My last console was a PS2 (PC DVD's were still in limbo), ran GTA:SA and a shit ton of other games through it, then got back into PC games again.

That's rough, both Disney and Xbox faces not happy. Guess I'm looking forward to the unwrapping and final conclusions.

ADR3-N

Disney face was a smile, actually, haha. That's my smile when I'm feeling cheeky :P

I'm clipping the footage now. Seriously considering returning this ball of ass.

I brought an Xbox one once. More or less for the same reason you did though not so extreme.

I had it for 2 days before returning it for a full refund.

Its awful.

I always felt "backwards compatibility" was a strong term anyway .. unless somethings changed since I last looked it up its more like a "free download" if you previously own the game. And when it took me nearly 12 hours to download Killer Instinct, I didn't want to go through that bs again so I just got rid of it! I know I don't have the best internet connection. I thought I could bypass the whole download shite, or at least most of it because I brought a physical copy of the game but apparently I had to download the whole thing anyway- and it wasn't even very good ...

So yeah. "Sucks" is a good way to put it.

ADR3-N

Yeah. Only reason I might use this oversized paperweight is for twitch streaming when I actually get the next gen games. Ridiculously overpriced piece of shit. Or I may return the damn thing. I do know I'm keeping the 360 on hand.

I like the concept of the console but it looks like a stripped down Win10 machine without all the benefits of the operating system (which are few if any). More proprietary crap. I wish I had just bought a good gaming laptop with the money.

VicariousE

If you can return it, maybe you should? As long as you have a half decent video card ($100+) in a PC that was made recently, you should be able to play (and steal) AAA games no probs. Not fond of laptops myself, hate heated hands :p

ADR3-N

This is true but in my experience, PC has been pretty buggy. I'm able to run games like Skyrim already on moderate settings without going below 20 fps, though it occasionally crashes. I think I'll keep the Crapbox, if only for the simple reason I enjoy the console experience (not being able to cheat my way out of every level) and being able to chat online with friends while I play. The Crapbox has skype and Twitch now as well, which I find interesting.

Still, how hard is it for them to let go of the billfold, create a second partition with a modded 360 OS to recognize both the new hardware and disc/DLC, and stop trying to "emulate" it. Emulating in a virtual machine is even slower and doesn't like to recognize content not on the disc.

I have noticed it drops far fewer frames on the same settings as did the Xbox. The code isn't much cleaner though, and you can't take the damn thing apart. Basically, a stripped down Win 10 machine.

VicariousE

Oh so you've already tasted the sweet opium of online gaming then, and have friends in that ether already... okay. I guess I have too, before I had to leave home at least. War and politics make strange bedfellows...

Ah you know how fucked up consoles can get, at least there's some backwards support, that wasn't the case last century... at least used games seem to have held their trade-in values better back then :| Software emulation does suck balls, but adding cheapie legacy chips and engineering HW workarounds would've cut into their bottom line.

ADR3-N

This is true of backwards compatibility. I just find it funny, PC games don't have this trouble. Games of the last gen usually run just fine, sometimes better, sometimes worse, depending on if you run in compatibility mode or etc. Mac are the only ones getting screwed in the gaming department, unable to add ram or really do much of anything on the spec side of their overpriced, lower grade computers.

If I remember correctly, PS2 played PS1 games, PS3 also played PS1 games but not PS2. PS4 requires you to stream from PSN for high cost, which is why I refused to buy one. Now, the xbox is a younger system. Xbox360 played most if not all games from the original Xbox after a firmware download. Xbox One currently has very limited support of around 100 games, and if you already owned digital copies, unlike PS4, it will allow you to download those to your console. Unless you have Game of the Year editions of the games in disc format, however, it seems DLC will not work unless it's digital. That was a pisser right there. I may get the Fallout 4 bundle if I can. I already want to play that game.

My last paycheck job was working in an arcade, where I did practically everything else but fix and maintain them (but I did lol). Tekken 5 in the arcade ran much better than the console... too bad it only lasted 2 weeks before some shithead kicked the machine. Just goes to show there's trade-offs in every platform.

I'd really like to buy one of those 100-in-one game motherboards, cut n' paste a cabinet and controls together... get some bitchin speakers.... yup

ADR3-N

Too bad you couldn't charge people for an hour or two with a server of sorts with these games, or maybe rig them to work with quarters. Most companies would want royalties for their music or some other. Although, it would be nice to have one's own fancy home arcade. Sort of like a mom and pop diner, but full of dusty towering machinery and microwave pizza. Now that I think about it, if I'm considering, someone's probably out there doing it.

VicariousE

You know we should've been able to do that, since they were all rigged with Intercard readers and networked to display what got played when and by which card, also kept redemption points ... but that was about all it could do. But a regular arcade without the gamesofchance prizesticketspoints thing can operate with fewer ppl, just one attendant, and one to cook... though the cook would need mirrors to watch the counter :p Lol we had a proper bar pie pizza oven using a conveyor belt system, did a sweet job (considering the pre-made Roma dough, which still had to be set to rise, meh)
