>dooms the video gaming industry
dooms it to some of the best versions of multiplats that gen along with dooming you to putting your own playlist in games via the hdd, also the sheer kino of modding one of them with a fuckload of emulators much?
>>12503917>doom 3's the xbox
>>12503917Also introduces paid DLC and patches
It saved the industry from Japanese slop. Praise Microsoft and praise Xbox for putting testosterone into console gaming.
>>12503958>didn't turn a profit>isn't profitable today either
>>12503956wrong
>>12503961>but muh profit!Who gives a shit you soulless pajeet. It had an enormous cultural impact. The 2000s as a whole decade was marked by dark edgy and masculine non faggot games thanks to the Xbox.
>>12503963>>12503973In every single console generation from at least the third gen up to even today, the best selling console was Japanese. Cry about it.>muh cultural impact>IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE XBOXNo, it was because gaming reflects what was popular in that era and there were plenty of dark and edgy Japanese games that predated the Xbox.
>>1250397>it was because of the xbox Lmao playstation was the epitome of dark and edgy at the time in comparison to nintendies childrens games, xbox just did its part
>>12504010Then why was Manhunt 1 a Gamecube exclusive?
>>12504391Rockstar fucked up and accidently ordered Gamecube discs instead of PS2 and just rolled with it
I'd argue God of War did more to damage modern gaming than the OG Xbox. But Xbox360 and CoD4 really drove the stake in.
>>12503958I don't think doritos and mt dew give you testosterone
>>12503956FF 11
>>12503912What actually doomed the vidya industry into its modern form was the Great Financial CrisisVideo games pre-GFC were obscenely profitable. There were entire companies dedicated to pushing out absolute garbage because anything on a PlayStation 2 or a Wii disc would sell. Phoenix Games published nearly a hundred titles on the PS2 in under half a decade, and Ubisoft financed their entire 7th gen development off of Wii shovelware for literal babies. Even AAA publishers like EA were taking major risks with new IPs.But then companies became more and more risk-averse following the economic collapse, and alongside ballooning budgets this meant that games could no longer be considered a success with just a few million copies sold. You're either at the top of the sales charts, or you're not in the race.Eventually this seeking of profit maximization would lead to the current situation where companies are burning hundreds of millions making live-service trash that nobody wants or plays, in the hopes that they'll strike gold one day and it'll all be worth it.The original Xbox is but a footnote in the quickly closing history of video games.
>blooms the video gaming industry
>>12504651Didn't introduce it
>>12504771imo it was more of a sqooning. Gamecube sqooned the games industry.
>>12503912Microsoft ruined the industry by introducing achievements, shifting rewards gained while playing from an intrinsic narrative based one to an extrinsic series of numbers. In the 90s I didn't need this bullshit to motivate me to want to play a game in my own way and having a value attached to it by the publisher makes me feel like my experience isn't unique at all.
>>12504971Retro achievements is the best thing to happen to retro gaming. Stop acting like a FUCKING boomer.
>>12503912It was based.
>>12503956>Also introduces paid DLCSo clearly ahead of it's time.You know what? Why don't you stop yapping and go back to spending money on Asian gacha games, king.
>>12503912I hate fps and sports games so totally agree. It made console gaming just PC gaming lite.
The xbox brand gives me an uneasy feeling. Yes games like halo CE were fun to me on first play but I find something unnnerving about the philosophy around games released when xbox was big. I don't like the grimdark games xbox brought about. Yeah I still remember being impressed when the OG xbox was a thing in stores but 90s games feel more comfy to me. Japanese are on to something about xbox being deathbox.
>>12503958well, that didn't last
>>12505003Yeah fuck me for trying to engage with a media product in my own way, gaming is obviously better going down a checklist telling me how to play it properly for e penis scores or trophies to display on my gamer profile.
>>12505296correct
>>12503973>calls others "pajeets" while Microsoft is the one that has been using jeet labor since the 90s.Xbox is the only indian powered console... this explains a lot about its generic and faulty nature.
>>12503912no cutesy japanese games with furry characters or anime girls, just a bunch of dudebro space marine shooters and poorly aged gta clones...This system is so transphobic and boring :\
>video gaming industrys the doom
