It's so slow, it took 5 hours to install Fifa 14 last night...... why? On Steam I can download Max Payne 3 which is a 30GB game in 30 mins and be playing straight away. Yet on the Xbox One you might as well not bother trying to play until the next day because by the time it has downloaded you're not in the mood. Not only that but switching between all the different apps is so slow... why? Even Android that is using an ARM processor is faster switching between stuff. Using Kinect is cumbersome, I often have to repeat myself or just give up and use the controller. You cannot use Kinect with the Blu Ray app, you cannot even use your hand... you're on the main menu and want to play but you have to grab the controller..... great for the family! If you do have a bunch of people in the room Kinect freaks out, it wont focus on one person, it'll think you're all talking to it or waving your hands to control it. I ended up unplugging the shit thing altogether, it's a waste of money, they should have made it optional and reduced the price, Kinect sold well on the 360, so I don't get why it's packed in.
They advertised it as this big media hub but external storage doesn't work, I cannot get my content off or on the Xbox One, so it's useless! On top of that, there are no apps to watch media on other than 4oD and Youtube, which I dunno why you'd wanna do that as the Youtube app doesn't even list your subscriptions. Like how did they launch with far less than the previous consoles? All this should have been sorted, instead we're waiting until who knows when for it to catch up. None of this was advertised as not there, they made it out to be this amazing media hub, it isn't. The TV stuff is for the US only I'm guessing as there is no TV guide here, only who cares because Kinect is so bad it would just make it worse.
The worst thing that is fucking me off the most though is Xbox Gold, I do not play consoles enough to warrant a subscription and everything they make you subscribe for is a con! Why am I subbing to play games I've already paid for online? What am I getting? I play games on PC without a sub and it is a much better experience than on console, heck even the PS3 was just fine. I'm finding everything I want to do on the console even if it requires no net connection, it frigging asks me to sign up to gold. Why are all the apps gold only? I can use them all on my phone or ANY OTHER DEVICE FOR FREE!
I wanted to record a video of me playing Forza 5 to get my friend to buy it so we can play it online. So I recorded a video, I went into editing and there is no place where you can put 2 clips together, you can have 1, 3 or 5 and it cannot go over 5 mins long....... WHY? No fucking race is 5 mins, they're all around 7 mins at the min. I have two 3.50 min clips and I couldn't put them together for two reasons and I cannot have just one big clip because there is a 5 min restriction. What is really annoying is it's such an effort to start recording again, like why can't I just set it up so it records the whole race and it splits it up automatically? So I thought I'd upload them to my Sky drive which I can use for FREE on my PC and my Windows Phone......... NOT WITH THE XBOX ONE! THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY TO KEEP YOUR CLIPS UNLESS YOU HAVE GOLD! What's more is Skydrive ruins the quality for whatever reason to where it is like watching a 480p video.. like why? What is the point of limiting the file size for Skydrive?
It is a mess of a console and I have no interest in using it any more, going up on ebay.
