^ I was just replying to the post about there only being Halo 1 & 2 on XBox. Didn't even touch on like 90% of the stuff you are replying to me about. Yeah, PS2 had more exclusives, never said it didn't. Just saying there are plenty of exclusives that are good that aren't Halo 1 & 2. And if you haven't played Panzer Dragoon: Orta or Stubbs the Zombie, you are definitely missing out. It's so cheap to own and collect for, and it has the best multiplatform versions of games, being the powerhouse console of that generation. To not own it, as a retro gamer, is a shame. |

Also speaking of power houses it doesn't really matter I mean even the gamecube had double the power of a ps2 console wich is kinda insane to me but I will say that the games look more polished at least for the games that I like on gamecube. I mean gta etc are pretty impressive on ps2 if your into that kind of stuff. Yes some games are slightly better thanks to the power of xbox but only for very few games is it actually important since most of those games didn't age well. Not to mention the improvements aren't that big for games like outrun 2006, but it could be a solid reason for the star wars games wich are pricy on xbox. Still though since your so big on xbox I'm pretty suprised that your didn't mention or even own any of the otogi games wich are in my opinion the best games to have or play on xbox o well ::) I would still say that people are not missing out on much, stubbs zombie can be played on pc for cheap, you can get physical copies probably better than the console version and as far as orta goes you could always go to the sega saturn. For people who are fan of old games and not really the normal mainstream 3d games I mean shenmue II wasn't released on the dreamcast in the US so I guess that's a nice reason since you can't play it anywhere else. Also arguably pretty much all of the sega games. still though It has not much to offer in comparison and not only compared to ps2 or gamecube pretty much all good consoles except for atari esk ones. So not only from It's generation does it have less to offer but compared to many. Also saying that owning an xbox is a must for a retrogamer is pretty bold considering it has very few actually good retro games. Allot of games on xbox are ps3 ps4 games with bad grapics, barely any retro games on there if I'm honest especially compared to ps2 and gamecube. I'm not saying it is a bad console I'm just stating some facts why the xbox is ignored by many wich seems very reasonable in my eyes. |

Its the first time I've ever seen someone call Fable, Knights of the Old Republic, Morrowind, or Stubbs the Zombie exclusive titles. I'll give you Jade Empire because it was a couple years until that was on PC. |

I don't hate the Xbox systems but I have a severe disdain for them. I had to replace my launch Xbox and came to find out that my replacement system was also experiencing issues. I was a peon in the GameStop system when the 360 launched so I lived through the extremely shorted pre-order debacle as well as the systems that had RROD and E-174 issues right out of the gate. Of course customers blamed US and not Microsoft for this. :-\ It used to be that if there was a multi-platform game, I would opt for the Xbox version as it would be the "superior" release. Well once I experienced issues with my replacement Xbox, that "logic" went by the wayside pretty quickly and I instead opted for the Cube or PS2 version over Xbox. I would still buy Xbox console exclusives if I found them for a good price and I did this for Xbox 360 releases even though it wouldn't be till 2013 before I finally decided it was "safe" enough to buy a Xbox 360 (the Xbox One had launched by this time). Because of the issues I experienced with both the Xbox and 360, I still to this day cannot bring myself to purchase the Xbox version of a multi-platform release. The only Xbox One games I picked up on Black Friday were console exclusive releases as I would always opt for the PS4 release instead. While my Xbox One has been nothing but impeccable since I acquired it, I've had this lingering thought in my head that it's a matter of when, not if, the system is going to fail and I'm going to need to replace it. :( |

I love the original Xbox. People only think it has no games because Microsoft did an awful job of marketing anything that wasn't Halo. Sega was pretty much exclusively an Xbox game developer after the Dreamcast sank, everything that wasn't made by Sonic Team was Xbox exclusive and they put out some REALLY good stuff that gen. Plenty of good stuff outside of Sega games too. And not having limited memory for the first time was such a relief. I look back on it fondly and I have no idea why anyone wouldn't. And I know some of the games we consider to be exclusives aren't technically exclusives since they're on PC too, but I don't really like playing games on PC and I don't think I'm alone in that, so to people like us they're basically exclusive. Objectively PS2 is superior, sure, but Xbox is great too. |
