So a month ago after my last post I ended up buying a Xbox One. I know I know, xbox fan boy comments may start if you wish. BUT... I'm not that impressed as of right now.
Don't get me wrong the advancements are great but its missing alot of stuff that made the 360 work great as a multimedia console. I say multimedia because I mainly used my 360 for media use (netflix, hulu, youtube, ect) and enjoyed how it ran. The whole 'new' design of how they lay out choices for these apps I have been using on my 360 to the One is now weirder and weirder. I know that with new consoles they have a good year to fix out all the bugs and re-figure out how to make things run 'smoother'. But if your going to make a product and have it work amazingly then bring out a newer faster product, you don't just throw the whole design out the door. You work off what you've been known for.
And don't get me started on the personalizing of it. The party system is really pissing me off this past week. Myself and my cousin have been playing Titanfall and with the 360 you could set up flags that would go off when a game was launched by someone on your friends list. Like mine would go off when someone started playing halo ce or Left 4 dead. The One needs to bring this back because I end up spending a few extra mins loading my friends list just to see through the 80+ people on my list who's playing what. If there was a notification on who signs on and what is being played I'd be happier. But sadly there isn't, yet.
Speaking of Titanfall I was once again the first in my home town (of 17,000) to pick up a copy. I showed up at about 10:30pm the night of. Why you may ask? Cuz at 10pm Raw ended and I was bored. So while at the Walmart the 'clerk' asked if I needed help. I told her that I was there to pick up the game and was wondering if they had any of the new headsets for the One that were to be released the same night. I've grown use to playing with Turtle Beach and Triton headsets over the past year and want to keep up with that. The headset that came with the One is utter crap. Yea you heard me... crap.
So she said "yes I'll go look if they came in". A little later she came wheeling back out and said they were in. So I killed another hour or so around the store then hit the counter to stand in line. Some gal from EA games was there asking me questions about 'what I was excited for". I just said "I hope the servers don't blow up like a majority of the games do". Amazingly she laughed about it. Got my pic taken for their site and then they brought out the games. I had to wait till 12:01 am to actually buy it, but something wasn't right? I asked the 'clerk' if the headsets were coming out tonight too since I wanted to get one and she knew I did. So gave me the crappiest, non-worth a damn answer I've ever heard. "Yea they didn't come in". YET YOU CLEARLY SAW THEM IN THE BACK! As I was leaving I asked another clerk if they were there and he said "yea she was suppose to bring them out". I walked back to the counter where she was and asked if she'd go look. yea she said she wasn't going to. I kinda went off and told her that she was worthless as an employee and just a lazy whore. Like 6 people in line agreed with me since they were there too to pick up the headsets.
Just amazes me at how worthless you can be at a job that you just supply customers with what they need by going 20 feet to grab something. Sorry kinda ranted there.
But all in all the game is great, lol. I've been playing for 19.75 hours and am at level 47 with 50 being the max. Hopefully I'll be 50 by monday night.
