@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 š . & i wouldnāt know about the n64 predecessors since thatās before my time. from what i hear , it seems that gamecube has better sequels of its predecessors anyway ...except maybe goldeneyeā¦and mario sunshineā¦
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 , itās 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 ātryhardā imo . it was cool in the early 2000ās 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 aināt it for me .
Gears of war 2 box art is badass (the one where marcus isnāt 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 š 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 itāll 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 wasnāt enough incentives these days to have a PC already
i canāt get into it, couldnāt get into 4 either . gears of war 2 is peak gears of war , and we aināt never getting something like that back again
@Cikajovazmaj hahaha , but that aināt fair to this game . concord had other motives while this was just simply trying to cash in on generic live service shooters š
this upsets me because i wish nintendo would port their games over instead. if any brand needs to share its nintendo , they have us captive to their crap hardware and software
ODST is overrated, played it for the first time 2 years ago in the MCC & was bored as hell. i really tried to at least beat the game, but couldnāt finish it. the game is also aesthetically the ugliest halo game (ok maybe halo 5 is uglier but still) . The only thing it does good is the narration, but even the story moves so slow.
i dont think ive ever seen a game that was a true remaster. they always change something. this is a dope remake trilogy, the only personal issue i had was that they made everything brighter instead of keeping the dark areas like the originals.

Re: Talking Point: Xbox & Nintendo Switch Owners, How Do You Split Your Third-Party Purchases?
@Banjo- ah yeah i forgot about waverace! i feel like im missing more , its been awhile & im just not a mario/zelda person. pokĆ©mon was fun for a while but i grew away from it. and are you talking about that snowboarding game on the gamecube ? iām not familiar with it .
Re: Talking Point: Xbox & Nintendo Switch Owners, How Do You Split Your Third-Party Purchases?
