Hi. I am Italian unfortunately I do not speak English but I can assure you that I felt the same thing. Sony had killed my desire for videogames xbox and gamepass resurrected me. Thanks for your testimony.
This is exactly what the Playstation 2 era was, there was something for everyone and everyone could have fun together. We all remember how it was and how great it was and yet there are those playing Twitter Console War because "mah ps5 pro da bomb" heh Games were fun and not damn movies with movie level budgets.
@@TheRealist1.I'll be honest with you, They didn't give me that feeling. They gave me the feeling that Nintendo just copied everyone else's open world and put a Stamina bar on climbing. ( This doesn't mean I didn't enjoy playing them)
Your content is a breath of fresh air. It's so good to see someone articulate how it feels playing on Xbox. Sick to death of the doom and gloom from disingenuous grifters and media outlets that are bought and paid for.
Thank you for saying this. Every year, year in and year out I read media outlets tell me how awful things are going for Xbox and telling me how much fun I'm not having. Then I think about the year and realize wow I've had another good year of gaming. I don't mind if someone's favorite games are on another platform. That's fine. Celebrate that. But all the doom and gloom and media desperately trying to convince me they know what to think.
Yes i have enjoyed the first Halo on first XBox! That was mindblowing for me. Never such a good game with such a huge step in Gameplay and Graphics was coming again🖖
Dude, you can always have that feeling, one of two ways: A) obviously if you haven't played it in years. 2) (my favorite way) experience your child, sibling, nephew, niece, cousin, or a friend's first Halo moment by co-oping the game with them. 😅
@@mrbunngle3866 Yes, good old Games have great Storys and Endings. Was another time🤩🖖 Today it is allways same shit, most of them are only versus-multyplayergames with 1000 different but actually the same weapons, or big, bigger(...)OpenWorld. Without any real Story or cool Movies💩
You do know Alexx admitted to Puerto Rock, the only reason he does positive Xbox content so often, is cause Xbots pays the bills better than Ponies? Right? lol All of them Fritanga etc.have said the same, it's just you bots have nothing, & refuse to see it is all. #highfive🤣🤣🤣
dude having a blast playing halo mcc is a throwback for everyone who had been there and done it already, and remember folks we are getting everything on pc as well.
I'm a PC guy now, so I can't speak for the modern console experience, but I'll say this, there's a reason fans of multiplayer games always reminisce about those old Xbox Live lobbies and not the old PlayStation ones.
Oh I don’t know, the most fun I’ve ever had was the Resistance series multiplayer, 40 on R1, 60 on R2 and the 8 player co-op in R2 was awesome. Had some cracking KZ2 MP evenings too.

You are going to love, love, love the Gears of War series. I know because I’ve just come to it in the last year. Me and the Mrs. have had such a blast with the series!
@@IDarKVorteXXOfficial we’ve played 5, 1 and 4 in that order, but we are looking forward to playing 2 and 3 soon. The Mrs. preferred playing as Jack in 5
When I was 20 I rented a big old house with my friends and we all had Xboxes. Xbox Live did not exist yet but you could link up to 4 Xboxes together via Ethernet cable. We had the hub in the wall and wires fed into everyone’s room. 4v4, 8v8 games of capture the flag at Blood Gultch all the time. The only thing we were missing was voice chat, we had to get up and go into the other room to talk shit lol good times
This is how I feel when I turn on my xbox. There is so many games so many different types of games. My man I recommend the game Psychonauts 2. It took me back to old games to my childhood. It has comedy amazing world to experience.
@@Jenkins275 one of the few games i have with 100% full achievements on steam it’s that good, i would had it completed on xbox too if i didn’t had too many games to play on it 😂
@@Jenkins275 I never did play the first one when it came out. I did try and go back and play like you, but I just couldn't myself. It was probably great back when it was released though. Of course a lot of older games are the same way.
You honestly can't beat the feeling you get from experiencing a moment in coop or a multiplayer game. Especially, when you have worked so hard to overcome an enemy or a challenge together. It really is the best and I'm glad you are experiencing it!
Dude all you Xbox fans have been trying to shit on playstation for having cinematic games for years now... now it's the reason you like Xbox fuck off lol
Ok i dont agre with, and please dont call me sony fanboy cause tgis is my opinion and of course exploring, graphic detail are awesome and its really feel like indiana jones but gameplay ok fight mechanic is good but enemy ai its so terriblethey have no eyes sorry i cant accept people who made wolfenstein cant do good gameplay and ai for me this is so terrible.
@@razor15593 I don’t think anyone asked lol. But that’s fair I’m still early in the game and the AI seems fine to me at least. There’s few games where the AI is actually great
You don't even need XBOX, just put ""its fun"" lolol Finally someone said it and enough people are finally catching on. Especially him shining a light on quick resume!!!!
Gears of War will change your life. Especially when you get to Gears 2 and beyond, and you and your wife can do Horde mode. Thanks for giving me the nostalgia of playing capture the flag in Halo 3 on Valhalla. So many funny stories with my xbox live friends. Things happened in Halo 3 multiplayer that we still talk about 15 years later.
You are right about the overall vibe of the flagship games for each console being different....its no slander on the brilliant playstation titles either. Everything has a time and a place, look at Nintendo....their software is even further removed in vibe and design compared to xbox/ps...but its great fun, same as the other two. Some days I want to play Halo, others Last of Us or Mario Kart. We are lucky to have so much choice🥰
@ronniepatterson2827 Xbot? Fam, we are gamers. Not some hoofed mare running around neighing. Ponies are the most embarrassing fans in existence. Also, learn to spell.
Quick resume, backwards compatibility, developer mode? Xbox is such a better experience than playstation i dont care about your $70 spiderman game@ronniepatterson2827
I enjoy your videos and reminds me of all the fun times with my friends when we had LAN parties playing Halo. We started with 2 Xbox consoles and 2 TVs playing with a crossover ethernet cable and then expanded to 4 using a router. This was all pre-Xbox Live, but the feeling was all the same
Videos like this make me cheer on Xbox in these days of confusion about the direction the company is taking and the “beating” they are taking by PlayStation Good on you bro to be all about the game experience Happy New Year!
The day i put my hand on xbox 360 was the day i never go back to other consoles , the coop.games and the multiplayer change my life . The first time i play gears of war was like see something new in all those years playing ps2 and gamecube and ps3 , that moment that i was playing gears of war was the moment i never go back to play playstation games.
Heh why u just dont buy xbox ps and nintendo, everywhere are good games for example i love forza horizon and gears but i love too zelda, bloodborne(my best game ever) and i have episode with tlou fractions i play this mode 800h and fractins and bloodborne are most plated games on ps, tlou 843h blodborne 630h.
@@razor15593 Why should anyone have to own multiple pieces of hardware, for specific software? Why can't people just play the games they want, on the software they want?
Honestly brother i switched to xbox when my friend showed me Gears of War in 07 and said we can play online TOGETHER... that blew my mind, been with xbox ever since. party chat, Halo 3, 4 player co-op was some of the most chaotic fun ive ever had in gaming. Love your energy
Love seeing your experience! Halo and Gears are the epitome of fun, and so great to play with family and friends. Have a happy new year of Xbox and welcome to the family.
i dont know if you have noticed this yet, but the xbox also downloads the correct version of a game for the console u have and there is no uploading ur save nonsense between consoles
I have a PS5 and absolutely love it. I'm mainly a single player, campaign player, so the PS5 is ideal. BUT, I absolutely LOVE the Halo and Gears of War franshises, so I'll be getting a Series X in January 2025. Prefect Dark, Fable and Avowed look brilliant. I can't wait to jump on board...💥
You explained it perfectly. I've been on Xbox from the beginning & you nailed it. This is something I've always noticed. When I'm on Xbox it feels like it's live. Like I'm connected to a community. Like things are going on. Like there's activity. Even though now days I mostly play single player games, I know I could be in a party chat in seconds. Where this feeling just doesn't exist on PS. It doesn't feel live. I believe this is just the atmosphere Xbox created by being the first with online gaming & encouraging multiplayer & group experiences. Oh, and happy new year, bruv!
Halo will always hold great memories for me hooking up 4 original xboxs 2 consoles upstairs two downstairs 8 vs 8 multiplayer 4 tvs pizza and beers was a real taster of what was to come with halo 2 on xbox live. as great as xbox live was with the voice and party chat and games like unreal championship, pgr 2, ghost recon, rainbow six 3 when it launched we still held local lans on friday and saturday nights playing these games just for the shear social aspect with mates. Just to think back with not having a smart phone in sight, no distractions then just all of us together having a blast, it was fundamentally the reason why we all still game on xbox the social interactions that were built from day one, quite simply the memories we have are priceless.
If you can find a copy of Left 4 dead 2 for the Xbox360, that is also an experience co-op wise that its unforgettable. Having played it on pc ofc its way better on steam, but we are talking couch co-op.
You really nailed it with this one. I’ve tried to explain to people why I always stick with Xbox even though I own a PS5… it just hits different idk how else to say it lol. That combined with GP saving me hundreds, it’s the go to soft landing for me and always will be.
Here's something else thats awesome coming from someone who has owned all xboxes and playstations....back compat. I have over two thousand games in my digital dating all the way back to the first xbox. And I can not only just play any of my old owned titles from past systems without a subscribtion, but if I have a disc I can just put it in and play it....and most of the old games has at least some form of upgrade, all OG xbox games run at 60fps and 4k, and a lot of 360 games have either res boost or fps boost and almost all have auto HDR....for games that came out before HDR was a thing. The reason Xbox didnt get the Red Dead Redemption remaster was cause it already runs at 4k 60 on the X and we didnt have to buy an upgrade....in fact 90% of the first party games when going to the next gen, got next gen patches, you know like the same thing Sony did with Ghost of Tsushima or Horizon or Last of Us.....but those patches were free on xbox. They upgrade the games for you on xbox and dont charge you more money.
This is because Microsoft emulates older hardware. If you've ever emulated on P.C. most of them, come with the capability to add these sort of performance enhancements.
I got a series X for Christmas to go with my PS5, and I'm absolutely enjoying my time with it. It was definitely odd at first, trying to get used to the controller and the Xbox ecosystem, but I think my brain is officially hardwired to both consoles. I love them both equally.
As a PC and Xbox guy, I also have a PS5 and Nintendo switch, I think he just feels this way because Xbox opened up a WHOLE NEW UNIVERSE of gaming for him, that’s all lol. That’s why wanted all platforms, so I won’t miss out on anything.
It's awesome to see someone enjoying co-op games. I love sharing experiences with my gaming friend, he never player Gears before, we played the original trilogy back to back and he can't get enough of it. I met him while playing Destiny and we've been friends ever since
I been saying for quite a while, even during the Xbox One generation we can all agreed that we know it was not the best console generation for the games and the hardware, but I still continued to play on Xbox platform. Two reasons, one the Xbox gaming community is absolute amazing, I love it and will never trade that up for anything less. The second reason Xbox games are just simply fun to pick up and play with your friends or on your own, giving me and everyone else in the Xbox community the freedom in these games to do what you want and use your own imagination playing these games. That is why I love playing starfield because it just a simple game but it's fun to play, you can make-up your own story adventure playing starfield, who do you want to be in that game, it's up to you. I love playing Forza Horizon 5 because it's giving me the freedom race and driver wherever I want I can set my own rules for myself in driving. The Freedom in these games, the fun that you can has been endless. Thank you, Xbox & the gaming community on Xbox.
This is a wonderful video. Hit me in the feels, sincerely. I'm happy you're happy, Sir Bruv. This reminds me of rediscovering gaming as a 37 y/o back in 2021. It was like I found a piece of me I lost only God knows when. And same thing; it was because of the Xbox. It was nice to get back that little sliver of innocence I felt when I was a kid.
I'm so happy that you finally understand the ridiculous HOURS we Xbox fans have put into these incredible experiences. So much fun with Friends online and the thought of just getting home and hopping online to continue the mayhem. You can't beat that feeling. Happy New Year! 🎉 We'll see you online Bruv. Cheers! 🥂
Like your excitement of being a gamer, who feels like a child again. 😊 Your video shows your joy and passion, of what playing games is all about. 😃 Feeling involved and in the moment of the game. 👍 It emotion draws you in, and your teammates are part of your life in that moment, too. 👍 Sometimes, we need to experience something different in your life, and Xbox Series X has given you a lease of gaming happiness. 😉 So do carry on mate with feeling of being excitement of gaming. 😊 Happy New Year to you and your family. 🙏
I’m very happy you’re experiencing what it is to just be a gamer and have something new. Like i said in the comments of a previous video of yours, i main Xbox, but when i got my PS5 it was so new and i was happy to play those exclusive games cause, i’m a gamer at first and just love video games. Each platform offers something the others don’t and it’s just amazing. Can’t wait for you to start Gears of Wars. The brotherhood between the soldiers in that game is just amazing
I can’t wait for you thoughts on gears of war, especially the first 3, they’re gonna blow your mind, also, give horde mode a good go, hours and hours of fun
Welcome to the world of Xbox. Not a bad place to be. I started way back when in 2001, carrying that giant VCR sized OG Xbox with breakaway 9.8-foot wired controllers with breakaways because, well actually should have been done forever, but safety. That thing was a brick ready to fall on a child, small pet, jubilant partier, etc. But seriously the Halo LAN parties before live were just magnificent. Carrying not only the console, but the giant CRTs that went with that era that weighed well into the 100s of pounds and then finding a way to get 16 people crammed into the mess of wires, TVs, chairs, ethernet switches or routers, Mountain Dew game fuel and pizza those were the days and no one with PlayStation could ever tell of experiences like that. I've been on Xbox Live since the word GO even getting the beta kit and begging for DSL claiming it was for schoolwork and there is nothing like it. I own all three systems of this era, Switch, Series X, and PS5. But I only bought the Switch and Series X and to be real, the PS5 just sits idle. Sure, Spiderman is cool, no doubt. But I had a Dreamcast and that Spideman game was also cool. I'm knocking 40 now, but it was my time with Sega that brought me into Xbox because being a Saturn/Dreamcast person meant I was already on the fringe of gaming and Microsoft kind of filled that in when they came into the field back in 2001. I've always liked the controllers better, the UI, everything. Went through the 360 years with a launch one with ZERO RRoD (yeah lucky somehow), and still own a 360 to this date along with the Xbox One X. My dad has my OG Xbox since 2001, the one with the recalled power cable even that had the replacement sent it was so early in manufacturing and it is just now showing signs of drive failure (probably due to dust because he does not store it well), at 23 years of age. It played my games, it was my niece's first games, it was my families machine. I've just had good luck I guess. Maybe we'll see each other on live sometime. Enjoy!
I love my Xbox Series X! Always trying new games, co op with wifey, single player, multiplayer, gamepass, rewards are pretty sick too! But then I remember there’s no games 🥴 😂
I've been on xbox since the og, had ps up to 3. I bought a ps5 about 4 months back. I still play my series x more. I've actually struggled to get into the ps exclusives, because they're more cinematic and cut scene heavy. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'd watch a movie. I'm persevering with it and it may click, but as of now I still boot the xbox up most. The fact that most of my social gaming is done through xbox also may play a huge part.
Your not wrong I had the exact same experience too I joined a community group n like a few hours later I got a message from my now mate Brian to play something but 3 hours later I was in a discord chat with 20 other people actually chatting over mics. That was 7 years ago and I still chat to these guys to this day, friends for life.. so cheesy lol but true
Happy new year, man! I know what you mean with the "fun" aspect. Xbox games don't try and look and feel like movies. They're more about the action and the the thrill of it. The adrenaline rush. Of course there are differences. Another thing is that on top of shooters and one of my favorite car games (Forza Horizon 5), most of the strategy games are on Xbox at the moment. On top of shooters, I really do like building bases, recruiting armies etc. and those games barely exit on Sony's platform. Age of Empires 2 and 4? Sign me up, baby! At first I was like "there's no way that'll be comfy on a controller" but I went and tried them and holy shit they've done wonders and I really enjoyed myself and had a great time. And when it comes to the exclusives you mentioned, another key factor is that whilst I know price isn't an issue for everyone, I'm not too keen on paying up 60-80€ for any videogame. Any. On the PC I usually wait a couple of years and buy my games between 5-15€ and what I've heard is that Sony's exclusives just stay costly. They don't really drop much below 40-50€ or something like that. That's just a no from me. Like what good is it that I'd have access to exclusives if I'm not even paying for them? If there's any costlier games I'd ever want to try out, GamePass has me covered there. From what I understood, Sony doesn't put their first party games on PS Plus, but Xbox puts theirs on GamePass day1. And a ton of non first party games get there as well. Day 1. Like there's no waiting or anything. So even tho' I'm not currently subscribed to GamePass, I actually prefer to have access to it instead of having access to a select few exclusives that have a price point that I'm just not willing to pay for any videogame.
I was playing Halo Infinite with my son till 3am last night. Yeah it's not as good as the others. But it brought back memories playing until the AM with my buddies. Xbox will always have that magic co-op feel online. Something That no other company can duplicate. Keep playing the entire Halo series mate, cheers!
Ngl man, was smiling through out while watching, its nice to you see someone just have fun and just game...and make wonderful memories with it... im introverted, sometimes dont even have the energy to talk on party chats lmao, but gaming, meeting and talking to other people, just share moments and memories together makes gaming 101% better for me... tbh, its the people that i met, made xbox feel like home...really happy youre enjoying your time here brother... bless you and your wife, she just didn't brought you gaming, she brought you home...💚🍻❤️
Playstation was trying to get a multi player culture built for a reason. It is hard to do. Games like Gears of War, Halo, and Forza Horizon 5 took many years to develop and make popular.
Halo specifically does the one thing NO OTHER GAME has yet done for me. Make me feel like I'm a kid playing with action figures. Halo in my eyes IS G.I. Joe and/or Transformers toys in digital form. I'll always love Halo for that. And I'm a 50 year old kid today because of Master Chief!
Hey man you Need to grab yourself Steam Deck next, I feel like your reaction would be priceless quick resume and Halo is there too if that helps sway you
From the inception of Xbox, Microsoft developed all of their games around Xbox Live. Online multiplayer was at the forefront of development. This is why Xbox games are so focused on community. Happy New Year Bruv!
@@aathmpsnI was part of O&R, a huge PS community of ‘Old and Rubbish’ players who had a riot, what a great community…. No wait, you’re saying that never happened? What about ‘the coffin dodgers’, another excellent community… that according to you, never existed…. Perhaps I dreamt all those fab times….
@@amnril PS doesn't even entertain the idea of co-op gaming. The last one was what, Sackboy? (Helldivers is a standout here actually 👍) Basic functionality of a modern console isn't proof that the consoles ethos is focused on community. It simply isn't on PS
@@amnril BTW: I said "focus".. the PS console simply isn't focused on community like it is on Xbox. Gamer groups existing doesn't negate that opinion. Their focus is cinematic narrative storytelling experiences. This is straight from Herman Hulst, you Bellend.
I bought a Series X, enjoyed it but ended up building a PC a few years ago (Mainly for work) and ended up selling the XBox. But I love how Microsoft arew intergrating the Xbox on PC, especially the community. I did have a PlayStation too but sold that as soon as their games started coming to PC. Whatever you bro's play on, as long as you are enjoying it, you're doing it right 👌
It’s funny how things change. Last gen I sold my Xbox one for a PS4 to play games like God of War 2018 and Last of Us 2. They were visual and narrative masterpieces and I loved them. But it’s all Sony did at that time. When I got around to Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima I was burned out. Horizon I tried to start like 5 times but got bored to death by the end of the first act. Ghost was fun but I dropped it like half way through the story. The formula just got old, and I felt bored playing through another cinematic game. Then on PS5 I felt Ragnarok was mid, didn’t even get to try Ratchet and Clank or Demons Souls. Sold the PS5 for Xbox Series X to game with friends and man… pure fun. I sometimes shit on Halo Infinite but I have more hours on its multiplayer than it took me to play all the Sony exclusives combined haha. The campaign was mid but the multiplayer is fun (needs more content though). And even though we all share the same third party games, the fact I can download dozens of them over Gamepass at no additional cost just makes it more fun and accessible than PlayStation. Gamepass is wild. PS Indiana Jones slaps and I’m so glad I didn’t have to put down $100 to try it.
Rachet and clank was awesome, shame you didn't get a chance to play it. I wish they would go back to those types of games. I love my TLOU and GOW but we need more game ass games.
@ I regret that too. I think Ratchet and Demons Souls could have broken me out of the cinematic games cycle I was in… but by that point I just didn’t care. Still if I ever fix my PC or get a PS in the future those are two titles I’d try out (and the new Astrobot game, the Astrobot that came with PS5 was fantastic and nostalgic).
Glad your having fun bro, Should try out developer mode, hate to pay the same amount as of gamepass ultimate but it’s worth it to play emulated games without regulations :)
Eli, fun has always been the core and foundation of Xbox. It is best experienced rather than expressed. Fun is the purpose of the hobby and why us Xbox guys have always stayed. Congrats my brother.
Xbox isn't dead !!!!!! Xbox is alive and kicking!!!! I have playstations and every xbox also pc and i always play on my xbox . Don't know why alot of the internet is hating on xbox??? Love the box !!!!!!! Greatings from Belgium Brother 🤪

Those days were special, Unmatched... Timeless
You are going to love, love, love the Gears of War series. I know because I’ve just come to it in the last year. Me and the Mrs. have had such a blast with the series!
Did she play as Dom in splitscreen? Did you play the entire series including the first three?
Gears is going to play in for weeks I think.
@@IDarKVorteXXOfficialdon’t do that to him 😢
Yes indeed Gears of War is by far one of the most fun filled action packed shooters I've ever played especially the first three.
@@IDarKVorteXXOfficial we’ve played 5, 1 and 4 in that order, but we are looking forward to playing 2 and 3 soon. The Mrs. preferred playing as Jack in 5
When I was 20 I rented a big old house with my friends and we all had Xboxes. Xbox Live did not exist yet but you could link up to 4 Xboxes together via Ethernet cable. We had the hub in the wall and wires fed into everyone’s room. 4v4, 8v8 games of capture the flag at Blood Gultch all the time. The only thing we were missing was voice chat, we had to get up and go into the other room to talk shit lol good times
Reminds me of PC lan parties in the 90s! We also did the 4 Xbox LAN party. A bygone era.
How good are those times. Such great memories. Is it still possible now with a series X? Or do you need an older console?
@@aatamitick you know, I hadn’t given it much thought. Idk if you still can.
This is how I feel when I turn on my xbox. There is so many games so many different types of games. My man I recommend the game Psychonauts 2. It took me back to old games to my childhood. It has comedy amazing world to experience.
That was a fun game! I really hope there will be a third one.
@@Jenkins275 one of the few games i have with 100% full achievements on steam it’s that good, i would had it completed on xbox too if i didn’t had too many games to play on it 😂
@@plasticlife283 would love to play the first one in remaster/remake version. I tried playing the original it was rough controls haha
@@fake_dreamer same here 100% another 100% I achieved this year was unicorn overload and Indian jones.
@@Jenkins275 I never did play the first one when it came out. I did try and go back and play like you, but I just couldn't myself.
It was probably great back when it was released though. Of course a lot of older games are the same way.
You honestly can't beat the feeling you get from experiencing a moment in coop or a multiplayer game. Especially, when you have worked so hard to overcome an enemy or a challenge together. It really is the best and I'm glad you are experiencing it!
Playing Halo Wars 2 at 60fps is a dream. Truly awesome.
I've been playing Xbox since 2001 & it's that fun factor that's keeps me coming back, I'm glad to see someone else realize that 👍👍👍
I'd say indiana jones is the best cinematic game in years, and I've played all sonys games...
Dude all you Xbox fans have been trying to shit on playstation for having cinematic games for years now... now it's the reason you like Xbox fuck off lol
I started and can't put it down.
That’s nice too hear glad your having fun.
Ok i dont agre with, and please dont call me sony fanboy cause tgis is my opinion and of course exploring, graphic detail are awesome and its really feel like indiana jones but gameplay ok fight mechanic is good but enemy ai its so terriblethey have no eyes sorry i cant accept people who made wolfenstein cant do good gameplay and ai for me this is so terrible.
@@razor15593 I don’t think anyone asked lol. But that’s fair I’m still early in the game and the AI seems fine to me at least. There’s few games where the AI is actually great
Bruh, enjoy your content. Luv the passion and excitement.
Xbox new tag line....
🔥XBOX IS FUN🔥
You don't even need XBOX, just put ""its fun"" lolol
Finally someone said it and enough people are finally catching on. Especially him shining a light on quick resume!!!!
Gears of War will change your life. Especially when you get to Gears 2 and beyond, and you and your wife can do Horde mode. Thanks for giving me the nostalgia of playing capture the flag in Halo 3 on Valhalla. So many funny stories with my xbox live friends. Things happened in Halo 3 multiplayer that we still talk about 15 years later.
I got a ps5 first and series x second and literally agree with everything you said. Love my ps5 but it’s just collecting dust.
I'm glad your injoying halo that's how i felt in the halo 360 days 😊
Exactly what is happening to you happened to me with the 360! Forza changed me!
Gears of War,is gonna BLOW YA F'n MIND!!
And wet his eyes 🤣
You are right about the overall vibe of the flagship games for each console being different....its no slander on the brilliant playstation titles either. Everything has a time and a place, look at Nintendo....their software is even further removed in vibe and design compared to xbox/ps...but its great fun, same as the other two. Some days I want to play Halo, others Last of Us or Mario Kart. We are lucky to have so much choice🥰
BruvNation, protect this man from the Ponies! Nothing wrong with PlayStation fans, but Ponies are another level of crazy.
Too late! We ponies are here & dont think we dont see wtf you poor Xbots refuse to see. 😂😂😂😂😊
@ronniepatterson2827 Xbot? Fam, we are gamers. Not some hoofed mare running around neighing. Ponies are the most embarrassing fans in existence. Also, learn to spell.
Quick resume, backwards compatibility, developer mode? Xbox is such a better experience than playstation i dont care about your $70 spiderman game@ronniepatterson2827
@ellatgrasso2096 spot on!
I enjoy your videos and reminds me of all the fun times with my friends when we had LAN parties playing Halo. We started with 2 Xbox consoles and 2 TVs playing with a crossover ethernet cable and then expanded to 4 using a router. This was all pre-Xbox Live, but the feeling was all the same
Man the doors.....the Sony Samurais are on the horizon!
You do them kindness calling them that, that’s actually cool, let’s just stick with Ponies. Surprised no has used My Little Pony memes for them 😂
If I may quote the movie parody Samurai Asshole, it is a time of great suffering for Sony fanboys
Lol!!! Real Samurais have more dignity
@@ndlben7129 and honor…there’s no honor in how they conduct themselves 😂
Love how you Xbox boys are so gracious, never name calling, unlike us PS players, right?. Enjoy your console of choice chaps.
Videos like this make me cheer on Xbox in these days of confusion about the direction the company is taking and the “beating” they are taking by PlayStation
Good on you bro to be all about the game experience
Happy New Year!
What beating?
@@cj7011 hardware sales bro and I find it puzzling to say the least
@MrRoundthetwist hardware sales mean anymore dude, if it did Sony wouldn't be broke right now.
The day i put my hand on xbox 360 was the day i never go back to other consoles , the coop.games and the multiplayer change my life . The first time i play gears of war was like see something new in all those years playing ps2 and gamecube and ps3 , that moment that i was playing gears of war was the moment i never go back to play playstation games.
Heh why u just dont buy xbox ps and nintendo, everywhere are good games for example i love forza horizon and gears but i love too zelda, bloodborne(my best game ever) and i have episode with tlou fractions i play this mode 800h and fractins and bloodborne are most plated games on ps, tlou 843h blodborne 630h.
@@razor15593 Why should anyone have to own multiple pieces of hardware, for specific software? Why can't people just play the games they want, on the software they want?
Honestly brother i switched to xbox when my friend showed me Gears of War in 07 and said we can play online TOGETHER... that blew my mind, been with xbox ever since.
party chat, Halo 3, 4 player co-op was some of the most chaotic fun ive ever had in gaming.
Love your energy
Happy new year man from Australia
"long john bruhvian" sounds like a banjo kazooie boss name 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
5:35 That's the Lancer! My Personal Favorite Gears Wepon! :D
Love seeing your experience! Halo and Gears are the epitome of fun, and so great to play with family and friends. Have a happy new year of Xbox and welcome to the family.
Sea of Thief's will give you nightmares 😂 you find some legend's tho
i dont know if you have noticed this yet, but the xbox also downloads the correct version of a game for the console u have and there is no uploading ur save nonsense between consoles
I have a PS5 and absolutely love it. I'm mainly a single player, campaign player, so the PS5 is ideal. BUT, I absolutely LOVE the Halo and Gears of War franshises, so I'll be getting a Series X in January 2025. Prefect Dark, Fable and Avowed look brilliant. I can't wait to jump on board...💥
and don't forget Close to Midnight (should be dropped in 2025) it looks like cool.
When the og Xbox launched with halo it felt like a next generation experience compared to PlayStation 2
The Curious Case of Bruva Bruvian!
You explained it perfectly. I've been on Xbox from the beginning & you nailed it. This is something I've always noticed. When I'm on Xbox it feels like it's live. Like I'm connected to a community. Like things are going on. Like there's activity. Even though now days I mostly play single player games, I know I could be in a party chat in seconds. Where this feeling just doesn't exist on PS. It doesn't feel live. I believe this is just the atmosphere Xbox created by being the first with online gaming & encouraging multiplayer & group experiences. Oh, and happy new year, bruv!
I got a Series X last year when they were $375 during Christmas. It was amazing to play old games again. Also Gamepass is fantastic
😮🎉❤ awesome brother and welcome to Xbox is definitely amazing especially with high-end series Xbox 🎉❣️
Xbox started the take over officially in 2024 its going to complete it in 2025. Xbox is 🔥 🔥 🔥!!!.
X box live was amazing back in the day. So many good memories from gears of war and halo
Bro I love hearing you enjoy gaming, keep having fun. I remember playing Halo like 4x each game.
I love this video! This made me smile. It’s all about the community! Welcome!
Nice to see your channel growing.. You are experiencing FUN and it shows.. I love it.
Thanks man I really appreciate that
Halo will always hold great memories for me hooking up 4 original xboxs 2 consoles upstairs two downstairs 8 vs 8 multiplayer 4 tvs pizza and beers was a real taster of what was to come with halo 2 on xbox live.
as great as xbox live was with the voice and party chat and games like unreal championship, pgr 2, ghost recon, rainbow six 3 when it launched we still held local lans on friday and saturday nights playing these games just for the shear social aspect with mates.
Just to think back with not having a smart phone in sight, no distractions then just all of us together having a blast, it was fundamentally the reason why we all still game on xbox the social interactions that were built from day one, quite simply the memories we have are priceless.
If you can find a copy of Left 4 dead 2 for the Xbox360, that is also an experience co-op wise that its unforgettable.
Having played it on pc ofc its way better on steam, but we are talking couch co-op.
You really nailed it with this one. I’ve tried to explain to people why I always stick with Xbox even though I own a PS5… it just hits different idk how else to say it lol. That combined with GP saving me hundreds, it’s the go to soft landing for me and always will be.
FOR THE BRUVNATION😭😭✊🏾✊🏾🎮
Here's something else thats awesome coming from someone who has owned all xboxes and playstations....back compat. I have over two thousand games in my digital dating all the way back to the first xbox. And I can not only just play any of my old owned titles from past systems without a subscribtion, but if I have a disc I can just put it in and play it....and most of the old games has at least some form of upgrade, all OG xbox games run at 60fps and 4k, and a lot of 360 games have either res boost or fps boost and almost all have auto HDR....for games that came out before HDR was a thing. The reason Xbox didnt get the Red Dead Redemption remaster was cause it already runs at 4k 60 on the X and we didnt have to buy an upgrade....in fact 90% of the first party games when going to the next gen, got next gen patches, you know like the same thing Sony did with Ghost of Tsushima or Horizon or Last of Us.....but those patches were free on xbox. They upgrade the games for you on xbox and dont charge you more money.
This is because Microsoft emulates older hardware. If you've ever emulated on P.C. most of them, come with the capability to add these sort of performance enhancements.
I got a series X for Christmas to go with my PS5, and I'm absolutely enjoying my time with it. It was definitely odd at first, trying to get used to the controller and the Xbox ecosystem, but I think my brain is officially hardwired to both consoles. I love them both equally.
As a PC and Xbox guy, I also have a PS5 and Nintendo switch, I think he just feels this way because Xbox opened up a WHOLE NEW UNIVERSE of gaming for him, that’s all lol. That’s why wanted all platforms, so I won’t miss out on anything.
It's awesome to see someone enjoying co-op games. I love sharing experiences with my gaming friend, he never player Gears before, we played the original trilogy back to back and he can't get enough of it. I met him while playing Destiny and we've been friends ever since
I been saying for quite a while, even during the Xbox One generation we can all agreed that we know it was not the best console generation for the games and the hardware, but I still continued to play on Xbox platform. Two reasons, one the Xbox gaming community is absolute amazing, I love it and will never trade that up for anything less. The second reason Xbox games are just simply fun to pick up and play with your friends or on your own, giving me and everyone else in the Xbox community the freedom in these games to do what you want and use your own imagination playing these games. That is why I love playing starfield because it just a simple game but it's fun to play, you can make-up your own story adventure playing starfield, who do you want to be in that game, it's up to you. I love playing Forza Horizon 5 because it's giving me the freedom race and driver wherever I want I can set my own rules for myself in driving. The Freedom in these games, the fun that you can has been endless. Thank you, Xbox & the gaming community on Xbox.
This is a wonderful video. Hit me in the feels, sincerely. I'm happy you're happy, Sir Bruv.
This reminds me of rediscovering gaming as a 37 y/o back in 2021. It was like I found a piece of me I lost only God knows when. And same thing; it was because of the Xbox. It was nice to get back that little sliver of innocence I felt when I was a kid.
I love your vids bro. It's like reliving my xbox experiences all over again. I'd love for you to post your Gears of War journey with us!
Gears of War is Awesome. You will love it. Black Ops 6 Vombies is heaps of fun. Free on Game Pass..
Side note, those Iron Maiden shirts are fire 🔥🔥🔥
You probably just answered why I go back to Xbox more than any of my platforms I own. Thank you.
5:49 ahh man just wait till you start Gears! Co-op on that game is a masterpiece! I’d love to replay these games again for the first time
Yea your gonna love the Gears of Wars games and the multiplayer especially on 3 and 4
I'm so happy that you finally understand the ridiculous HOURS we Xbox fans have put into these incredible experiences. So much fun with Friends online and the thought of just getting home and hopping online to continue the mayhem. You can't beat that feeling. Happy New Year! 🎉 We'll see you online Bruv. Cheers! 🥂
Welcome my friend
Like your excitement of being a gamer, who feels like a child again. 😊 Your video shows your joy and passion, of what playing games is all about. 😃
Feeling involved and in the moment of the game. 👍
It emotion draws you in, and your teammates are part of your life in that moment, too. 👍
Sometimes, we need to experience something different in your life, and Xbox Series X has given you a lease of gaming happiness. 😉
So do carry on mate with feeling of being excitement of gaming. 😊
Happy New Year to you and your family. 🙏
I’m very happy you’re experiencing what it is to just be a gamer and have something new. Like i said in the comments of a previous video of yours, i main Xbox, but when i got my PS5 it was so new and i was happy to play those exclusive games cause, i’m a gamer at first and just love video games. Each platform offers something the others don’t and it’s just amazing. Can’t wait for you to start Gears of Wars. The brotherhood between the soldiers in that game is just amazing
I can’t wait for you thoughts on gears of war, especially the first 3, they’re gonna blow your mind, also, give horde mode a good go, hours and hours of fun
Welcome to the world of Xbox. Not a bad place to be. I started way back when in 2001, carrying that giant VCR sized OG Xbox with breakaway 9.8-foot wired controllers with breakaways because, well actually should have been done forever, but safety. That thing was a brick ready to fall on a child, small pet, jubilant partier, etc. But seriously the Halo LAN parties before live were just magnificent. Carrying not only the console, but the giant CRTs that went with that era that weighed well into the 100s of pounds and then finding a way to get 16 people crammed into the mess of wires, TVs, chairs, ethernet switches or routers, Mountain Dew game fuel and pizza those were the days and no one with PlayStation could ever tell of experiences like that. I've been on Xbox Live since the word GO even getting the beta kit and begging for DSL claiming it was for schoolwork and there is nothing like it. I own all three systems of this era, Switch, Series X, and PS5. But I only bought the Switch and Series X and to be real, the PS5 just sits idle. Sure, Spiderman is cool, no doubt. But I had a Dreamcast and that Spideman game was also cool. I'm knocking 40 now, but it was my time with Sega that brought me into Xbox because being a Saturn/Dreamcast person meant I was already on the fringe of gaming and Microsoft kind of filled that in when they came into the field back in 2001. I've always liked the controllers better, the UI, everything. Went through the 360 years with a launch one with ZERO RRoD (yeah lucky somehow), and still own a 360 to this date along with the Xbox One X. My dad has my OG Xbox since 2001, the one with the recalled power cable even that had the replacement sent it was so early in manufacturing and it is just now showing signs of drive failure (probably due to dust because he does not store it well), at 23 years of age. It played my games, it was my niece's first games, it was my families machine. I've just had good luck I guess. Maybe we'll see each other on live sometime. Enjoy!
Every time I watch you man, you bring me back to when me and my brother played couch co-op in CE . #BRUV 💯🎮🤘🏾
I love my Xbox Series X!
Always trying new games, co op with wifey, single player, multiplayer, gamepass, rewards are pretty sick too!
But then I remember there’s no games 🥴 😂
I've been on xbox since the og, had ps up to 3.
I bought a ps5 about 4 months back. I still play my series x more.
I've actually struggled to get into the ps exclusives, because they're more cinematic and cut scene heavy. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'd watch a movie.
I'm persevering with it and it may click, but as of now I still boot the xbox up most. The fact that most of my social gaming is done through xbox also may play a huge part.
Your not wrong I had the exact same experience too I joined a community group n like a few hours later I got a message from my now mate Brian to play something but 3 hours later I was in a discord chat with 20 other people actually chatting over mics.
That was 7 years ago and I still chat to these guys to this day, friends for life.. so cheesy lol but true
F: Is for friends who do stuff together.
U: Is for you and me.
N: Is there no title screen or long loading time. Thanks to quick resume
Happy new year, man! I know what you mean with the "fun" aspect. Xbox games don't try and look and feel like movies. They're more about the action and the the thrill of it. The adrenaline rush. Of course there are differences. Another thing is that on top of shooters and one of my favorite car games (Forza Horizon 5), most of the strategy games are on Xbox at the moment.
On top of shooters, I really do like building bases, recruiting armies etc. and those games barely exit on Sony's platform. Age of Empires 2 and 4? Sign me up, baby!
At first I was like "there's no way that'll be comfy on a controller" but I went and tried them and holy shit they've done wonders and I really enjoyed myself and had a great time.
And when it comes to the exclusives you mentioned, another key factor is that whilst I know price isn't an issue for everyone, I'm not too keen on paying up 60-80€ for any videogame. Any.
On the PC I usually wait a couple of years and buy my games between 5-15€ and what I've heard is that Sony's exclusives just stay costly. They don't really drop much below 40-50€ or something like that. That's just a no from me. Like what good is it that I'd have access to exclusives if I'm not even paying for them?
If there's any costlier games I'd ever want to try out, GamePass has me covered there. From what I understood, Sony doesn't put their first party games on PS Plus, but Xbox puts theirs on GamePass day1. And a ton of non first party games get there as well. Day 1. Like there's no waiting or anything.
So even tho' I'm not currently subscribed to GamePass, I actually prefer to have access to it instead of having access to a select few exclusives that have a price point that I'm just not willing to pay for any videogame.
I was playing Halo Infinite with my son till 3am last night. Yeah it's not as good as the others. But it brought back memories playing until the AM with my buddies. Xbox will always have that magic co-op feel online. Something That no other company can duplicate. Keep playing the entire Halo series mate, cheers!
love xbox im glad more people are open to giving it a try every day
Mann!! Phenomenal!! Great videos! Thank you for sharing your experience. Have a happy, healthy new year.
Ngl man, was smiling through out while watching, its nice to you see someone just have fun and just game...and make wonderful memories with it... im introverted, sometimes dont even have the energy to talk on party chats lmao, but gaming, meeting and talking to other people, just share moments and memories together makes gaming 101% better for me... tbh, its the people that i met, made xbox feel like home...really happy youre enjoying your time here brother... bless you and your wife, she just didn't brought you gaming, she brought you home...💚🍻❤️
Thanks man I really appreciate that and feel free to add me man and we can party chat anytime
@@Couple.of.Fools. I got you man, we actually already chat...😉🍻 happy new year brother...
Great video, I feel the same, play with friends is the best
Heck yeah! Get it in! The Halo experience, whew! For Gears of War, get ready to lock yourself in for a weekend!
No matter what you play on weather it be Playstation Xbox Nintendo your still a gamer
Playstation was trying to get a multi player culture built for a reason. It is hard to do. Games like Gears of War, Halo, and Forza Horizon 5 took many years to develop and make popular.
Halo specifically does the one thing NO OTHER GAME has yet done for me. Make me feel like I'm a kid playing with action figures. Halo in my eyes IS G.I. Joe and/or Transformers toys in digital form. I'll always love Halo for that. And I'm a 50 year old kid today because of Master Chief!
I am very happy the Xbox series x can use my dad old games like oblivion and fallout new vegas😊
Hey man you Need to grab yourself Steam Deck next, I feel like your reaction would be priceless quick resume and Halo is there too if that helps sway you
From the inception of Xbox, Microsoft developed all of their games around Xbox Live. Online multiplayer was at the forefront of development. This is why Xbox games are so focused on community.
Happy New Year Bruv!
Can't even gift a game to your friend on PS... they really don't have a focus on community over there...
@@aathmpsnI was part of O&R, a huge PS community of ‘Old and Rubbish’ players who had a riot, what a great community…. No wait, you’re saying that never happened? What about ‘the coffin dodgers’, another excellent community… that according to you, never existed….
Perhaps I dreamt all those fab times….
@@amnril PS doesn't even entertain the idea of co-op gaming. The last one was what, Sackboy? (Helldivers is a standout here actually 👍) Basic functionality of a modern console isn't proof that the consoles ethos is focused on community. It simply isn't on PS
@@amnril BTW: I said "focus".. the PS console simply isn't focused on community like it is on Xbox. Gamer groups existing doesn't negate that opinion. Their focus is cinematic narrative storytelling experiences. This is straight from Herman Hulst, you Bellend.
I bought a Series X, enjoyed it but ended up building a PC a few years ago (Mainly for work) and ended up selling the XBox. But I love how Microsoft arew intergrating the Xbox on PC, especially the community. I did have a PlayStation too but sold that as soon as their games started coming to PC.
Whatever you bro's play on, as long as you are enjoying it, you're doing it right 👌
That is how i feel to when playing some of those games, atmo Halo 2 MCC, AWESOME SERIES, Happy New Year Yall!
It’s funny how things change.
Last gen I sold my Xbox one for a PS4 to play games like God of War 2018 and Last of Us 2. They were visual and narrative masterpieces and I loved them.
But it’s all Sony did at that time. When I got around to Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima I was burned out.
Horizon I tried to start like 5 times but got bored to death by the end of the first act.
Ghost was fun but I dropped it like half way through the story.
The formula just got old, and I felt bored playing through another cinematic game.
Then on PS5 I felt Ragnarok was mid, didn’t even get to try Ratchet and Clank or Demons Souls.
Sold the PS5 for Xbox Series X to game with friends and man… pure fun. I sometimes shit on Halo Infinite but I have more hours on its multiplayer than it took me to play all the Sony exclusives combined haha. The campaign was mid but the multiplayer is fun (needs more content though).
And even though we all share the same third party games, the fact I can download dozens of them over Gamepass at no additional cost just makes it more fun and accessible than PlayStation.
Gamepass is wild. PS Indiana Jones slaps and I’m so glad I didn’t have to put down $100 to try it.
Yo this is my exact experience too!
Rachet and clank was awesome, shame you didn't get a chance to play it. I wish they would go back to those types of games. I love my TLOU and GOW but we need more game ass games.
I think Demon's Souls was worth seeing through even though personally I think that the PS3 version is still better.
@ I regret that too. I think Ratchet and Demons Souls could have broken me out of the cinematic games cycle I was in… but by that point I just didn’t care.
Still if I ever fix my PC or get a PS in the future those are two titles I’d try out (and the new Astrobot game, the Astrobot that came with PS5 was fantastic and nostalgic).
@@greendalf123 astrobot was phenomenal
Glad your having fun bro, Should try out developer mode, hate to pay the same amount as of gamepass ultimate but it’s worth it to play emulated games without regulations :)
Its same like im fell when im playing gears of war with my daughters ❤❤
Eli, fun has always been the core and foundation of Xbox. It is best experienced rather than expressed. Fun is the purpose of the hobby and why us Xbox guys have always stayed. Congrats my brother.
Xbox isn't dead !!!!!! Xbox is alive and kicking!!!! I have playstations and every xbox also pc and i always play on my xbox . Don't know why alot of the internet is hating on xbox??? Love the box !!!!!!! Greatings from Belgium Brother 🤪
We need your review of Gears 1 and Halo CE, i'm so curious about your thoughts as someone new to Xbox.
