What do yall think of the 360?

I think its quite fun, but I do not like how ms fucked the entire dashboard up.

Atleast 360s are modable though.

I don't like it much anymore. A lot of the good games are better on other platforms. I appreciate what it did to the FPS genre but I much prefer playing COD4 and Far Cry 3 on PC with a mouse. Other gems like GTA 4 and 5, I play with a controller but I still use PC cuz of the modding capabilities.

Modding the console seems nice but it requires micro soldering so its not so accessible.

The store was region locked so I couldn't even buy any games I wanted before shut down. Paying for gold was shit back in the day.

The controller is mostly good but the battery holder gets loose over time and that sucks.

That being said I still have it and I play on it every once in a while. Not a bad console, I should probably get it modded soon

not much of a gamer, but I always liked the playstation aesthetic more. Like, ps2 is the whole galaxy and xbox 360 is just green.

i'm with the others here. it's a fine console, just not my personal favorite. (ds, dreamcast, ps2.) probably because i didn't spend as much time with it.

The controller sucked ballz but it was overall a good console with a very nice library of games for it. Compared to its competitors (the wii and ps3) you can see how the american idea of a game console was more software and service oriented vs the more hardware focused japanese mentality. But that's also partially down to MS being a software company compared to Nintendo and Sony which have a legacy as toy/gadget makers

I honestly liked the controller it just felt really good in the hands too bad the Dpad was shit and was basically useless

At the time I generally despised it for embodying the casual dudebro brown 'n bloom, middle schoolers squeaking into the mics in online lobbies crap of the 7th console generation but these days I look back on it more favourably since the xbox line and the video game industry generally got worse 0_e

Now that you mention it the ps2 was actually the only 2000s console with a good dpad. Even if you really stretch it and count dreamcast as an early 2000s console, it's still just ps2. PS3 was arguably ok since the controller was almost the same as PS2 but Sixaxis and dualshock 3 controller buttons always felt looser and jankier to me.

the only reasons to own a 360 are that one: some good games have dogshit performance on the ps3 because of the half-assed porting, two: the female xbox avatars are cute, and three: system link. it is in almost every aspect a worse console. one of the exceptions to this rule is that it is easier to do save editing on xbox because of the ps3's weird copy protection thing. as other users have mentioned, the controller sucks. the vibration is subpar, the face buttons and bumpers are unsatisfying to press, the dpad is the worst i've ever used and the triggers lack resistance and are too thin, though they have a comfortable curve.

there's a treasure trove of exclusives on the 360, especially from japanese developers in the SHUMP and JRPG genres.

any particular ones you'd recommend? preferably with split-screen coop and pvp, and preferably NOT first-person shooters.

i am not a fan of the xbox 360. i think it is kind of ugly and the games are not for me. however, it does have bullet witch, which is like, the best video game.
