So, the NXE (New Xbox Experience) is online for a few days. We all had some time to play with it. There’s two things i find noteworthy:
Now that it’s out, people don’t seem to talk about it that much. Either everyone’s busy exploring it, or most people realized that it’s just a user interface and nothing to get excited about, really. Which can be a good thing … if the interface isn’t the first thing you’re going to be talking about rather than what it enables you to do, they (Microsoft) must have done something right.
Many Avatars look a lot like the gamer who created it. I find it surprising to see that i can actually tell from the Avatar who of my friends it is – not because i’ve made the connection of that particular Avatar with the Gamertag but because i recognize these people. This is weird, i kind of expected everyone to go for something weird and crazy. But since there aren’t so many options to make those crazy Avatars, why not just try to sketch yourself? I like that.
Still, i scrapped my kinda-looks-like-me Avatar after two days to see what is possible in the crazy direction. I mean, after all, i’m a little crazy (just a little … the rest of me is split equally between foolish and childish). So this “teddy bear” Avatar is what i came up with. Interestingly, the mouth i chose is labeled “angry”. I just hope there will be more costumization options soon, especially in the clothing department there isn’t much to choose from.
Hi And Welcome!
