This is an Xbox lmao. But in all seriousness it is sad to see the Xbox brand go down the toilet like this but it did all start in 2013 with the Xbox one reveal. I remember when gears 5 came out in 2019 I was like ok I finally get an Xbox one x and then turned around and sold it as year later.
Insant buy for me because as an owner of a PS5 and Xbox One X, I’ve been using my Steam Deck a lot for gaming on TV using the dock. It works really well. This is just the dream version of that setup.
[...] I think I actually had an Xbox One X as a mid-lifecycle refresh, and when the next one came out and had a terrible name, pricing and storage situation, I threw up my hands and stopped trying to keep up.
[...] It's a Bethesda game, of course it won't fix any bugs. [...] I've run into issues recently (in June) with Fallout 4 where if your saved game data starts approaching 2GB on Xbox One x, saving the game will fail in weird ways (may hang the game, may crash the game). [...]
I owned an XBox One something. I believed "Series X" was short-hand for "Xbox One X", as I believed that there were maybe other kinds of "Xbox X". I even bought a game that didn't run on my console because it was for a "series" something, which was not actually what I had. [...]
Doubtful anyone noticed, but I've been somewhat quiet here for a while now. Not for any particularly serious reasons, mostly just feelings of apathy towards social media. Also, I haven't been using my CRT too much as I recently got a used Xbox One X which has been surprisingly fun.
[...] It was the first game I played when I got the Xbox One X, seeing the 60fps on it was pretty amazing back then. [...]
I bought an xbox one x for that when I was better paid, that's how excited I was, and... yeah. didn't grab me and the xbox died suddenly so I can't even play 360 games on that one now oops thanks sega I guess
the xbox one x was broken btw i have been using it for parts lol
First console played: PS1 First console owned: PS1 First console that made me properly fall in love with games: GBA First console that was just mine rather than shared: DS First console I bought with my own money: GameCube pre-owned, Xbox One X new
For context, I haven't really cared that much for Xbox ever since I got my Xbox One X and just didn't feel like I needed to buy games for it when I had my ps4 ready to go. Also my wife was upset when I bought a game for my Xbox and she wanted it for her ps4, so we had to go and buy her a ps4 copy.
I bought an Xbox One X last month for £100. Most games in CeX are <£5, with a huge chunk of my old 360 and original games also playable, I've been really happy to explore the previous gen. That, plus my PC runs the few current games I do want to play.
Thanks to past Maxy, I own the Biohazard Revival Selection, as well as an Xbox One X to play it on. So that's how I'm going to learn how to speedrun Code Veronica, because it's the only Japanese copy of the game I own! I am the first person to learn the game via this method lmao twitch.tv/maxylobes
this is an extremely correct take but it will never not make me happy that I bought an original xbox-styled skin for my xbonex and I am looking directly at an xbox 1 xbox one x surely this was all worth it
[...] I bought the PS4 pro and Xbox one X and don’t regret that. [...]
Yeah I own an original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One X, and an Xbox series X So yeah I have played Xbox exclusives before
when I bought an Xbox One X I didn't really know that I even intended to keep it- the move to officially release PSO2 in the US and do an exclusive beta was enough to make me curious, and I kept it cuz I liked it. did another console do "nondescript but attractive home theater equipment" so well?
[...] I recently picked up an Xbox one X, the late performance boost to their last generation. Firstly, the performance to price ratio is brilliant nowadays, when you get title at native 4K it is a really neat little thing to see. [...] But the system software quality is absolute rubbish. I have never seen any other system just trip over itself for just random reasons, it can be UI hang ups, installation issues, network connection issues, that it is constantly pinging their servers just to do basic things, endless random crash outs or any manner of similar problems. [...] I mean once the software is going in a straight line, you can see the magic but the amount of junk to get to there is comical. [...] Yeah MS has always had a history of software quality problems but this feels very different. [...] Oh and their online web potart is some of the slowest most bug riddled trash I have ever seen online.
So i bought a Series X after my Xbox One X died yesterday … this is the picture i got after switching it on. We are off to a great start 😫 … and i only want to play some upscaled 360 Games orz
I bought my first ever standalone movie player this year when I was looking to replace my XBox One X as a 4k player, concluding that neither of the current gen consoles were worth the several hundred dollars more I'd be spending. I've used consoles for movies since the PS2.
Maybe I’m just a little too connected. I’ve got a video game going on my XBox Series S, ASMR massage vids on my XBox One X, doomscrolling on my iPad, the Artemis 2 splashdown on my iPad mini, and texting a friend on my iPhone.
Exactly. I have both PS5 and Xbox One X, but I still connect my Steam Deck to TV to play Hades II because the game hasn't come out on those two consoles yet.
what consoles do you currently own? ° DS/DSi/3DS ° Nintendo Wii ° Xbox One X ° Nintendo Switch I've had more but they broke :(
sometimes i hate my own brain i was editing my main channel video then thought of a 2 second bit i bought a used xbox one x just to record the bit in game, i don't think ADHD is the only thing i'm rocking lads
Yeah, same, but I thought a nice way to burn all my points and be done with Loblaws was with an Xbox one X and a nearly 100 percent bonus offer. I've used points there for a Kobo before too
I grew up with a 360, and knew about the drive on the original Xbox One, but I really could not tell that my Xbox One X had a disc drive. I don't know how I missed it.
[...] I have an Xbox One X and there is no disc drive. [...]
