    The reason the 6th gen felt so short might be due to how quickly MS and Nintendo dropped the Gamecube and Xbox after the Wii and 360 came out.

    I was a little kid when the Xbox 360 launched. The only thing I remember people talking about was the whole red ring thing and the first person shooters back then. I remember that the very first model of the 360 didn’t have HDMI and only composite and component. That is very shocking when thinking about that now because the only thing we ever use now is HDMI.
    Our family didn’t get ours until around 2010 but we got the black elite model. The Halo series was what my brother played with friends for many years while I played the original Nintendo Wii. This was a very long gaming generation.

      It broke a record in not only gaming but the entertainment industry in general beating out the blockbuster Spider-Man 3. It was the first time a game did something like that. As for merch there was tons of figures that lasted for that entire generation. To this day, anytime there’s a new Halo release, figures are sold for years and years in stores like Target and GameStop. Halo Infinite still had new figures in stores two years after its release. Since it’s been two years they’re doing online only for now but still releasing new figures in that online shop.

    I'm glad Blu-Ray won the HD format war. I'm 100% aware of my bias towards Sony, but in the case of the HD format it had nothing to do with my bias. Blu-Ray WAS the better technology. It was more expensive, but ultimately it was worth it, and the prices quickly came down. Sony got screwed over in the format war with JVC back in the mid '70s. Betamax was a WAY better format. It was capable of recording and playback at 720p, so it's quality would hold up, even with today's HD standards. And yet, it was passed up for the shitty ass VCR technology, because it was cheaper to develop. I'm glad the market didn't make the same mistake with the Blu-Ray. HD-DVD wasn't bad, but Blu-Ray was still FAR superior.

      +HBKCommish Cheaper and profitable was almost always the winner but in this case, both were pretty expensive just a single format was way better. HD-DVD needed extra hardware on the XBOX 360 while the PS3 had a player integrated within the system. Another thing was BLU-RAY sounded better than HD-DVD. Yes the quality of BLU-RAY helped sell itself but the fact is the marketing and overall look. All games on the PS3 were BLU-RAY. The confidence to push that tech was nuts.

    Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia (and to a lesser extent, Blue Dragon) are two completely overlooked exclusive titles especially for any single-player oriented gamer.

    Great video, dude. I'm new to your channel, so I've been flat out watching your stuff the past couple days. When you were talking about true X360 exclusives, the most important one to me was Ace Combat 6. I followed that series from PS2 to X360, and its probably the only reason I didn't get a PS3. Honestly I kind of regret it - AC6 was an excellent game and all, but I got a PS3 (finally) in the last year or so and I've been having a blast with it - much more so than I did with the X360 while I had that. I really can't put my finger on why, though. I think just because I grew up with a PS and PS2, that was just where a lot of my favourite franchises happened to be, and I missed a lot of them through this generation (until now, that is).

      Amit Prasad The games are emulated, so they don't always work perfectly.
      Being emulated gives them the advantage of using the 360 hardware which is obviously more advanced than the original XBox. That means they're displayed in 720p and look pretty nice. But as I said, don't always play perfectly.
      Unless the game originally supported widescreen, and very few did, then it will display 4:3 on your TV.
      You could stretch the image. Though I wouldn't recommend this as that makes it look like pure shit.

    I was team 360 while online was up, but now that online is no more I find the PS3 to be the superior console due to the great exclusives.

  • @cptnoremac
    @cptnoremac 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I actually didn't care for any Halo game after 2, but the 360 did have a few good console exclusives, like Fable 3, Kameo, Crackdown, and The Witcher 2. The PS3 definitely has more must-have exclusives, but I'll always take the 360 version for any multi-plats.

      What do you mean "can't" be? You're saying the phrase "console exclusive" shouldn't exist? To me it does matter, because if it's on a console and a PC, I'll usually take the console version.

    • @cptnoremac

      "Console exclusive" means it's not on another console. That's how this industry defines the phrase. It can be on PC and still be a console exclusive because it wasn't on PS2, Gamecube, or Dreamcast. The PC isn't considered a console.

      So you're just arguing with the semantics? I don't give a shit whether you disagree with the industry standard expression. Go take it up with IGN. My only argument was that the 360 is the only non-PC platform to have The Witcher 2. Either address that point or go away.

      There's no deception happening. "Console exclusive" is just the best way they could come up with to concisely describe "exclusive among consoles." That's what it is: It's exclusive in the subset of platforms that we call consoles. If you have a better phrase for it, let's hear it.

    I greatly prefer the 360 "E" model, slightly smaller, quieter & cooler, I never dug the "bowtie" concave shape of the "S" which looked ok standing vertically but not laying down IMO. I have one new "E" with a 320GB HDD I got at the "360 E's" launch & a new $199 500GB "E" which is a solid investment, even over an XB1 personally. Even though I love my launch PS4 my 360 is still my preferred go-to modern system. I couldn't find a new Xbox 360 for a couple years as they sold out fast here in California at launch & getting one for a $1000 on Ebay was not an option so I waited until the day "Wolfenstein" came out in 2009 which also was the day MS lowered the price of the 120GB Black Elite from $399 to $349. I enjoyed your rant on the 360, I just did one myself as MS announced that they halted production of the 360.

    I think I also have King Kong, V for Vendetta and 300.

    I think the 360 was my favourite console of all time. Growing up I would spend hundreds of hours in my bedroom with the PS1 but the 360 had some games that , looking back, was just amazing. Games such as Bioshock was just insane when you compare it to the games we were playing the previous generation. The online aspect was amazing, Gears of War just blew me away when I first played it, not since the N64 (Goldeneye) had I stayed up all night playing a game.

    I also prefer all the solo campaigns of WW2 FPS games & feel similar about the 360 line-up & legacy, I love "COD 2, 3 & WAW" also as well as the fantastic "Star Wars Force Unleashed 1 & 2". By having a couple new 360s with big hard drives we can keep all our favorite games installed with their respective patches & DLC, also all the great XBLA games. Even after MS stops supporting the 360 online I can still play & enjoy all my 150+ 360 games for a lifetime "offline".

    I remember thinking [during the time of the HDDVD vs Bluray] that HDDVD would come out on top since, in terms of name recognition, would be an easier transition for the consumer. This either demonstrates my lack of understanding on such matters, or that my cognitive processes had been dulled as I was working full time night-shift at a supermarket. Although more recently my father bought a Bluray film, and I had to explain to him that it wouldn't work on a DVD player.

    Well, a couple of other bits to note about Adam that the others may not know of and should know about in the future, that despite the others saying that the XBox 360 E model doesn’t seem appealing at all, that it was only a very short time after I had commented to you last time right here that I had found out that what they say otherwise about it is true: that it does run quieter, since I very briefly ran Sonic’s Sega Collection bit in it and it was around half as loud, and it does run on less power draw and so it runs cooler and despite its less amount of ports on it that I’m able to hook up everything to it and the HD DVD Player does slightly help with that; and lastly, main thing and it might apply to the S model as well I’m not sure, that even though it would seem that any of us getting the higher up amounts models of more storage with the XBox 360 would be a worth it idea, but after I had tried that with the 250gb model and then returned it, is that it turns out that it’s not a good idea after all, since that they’re the same as the original 4gb model, but with that sort of extra 4gb system memory storage bit taken out entirely, and someone else had commented that it’s also good to have that memory storage for the calculating, and now either way that I’m glad that I had gotten that original 4gb model to begin with after all and I’m now sticking with it, yeah. >Danny

      Well have to agree to disagree.

But the main thing that keeps me on the forza side is the customization of the cars.

    I will say for the record that the Xbox One servers actually intertwined with the 360 servers so that's the reason why it's still going strong in 2020. So unless Microsoft decides to make servers exclusively to the Series X (which wouldn't surprise me and very likely), the 360 servers will continue to operate for a long time. That's the reason why the 360 is still able to function online in 2020. Hope that the 360 can continue to have support but eventually all things have to come to an end.

    Heh, I remember back in 2006, people were selling 360s for 700 dollars. Damn near got suckered into getting one, but I held out. First game I got for the 360 was "NBA 2K6" and I was blown away by the graphics. I was using composite cables at 480, but it still looked great! Didn't get the "WOW!" factor with PS4, though. Perhaps it's because I'm mainly a P.C. gamer now. 360 was a fairly good launch, the only negative was that it was sold out at damn near every store I went. Couldn't get one until mid-to-late 2006. The blades were my favorite dashboard iteration; liked the vibrant colors. Nostalgia also helps.

    I also remember being blown away by the 7th generation, my best friend got a PS3 for Christmas, and he had MotorStorm, Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty (He rightfully traded in Tools of Destruction before I could play it.), Resistance 2, and Grand Theft Auto IV. I was wondering why my friend was saying he had some games when he didn't have the disc, I was looking for the memory cards, I was confused.
    I remember thinking MotorStorm and GTA IV looked like real life, Ratchet and Clank blew away all my expectations, it felt like a Pixar movie, and Resistance 2 just had so much awesome shit going on screen. It felt like everything I knew I was wrong.
    Looking back on it, the original MotorStorm is ugly as all hell, GTA IV is a grey mess, Ratchet and Clank Future feels sterile and awkward, and the Resistance games are also very stiff and weird. It's hard to believe I lost my mind when they were new.
