  1. My first week with Xbox was a nightmare


    Me and my brother was too bored from PC and PS4 Pro. And I insisted my brother to pass Xbox Series and buy ourselves 2 years of Xbox Game Pass.

    But my brother was too suspicious about because we never had one.

    Anyways. We bought 1 XSS (for my brother because he didn't trusted) and 1 XSX for me.

    At the beginning he impressed from Gamepass. Library is too good to be true. But after that every experience become a nightmare.

    First he tried his headsets. Then realized Xbox only compatible with a few wireless headsets! That SUCKS! My brothers wireless Razer and Logitech headsets become a trash.

    After that we found an old 3.5 mm Logitech G633 headset and plugged it on controller. And another time he shocked. Because even we plugged headset to controller and Xbox works with it, sound is still coming from TV too.

    Guys that SUCKS. I This is just a minute for a real developer for blocking 2 ways of sound. Even iPhone 5 can do it.

    Anyways, we played game for a while but then realized another ****. If we play with headsets controller run out of battery too fast. I said "Calm down we can buy chargeable batteries". After that we bought 2 batteries.

    Day by day Series S started to find us another problem. 3rd day it was full of games (300 GB) and my brother wanted to use an external drive because he wanted to play Microsoft Flight Simulator. He always liked flying games and it is the best and completely free for now.

    First he cannot downloaded 100 GB. We bought an 2 TB USB drive and then realized we cannot play games on it and only storage on them. That SUCKS TOO. Barely we downloaded MS and remembered another Xbox disease. Xbox is not working with my Logitech Extreme 3D Joystick.

    Maybe u say, yes some of them is also problems on PS and PC but I never remembered so many issues on them. His steering wheel, 2 wireless headsets, 1 wired USB headset, Logitech Joystick, external drives vs. nothing works with it.

    3 days of a Xbox Series cost my brother 1 battery, 1 trash external drive and returned to PC gaming.

    The point he wonder is PC's software is too powerful and Xbox OS is the poorest and both are designed by same company.

    I think so called genius Phil believing in too much for Gamepass and xCloud and never think about software of Xbox anymore. That box is compatible with nothing. I call it "Can't Box Series S"

    By the way, most of gamepass games are looking like each other. Gears series, Outriders, Crackdown, Destiny, Doom etc. a Sci-Fi guy with non stop action. Another type is RPG like Fallout, We Happy Few, Outer Worlds etc. (I know about Bethesda and Obsidian)

    I believe gamepass needs more open world realistic games like RDR 2 or Ghost of Tsushima. Assassin's Creed Origins or Odyssey, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 5 or Ghost Recon Wildlands are Ubisoft alternatives. If you don't like Ubisoft repeating games, Mafia series, Witcher 3 or maybe Cyberpunk if you believe in project too much.

    The Series consoles are compatible with plenty of peripherals.Maybe you should of checked to see what ones worked before buying the consoles.

    I know i certainly would of if it was my first xbox.

    It's common knowledge that optimized games will only work on the internal ssd or the external ssd if you can buy one.

    Again,2 minutes research would of told you that.

    Non optimized games will work just fine on a external HDD.

    At least the Series consoles has external storage options,unlike another platform at the moment.

    All of the issues you've mentioned could of easily been avoided if you had done a little research.

    As for gamepass,some of the games you mentioned have been on there in the past & maybe will be back one day but in the meantime there's well over 200 games on there,including some open world games.

    My First Nightmare

    It's actually highly influenced by the Twin Peaks tv series, so that's why they did that. Fyi when you're all done with the came, check out the dlc. It helps to explain things...

    @Thookins: yeah - I played for a couple of hours, and completed Episode One. I love how it's presented like a tv series!

    Enjoy! It's a good one. Out of the hundreds of games I've played in my life, AW is definitely on my top ten list.

    My First Couple of Hours on Nightmare

    My go to team is 3 mages and one Tank. Iron bull as a Reaver damage dealer, Vivianne as a Mage healer and Damager, Dorion as a Necomancer and all round spirit damager with back up barrier capabilities and my main as a full on Damage Anti corrupt demon killer.
    Once you Craft armor with secondary powers like Hidden blades and Tower fights are completely different.
