Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360, my saviour in the current gen

It was a very good console, yeah. I don't know how I'd rank it but it's pretty high up there. Only the 3DS has a better library thus far from the consoles I've played. I don't know how underrated I'd say it was, though. It was extremely popular. I guess Xbox never got the critical acclaim or respect that Playstation did, though.

Just a question, but why don't you own a PS4 if you like the 360? It's pretty much the 360 of this generation.

X360 is in like a 5 way for the top spot, IMO. It's an excellent platform.

But, doesn't just about everyone acknowledge how great it was/is? I've never felt like it was underrated.



It's certainly Microsoft's best but it's not underrated ...

Honestly, compared to their predecessors, the PS4 and Xbox One just feel kinda uninteresting to me. It takes multiple "must have" games to get me to purchase a console and PS4/Xbone never got the killer apps that made me feel like "I need this system".

Also, the kind of games I'd get on PS4/Xbone I can get on 360 for a fraction the price.

I just don't get it. Why do you need 360 to survive this current gen? Ps4 got so many games that I don't even have time to play

It´s an amazing system, might even be my favorite after the Sega Saturn. It has some incredible games, great controllers and an intuitive OS.



It's very much been my backup console, and stable go-to as far as a steady flow of games I wanted to play. Wii was exciting and fun in its own weird way - but that was more of for the local multiplayer experiences, social gatherings, and quirky experimental games. A lot of its charm lay in the uniqueness of the games and the intuitive nature of waving around a controller and having that translate in game. Despite the impression I might leave, I'm actually far more of an Xbox gamer over the last decade or so than I Nintendo one. I'm something more of a retro brand of Nintendo fan than a modern one (although Switch has been a step in the right direction).

Didn't own a PS3, and because my PC was essentially useless for any gaming from the past two decades, 360 was my go-to more more traditional single player and online multiplayer games.

I've probably spent weeks playing on Xbox Live between the Gears series, Halo 3, COD, Borderlands 2, and others sprinkled in. Playing online for hours on end with my friends and cousin, those were the days man.. I still play some 360 on occasion. XB One is ok but it hasn't quite been the same.

But why battlefield hardline?

Kinda sick of military shooters, so wanted to try the whole cops and robbers thing for a change of pace.

I'm not gonna argue BF:Hardline was a masterpiece, but I felt it was an underrated game.

First of all, none of the BF campaigns are amazing per se. But the story telling in Hardline was unique, gameplay feels like BF so that's solid, you have the option of approaching enemies like a stealth game versus a shooting gallery in many scenes and even on last gen it has notable graphics.

Its a game that's fun in small doses and I will likely replay it eventually.

Some people will argue PS1, PS2, N64, or some other old platform is their favorite over 360.

However, I would argue none of those consoles have as much content that's worth playing/replaying than 360 and PS3. Some of the best 6th gen and older games were remastered for 7th gen.
