After my earlier post on here about no decent games on the Xbox, well Battlefield 1 is amazing and really enjoying Gears of War 4
Oh and I bought an Xbox One S and sold my old one to a friend

Came up last night saying it had to download an update for a game of 895MB so after what peeps have been finding above I thought I would time it.
Took 76 seconds to download and I suppose as it was an update there was no installation. So based on that a sizeable game should clock in at under an hour still. Seems fine to me.
It's been a while since I paid attention but this was one of the big differences. PS3 used to download the game and THEN install it. XBox would download and there would be no"installation" part which made things a bit quicker. Can't remember if this is the same with this generation. Basically if I want to go to the shop to buy a game it will take me an hour all in. If it takes an hour to download then that's great. If it takes a bit longer I'm also not fussed as I haven't got to waste the best part of an hour behind the wheel to get into Milton Keynes!
If it took 12 hours or more then I would be annoyed.

Mine took around 2 hours to download gears 4. I preloaded mine and a friend who downloaded on the day it was released got around 7mb/s on his 100mb connection.
That "ready to play" thing it does with installs is bullshit. It should just say "ready to load the games menu". So many games I have installed, it said ready to play and then I go into the game and I still can't play it.

Yeah it's bullshit, I noticed the games (some) are now installing a loading demo style level so when it says "Ready to play" you get to play a demo of sorts which disappears when it is fully downloaded. I'd rather they didn't bother wasting time and bandwidth with that bollox.

It's odd, Steam have been doing this for years - the download/install is perfect. One progress bar then you can jump straight in. Servers are rock steady too.
As for OP, I don't have the xbox one, mostly because of the exclusives I normally favour Sony's offering. However, so far this generation there has been only one game that has seemed worthwhile, that being uncharted 4 (which, if we're honest, is a really really pretty uncharted 3).
I seem to prefer the smaller indie developments nowadays, so for that PC will always come out on top.
