Cell 692 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 The last few days have made it hard to be an Lemming, to the point where none of them can even bring themselves to log in anymore. I think we need a 'safe' thread where people can discuss the positives of Xbox without fear of ridicule. I'll start. Positive things about Xbox: 1) Owning an Xbox saves a shit ton of money, with no games to buy, there's no cost! 2) It encourages you to do other things (such as going outside in the fresh air, Similar to 1), with no games, there's no need to spend time in your living room wasting time on video games. 3) The bland design of the box itself means guest to your house may mistake it for a Bose speaker or inconspicuous TV set-top box, if people don't know its an Xbox you may avoid ridicule. 4) Finally, its amazing for the environment, you won't need electricity and the pesky carbon emissions that come with it when you don't have to turn the sucker on. Maybe Phil had it right all along. Remember guys, positive comments only. This is a safe space. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,460 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Lemmings don't be afraid, you're safe in this thread. You can share your traumatic soul crushing stories of expecting a game to be AAA only for it to score 4.0. Or the years long droughts that leaving you feeling like quoting gaming. You can vent here safely. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,318 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) True story, I was going through some boxes that were underneath my bed frame and came across the OG Xbox branded carrying case that I use to hold my Xbox 360 Elite. Opened it up on the side to see the side ventilation grill. I forget if I traded in my 2006 white X360, or if I gave that to somebody. I think I traded it in. I mean I never finished Gears 2 and 3. And I also want to play Mercenaries and the OG Xbox version of Splinter Cell Double Agent, which is a unique version. Maybe when I get my CRT tv setup and fix the screen warp, I will have it hooked up with my PS3/X360/Wii/WiiU Anyways, back under the bed it goes.

It used to be the best option but as more PC ports incorporate full Dualsense support, there really is little point in using a Xbox controller anymore. So I don't even think they get the W for that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Battaglia actually made that his biggest gripe throughout that video. So............like I said..................you're wrong. It doesn't "eventually" get fixed on PC. They literally leave it there for years. LOL, Jedi Fallen Order still has bugs on the PC...........that's right, the FIRST GAME Horizon ZD PC port still has frame-pacing issues..........that's right, the FIRST GAME Link to post Share on other sites
