I’ll only accept a console is retro if you can emulate it playably on a phone.
So the PS3?
I thought it was called the 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.
You turn 360 degrees youre still walking towards it.
It was called 360 because they didn’t want to release an Xbox 2 when PS already had 3. So they came up with 360 bullshit because it’s kind of like 3. So now PS are conveniently numbered and I have no idea which Xbox is the newest.
Moonwalk away. Hee Hee.
Dunno if i’ve been whooshed or if you have a poor understanding of geometry, but have a good day either way.
It was a meme when the 360 got released.
Oh, mb then, TMYK
There’s an interesting looking hot dog stand just past it
If the 360 generation is retro than what is the playstation 2 generation or Windows 95/98 and Ps1 generation? Let alone the Super Nintendo generation.
Retro but older.
So not Classical Period or the Bronze Age?
It’s been longer from now back to the Xbox 360 release as there was from the Xbox 360 release to the NES. Not even the SNES.
Hey hey hey, don’t come here with your logic too make us feel old.
*you’re an aging men, henry!
Classic? What? I’m really that old?
I remember playing the crap out of my xbox360 when I had one. It had such a good library of games.
I played the heck out of my three faulty RoD Xboxes
Touhou mentioned 🗣 (i am pretty sure thats Sanae Kochiya from Touhou at the bottom panel)
I still have an OG Wii. That thing is a BEAST, even today.
My first 360 game was FF XIII. Had a massive crush on Lightning.
I was watching my roommate try to play portal the other day. He’s touchscreen generation. Never used a controller before.
It was a horrible thing to watch. Lots of “I can’t” shit you would get from a 6 year old.
To be fair, playing fps with controller has always been garbage.
To be fair to be fair, Portal on Xbox controller is entirely serviceable. You don’t need super fast precision control in Portal anyway.
The fuck you on about? Have you ever played Portal beyond the first rooms? You definitely need fast and precise aiming in Portal.
The fuck you on about?
May I enquire if you are completely informed on the topic?
Have you ever played Portal beyond the first rooms? You definitely need fast and precise aiming in Portal.
Have you played Portal on controller? I’ve played through the game twice on controller on Xbox 360 and with mouse and keyboard on PC.
Both are very much playable. You don’t need goddamn motherfucking MLG 100% 360° 720° noscope quickscope blaze it mtn dew it skillz only attainable through rarest of gamer mice and finest of mechanical keyboards. It’s perfectly serviceable on controller. That was my point.
Still have mine hooked up for the kinect
Did x360 even have any exclusives? I think most games released for it came out on PC too, so you’ll have a way better experience playing them on PC even if it’s a cheap 10yr old PC…
Blue Dragon.
Gears and Halo were the big exclusives for a long time.
They’re on pc now…
I’m considering a console as retro if they run on cartridges. All Xboxes are modern consoles.
Switch?
Has game carts and SD card and internal storage are just different kinds of cartridges. 100% retro. Gamecube is the only modern console Nintendo ever put out.
My current annoyance: my Xbox 360 works just fine, but none of the controllers turn on while battery powered. (IR remote works, but it’s not exactly suitable for gaming.) And Xbox 360 was the pinnacle of Microsoft’s “well we have to do slightly incompatible shit just for the hell of it” attitude - you can’t just use a standard USB cable, it uses USB over a weird proprietary connector. (On the other hand, I’ve looooooved Xbox One and later controllers on PC, they have standard plugs)
My Halloween tradition is Bullet Witch - had to jank up the PC version to working state last year when I first noticed this problem with the 360 controllers.
Edit: Oh wow, I managed to find a 360 controller battery holder that actually works. Geometry Wars Evolved 2 status: got the first cheevo
You can also find replacement batteries online, though hard to say how easy the replacement will be. Wasn’t bad for ps3 or wii u controllers, but no idea how ms approached it.
It’s 21 years old this year 😭
Take solace that old != obsolete.
I still play Just Cause 2, Fallout 3 and a bunch of 360 GOATs
That’s older than the NES was when the Dreamcast was released.
