Great performance on enhanced games! Terrible dashboard/UI!
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017
First off I want to say I'm a gamer. I did not get this console for the 4K blu-ray player or because I'm a die hard Xbox fan. I got this so that I could play Xbox One/360 and the occasional original Xbox game on the best Xbox console available. This is my first Xbox One console so I wont be able to compare it with older models but I do have every other console out right now including a newer gaming PC with 4K monitor. I do all my console gaming on a 1080p projector so I was mainly interested in performance and not 4K. With all that being said I just have a couple personal pros and cons.My likes: So yeah, the Xbox One X enhanced games look awesome! The first game I downloaded was Halo 5 and was instantly impressed on how smooth and stable the game felt from a console! Definitely impressive although the insane file size of 95GB! The way this game looks even on my 1080p screen I felt outweighed some of my frustrations. I still think its an awesome piece of tech. probably more for enthusiasts than casuals. The console itself is small yet heavy which just makes it feel like a quality productMy dislikes: The Xbox dashboard itself is just absolutely terrible! It feels like everything important is hidden away while things like advertisements are right on the home screen. It's also incredibly slow and unstable even on the "most powerful console ever made" The UI feels slower than the dashboard on the original PS4 or even the Xbox360! WTH! The Xbox store app is especially frustrating as it crashes on me pretty much every time I use it! My other gripe, which is the same as everyone else's, is the lack of first party games. I already knew this before purchasing but I felt it even harder as I scrolled through the Xbox store on my brand new console with not a lot of decent games to download! Lastly, no rechargeable batteries for Xbox One controllers....yeah... still in 2017 apparently its still an issue, this just drives me nuts.I recommend this console mainly to those that are strictly console gamer's and cant wait for the next gen consoles to come out. You definitely get PC like performance on this with Xbox One X Enhanced games. If you're like me than you are probably unbiased on consoles, and just enjoy gaming, which means you should buy this just so you can have it and be able play any game that comes out!
