An article tells me why into the pit XBOX.

Unlike many post-90 s peers, they come from

The purpose is to share your mental journey of buying XBOX. I hope you can do what you can and spend rationally.

It all started with XGP.

At first, I came into contact with XBOX not on the mainframe or computer, nor on the handle that now seems to upgrade the game experience to a higher level, but in 20 16, two years before the lifting of the ban on game consoles in Chinese mainland. When I passed the most prosperous shopping mall in the city center, I couldn't help but walk in and have a look, and I happened to see a game machine shop. Although the XBOX somatosensory experience in the store is not bad, sales also strongly recommend Tomb Raider: Rise, which was just released at that time, but faced with a CD of two or three hundred yuan (I can afford it now, but I still can't bear it), I asked myself in sales: Why not buy it on STEAM at this price?

Until 202 1, I

Why do I seldom buy games since I bought Microsoft XGP? Is GamePass Worth Buying (xiaoheihe.cn)

Make up your mind, into the pit XBOX.

At that time, there was a game that often appeared on the recommendation promotion page of STEAM, which happened to be included by XGP. It's a "man-eating shark", but the download experience of XBOXAPP is particularly poor. It shows "unexpected error" for several days, which makes me very angry. I failed to communicate with the customer service for many times, but I got a key message from the customer service: the XGPU service I bought can be used on both the computer and the host platform. At this time, my heart was a little shaken, and a game would never make me make up my mind. At this time, XBOXAPP finally sent the last straw.

If you have downloaded a game from XBOX on the computer side, you must remember the complicated account binding operation before entering the game. Have you ever seen a game that doesn't pop up a binding page? That's right, it's you, going to war. At that time, I remembered that my XGPU service could continue to be used on the host; I also looked at the 1080 graphics card that I have worked hard at home for many years-some 3A masterpieces have already made it overwhelmed; After considering that I don't have to sit in front of the computer all day and the next generation's top experience, I finally decided to buy an XSS.

Xbox- a new door to the game world

Maybe you will ask me first why not buy a better XSX and buy a lower version of XSS? On the one hand, it is economic strength. Before buying, our family had just moved, so I used part of my pocket money savings, plus the money for reselling second-hand idle items, worked hard on various platforms, supplemented by certain measures to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and finally saved enough 2 100 yuan to find a buyer in the same city on idle fish. On the other hand, I'm going to study in Thailand this June. I am reluctant to go abroad with a huge XSX on my back. There is also a secondary reason. The TV at home is still 1080p.

Finally, we might as well talk about my game experience changes from computer to host.

From sedentary to changeable posture, my game experience is more comfortable. As we all know, sedentary is not good for health, but neither you nor I can resist the charm of games. However, if you move the playing field from the room to the living room, it is so comfortable to stand, lie down and sit, which is completely free from space restrictions. I haven't felt the discomfort caused by sitting for a long time.

With the quick recovery function, I can never go back to looking at the startup interface. In the fast-paced life, all gamers want to go home and enter the entertainment mode after a hard day. But you have to turn on the computer, enter the password, find the corresponding platform, and then turn on the game. Some games need extra accelerators, and more importantly, they are accompanied by a startup screen that cannot be skipped. By the time you get this far, you have won, because many people fall down before turning on the computer, and it is boring to think of such a complicated process. Thanks to the quick recovery function, you can continue playing seamlessly from where you left off at any time and place, without complicated processes, not to mention the boring startup interface, and overcome the obstacle that some games cannot be archived at a specific stage. This way of improving the game experience from the player's psychology is the real innovation of the "next generation".

In addition to "quick recovery", XBOX has a series of powerful functions to enhance the experience, such as backward compatibility and frame rate improvement.

Work and pleasure are completely separated.

When most games can be run on XBOX, coupled with XGP with high cost performance and random cross-regional purchase policy, my computer is rarely turned on for entertainment, although the 1080 graphics card inside can still be used for World War I. In my opinion, although the computer can work and play, it always makes me feel that I am still in a state of not working/studying in the same space. It seems that when a game is closed, the unfinished work will jump in front of my eyes immediately, which always makes people unable to relax completely. In contrast, the host environment is purer. Even a game like Ubisoft, which is often called "canned food", can make me easily enter a state of flow, perhaps because the living room can create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

XBOX is not perfect.

If you ask me if the process of using XBOX is smooth, then the answer must be no, and the most criticized thing must be "the game has stopped installing." Just the day before I wrote this article, I encountered this problem when downloading "Evil Spirit Possession". According to my own experiments, this problem mostly appears in the process of downloading old games, and there are few such problems in the games released in the last two or three years. Generally speaking, my solution is to switch between the network cable and WiFi. If there is a problem, switch WiFi and plug in the network cable after downloading. There is no doubt that the network cable is faster and less fluctuating. The download speed is generally between 25 MB/s and 50 MB/s, which is equivalent to STEAM and EPIC.

The last sentence: buy on demand, rational consumption.
