So will trolling get any worse or better after the launch, will the likes of Netbuff be out of a job

Are you saying these things shouldn't be discussed on a gaming forum? Indirect threadwhining?

Embargo's up, son. All will be revealed, for better or worse.

Since when did trolling become discussion. You can discuss things but when some people have an obvious agenda it makes a honest discussion extremely difficult. So spare the indirect threadwhining nonsense please

No problem highlighting issues, but if then both.

I highly doubt it. You would think fanboys would be busy playing their games (unless he's waiting like all euros) instead of continuing to troll.
Anyways, best to ignore that stuff and not derail the thread.

Has MS store shipped for you guys? My Amazon shipped some games today but not all of them despite all having 22nd November delivery estimate.

possibly, just be glad when things settle down in here, and the console fanboys on both sides spend more time on their respective consoles than on here.

 

[wittengstein]

Can you guys look at FordGTGuy's post history and tell me he is not a marketing shill? Nearly every post is just defending the system and speaking in weird PR speak. It's incredibly odd.

How is FordGTGuy any worse than Artist,NetBuff,Gemüsepizza and many other Sony fanboys whose nicks i can't remember at the moment.
At least FordGTGuy has nice things to say about competition every once in a while,while those other guys act like Sony is the second coming.

Also quoting this for the new page,because why not?

Mainstream media seems really impressed. Nearly every review I've read has referred to it as futuristic or the future.


Xbox One Is a Slice of the Future - Rolling Stone

Xbox One a great game player _ and more - AP

Xbox One review: This is the console of the future - Fortune

Xbox One: A family-focused console that goes beyond gaming - Washington Post

Xbox One review: Compelling console with a strong lineup of games - NBC News

Some mainstream sites were really definitive in saying the Xbox One was definitely the best choice this holiday:

"Forza Motorsport 5," the latest auto racing simulator from Microsoft's Turn 10 Studios, takes full advantage of the Xbox One's graphic oomph. You can see the attention to detail in every car. From the driver's seat, you can read every instrument on the dashboard. The beauty extends to the gorgeous environments, from the Bernese Alps to the streets of Prague to famous racetracks like the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Microsoft does, however, arguably have a stronger launch lineup of games, bringing heavy-hitters such as “Forza Motorsport 5” and “Ryse: Son of Rome,” which shows the promise and limitations of the Kinect’s potential for gaming.


They all seemed to love Ryse and Forza the best.

Launch shapes up to be great,will join you guys sometime next year(hopefully).

Why the derail?

It seems you only ever come into Xbox threads to discuss negative news, and never the fact we are 2 days away from a new console launch.

Microsoft's Xbone's weak points needs to be exposed. From most reports, their next console is weaker in almost every category, down to even the boot time compared to PS4. Voicing our concerns is the first step in helping them improve on their next console (if there is going to be another one).

 

[abracadaver]

Please help me

Open the smartglass app for xbox one and search killer instinct

Is there a search result for killer instinct classic ?


I still fear that KI classic will not be available in germany. In the search it doesnt show up for me

[Riky]

Going to midnight launch so looking at tomorrow as launch in my mind, so hyped. Been 17 years since Killer Instinct Gold and I seriously can't wait, Dead Rising 3 looks like a lot of fun and I know Forza will be solid.

So excited.

Fair point, but this is launch lol. There have always been problems and grievances at this point. I'm sure they be solving the issues over the next few weeks/months.

[S0cc3rpunk]

30 more minutes wish me luck you guys really wanna get an xbox one on amazon

 

[Neifirst]

I need some Killer Instinct info, please.

I plan on getting the Day One Xbox Live subscription card that comes with the $20 version of KI. Can you then pay an additional $20 to upgrade to the Ultra edition through the Xbox store? I really want to play the classic game too.

 

[abracadaver]

KI classic only comes with the Ultra edition

Does it show up in the search results ?

 

[Vee_One]

Every Xbox related thread on GAF other than this one makes my brain hurt.

 

[operon]

Does it show up in the search results ?

no, Killer Instinct, Killer Instinct Ultra edition add on , and Killer Instinct combo edition add on show up in search. Uk here Killer instinct arcade only comes with the ultra edition and is not available on its own so I would imagine that why it doesn't show up on it's own

You can upgrade but the day one live gold does only come with 1 character, not the 20$ game

 

[Ecto311]

Anyone know if you can sign in and get the day one achievement then let someone else sign in and get that same achievement in the launch day unit on the release date?

 

[Gen.Grievous]

All these mainstream sites look at game consoles differently than we do. The Xbox One is not a pure gaming console like the PS4 is so it's not surprising that they prefer the Xbox One. Microsoft chose a different route than Sony.

 

[operon]

Anyone know if you can sign in and get the day one achievement then let someone else sign in and get that same achievement in the launch day unit on the release date?

I think and I could be wrong that it comes as a code to add rather than actually logging day one. So that wouldn't work but I could be wrong it's happened before many times

 

[VE3TRO]

So the only difference between the standard edition and Day One is this?

• Day One Achievement
• Day One Controller
• Fancy Black Packaging
• Free FIFA 14/Forza for Europe

It looks like I can get Forza 5 code free with the standard edition at GAME so if the only thing I'm missing out on is the other 3 things listed I'm not that bothered unless I've missed something?

 

[abracadaver]

no, Killer Instinct, Killer Instinct Ultra edition add on , and Killer Instinct combo edition add on show up in search. Uk here Killer instinct arcade only comes with the ultra edition and is not available on its own so I would imagine that why it doesn't show up on it's own

Thanks

I can still hope that we will get it too then

 

[Gorki247]

Seems like OneGuide is available in Germany at launch.

That page is also available for the UK and we know that one won't be available for launch (unless something changed).

Thanks for the information. I only made the decision to get an X1 a few days ago, so I hadn't been following the news much at all. I guess I'm in for the Ultra edition!

Course they have to be exposed, I'm buying one I want it working and every advertise feature working as they have it will but there is a difference in saying there is a problem and discussing when will it be fixed pressure on ms etc to fix it and posting a problem in a ha ha start another bashing thread. But don't want to move the discussion offtopic so will say no more

It could be because you can have app channels in the guide as well so while the tv channels may not be supported yet the app channels will

 

[Fahrenheit]

So I've been messing with my Xbone controller since yesterday. Feels great in my hands except something is off about the sticks. They feel really loose. So I did a simple comparison...

Not only are the stinks looser then the DS4 but its looser then the DS3. While sure I haven't played a game with it I gotta say I hated how loose the DS3 sticks where.

 

[MikeE21286]

^^Interesting....I wasn't a huge fan of the loose DS3 sticks myself.

 

[Terbinator]

OTOH you certainly have more grip with the Xbone's controller.

 

[RedEther]

Every Xbox related thread on GAF other than this one makes my brain hurt.

So true

 

[Fahrenheit]

You think? I get a much better grip on my DS4 then Xbone gamepad

 

[netBuff]

So will trolling get any worse or better after the launch, will the likes of Netbuff be out of a job

I don't consider highlighting issue with Xbone (and yes, there are many) to be "trolling". If you want an Xbox hugbox, GAF is certainly the wrong place for it.

It was in Microsoft's power to produce a better console experience, it's not my problem they failed at it.

Also quoting this for the new page,because why not?

Worthless mainstream reviews ignoring most legitimate issues highlighted on the more technical sites: Seems pretty desperate to cling to these works.

Figuring out whether MS will fix a problem (most of them can't be fixed anyways, lack of encoding hardware or GPU performance, controller ergonomics for example) is not our job.

Come on.

 

[Guerrilla]

What does a receiver have to support to work with xbox one? I mean, there got to be some standard that lets xbox know which channel is which.

Come on.

is it already gone? i had the option to pre order and i kept clicking but kept getting the error page. now the option is gone

 

[EagleEyes]

I look at it like this, both these new systems are evolving platforms now and its to be expected if certain things aren't ready for launch. Both the PS4 and X1 are missing features at launch but the Xbox One has so many more things it is trying to do so it definitely looks like its missing its target more at launch. In reality it will still launch with more options than the PS4 and it should for the price difference. As long as the hardware itself is solid, xbox live is working properly and the games that I buy are solid I know, as a rational adult, the other things will come and more than likely be great additions. I didn't complain last week when I bought my PS4 that it didn't have a suspend/resume option or its missing basic simple things that i'm used to on my 360. I know these platforms will continue to evolve and the competition between the 2 can only benefit us, the consumer. Its just sad though seeing so many people picking every little thing apart so it makes their platform of choice look better but in reality look completely clueless when they totally forget, by choice, something their console is missing or doesn't even have even though the other console does. Crazy times at launch I guess

 

[netBuff]

What does a receiver have to support to work with xbox one? I mean, there got to be some standard that lets xbox know which channel is which.

There is no universal standard for this type of operation that is implemented universally: They'll just blast out channel numbers according to the provider and cable box you've selected while setting up. That's why this stuff is so prone to error and, ultimately, not all that useful.

There's no way to know at this point in time whether your setup will be supported.

I haven't used a DS4 but i meant in comparison to the DS3 where the nubs and loose sticks were a disaster for accuracy, IMO.

Nancy Tellem gave an interview recently about her plans for TV. Link is below.

http://www.thewrap.com/nancy-tellem-talks-microsoft-studios-game-throne-plans/

She hints she has a sizeable budget, one that's big enough to create a series on par with GOT.

[netBuff]

Do you plan on buying the system ?

Of course not. There's no reason to, the media features don't seem to be unique (much better served with PS4 or Roku; HDMI in degrades picture and sound quality) and the lack of hardware power and refinement means I'd have to buy a system for very few exclusives.

"It was in Sony's power to produce a better console experience, it's not my problem they failed at it."

Except Sony did produce a better console experience - at a cheaper price.

Was able to get my Xbox One pre-order in from Amazon this morning. However, it says release date is the 25th for me. Strange enough, I was able to select one-day shipping too.
