@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 😂
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 couldn’t 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.
xbox just keeps on killing it with these controllers , i swear if they make a Series X that’s retrofitted as the OG xbox im bending over backwards for it !
@Zenszulu idk man , it seems like fanboying over video game machines will never completely phase out. even though it’s a very outdated mindset to still have 😕
@jesse_dylan you have a point , but imo , ain’t nothing wrong with having (many) options heh. i may not play all these games but at least they’re there if i ever do , we can’t take anything with us once we die anyway 😆
@jesse_dylan people like me that missed out on some games , and some hidden gems? then there’s games like Midnight Club LA, Fight night champion, army of two & other fun co-ops, and other games that they don’t make anymore , or games not available to play on later gens like GTA4/MGS4. couple in some original versions are better than “remasters” and reboots, so, yea. As time goes on i believe the threshold between what’s “too old and outdated” will diminish if it isn’t already , because 7th gen has aged really well and the games are really good . X1/PS4 games will still be played decades from now along with SX/PS5
Also as someone who has a PC too - PC players play across multiple gens all the time
