@Ilyn right , but i was thinking more of it being as a middle ground for people that were new to PC or still wanted a more console oriented experience . think of like a PC-lite i guess, & maybe with the ability to add new custom graphic cards that M$ could make or have made by other companies, like how the ps3 had a custom nvidia graphics card

@Ramouz even the original wii has more features with all the apps/channels & the cool mods you could do to it. plus the original wii was backwards compatible & you could also play every era of nintendo on it at the time + free online & various controllers to play with it like the GC , classic, wii mote, or wii mote & nunchuk , and pro controller

@Banjo- yup i remember it all! that generation was a big part of my life growing up & you're right about nintendo being restrictive now. the switch is so barren compared to how much the wii/u had. plus no backwards compatibility.

but its nintendo - they get a pass with everything & can do no wrong. they could regress back to the 90s(theyre pretty close anyway LOL) and people wouldnt care.

@smoreon id say the upper management hurt it most. the potential of 06 is what makes me like the game so much . you can tell it was supposed to be this big grand adventure with all characters playable & present throughout sonic , shadow , & silvers story . it’s why i love the adventure games so much , because all the characters are present , involved, & playable. I miss when sonic team was ambitious and really wanted to innovate the franchise instead of playing it safe like with the awfully boring & stale frontiers, the remaster of generations, and that lazy ass forces game. Sonic generations (2011) was the last good sonic game imo , and that game just consisted of throwbacks to a better time of sonic. you can argue that the new shadow content is some light at the end of the tunnel but eh…it’s still s***y boost gameplay that the franchise has been stuck with for over a decade now. it was great at first , but now it’s bland

@Dalamar73 “ I've actually enjoyed many of the remakes and remasters of past AAA titles that have surfaced over many newer titles.”

  • I’m sure that’s not a coincidence , haha 😂 & Ghost and Elden ring aren’t my type of games , albeit i never played them but i just don’t i’d vibe with those souls type games. i’m more into hack n slash games of that genre like the classic god of war games & Metal gear revengeance, or the classic assassin creed games

also indies came a long way , kinda crazy that they’re still considered indies . wouldn’t they be called AA now ? like astrobot for example.

@Dalamar73 i wish the industry would go back to making “smaller” AAA games. reduce the emphasis on cinematic crap & graphics and utilize the power of modern consoles elsewhere like amazing gameplay, physics , level design , etc . i’m perfectly fine with 12-20 hour games , or however long they used to be. i actually hate when games dont know when to end and/or take too long to get going . i think it’s better to have SEVERAL 12-20 hour games to play vs that one AAA 40+ hour game every 6 years .

@K1LLEGAL the 360 is slow now because microsoft kept trying to push modern updates on it that squeezed out every bit of its cpu that it could offer id presume. just like how (older)iphones get slower overtime as apps get more modern updates and new iOS updates

i bet if there was a way to reverse updates on it back to the blades or NXE dashboard it would be fast again . i’ve hated the dashboard ever since the kinect came out ; the pre-2010 dashboard was much better

i recently went back to it because of how mediocre this generation is. call me weird but i love the feel of the 360 controller & love the design more. it’s why i bought the hyperkin xbox360 controller to use on modern hardware.

it’s an amazing console that was a huge part of everyones lives gaming, and offered so much whether it be games or just endless entertainment . 7th generation as a whole (ps3/360/wii) is the best console generation imo & that’s not just nostalgia talking . imagine a console generation that struck the sweet spot between what made 6th generation great and took a bit from 8th generation - that’s pretty much 7th gen. whereas 8th generation leaned more towards the crap state of gaming now
