I remember playing the crap out of my xbox360 when I had one. It had such a good library of games.
...is this retro?

Classic? What? I’m really that old?
BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Guys, these consoles are so old I’ve seen these kinds of memes since the PS4 and Xbox One days. I think its time to accept they’re retro

My first 360 game was FF XIII. Had a massive crush on Lightning.

BTW, I had to put all my media in chronological folders yesterday so Nova Media Player could see / stream it from my NAS correctly while I fix my Raspberry Pi / finally bite the bullet and install Proxmox.
Firefly, Harold And Kumar, Constantine, Austin Powers, Iron man 1, Matrix and bunch of other stuff circa 1999-2009.
It took me right back to people and places. And then it hit me -
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain”.
Fuck you for hitting me while I’m down.

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.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
To be fair, playing fps with controller has always been garbage.
umbraroze@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
To be fair to be fair, Portal on Xbox controller is entirely serviceable. You don’t need super fast precision control in Portal anyway.

That true, but the setup we are on can’t use a mouse. (Sunshine on Apple TV.)

They had Call of Duty 2 going on the in-store display setup at EB games when the console had just come out.
There was a line to play it. Lots of people standing around just watching what was on screen.
I remember thinking it would be impossible for games to ever look better than what I was seeing at that time.

SNES was peak and most evergreen due to the games being peak pixel art before everything went 3D. Nearly every SNES game is still beauitful. I tried playing some N64 games, and they are so ugly that they are nigh unplayable.
bilb@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
I’m with ya. N64/PSX is difficult. Don’t get me started on Saturn.
fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Retro but older.
fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 1 month ago
So not Classical Period or the Bronze Age?
Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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.
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I played GTA 5 on the 360. Retro my ass.
But seriously, I have started considering this console as retro. Going back to 2006 and beyond is when I started looking at N64 as retro and GC/PS2/Xbox as ‘the old’. Now PS4/XBO is ‘the old’ and well… yeah… its been 20 years.bigboismith@lemmy.world 1 month ago
GTA V is as old today as quake 3 arena was when battlefield 4 was released.

Oh shit. I recently got a core duo for Christmas so I can finally play Lego racers… Recently 25 years ago omfg.

This is where it started for me. Skyrim, F:NV, GTA 4, Midnight Club: LA, Project Gotham, Halo 3, and not to mention the countless classic re-releases on XBLA. To think I would actually get into verbal arguments with my classmates over the 360 v.s PS3 console war.

I pulled my XB360 out this week. Like many people living in the south, we were iced in for the last 4-5 days. As a way to entertain my toddler I pulled out the 360 and Kinect to play fruit ninja. He loved playing it and even beat my high score from the last time I played it back in 2015
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s been twice as long since the 360 released as it was between the PS1 and the 360.

Yes. Getting old is hard.
Just go with it and let the newer generations enjoy what you did.

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 a cheap 10yr old PC…
BlackDragon@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
Gears and Halo were the big exclusives for a long time.
Venator@lemmy.nz 1 month ago
They’re on pc now…

It isn’t retro because it’s beefy enough to not be emulated easily. And yes, by that definition, the Wii is retro.
MrKoyun@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Bad definition
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
The Switch is overall beefier and is emulated very well. Emulation is about the architecture and level of interest, not just specs.

Xbox 360 is easier to emulate than OG Xbox or Sega Saturn last I checked.

To be fair, and for all their other woes, Microsoft’s work on back compat with Xbox One / Series is a pretty incredible feat of engineering.
Too bad licensing means they’ve essentially run out of games to port.

I started playing burnout revenge yesterday. Then I got utopia the creation of a natio working for dos, Amiga and SNES. Classics babeeee!

When the 360 came out the Sega Megadrive 2 would have been retro
hOrni@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m considering a console as retro if they run on cartridges. All Xboxes are modern consoles.
mattyroses@lemmy.today 1 month ago
Switch?
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.

Well, Gears of War is about to be 20 years old. Twenty.
Peasley@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think it became retro when the 9th gen consoles started coming out.
To me, current gen is current, previous 2 generations are not retro, and anything older is. Many 360 models still had analog video out (as did the PS3 and Wii), so arguably it’s the final generation built with CRTs in mind.
