My Honest review of the Xbox series S.

i am mighty key i think it's time to close that damn door yeah i like my doors closed around here when i talk about next-gen gaming now unless you're living under a rock you already know what this week means two gamers all over the world next gen consoles drop this week next gen gaming happens this week november comes with it a thora plethora however you want to pronounce it it comes with so many different games for the next gen console right and you can have this argument of well i can get some of these games for the old console how the hell would you do that when when you have a strictly better option why choose the lesser version are you broke ill i hate broke people but you know what let's just say you haven't gotten the new consoles on pre-order right let's say you're still on the fence let's say uh uh you you just want to know a little bit more might keep scotch we're going to check out the xbox series yesterday like actual actual analysis you know i had an unboxing and that was great but i want to get into the ui now i want to get into the specs a little bit the games i want to give you all my honest opinion of how i feel about this next gen this is not going to be the series x this is not going to be as powerful this is the the four this is the budget the budget next gen all right so that's what we're gonna be looking at today 512 gigabyte solid state drive up to 120 frames per second xbox velocity architecture high dynamic range and then you go down here you got your tech specs right that's eight core 3.6 gigahertz processor four terabytes teraflops excuse me of gpu right the xbox series x has like 12 or 13 teraflops so that should give you an idea of just how much um how much less power this is going to have um but you're also spending to 300 less getting the console so that's why i said this is more for the you know hey uh i got i got a life can't be spending all that money on games anymore or i i wanted to try next gen but i i can't i don't have the time to really invest in a big tv that's going to give me all this 4k let me just get something that's that's like really small right something like i said 440 uh p or something like that 1440p excuse me memory storage 10 gigabytes gdg ddr6 120 uh bit wide bus all right you can see you know the memory bandwidth uh i'll get into that a little later that is crazy of course we already said the ssd video capabilities 1440p this is what i was trying to get people to understand because people were trying to judge this as if this was a 4k resolution gaming it's not not true 4k it's pretty it's pretty damn nice i'll be honest 1440p is nothing to be upset about but it's not true 4k uh and we're going to get into that a little bit later when i get into that ui and whatnot and then you got your sound you know your adobe digital 5.1 got the ports we already showed that uh and this is design cool so we've got the specs out the way right so let's get into the real review and what's better to start the display with when you go to the home screen look at it look at this ui huh now in the background you see it's a bunch of little green uh the patented xbox uh spiraling line stuff but really you can kind of change that whenever you want i forgot exactly where you can go but this is where the games are as you can see i've been on a little bit of a an install spree i've been going around just finding all games and whatnot because of this one shining thing that xbox has the game pass that's it that's what that's what everybody leans on when they talk about microsoft we talk about gaming and the xbox series s and x well i don't like i said i can't speak for x but for s i will be honest this library is kind of impressive it's actually kind of dope um now uh for people who have like already had xboxes i haven't had an xbox since the 360. um and i got the red one that was like the first one i got so that was like when i want to say resident evil 5 came out so it was a little late you know i got my 360 a little late in the day um but i mean this library is actually ridiculous i'll be completely honest i haven't seen something like this before uh the xbox game pass um i decided to get it you know so i can get a good full review and i mean these are a lot of games that i've wanted to play uh that they have uh up there now i'm gonna give my good i'm gonna give my likes and dislikes about this whole system i have free reign to say what i want and how i feel i want y'all to know that this is where you go for your games and your installation and i'm sure you can see on that bottom left that storage space let's go and talk about that because good lord this thing ain't got no storage i'll be completely honest we said it earlier it's 512 gigabytes and honestly you don't even get that you get like four something in chain might even be three something to change now that's not a hit on microsoft or excuse me xbox because it usually is like that when it comes to memory right on on pc uh you don't really usually get the hard drive space it advertises right on the on the h ssd or hdd or even ram um you don't really get the the stuff on other consoles um it's usually a little bit less than what they advertise i don't know why i don't know the tech uh uh the technical reason why i'm assuming it's because they have to uh install like uh what's it called software space i don't know but i mean you know i got what eight games installed right here these aren't too crazy and i still got 80 left i mean destiny's over 100 gigabytes that hell is close to 40 i want to say um legion's close to 40. i mean you know you'll have some games up there and some people the the storage isn't really that big of a deal because some people play one to two games at a time delete those games and then just download other games if you're that type of person this 512 is perfect for you because you like like as like i said you can play you can have you know a decent amount of games already installed these are all installed by the way you can have some installed uh and be good i have uh this this i believe goes up to 1440p um but for whatever reason uh it still talks about things like 4k i didn't really understand that because when you go to this right i'm on a monitor right now so this is i'm on like a computer monitor so i'm not going to have the uh what it's looking for in terms of tv the tv's out in my living room but basically when you click on this depending upon whatever uh monitor or tv you have these you're gonna want all these to show up green you're gonna want all of these to show up green uh uh like i said on this monitor it's not because this is a little bit of old one um but this isn't like uh it's cool that they have something like that that kind of gives you details on what your monitor is and is not capable of uh and how that's gonna impact how you you view the game um like i said i do not have an xbox series x but i'm assuming it's the exact same and then here's resolutions uh just because of my display display it says 1080 and 720p but on the one you would want to play this with it's going to also save 4k up there uh and then i believe it'll also have 1440p uh as your resolution so that's something you'll be happy you'll be happy about that this background you can change i just haven't changed it myself um but basically you can go to your settings and then you personalization and then you have your own color background uh theme and motion you can you can you can play around with it a lot it's actually well i don't want to schedule anything actually smooth transitions or why wouldn't you have that on smooth oh it's still green did i not do it right what if i hit okay oh okay there we go so now you see it's all like blue although all the lines are blue ah all right so the background is also blue that's interesting all right so we'll start it up this is uh gears tactics so i'll hit continue and let's see how long it takes to get uh from point a to point b oh we're in the game [Music] characters damn characters that was not long at all awesome i guess you could consider this a negative is again the the memory now again it's hard for me to to really nitpick this one because this is the cheaper option right this isn't the fully visioned next-gen console this is the budget console this is the you know what i'm saying i got bills to pay console um so it's hard for me to really knock this because even though it's it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the the series x this is also cheaper so it's hard but i will say i think it could use more than 512 gigabytes uh as i said previously though if you're those type of people who are just like i play one two games at a time delete them and just install new ones then you're good you ain't got nothing to worry about but for other people who are just like hey you know like i kind of wish i i had a little bit more room um yeah you i mean you know uh it's 5 12 you're really getting like maybe 400 gigabytes uh to work with when you start this game up uh and games these new gen games are starting to be like 50 gigabytes and above you do the math you're not gonna have too many at a time uh on here but luckily there is a as i showed earlier a storage and extra storage syst space on the back of the series s and as far as i know you can just boot up the games from that so maybe that issue could be alleviated one thing i didn't mention earlier i wanted to point this out was that this thing it doesn't make a noise like it doesn't and it's kind of crazy i don't hear anything from it um and while i'm playing i'm a good you know five six feet away from it uh and i i don't hear anything ever no fans blowing no nothing i'm assuming if you go really close to it you'll hear you'll start to hear stuff um it does never feel like it overheats i mean it hasn't bricked i i know xbox used to be uh the what is that that red ring of death or something like that i remember they used to be pretty notice um infamous about that but i have not had any issues with this thing at all um so as a guy coming back to xbox after being gone for some for so many years i i appreciate that i do but overall bro i'll be honest it's for the affordable gamer that's it if you are a person who's like i'm trying to figure out what next gen's all about i need the top of the top do not get this because you're not you're going to be very upset because it's not going to have that real real real 4k that you're looking for and it's not going to be like it's fast though it definitely feels like it's almost as fast as the x which is odd um graphically though it is not next-gen next-gen this is like that in between right this is that transition this is that trial you know you maybe you're not a gamer that needs the full effects of um that h this has hdr on it but like maybe you don't need the full full effects of the 4k that x has but this is still very good this is definitely better than an xbox uh 1s you know the previous stuff this is next-gen but it ain't next-gen next-gen like the x is uh but yeah i like it i enjoy it i enjoy it um you know and i'm just really happy this week is going to be amazing we're going to be getting a lot of games guys i hope you guys enjoyed this little review i have i got some other stuff coming up in terms of you know games we got so much coming out like so many so many different games are coming up from so many different consoles um on gen demon souls everything's coming up so guys you know uh stay tuned it's gonna be a fun week or that's just crazy
