The Xbox One Thread

[Dan]

Played my first online game on Madden earlier, I'm not great at the game but it was fun and I ended up winning the game. This was my final TD:

So I finally got the Xbox One, with Forza 5 and Titanfall.

It's taking an absolute age to install Forza, but I'm guessing that's because it downloads the update first and my internet is generally shit?

[Dan]

Yeah the update for Forza is fucking massive. I'm pretty sure it's the biggest update on the system so far.

We'll have to rock some Titanfall this week!

[Baddar]

What's Forza 5 like? 3 and 4 are probably my favourite racing games on any system.

[Cheeky Hughes]

I've really enjoyed what I've played of 5 so far. And Forza 4 was my previous favourite in the racing genre.

I'd be down for some Titanfall this week. Played through the Militia campaign already and loved it.

[Your Mom]

Is Titanfall all deathmatches and stuff like that? Or is it like Destiny where you are all in the same world?

[apsham]

Not sure what Destiny is like - but there are a few modes. They all equate to "shoot each other and maybe do something" though. Not that this is a bad thing.

[Cheeky Hughes]

I do like the added incentive at the end of the battle to get to your evac point though. Means there's something to play for right up to the end.

It's multi FPS only with a few different game modes. Think Call of Duty.

[apsham]

I'm a sucker who is probably going to buy Ground Zeroes today.

I'll report in.

[King Ellis]

Report in in a few hours when you've completed it, you mean?

But, yeah, the consensus seems to be 'worth playing, not necessarily worth buying'.

Ack. I'm really not fussed about the length anymore. It's a damn beautiful game, the gameplay is refined to perfection and it just has such an amazing feel to it. If you can afford it, I suggest picking it up. I'm barely into it so far and I'm already so amazing pumped up for The Phantom Pain.

I just ordered it off of Amazon. It was a couple dollars cheaper than I thought....plus, I don't want to be missing any story when Phantom Pain comes out.

[apsham]

I betrayed myself and my mistake pretty much made it to the second objective super fast, but I'm realizing there are collectables and I've taken the easy way with everything that I've tried so far.. so I'm for sure going to be giving this multiple playthroughs.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Guys! I will get my Xbox One in September. The release date has finally been set!!!! Hooray!

[King Ellis]

Good old slow Larz.

So after finishing all of the operations (save for the platform exclusive one that I need to unlock) I am essentially 22 percent finished - this is after doing them all once with a C or B ranking. Not bad - the main operation was shorter than I expected, but then again I didn't find a single one of the collectibles and just kind of blazed through it all (by mistake, I just so happened to go the right way EVERY time).

Ultimately, it has me super hyped up for The Phantom Pain and although I could technically return it since I have the Satisfaction Guarantee at EB Games.. I'm still alright with my purchase, think I'll hold onto it.

In case anyone has been wondering or thinking about it, the official Xbox One Microsoft Stereo Headset is pretty awesome.
