Although Xbox One X does a great job of emulating choice titles in 4K.

Still the definitive version imo.

>>7082286
Gunvalkyrie is over hyped. Controls were a hassle to learn.
Outrun 2 2003 (not exclusive but best version)
Morrowind
Riddick is also over hyped
Shenmue 2. Not as good as the original but still fun
Sid Meier's Pirates. Now this is a quality title you got to pick up.

rate, hate and comment my current collection of xbox hueg games.

>>7082294
Was there ever a game that did first person hand to hand well like breakdown?

>>7082286
Grab some Dramamine and a bucket and try to master Breakdown. Almost too Japanese for its own good, but an amusing shooter/fighter/adventure with a super-weird time travel and alien-threat story. The gameplay is what kept me interested, but the story kept me playing until the end.

>>7082337
For fuck's sake, I didn't even see this before I posted.

>>7082440
Hexen

>>7082361
7.5/10

>>7082286
DOA2 and a handful of Sega games. Elder Scrolls III.

Hack that shit, add extra RAM, and play arcade-exclusive games like VC3 and Ghost Squad (I know it had a Wii port, but this would be arcade perfect).

Get:

Spikeout Battle Street
JSRF
Shenmue 2
Breakdown
Genma Onimusha
Panzer Dragoon Orta
NG Black + vanilla NG with the two hurricane packs if your system is modded

Avoid:

Dino Crisis 3

>>7082286
Conker
Halo
Jade Empire

>>7082286
Choose your destiny...

>>7083317
>all pc
I have a pc for that though.

>>7082292

>>7083445
How is the Ninja Gaiden PC port?

Gun Valkyrie
Steel Battalion
Outrun 2
JSRF
Crazy Taxi 3
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Metal Wolf
Conker
Halo
Ninja Gaiden Black

As someone who has never owned an Xbox in his life and has played maybe 2 hours of it ever, did the original Xbox have any exclusives that were good besides Halo? The only ones I remember were Blinx, Voodoo Vince, and Grabbed By The Ghoulies, which were not great. Growing up I really only ever saw the Xbox as the #1 choice if you wanted the best-looking version of a multi-platform game.

>>7083663
see these:
>>7082294
>>7082301
>>7082302
they're the best ones you can start with, exception being SMT Nine since it's not fully translated yet, but you can use a guide or translator app for now

also steel battalion is fucking expensive, especially now:
>>7082320

>>7083712
I hate myself for selling my controller 5 years ago for rent money. I got more than I paid for it tho.

>>7082294
So happy to see Phantom Crash on these lists lately.

That guy who searched for a XBOX arcade stick you here?

i will recommend Blood Wake since im the only person who ever does so. it's like ace combat but with boats

>>7083663
Dungeons and dragons Heroes is one.

>>7083663
I don't want to play the not so great looking version of a game on console. Yes, Xbox is the place to be if you want to play the better looking versions of most if not all of third party games.

>>7082361
sonic heroes / 10

>>7082294
Great list from reddit there. Glad you put some effort into curating and recommending stuff with some actual impressions.

>>7084512
Go back.

>>7084629
I thought of the exact same thing when I saw that Brute.

>>7082286
Ya gotta pic up the gta 3 and vc collection best versions of those games

>>7082361
Not bad, lad.

>>7082286
Not retro and a very forgettable system. Literally nothing exclusive that you can’t get on PC.

>>7083712
Is Otogi worth trying to hunt down? Im all things FromSoft so the appeal of it is very intriguing.

>>7082357
GunValkyrie is godlike and having a learning curve is part of the reason why

Murder on the thumbs though

>>7082361
jajaja/10

>>7082546
I love that game.

>>7083717
I hate myself for selling my Xbox for date money. I got laid, the girl was way above my class. But now I’m filled with hollow memories of sex when I could have my old friend Xbox. His memory lives on in my series X I suppose.

Can I use component cables without modding?

>>7082286
Blix 1 and 2
Breakdown
Crimson Sea
Gun Valkyre
Jet Set Radio Future
Otogi 1 and 2
Panzer Dragon Orta
Phantom Crash
Phantom Dust
Stubbs

>>7083298
>Spikeout battle street

Hey I remember that from X-Play

They hated it and gave it a 1

>>7086731
It's a very difficult and punishing game that requires you to learn the system inside and out, so naturally game reviewers/journalists hated it. Same thing happened with God Hand, though at least that game gives you continues. Spikeout is like trying to 1cc an arcade game except you can't put in more credits.

>>7082286
Amped 1 and Amped 2. best snowboarding games.

>>7086012
>his

>>7082286
From the top of my head...
Exclusives I like:
>Halo (obviously)
>Jet Set Radio Future
>DoA 2 Ultimate
>Ninja Gaiden Black (even if I suck at it)
>Knights of the Old Republic
>Republic Commando (kino atmosphere)
>Mechassault 2
>Jade Empire
Avoid Phantom Crush, half the game is mashing the A button so the NPCs shut up. The game would be far better without plot, like if it was mecha Gran Turismo.
Multiplats I like:
>Gemma Onimusha (RE with samurai)
>Star Wars Battlefront 2
>Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
>Silent Hill 2
>Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance
>Colin McRae Rally 04 (the kinoest rally game ever made, with the possible exception of Sega Rally 2)
Avoid the port of MGS2, it sucks.

>>7087176
>Knights of the Old Republic
>Republic Commando
>exclusives
lol wut?

There's this old ass game called Enclave, really underrated/unknown, super challenging and gritty medieval combat system.

I remember thinking I need to buy the OG Xbox when it came out because my PC was a Pentium and couldn't run Morrowind

Definitely pick up the Sega stuff if you're a fan of the Dreamcast. Jet Set Radio Future and Crazy Taxi 3 are very fun and while in Japan and Europe it released on the DC, Shenmue 2 was exclusive to Xbox here in the states so if you're from the US the Xbox is the only way to play it without importing a console from another region or bypassing the region check on your Dreamcast somehow. Panzer Dragoon Orta is another good Sega game for the thing. Another good game you can pick up if you're a fan of racing simulation games is Project Gotham Racing 2. Game's famous for having possibly the best looking visuals on the Xbox as well as just being a stellar racing game. Halo games are obviously a must have for anyone looking to get into the OG Xbox. Another good FPS is Star Wars Battlefront 2, though I'm not sure if that was Xbox exclusive or not since I think it could have come out on PS2 as well. Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black are good too. I'd also recommend Conker: Live and Reloaded, but with a bit of hesitation. It's more heavily censored than the Nintendo 64 version, and many will argue the graphical style is kinda ugly and misses the original intention behind the cutesy, banjo-esque aesthetic of the original. Live and Reloaded has one big advantage over the original though, and that's price. A loose copy of the N64 original will run you about $77. A complete in box copy of Live and Reloaded will run you less than half of that price at around $34. If you have yet to play it and aren't willing to shell out that kind of money for the original, then Live and Reloaded is a fine enough way to experience Bad Fur Day. If you already have the N64 original and liked playing it, you should still go for Live and Reloaded just so you could experience it in a different way and be able to compare for yourself. If you just have no interest in platformers then I guess this whole spiel was useless to you.

>>7083639
>steel battalion
Unless you're using the based 40+ button controller, then avoid steel battalion. It's fun without it, but pure fucking bliss with it. The experiences can't even compare.

I remember a friend of mine had this third person game with lan multiplayer around 2003ish. In the game, some characters had guns but others had weapons like staves and swords. I only played it with him a few times so I can't remember the name of the game that well... any ideas?

>>7087361
It's a decent game.

>>7082348
It doesn't even output 240p. You're fucked in the head

>>7087382
>if you don't have the controller then avoid steel battalion. It's fun without it
You may be retarded

>>7088427
Oh shit you might be right. You can't play Steel Battalion w/o the controller. I was thinking Battle Engine Aquila. Thanks for catching that, God I feel like an idiot.

>>7086132
Cringe.
>>7087361
Literally horrible game.

Xbox fans are either LARPing or retarded. Probably retarded, sadly.

>>7082292
/vr/ however

what are the best (japanese) multiplats on xbox?

fatal frame is missing some effects compared to PS2. Xbox versions are the best otherwise, I suppose.

>>7091801
Can you produce a source for that claim? Not doubting you, just curious as to what's missing.

>>7091812
Not him but I found a speedrunner autist who said it depends on the version https://www.speedrun.com/fatal_frame/thread/unygh

Still own the Xbox I bought on release.
Actually own a couple of units.
The Duke controller is fantastic and made for large manly hands.
Great library of games.

Posted what I have to hand at the moment.
Have several games in sleeves and out on loan to the bros and Co. Such as...

Obiwan
Black
Soldier of fortune 2
Conflict desert storm
Brute force
Halo CE
GTA San Andreas
Need for speed underground
Spiderman
And more

I've also traded a whole host of titles and franchises over the life of the Xbox. None of which were a disappointment, simply due to circumstance.

Never bothered with the dvd kit... As I had a combi TV. (a bad choice on Microsoft part to begin with)

Didn't have broadband at the time so never had gold. (it be like that)

This didn't undermine the fun to be had as a stand alone console

My bros had PS2 and gamecubes so I never missed out in that respect. However I am still glad I bought the Xbox. Infact it was my first credit card purchase.

>>7091923
Oh thank god, I thought it was something
that actually mattered in the end.

Why are Xbox games so fucking cheap? It's insane how affordable most of the games are.

>>7083871
I have fond memories playing this with friends in high school.

>>7093814

About 3

I still like it for halo that’s about it
