Sometimes I have to press the home button a few times to register it.

i love the xbox one, but who on their right mind wanted to implement install disc's first. its been 1 hr 30 mins on dead rising 3 and its still on 1% after i downloaded the update.

Do you have a slow internet connection? Unplug and you should be able to play faster.

I feel like the only appealing games for the XB1 are the ones that are free (i.e. Killer Instinct, Kinect Sports Rivals Preseason).

Someone tell me you also share the same opinion.

I really don't know what disk-available game to buy.

I'm not into Forza because I drive 3-4 hours a day for work.
Never got into Dead Rising.
Ryse looks great, but I don't know about the gameplay.
Call of Doges. Enough said.
I don't play EA Sports or games.

Found this on reddit a little bit ago and figured (if it hasn't already been thrown up here somewhere) some of ya'll might find this helpful.

Any word on when D4 is supposed to drop? I thought for some reason it was a launch game. Considering getting an XBONE for Crimson Dragon and D4 alone (at some point). I've got my PS4 right now, but other than Knack and Resogun, the library is pretty snooze-town for me. I just listened to some of the OST from CD and I feel so energized and pumped about everything (lol!). These two games are definitely not going anywhere, right? I'm mainly looking to get an XBONE for those rare, unique Japanese developed games that always find their way to Microsoft's machine somehow.

Just got my clocked cleaned in Killer Instinct online. I was kicking ass during the beginning then it all went to hell...This gif captures my expressions perfectly.

Dead Rising is a ton of fun, if you have an X1 I'd say it's worth it to give it a try. Assassins Creed is also fun. Other than that I don't think there are any other games out that you haven't mentioned already.

Edit:

I forgot to mention that I haven't tried Zoo Tycoon or the Xbox Fitness stuff but based on the Giant Bomb live stream both of those look surprisingly good.

THE WORDS! They'll drift away without the _!
What happened to that app with the player counts for each game that was shown by the guy who got his console early from Target?

Whoa. It didn't take me that long. I think it was like 25-30 minutes for me.

I still haven't opened my XB1 yet.

I just don't know.

GAF argues about DS4 superiority and how the XB1 controller is inferior, but I don't understand why people hold their controllers in weird positions.

If I want AAA high fidelity gaming, my PC is here.

Really really enjoying Dead Rising 3. The changes from 1&2 suit my playing style. The more you play, the more you start to feel its "next-gen-ness", that this couldn't be done last gen.

I'm sort of enjoying FIFA, never tried one before, it's bloody complicated for a newcomer. The graphics are nothing to write home about but it's incredibly crisp at 1080p, some rare exceptions aside it's also jaggy-free, which I didn't expect to see.

I haven't opened mine yet either. I was on the fence about getting a PS4 but I got one. I like it so much that I am a bit torn between keeping the XO.

I also have a Wii U and a 3DS so I am playing Mario 3D World and the new Legend of Zelda. On top of that, I have Tearaway waiting on me. I just don't. I know that I am going to have an XO pretty soon, so why am I hesitating? It's not a money thing and my wife is on the verge of taking the receipt from me. She's been scolding me about taking the dam thing out of the box or she will a hide it so I cannot take it back.

I can tell you that if you plan on getting one soon, just keep it. I am not going to use the TV functions on the system, as I don't watch TV, but I think it's a good package.

Get Ryse. Beautiful game, good fun. End of story.

Remember when the guy who got the system two weeks early posted a screenshot of a screen that showed how many players where in each game? Has anyone found where that is? I am thinking it must be a developer feature that wasn't meant to be seen.

I was wondering the same thing. That was pretty cool.

Take it back for now, Wait 6 months if your happy with PS4. I own both and feel the OS is really buggy right now with friends and parties not working for me, also had the box somehow not recognize the disk when it was in the drive weird stuff. Plus, comparing Cod on both platforms no question PS4 looks better for multiplats.

Exclusives like Forza and DR3 are the reason to keep it though!

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
I was late to work today...lost track of time playing Killer Instinct hahahha. Thunder is fun as hell to use.

Also, amazon gave me $11 back on dead rising 3. I love them.

Tip for people who miss seeing friend activity by hitting Xbox Guide Button:

Say, "Xbox Snap Activity"....

Not a complete solution but the info it gives you is similar obviously.

Awesome thanks, is there anyway to bring up messages in snap?

Also, whenever and wherever I snap, it goes to Killer Instinct and I can't get out of KI without losing snap .... is that a bug?

I'll be in settings, say snap, and it'll take me to KI and add Snap for instance.
 
Really? I've got $44 space bucks and was considering NFS or the Golf game, but if Ryse is worth it, I might have to go for it. Wish they all had demos to play.

Can't say anything for Need for Speed except that loads of people I have read talk about it as loving it.

I have got both Ryse and Powerstar Golf though. Loving Ryse, I think its great, 28% through the story trying not to rush it, really like but played co-op mode with a friend for like 3/4 hours over the last two day.
Powerstar Golf is good as well, surprising amount of depth, got a Fifa Ultimate Team style thing with boosters, perks, abilities etc, seems to have a decent amount of courses too.

Finished all the tutorials and the first two challenges on Zoo Tycoon. Really awesome game. I was expecting a lot, but it's even better than I hoped.

I actually like Ryse quite a bit. I've played it more than any of the other launch games so far, despite its flaws. That said, I would get NFS if you're into arcade racers. It's really great (I played it on ps4)

Cool, thanks. Is there matchmaking for the coop stuff? I don't have any friends who are picking this up, but would definitely like to play some coop.

Great to hear this, not actually heard a bad thing said about it. Getting it Tuesday.

To be fair, I'm rather biased. I love Tycoon games in general. It might not be as fun for everyone else. Still, if you like the previous games in the series, I think the new one is even better than Zoo Tycoon 2. It's not as good as Zoo Tycoon 2 + Expansions, but I'm hoping more stuff will be released via DLC packs. It might not sell well enough for that, though. :(
