God I hope it does speed up, slow as hell atm.

lord_of_balrogs5416d ago

Lol, I just thought this was my connection and not Live. Good to know.

ChrisGTR15416d ago

i keep my friends list spam free. as in only 30 friends tops. usually just people i know, mine doesnt lag. im pretty shure you guys have over 50 hell maybe even at 100

dragunrising5416d ago (Edited 5416d ago )

The delays are minor but bothersome. In addition to the sporadic delays, sometimes my dashboard freezes in access of 10 seconds. I have a Jasper so I’m less worried about RROD than E74. I only have the long delay when I mess with the original blades interface. It seems to be more of a problem when I send and check received messages.

Anyone have this issue?

I hope the update fixes the problem. Otherwise I have zero problems. My 360 NEVER runs more than warm (usually cool) and is "as" silent as my PS3; definitely a huge contrast from my first 360.

Blaze9295415d ago

I always just thought it was becuase of my new 120GB HDD i just bought for it. Yeah they seriously need to speed it up. glad that'll happen

Bnet3435415d ago

I seen peoples' Guide lag videios but mines doesn't lag as bad as theirs. It lags for like 1-2 seconds, not really bothersome for me.

AAACE55415d ago

Yeah I get lag as well, I just thought it was from my new 120 HDD. Didn't have as much of a problem with my 20 HDD.

Boody-Bandit5415d ago

I checked after every update to see if MS would speed the profile guide up and it never happens. It's a pain in the a55 when you receive a message while in game because you know how long it will take to address it regardless of the request.

This is like my biggest and possibly only remaining gripe I have with the 360 so I am pumped for this update to get here ASAP.

vhero5415d ago

Gonna be hard its down to the fact other things e.g. your game slows it down as its too graphical heavy.

maxcer5415d ago

@1.2

i don't think the amount of people in your friends list matters that much as i have around 90 atm. if you watch some of the you-tube videos of the laggy guide its crazy how long it takes.

i think it might have to do with loading all of the friends you have online at that particular moment. I have noticed it getting slower but 5 seconds max, and it usually only happens with more than 25 friends signed in.

navyguy215415d ago

with it being somewhat slow (to load), but i get irritated with the frequent freezin up! It has got to the point where i have to make slow, deliberate scrolling through it to avoid it. Come on MS!!

5415d ago
locos855415d ago

I never thought for it to be slow. but if they are going to speed it up then better for all of us. The thing I do find slow is the game marketplace, it takes some time for the option to download a game or demo.

Martini5415d ago

Yeah it can be annoying, sometime it will freeze up for up to 20 seconds. It started after the new dashboard update last fall, it never did that before with the old dash.

FragMnTagM5415d ago

dude I have the same problem. I never have a problem with the mini dash, but the game demo screen on the other hand can take up to a minute give you the option to download sometimes.

Other than that, I have no problems with the NXE.

iANONYMOUS5415d ago

This might only occur to some people,
but mine seems to be working fine..
Although, the friends section is a bit of prob,
If I scroll too fast from 1-43, Bam! 30-43 took some time to load.
But, faster is better no?

edgeofblade5409d ago

Actually, I have seen the guide running better since the downtime. It seems to be pulling down gamerpics better than before.

Dimly5416d ago

Thank the maker! Does this mean Netflix streaming quality will increase? It's rubbish sometimes!

phosphor1125416d ago

The Guide is the menu that comes up, not the internet connection. Slow internet is because you have slow internet, and ugly Netflix is because Netflix can't stream high fidelity HD videos. It will stream HD (720p) but the data rates are low, thats why they look bad. Until MS gets their "instant" service, you won't have those kind of pictures yet.

really duh5415d ago (Edited 5415d ago )

Speed does affect quality it was foolish of you to assume he was talking about resolution, 720p, Blu-ray ;) etc. The quality of the movie can be effected many ways from slow loading, screwed up rewind and FF function to jitter and artifacts.

For all you know he was saying he hopes for fixes across the board or fixes for the services he likes since they're working on this. Do you even own the 360? connection speeds can effect the response of the guide when the info is slow to be relayed/retrieved.

Traffic is major. I'v noticed the growth of XBL users lately based on the way it runs. At 2:00 am PST XBL works the way it did in 2007.

Arnon5415d ago (Edited 5415d ago )

When he says the dashboard, it means the dashboard plus everything running in it. No no, obviously he means just scrolling through the main menu. lol.

KingKionic 5416d ago

ah...that 5 second delay can kill a man when he`s trying to right a hateful message to the guy who killed him...wait...

That was me.

Myst5416d ago

lol, that made me laugh.

ShabzS5415d ago

lol... been there done that ..... often

stevedawonder5416d ago

I know, its so...bad right now.

-MD-5415d ago

It's not THAT bad.. but it definitely has room for improvement.

JQ5416d ago

This has always been an issue - I would be thrilled to see some improvement.

chrisjc5415d ago

Haha I think it's hilarious that you got 3 disagrees on your comment. "No, us PS3-bots do not want the 360 to get a firmware update to increase functionality".

LOL

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer3h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde1h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx1h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro8h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B6h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21836h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh6h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia5h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins6h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal5h ago

The first game was the best imo.
