Just got a message from Xbox to opt into the "New Xbox Experience" through the Preview Dashboard, but the actual update should roll out in a few weeks...TONS of bugs are listed for the update though, be careful.
@jongred I agree with you with the generous credit payouts, but I completely undermastand where Ken is coming from in the review. I'll be able to afford those crazy indie cars this time (got payed 1 million for reaching level 2 ) I like to be showered in gifts for doing nothing
Only complaint I have for the game so far is not being able to change the weather/time of day for every race. It's instead dependent on the track, kind of a shame
Good review! Can't wait to play tomorrow! How are the online servers doing? Playing online instead of with psycho murderer Drivatars seems a better option...but only if online runs really smooth.
@Utena-mobile Unfortunately, if that whole 1080p debacle proved anything at all, it's that realistic graphics sell, which gives these companies a huge incentive to kill off this gen once sales slow and they've got their money in order to create slightly more powerful hardware (exactly how Apple and Google sell their phones).
@Utena-mobile If this console generations lifespan is as short as it's rumored to be, then by the time any developer figures it out do you think it might already be too little too late?
Maybe with DX12, the Xbox won't lag and almost explode when I try to snap anything! Heaven forbid I want to start a party with friends!
@BAMozzy Do you think that the Xbox is too complicated for most developers to understand, and that's why lots of games are so horrifically buggy this gen? If so, do you think this buggy phase will ever pass?
You can transfer your 360 saves to the One..for some reason they just didn't feel like letting you know.
You go to the game on the 360 and upload your save in the statistics menu, then download it on the One from that statistics menu.
Assassin's Creed: Super Stabby Edition Maybe update the parkour from the previous games, make it more fluid. I'm also surprised there's no Call of Duty: Super Shooty Edition. All of the classics except 3 would be cool, especially World at War
I'm in the minority in that I think Deadpool is overrated (as is every superhero ever except Spider-Man, until recently) Master Chief is the only super hero for me!
@KelticDevil I was the same way with this, so I rented it and gave up in a few hours. I'd walk around aimlessly for 15 minutes till the monster is overpowered, then die and lose everytime, even with easy difficulty bots. Never will get an all multiplayer game again..
@DRL
I tried the multiplayer last night, it was exactly what you said in the review. People are so good at this game it's crazy hard to even get a single kill, haha.
Anyway, do you have any info on the rest of the series coming to back compat? I thought it would come with the game...
Yes! First to comment on this! This is my moment of glory! Just sold a HUGE amount old DS systems and games, and all my wiiu games for 560 bucks gamestop credit O.o So after class I'll prolly go get Gears, if not I'll be playing through Alien Isolation again, maybe Slender the Arrival if I can find the courage
@Red620Ti I tried and tried to like this on the 360 but it never clicked. It was very confusing and difficult to play. You either love it or hate it, no in between
@Gamer83 I loved 3's combat, but the story was very weak compared to 1 and 2. Gears 2 is unforgettable, the whole Riftworm scene was just astonishing. Don't 'member 1 a whole lot, except of course the final boss on insane difficulty >.>
I remember when Metro Redux came out and if you were in the program 2033 wouldn't load past the first level. Microsoft got a firestorm over it even though MS said things like that would happen, don't join if you don't want bugs!

Re: This Week's Deals With Gold Brings Varied Discounts Across Both Platforms
Might get some platinum for Warframe. Maybe.
Re: Out Today: Destiny: The Taken King (Xbox One, Xbox 360)
@flameboy84
And now I'm supposed to buy the same game again because those three evil letters are promised to fix everything! It's just unbelievable
Re: Out Today: Destiny: The Taken King (Xbox One, Xbox 360)
Ohh Destiny...It's pretty sad when a free to play game (Warframe) is completely better and more entertaining then you are..
Re: Review: Forza Motorsport 6 (Xbox One)
Good review! Can't wait to play tomorrow!

Re: Review: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (Xbox One)
Aww man, the not so good solo experience is exactly what I was afraid of . Thanks for the informative review, I'll give this a miss for now
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventy Two
Been playing Warframe for the very first time since pX was kind enough to give me a booster code.. it's really fun I'm enjoying it but it's confusing
Re: Out Today: Castle Crashers Remastered (Xbox One)
You can transfer your 360 saves to the One..for some reason they just didn't feel like letting you know.
You go to the game on the 360 and upload your save in the statistics menu, then download it on the One from that statistics menu.
Re: Castle Crashers Remastered Launches This Week, Free for Those Who Bought the Xbox 360 Version
@Cero
By the way, you can download your 360 Castle Crasher saves to the XB1..you go on the 360 to upload your saves then download it to the XB1
Re: Castle Crashers Remastered Launches This Week, Free for Those Who Bought the Xbox 360 Version
@Cero
I just got it for free on Smartglass. I guess they fixed it now
Re: Out Today: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (Xbox One)
I was going to get this.. but Castle Crashers came out :/
Re: Castle Crashers Remastered Launches This Week, Free for Those Who Bought the Xbox 360 Version
@Cero
Same, even the picture in the store isn't loaded in. Hopefully it will work later
Re: Changes to Xbox One Reputation System Are "In the Works"
It needs to be more obvious, you have to load up their gamercard to even see it, and there's a 99% chance it's just "good"
Re: Castle Crashers Remastered Launches This Week, Free for Those Who Bought the Xbox 360 Version
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! I'M SO EXCITED
Re: Borderlands Now Backward Compatible for Preview Program Members on Xbox One

Did you have to download an 8 gig ypdate to play borderlands?
Re: Warframe: Echoes of the Sentient Live on Xbox One - MASSIVE Code Giveaway Here!
Never played it, but I'll try when i get the chance!
Thanks for the code
Re: Talking Point: Now That Rare Replay is on the Shelves, Which Other Compilations Would You Like to See?
Assassin's Creed: Super Stabby Edition
Maybe update the parkour from the previous games, make it more fluid.
I'm also surprised there's no Call of Duty: Super Shooty Edition. All of the classics except 3 would be cool, especially World at War
Re: Elite: Dangerous Gets Final Release Date and Updates for Xbox One
Is this any good? Looks really cool but I dunno
Re: Borderlands Now Backward Compatible for Preview Program Members on Xbox One
Yaaay!
Still mad about Gears tho
Re: Deadpool Repackage Set to Hit Xbox One in November
I'm in the minority in that I think Deadpool is overrated (as is every superhero ever except Spider-Man, until recently)
Master Chief is the only super hero for me!
Re: Out Today: Mad Max (Xbox One)
@DRL
Looks better than MGSV
Re: Evolve Goes Free This Weekend for Xbox Live Gold Subscribers, Announces Discount for Next Week
@KelticDevil
I was the same way with this, so I rented it and gave up in a few hours. I'd walk around aimlessly for 15 minutes till the monster is overpowered, then die and lose everytime, even with easy difficulty bots.
Never will get an all multiplayer game again..
Re: Hidden Savings to be Found as This Week's Deals With Gold Announced
@JaxonH
Only complaint I'd have left is if they could make the darn tootin party chat work correctly
Re: Elite Controller Gets Company as Razer and PowerA Announce New Premium Devices
No thanks, the Microsoft Elite looks way better in my opinion, the sleek blackness of it looks divine
Re: Hold On To Your Titfer: Merchoid Is Making an Official Assassin's Creed Top Hat
...Well...that's a thing
Re: Hidden Savings to be Found as This Week's Deals With Gold Announced
@Utena-mobile
I agree, the XB1 store is horribly designed...hopefully the new UI coming up will make it super awesome like Windows 10 is

Re: Black Ops 3 Beta Hits A Few Bumps On Xbox One
'Tis the whole point of a beta. Not a COD fan, but they don't deserve bad rep for this
Re: Review: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (Xbox One)
Can you play with bots instead of invincible people spamming gnashers everywhere?

Re: Out Today: Goat Simulator: Mmore Goatz Edition (Xbox One)
@SuperKMx
Nope, you sure can't, just checked the store....wow It's like I'm being punished for buying their game
Re: Out Today: Goat Simulator: Mmore Goatz Edition (Xbox One)
Umm...I paid 10 bucks for the mediocre original game....do I get this free?
