Never had NAT issues on 360. Can't play. Multiplayer or do party chat on XB1. Nothing is being done about it.

Major Nelson specifically addressed people with chat and connection issues being a top priority. It was taken as "confirmation" of mortiner's 'Xbox live totally broken, getting overhauled in a year' rumour though.

So yeah, they're aware there's issues. I had a strict nat, fixed by turning off upnp on my router.

Achievements only register when online? So I wanted to check out Ryse before installing the 1.2GB update so I disconnected the XB1 from the internet.

Played the first 3 levels (loved it) then quit and installed Dead Rising 3 which I then played for about 30 minutes. Once I was done playing I connected back to Live to allow the games to update with the patches.

Well I must have gotten 20-30 achievement notifications pop up in a row. Can you imagine if you kept your XB1 offline for months and gained hundreds of achievements then connected it to Live? ;p

that's weird. I didn't know this, so technically you could play entire single player without unlocking any achievements. But in the system they are stored somewhere, but only triggered when you go online. Makes no sense what so ever. Common MS.

Anyone having controller sync issues? Mine randomly cuts out for a few seconds like the old Sixaxis did.

I'm getting a 2nd controller today. If it disconnects I'm going to be calling MS to return my One. Mine disconnects every time I play. What I noticed was that if I point the controller downward at all while on the sofa it disconnects. The One is where my 360 and PS4 are and they don't have this issue, none are using WiFi.

Which is silly. He's been here three years, which is plenty long enough to know what happens when you keep tossing that junior shit around. Just go inform a mod and they'll take care of it.
 
Hey there, just got activated so I thought I'd check in. I purchased a day one xbox, and its been pretty much flawless. I did have an issue where DR3 didnt want to load, It would show the splash screen and then return home. That was resolved with a full restart.

I started with (in no particular order) KI, Forza, and DR3, then added Ryse. Been pleased with all the purchases, (only so far in to Ryse, but it got a bit of bum rap). I went digital, and I dont miss my discs at all. I did have the long download times that I fully expected on day one, but as I expected them and was prepared I put that down to the cost of day one.

The Kinect is a sweetheart. Love how smoothly the UI works with it. I really like maintaining my connectivity to my friends on live while I watch tv. I also get a kick out the game DVR, looking forward to the twitch app.

I guess the biggest disappointment is knowing that it could have been even better if the Internet hadn't gotten it's collective panties in a bunch over DRM.
 
I was in love with this console the first week. The party chat debacle is seriously tarnishing my enjoyment. I have looked past all Microsofts missteps so far, but when it comes to something as essential as a functioning party chat, it's seriously infuriating.

I've tried several times to get it to work with friends, but haven't been able to once. I'm honestly baffled at how Microsoft could go from the perfect set up with the 360 to a non-functioning version with the Xbox One. I know they're working on a fix, but I hope it comes sooner than later.

Great. I don't have any secondary controllers either at the moment. Guess I'll look into a full console return. Ugh.

Been using it here at work quite a lot.
 
Here is an interesting tidbit. If I set up Kinect with my contacts in Kinect won't recognize me in my glasses. If I set up Kinect with my glasses on it recognizes me either way.
 
I think I'm gonna return my Xbox One...if it's even allowed by Best Buy. There's nothing wrong with the system and I didn't really have any issues. It doesn't really have the games that I want to play. I remember doing the same thing for the 360 launch. I wanted to play my Counter Strike from the original Xbox and it wouldn't play, so I just took it back to walmart and bought a 360 a few years later.

Is there a list of the upcoming games that are coming out with an actual release date? I may just wait.

Hmmm...another question. Is anyone inputting their 360 into the XB1? Any issues? Is it even possible?

My xbox one came with a faulty controller. The left bumper is extremely loose and it bothered the hell out of me for a $500 hardware.

Went on the microsoft website, asked for a call.

I got called in under 5 minutes, 5 minutes later I had a brand new controller being sent priority 2 day to my house. No credit card needed, nothing. Just my serial number.

What just happened? This was excellent support, unprecedented quality. A+ Microsoft, A+ wow
Click to expand...

I have the same issue with my right bumper on my Day One controller, MS wanted me to send it from the UK to the Czech Republic and wait up to 28 days for a repair/replacement. Earlier today they agreed to let me send it to somewhere in the UK and got the repair time down to 10-15 days. I thought I did well until I read your post!

Edit: This costs me money to send the controller as well, no pick up or pre-paid label offered :(
 
So, Monday night I was playing Forza while the football game was snapped while in party chat using the Kinect as a mic and texting my brother on my phone during loading segments.

I never thought I'd be using all that shit at once... but I did. Just wanted to get that out there.

Project Spark is the next big release and after that there is this small game you might have heard the name called Titanfall :)
And yes I tried having 360 through HDMI, it shows lag; so no point of connecting it through One.

there's a screen lag, (only tried playing battlefield 4 online) and it just didn't feel right. Now I just swap hdmi from 360 to x1 with whichever I wanna play.

Anyone ever plug their kinect in and have it not recognized as being plugged in? Just turned my x1 on this morning (with kinect unplugged) then when it got to the dash, I plugged it in so it would auto sign me in and the light wouldn't come on? I unplugged and plugged it back in and nothing changed..

I tried to get some achievment in FIFA and couldn't so I turned it off cause I had to run to work. Hoping something was on the fritz and it'll work when I get home.

you bought an X1 without looking at the games list?
 
so I bought an xbone, best exclusive I should buy? wallet is kinda light so I can only get one game and I'm gonna get Killer instinct too.

Ha. I preordered a while ago and for some reason thought Titanfall was a launch game. Been going back and forth on the other games. Don't really care for CoD or Battlefield in general, but was gonna get one of those for multiplayer. Seems like BF4 is still kinda shit. Haven't seen anything about CoD multiplayer. Eh, if I keep it I'll just buy something on impulse....kiiiiinda like I did with the system.

you've only got a few months until Titanfall. Also, Thief comes out in February. In the meantime, Forza, Dead Rising, Killer Instinct........... Peggle 2. :)

The most enjoyable game is Dead Rising 3, IMO.
Forza 5 is a very pretty and good racing game, and Ryse is eyecandy with simple brawler gameplay.

Aw, don't get him in trouble. The guy is overly proud of a forum title. His actual life must be awful. Getting him banned would destroy him.
 
The glasses thing is annoying. There should be a way to store multiple face profiles to an account.

Funny thing is that if you have two people who have the same frames, it'll actually mistake them for the other person sometimes.
 
I still can't play FIFA 14 online - it's utterly crippled by lag.

FIFA 13 on the 360 on exactly the same network connection (literally - I moved the network cable from one to the other) is fine.

I'm completely baffled... anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

there is. it always says "we'll remember you better next time". Pretty sure it takes all versions of you and uses them.

It replaces homing/spiral stuff with the special powers. So, instead of homing, Reiko has a magnetized cup, that attracts the ball. The IAP doesn't bug me. There's generally plenty of cash to buy booster packs, with the exception of the very highest rated boosters. I'm early enough in the game that they seem very expensive, but that may change as I progress.

Cool...I've been playing a lot of HSG recently so this is throwing me a little being similar but different -- calculating wind and elevation in particular. Played about an hour last night. Solid title if you like golf games. Definitely nice for someone looking for an HSG fix.

Pros vs. HSG
-Packs are fun.
-Abilities are cool though I haven't had the chance to play with more than a couple of them.
-Physics are generally pretty good. Not on HSG level but I will list it as a pro as it definitely doesn't feel pre-set like most other golf titles outside of HSG.
-Meter is a copy of HSG but feels good -- nice balance there in that at least starting out it's tough to hit a perfect shot and the degree of draw/fade is fair depending on how much you missed by.

Cons vs. HSG
-Very little audio feedback when you hit trees, bunker, etc. Physics when you hit trees is weird -- it seems to go through but just slow down without changing direction? I can't really tell but the interaction with the environment in HSG feels much more "real" to me. Stuff like ball floating over bunkers is weird.
-This is probably just a matter of taste, but I miss being able to set where you hit the ball on the fly, which also feels more real than just predetermining. Also does hitting the ball low give it more of an arc? I haven't noticed. Seems like you need to do "chip" instead?
-Kind of don't like knowing exact wind speed and exact trajectory (that doesn't factor in wind, but still). Maybe personal preference.
-Environment overall feels pretty dead.

Will play more tonight -- want to get some of those Elite packs and see what's in there.
 
I'm hoping we get more F2P stuff soon. Really jealous of the ports the PS4 is getting. I have a gaming PC I could (and have) played a lot of that stuff on, but it would be nice to do it on the couch in front of a TV.

KI is nice, but they dropped the ball on getting this third party stuff onto the platform.

Cheers mate. I tried this too. Only way to get open is to go direct from wall to xbox with Ethernet.
 
So really struggling to like it today :(

- I really dislike the UI/OS

- The pad is weird and they fucked up the triggers , it feels like the shitty 3rd party pad I bought for my PC before I started using a 360 pad.

+ KI is kinda fun.

I've only had a 5-6 hours with it but not a positive first impression , especially compared to my other recent purchase. Going to have to try and setup Kinect again later because it barely works for me and I dislike sitting in my living room saying xbox 5 times before it hears me.

Turn your speakers up loud for Kinect setup. If they're too loud, it'll tell you. Just turn them down a bit and try again. Do this until it doesn't complain. I did this and mine seems really responsive, even if I'm not speaking particularly loud. I've seen others say they've gotten similar results. Gestures are terrible for me, but I'm in a desk setup and 3 feet from Kinect, so that could be my problem.

I actually really like the triggers. Even on 360 I use the middle section of my index finger for both triggers and bumpers, and the width of the new triggers feels nice. Not so much the bumpers, but I'm getting used to them. I'm still unsure about the looseness of the sticks though. They were fine for DR3, but for Battlefield 4 they feel odd.

Wow that's not cool.

I was happy when I got accepted into GAF. And I like the strict moderating in this site so everyone (almost) stays mature.


So I heard juniors gets treated like freshmans in HS. But I haven't seen no such till this post.

Has Microsoft (or any employees) talked at all about what they're working on next for the One/Xbox OS?

We should get together a definitive list of things that can be improved within the OS.

exactly

everyone wants everything now and we forget how it develops over time

I am thrilled with where they are starting (love voice commands) and look forward to see what's next with how they refine and improve the experience because one thing we know about MS is they constantly are updating software
 
Finished ryse last night hot damn that ending was fucking awesome......going to probably play some co-op tonight and wreck some people in the arenas.
