Why was the 2013 xbox one memoryholled so hard?
>>736590757Cause it was so shit.
>>736590757It said the quiet part out loud and advertised itself as a DRM box for TV-watching casual normalfags, because that was the audience for all consoles after 2000.
>>736590757most of the games for it were bad. the only ones i remember enjoying were forza horizon 4 and that recore game.
>>736591719Titanfall could have been a system seller if they didn't release it same day on PC and fucking 360 for whatever reason.
>>736591719It's a shame because the One is the best controller MS ever made.
>>736590757>900pFiltered gamers a bit too hard. Literally everything was either 720p or 900p on the XB1 when it was 1080p or 900p on PS5, and it had no exclusives. Backwards compatibility was its biggest win, but it came too late, and didn't suddenly make Xbox amazing. The One X changed the impression a bit, but too much of the potential audience had already gotten used to Xbox being the loser brand by then. A shame, cuz I bought Series X and only later a PS5, and I gotta say, the Series X is fucking awesome with its BC compatibility enhancing anything from previous consoles. You get the best XB1/PS4 ports thanks to the tendency for XB1X titles being mostly 1800p or native 4K with PS4 Pro only capping at 1620p most of the time, and XSX doesn't run in "Legacy Hardware Mode" when playing older games, so all XB1 games get the full power of the console. Playing anything last-gen on PS5 usually results in new glitches and zero improvement in frame-rate. But on the Series X you can dive into anything from before this gen (and this gen is the worst anyway) and get the best ports available.Sure, sometimes PS4Pro/XSX games ran with worse draw distance and shaders, but I'll take optimized console games with zero compilation stutter over playing games on my RTX 4070 Ti only to get bottlenecked by horrid PC ports and so much stuttering.Y'all who didn't buy Series X are missing out.
>>736592224>muh pc and crossgenshut your retarded mouth muttTitanfall would've died an obscure game if it stayed on Xbox. No one is fucking buying a $500 box on top of a subscription to play a multiplayer shooter
>>736590757Spam. It's the best 8th gen console.Specs were crap, but you couldn't tell in games.Games looked better on it thanks to 12 bit colour.And it made back compat games work better. Suddenly Splinter Cell: Double Agent almost became a good game.Controller is a downgrade though. Clicky shoulder buttons suck. They're like mouse buttons.
>>736593062>And it made back compat games work better. Suddenly Splinter Cell: Double Agent almost became a good game.op was talking about 2013 xbox one
I don't know if Sony does it but the Xbox's install system means if you have a net connection you can continue the install if your disc is scratched.If rental stores still existed this would ensure everything worked regardless how careless people were with discs.Everything is digital now though, and should be, so you can use remote play to play games anywhere on your phone.
Backwards compatibility alone makes it a worthwhile piece of hardware.
>>736590757It was really fucking awful.
>>736593112Yeah back then $100 more for 30% less tflops was silly. If it did back compat with everything a lot of people would have gotten one though. For cheap games. I got my second 360 in 2015.MS should have made a portable 360. Basically the Switch. But with all the 360's games.I wouldn't have cared if it only did games in 480i or less. Especially if they performed better.Always online was too early then. Especially when everyone was broke.Portable 360. Keep the 360 going. Enforce a lower resolution.
>>736590757Look up Xbox One nostalgia edits and you'll see why, It's all multiplats lol, no one is nostalgic for Halo or Gears 5.
