Welcome to the next-generation. The Xbox One requires that you install games to your HDD, but apparently it’s an arduous process for most launch buyers of the new console. Social media has been lighting up with reports of slow installs for a number of different games, leaving users with nothing to do on their new toy but watch TV.
These disc-based games seem to be the biggest problems for Xbox One users, with many claiming the installation process won’t even move from 0%. Hopefully, if its a problem on Microsoft’s end, they’ll get it fixed soon so those who jumped in first will actually be able to play games on the new console.
The Nerd Stash: "The Wasteland is unforgiving, and there are a ton of brutal ways to die in the Fallout universe. We listed out the absolutely worst ones."
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
"The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Auroch Digital and indie games developer Positech Games, today announced with great happiness and thrill that their hit-political title "Democracy 4: Console Edition", is coming to consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores on June 5th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The website doesn't provide any sources for it's claims, it just says social media has been flagging up these concerns.
It wouldn't however, surprise me as traditional Xbox 360 owners arent usually used to mandatory installation. I know I despise them.
I thought Xbox One had play as you install feature like the PS4. Oh well, seems like something they can patch later on.
You can play while it installs after a certain %
That's it thats the complain I wake to. I was expecting a failure rate party. Maybe I showed up early.
Yeah, it takes some time. Especially Ryse.
Assassin's Creed took like 5-10 minutes or so.
Dead Rising 3, like 10-15.
Ryse? Like 20-25 and when you launched the game, it took a little longer before starting a new game.
And yes, Xbox One lets you play as it installs in the background, but it has to install about half way before it allows you launch and play.
