Ryse and Xbox One - my thoughts.

Hm, yea, these are pretty much exactly the kind of impressions I expected from DirtyP and Selnor and we will probably get very similar sounding ones from ethomaz and Turkish, once they have their PS4s.

Ofcourse I'm glad you guys are enjoying what you got and I don't doubt you do, yet I'm more interested in impressions that not only say "everything is perfect", but manage to identify and explain the flaws (there always are some), because usually I'm somebody who notices flaws and I feel better about those if I knew them prior to my purchase.

I was just tired of all these bullshit threads / articles that blow minor issues out of proportion.

"MS BANS CONSOLES WHEN YOU SAY 'DICK' ON SKYPE!!!!!111"
"Xbox Ones OS is broken!"
"Voice Commands do not work!"

we had this waaayyy too much. Therefore this was rather positive. And no, it is not perfect.

Here are the things I disliked:
Day One patches for almost every game and the console itself took a while to get the system up and running. Took me some time to download 500MB day one patch, 1.3 GB Ryse day one patch (!!!), 800MB Dead Rising 3 and CoD Ghost day one patches . Devs probably had to hit their deadlines.

And the window about downloading / installing your game could be more informative. I did not even know I had to download 1.3 GB for Ryse and it only said "installing". So the first 4-5% are actually a download and not an install. So I asked myself how long will this take, after 30 Minutes I just had 5% "installed". The other 90% took 10 minutes though. This should have been more obvious.

Other than that, everything runs fine and as expected.
