Are your needs sated by ye old Xbox Incarnation One?

~~sausage~~ · 07-09-2009, 04:38 PM

I've only had my Xbox a few weeks now but already it's getting more playtime than my PS2.

Not for fanboi reasons at all; it's just that since getting ye old brick I've got some great games as well (KOTOR II, HL2).

I don't care what anyone says I think the Xbox looks GREAT. All dusted with a good brand of auto polish and she looks really grand.

PROTIP: use auto polish on your smooth plastics. Works a treat and repels dust plus it looks the business.

So hell yeah I'm sated.

Absolutely loved my old black box. Sure, there wasn't as many great games, and less variety of games, than on PS2 and not as many of those unique titles you'd find on Gamecube, but it still had some amazing experiences.

Like you said, the KOTOR games are great RPGs, Panzer Dragoon Orta is one of the most amazing and beautiful looking games I have ever played (good thing the gameplay was brilliant too!), and of course the brutal and rewarding experience of Ninja Gaiden. Not to mention most multi-platform games played and looked better on the box.

And you didn't need to buy a crappy multi-tap for four player fun!

Never had one, but that original controller was HUGE.

I got Panzer Dragoon Orta today in actual fact. Looking forward to giving it a go after I finish with KOTOR 2.... 55 hours and counting.

I hated the original Xbox with a passion. I'm not sure if it was because I was a hardcore Nintendo fan, or because the original Xbox was needlessly huge. Probably a bit of both.

Same. I was a Nintendo fanboy, and liked my PS2, and saw no reason for owning an XBOX. I won one in a competition, and rarely played it, whereas I played my GameCube a bit, and my PS2 to death.

Bit of a turnaround. I love my 360, never play my Wii, and don't even own a PS3! Well done, Microsoft.

Never had one, and never really saw the need for one because I had a PC. Only games I'd want on it would be Munch and Stranger, anyway.

Never had one, but 2 mates at uni did. Hated the controller.

That said the few games I've played were tops, and I've picked up a few that are BC with the 360.

I never bought an Xbox because the controller looked like a fat turd, holding fat turds is not comfortable.

fearofthesky · 07-09-2009, 07:16 PM

Just bought a new one (well, new for me) the other day. My old one broke ages ago.

It has House of the Dead 3 with the gun, the only Xbox game with gun support, I believe...

My housemate is addicted to cappin' zombies!
