Aneres11 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Hey....so about moving things you can move stuff you have pinned but not anything else. It's also actually easier to move it using the Smartglass app...no idea why they don't let you press a button to bring up arrows around all the sides to let you move them. I realised you may not even know what pinning is? Pinning enables you to put apps and games down the far left of the menu. It's brought up by going into your games and pressing menu and selecting pin! Anyway yes I agree it makes all other OS' archaic but it does have some real usability issues along with some bits not quite working as fast as they should. Trust me though it's running way smoother than it used to. Also some bits are easier to do with Kinect...for example if I want to use a code I always say xbox use a code! and it's even better when they are the QR codes as there is no typing! Although by looks of it you are Kinectless? Oh yeah I always forget about the disc on the other side. It's become so normal to me! It's so nice to have new members on here who are Xbox One owners....we were severely outnumbered at one point, looks like we are catching up now! What games does everyone have all in so we can work out some multiplayer! Yeah I discovered pins late last night after my last post! I actually think they're a really good feature. At least all the stuff you want or need is just to the side rather than trawling through a few pages to get what you want. I like you can pin apps and downloaded games there too. And yeah, I'm kinect-less. Newer consoles are bundled without it and I don't have any need for it in my tiny room! Although I did notice when typing the Sunset Overdrive code in that it can be scanned with kinect which I thought was pretty genius! It does seem like the One group is growing a bit! I had no idea there weren't too many with one until I was looking into getting one and ventured into here! But it's great to see that there's loads of discussion going on in here now! And that it's mostly positive! I mean, I understand all the consoles have their negative talking points and it makes for good talking comparing them, but the One does have its plus points which are worth shouting about too! Will post more thoughts later once I've messed and played some more. Need to try out my accessories too! ---------------- double posted Spent some more time this evening on the console. Everything seems to make a bit more sense now although I am still learning where everything is and how to change things. I was noticing that every time I turned the console on, I had to sign in and enter my password. Every frickin time!! but turns out there's an option to turn that off... So all is good now. Everything has downloaded and installed nicely. Unlocked a few achievements whilst playing Sunset Overdrive earlier. Very nice new achievement layout too. I like how you can immediately see what achievement you have unlocked by holding the home button, and how the achievement list 'snaps' to the side and let's you see what you've unlocked and not unlocked. Also like how it shows a percentage of how far you are into unlocking an achievement. Very impressed here. : peace: I do enjoy an achievement hoard. I tried my headset adapter out just now... I literally am so impressed with this thing. Obviously I only tried it whilst solo gaming, but the sound was great coming through my headphones rather than the TV! Having the option to flick between game sound and chatting in a party or online by just pressing a button is also really good, same with muting. I dunno if PS4 does this with just a pair of headphones plugged into the controller (be even more impressive than this if it did!) but it's a great new gaming feature I've never really thought about before. But I love it. Definitely glad I picked one of these up! Still not got round to plugging my sky box into the One yet and seeing what it's like through that, but am quite eager to do so. Will probably be tomorrow now as I've spent 2 hours on Sunset Overdrive and now wanna little blast on Forza before I get to sleep. So far so good though. I am feeling more and more content with my purchase the more time I spend on it! The games are helping of course, as both Forza and SO are incredible.

martinist Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Downloaded Sunset Overdrive last night. Started around 1PM and the download finished about 10 hours later. Then again I live in the middle of nowhere and I don't have fancy fiber optic like everyone else :P Its fun going by what I've played already. been playing more horizon 2 more than anything else. Advanced Warfare was sent out today so I might give that a look on Monday. Also the Halo collection a week after that.
Aneres11 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 So what is everyone's gamertag then? I know most of you have already given it but I can't be arsed trawling back... I'm Aneres11 Need to add you lot so I can get some friends going, I only have about 4 at the min who play theirs quite regularly.

Aneres11 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I'm flameboyNE I did already add you! martinist2007 I think you're already on my list though. Just added you both. It seems I had 2 new activity alerts in the friend system which I only just seen from you both. So I accepted and then I became a 'follower' of you, which has now allowed me to view you as friends. Think with the One, you both have to add each other? Is that right? The 360 was just someone has added you accept / decline. That was easier! Or has it always been this way?! Flameboy - I didn't see your comment until just now re Sunset Overdrive, so I apologise! Cool that you can like and comment on others activities though! That's a good feature!

Yes the social stuff wasn't completely there to start with but it's something I'm trying to make use of more.
Aneres11 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Just seen this: Ugh. So many. Well, there's 4 of those that I'd like to buy. Firstly Halo which I think I'm definitely gonna buy. Lego Batman is always a solid title. Far Cry looks like it's gonna be good and I've never played GTA so wouldn't mind picking that up too. When does the November update hit?!
S.C.G Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Well for me it'll be... Call of Duty - if it's cheap (deal at work) and if it's good, so yes if both those categories are fulfilled though really I might just leave it for once. *pre-ordered* for £31.50 Halo Master Chief Collection - obvious choice, it's Halo, it's on Xbox only, it'll be good. Grand Theft Auto V - now I got this on the 360 but next-gen newness enhancements plus extra dlc? Only thing is Xbox One or PS4? whichever has the dlc exclusive for a month I guess. As for the rest... PES, Shape Up, Ass Creed, Lega Batman, and WW2K...whatever do nothing for me. Farcry 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition I could see myself investing in but at a later date, literally too many games in November though, it's the same every year. ------------------------------------------------------------ Added @Aneres11 @flameboy @martinist @Kaepora_Gaebora @Happenstance Edited November 2, 2014 by S.C.G
Aneres11 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Nice one S.C.G. What is your gamertag? Unless I add you back I won't see you as a friend! I played some online Forza with a mate last night. Was fun We went through these 'Bucket List' challenges in Co-op. Things like 'break the speed limit', so there are speed cameras on the road and a target of, say 350MPH. The aim is to both drive through the speed camera and get a combined score of 350MH or over to scratch it off the bucket list. Others are like, 'beat sundown in the Ferrari'. Basically drive like a madman to try and get to the destination before sundown. It combines your timings and gives you a combined target to smash. Really good fun! Had a bit of trouble with my headset adapotor though, for some reason my mate couldn't hear me. I was only using my cheap Apple headphones but when I swapped them out to the pair I got with my BlackBerry, it was fine. Apparently Apple headsets don't work well with it! Managed to bag myself XBOX Live for £23 last night too! For 12 months! Get on CDKeys.com and 'like' their facebook Page for an additional 5% off their already cheap price and you're good to go! Arrives in seconds! Edited November 3, 2014 by Aneres11
S.C.G Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Added @Aneres11 @flameboy @martinist @Kaepora_Gaebora @Happenstance Nice one S.C.G. What is your gamertag? Unless I add you back I won't see you as a friend! I played some online Forza with a mate last night. Was fun Silly me! I thought it was similar to the system we had on Xbox 360 where once you add someone as a friend it actually sends them a request, apparently not though, in any case my Gamertag is... Metal Mutiny :awesome: Good to hear that you're having fun with Forza, I had another quick blast on Sunset Overdrive last night, was too tired to appreciate most of it or even to navigate the map but I did manage to do a challenge involving bombs where there were many explosive references abound, so that was fun.
flameboy Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Christ no. lol...dammit, wanna get a team going like the PS4 guys!
Aneres11 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 lol...dammit, wanna get a team going like the PS4 guys! Ha sorry. Although that would be cool. Sounds like they have fun with it! I just absolutely hate football.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Just get a PS4..... Maybe u could buy him one?
Esequiel Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Xbox ones are worth a decent amount on trade in Gutted I never finished Titanfall before mine broke, if the price keeps falling I may have to pick up another :0
Happenstance Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Turns out you cant install the Master Chief Collection unless you are online with the Xbox. I hate this machine more everyday.
Aneres11 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Just spent a stupidly long amount of time taking advantage of the new update and changing the background colour and dashboard colours before finally setting on a nice BLUE theme! Finally, my One no longer looks black and boring! It's the small things that keep me happy!

I currently have mine as some achievement art from the Dead Rising 3 DLC and it looks awesome!
Aneres11 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah it's a really nice feature. I currently have mine as some achievement art from the Dead Rising 3 DLC and it looks awesome! Yeah I looked through my cheevo's but none of them were good enough for background so I went for a solid colour. Cant believe the difference it has made! Looks much better! : peace:
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 The Titanfall achievement art looks like it was made for these background pictures, looks great!
Charlie Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Did anyone new pick up FIFA 15? Yeah I've got it. Really enjoying it. Turns out you cant install the Master Chief Collection unless you are online with the Xbox. I hate this machine more everyday. Why would you have an Xbox One and not be online with it? No reason not to as it's WiFi enabled.
bob Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Maybe he doesn't have wifi? Maybe he doesn't have home Internet? Maybe he cancelled his broadband subscription to prevent the government watching him? YOU DON'T KNOW HIM.
