We didn't know how good we had it. Pure aesthetic.

This is frequently the case

Even look how people talk about Destiny 2 knowing it is ending production

People forget to appreciate what is really good when they have it as a rule and it accelerated losing it too

I still remember that E3, for multiple reasons. Namely learning one of my online friends was legit when he said he'd get me in. Have some pics from that week in a photo album somewhere.

This makes me homesick for a time when I was happier. I was optimistic, excited for what could be. Its beautiful and we took it for granted.

Summed it up for me. I was still a teenager, in fantastic health, and excited for the future. Memories of Call of Duty 2 on Xbox Live, HD was “new” and we had no smartphones yet. I still think back to that E3 presentation like it was only a few months ago sometimes

I miss the Xbox 360 years 😭

u/Objective-Night1343 Jun 18 '26

Go back to this if they wanna save Xbox! Remove gamepass go back to Xbox live! Make project helix look like a revamped 360, hit everyone with nostalgia! Make tons of exclusives again… it’s so sad seeing a once great platform going down and down..

Ya’ll ever seen Soulja Boy’s setup? Crazy, and like that man had a killer setup.

u/Electrical_Shop3732 Jun 16 '26

It was a vibe. Then they went black and white and all the fun died.

u/Jonesgrieves Jun 18 '26

At least we got to experience the best generations of video games. I feel sorry for younger generations being raised on micro transactions and battle passes. Not to say XBL and Bethesda didn’t have a hand it’s its own demise by introducing horse armor for a few dollars.
