Xbox Gamepass allowing most games to be played on PC. Newer smart TVs are somewhat game compatible. Will we hit a point where Microsoft stops making consoles?

They'll stop making traditional consoles. The Xbox ROG Ally handheld is the first step into what their future "consoles" will look like, which is just basically PCs with a game specific front-end menu. They've already confirmed this. Time will tell if this will be a winning strategy for them.

The OG Xbox was awesome in 2003. I remember playing some LAN Halo back then on it. After my room mate's xbox went through some.. uh modifications, it was a great for playing non-xbox games too.

Xbox 360 had such an improved controller, Wifi capability, and was overall just a better machine that also had at least partial backward-compatibility. I actually fired up my 360 not long ago. I will say that I am pretty disappointed that essentially all online features are gone. By comparison, though it takes some extra steps, my PS3 still can access the Playstation Store and stream Netflix.

General Discussion / Re: What gaming related trends...

Last post by retro junkie - November 08, 2025, 01:15:47 PM

This is not so much about "gaming trends that have grown off of me," but more of what I've grown into. When I first started gaming I stayed clear of RPGs. Reading about them sounded boring and dull. I thought to myself, yuk, who in the world would enjoy something like that? I am not sure what RPG that I tried first, or what came over me to even purchase one. But once I tasted of that genre, I was hooked by the story and the turn based gameplay, and of course the grinding. It was more like it expanded my gaming field. Final Fantasy 3 on the original Gameboy, Chrono Trigger on the SNES, Lunar 1 & 2 or FF 9 on the Playstaion 1, all of these set the standard for me. And I might be leaving some out, but not intentionally.

Out of the 46 games that I have for the console, Lunar is stealing the thunder from Animal Crossing. Even though I am slowly going through that game because I stop to grind for a while. I hate just barely beating bosses with half of my team crushed.

I try to not do digital. I want stuff I can hold. And
 because it's awesome to be able to play on the Switch!

I don't know what it is about the Switch, but I have the hardest time getting into that console. To me the design of the console is the same as the original Gameboy Advance. I have never gotten excited about it as I did the DSi, or the 3DS, or the GBA SP. I still favor those consoles above the Switch. I purchase games for the Switch, but continue to fall back to those other consoles.

I try to not do digital. I want stuff I can hold. And I would want this to play on the original hardware. It is just one of those things that I missed. Unless at some point Aliexpress begins to produce Neo Pocket carts.  It could happen. They have recently started having Wonder Swan carts. I haven't ordered any yet.

I hear you @retro junkie ... I'm mostly the same way as well.  There are certain Neo Geo games and other expensive games I have caved for digital because I wanted to play them but knew I wasn't going to get them for under $200-2000 (maybe $3000+).  BioMotor Unitron is one of those games... I will also buy digitally to play on the Switch... because it's awesome to be able to play on the Switch!

If my NGPC doesn't continue to live for whatever reason, I would like another platform to play on... BioMotor IMO is that good lol

@retro junkie — did you ever take advantage of this?

@targetrasp - should I even ask you this anymore!?  You know what I'm going to ask.

Biomotor Unitron is an awesome game.  I need to break out my NGPC

For me it's online multiplayer. I started out playing some NBA 2K1 on Dreamcast over a 56K modem. Then Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead came about. COD4: Modern Warfare is where I truly got hooked. Put in tons of hours on Xbox 360. I then moved on to Street Fighter 4 and Battlefield 2: Bad Company.

I just couldn't take the toxic online communities any more. Granted, there are some good people online and it's not everyone, but it just got so exhausting having to hear these people. Now there's at least more online controls to keep games fun but it just doesn't interest me much these days. I'll jump on something here and there on occasion, but it's not my main form of gaming anymore.

I'd rather just play a game on my own time with just myself and at my own pace. Feels good.
