OG Xbox!
I have never been so hooked on gaming as I was hooked on the og xbox. That is the pinnacle of my gaming experience. I didn’t even care for Halo 2.
I played so many games on the first Xbox. You have to remember, this was the generation that refined the crappy 3D graphics into something respectable. Xbox was the most powerful system of that new dawn. So I was coming out of N64 and going WTF!! I played the other systems but they didn’t hold a candle to the combo of physics, HD, and open worlds that Xbox delivered. When one of those three things was sacrificed the other two things increased in its place.
Ninja Gaiden Black is the greatest ninja game ever made.
Dead or alive 3 was the greatest fighting game of the generation.
I won’t list every game but I’ll say it was obvious that Microsoft was DUMPING money into it. As shady as that is on a moral level, it brought unbelievable value to me as the consumer.
