Massively underrated console. What are your favourite games and memories with it? Besides Halo I mean. Did you read Official Xbox Magazine?

You mean several years after gaming stopped being retro and the 360 was in its midlife?

I think tons of (timed-) exclusive Xbox games were ported at some point.
Its library is actually really stacked if the games had not been ported elsewhere.
Halo 1 & 2
Ninja Gaiden Black
Dead or Alive 3 & Ultimate
Splinter Cell series
Forza Motorsport
Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Jet Set Radio Future
Sega GT 2002
Outrun 2
KOTOR 1 & 2
Jade Empire

I would add to the list pic related.
The first time I saw an Xbox was at a friend's house and he was playing this game and I was hooked from the Xbox but I bought it like 2 years later. While this game only like in 2010 at a closing block buster for 3€, I loved the game and style of rta mixed with third person RPG, sometimes the missions and the mechanics were hard to understand at first but after you get the game you really fell like a war commander leading your men.

I bought mine in 2006 with a DuoX2 and 80gb hdd when I was ~15y and video rental stores where a thing. I remember the fee for a weekend was around 5€ and I chose the games based on the cover and the back cover and spent ages browsing through the shelves. Love the CoinOps emu and never had any major issues with this nearly 20 year old console.

Sort of yeah. Once the servers died and people just stopped playing Halo there was no reason to own an Xbox. Online Halo was it. In the modern day it's inexpensive to play games like Doom 3 and Half Life 2 on PC at max settings. Not sure what else there is worth playing on Xbox.

I beat sunshine, wind waker, metroid prime and both pikmins (all were really good. no clue why people bitch on and on about sunshine and WW, they were really fun). what should I play next?

The "2001 hardware" argument for PC games is one I've never been a fan of. However, I've also never been a fan of all 2007 PC game posting that happens here. For PC games they should really draw the line at 2005, maybe even 2004.

Nothing has changed!
Same shit like it was on release!

Played the BFG edition and the only thing they FIXED was the memed to death retarded flashlight/weapon swapping.

The entire game is retarded.

And the base is one brown ugly blob with no markers or anything sometimes you walk back only to realize there was a difficult to see ladder or some retarded switch on a screen that looks identical to the nonsense screens all over the place.

I didn't like it because the guns felt weak and the enemies didn't react to them, the structure was repetitive and tiring (literal monster closets aren't scary AND the demons can literally teleport so why are they waiting behind walls), and the visuals in a lot of areas were pretty dull. It also feels like that surf Dracula meme where you only go to hell for like 3 seconds right at the end.
>>
>>12008981
>and the enemies didn't react to them
The enemies react to your attacks, some more or less than others.

>>
>>12008540
No, he admitted that the slur was not an appropriate choice and replaced it in a patch revision. People here try to spin the situation as a free speech issue, when the author admitted that he was no aware that the word was really offensive to some people and agreed to change it.

Only version I'd had any luck running at an acceptable framerate has been the latest GoG one and even then it's not smooth. There was a mobile port briefly that ran full 60fps that was supposed to be really good but has since disappeared. I hate being that precious but I'm just used to 60fps now. Anyway, I'd appreciate updates on how anyone gets on.
>>
>>12008340 Carmageddon 1?
I suppose there might be ways to run the Android port with great perfomance in a VM? I'm not up to date on this, but programs like Bluestacks.
I use the Meld Pack but I don't check the framerate really. Just had a look and the internal counter shows it around 60 while in FWVGA mode (845*480) but I don't know how reliable that is.

Ok, interesting - last time i used this is was a load of crap with missing sky and the level select completely buggered but this is great. Thank you!

I forgot to mention Dethrace. YMMV but if it works properly on your system, framerate should be high https://github.com/dethrace-labs/dethrace

Yes, I saw this the other week but wasn't fo rme. No, this Meld Pack thing is amazing - I've stuck reshade on it with gay-ass scanlines and obnoxious bloom and I'm having a jolly nice time. Thanks anon, you've made my day!

Is it just me or is this game kind of overrated?

>>
>Not a single soul mentioning vehicle combat or the heavy focus on physics
This is literally the most defining feature that sets it apart from PC shooters. The whole reason you're slow as fuck and have two weapons is to make the vehicles a meaningful resource. BTB is the primary way people are supposed to play Halo. Swat, Ranked and arena style maps are just a fun distraction.

>>12003765
Yes Metroid Prime is great for exploration. Also there is a lot of lore and world building thanks to the scanning mechanic.

It's not a Halo thread without the Gaylo schizo.

probably my fav FF aside tactics. You can cheese it early or brute it or grind etc.. but it's just a great game and the story is perfect, you really feel these people bond for a save the world adventure.

It's got a few hard parts but it's just good. Actually while tactics is one of my favs too I wish they had the bonus master like 5 did.

Yep, early on in Steam's existence, several DOS games straight-up didn't work, because they were sold as is.
Amusingly, for several years, compatibility-fixed retro titles on Steam used screenshots from the GOG versions (one of the chars was named GOGGAMES or similar).
