--- Quote from: sworddude on July 21, 2020, 06:20:23 am --- Multiplayer on xbox was pretty much only good for shooters and racing games, name me games that are simular to mario party smash bros or some karting game etc. it pales in terms of multiplayer unless you really like certain genre's in wich you could just go to ps2 instead if where talking consoles with lesser multiplayer options. you probably have a better shot at interesting non shooter racing games on ps2. --- End quote --- I'm talking specifically about online multiplayer. If you wanted to play online that generation, Xbox was the console to get. The Playstation and Gamecube's online capabilities were horribly limited in comparison. Also, while the system didn't have much for JRPGs (Which is because Japan hates the Xbox line, so most Japanese developers stayed away unless it was an easy port. Microsoft tried to fix that with the 360 getting exclusive games like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, but the hate persisted), it still had quite a few solid western ones like KOTOR or Morrowind. |

Final Fantasy XI was also huge on PS2 back in the day |

The things that mainly increase in price are rpg's survival horror, some of the best action platformers or mascot games. Xbox doesn't really have any of those or budget qaulity ones. And while it does have some like call of cthulu, it's price is pretty much the same since people rather pick a ps2 or ps1 instead with a way better library in that department in wich tons of games are far better aswell. instead of getting an xbox for just 1 or 2 games. |

I understand there's more nostalgia behind PS2 since there were more PS2 users. But still, I find it odd that the original Xbox isn't going up any. With multiplatform titles, Xbox versions are usually the best versions to get. They usually perform the best and have the best graphics, so that's the version you usually want. Plus a number of titles are backwards compatible on both XBox 360 and XBox One. |

Like seriously in terms of actual rpg's you have stuff like black stone magic steel wich is pretty average. Compared to ps2 with it's godlike library for those and the cube having some of the best rpg's of that gen aswell. Yea sure Xbox version of outrun 2006 is the best but who is going to bother to get a console for just a few games. if you got a cube and ps2, your absolutely not missing much when you skip Xbox Xbox as always just lacks exclusives even OG xbox days, it was a fine console at the time, pretty impressive with them realistic games, but those games don't age well and are easily replaced by modern day equivalents. and with the genre's that do matter Xbox just dropped the ball compared to ps2 or the cube. There isnt much out there it's not nostalgia. Again them dreamcast otogi titles are nice but both the cube and ps2 have way more hidden gems to make those pretty forgettable, I'm all for the nostalgia argument but Xbox just doesnt have much that is interesting to play atm in comparison. Both the cube and ps2 have quality and quantity it's no wonder why many people ignore the OG xbox so much. ps2 and cube have so much more to offer while the xbox especially with a quick glance was just a console with tons of realistic games at the time that didnt age well. |
