Topic	I've never owned a single Xbox console
MadDewg 03/12/22 9:32:06 AM #11:	The original xbox for it's time had some amazing online console gaming. Sony was still messing around with having a network adapter add-on for the original PS2 model with 56K users being able to play alongside broadband users (which of course was laggy as hell) and the cube had a whopping all of like what, 3 games or so that actually used that network adapter. (PSO episode 1 and 2 which was amazing, but then its like phantasy star online episode 3 card battle and......that was kind of it). Here comes the xbox with it's mandatory broadband requirement and unreal championship 1 n' 2, dead or alive ultimate, it's own version of phantasy star online episode 1 and 2, return to castle wolfenstein (which was leagues better than the PS2 counterpart. The PS2 could only muster just a single player campaign whereas the xbox version had two players co-op for the campaign and a 16 player online mode....which was fun as hell. Seriously I played return to castle wolfenstein for like, 8 months straight), rainbow six, splinter cell, halo 2, hell it even had a version of guilty gear x2 reload that was online capable....the input delay sucked all kinds of ass but dammit I was beating ass with anji online back in 2004/2005). Other online games I played on it was stuff like sega's spikeout and conker live and reloaded. (which was surprisingly fun for what it was. Assassins was a little too strong though). The og xbox admittedly did not work too well as a "main console" since you would miss way too many of those good 1st/2nd/3rd party games that was on the PS2, but goddamn it was an amazing companion console, even more so because some of those western-made 3rd party games like psy-ops was so much better on the xbox compared to the ps2. The xbox 360 was awesome back when xbox live arcade was all new and devs was figuring out that making cheaper digital releases like bionic commando-rearmed or porting old classics like doom n' castlevania symphony of the night = easy money. Indie dudes was also getting their start on there with stuff like dishwasher, shank, charlie murder and all that. I do agree the xbox one was kind of a dud though. I bought one just to play gears of war 4 and that game was kind of a let down for me, =/ --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx More peeps on gamefaqs need to try the indie game cyber shadow. It gives NES era ninja gaiden vibes, which is cool. <cite>MadDewg posted [p:963383713] in I've never...
