Microsoft Xbox One After 2-Years | Review

The “Xbox One” is Microsoft’s third video game console since the company entered the scene with the original Xbox. The device kicked off its life with a bad rap due to Microsoft’s ideas of an always online system, and video games being sub-1080p. Fast forward[...]

It's a console even with apologizing, begging, and becoming saint and getting better every month. No one, and i mean no one will ever forget the disastrous reveal of Xbox ONE in 2013

That's my thoughts it's a great console with lots of potential, but convection and first impressions do matter.

[DrumBeat]

Convection?

I have a lovely GE convection oven in my home. Great for cooking tender, moist poultry.

[christocolus]

Lmao. XD.

[AizenSosuke]

Conviction sorry but lol man funny XD

[pinkcrocodile75]

Mmmmm, Chicken. LOL

@AizenSosuke People who cared to remember probably won't forget, you're right!. As to whether they care though?... Probably not!

[Kiwi66]

It seems like the only ones who never forget are the numerous fanboys who use it as something to bash ms about and they remind people about it every chance they get as they seem to always live in the past and can't see how much better the console has become

[LexHazard79]

You don't even own a Xbox One, so how would you know of it's potential?

And you dont speak for me. The Xbox One 2013 reveal doesn't even cross my mind. The only time it does is when articles and fanboys like you bring it up. I don't spend my time dwelling on the past.

[AizenSosuke]

@BakPain

I do own a Xbox ONE sir , but I am very realistic in viewpoint and overall reality of the situation, I enojy my MKX with Killer Instinct and finally with Naruto Storm 4 for my One.

Proof 1) http://n4g.com/news/1792908...

I already state my realism and also I don't lie or hate unless their a reason for it!

[daBUSHwhaka]

No regrets whatsoever.Love it

[DrumBeat]

Great console with a great, snappy UI. Packed with features. Lacking (imo) in the exclusives department, which is why I'm praying that Xbox One's new IPs really deliver.

It keeps getting better and better as a console. Now, it just needs the games.

[Rookie_Monster]

Best console I have owned this gen. Occupied roughly 70-75% of my playtime out of my 3 current gen consoles. The games speak for itself.

Good for you. Mine is collecting dust. Haven't touched it since halo 5 released and disappointed me. The Xbox used to hold superior multiplats but it's doesn't anymore so it has no business being my main console. Actually I just got notice my live expired and really don't care. I had live for 11 goddamn years and now...I just don't care. There isn't anything on the Xbox I can't get somewhere else. Maybe halo 5 but meh. They stopped being good after reach. My favourite series down the drain.

I'm getting tomb raider for PC next week so don't even bother mentioning that. Was going to get the gears remaster then found out it was $60 after tax so F that.

[TheColbertinator]

Doing ok so far. No defects like last gen.

[ninsigma]

It has improved a hell of a lot from the start. When announced I had no interest in it but after a year on the market I changed my mind because it had been improved. What I want to see from it now is a much better store layout and more big new IPs. Quantum break looks great this year but there needs to be more.

[ShadowKnight]

I agree. Its a great console and most of the time I use it to play Halo 5 multiplayer. Sucks that Scalebound and Recore got pushed back though.

[ninsigma]

See, I play halo for the campaign mostly and hated 5s campaign so that's a big game that I won't be getting in the future. I don't like forza so out of their big reliable games gears is the only one left. I'd love another sunset overdrive. Qb looks to be great and scalebound should be good too. Haven't seen anything of recore apart from a cg trailer so it's not on my radar right now. All there is on xbox for me this year is gears, qb, below and inside which isn't a lot. Hopefully they'll announce a lot more stuff at e3.

[ShadowKnight]

Yup you're right. I'm looking forward to Gears 4 myself. Hopefully they announce more exclusives at E3 :)

[pinkcrocodile75]

Bought Xbox One on Day One, bought a PS4 last year. Both have pro's and con's.

As for 2016 games;

For me this year on Xbox One, there is Quantum Break, Halo Wars 2, Gears 4, Cuphead, Below, Sea of Theives, Gigantic, Fable Legends (Hopefully), maybe Recore (if it's not pushed back till 2017)

On PS4 it's Uncharted 4 and Street Fighter 5. I don't like the look of No Man's Sky and the Jap games. But then there is Ratchet and Clank and Robot Dinosaurs with overly dressed futuristic bow huntress. Thats about it for me

[ninsigma]

I'm sure they will so I'm looking forward to it :D

@pink
I'll be getting below and inside as well as qb and gears. They all look like great games. The others don't interest me. Unless recore does a sunset overdrive and is shown at e3 and released in the holidays, I can see it getting pushed 2017. I've no interest in no mans sky either. There are tonnes of awesome stuff on ps4 that aren't "jap" games for me. Ratchat and clank, tlg, detroit, uc4, horizon zero dawn. Ff15 looks amazing though so that's a must have. Hoping wildlands releases this year too but that's a very slim chance I'd say.

[boodi]

I'm happy with it

[PaulFiend]

Don't want to sound harsh, but...
I've bought an EU white model (came bundled with that Insomniac game, don't remember how it's called, Sunsetsomething), have not been using it that much being a PC and PS4 owner (I have access to my friend's Wii U also). The controller is good, yeah. Works fine. The console itself looks OK. Halo 5 was disappointing, despite we've beaten it at the Legendary difficulty in co-op, oh well.
Waiting for GeoW 4 now. Cant say I'm exited about any other upcoming/existing XBONE exclusive, tbh.
I liked X360 much, but this one - not yet.

[ninsigma]

You should try out sunset overdrive. It's a really fun game imo. I was disappointed in halo as well. Check out qb too. That looks good!

[Allsystemgamer]

Sunset overdrive is the only reason I still have my X1. I love that game. Very underrated.

[ninsigma]

Yeah big time underrated. It's such a fun game.

[bullproodhead]

id pass on sunset... TR on the other hand is tremendous. it's exclusive for now as well.

[AmUnRa]

O come on Rookie, you do not have a PS4. You know it and whe know it. When gamers in an other treat ask you to prove that you have a PS4 you where damagecontrolling that you had one, but you did not prove it. you are a xbonefanboy and you do not own a PS4.

[Gazondaily]

Great contribution to the discussion.

Do you have a Xbox One? If so what do you think about it?

[Allsystemgamer]

I have an x1. I have all the consoles. My ps4 gets the most love. Halo was the main reason I bought one and I hated halo 5s campaign. 343 really needs new writers and to push Locke to the side lines. The multiplayer was great but that only lasted so long playing on maps that you could barely distinguish from one another.

The multiplats I either get on ps4 or PC depending on friends. I know only 3 people with x1s and they barely use it aswell. I convinced them to get it for MCC and we still have trouble connecting to eachother. In fact we don't bother. Our live subs ran out. No need to go back.

Tomb raider I'll get next week on PC. The gears remaster is way too expensive. So was TLOUR but I got that for $20. Already beat horizon 2. Everything else is on PC.

There's simply no reason for me to even have my x1 right now. I still have my 360 so BC isn't even a thing for me. The Xbox one doesn't really have much exclusivity to offer and the multiplats fall short of its competitor.

Funny thing is last gen I was 360 all the way...funny how things changed.

Now my WII U on the other hand hasn't been turned on in about 6 months....really should get xenoblade....

[pinkcrocodile75]

Excellent point Septic!

AmUnRa?... Did you buy the Egyptian Bundle where you get free the ten plagues of Egypt. I really hope you aren't the first born in your family? LOL.

[Paytaa]

He's actually posted pictures countless times of his PS4 on here. So what if he likes Xbox a lot more? Things like that literally don't matter.

[Allsystemgamer]

Anyone can take a picture and use MS paint to scribble "rookie" on it. Not saying that's what he does but it's not "proof".

[Gazondaily]

You want a sample of his DNA or something? What more do you want?

[Whitey2k]

I've always been and had a playstation since of 1995 and loved it ever since! Had and brought the xbox when it first released great console and my problem was I just couldn't get on with the controller what so ever and never had an xbox since but yea as a playstation owner there no doubt that the xbox if not the consoles itself are great. Surely every1 has a bad design of console aka ps3 and xbone but they soon learn there mistakes
