10 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit About The Xbox One
5. Mid-Install Start Is Useless
"Don't worry guys, all your Xbox One games may need to be installed before you can play them, but with our new, mid-install 'Ready to Start!' feature, you'll be able to play as you download!" Great, huh? No, not really. Microsoft seemingly failed to mention (or just didn't test the feature extensively enough) that, while you can play your games before they've finished being fully installed, there's little point in doing so. Until that progress bar reaches 100%, the game you're 'playing' will basically be a menu screen, and if you're lucky, the first introductory stage that lasts little more than a handful of minutes. Nothing says immersion-breaking quite like a big, obnoxious pop-up that says "You need to wait until the game finishes installing to continue". Nice. It's not as if I wanted to leave the safety of the Torrens anyway; nobody told me there were Xenomorphs on that space station waiting to rip Ellen Ripley's face off.
