Oh my. You really aren't the smart type, are you.

Things do evolve, yes. When you played FF VII and enjoyed it, it couldn't have been due to nostalgia. You liked it because to you, it was great. The same for us people who enjoyed the Dreamcast. Yes, it's outdated now. That doesn't mean it wasn't a great system. It doesn't mean there weren't great and stallar games for it. And it certainly doesn't mean that those games can't still be enjoyed to this day.

You really have nothing to contribute, do you?

i call Final Fantasy 7 the best rpg game i'v ever played because i played it when it came out never did since than, If i play it now i would call it shit and outdated thats how nostalgia works baby.

Yeah, lol I'm very surprised people didn't know of it...sounds strange...I find it unbelievable unless you are where very very young or just a very unobservant person. I still have mine because I really like some games for it, and I never bought a xbox 360, and likely never will.

I got an xbox in 2002 and still have it with 48 games although i havent played it for about 6 years. Just like 360 it had the best multiplats (Ps2 games had worse jaggies than 3ds). All 4 splinter cell games could almost pass as 360 games and the smilebit game's Gunvalkyrie, JSRF and panzer dragoon looked artistically beautiful. It was a great console for it's time that paved the way for xbox360. My 10 favourite games were Ninja gaiden black, Jet set radio future, PGR2, Rallisport challenge 2, Halo 2, Splinter cell chaos theory, Blinx time sweeper, Fable, Burnout 3 takedown and Burnout 4 revenge.

Actually, the original Xbox suffered from bad ports of most games since the PS2 was often the lead platform.  Possibly later in the console's life they were better, but for the majority of it, they sucked.  Once Xbox LIVE came out though, the features of some multiplatform games actually favored the Xbox.  Even that took time, however.

All sports games, Ubisoft games and ports of games like GTA looked better on original xbox. The ram always played a bit part. Same in this generation for open world games. 

Quite possibly later in the Xbox life.  But honestly early in the Xbox's life, the ports for the Xbox were often inferior ports of PS2 titles. 

This was why ports typically sucked on the Xbox and the exclusives were so awesome.
