Xbox One Chat - May Xbox Update Available & Introducing the Xbox Adaptive Controller (p289)

Disappointed theres no Horizon 2 with all the DLC. In fact I can't even see that version up there anymore, it must have been a timed bundle when FH3 came out

I might get The Division Gold Edition, looks like it comes with all the DLC. Does anyone here play it? I think everyone here got it for PS4 didn't they

Sunset Overdrive is still £13 in the sale ffs what kind of exchange rate is that

Tempted by the Jackbox Party Pack 3 though. The first two are brilliant party games

£29 for both ultimate alliances

Ive got it, and Glowy, fin and Degoose on X1

Dead Rising bundle for me.

Apart from Bioshock collection which I'll get when it drops below £20 I think Ive now bought everything I want. Just have to start playing them all now.

Went for Dead Rising 4 and The Witness

Cool, I downloaded it overnight and hopefully I can spend a few hours on it tonight to catch up. I'll probably join you online some time

I can't believe The Division was one of the two games that sold me on the PS4 at launch and I ended up getting it on Xbox

Yeah get into it then join us, we'll, me. Survival is aces.

I have a few friends with it now that have just started it so I'll boost myself with those for a bit

At level 30 the game really opens up.

Seems to be a sort of action RPG/tower defence hybrid. Could be interesting.

Guess what... Father Christmas bought me an Xbox One! Technically I helped him out in the Black Friday sales and have been sitting on it since. I have about 50GB of Halo: The Master Chief Collection downloaded and waiting for it to finish the rest. I have played the opening level.

Initial observations: The controller is the best current-gen controller for comfort without a doubt! I mean DS4 is a league better than the DS3 but, for me, this feels better. No power brick - much better! When launching there was a system software update that took ages and then crashed. When it started working the first thing that happened was it autoplaying a video! The OS/menus I always thought the XMB on PS3/PS4 was over simplistic, in comparison the OS on XBO looks more advanced with more detail - but they are slower. Going back and forth you have the green swirl. Also, at first use I find them unintuitive I seem to be flicking in and out of menus without knowing what I'm doing. I tried to record some footage of Halo and it miniaturised the screen then later I was somehow playing the game and watching the footage i captured! Nothing in the box that explains how to use the OS, God knows what this is like for a newbie. 360 felt easier to use but nice to see & hear the Xbox achievements blip again. The 360 backwards compatibility I expected to be running in its own app, but 360 games are listed like regular games which I think is much better. I loved seeing (some of) my old games available for download. Does GRcade do 360 game lending, insert the game once and you get the download for free right? I would love to play Oblivion on this but am too cheap to pay the CEX price.

Anyway, when the Halo installation is done I hope to install the Forza Horizon 3 patch and give that a go. Is there all in one manual or guide online that explains everything on how to use the OS and Game DVR and everything? I'm hoping to get the key XBO exclusives like Quantum Break and Ori & the Blind Forest.

Nope, you still need to have the disc in the tray, even though it's installed to the hard drive.

The OS takes a bit of getting used to but is mostly fairly intuitive, I recommend just having a play around with it rather than looking at guides. Top tip from me - press right trigger to jump between the home screen and your pins below.

Do I have you on my friends list already? If not, what's your tag?

Thanks man. I didn't know that you had to have the disc. CEX is cheaper than Live store but I'm moving away from discs, although I have Witcher II. I will play definitely play around some more with the menus. If you're More Heat Than Light I think we are already friends. And if anybody else wants to add me my gamertag is currently VenomUK i.

Pins are your friend:


I'd recommend giving Sunset Overdrive a look, it might even be in the sale at the moment too.

Added Venom as a friend via smartglass while in Tesco! What a time to be alive!

Being in the supermarket makes me wish I was dead, but I know what you mean.
