Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
So I just got a used Xbox 1...

I have the Logitech that most people recommend, the wireless feature is nice, but the control sticks on the thing fucking sucks. They have less resistance than the goddamn PS1/2/3 controllers and I didn't think that was possible. The Dpad is also terrible.
As much as I hate wires, the best thing to do is stick with the S controller, or the Duke if you'd like.
Have it on PS2.
I should really get around to playing that.
You hit the nail on the head. It might be an awesome game, but that kind of music.
It's one of the things I couldn't stand about Sonic Rush.
/Also keeps Cibbo Matto - Birthday cake on his iPod, at all times.
Nothing better than walking down the street, turning up the volume, and then rocking out to:
Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!
...as sung by a punk-ish japanese girl with a heavy accent accompanied by bass and drums. Just awesome.
Seriously though, I can understand not having the taste for Birthday Cake, (a song which I once heard described as "scorpions raping my ear", a description I felt apt) it's an admittedly niche song, but how the shit can you guys not love Koto Stomp, Hello Allison, or The Concept of Love? I mean those are just some freaking awesome songs right there.

I'M A TWITTER SHITTER
Yeah then you definately won't like JSRF. Since the music is by the same guy who did Sonic Rush and all...
And, I have to say. I love Birthday Cake.
Extra sugar, extra salt, extra oil and MSG!
Hell yeah. Best song in the game.
I maxed out my Xbox's hard drive once, but that was with in excess of 100 ripped CDs on there for custom soundtracks. I think it's actually impossible to just max it out from saves even if you have the system's entire library, have saves from them all and have downloaded all available DLC. That 8GB drive is plenty.
That reminds me, memory cards... you should be able to find 'em used, but they generally didn't sell well so they might not be easy to get. I don't recall hearing bad things about the third-party ones, but the usual caveats apply (I have two official MS ones). They're 8MB each, same as PS2 ones, but devs sometimes got lazy because of the hard drive, and Xbox saves are often far bigger than their PS2 counterparts for no good reason. And, as mentioned, some saves won't copy at all.
I'm also the only person I know IRL, and the only one I know even moderately well online, who has a totally unmodded Xbox - even more amazing when you consider it's a launch-day system and thus the easiest to mod. It's even stilll on its original Thomson DVD drive that works just fine, so it really is something of a rarity. I've got about 100 games for the thing and I'll never sell it even if the 360 suddenly gets 100% BC, which of course will never happen.
My 360 will run about 25-30 of those 100 games, so that part's all academic anyway.
But, yeah. I <3 my Xbox.
I'll second JSRF, Phantom Dust, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, and Panzer Dragoon Orta to every extent possible.
And it has a ton of great SNK fighters, like SvC Chaos, Samurai Shodown V(debatable since it's supposedly not the best version), etc.
I originally got mine for the Doom 3 CE, and I just picked up the must haves afterwards(I'd always wanted one for JSRF).
The two Fatal Frames are both Director's Cuts on XB, so maybe they're the definitive versions. That's the system I have them for, at least.
Slight correction.
And the lack of BC on 360 for my favorite games means I'll never get rid of my XB1 whenever I get the 360.
Welcome to the world on this side.
The guy was a dad buying it for his kids. I sort of felt bad about ripping him off.
Not.
Of course, with the 360 it's practically a necessity in one form or another.
In my opinion, its content is even beating the Virtual Console's right now.
Welcome to the world on this side.
The last few weeks have seen Alien Hominid (fully remastered in HD), Worms (same), the TMNT arcade game and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. This week it's Jetpac Refuelled, a remake/update of one of my favourite 8-bit home computer games. Double Dragon (arcade version), Gyruss, and Catan are just around the corner. And the back catalogue is solid too. It's just fantastic.
Recoil. I have so much respect for you.
I have the entire JSRF soundtrack too... And years later it's still in my regular rotation. A crying shame we'll never get a proper sequel to the game.
