It was so god damn Kino. Zoomers missed out.
I had a grudge against the OG Xbox because I had a GameCube in that generation.Even now I don't consider it as versatile as its competition but it does have some of the better ports of its generation and is the most soft-moddable out the gate (since you need an HDD adapter to really make a PS2 softmod work well).
>>721362243Games on the og xbox look better than Nintendo games today
>>721361820Too bad not a lot of people will get to experience it now or in the future.
>>721361820I'm a zoomer and owned one thoughbeit, you are just coping because you're old now and have nothing to show for it
>>721363018Even GameCube games look better than Nintendo games today.It truly died with Iwata.
mine still works (not the disc drive) but its been modded for 20 years so who cares
xbox is big!
>>721363137I opened mine up and pulled that off with plyers, am I safe now?
>>721361820>>721363256zoomer boomer poomer loomer yoomer goomer voomer coomer woomer sooomer doomer moomer Shut the fuck up
>>721363754better pull some of the other shit off just to be safe
>>721363754Now leak the powder underneath it.
>>721363830Anyone who gets mad feels called out.Ever.In the history of time.Be better instead of getting mad at other people for identifying problems in our society that you see yourself in.
>>721363754Yeah its only that specific capacitor
>>721361820The Xbox big memes were pretty funny
>>721364784I always thought it was a meme, but recently I was buying a Saturn and the seller threw in an untested Xbox for free. It is fucking HUGE. It's half the size of my tower.
>>721361820best version of SH2
I killed an Xbox trying to fix a different capacitor issue because I soldered in a capacitor backwards.
how to fix: console wont turn on anymoreis it just the power supply?cant i just use an old PC powersupply?
>>721365163Huge, heavy, and Nokia-tier sturdy. As consoles should be.
>>721365163the xbox is such a fat bastard honestly it's hard to find a place for it to live xbox should start paying me rent
>>721361820I never met a person that had an og xbox, or even a gamecube here in the eu
>>721365784I think the plastic they used is sort of brittle with age.
>>721361820>zoomers missed out>posts a zoomer consolewhy are millennials so retarded?
>>721361820Ngl this is a better game library than anything on the Switch 1&2.
>>721366002Kids generally start getting into video games around age 5-7. If you were that age when the Xbox came out you'd have been born at latest 1996. That's still reasonably mature now (those people are almost 30).
>>721366189zoomers start at 97generations don't switch over night, most early zoomers experienced the og xbox/ps2 from their parents and older brothers
>>721366296Anyone born after 95 is worthless
>>721361820>Irreparably damaged the gaming market It was shit.
>>721361820Back when a $250 console provided the graphics of a $1000 gaming PC. My 1st experience of Doom 3 and Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay was on the Xbox.
>>721367964But enough about the Wii
>>721367568I bet you’ve accomplished literally nothing in your life, so something as mundane as being a 30 year old millennial feels like a massive achievement to you.
>>721361820>oldest zoomers start at 1997>xbox hueg released in 2001>so it's possible that zoomers were playing on them in 2002 when they were 5What now, retard?
>>721369509I was born in 2002 and played quite a lot of PS2 games.
>>721369984And that's normal, the PS2 was still played by little kids in the mid 2000s because it was accessible and even cheaper than before.I don't know why millennials purposely spout retarded shit and act surprised when they find out they're wrong.
>>721369385I've accomplished stuff, I'm just not happy with it and have regrets...
>>721367568shut up senile troon unc, nobody gives a shit about what a balding retard has to sayneck yourself
>>721361820zoomers can't even lift an og xbox
>>721370150
>>721364218>ruin the site with your cancerous bullshit >get this offended when called out for it
>>721361820I'm a zoomer and I had one. You know lads in their mid to late twenties are zoomies right?
>>721369385You're a zoomer
>>721363830Kys trooner
>>721372774whats that? i couldn't hear you over the weird gushy sounds of your 30 year old transbian axe wound
>>721371924You missed the hype and important parts
>>721373087What hype? I played halo and halo 2.
>>721373087>gets proven wrong>THAT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE (arbitrary reason) Why are millennials so fucking retarded? They were too young to be the generation that ate lead paint chips growing up, so they can't be it. Was it the 90s wiggers who introduced proto-nigger worship? Was it getting groomed by pedophiles on AOL chatrooms? What the fuck was it that made you guys so braindead?
>>721373403On release? Do you know what hype means?
>>721361820Zoomers are like, 30 now. They played the Xbox.
>>721373792they weren't 21 and had a job and a car and a wife when they played it so it doesn't counti am trans btw
Zoomers, Boomers, Millennials...all ate very well
>>721374186Dreamcast was a good console. Don't know why it did so poorly.
>>721374281no copy protection
>>721374281Everybody knew the PS2 was coming out soon and decided to just wait for it
>>721373403Exactly you don't know any other games >>721373450Kys zoomer
ps2 is better and everyone knows it
>>721375043It was cheap dog shit with low specs. It was a slop machine.
>>721375023>no argumentYeah that's a millennial getting buck broken yet again i'd reckon Overdose on adderall and die you fucking retard.
>>721371686Quite possibly the stupidest post I've ever seen on this site.
>>721363137How did no one sued microshit for this crap
>>721374281No fifa
>>721363137The fact that they had orange ligh and red light to tell you if your xbox was good was a fucking redflag.Xbox360 even told you what was wrong with it with the ring. This was deliberately done knowing certain parts were rigged to fail.
This might be the ugliest gamepad ever made.
>>721365163>Microshit in charge of design
>>721362243It's the best console of the 3 today easily. HDD loading games, all the other amazing features it has. Gamecube second, Ps2 dead last. I have all 3 set up fully modded to play whatever but use the xbox much more than the rest. the controller is solid and durable still feels great. pretty much all games that are mutliplat are best on xbox. Load the fastest and look the best. gamecube has it's exclusives, but most of the best of the best games in that gen are or were multiplats.
>>721376002it goes orange when you have no video cables hooked up to it as well, it was just some visual trouble shooting. All consoles after it pretty well have that feature, reason?because there is a harddrive. and harddrives fail.
>>721361820Man, this was a really good first console for Microsoft. I don't know how they fucked up so bad later
>>721374281Because it's not a true next-gen consoleDreamcast was a fun gimmick to get while waiting for the arrival of the next playstation.
>>721365163What you did expect from a soulless PC (disguised as a console)?In essence, the original Xbox is nothing more than a PC, but with a custom horizontal case. Reason why it's big.PSX (Japan only) is still biggest and heaviest tho.
>>721361820>hah yes the first Xbox. i shall play...>shooter game>shooter game>shooter game>basketball game>racing game>racing game>racing game>football game>football game>football game (with your foot)>golf game>marvel sloppa>marvel sloppa>fuuuAAAACCCK those were the days, duude
Halo is all you needed to play the rest are inconsequential
>>721379646It was 128-bit. To say it wasn't a true next-gen console is to say that neither were the PS2, GCN, and Xbox.
>>721380710And I shall play:Panzer Dragoon OrtaPhantom DustOtogi: Myth of DemonsOtogi 2: Immortal WarriorsSteel BattalionJet Set Radio FutureBest versions of Fatal Frame 1 and 2Best version of Silent Hill 2
>>721361820Little to no reason to emulate OG XBOX outside JSRF and maybe the Conker remake.
>>721380968This is your brain on atari jaguar.
>>721381238Jaguar was 5th-gen. It was just a fucking failure.At least Dreamcast got new retail releases until 2007 (the last game being Triggerheart Exelica), not even counting the many indie games made since then.
>>721381559jaguar is a 4.5 gen consoledreamcast 5.5
>>721363137>tfw this happened to my Xbox when I was in the middle of a Pac Man World 2 playthrough
>>721361820>xboxanon you are the zoomers
No one would care about this shit console if it wasn't for Halo.
>>721375101>muh specsthe only argument xboxfags ever try to have, fucking hilarious
>>721361820I like the original Xbox, I just beat Hit and Run on mine, but man, the hardware is fucking DOGSHIT>ancient IDE hard drives that need to be swapped out (this requires either softmodding the console, or opening it up and using an eeprom reader or installing a modchip because each hard drive is locked to the motherboard)>dog shit disc disc drives (i have two Xboxes, neither can read discs, and somehow, one of them has a disc drive broken to the point it can't even get to the dashboard and gives me an error code, so i now need a modchip or a new disc drive for it)>capacitors that blow up and ruin the motherboardI noticed that games people speedrun on on the original Xbox (JSRF, Crash Twistanity, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, SpongeBob Battle For Bikini Bottom, etc) all allow the games to be played from the internal hard drive instead of the discs because the dvd drives are so dogshit lmao

>>721378126GameCube is moot due to Nintendont on the Wii/Wii U. That's a better way to go if you want to just stay on the softmod side, since you need things like ODEs and Swiss to do anything on the GC itself, while also limiting yourself to just that console.
>>721374281No games.t. still owns his childhood dreamcast
>>721381121Pretty much best versions of all console exclusive multiplats during that gen. And in most games the differences were significant against PS2 and GC, i.e. 60 fps vs. 30 fps, noticeably better looking textures all around, and less aliasing.The multiplats alone were already enough reason to own an OG Xbox>>721380968The Dreamcast was never 128-bit. It is 64-bit.The PS2 is pretty much the only 128-bit console ever made. Gamecube and Dreamcast are 64-bit, OG Xbox is 32-bit. 6th generation proved that "bit wars" are a brainlet meme.
>>721365163>i cant believe this computer is almost the size of my computer
>>721361820>you will never get to hook 4 xboxes up and play 16 person Halo with your friends againFeels bad man
tfw no proper xbox emulator with retroachievement support yet
>>721361820Yeah, it was. Kind of want to buy one from my local used vidya store since the 360 and Xbone have such shitty backwards compatibility with it.
>>721391804she fucks human men, surely
>>721392569It's a nice console, but they absolutely need some TLC if you do buy one. First thing you should do is check your motherboard revision for the bad capacitor, softmod it, and swap out the hard drive.
>>721381121If it wasn’t for Sega I would have likely never bought an OG Xbox
>>721361820I miss it bros..
ok unc
>>721374281Couldn't compete with the PS2 in specs and Sega was bleeding cash like crazy
No one ever actually owned an Xbox.
>>721396942I knew more people with an Xbox than Gamecube or Dreamcast.
>>721361820Played a lot of halo 2 on it, I wish still had mine because xbox emulation is still shit.
>>721376002Thank god you don't work in the tech sector
>>721396942>>721397015I owned all three. Not even a rich kid.
>>721396942I owned one because the shill at the store convinced my mom it's better than the PS2 I wanted
>>721401075This thread was about to die , why the fuck did you bump it
>>721396942this nigga never played halo 2 on the LAN LMAOit felt good being the one kid with the downloadable map packs
I was playing too many Half Life, Unreal and C&C Generals custom maps to give a shit.Xbox was just a locked down PC for retarded Amerifaggots.Everyone with taste bought a Dreamcast or a PS2.
>>721363018Glad it could pass such a low bar.
>>721401147Because I'm interested in this topic. I came around on the Xbox eventually, it was a good console with good games of it's own.
It was cool in the sense that it basically became the dreamcast 2 when sega died and it got shit like shenmue ii, panzer dragoon orta and JSRF
>>721361820What do you mean? The Xbox is a Zoomer console. Released right around the time they would be grown enough to start playing video games.
