Things Xbox Should Really Consider

Mg0ld · May 26, 2014

There are many things that Xbox One got right with the new console, but there are also many things that could use improvements or things that could just be added in general. Here's a list I've come up with between a few of my friends and I:

We as the gamers should be able to post on the feeds that you've offered us. Example: posting a youtube video you want your friends to see or a link to a webpage you found.

When a new game is coming out, the idea of preloading a game seems like a pretty useful idea. Along with that, the games, when posted to the marketplace before they are able to be played should have a time for when they can be played advertised instead
of the very pointless and depressing "unavailable" message that already is in use.

Games should become available when they would be available in a store at a midnight release, as in when the time zone reaches the actual day the game should come out. Living in the east coast US is bad enough when half the world gets an upper hand in multiplayer,
but then we're forced to wait for it to be the next day on the other side of the country? That just becomes a massive slap in the face to wait til 3 a.m. when everyone else is given access at midnight.

Games that automatically make video clips on my upload should have a feature that allows for one to disable that feature. I don't care about leveling up in battlefield or scoring a touchdown in Madden.

Along the lines of the upload clips, deleting clips is worse than the 9th circle of hell. Is it too much to ask for a "delete selected" button so we can mass delete the videos that we don't want anymore? Text messages can do that. Are phones more sophisticated
than the Xbox One?

Is there any way that my mic can work when I join a party? It seems that every time I get into a party, my mic does not register and I have to sign in again to get the mic in working order. Just something to think about.

When I unplug my play and charge cable from my controller, does the controller have to turn off, or is there anyway that can be fixed? It's pretty annoying.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who wants this, but when I need to go away from my box for something for a period of time, I wish there was some kind of away message that could be put up. For instance, I am idle for 15 minutes so my xbox account goes
into away mode. In this mode, whenever someone sends me a game invite or a party invite or anything of the sort, the person sending the message will receive a notification back that I am currently away so that way they know I might not be joining whatever
it is that they wanted me to join for some unknown time and I'm not just ignoring them.

These are just a few things that I feel should be added, removed, or changed that would help make the Xbox One a better experience for gamers that are looking for a great console. If anyone else has any feedback on any of these ideas or would like to add
to this list, I'd love to here from you.

Frequent Video Buffering

A lot of things can effect download speeds but as I said you are really at the bare minimum for Xbox LIVE. You should consider upgrading to a faster plan or ISP.

I sent you a F/R, Im sure we could really tear things up in MM. Also, you should consider comming to my game night hosted every monday.

Good list, maybe post it in the feedback forums where Microsoft might actually be listening?

I havent looked at it Like that But Yeah Thats a good Point And Yeah your right It may cause more issues than fix them

Unfortunately no. The games are rated for things like that, but Live is not. So everything on Live has to remain E for everyone.

From a moderation standpoint, it's also easier to make it more black and white than creating grey area. Otherwise, you have someone going "well I said the same thing as that person but why didn't they get a suspension" only because they are playing a different
type of game. You also just never know who you're playing with.

Even though a game may be rated for adults, not all adults want to hear that kind of language coming at them from other gamers.

Agree with Smwutches. I personally dont want to be cursed out on any game regardless of the rating. The ESRB didnt intend for the game ratings to govern things like player hostility.

kind of like “if youre in a bar you should able to physically attack people but if its a restaurant you should only give dirty looks”
