Xbox One Console Reviews

I did that with Batman Arkham Knight. I wasn't paying $60 for it. Waited and got it for $19 Best gaming decision i made in 2015 lol.
hell of a bargain - especially if you grab the season pass (its worth it - just for the most wanted expansion stories alone-)

Yo! My dude that buys every game at launch is pissed as fuck! Said he was paying SF5 Survival mode and the game kicked him out because the servers were down. Then he can't earn any in game points/money even just doing story mode without the servers. WTF!
 
At least it not a year :rolleyes: Destiny

The Division's DLC will launch as timed Xbox One exclusive



Ubisoft will launch additional expansions for Tom Clancy's The Division on Xbox One first, according to GameStop. The retailer's promotional video for the upcoming game, above, revealed that Ubisoft will release downloadable content for the shooter as a timed Microsoft exclusive.

Following a period of 30 days, DLC will make its way to the PlayStation 4 and Windows PC versions of the game. Although GameStop doesn't specify which content falls under the timed exclusivity deal, Ubisoft previously announced that The Division would receive a season pass including three expansions and free monthly updates.

Although Ubisoft will release the game on three platforms, the company has paid special attention to Xbox gamers leading up to The Division's release. The game recently wrapped its latest beta, which also launched on Xbox One first. It will also receive a 1 TB Xbox One bundle for $399, as seen in the GameStop video.

The timed exclusivity deal was first revealed during Ubisoft's E3 2014 press conference, although it didn't elaborate on the length of the period.

After a lengthy delay, The Division will arrive on PS4, Windows PC and Xbox One on March 8. A release date for the post-launch DLC has not been announced.

See our video preview of the next Tom Clancy game below.

You can get the gold edition on Amazon for $80 if you have Prime.
 
twitch is the best game "review" site...if a game catches my interest...I go to twitch and watch someone play it for a while...I also check out game clips posted from peeps on my friends list...I no longer rely on one gaming site...I check out IGN gametrailers (RIP) and both metacritic scores (official site reviews and players reviews)...and if there's a green light across the board then I'll fuck w/ the game...and even then it's very rare I pay $60...I'll trade something in or use reward points or just wait for sales or a price dip...usually pay $30 @ the most
 
Updates Rolling Out This Month: See Who’s In A Party, Gamerscore Leaderboard, And More

We have a number of new features coming to Xbox One and Xbox app starting today and Mike Ybarra, Director of Program Management for Xbox, details what you can expect from this system update.



This month’s system update starts rolling out to the Xbox app today and on Xbox One tomorrow; with it, comes a host of social features that will help you stay connected to the Xbox Live community across both console and PC. A few highlights include being able to see who’s in a Party on Xbox One before joining and – on both Xbox One and the Xbox app – we have made it easier to get details on suggested friends.

Here’s what’s rolling out to the Xbox app today and on Xbox One tomorrow!

New experiences and updates launching on Xbox One:

  • See who’s in a Party: On Xbox One, you will now be able to see who’s in a Party before joining. When you click on a friend who is in a Party from the friend tab of the guide, you’ll be able to see who else they’re playing with. Click the ‘Chatmenu which appears immediately below your friend’s gamertag; this will show “See who’s in the Party” and list the gamertags of all the people in the Party.


  • Gamerscore Leaderboard: On Xbox One, from your profile in the guide, click My achievements and the restored Gamerscore Leaderboard will display. Through the Gamerscore Leaderboard, see where you stand relative to your friends by comparing total Gamerscore, as well as biggest gains over a rolling 30-day period. Click on the Gamerscore Leaderboard to view this information for all of your friends.


  • Re-arrange Pins on Home and access them offline: Many of you have told us that you want Pins on your Xbox One Home to be easier to organize. You will now be able to rearrange individual pins. Just press ‘Y’ on a pinned item and, once it blinks, you can move it around. We’ve also made Pins accessible for launching when you are offline.
  • Updating Activity Feed on Xbox One: Your Activity Feed on Xbox One will inform you when there are new items in your feed. Clicking the link will take you to the top of your feed where you’ll see a run-down of the newest posts, so that you always have the freshest content at your fingertips.


  • Hide games from ‘ready-to-install’ list: Fans asked that we re-enable the ability to hide content like betas, trials, games, and apps that they no longer want to install. Now, you’ll be able to start using this feature again.
  • ‘Use a code’ shortcut in the Xbox One Store: Redeem 5×5 codes quicker while on your Xbox One console by tabbing over to the Store and using the new ‘Use a code’ shortcut. To the right of ‘Games store’ and ‘Search game store,’ the ‘Use a code’ link will enable you to enter retail codes directly from the dashboard.
  • Joinable Twitch Broadcasts: Many of you have asked for it to be easier to watch your friend’s game broadcasts. Now, Game Hubs as well as the game tile will allow you to easily launch Twitch.tv broadcasts if friends are broadcasting.
  • Improvements to Suggested Friends: Looking for people who you might know on Xbox or top content creators to follow? Check out the new Friend Suggestions area in Community and the Friends list in the Guide on Xbox One. Friend Suggestions include the gamertag, real name (if shared), gamerpic or Xbox Avatar image, and the reason the suggestion was made to you. Click through from the suggestion to view the member’s full profile and choose to grow your friends list.
  • Program the hotkeys for your Xbox One Chatpad: We’re making it easier for you to access your favorite apps with your Xbox Chatpad. This month’s release includes an interface which allows you to set the X1 and X2 functions on the Chatpad keypad. Just plug your Chatpad into your controller and navigate to Settings. In the Devices & accessories area of Settings, select the controller that the Chatpad is connected to and choose the desired functions for the X1 and X2 keys from the drop down box. The current hotkey defaults are ‘take screenshot’ (X1) and ‘record that’ (X2).
Updates coming to both Xbox One and the Xbox app:

  • Avatar Store: Equip your avatar with the latest avatar items in the newly-integrated ‘Avatar Store’. On the console, the Store is built right into the Xbox Avatars app and on Windows 10 PCs and phones, access the Store through the Xbox Avatars app. Get access to the entire catalog of new and oldie-but-goodie items, including free items. As you’re perusing catalogs, enjoy the ability to preview the items on your avatar real-time before you buy.


  • Xbox News: Xbox News is a one-stop source for all the latest information about new hardware, console updates, game releases, tournaments like the Halo World Championship, breaking entertainment content, and more. This month, on both the Xbox app and Xbox One, you’ll be able to see Xbox News posts in your activity feed, making it easier than ever to stay up-to-date on all things Xbox.
  • Xbox Accessories App: New updates to the Xbox Accessories app on Xbox One and Windows 10 make adjusting your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller easier. As soon as you open the app, you will now see how each unique setting is mapped to your Profile Switch slots in greater detail. There are also collapsible menu options and design updates that let you view all your editing options on one page. Finally, we’ve made improvements to the thumbstick adjustments by allowing you to change the intensity of each sensitivity curve, and also made trigger and vibration settings more visually intuitive.


  • Improvements to Trending: Across Xbox One and the Xbox app, you’ll notice a new access point for Trending items to the right of the Community tab on your console and in the left menu area of the Xbox app. This gets you to a dedicated Trending landing page with the most popular topics across Xbox Live surfaced at the top, followed by an assortment of trending videos, screenshots, achievements, and more that members across the community have created or unlocked. Consider friending or following publishers of content that you would like to see more of.
  • Suggested friends: On both Xbox One and the Xbox app, we’re making it easier to get details on your suggested friends. Starting this month, if you click ‘see all’ or double tap on the shortlist of friend suggestions in any scenario, you will be pointed to a full-screen view of all suggested friends.
Across both Xbox One and the Xbox app, this update brings the injection of Trending topics and friend suggestions into your Activity Feed.

For the Xbox app specifically, this month’s release includes Compact Mode:

  • Compact Mode: With this update, we’ve moved additional functions to Compact Mode which will enable you to quickly switch between your friends’ view, your party, messages, and activity alerts. A quick click allows you to keep an eye on what your friends are up to, while multi-tasking on your Windows PC!


A big thanks to everyone for continuing to provide your suggestions at the Xbox Feedback site. Keep them coming and stay tuned for more great features on Xbox One and the Xbox app throughout the year!

The price's on these games drop $20 two weeks after they release. If your not sure about a game don't pre order wait. Wait until the hype dies down, or rent it.

Find you a partner in crime and game share. $30 for a new game and at 12:01am I'm ready to play my new game and haven't had to leave the crib. You can't beat it. Game sharing also let's you share the xbox live.

I haven't bought a hard copy of a game on the one. All digital and all off game sharing
 
I spent nearly half the day downloading the Division beta. Does it have co-op or is it just the single player campaign?

The Division NEW High End Weapons - Liberator and Pakhan

How do you select your consumables. I wanted to use my incendiary bullets but wasn't able to select them.

Did anyone else have any trouble with the boss with the flame thrower where you have to turn the power back on? I died the first time fighting him trying to shoot a explosive container. The second time I used my pistol and killed him with half of his health gone.

Is there a stealth kill. I know you can use the right stick to melee but there should have been more CQC moves.
 
You select them with the D pad and the right analog stick. You have to double tap it. (right analog stick) And I killed that boss by headshotting him from a distance with incendiary bullets. :yes::gun01:
 
I was wrong, you don't have to double tap it. To select the incendiary bullets you release the D pad while still holding the right analog stick.
 
Killer Instinct: Season 3 comes with substantial graphics upgrade

image

It seems as though we will get a graphical improvement with Killer Instinct coming alongside Season 3 of the game. The biggest difference is said to be the lighting system, which was already top notch but when you see the before and after picture, you will be amazed.

Here is the old lighting engine…

And here is the new improved look...

The developers of the game stated that it was “time for an overhaul”, and that “characters now composite into the scenes in a way that is really believable”. Judging by the screenshots before and after the lighting improvement, although the old game looked beautiful, this upcoming update will drastically change the look of the game for the better. The better lighting should also make for a more immersive experience. I'm really excited to see this in-game for myself.

What is the free weapon that was given away today? The on screen message disappeared before I could read it. I didn't see any new weapons.
 
Did anyone else have any trouble with the boss with the flame thrower where you have to turn the power back on? I died the first time fighting him trying to shoot a explosive container. The second time I used my pistol and killed him with half of his health gone.

Next time itll probably be easier to have a team with you when taking on bosses like that
 
Almost everybody on my friends list is playing The Division. No more 2k and netflix lol. I wonder how much this game will make the first week.
 
having played the division beta, I can't wait until this games comes out. Just need to get some friends to join in with me.
 
We definitely need a BGOL clan like we did with call of duty. I was on there with black Pat and shit was fun we got them some things handled but we need more group members to come on board, especially in the dark zone that place ain't no joke it's a madhouse in there . Xbox one tag Djdvs73

As far as the Xbox side I know some of the GTA Online players will be picking up the Division. I don't know how soon I'll be on it but I plan on getting it at some point.
