If you love the Xbox, you owe yourself to having a retro gaming PC as well.
It really is like having a roided Xbox, better visuals, performance, audio and controls.
>>
You owe it to us to stop posting these shit threads.
>>
At least wait until your previous thread dies before continuing with these

There was still a pretty big divide between Windows and Xbox gaming during the sixth gen and into the seventh to a lesser extent. Lots of games remained Xbox exclusives or took years to get a Windows port.
>>
>>12590659
Did a YouTuber tell you that zoomaloomaloomer?
>>
>>12590662
No, I’m 42 and it’s true. You’re welcome to tell me how I’m wrong.
>>
>retro gaming PC
I just use Linux and WINE and have gotten forgotten games from 1995 running just fine
>>
>>12590663
>still hasn’t graduated highschool
>claims to be 42
I don’t think you’re capable of being “taught” anything, let alone why you’re wrong.
>>
>>12590670
In other words, you have nothing. Halo didn’t come to Windows until 2003. Halo 2 didn’t get a port until 2007.
>>
>>12590675
Because Microsoft wanted you to buy their consoles to play it lmao
>>
>>12590676
Yes?
>>
>>12590678
Has nothing to do with PC as a platform m8, your entire premise is as fake as your GED
>>
>>12590675
How is this relevant in the context of a retro PC? All the games that'll ever be released pre-2010 have already been released. I don't give a shit when things were released when we're sitting here 20 years after the fact.
>>
>>12590683
You better Venmo me money for the keyboard you just made me break.
>>
>>12590681
I didn’t say PC, I said Windows gaming, which is what most people are using to play games on their computers. Hence Microsoft purposely keeping a divide between Windows and Xbox releases back then.
>>
>>12590686
I’m not going to get lured into your circular logic “I was right all along because I never bothered to articulate myself to begin with” line of crap
>>
>>12590689
No circular logic. I chose my words here >>12590659 for a reason. Note that I specifically said Windows gaming instead of just generically referring to it as PC gaming.
>>
>>12590691
If you were alive back then, like you claim, you wouldn’t have failed the PC shibboleth. I mean, look how mad you are here:
>>12590685
I can just picture the steam coming out of your ears
>>
>>12590695
That wasn’t me.
>>
>>12590697
Ok bro lol
>>
>>12590702
If you follow the reply chain, it wouldn’t even make sense for me to say that. Why would I be mad at that post?
>>
>>12590706
I have no idea why you’re so mad, that’s why I pointed it out. You’re being unreasonable
>>
>>12590713
At any rate, nothing I’ve said is wrong. Sure it doesn’t matter anymore from a retro perspective, but back when the sixth gen/Windows XP were current, Microsoft wanted Xbox to be seen as its own separate thing with its own exclusives.
>>
>>12590718
Ok and what does that have to do with this thread
>>
>>12590723
You could build a retro Windows XP gaming PC, but it wouldn’t quite be an 'Xbox on steroids' because not every Xbox exclusive eventually got a Windows port.
>>
>>12590728
>hes never heard of emulation
>>
>>12590731
Sure, but good luck doing that on a retro PC built using early 00s specs.
>>
>>12590732
>he’s imposing conditions that were never implied now
Why do you hate this idea so much Spergbro?
>>
>>12590734
I’m just going by OP’s pic and premise. The idea of collecting vintage parts and building a PC like it’s 2002 or whatever.

Spoken like a retard zoomer who got his first gaming rig in 2013 and is not aware of how hard Consoles mogged PCs for gaming in the 6th gen.

i purchased an og xbox to play 6th gen console shit and its exclusives.
who the fuck is actually seeking out games like half life 2 and morrowind for it?
>>
>>12590634
Im that OP and this OP is a massive faggot.
>>
>>12590634
it's clearly someone butthurt over the original thread, my bet is on the ps2schizo who spams about how the ps2 is the most powerful console of its gen or something
>>
>buy used Macbook Pro
>install Windows XP
Let me guess, you """need""" more for some reason

But I don't love the Xbox
>>
>>12590629
>waste your money on literal garbage if you like the xbox
no
>>
>>12590629
I have a retro PC, love it. But it's not technically gaming. It has a small GPU.
>>
>>12590834
>how hard Consoles mogged PCs for gaming in the 6th gen.

Bullshit.
Nice cherry picking, faggit.
>>
>>12590676
Yeah, so you admit they did it then. Nobody said anything about it being fair or some shit, they just said it was the case, and you tacitly agreed with him here.
>>
>>12590734
>conditions that were never implied
You're right it was never implied. op outright said a retro gaming pc.
>>
>>12590659
>There was still a pretty big divide between Windows and Xbox
No there wasn't. Literally the entire point of the Xbox was to be a windows console
>>
>>12595027
Absolutely not. See >>12590718
>>
>>12595109
You're retarded, the Xbox never had any exclusives and it's library was 99% PC ports, you dumb fucking zoomer
>>
>>12595127
No, that’s not true at all. Halo didn’t come to PC until 2003 and Halo 2 until 2007. It was nothing like today where everything gets a release basically at the same time.
>>
>>12595449
Another example is Jade Empire. First released on Xbox in 2005 and didn’t come to Windows until two years later in 07.
>>
>>12595460
Also KOTOR. Xbox first, then ported to Windows.

I wish I never got rid of the 7 PCs I've had over the years. With age comes regret.
>>
>>12595127

Jet Set Radio Future: Xbox only
Panzer Dragoon Orta: Xbox only
Crimson Skies: HRtR: Xbox only
Otogi and Otogi II: Xbox only
Deathrow: Xbox only
