Yeah, the video uploads are begging for a web site with filtering and sorting and all kinds of good ways to let the cool stuff float to the top.
Ok i cant win. This one is now doing the exact same thing, and no im not trolling. Best buy is closed now so I cant ask, but can I just bring the console back in for a full refund?! I know im out of luck on my opened DR3 but is it possible or is it only going to be for store credit. Beyond frustrated at this point.
it's called downloading and posting wherever you want. Youtube, Facebook, etc.

Wow! That looks incredible
This is not surprising at all. XB1 had a bigger exclusive launch lineup. There's more to play on it at this moment in time. I haven't played on my PS4 in days. I'm just waiting until more games come out.
That Ryse clip was great. I really wish we had the ability to remove the UI from clips because then it would be perfect.
Obviously, but I would like something more organized. Like Miiverse I guess (but I've never used it). At least a like button to determine the featured clips in Upload. I really have no idea how they're chosen now, because some of them are terrible
As an example, I was watching a (featured) clip in Upload about how to get the Ultimate Grim Reaper in DR3 which just showed the location of one blueprint. I wanted to make a comment that the blueprints are dynamic based on the order you get them, so that will only be the UGR blueprint if you have all the precursors
noted. that could be neat, but then again MS can't police it so I doubt it'd happen. We don't even have typed profiles anymore.
Nice clip. My TV must be shit or something, those colour prompts for the execution look really bright compared to when I play, that must be why I fail them sometimes with the wrong button press.
While we're on the topic of game clips I just want to add this; I freakin' love Game DVR. I am so happy that it was built into the system. The stuff that I've been able to capture over the past few days has lead me to learn more about video editing than anything else. That being said, it has also lead to some unforeseen and unfortunate consequences. Through Game DVR I have rediscovered a particular level of immaturity that I once thought that I had rid myself of many years ago. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the fruits of my labor for the past few hours. Warning: the following video may result in brain cell death.
Its great if your a racing fan of course, plus they just had an update today that adding some game modes and made every car far more affordable.
The Ryse vid was cinematic and everything, but does it do that slow motion shit all the time ? It just killed any desire I had to pick up the game.

So, now I just need someone to tell me that have a crooked Kinect so I can not be the only one lol.

The on screen one had some issues, but the controller one was near perfect. To ditch both of them was an incredibly stupid thing to do...
Had they at least kept the controller based one, it wouldn't be that much of an issue. Have the light turn red or become dimmer or something...to have absolutely no way of knowing if your battery low is inexcusable...
Lol. The ending? Amazing!

Not so fast. You still have the epilogue Case West, not to mention the alternate universe Off the Record.
something fishy

Very good!

I really hope nobody saw my BF4 level up auto uploaded video. The switch from 30-60fps has not been kind. I'm like a baby learning to walk again. I swear it took me 10 seconds to kill this guy. It was like an old western movie where they shoot at a guys feet to make him dance.
Well yeah they have to give you some time to press the button jah.
LOL, that's what I just wanted to post. Ryse looks absolutely annoying in videos with the slowmo. I can however tell you that it's not a problem at all ingame. In the game it makes sense, watching a video it's just stupid. So don't make your decision based on that, the game is great.
Only if you want to finish of enemys with executions. (which is optional)

There must be more in that update. It weighs about 4GB. That's more than half the entire game.
Lowering the price of a wingman seems silly. At least I've never had any trouble with credits and I had tons of money near the end.
Edit:
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is released it weighs 2.98GB and costs $14.99,-

Simply change your country to the US and let the console reboot. To add a credit card you'll need a billing address in the US. Simply enter a random address from a store and you're good to go. If you're having trouble with adding a credit card take a look in this thread.
Could I just use my Paypal instead of a credit card?
Or would Paypal flag it up as a bad purchase?
Interesting thread I made yesterday that kind of relates to that:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=736945
Was surprised at how many PS4 owners felt like they had nothing to play. People with Xbox Ones felt similar to the way I described in the OP though.

Don't know. I didn't get the option to add a paypal account on my One, and I can only add a credit card under "Payment & Billing" in the menu. You can try it via xbox.com(set the site to the US via the country option below) but I doubt that paypal will work.
Yes you can, just follow what I said above and you're good to go. I'm proof that it works. I live in The Netherlands have a Dutch credit card and I can buy stuff from the US marketplace without any trouble.
I can add a Paypal on xbox.com.
I'm worried that Paypal might flag it up as a weird purchase though.
Edit: Apparently you can't add a Paypal account straight from the console, I think you can still use it though.

Exactly the same. I only planned to get a PS4 next year, but fell for the hype. I played killzone for few days and haven't turned my ps4 on again since.
Meanwhile the Xbox is the first thing I turn on in the day and the last thing that turns off at night.
Every. Single. Day. (since launch)
I'm really contemplating selling my PS4 for now as I just have zero use for it.
To make matters worse, the fact that it kind of "kills" the totally integrated entertainment system that the XB1 creates where everything I want is just a button press, voice command or hand gesture away, it makes me feel even less driven to use it because its a totally segregated experience.

No you initiate it. You don't ever have to do it.
Exactly how I feel. Last gen I never got a PS3 after owning PS and PS2. I think there's a good chance I'm getting a PS4 this gen. But I'm already getting the feeling I'm going to feel "disconnected" when I use the PS4. I already feel that way when I boot up the 360 now.
Thank you. It's only until now that I realized how grammatically incorrect my initial post was

Got my Xbox One yesterday.
Overall, great experience !
Even though i played most of the games released at my friend's house. I was amazed how some games looked very good on my tv. Colors feel more vivid on Xbox One than PS4. On PS4, games have that washed out look to them but have better resolution. Maybe that doesn't say much but games on Xbox One definitely look great !
Killer Instinct is amazing, haters can say whatever they want but i'm getting a grip on the game and it's mad mad fun !
Tried some Battlefield 4 and that also looks very good on my tv.
I didn't have any problems with crushed blacks, games look great on my tv as i said.
Downloads were extremely fast, i think they were even faster than my PS4. Downloaded Killer Instinct in 12 minutes, Kinect Sports Rivals in like 10 minutes... i was impressed !
My Kinect doesn't seem to work well all the time though, had some difficulties in Kinect Sports Rivals recognizing my gestures, especially in the menu...
Controller is great but i'm still not sure if it's better than the PS4 controller, triggers and sticks are definitely better, they feel so good !!! Bumpers on the other hand, RB and LB, suck big time though, many times i press with the tip of my fingers and it just doesn't feel right.
Overall, i would say the system is great, i'm enjoying the games more because there's variety compared to PS4. People did exaggerate how the XB1 is, there is way too many negativity towards the XB1 that is not deserved imo. Playing Killer Instinct alone felt so good ! Seriously, this game is underrated, it's probably one of the best remakes in fighting games i've ever seen, the music, the announcer, the combos are so fun to execute !
The system definitely needs to be refined, some sections are hard to find, navigating the menus with the controller needs to be more intuitive and easy, some things need to be faster also... but that's no big deal as the games play right and an update will come to rectify this.
Now, i'm probably gonna buy Forza 5 as i need my racing games fix asap ! Also looking forward to Ryse but i will not pay 60$ for the game as i heard it's short. Will wait for a deal...

Gonna grab an xbone this weekend, was wondering how zoo tycoon is?
It just wasn't accurate, to me. Sometimes it would not stop flashing and it would say 50%. Sometimes I'd ignore the flashing and it would still keep on playing for hours. It was useless, to me. Mainly a way to toss out perfectly good batteries (or replace rechargeables for no reason).
All the Tycoon people I know really like it. It's not my speed but I like blasting the elephant babies with the Kinect hose.

Download speeds are great. Xbox One is the first console to max out my internet connection.
As for the bumpers/triggers on the controller. I found myself a new position to hold it in and it's surprisingly more comfortable than other controller I've held.
Try holding the controller like this:
First part of your finger rests on the bumper and the rest of finger rests on the trigger. This way you'll never hit the blind spot of the bumpers and can easily use both the trigger and bumper at the same time without adjusting the position of your finger.
Apologies for the bad angle, it isn't easy taking a picture with a smarthphone at that angle while still holding the controller properly.
I liked the previous Zoo Tycoons but this one is not my cup of tea. There's a demo on the marketplace, I suggest you try that before buying the real thing.
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is released it weighs 2.98GB and costs $14.99,-
That actually looks kind of neat.
The slowdown is something you will want to happen many many times, the gameplay mechanic is pretty rewarding and it saves your ass too, you won't be mad with them when playing, I guarantee

Game dvr is definitely my favorite feature that really makes it feel next gen. Playing battlefield, taking down a heli on foot and being able to say "xbox record that" is just amazing.
