Xbone - Am I doing it wrong?

I recently caved into peer pressure and traded in my PS4 for an Xbox One; all my close friends are on Xbox (stupid brand loyalty), and I didn't currently have the finances to shell out $400 for a brand new console and games/accessories. I had originally played on an Xbox 360 but I decided to switch platforms upon moving to the new generation. I don't give a care about graphics or resolution, but I do care about ease of use and a system that caters to me as a gamer.

 

After only a few days with this new console I am already starting to get annoyed with all these hoops I have to jump through just to play a game with my friends. Maybe I am going about this the wrong way, which wouldn't surprise me as I am still trying to figure out how to navigate the menus, but I find it incredibly annoying that:

 

 

  • I have to manually go into the menu and turn my Xbox One to 'offline' mode in order to force it to recognize that it should install my new game from the disc I just inserted, rather than trying to download the entire title off of the internet.

 

 

  • I have to sit and wait for massive patches; some well over 5 GB; to install before the multiplayer features of the game I am wanting to play with my friends become available.

 

 

  • I have to download an update ….. for my controller? The first time I get on Xbox Live with my friends I couldn't figure out why we were unable to talk to each other. Come to find out that my controller needs a software update, which doesn't make sense because as far as I can see there is nothing super special about my Xbox controller compared to my PS4 one.

 

 

  • The Xbox One controller that comes with the console ISN'T rechargeable by default like the PS4 controller. I had to buy a re-chargable kit separately.

 

 

  • After installing the two Assassins Creed games that came with the console…. as digital copies; I didn't have any real interest in playing these games, but since I can't trade them in for store credit I figured I might as well get them installed; a process that took several days to complete (installing the game and downloading updates). After I finished with that endeavor I noticed that with just those two games I have used up about 25% of my console's total hard drive space. So I am only limited to having only 8 tittles installed on my console at a time?

 

 

 

Needless to say I have been sorely disappointed with the product thus far; the only reason why I continue to use it is because of my close friends. Has anyone else been experiencing similar issues with their Xbox One's? Am I doing something wrong here?

Your crime is too heavy because of this. You should become a monk as punishment.

I haven't experienced all of the issues above and I have both consoles. I really love the xbone and I think I have come to enjoy it more than my ps4, even though that I have always been a playstation player.

 

The controller part was a disappointment to me as well, that it wasn't rechargeable by default, so yes.

 

The menu's were easy enough for me, so no problems there.

 

And for the installations, yes they are huge and takes a very long time but the good thing is that you can usually start playing after a few minutes after the installation being started in the background, so no real big deal there either, you don't have to wait for it to finish before you can start playing.

 

I can't recall waiting for any massive patches or anything I had to wait for, it usually only takes very shortly.

 

And no download update for my controller so.... no.

 

Hope that helped.

Yes I am but a poor console peasant  ^_^

 

 

 

I will say that from what I have seen so far (which granted isn't very much) the Xbox One seems to be the inferior system when it comes to being a video game console. Microsoft in trying to appeal to everyone and everything left their gamer aspects of their next generation console diluted. 

 

 

That being said, I have to admit that I have had more 'fun' with the Xbox One compared to the PS4 solely because I have good friends to enjoy my favorite hobby and pastime with.

I have been consistently disappointed with how XBone handled just about everything, when compared to Xbox 360.

 

I found the menu system, XBL, and installation are all easier, more intuitive, and more functional on 360. They have removed features that 360 had that were very convenient.

 

The fact that the One's console settings are a sub-menu of a sub-menu in "Games and Apps" has to be one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever seen in my life.

 

The choice to use Windows 8's utterly loathsome UI is baffling, to me.

 

So... all in all, I wish I had bought a PS4, instead.

I hear you on all the interface problems, the 360 was soooooo much easier to navigate.

 

 

I still say that the PS4 is the better console, as far as ease of use and being overall gamer friendly, but (in my case at least) I am finding more use out of my Xbone. With no one to play with, my PS4 collected dust. I guess I am okay with dealing with frustrations/limitations of the Xbox while having fun with friends, vs having a smooth operational experience on the PS4 but being bored by myself.

I'm assuming that is its system storage? If that is the case I don't know if the PS4 is any better in that regard. The PS4's data storage is unnecessarily complicated to navigate as well. The Xbox 360 was the best in that area. 

 

Are they still spamming the dashboard with the Xbox One like they did with the 360?

Yeah I can't stand the Kinect, I bought the version without that particular headache.

 

 

It is funny that once Microsoft started offering Kinect-less Xbox Ones that their sales started going up.

I seriously don't see any problem with the xbox one. I didn't like the 360 but the xbox one is so much improved, it's a joy to play on plus the kinect is amazing on this one as well whereas it was unbearable on the 360.

 

I can hardly play DA:I without the voice commands through the kincet now, it's so improved it's amazing, I can just mumble the words and it picks them up right away and english isn't even my first language.

I've had my fare share of issues with my Xbox One. I bought it in Mach last year along with a copy of Forza 5 and Ryse. Forza 5 took almost a whole entire weekend to install on to my hard drive from the disc, the good news I was able to complete the first set of events while the game was installing but it would not let me do anything else until the whole entire game had finished installing. Ryse took less time but I could not play it until it was fully installed.

A fairly recent problem involves my Xbox One not doing what I want it to. Navigating Halo MCC's menus have provided me with some mixed results especially when watching Halo: Nightfall. I also recently bought the digital version of Destiny for the Xbox One but I can't actually boot up the game without doing a hard reset of my console and then turning it back on ( without the hard reset, If I try to play Destiny it just takes me to the main logo screen but there is no prompt to press 'A' to start ).
