Not many people talk about Otogi, that game rocks.
I would love it if From Software did a remastered collectionSo I started this game today. Its a RTTP, because I had this game, way, way, waaaay back. In fact it was the JP version in 2003. I really wanted it, couldn't buy it and somehow got it on my Xbox HDD back then (something Evo dashboard). I liked the first a ton and this sequel didn't disappoint either. But I think I only played about 6 or 7 stages, waiting for a localization which eventually came but I had moved on by then.
Now I have it on my XSS, and I want to beat it. Its fucking great! Its a classic game. Single player, no online bullshit. Choose your character and loadout and go...

I tried not that long ago. I beat Otogi 2, and despite the 4:3 and camera, I really liked it.
The problem is because Xbox wasn't as popular as PS2/PS3, progress towards Xbox emulation isn't as fast.It would be really nice if they get that xemu emulator working right. Taking forever.
Otogi 1 and 2 are backwards compatible on Xbox One.
Yes. Xbox was great then. Basically designed without the confines of profit and infinite growth. Gave us a taste of "just making cool things because we can" rather than what we have now, where everything has to be an infinite profit gambling box that carefully skirts the edge of law and ethics.This thread is just another pathetic excuse to try and hide behind wanting discourse, but really is just an excuse for saying how good Xbox was and how terrible they are now.
To make out that platform warriors weren't around until the internet age is just as silly and wrong as making out they weren't bullying until social media. Both went on in the school long before the internet age or even the console age; I remember ZX Spectrum fans in my Junior school making fun of the one kid who had a C64 and calling him Billy No Mates

I'm enjoying gaming more now on the Series X than at any time since the 32-bit age, that said, I've enjoyed all the generations of gaming.I think they're all terrible now. Playstation is my console of choice but it's basically just a multiplatform machine. Lol, even the ps4 blew it away in terms of what the sentiment in here is all about--exclusives, and ps4 was a step down from the others.
In a way, if we're just looking at that, xbox at least has more ways to play and platforms. Playstation has been reduced to "we promise games are coming" whereas by this time in the OG Xbox life, it absolutely decimated ps5/XSX with exclusives.
Nintendo is the only real platform keeping that going, and even they've faltered or, if you're like me, you just don't prefer their games.
Curiously they choose not to judge the PS5's library against the PS2's.This thread is just another pathetic excuse to try and hide behind wanting discourse, but really is just an excuse for saying how good Xbox was and how terrible they are now.

I never liked or got into the PS2 much myself. I'm quite happy with what's on the PS5 at the mo myselfCuriously they choose not to judge the PS5's library against the PS2's.
Fuck off with your spectrum you speccy cunt.This thread is just another pathetic excuse to try and hide behind wanting discourse, but really is just an excuse for saying how good Xbox was and how terrible they are now.

Seems you've still haven't left school or grown up....Fuck off with your spectrum you speccy cunt.
What kills me and hurts me the most in modern gaming is the death of lightgun games and Arcades
I love Arcade gaming so much
The dongle contains an xbe file that's loaded when the dvd player is loaded. So there is no dvd playback without it. Like you said it was all so they didn't need to pay licensing fees on every console unless you specifically bought the dongle then you paid along with some profit for MS.First thing that comes to mind (other than the size and weight) is the DVD Playback kit.
It always seemed like a scam. Was it possible spoof the dongle? Some way to trick the console into believing the dongle was present via clever soldering?
Did Microsoft have to pay 1 DVD license per console or something and this was their way or recovering the cost?
I was (and still am) unreasonably annoyed that such a thing existed. Fight me.
Edge gave Halo 10/10.
Instantly made the console a must have. It did not disappoint.
And a secondary cost saving was that they did not have to build an IR receiver into every Xbox.The dongle contains an xbe file that's loaded when the dvd player is loaded.

Now, my favourite memory was when xbmp was released (Xbmc/kodi as know today) and comparing Xbox games to ps2 games at the time, fun timessplinter cell was a drastic difference in lighting etc… (I owned a fat ps2 also)
Then modding, to this day I still do stuff on the Xbox, I don't play games I code for the system. Xbox softmodding tool, xbmc4gamers & xbmc-emustation are 3 of my projects I update/maintai
