Well after getting all that poo poo sorted out earlier, and finally getting the drat game to reinstall, I come home and the UI has the worst lag I've ever seen, and my "ready to install" games refuse to load in at all, and now just trying to start Forza Horizon 4 causes the thing to hang up and I keep getting a "for some reason Forza Horizon 4 took too long to load." I'm sorry but this 500 dollar piece of hardware is a complete piece of poo poo and I feel pretty fleeced to be honest. Thank goodness I did the Xbox one s trade in and RDR2 deal and didn't actually pay 500 dollars for this garbage. Good riddance.

I got an X two weeks ago to replace my aging gigantic OG 2013 model and outside the pseudo-4k games the thing is a piece of poo poo, yes. Anything outside playing games is a thing of nightmares if you have to deal with the UI, especially if you're into taking screenshots or recording videos.

Yeah I mean I like the games, I like that a huge portion of my digital 360 library is playable on it (suck it PS4), and I love me some Forza. But drat man if I have to turn it on and wait patiently for the ClOuD to do its thing before I can do my thing, uh. That's a problem.

I've never had quite the issues you're having but the UI is in general absolute dogshit and something they need to address for whatever the hell next system they're planning on releasing is.

I really just hope they ditch the always connected cloud poo poo because it's always really apparent when something is loving up and causing issues with doing basic poo poo like "viewing the games you own" and "launching one of those games." Of course everything about current tech trends tells me they are just going to lean into that even harder next gen, but hopefully the first party/Xbox exclusive stuff continues to be on PC as well so I can just ignore whatever dumb poo poo they follow up the Xbone with. Now that I've said that, they're going to put out a mind blowing console experience that puts the PS2 to shame. You're welcome in advance, folks.

So I pulled the trigger on an Xbox one s just to play a few bigger games that I’ve missed over the last few years, starting with RDR2. I owned an xbone for a few months back in like 2015 and I have to say....I didn’t like the interface back then, but holy poo poo was it miles better than it is now. The whole interface feels like one big pop up ad and I have to search for the small icons that actually enable me to play games. Anyways, I ran into a problem yesterday, is there a way to make Blu-ray’s and dvds auto play when you insert them? I don’t really want my wife navigating this home screen to find the Blu-ray app.

Really makes me appreciate the simplicity of the Switch interface. So after I’m done with RDR2, what are some classics to pick up cheaply? I’m thinking The Witcher 3....

No problem, I picked up an Xbox a couple months ago and it took me awhile to find everything as well. And yeah, the interface is straight garbage. I heard it's so bogged down by all the ads that require talking to the internet. I would like to think Microsoft fixes it in their next Xbox. Definitely pick up The Witcher 3. I would highly recommend getting the complete edition (currently $20 if you have a Gold subscription), as the DLC is some of the best this industry has seen and is easily worth the extra money.

The idea is you pin stuff you use so you can ignore the clutter that is the rest of the UI. Press the 'hamburger' button on your controller while on a game or app's tile and it gives you the option to pin to Home.

Just Cause 3 runs so badly on a standard Xbone that they shouldn't be selling it. Got denied a refund after playing for half an hour or so and honestly feeling like that's bullshit.

If it makes you feel any better, I bought it for PC before it was cheap and my save file just gets deleted and I have to start over after a blue screen. It has happened twice after about ten hours and there's no cloud save support. I even manually backed up the saves but it won't recognize my old one and just starts a new game. I've seen two blue screens since installing Windows 10 and they came from JC3 a year apart.

I like Star Wars. Is the $7.50 they’re currently charging for Battlefront II even worth it? I’ve heard horror stories but I don’t know whether to think it’s about people lashing out at EA for being lovely or legitimate complaints about the game. For the record, I don’t like online/multiplayer games. So if there’s nothing to the single player, it would be a waste of the $7.50 if anything.

For 7.50 the fan servicey single player is probably worth it for a Star Wars fan. It's a decent campaign, even if the gameplay still feels like floaty garbage.

If you pay 6 a month for EA access you can download it for 'free' and play the singleplayer and be done with it. Then download a few other games too like unraveled, burnout paradise remastered or battlefield 1 and whatever else they have on there. For 7 bux the SP is fun and entertaining in regards to lore/starwars story. It is basically a cheap starwars movie you get to play, with likeable characters.

That the sequel cant even rise to that level and came out around the same time as Doom 4 which just fully embarassed it is so so bad
