the look of the older cod games look much better imo. the grittiness, the dirtyness, the blurry but strong attention to details and color choice make the real modern warfare games look much more appealling. nowadays they all look cartoony, detail-less and clean, especially treyarch games
nothing will beat “xbox 360”. they really put themselves in a hole with that name. i’m sorry, but every xbox name after that just sounds awkward or dumb
xbox360 was a badass name but a curse as well
xbox 1, 2, 3 etc would have been so safe and good, but people would’ve confused xbox 2 as being a gen behind the ps3 so here we are
@ZYDIO As a Spiderman fan that's played almost all the games, I agree, man. I played Web of Shadows for the first time way back in 2016, which was much later after it came out, so my expectations were freaking high according to all the praise people lied about with it. When I finally got to playing it, to say that I was underwhelmed would be an understatement!
Also, it's funny that it's considered "rare", since all I had to do was go to my local gamestop to find a used copy, haha.
@TrollOfWar That’s what made games from that gen so great . games nowadays are too bloated with submenus, open world, and cutscenes; way too cinematic for my tastes these days. I miss when you could just jump back into single player games without having to relearn or remember so many nuances
@FreqMode And i sincerely don’t understand why people prefer swappable batteries. Your cellphone doesn’t have swappable battery but no one complains about that
internal rechargable batteries are convenient and saves money, it’s that simple
@Gabrie It’s PC; pc is the future and frankly amazing. All exclusives in one machine that allows you to use any controller you want plus access to console services like PSN or XBL/Gamepass with free online 👌
Xbox360 is the greatest console ever made , Microsoft had it in the bag with that amazing run. call me nostalgic , but that console literally gave me the greatest gaming experiences i’ve ever had 🤍💚🩶
@Fiendish-Beaver I fully believe that the PCbox will outsell and be more popular than the steam machine; if they go the route of making a pc box then there’s even more incentive to own an “xbox” console. Xbox doesn’t have to outsell its contemporaries, it just has to break even. We all wish that Xbox were in its heyday again like the Xbox360, but that doesn’t mean its retired either.
Can you honestly really see a world with just Nintendo & Sony around as console options ? No way; i sure can’t
@Fiendish-Beaver There will always be a reason for the Xbox console for the reason that you for-mentioned - streamlined/simplicity. That, plus if someone prefers the Xbox controller and user experience. Microsoft plays the long game instead of waiting for quick results. while it may seem like they’re fizzling out of the gaming space , they pretty much own it. And as long as they own it, they’ll never go the way of sega for example. The Xbox console is protected by MS pockets & investments.
@DonkeyFantasy I use the Xbox App just to stay connected to the Xbox ecosystem and my xbox account. like holding on to good memories before i transitioned to pc / ps5 / switch
if xbox releases a good exclusive that isn’t multiplat i’d also use the app for that obviously
@SodaPop6548 We really didn’t. The big 3 was actually still a thing and in full swing; PS2, XBOX, GameCube were all must have consoles with great games and strong identities. Granted my favorite gen is 7th, but man i miss it. Early 2000s gaming was an experience
@TheOfficialJW because the Xbox360 is the best xbox ever made. amazing games, my favorite xbox controller, the simpler UI, and because the 360 is just awesome
@Gabrie What could possibly get xbox out of the hole? the only thing i can think of is true exclusives only on xbox & they’d need several heavy hitters at that, like at least 4 blockbuster games
