I didn't care for their first party games; I bought the console bundled with the MCC and Halo 5; Halo 5 was a huge disappointment, and MCC just ran better on my PC. I feel like 343 doesn't get the universe they inherited.
There was just nothing worth playing that was console exclusive that I couldn't get on my desktop. With Playstation, they had banging first party titles all the way through the back half of the PS3 through to now with the PS5, and they are trickling them onto PC.
Ah, yeah that's all true. I thought you had issue with the console hardware itself, which seemed capable enough for that generation
Well, it did just eventually die on me. I had a power surge and that was that, it never started back up again. My 360 still works just fine though.
As far as power goes, it was perfectly capable on a hardware level, for sure. The games played just fine, it was just better for me as a set top box than a video game console as a PC gamer. I had bought an Xbox One X which was capable of 4k output, hoping I would have upgraded the TV. Now I have a FireStick 4k, and I hate it in comparison to the Xbox, it's such a piece of unmitigated garbage.
