since it's in french and it's so hard to get used to it.... But after for the rest I just talk normally and picks up everything I say so it's damn fast to move around the UI.
Configured my Samsung TV and my Samsung receiver too. Used the vocal commands to activate my codes which was damn fast. Just good vibes overall, going to be a long ass wait to play though, I'm at 60% dl for KI but it stopped to install Dead Rising 3.

 

[Daffy Duck]

My Day One is here.

Cannot believe the day has come.

Not yet. I'm downloading the day one patch right now.

 

[rokkerkory]

QQ for those that have one: How do you close or terminate an app? Is that possible? If not, how will that eat into system performance?

Start. Close it.

Seriously, people should really use the "xbox help" function it explains so much stuff.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Has this been mentioned? Someone found an MTE Test disc inside their xbox one

Boo

That's Gameception!

I totally couldn't sleep last night. It's going to be a long day waiting for UPS since it will probably be 6pm before they deliver.

Planning to try and find a Day One copy of Dead Rising. I hope it won't be a problem.

 

[ChosenPredator]

how do you guys put your xbox one on standby mode?

 

[soul creator]

QQ for those that have one: How do you close or terminate an app? Is that possible? If not, how will that eat into system performance?

I assume it's like modern smartphones, and you don't really need to manually shut it down. I think it automatically closes/dumps/quits/whatever anything older than the 4 most recent apps (which are always displayed below the main tile in the home screen)

fun fact: The store recommended Ryse to me because I liked Mass Effect 3...and Asura's Wrath. lol QTE's amirite

Boo

What's a MTE test disc ?

 

[NZNova]

There is no download queue you can bring up to my knowledge. Huge oversight imo...

Really? Yikes. That's messed up.

What about somewhere that'll show you what's taking up the space on your hard drive and let you choose to delete it? All your save games and installed data, that kinda thing?

 

[PAULINK]

Blue achievements just feel so... WRONG. But I cannot go back, I love my blue dashboard <3

 

[swordfishtrombones]

What's a MTE test disc ?

Quoted from Reddit:

I know what this is.. It's used in every Xbox beforehand deployment to avoid selling bricks. It goes through phases of gfx and CPU stress testing . The software measures inconsistencies in temps and reports back to a tool connected to the Xbox via USB .
This CD WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THE ATTACHED USB TOOL
Source: I have a friend of a friend who works in testing cred. In msft

 

[cripterion]

I have a built in tv receiver on my tv (dunno if that makes sense, but it's kinda like Freeview for UK peeps). Do you guys think I can control my tv if I run another hdmi cable from the tv to the xbox one hdmi in?

No.

But the IR blaster in the Xbox One should be able to control your TV.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Hardware has been good so far but software side nothing seems to be working right. Couldn't play Fifa with my friend and party chat only worked for a couple minutes then died. Also, navigating this new UI is really brutal for me.

I kept telling xbox to redeem code and finally figured out it's use a code. Don't see why they can't have both.

No, your TV wont have HDMI out

 

[LinkToTheFuture]

I wonder if BF4 will actually play on this consoles. Broken everywhere else it seems

I am also curious of this. I do not want BF4 freezing up my XB1 constantly =P I did the trade up deal from the 360 version. I stopped playing it weeks ago because the freezing was just unbearable. Can anyone confirm BF4 on XB1 is running relatively smooth with no freezing of the console?

Boo

Yeah, this seems to happen every generation. Some people imagine it's some magical key to hacking the box, but it never leads to anything.

 

[Brown Intruder]

fuck yeah, I just got my pre-order:

XBOX 1 Day One (plus FIFA 14)
Dead Rising 3
2nd Controller

550€, not bad at all!

I got my forza bundle with dead rising ryse and bf4..

Gotta say, I think that the combat is damn good in ryse. Playing it on the second hardest difficulty setting. Once you start getting the hang of the timing, it works well... My review is always better than someone else's.... for me at least.

Ryse is just a gorgeous hack and slash fest.. Can't wait to try some gladiator!!!!

 

[mocoworm]

Also, ive only got through 50% of GTA5, so i hooked up my Xbox to my Xbox, so i can game while im gaming. Seriously!!!

What about the lag? It will make GTAV unplayable via the HDMI passthrough.

 

[Roland Deschain]

Seriously thinking of driving to Germany tomorrow to try and find an X1...

 

[polyh3dron]

So far I have to say I like the DS4 and PS4 UI better.

Controller is fine but those bumpers are really bad.

UI seems like a big Metro clusterfuck.

Agreed on the UI, although I haven't hooked up the Kinect yet. PS4 UI is so much more straightforward.

 

[Special C]

Guys,

I'm been saying "Xbox, Show Up" all day and the UPS guy hasn't come yet. Am I getting the command wrong?

 

[GavinGT]

Guys,

Did you download the day 1 update?

 

[The_D]

Will Kinect Sports Rivals not start for anyone else? I downloaded it, load it up and it is at the start screen. I try hitting Start and the A button. Nothing. Tried waving my hand around to get a Kinect cursor. Nothing.

You have to hit right on the controller before you can select start. I have no idea why.

I hate the Kinect controls in it.

 

[FrankT]

Anybody test out the TV calibrator?

 

[nbraun80]

Mine arrived!

Asking again: anyone interested in the FIFA game? Would give away cheap.

Just wanted to say thanks for the game and the smooth transaction of trading codes.

 

[dragonelite]

Lol Ryse you can start the game at 3% but then you get with almost every option "installing...." screen.

 

[-PXG-]

The TV calibration and setup on this console should be standard. Sony, take notes. MS went above and beyond with that.

Fuck I don't wanna go to work.

 

[PAULINK]

Guys, I figured out how to download content for a game if you redeemed a code but did not download the dlc. Hover over the game in the dash, press the menu button(the one on the right side) and then there will be an option that says "show all add ons".

Man I'm tired, forza's great, and haven't even touched Dead Rising 3 yet! Going to save that for tomorrow. Any gaf impressions on Crimson Dragon yet? Still thinking about biting the bullet.

 

[StaSeb]

In the Chrimson Dragon OT the talk about a patch that softens a lot of the grindy mechanics - more XP per mission, more items, more ingame-currency. If you are looking forward to it, keep at it!

 

[Justice_dp]

Anyone of the european guys interested in a trade of the pack ins?

I got a Fifa 14 code with my box and would like to trade it against Forza 5 or one of the XBL 12 month Day one package with KI?

 

[operon]

sucks still have 5 hours in work before I get home and start unboxing.

 

[GavinGT]

I'll ask again before going to bed: does Flash in IE work on every site? Is it there at all?

 

[mocoworm]

What's the consensus on this now? Posted on OCT 28th

http://doddscientifics.com/2013/10/28/xbox-one-os-and-xbox-live-issues-bouncing-about-as-we-approach-launch/

The short story is that Xbox Live and the OS, especially in functions that involve XBL, are a complete fucking mess. One source says we aren’t talking weeks until it works correctly but “months.” Things like parties dropping people when moving from one thing to another. Connectivity issues. Missed invites. Friend requests not working, etc.

“Let me get into some technical detail regarding it – on 360, the OS handles all of the party and chat functionality. All you do is hook up the XBL VOiP OS API into your game, and it does most of the work for you. With it results in is a shared experience across multiple entertainment. If you’re watching movies or playing games, you can do it together. However, this system is entirely different on Xbox One. So, lets say me, you, and Thuway have xbox one’s that are online. We are signed in our profiles. Sitting at the home screen, we are considered to be in a “Xbox Party” on the server. There are no more ‘party leaders’. With that said if any one of us decide to start a game, the party is shifted over to that game’s party system. Each game now has their custom written VOIP.” (Pete note: shoutout to thuway!)


I asked if could be fixed soon. He said that anything is possible and Microsoft is obviously working on it but he thinks it will be months, not weeks. Getting online launch games certified is taking so long that it’s pushing games after launch back.
