Admit it, it's based.

>>725337652
You don't have to mod if to play online again, it's really easy.

>>725337652
Buy a cheap used one?

it was xbox huge

>>725337395 (OP)
not really
it's literally the one single console across all generations nobody cares to emulate because the library just isn't worth it or is better found elsewhere

XBASED.

When the FUCK is Jet Set Radio Future getting ported?

>>725337395 (OP)
The joystick being in the wrong place always bothered me.

>>725337534
the Xbox had a number of good multiplat games and even a few exclusives like Halo and Halo 2

I miss playing Halo 2 and TimeSplitters Future Perfect with the boys so much it's unreal.
Things are just never going to be good ever again are they?L

That's the right place though. Thank fuck someone corrected the dogshit placement the dualshock had. There is a reason everyone else has copied the xbox going forward instead of the playstation. The actual thing the controller did wrong was the placement of the white and black buttons.

Original Xbox also has 2 awful d-pads.

>>725338192
Most controllers do really, due to patent laws cockblocking people from making good ones.

>>725338283
There are solutions to d-pads that don't infringe, Xbox is especially bad because there's no central pivot.

BEST LOOKING CONSOLE OF ALL TIME

>beautiful 4x3 aspect ratio
>UI is appropriately sized to the screen and easy to see without having to look too far off center
Yep... going to widescreen slop monitors and tvs was a huge mistake.

>>725339092
Insanely well balanced.

>>725337395 (OP)
Based on what?

>>725337882
which is only because Microsoft is the only company in the industry who understands that players want backwards compatibility.

>>725337395 (OP)
>Console comes with 2 games on a single disc
>Big controller for big hands
>Better analog layout
>Great exclusives
Xbox was a solid console.

>tfw my computer died during summer vacation and i played fable for like 2 weeks straight

i wont ever be that comfy again

>>725340732
I did something similar when my mom stopped paying for internet for like a month, played Fable on Xbox the entire game.

>>725340732
I miss when I could lose myself in a game. These days I'm lucky if a game lasts me a weekend.

>>725337652
You should mod it just for its longevitiy, the hard drives are all failing and they're tied to the motherboard so swapping them out after they die is a pain in the ass

>>725339827
>>725339092
Halo CE 1440p

>>725342205
The bigger thing to worry about is the clock capacitor. Thankfully ripping that out doesn't really affect much.

>>725339827
wtf I love Halo 2 now

>>725337953
yeah i played them already, so what?

No.

>>725337718
how does a nearly 30 year old game still have players

>>725347224
By being good.

>>725338131
Analog thumbsticks meant for important actions like movement are always in the incorrect place, because they are thumbsticks.
The correct position for an analog stick is attached to an immovable or anchored base, like a flight stick, allowing you to get a much larger range of motion while still using your fingers for pressing buttons.

More like the Xsux lol

We had that too with steel battalion.

You fucking did not, stfu

>>725348716
I did. It's very common but cool

I admitted it when I first played a demo of DOA3 at EB. I knelt to Bill-sama after releasing the duke from my shaking hands.
