This describes my opinion 100% accurately about the XB1. Swearing included, highly recommend watching this, this bloke is a legend.

Kinect responds to my voice command instantly, not like in that video but I agree with the delays, it takes way to long to load things, has to be a lot faster.

I found the voice command thing a bit stupid as he said the command once, then said it wrong then started swearing at it haha. I like the voice commands, but anything it redirects you to takes hours to load.

Seriously, the xbox was always going to have this UI? it was no secret. I like it, you don't. I get why people like you are complaining, as its not perfect, but what I don't get is why you bought the xbox one???

Microsoft said from day one that they will continue to improve the console with updates and feedback from users, just like the xbox360 evolved. What were you expecting? Some people should just stay off next gen for 12 months after launch and then jump on board.

Usually what I do, I can tolerate the bugs at launch and understand changes are going to be made to make it a better experience but it's just easier for me to wait and finish what I have to on the previous gen consoles, and move on when they've ironed out the kinks and there's a bigger library on offer. Just makes sense to me.

 

[Hate]

In all honesty at the release of this console, it was pretty much half a 360. There was features that SHOULD have been already there, not in updates. I say this because they have been on a console before for YEARS, I'm sure it wasn't that hard to add.

Examples being friend notifications, storage management, BATTERY INDICATOR and more. I do understand that it was always going to be lacking features at release, so not sure why people are full on dead set being serious and having a go at MS for it. Over the next year or two they will iron everything out and it'll be a great UI and experience for everyone.

I remember when you couldn't copy and paste on an iPhone. should have been simple but apparently it wasn't. they did fix it eventually.

You nerds complaining about the Xbox 1 need to stfu, what did you expect with a next gen console? Everyone knew there were going to be bugs to iron out, updates to stream line your experience and better the machine. We won't really see the actual peak of the machine for another 2 years at least, game developers need to utilize the machines power and capabilities so the visual continue to improve.

I play mostly sport games, I have Ryse and the visuals and game play are awesome, a total step up from past gen consoles and honestly Ryse visually is a hell of alot better than what I have played on the PS4 and I have both. NBA 2K14 looks amazing, god help my mrs when 2K actually start crisping out some of the blocky movements of the game. FIFA15 I will be looking forward to, the game play is almost perfect but graphic wise still needs work done.

Be appreciative we have such a diverse console, yes there are bugs, yes the library isn't what we'd like it to be and obviously the download times are annoying but overall it's a really fun machine.

Do you remember when Ios 6 had copy and paste, and then they didn't implement it in Ios 7? Even better it's all okay because it's a 'new console'. Why is that even an excuse? I was expecting a UI that wasn't 3 steps down from the one they've already made.

Apparently 25 new games as well.

We’re in the midst of a golden age of independent games, and the ID@Xbox team could not be more excited! Last month, we announced a second wave of independent developers who’ve signed on to the program, and more than 250 developers have now received development kits for Xbox One via the ID@Xbox program. Now, as GDC kicks off in San Francisco, we’re excited to tell you about 25 games coming to Xbox One through ID@Xbox.

“Since we first announced the program in August, we’ve been working closely with developers to bring a diverse array of independent games to Xbox One,” said ID@Xbox Games Director Chris Charla. “Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible so developers can focus on what matters most: creating the games you’re beginning to see today!”

This initial sample features an exciting and diverse group from nine countries around the world. There are brand new innovations like “It Draws a Red Box” and “FRU,” which are taking advantage of Xbox One features in new and exciting ways with local 8-player gameplay and Kinect integration. Existing fan favorites are also being brought to the platform, including “Strike Suit Zero” and “Divekick.”

“Our goal has always been to make Xbox One the best place to play games, and that means having a diverse portfolio for gamers to choose from,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Studios. “We’ve worked closely with independent developers to bring their own brand of creativity and innovation to the platform and today is just the beginning.”

Look for ID@Xbox game titles in the Xbox store in the coming weeks, including “Strike Suit Zero,” “Nutjitsu,” “1001 Spikes” and more. “It Draws a Red Box” will also be available to play in the Microsoft Lobby Bar at GDC, and “Aztez” from Team Colorblind will be in the Unity booth.

Check out the full list below for more information. Remember, these games are coming to Xbox One soon, but this list is neither comprehensive nor chronological. There are many more games in the pipeline coming via ID@Xbox, such as “Pool Nation FX,” “Another World,” “Stick it to the Man,” “Ninja Cowboys,” “Mortar Melon” and “The ARC,” and we look forward to sharing more soon!
