Join Johnny Millenium The Happy Console Gamer as he discusses new video game news and reviews forgotten games that not many people know about but should!
I remember the first time I played Gears of War on my Xbox 360 and saying out loud, "This is the future I dreamed about!" That was the biggest graphics leap I had seen since the jump from Snes to N64 and it was mind blowing!
it was mind blowing!
+DreamcastGuy While I can certainly say the same about GoW, it kinda hurts to look back at the path this game forged for AAA development. But heck, back then, everything about the game made my jaw drop.
yeah it looks a bit dated today but it was a huge leap graphically over what I was used to on ps2 and original XBOX, not to mention a great co-op game, played through the entire game at least 3 times with split screen co-op.
+DreamcastGuy ive never played it but when i would smoke some weed with my friends thats all they played in the basement, long ass time ago. the guy that plays the guys voice in ffx is the father of tidus which is braska is the final aeon if you play the game youll know what im talking about
I played gears of wars on pc when it first came out
Lost Odyssey has to be one of the top 5 JRPG of last Gen, hands down! Amazing job done, beautiful game. Very dynamic...
So glad that you mentioned Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. That game still looks great and is really fun to play.
This video could've easily been an hour long. Xbox 360 was the best generation for Microsoft. There were so many gems. Wish this video was longer, and also included Rob.
The 360 is 1 of the best consoles ever. Besides that pesky red ring of death, lol.
The best reason to own an Xbox 360 is for the mostly exclusive shmup library (especially since they were all released only for that console at the time) with Cave's games, Raiden Fighters Aces, Bullet Soul, Eschatos, Ginga Force, and the Shooting Love trilogy. Also, many cool Xbox Live Arcade games like Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Virtual-On: Otomari Tangram, Rez, and many others; even Xbox Live Indie Games had some quality titles.
+PinMike Great shmups on the 360, I love Cave. Unfortunately not all the Japanese games were region free but some are! At least Cave is pushing out releases onto Steam now. The Raiden games are also excellent on there. In Japan this was THE niche system for shmup fans.
+PinMike Definitely a good reason - there are some region free retail shmups too from Japan and Europe. Quite a few decent JRPGs too though some like Star Ocean or Eternal Sonata got enhanced rereleases on the PS3 eventually anyway.
+PinMike definitely!
don't forget about dodonpachi!
+PinMike This is the only reason I have a 360 as well. What a great console for Shoot em ups. It's a shame Deathsmiles didn't sell better. Would've like to have seen the genre become more popular in the west.
VideoGameVictims Wish we got Deathsmiles 2 over here.
Dear HCG,
Since early 2009, I have watched your show religiously. I have never missed a video, never missed a moment. When I was first getting into your show, I would even go through your archive and watch all of the videos on your channel, and I have to tell you...there is a true atmosphere to what you are doing. I can feel the presence of a true love for gaming when I watch your videos, and it emits through and strengthens my enthusiasm for gaming even more. I have been a gamer my whole life, but truth be told...your show has amplified my love for video games immensely, and I can only thank you for that, sir. I have watched you and Rob so much that I almost feel like both of you are old friends in a way. As odd as it may seem, when I watch your videos, I don't just feel like I'm watching a youtube video, I feel like I'm hanging with friends and talking about the world's greatest hobby that we all have been blessed with loving, video games! That's the power of your show, my friend! Thank you for the years of awesomeness, and never stop! Game on!
Sincerely,
Your Fan
Man, I've had some seriously good times with friends on the 360. Playing Halo 3, Halo Reach, Dead Rising, and Tales of Vesperia (the game that got me into the Tales series) will always be one of my best gaming memories. Also I think it's really cool you're speaking of Lost Odyssey so highly because that game deserves more love, I'm currently on the last disk and the game has made me cry more than once.
Man, time flies. To this day, I'm still discovering great games to play on the 360. It was my first taste of gaming in HD and that was what sold me. To be honest, it still looks awesome!
I love the 360. I still remember when Mass Effect 2 came out, one of my favorite games of all time. It was actually exclusive to the 360 for it's whole first year, and Mass Effect 1 had nearly 4 years of exclusivity. My two favorite JRPGs of the 7th gen were exclusive to it, Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia. Gears and Oblivion showed me that the 7th generation was truly here. Plus, many of my buddies were on Xbox Live, so online play with them left a lasting impression with me. I loved my PS3 for a lot of my great single player experiences, and I've always been a PlayStation guy (still am). But the 360 will always mean a lot to me :)
Exactly what you said Johnny, Before Oblivion I was still playing Final Fantasy and other JRPGs on my PS1/PS2 and one day I ended up at a friends house for a band practice, he was playing oblivion...loaded his game, on a cliff edge with his horse over looking the vista and my mind was blown..I did dabble with Morrowind prior on my laptop but never had the chance to get going in that as my laptop broke.
But shortly after that, the elder scrolls series became a new kind of open adventure experience that I fell in love with, So many games are doing it now...the amazement has worn off because of it, but like Oblivion and more so, Skyrim blew my mind. I'm the next in the series will be nothing short of perfection.
My 2008 original model 360 still alive and kicking.
Still haven't found any good games to play on it? You know microsoft gave up on it too a couple years back. I'm kidding! I actually plan on getting one on the cheap to play lost odyssey, maybe blue dragon if I'm really desperate for Jrpgs. That's sadly one thing the sony totally borked for their ps3 for me. If it wasn't for FROM and level 5 there would be zero decent jrpgs to play unless you wanted to buy rereleases or remakes of classic ps1 titles.
You must have been replying to someone else. lol I've played a shit ton of 360 games over the last 9 years on my 360. I have retired my original one recently to an S model since my original was waaaaay too loud, even running games off the HDD.
I was blown away by the 360 when I played a demo of Call of Duty 2 at Wal-Mart all those years ago. One of my favorite consoles of all time. I still play my 360 one in a while.
I dont even really like the 360 much but i watched this video anyway cause i love how passionate and enthusiastic you are about video games
its crazy how 10 year olds are growing up with ps4s and I had the ps1
I will never forget Lost Odyssey. It puts the recent Final Fantasy games (aside from XIV) to shame. It's a shame not that many people know/care about it just because it's on Xbox.
can we get a part 2 of this?i really enjoy when you talk about your games..its so much story and i like to hear your opinions on games :)
Such an amazing console I have so many great memories attached to it.
Wow I just clicked on this video and realized today is 11/22/2022. Crazy that it’s been 17 years, where’d the time go
Oblivion was by far the most exciting part of the 360 launch. My dad had been playing Morrowind for months and I couldn't pull myself to get into it. When Oblivion hit, though, I was hooked in an instant. It felt like a whole new world of gaming.
DOA 4, Lost Planet, Mirrors Edge, Naruto Rise of a Ninja, were some of my all time favorite games I played on the 360.
I still have my original 360 from day one and even though it sounds like a plane taking off it still works. I loved playing Kameo: Elements of Power over Christmas in 05, great times.
I feel old I can't believe it has been 10 years... I still remember picking up my 360 at launch with oblivion in march 2006 Australian release date I love the 360 old dashboard look... good times
Johnny your story about addiction was one of your best I feel for the depth and detail that you went into about your story. Please make more like this with deep stories of your favourite games from your childhood :)
I remember when I first got my 360 and I played Call of Duty Black Ops online for first time. I could not believe that a console could work that good with online matches. Love the 360.
Crazy it's been 10 years. I remember holding out thinking I would get a PS3. When the PS3 ended up being $600 with no real games to speak of, it was easy to make the 360 my console of choice mid 2007, with Gears of War being my first game (I too played it on an old CRT!). It's crazy to think that the 360 I have is so old it doesn't even have HDMI out, and wasn't an issue when I got it! Great decade for a great console.
I have so many nostalgic memories of the Xbox 360. I remember being blown away by the graphics when I first saw Viva Pinata (which looks like a decent mobile game by today's standards). But at the end of the day the best thing about the 360 was Xbox Live. It was my first experience playing online games. It made it so goddamn easy. I probably played more hours of Halo 3 online multiplayer than I slept in high school!
Gears Of war was the game that got me back into gaming after a lengthy hiatus. It blew me away. I had to have it.
2005 I was there on launch day, working in a videogames store. Absolutely manic. Took me a few years before I got one myself -- the Super Elite model -- and I have a good number of the JRPGs that came out for it, including Lost Oddyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Eternal Sonata, Resonance of Fate, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and a tonne of others.
The Xbox 360 was known for Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Fable and Oblivion. It also had other great games such as, Forza, Project Gotham Racing, Crackdown, Burnout Revenge, Condemned Criminal Origins, Splinter Cell Conviction, Ace Combat 6 Fires of Liberation, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Raiden IV, Akai Katana, Deathsmiles, Dodonpachi Resurrection, Mushihimesama Futari, Espgaluda II, Kameo Elements of Power, The Witcher 2, Xbox 360 Triple Pack (Limbo, Trials HD and Splosion Man), Namco Museum Virtual Arcade, Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead. That doesn't even include the cross platform games that were available for the system. For a game console to last 10 years is a testament to its longevity, success and popularity.
Long lost nights of Halo 3 tournaments. I miss those days
You've actually inspired me to film a video for the anniversary as well. doing it tomorrow lol. thanks man.
being a 12 year old playstation fanboy at the time, i remember a joke from the time
"why is it called a 360?"
"because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and moonwalk away"
i later actually got to play one, and to be honest? it was an amazing console and i regret badmouthing it like that, far less stability issues with bethsoft games than say the ps3.
i remember something similar where people wpuld say something along the lines of it getting to 360 degrees and burning up (red ring)
oh yeah, i remember the red ring of death jokes being prevalent back during the xbox 360s tenure.
ahh good times.
I was 8-9 and a PlayStation fan boy to lol but I guess what turned me off was the red ring of death and maybe paying for only but now you have to pay for PlayStation now lol
yeah, all the appeal got drained from the ps4 for me. this generation i've switched over to PC and wii U because frankly, both the ps4 and xbone have problems that the PC has, but the PC has more benefits
+Shinjiro Aragaki Even as a non-fanboy I felt the jokes were kind of deserved because the name of the console was so ridiculous. Why 360? Did this number have some meaning unknown to us? Or did the designers just throw out a random number that they thought sounded cool..?
The Xbox One isn't something else too. Wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft's next console is the "Xbox 139284-2" or something like that.. whoever is coming up with the names for Microsoft's consoles needs to be fired
I could've listened to you talk about every single one of those games. Oblivion blew me away too, I ended up spending 200+ hours on it. My original white 360 with no HDMI still works, I'm one of the lucky ones I guess.
So glad you mentioned Lost Odyssey, that was one og the best games to come out on the 360 and one of the best JRPGs ever!
I would love to see a PC release!
You're experience you had with naruto and the graphics was the exact same for me but Dragon Ball Burst Limit
Bought mine 10 years ago...still running perfectly,dvd player too! Best cd based consoleas far as wear goes....after my 21 year old Japanese Saturn of course :-)
the older you get man the faster time flies...
One early memory I had was Project Gotham Racing on 360...flying around with amazing graphics, changing the camera angle on your car in a snap, awesome tunes playing, I said Wow this is next gen. Because at first there was a lot of question if 360 was truly next gen or maybe Xbox 1.5.
Probably the next most mind blowing was Gears of War, the first mind blowing 360 graphics.
And hah! I played 360 on a SD TV at first too. I think everybody did. In fact honestly I think 360 was one of the big drivers of HDTV adoption early on. Cause a lot of people and myself included got their first HDTV mainly for Xbox 360 use first. I had my 360 and I just knew I needed a HDTV to full take advantage of it.
I finally got another 360 after finding the latest model for $90 with a bunch of games at a pawn shop this summer. I haven't had a working 360 since I gave up on the console in frustration way back in early 2009 when I switched to the ps3. I have been enjoying buying a ton of games for the system the past few months. I've already got 30+ games and I haven't paid over $5 for any of them. Lot of great classics but most have been coming to steam the past few years. Still to this day I consider Resonance of Fate, Bayonetta, Red Dead Redemption, Gears of War, and Vanquish as the greatest experiences of this past HD generation (360/ps3).
My first time playing an Xbox 360 was playing a display model in Shopko. My brother and I ran to the video game section because we both wanted to play it first.
My brother bought a 360 because of Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. Like you mentioned, you don't have to be a fan of the series to like the game and he wasn't! Neither one of us had ever watched the anime or read the manga. I played a couple hundred hours of Oblivion when I had a lot more time to do that, probably 5 or 6 years ago it was now. Absolutely love Oblivion. It's probably in my top 5 games list! Thanks for sharing your memories.
since you've ,,discovered" the Tales of series for you recently, catching up on Tales of Vesperia is a must!
and yeah, 10 years is unbelievable. but then again, last gen was the longest of them all, it feels weird how xbox one is barely 2 years old, yet we have THIS anniversary. I only got into last gen with Wii in 2006, but already played 360 a year earlier.
I remember playing Gears on a CRT then getting a VGA cable and hooking up my 360 to a monitor! I was blown away at the detail and atmosphere. My first ever 360 game however was Rainbow Six Vegas. Poured hours into that on Multiplayer, great memories! Still my favourite console of the last gen to play, I don't see me selling it any time soon. There are a ton of awesome games to be had for pennies now the next gen is out, now's the time to be collecting great titles for the system :) and the PS3 for that matter. Bargains Ahoy!
Oblivion was the reason I bought an Xbox 360, too, summer 2006! :)
+Jesse Watson yeah man Oblivion was the holy grail back then, i've spend an insane amount of time on that game and it made one of the biggest TES fanboys out of me
Gears of War, Call of Duty 2, Sabotuer, Halo 3, COD MW, GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption, Crysis, XBOX LIVE, and on and on and on. The Xbox 360 is a fantastic console. Even though I'm on my 3rd one.
The 360 changed my Playstation heart that the PS1 & PS2 molded. Then the PS4 changed it back. Its was really the 360 show all those years.
I got my Xbox 360 on June 6th, 2006, with Project Gotham Racing 3 and Perfect Dark Zero. I have about 50 games for it (not many exclusives for it that I liked), but I really, really loved the era from 2006-2009 on the console, with the initial "Blade Dashboard" and the amazing lineup of XBLA games from 2007-2009. It felt like a great continuation from the original Xbox (which is still my favorite console of the three Xbox's; mainly because of the SEGA lineup in the first two years).
Funny, I got mine around the same time. Mainly for Dead Rising and the, then, future release of RE5. Never thought I'd be up to 45 titles by now. I'm a picky gamer.
+moviemetalhead The main reason I wanted the console was for Dead Rising (don't know why I forgot to mention that haha). Still one of my favorite games for it and I'm really picky with what games I buy, too.
+Matthew J. Boone I really miss that blade dashboard.
JonnyBoyUltra161 Glad I'm not alone on that because I always loved the simplicity of it and how unique it was. Also, it never lagged and had next to no ads on it (sometimes).
+Matthew J. Boone Dead Rising still kicks ass. Clunky controls/AI and all. Eventually I was glad I had 360 when GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, Batman Arkham Asylum/City, Skyrim, Splatterhouse, Fallout 3, Darksiders 1&2, The Evil Within, Max Payne 3, Bioshock to name a few favorites.. Got a few retro collections too: Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Konami Classics vol.1, Capcom Digital Collection and Midway Arcade Origins.
Such a great investment.
Xbox 360 is my second largest collection (behind N64). I love the system. It's been a blast playing games on with my friends on Xbox Live over the years.
Makes a video about the 10th anniversary of xbox 360, put a big ps3 on top.
I thought you were going to mention that actually but I was wrong ha ha ha
+666hammerheart I missed that! I had to dig them out of the closet, I should have double looked! was too excited to do the video lol
+HappyConsoleGamer That's pretty funny. You know we're going to give you shit about this for years to come, right? "Hey johnny! Can you sign my 360 game!" *hands you a ps3 title* xP LOL
Natural Progression Then I would play it in my 3DO!
HappyConsoleGamer
LOL! Well played, sir.
+HappyConsoleGamer dont forget to make a 10 year video on the ps3 next year ;)
Oh man , I still remember when I picked mine up at launch. I got it with PGR 3, Perfect Dark Zero, and Kameo. PGR totally consumed me until Dead orAlive 4 finally came out just over a month later. It was supposed to be a launch title, but they missed the window and got delayed twice.
Halo 3 and Gears for sure! Probably my two favorite shooters for online of all time. Custom games in Halo 3 with 16 players was the most fun I've ever had playing an online game. Bioshock is an absolute favorite (Bioshock 2 had a crappy story mode but the online was really cool). Fallout 3 was incredible. Xbox live arcade had some gems like Castle Crashers (super fun co-op). They didn't come out at launch, but three of my favorite fighters of all time were on 360: MK9, Street Fighter 5 and MvC 3.
I did not get a 360 until 2008. I bought one for JRPGs at the time. My favorite game on the 360 was Tales of Vesperia. The game was awesome. I eventually sold the 360 because I did not have time for three consoles. Most of the games I wanted to play on 360 were either on PS3 or were coming out shortly. I also bought Ninja Gaiden 2 and Eternal Sonata. Both of these games eventually came to PS3 as well. I planned to play Star Ocean 4 as well, but I never got around to it. This game also came to PS3. I would not say my time with the 360 was a waste. I had fun playing Street Fighter 4 with a friend online. I am not into multiplayer that much, so I never was interested in playing Halo or Gears of War. Hopefully you do a PlayStation 3 video next year. That system is extremely underrated.
So, does that mean it's becoming "retro"??
I'm getting old.
+The Obsolete Geek I don't care what any one says Retro is at least 2 generations old. Last gen aint retro.
Nah has to be 2 generatioms old at least before its retro IMO!
+Herp Derp I think the two console rule of thumb is pretty reasonable to go by.
+The Obsolete Geek Rise of the Tomb Raider, Transformers Devastation, and Metal Gear Solid V just came out for it. I'd say it's still current! The 360 may be on it's way out soon, but thankfully BC will help it live on.
+ABH That's what I thought about the ps2 to ps3. Do I still touch the ps2 games when newer games of ps3 came out? In the beginning of ps3, I played the ps2 games more but as time progress, I stop literally and concentrate on ps3. Same will happen to the ps4 which I currently own.
The very earliest days of the 360 were the very final days of my... gaming innocence? Were every memory remains slightly rose tinted. I recall PGR3 blowing me away - looks better in my memories than in fact.
what, already ten years? i remember when i got my 360 in 2005, it was my first console ever and i just got it out of the blue from my dad. i have always loved the 360, however here in Norway playstatio 3 was always the coolest console and many of my friend sad that the playstaion3 was the best console ever and that i could go and fuck my self. but even though i no one of my friends agried with me that the 360 was the best i have always tought that the xbox 360 was the best console between ps3 and 360.
You are better off without those friends!
@11:54 I played through FarCry 3 on the 360 more than 6 times and covered all difficulties. It never got bored. =)
Clicked on to the video, see you wearing a Mass Effect 2 t-shirt and immediately like the video just for that alone. Great video ;)
What I remember most about the 360's launch was the commercials, because beyond that I ignored the system. I was always in the PlayStation and Nintendo camp. My mom eventually bought a 360 to play a few Kinect games like The Black Eyed Peas Experience once and immediately forget all about them. I played a few non-Kinect titles though, and nowadays I have a better appreciation for Xbox.
My 2008 Falcon chipset is still running strong, knock on wood!
ditto!
My favorite Xbox 360 memory is when I walked by a giant Xbox 360 display at Best Buy as I left the store with my brand new PS3.
The main reason I bought a 360 back in the day.. Dead Rising! and I wasn't disappointed.
I STILL play Dead Rising. Always love the random nature of sand box games..
I remember playing through 7 day survivor for the first time thinking my 360 was going to melt.
+sockpuppet187 I still gotta get 7 day. I've got 5 day survivor though. That and Frank the Pimp. But yeah I felt like that back when I was playing hours upon hours of GTA IV. You do that hand test to see how hot the unit is.. lol
+sockpuppet187 That's one of the greatest IMO. No game comes close to the immensely satisfying, visceral feel it gave the player, mainly due to the intense sounds. You could practically feel the sting from the golf club, or the impact of the sledge hammer. The amazing variety of items that could be used as weapons was great too. Add to that a great sense of humor in a dark situation & it's just one great game all around.
Plus, there was the side puzzle feature called "Try to understand the finicky whiners who don't like this awesome game ONLY because they can't do everything thing they want in a single play through; never mind the fact they really enjoy it otherwise and can do everything they want to do on multiple play throughs, which is how the game was designed to be played."
Oh god, still remember spending 2 days at a local supermarket playing the launch titles :S
My brother bought his around 10 years ago, took two months and it already died. Then the same thing happened again, and again. Seriously. Why didn't they build it a bit better?
Was probably rushed
when it heats the rrod happens
+TalesOfGamerz The HDD was added at the last minute, it was supposed to use flash drives. The HDD covered up the main air intake.
The design of the case was a terrible design. People bitch about Xbox One being big but that's for a reason. Reliability. They said they are not thinking of making a slim one because they are scared of RROD happening again. I'm pretty sure my friend's and I's PS4 is on they way out because of how small it is only after 2 years.
+TalesOfGamerz They did... in 2007 and 2009, 2010, etc
Is a shame and black mark they didn't care about quality control for the first twoish years. And even later it wasn't "solved" til late phat models and slims (2009-2010).
Love Lost Odyssey... Glad to see it get some love. I didn't find out about it till much after it was out and am glad I discovered it.
I've been watching your videos for weeks now. Subbed :)
I see it as the only appropriate thing to do lol
years ago my buddy and I and his friend we at my place playing Morrowind on the original Xbox and I was going nuts over if for a few weeks before that. then we finished it that night and my buddys friend goes now you need to get oblivion... I had no idea what he meant then freaked out when I seen it. a few weeks later it was Xmas and I got my 360 and a copy of oblivion and melted into it . feels like yesterday. now I'm buying games for my son.
I'd love to see you do a video talking about all of the games haha. It's like I am reminiscing along with you when you talk about them.
I didn't get a 360 until Rock Band came out because I was so interested in that game and I knew Harmonix was going to support that console the most. So a lot of my memories with the 360 have to do with Rock Band and the 100s of hours I played it and it's sequels/spin-offs.
I also really loved Earth Defense Force 2017.
Hey what a great video, thanks for making this. Xbox 360 is my favorite console to date, it has so many great games.
Gotta say that the main things that stand out for me in my main Xbox 360 years as a kid before the Xbox One, (still have the 360 obviously but don't play it as often now). Mass Effect 1 and 2, halo 3-3 ODST and Reach along with call of duty 4 and 5. Those are just some of the ones I would play the most. Oh and Quantum of Solace because it was my first 7th gen FPS game.Great generation and some of my greatest childhood memories.
Never played the original XBOX. Picked up my 360 around the time of Halo 3 - COD4 release and loved every second. Got FORZA 2 bundled with it and that was also excellent. It got the RROD on the GTAIV release date so that was a bummer but...10 years down the line, I'm still working through my backlog!
Didn't get my 360 until 2009, and never had a problem with it (think they fixed the problem by then) . My second favorite system and to this day has my favorite online interface for multiplayer gaming.
The 360 had some great RPGs, and I think my most fond memory was playing through Tales of Vesperia.
Out of all the tales games, that had my favorite story.
That's wicked funny Johnny cause that's the same game that sold me on owning a 360!! I didn't have one, I think I was playing Twilight Princess on the Gamecube at the time an my friend brought over his Xbox and he had this. So I made a character and played for like 10 to 12 hours straight and I just got lost in this world. I didn't play morrowind so I wasn't familiar and when I got done I couldn't play any games on any other system till I got my own copy of oblivion for my own Xbox... Great video as always!
Wow... 10 years??? Great video, Johnny.
My first xbox 360 from 2008 never died i still have it
Thinking of doing a LUNAR retrospective, HCG? Those two boxes in the background are teasing the hell out of me.
Great console! Never had problems with it and mine has been running since 2007.
Lost Odyssey is probably in the top 10 JRPGs of all time; sharing ranks with Final Fantasy VI/VII, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest VIII, etc.
you should make another part of this video talking about the rest of the games u had in there :)
I'm glad you mentioned Lost Odyssey. I really truely enjoyed that game. I was really invested into the story line which is something that doesn't usually happen for me. I'd love to play a sequel if they could capture the same essence and fix some of the minor flaws along the way. I'm surprised it didn't get more critical appeal.
Major love for Lost Odyssey, so many great titles on the 360 that were the reason I procrastinated getting a job after I left school >_
Also Oblivion was my first WRPG as well, I loved it. Although I'm still not the biggest into them, I don't seek them, I still only seek JRPG's.
I only had the original xbox and after a month my parents sold it because me & my younger brother enjoyed ps2 more
But i tried the 360 out at a friends house for an hour and i wasn't into it and the controller was uncomfortable for me because i'm used to the PlayStation controllers and been with PlayStation since the beginning but i have to say xbox one looking nice right now that low price tag! It's been 10yrs for both consoles and that's crazy to think about...Remembering getting online for the first time for skate 2 and talking to other people while playing and i still have most of those friends i met online starting from i want to say 07 but great times man.
It's nice that you can now play in many of this games via BC on Xbox One!
This system got me hooked on playing live,and the mic forget about it!
hard to believe its been 10 years-I've only had two xbox 360 within the 10 years.
i look through that xbox 360 pile ... and i think i have all the same games. If not now, at least i had them at some point. Theres some 'good' stuff in there.
And yet for some reason, the whole xbox 360 period of gaming felt like such a joyless time. It felt like the true manifestation of american values, rather than the toy-like fantasy of the primarily japanese generations of consoles before it. I feel like this is where we see a real shift of games as a medium trying to be taken seriously for a particular kind of person. War and simulation through the lens of realism, funneled into a kind of sport, driven by a kind of grittiness and immersion in horror that frankly, upon completion of many of these games, didnt leave me feeling like i'd had a particularly fun time.
I felt like i was always being impressed my ambition, by spectacle, by intensity of emotion. But those emotions for me always felt closer to fear and terror than they felt towards joy and laughter.
For me Nintendo occupies very squarely the 'fun' part, honestly so much so though i actually find its lack of edge or real world conerns as being something very unrelatable. There for me is *too* much reliance on all-out escapism in Nintendo. Xbox 360 swings hard the other way, where I feel like it tried very hard to be taken seriously at the expense of a truly bouyant atmosphere.
For me, Playstation sits nicely in the middle of these two extremes and thats why I love it. I would include Neo Geo too if they were still around. What i mean by this is that Neo Geo typifies, for me, the sweet spot - bold colours, striking designs, fun gamefeel, and its settings are things that feel still somewhat rooted in our world - 80s dystopias, real world vehicles in backgrounds, sex appeal, explosions. I want my games to feel magical exaggurations of the real world, and for some reason Microsoft brough in a kind of dourness that I will never forgive them for.
I remember I got hurt at work when the Mass Effect trilogy collection came out and I was out of work for two weeks and did nothing but play Mass Effect from the time I got up at like six in the morning till my wife got home at 5-6 pm that night.
Also, I loved Lost Odyssey, but I did think it dragged a little around the end of the second disc.
Oh man, Lost Odyssey. The Tears were real in that game.
The 360 got it right ok it had initial rrod issues but it was the first device capable of outputting hd signal on sale in uk in November 2005 and it was superb. I still have my launch day machine with the manufactured on date and I love the controller and the memories. It was my introduction to hd. Also loved the aesthetics of the original white one just looked clean and futuristic. Ten years eh. It was rammed home for me when it was the playstation 20th birthday I was like, it really does not feel like two decades since I was dying for an imported japanese one that Christmas in 1994.
The jump from SD to HD really blew me away with the 360. I remember with The Last Remnant, and Dead Rising you couldn't really read the text on a SDTV, finally went to Futureshop and bought my first HDTV, can never go back to playing HD consoles on SDTV's. Still have the CRT for my older consoles though.
My absolute best memory about the X360 launch, must without a doubt be Condemned. Amazing game, that i have completed several times! Still hope to see a third game in the series!
I can't believe it's been FIFTEEN years now!
I remember Splinter Cell Double Agent, that game was a really badass online.
I really enjoyed all the classics on 360 like Elder Scrolls, Fable and Gears of War but in the past few years I've really gotten into the Japan exclusives for the system, especially the shooters by Cave, 5PB etc. Even now I'm still discovering new games for it, Phantom Breaker and Ogoun Muso Kyoku X for example, two really great 2D fighters.
Call of duty 3 and Splinter Cell Blacklist were the first two games I had when I got the 360
Countless hours on COD3 multiplayer playing split screen with my brother, does anyone remember the German bolt action rifle- the Krak? Beast of a gun, ah good times lol
i havent seen the video yet, but i can already tell it is going to be awesome!
I remember playing Call of Duty 2 online for hours on end. That game was a classic wish they still bought out World War II versions of Call of Duty.
