Switched over from PS4 thinking that the Xbox had to be better......ugh..... First off I switched to Xbox primarily to be able to join games with my friends who play Xbox.....nothing but difficulty with this. Party invites not accepted or received, game invites not accepted or received from me to friends or friends to me..... I have literally abadoned or cut short playing games with family and friends because of this...so as a paying customer that is an automatic fail for me.
Another issue is that the Xbox Series X overheats. Literally to the point where whatever game I am playing degrades, freezes and becomes unplayable at that time. I had to go buy a fan to direct at it. Again as a paying customer this is an automatic fail for me. Services and hardware not working as it should. I should not have to buy a fan to make sure it doesn't overheat......PS4 never did that to me.
The controller.....I actually like the design and everything..... but again the product doesn't work as it is supposed too. Right and left bumpers are stiff, not receptive when pushed. I literally have to push down deliberately hard every time....as anyone who games can imagine this does not work out well in the middle of gameplay when I expect a button to react almost instantly when pressed.....not the case here. Fyi this is an issue with both of my brand new controllers purchased separately. There is a bit of a fix that now has me frantically holding down the triggers and blowing in the gap between them and the bumper mid gameplay looking like a complete idiot trying to play my controller like a harmonica. So again an automatic fail.
All in all like the gaming industry companies putting out broken products while charging top dollar. I consider it criminal and fraud but that's where we are today I guess.
Would certainly not recommend. I am considering switching back to Playstation and have been cutting down on gaming in general (not by choice but nothing works including a lot of games).
Just bought Aliens: Dark Descent.....yeah broken and riddled with bugs. Took me about 6 tries to get through the 1st mission due due bugs stopping the game multiple times then restarting from the last save until it bugs out again.....I mean rediculous really.
So yeah for Xbox I give a 0/10 for the high price of a broken product really. For what good there is (like improved graphics and load times) this is completely overshadowed and consumed by the extra money, frustration and time that it will also cost. Save your money for something else that at least works the way it should.
