@ParsnipHero Thats actually possible. PC has controller support for virtually all controllers, just plug an HDMI to your PC from your TV, and open steam in big picture mode. big picture mode lets you navigate steam entirely with a controller.
@stinkyx a gears of war in space with a dead space aesthetic would be sick ! the one thing i want most from gears is for them to go back to the old look
@Banjo- Theyre too focused on Gamepass and Activision. Tbf i would’ve accidentally looked over smaller studios as well if i acquired basically the largest most popular one in all of gaming. Microsoft basically bought the industry 😂
@Bleacdemon hot take but black ops 4 has the best call of duty gameplay & should have had better recognition for it. It’s peak COD gameplay/gunplay wise , the movement/shooting etc is all excellent . people really sleep on it , it’s crazy
@Banjo- Galaxy for me! But i’m glad you enjoyed mario sunshine & it’s really great to see other people who love the cube. i almost agree that it was nintendo’s last great console , but dammit id be lying if i said that the wii didn’t bring me tons of joy & entertainment too
@Dm9982 hell yeah man , you got great tastes with games ! bmxxx , blitz the league , backyard wrestling, nba ballers & nfl street - that generation was peak 2000s & over the top 😂 . love all those games
@Dm9982 Yea i heard the zelda game (windwaker) was mid too. i can see the first party output of it being hit or miss, but shout out to you for mentioning def jam though!
@Banjo- did you have the wave bird controller to go with your wave race copy? everyone knows the true wave race experience is 4 player wavebirds 😆 . & i wouldn’t know about the n64 predecessors since that’s before my time. from what i hear , it seems that gamecube has better sequels of its predecessors anyway ...except maybe goldeneye…and mario sunshine…
@Banjo- ah yeah i forgot about waverace! i feel like im missing more , its been awhile & im just not a mario/zelda person. pokémon was fun for a while but i grew away from it. and are you talking about that snowboarding game on the gamecube ? i’m not familiar with it .
i hope they go back to the linear/sandbox run & gun for the next halo campaign with varying levels again. open world needs to go , it’s a plague and stale
internet on console is one of the best things ever . you literally have a browser on the big screen and can navigate with a controller from your bed or couch .
@Gkobz it just looks too “tryhard” imo . it was cool in the early 2000’s but looking at it now , i get shadow the hedgehog vibes ( another box art i used to like) . its weird because i actually like edgy things for lack of better word , but halo 2 box art just ain’t it for me .
Gears of war 2 box art is badass (the one where marcus isn’t looking at you)
Halo 2 unfortunately is too edgy , halo 3 pretty boring , CE was ok..reach is generic
Forza Horizon 4 is pretty
perfect dark zero is sexy & badass
id have to go with gears 2 and Perfect dark zero as the best xbox exclusive box art covers
non exclusive is Assasins Creed 3. i remember the launch commercial and at the time i never seen AC be so brutal before , i love it .
@HonestHick hell yeah , those weekend nights on gears 2 running the campaign on insane with some friends for achievements & playing horde when we were frustrated with multiplayer 😂 man it was so fun . no beers though , at least not on my end , hahaha.
& i agree about the tv crap with the xbox one . i have no idea what the hell it had to do with the console or gaming . why would they try and market a hardcore game console as a cable box??
@HonestHick the online experience xbox360 brought to consoles is absolutely unmatched. i adore the 360 so much and it’ll always be a staple of better times in gaming..and the world!
@101Force yeah , if console upgrades are truly a thing now then that just makes PC all the more a reasonable choice. as if it wasn’t enough incentives these days to have a PC already
