Unease Peanut

Hello guys, I again find myself with nothing to do and decided to make another review. Before I start I wanted to thank Total Mayhem for providing me with great feedback on my previous review. So...Let's get started. The Xbox One As you all might have noticed about a week ago I got my very own Xbox One. And I have never been so excited to go home from school and wait for a mailman! Once he delivered I rushed upstairs to plug it all in only to find out they gave me an english power cable (I live in the Netherlands so it is useless here)... Thank you local gamestore! My parents are still making fun of the face I made when I pulled the power cable out. Luckily I was able to 'borrow' the right cable from my 360 console. (Don't worry, My local gamestore was nice enough to still send me a power adapter for free) The console needed to apply some updates before I could play so I decided to take a look at... The controller. One of the first things I noticed was that it was almost as smooth as silk in my hands. And the removal of the battery pack at the back made it look less bulky. It fit like a glove. Then I noticed the changes to the analog sticks. They were a bit smaller and didn't have as much resistance as the xbox 360 controller. You need about 0 effort to push them around which makes it easier to react in shooters. The triggers have the same thing. Very little resistance on the pull. Only these are made larger and your fingers can kinda curl around them, which feels nice. The one thing that did bother me a bit were the bumpers. I don't know why but you have to press a lot harder in the inside parts of the bumpers than on the outside parts. Which makes it a bit more difficult to press for players with larger fingers. After the console did what needed to be done and I ran the setup. I was surprised about how the kinect recognized me and automaticly signed me in. So I decided to play around with the kinect for a bit. The Kinect I have never used a kinect on the 360 so this thing is kinda new to me. After walking through a tutorial on how to use it. I tried some of the gesture commands. My room isn't the recommended size but I can still use the gesture commands to go around the dashboard. The commands are not hard to memorize which is a plus aswell. The only problem I've encountered so far is to 'push' buttons or tabs that are in the lower areas of the screen. But I think that is because I too close to the sensor. Then I tried to use voice commands. Whilst my Xbox One was set to Irish. Needless to say It didn't work because it didn't recognize my dutch accent. Even telling it to "Tern yerself on ya bloody -Yoink!-, I'll reward ya with a good 'ol scotch" didn't work. After changing it to the US it worked a lot better. The only times it doesn't work now is if I try to put in commands that don't exsist. I so far really don't get how people are complaining about how it doesn't work. Even with a heavy Dutch accent I'm able to put in voice commands 99% of the time. Overall a very nice adition to the console Now onto the... Dashboard The Dashboard is very familiar to the xbox 360 dashboard. Only now the 'Home' page is all yours. No more ads. It only displays the stuff that is yours. (The ads you see to the left are from the 'Store' section) You have quick acces to eveything you are playing or have recently played. With the Home button on your controller, the gesture command or the voice commands you can easily switch between games and apps without needing to shut one of them down. So while your game is loading or installing you can watch some youtube video's to kill the time. Very nice feature. The lesser amount of tabs makes it easier to move through the dashboard but I found myself wondering where I could acces my xbox settings and or storage. Now onto my conclusion because this post is getting rather long. Overall the Xbox One is a very good console. It has it's minor flaws here and there but hey... nothing is perfect. Is it worth the €600,-? That remains a question for yourself to answer. In my opinion is is a bit at a high price. But I still think it was totally worth it. Thanks for reading through this and please leave some comments and or tips. Have a nice day!

I own a copy of Titanfall and I have yet experience some huge issues. It's a must buy!

This is one of the major rules on my college. If more than abour 50% is copy-pasted from other websites we're in serious trouble. This is a fair warning and just post your sources and such to avoid any problems. I totally agree to this post.

Is this America only?

Show no mercy to these people!

I so far have had a 1v1 against several of you guys. I mean... Look at that list! Casualty list 1v1 -Mr.Biggles -Crutch -DarkAngel -JXZAW -Coldfreeze -Therubyprincess -Rue -Mothman -JL -Caboose The Ace -Butch Flowers -Halo5willbecool -Silent Alpha -Maestro -BeckoningZebra1 -Senguie -The Director -RedStarRocket91 -Bnus But that´s not enough to quench my bloodthirst! I challenge each and everyone of you for a 1v1. So far only GSD and Mr.Biggles have bested me while others have fallen in my path of iminent destruction. (Don't worry GSD I'll get you someday) COME AT ME BRO!

I didn't play the beta so I cannot compare this to the full release. As for the people who haven't played the beta aswell this game is brand new and is full of new things to explore.

Hello all, I had not much to do so I decided to review the new game I just got. I recently recieved Titanfall in my mailbox and didn't hesitate to eject my former only game for the Xbox One (Bf4) and insert Titanfall. After watching some Youtube video's while it was installing, I really love the multi tasking on this console, I could finally boot up the game. After some general pressing start and A procedures I was finally able to get into the game. I really liked how they set up the tutorial but after 10 stations it was getting kinda boring and the Hammond industries (I belive that's the name) logo appearing after each station was a bit useless. After that was done I could finally play some myself. I launched the campaign and was really surprised to see that it was a multiplayer campaign! I was amazed by how they combined multiplayer gameplay with a campaign story line. Although I still don't know how the side your playing against views this campaign story. You really get immersed into the game. And the AI grunts and other troops make it look like a real battlefield. Although it's a bit weird how the AI decides to crouch down in the open and fire in the general direction of the enemy basicly painting a gaint bulls-eye on their heads. Lost a few matches in there, but hey I'm new to this. I decided to check out the regular multiplayer so I was able to decide what game mode to play. I went with the regular TDM like gametype. After some time playing I noticed how quickly you are able to obtain a Titan, and how easy it is to lose it again . My first Titan didn't last longer than 30 seconds as it was instantly crushed by two enemy titans and a Pilot who was riding me like a little piggy. After I got used to the game some more I was really able to defeat enemy titans and even achieve some awesome streaks and multi kills, which also invoke funny or witty comments from the officer talking through your HUD. And seeing enemies try to flee to their evac and seeing them get shot out of the air while they 'try' to escape really brought a smile to my face. Overall I really really enjoy this game. A fast pased FPS with gaint mechs? What's not to like about that?! For now I give this game a 8.5/10 and I highly recommend picking this game up and if you do not own the Xbox One yet buy the bundle. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for reading through this massive wall of text. It is the first review I've ever written and I'd like to get some tips and tricks for future reviews. That's it, Good day to you all! Post EDIT: Thanks to Total Mayhem for the better lay-out!

How do I do internetz?

They experimented with something new in the Halo franchise. And they made good effort in my opinion. It gives you a chance to strike back at the enemy who completely dominating the map and spawn killing your entire team over and over again.

Halo 4 has a ranking system that you ma out rather quickly if you compare it to the previous titles. However it is still an awesome game! I would pick it up if I were you! And what do you mean with a titanfall port?

On one side Sith lords have to force so they could just dodge/ block anything and lift a spartan of the ground by just thinking about it. On the other side Spartans are clever enough to find a way around that I believe.

Congratz guys. Edward keeps the illusion of every MoM getting promoted to staff alive I see.

No way I'm comfy right here. Besides that the WiFi must be terrible over there!

Halowaypoint has a video about the Gravemind. If I rember correctly there is not one single Gravemind. Once the Flood is released upon a planet their first goal is to infect as many organisms as possible. Then once they have achieved that they start working towards building a Gravemind. A thing to control all the Flood masses because else they would have no purpose. A Gravemind is build out of organisms they have harvested and it also harvests their knowledge. These stages are clearly seen in Halo:CE. First the infection spreads, then they build a proto-gravemind on the Truth and Reconsilliation (The name proto-gravemind comes from the kinect scanning function and in a terminal vid is shown that the proto-gravemind is harvesting captain Keyes' knowledge). Once you destroy a Gravemind. They'll just build a new one.

I think there's a topic on the Halowaypoint forums about being banned. Might want to check that out.

I thought you'd be still playing when I got back from work

The skins were fun and all but most of 'em weren't that great. I'd like to see them return but with more options. And for the love of god don't make them micro transactions!

http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/gleegirlie23/Gifs/excited.gif~original So excited! See you all after work!

Did we meet? Anyway welcome back. Hope to play with you some time!

1. Loadout's aren't all that bad. It gives certain players a chance to play with what's best for them instead of getting stuck up with a gun they don't like. And there are still playlists with forced loadouts 2. Agreed. I like the 'every game counts' thing. I'm stuck in halo 4 with not earning anything from playing games. It is still fun don't get me wrong. But it feels like I don't achieve that much. 3. I like more guns! And all the different weapons do serve a purpose. They all have different stats and they all have a preferable playist style/technique. Would like Dual wielding back though! 4. Dedicated servers YES! Also increased vieuwing distance would be nice. I hate seeing that one rock without texture from afar. Also let debris and weapons lie around for more that 10 seconds!

I might have some 2 day trails. Just PM me and I'll see if I still have codes that work!

QWOP JK I'd like to be ported into Halo (yes I know that's cheesy but it would be AWESOME!)

You're right. I play on a computer monitor aswell and I can notice movement almost instantly and react to it. I've noticed when I play on a bigger screen my eyes get tired far more quickly. Never liked playing on split screen in competetive multiplayer though. I don't know if this still happens in halo 4 but in Reach the graphics just went completely bad. But I can however understand how this could be a advantage because of little distractions.

Ahhh. Brought a tear to my eye... I mean dust... Yeah dust got in my eyes!
