Remembering Why He Loves His Xbox 360

A humorous article about an Xbox 360 owner who strayed away to the sites and delights of the Playstaion 3 and Wii, and what it took for the old girl to win him back.

"I need to apologize to you. I've been unfaithful lately. I was tempted by the alluring look and sex appeal of your younger, more expensive rival the PS3. I gave into the come-hither look of that little hand waving minx that is the Wii. They were new, they were hot. You were my companion for 18 months and I was bored, restless and looking for a little action. It seemed like you weren't that into me this summer so my mind wandered, my fingers strayed."

The wii is a scooter-It is all fun all day until your friends see you riding it. And it sucks to take your girl out and park next to a Fully loaded Dodge Charger SRT 8 and try to look cool getting off your two wheeled whip with your girl in tow.

The playstation 3 is a Farrari enzo-It has the sleek lines and attractive pose with a firecracker engine that promises what you want if you WaIt. But, why did that tricked out nissan z with half the cost is able to blow past you anytime any place.

The Xbox 360 is a warthog-It can pump out the power on the straight and smooth, rough and steep with hardly any effort but breaks down when going cross country in hot environments. It has alot of fuel and a beast of an engine capable of taking plasma shots pointblank from haters and continue hauling a55 creating envy in it's wake.

Obvious MS Fanboyism no doubt but the way he finessed it was clever, funny, and amusing. Good one Azeon, that was a nice read.

"For the record the author has all three Next gen consoles plus a PSP and DS. He isn’t a fanboy of any platorm or company because a good game is a good game no matter who his momma is." gCM

I thought it was funny too Dark. I was laughing at all the in-game references turned into an almost gamer-porn like love letter. Far better than the normal PS3 Sux Xbox is lAmE kind of tripe you read all the time.

redsymphony6828d ago

get real news GARBAGE!!!!!!!

Azeon6828d ago

Um pardon my naivety but it was labeled as an article and opinion pieces are included in that. It was a funny story. It is news in the sense that it discusses the spate of new games for the 360 that are clearly outshining most of the products on the other consoles at the moment. It was also well written. I've read enough other stuff here that basically boiled down to "PS3 Rocks MS Sucks" to think that it qualified. Am I wrong?

I've been wanted to revisit the game in the back of my mind for years and this is big. There's still a good handful of 360 games locked to the system I'd love to see now that the seal is broken on decompiling these games.

What these games need are remasters and to modern platforms. They're all unfortunately stuck on the 360.

MrBaskerville236d ago

They are available on series x as well. But would be nice to get them out even wider.

babadivad235d ago

You can play them on console. I have them loaded on my machine.

MrNinosan235d ago

Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and FFXIII Trilogy is actually the only reason I still have my Series X.

Terry_B236d ago

Hey Phil..Why didn't remasters and pc ports happen many years ago already?

ABizzel1236d ago

Because Phil and team seem to enjoy going to websites and forums to see what fans are discussing and wanting, to earn good faith points with post like this while they continue to offer the bare minimum.

TheEroica235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

Remastered and remake games are lame... A gigantic "we don't know how to evolve original thoughts" from dev teams cashing in on old ip.... Make new stuff or gtfo.

neutralgamer1992235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

no remasters and remakes provide those games to new audiences and improve the look/gameplay

Michiel1989236d ago

you can't revive what never lived

-Foxtrot236d ago

Then…remaster / remake them

🤷🏻‍♂️

After renewed interest you can get Mistwalker to do a sequel to Lost Odyssey

jambola236d ago

Poor Microsoft could never scrape together funds to make that happen

babadivad235d ago

Is Mistwalker still a studio?

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

The fourth game in the ‘BioShock’ series has been in development for more than a decade

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis296d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno296d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan295d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum295d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989295d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot295d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77295d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb295d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya295d ago (Edited 295d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG295d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.
