Can we all agree that the OG Xbox the greatest console of the 6th generation?
>Best hardware out of them all (ps2 and gamecube)
>Graphix wise there's just no comparisson, games looked alot better
>Some of the best games of that generation: Halo 1 and 2, Ninja Gaiden Black, Forza, Jet Set Radio Future, Blinx, etc.
>Softmodding = emulators: Snes, nes, mame, neo geo, cps2, gba, n64, ALL running at a native speed

dreamcast was best 6th gen
Xbox was Dreamcast II
eat shit. It had the best Shenmue and Panzer Dragoon
ma nigga
get fucked xbox version of shenmue 2 is god awful
Not even close. It's so shitty no one even cares to make an emulator for it. Inb4 muh architecture
Other people played blinx? Holy shit that game brings a lot of memories back. I never knew it was a game that was well known in the least.
the fat PS2 remains my favourite
>install a HDD
>could soft-mod it so it would read ISO images straight off the disk
>the biggest library of games out of the three
I still miss the OG xbox though, best interface, great controller, really solid online and just felt like a solidly built device.
Xbox had the best hardware, controller, online, and exclusives. But PS2 won the gen by having the best third party games. Quality hardware, online and software don't matter. This is the lesson Sony knew from the beginning. Nintendo and Xbox keep failing because they focus on quality. Sony knows quality doesn't matter. Sony tries to have the lowest quality and that's why they win.
>out of the three
you mean four
Implying PCucks aren't just too dumb to make good emulators for alot of consoles.
Dude, Halo 1 and 2 are already on PC. People care about the rest of the exclusives so little there's not even an emulator for it.

>memelords thinking PS2 was planned garbage
It launched a lot fucking earlier then the competition, chaps.
It had too many low-quality games for too long in its lifespan, but if you were to get one and stock up on games now then yes.
PS2 in comparison also had shitty early games, but that quality shot up really fast.
Anyone have any third party controller suggestions that are good for the emulators on this shitbox?
I tried the Snes games and they felt AWFUL with the xbox controllers
Multiplat were generally under-optimized as they were almost all PS2 lead, hence the power was not seen often. Original controller sucked, though the S was the template for all competent modern controllers. The viable roots of console online gaming started here---for better or worse. Game library was solid, Microsoft really got their 1st party effort in line towards the end of the console's life. Steel battalion is still a life affirming experience.
7.5/10 console. I got it really late--like the last Summer before 360's launch. I'd still put PS2 in front of Microsoft's debut in terms of cultural impact to gaming, DVD media and the mainstream culture in general, but objectively a close second.
>The viable roots of console online gaming started here
t. i never played PSO on the dreamcast
That's not the reason---even the fuckin' 3DO has a viable emulator. It is the architecture but more so the lack of documentation--leaked or otherwise--that prevents emulation
Damn shame, once the imaginary emulator went through a few months-to-years of refinement, playing JSRF at 1440p sounds like nirvana.
PS2>Xbox>Dreamcast=GameCube.
Dude. I owned an Xbox and only an Xbox that generation. But the PS2 stole that generation and a nice chunk of the next one easy. Stop being a faggot.
>Dreamcast
>viable
Come on now---XBL infrastructure was way more important the PSO--which I did play and love on the GC
dreamcast online was viable dude. hell, microsoft even helped sega make it.
PS2 faggot here, but before I had my first(and only) PS2 I played on one of my uncle's Xbox and another uncle's Gamecube. I have to say, that no matter how much fucking fun I had with my PS3, nothing comes close to the entertainment of the PS2, XBox, and game cube. Holy shit where those shitboxes fun. And the fact that my OG fat PS2 still plays ace combat 4 to this day while I had to send my ps3 for repairs this month proves that the 6 gen consoles where the best gen consoles. Memory full? Just slap in another memory card and you are set baby! You can argue all you want about which one was better, for me, all 3 of them where the best!
The Xbox was a great console, too bad Microsoft killed it so early.
switch ps2 and xbox and its perfect
