@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
@Cikajovazmaj hahaha , but that ain’t fair to this game . concord had other motives while this was just simply trying to cash in on generic live service shooters 😂
