One of the many "My feedback"-threads!

Just got my Xbox One yesterday, but didn't have much time with it yesterday outside setting it up. Since I'm from Finland, I had to import mine from Germany (I also have one preordered from Finland, guess I'll just sell that one away when it comes).



First thing I did I tried to go through the typical complaints and defect-types, but my unit seems pristine. Few software based glitches here and there and my biggest complaint would likely be the installation time off of disc. I know that it downloads patches
etc first, thus why it moves very slow, but even when it's purely at the disc phase, it takes a LONG time to install fe. Ryse. Not a biggier, I played Peggle 2 while installing and time flew by, but it's certainly no lightning fast. Probably at 10% (or less)
it said Ryse is ready to start, but I couldnt actually start the campaign or multiplayer until it was at 100%.



Ryse is the only "AAA title" I have at this point, I'm pretty much downloading all the demos available to try them out, but so far I've only really played Ryse, Peggle 2 and Killer Instinct. Ryse looks frigging amazing, better than anything I've ever had run
on my computer (and I have a gaming PC ). So far enjoying it, but I don't want to rush through it. I started out at the hardest difficulty available so I wouldn't just steamroll it (and harder difficulty encourages timing attacks and blocks etc better instead
of just smashing buttons). Peggle 2 is lots of fun for both me and the lady. Killer Instinct is frigging brutal. Even at the easiest difficulty I'm having issues. Partially cos all the tutorials were for Jago and now Saberwolf is the free rotated character.
I'm planning to get probably Orchid and Spinal at least, but havn't got around to that. Might get the Combo Breaker Pack, but I'm not all that big of a fan of fighting games. On the easiest difficulty the "bots" arnt very aggressive, but when they actually
do something they usually do some huge 12+ attack combo that takes a quarter of my health lol



Voice commands and hand gestures are working like a charm. The only time voice commands typically don't work is when it's a user error and the command was wrong or I was trying my luck if it would hear me all the way from the kitchen My fiancee has no trouble
commanding it too and neither of us are native english speakers. Hand gestures are really great and not a gimmick for me. I can do little things without powering the controller (and wasting battery) or having to find it lol. In Netflix using it was pretty
hard when if it thinks you have your hand in a fist, it goes into the "scan" mode where you can select what part of movie you want to play, so after initiating the hand gestures I had hard time "getting out of them" without jumping around the movie lol, but
that's more of a flaw in the Netflix app, as it will go into that "scan mode" whereever you hand is in a fist, as opposed to fe. having to "grab" the "timeline"/buffer bar thing. But both voice commands and hand gestures work really great and I love em!



I had previous experience with the controller and I loved it already months ago and I still love it, not much to say about it, Xbox controllers (well, at least 360 and One) are pure awesomeness, and they fixed the minor problems of the 360 to make it super
awesome. I never had a 360 so I didnt have to "adapt" to the One controller, as I didnt have any day-to-day experience of 360 controller, I play 360 at my friends place maybe once a month or so, so I'm not exactly adapted to that controller in the first place.



Overall I'm very happy so far. Can't wait for new games to come out and get to try them. The software obviously needs more work, that's no secret, but in that regard I have faith in the Xbox team, it's gonna be very solid one day and I'll love it a little bit
more every day!

Xbox 360 Controller vs Xbox One Controller, your thoughts?

[quote user="Fluffy Neo"]

I think the Xbox one controller sticks are junk. They are a loose as 5 year old 360 controller and its brand new. It's the reason I sold my Xbox one and got my 360 back.

Someone forgot the BF Hardline forum section

Reminds me of the time they were moving feedback threads to the locked feedback section.

 

Very well written piece my friend. Well thought out. Good to see you like it and like you said it has a few missing features and such but it's a breath of fresh air to see someone who understands that it will be fixed. Excellent post mate. Welcome to the
x1 family!

 

People are always so happy the first couple of days. lol

 

I'm still happy and I got mine on day one. Been more than a few days.

 

and the systems we have right now are about as bare boned as you can get and still be released... wait for 6 months.. when we have all the bells and whistles ringing and whistling...

I don't think it will considerably change unless somehow the system stops working as well as it does now.



I'm not denying there arn't problems, I listed few of them there. But most of my problems/glitches/issues would so far revolve around installing games (they all fixed themselves, but had to try a few times etc). Kinect really works perfectly for me and that
was one of the things I was most excited for beforehand.



As said, unless the system's performance goes down, I don't see why would I not really be happy anymore. Obviously the novelty wears off at some point, but fe. when I got my Surface RT, obviously there was the first days novelty, but I still absolutely love
the device and it has improved a lot over the year I've owned it. I don't see why Xbox One would be different with great games coming up too.



And as said, I also have a gaming PC, so it's not like this is some "second coming of Jesus" for me in terms of gaming, but so far my expectations have been met very nicely.



I was a bit worried over navigating the system cos I read complaints about the UI being quite a mess to navigate unless you use Kinect, but I havn't had any problems with this. Perhaps cos I've seen a few UI tutorials etc before I got the device so I knew
the basics.
