Who the hell designed this awful OS and why weren't they fired?

Also the X1X enhanced games are freaking MASSIVE. Halo 5 and GoW 4 are both 100 GB.

Got a free month of Game Pass. Pretty awesome service for the price. Will probably subscribe. Basically it's PSNow but without the streaming lag (but with huge downloads, sigh)

And why the HELL does BF1 only run at like 900p on the One X? It was just a year old when this damn thing came out, and is still getting expansions.

Also I expected to be impressed by how small it is, but really the actual miracle is how quiet the damn thing is. How is that even possible? Even under heavy load it's just barely audible.

If you think the OS is bad now, you'd lose your mind if you saw all the other versions that came before this one lol

I actually really like the Xbox One OS now. Once you get your pins set up and have more experience with where to find stuff in the OS I find it is a lot easier to use than on the PS4.

wait till you see what Halo 5 & Gears 4 look like on the One X, it will blow your mind

Idk about GOW, but Halo 5 has always been about 100GB. They don't compress games anymore this gen lol

PS4 games rarely go higher than 50 GB at the most. Most are like 20 to 30. Were X1 games always this big?

Also yeah, the controller is definitely a huge step up from the DS4. Got a play and charge kit because WTF @ needing AA batteries in 2018

I can't seem to find a lot of answers about it, but does X1 improve frame rates or other things in unoptimized games? Kinda like PS4 Pro Boost mode.

I honestly think it's just those two and I can't tell you why that is. Halo 5 disc install is 'only' 60GB but there's a 30GB update you have to install anyway.

Most of the digital games will probably be around the 50GB though. Andromeda, For Honor, and Borderlands TPS were for me at least.

I don't have too much experience with that though since I've only had my Xbone for a couple months. Don't have a big library yet.

And yes. The OS is trash. The one before wasn't great either but it was better than the current one.

I was surprised to find out that nearly all of my X360 digital library was available to download. I sold my 360 in 2013. Gonna fire up Rez, hell yes.

Also Lumines, Symphony of the Night, and Ikaruga

Why did you ignore advice and not get rechargeable AAs?

$15 for 4 AAs and a charging station, which is cheaper than the kit.

Swap them out instead of turning your controller into a wired controller for an hour.

Can use them for anything else that takes AAs instead of only an Xbox One controller.

It's a win-win-win.

a lot of the big games will have major improvements, and other games will have more stable frame rates or a small performance improvement

I just realized that all the games that aren't X1X Enhanced and are lower res on X1 than the PS4 version still remain that way.

That's kind of sad.

Most powerful console - pity about that 720p CoD Ghosts

It is pretty stupid how devs can't be bothered to just allow a higher resolution/other upgrades for the time being until they decide they want to make an enhancement or not instead of going all or nothing. How hard is it to just flip a couple switches to make SOME improvements even though they aren't maximizing the full potential? It's better than nothing.

Apparently all that did was unlock the framerate with an average of like 45 fps.

I guess but on X1X it's a constant 30. Depends on what you want -- that or choppy 45.

Ok I played a bit of the X1X version of Gears of War 4 and that was straight up next-gen graphics. If all games going forward actually take advantage of the hardware, I'll be more than satisfied.

Meh, I like having all the consoles and a PC. And I do think that the Xbox One x is a fairly good value right now with how inflated GPU prices are.
