Morrowind on the Xbox 360 is something else...

Ойындар

In 2002 Todd (the god) Howard and his silly little game company put out one of the most awe-inspiring, and revolutionary Western Action Adventure RPG's OF ALL TIME! Even well into the 2020's Morrowind still holds up as a masterclass in open world design, and gameplay. But did you know this game got a port to the original Xbox and then was later made backwards compatible with the Xbox 360? Did you know that this is probably the worst way to play Morrowind? Well in this video I revist Morrowind in 2024 and play Morrowind on the xbox 360.

    I remember opening my windows, getting a box fan & taking my og xbox out of my tv cabinet while playing morrowind because it would get soo hot. All for the 5ft view distance.

    Ok ok ok - I feel like I need to say this. The fact that the XBOX 360 CAN emulate the original XBOX is literally BLACK MAGIC. IT should NOT be able to do it - but it does. Some programmer at xbox during this time must have sold his soul to make it happen. Several emulation channels have discussed it - the really impressive thing is that the xbox 360 does not have any of the hardware that is contained in the OG xbox - so it is 100% software emulated. Very impressive.

    Skyrim was so good I thought it was a standalone game for years. Never heard of Morrowind or Oblivion, so I tried to play them, my character got diabetes and passed out after throwing 3 punches. Haven't played the game since due to being so heinously disrespected. Obviously a 10/10 game.

    I first played Morrowind normal edition for the original xbox... I always just became a collector and lived out of the balmora khajiit traders house. I was like 5-6 btw... And yes I'm salt that the later games cut back most the mechanics from morrowind.

    I don’t know what every single difference is between the first version of Morrowind and the GOTY Edition, but I’m absolutely certain the atrocious performance is hardware related on your end. I have the GOTY edition on Xbox, and asides from the Save File Image being a pixelated mess, performance has always been good and stable irregardless of what model I play on, whether it be the original Xbox, 360, or base One. Also, the Xbox version having Cheat Codes is legitimate. There’s three I know of, and they restore Health, Stamina, and Magica. Restore Health- Black White Black Black Black Restore Magica- Black White White Black White Restore Stamina- Black Black White White Black

    People always overlook/willingly forget stuff like that. The vast, vast, vast majority of players on PC were playing it exactly like this or worse. Same with something like Half-Life. It boggles my mind how the Master Race always acts like every game they ever enjoyed was 60 fps without any exceptions all the time.

    The point of this video was just to showcase that *this* specific version of Morrowind was shite. I never claimed that this game didn't tun perfectly when it came out. What I will say is that this was made backwards compatible YEARS after Morrowinds initial release and ran worse than it did on the Original Xbox.@@mightilyoats2729

    Damnnn, I never knew MW had a Xbox 360 port! Thank you for contributing on documenting what may as well be lost media (because it's PRACTICALLY UNPLAYABLE). Great video!! ^^ 1:03 - Bruh, not even the game title thumbnail appears on the 'play' option 1:50 - Idk if this was a thing on the OG Xbox, but the same thing occurs on the Xbox One version 3:51 - MW having an _astounding view_ was on its original PC and Xbox ports as well. Back then systems could only render so much at a time 7:28 - _"There is a slaughterfish chasing me. I'm not going to fight it, I--fuck I'm going to _*_have_*_ to fight it!"_ MOOD. 8:00 - Ahhh the good old Soultrap Exploit :') So fucking broken xDD I love this game 10:15 - :kekw: This version of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is freaking strange. It should have gone through extensive Q&A testing. *It should not exist in the state that it is.* And yet, it does... Also, something I couldn't help but notice is that the colours are _very_ vibrant here, much more so than usual (from what I can recall). That fuzzy resolution on everything also brings back childhood memories, ngl (Oh, and that Rigel guy is a absolute legend. If he's still around, I hope he knows about backwards compatibility on the newer Xboxes. _And damn do I miss physical game manuals._ MW's was - is - peak 🤌✨🖤)

    The OG Xbox version was the first time I've ever experienced this game. It was a really huge and daunting game, possibly the biggest on the entire system, almost unbelievable that something like it could exist on a console at the time with how vast and deep Vvardenfell is and how many distinctive NPCs exist. It was also really buggy though. With every save, the "blocks"/save game file size would expand the more changes happen to the world and it was getting worse and worse the longer your file continued. Good times, but I'm glad I'm playing on PC now haha

    @@phil331 1. Graphics. This one is obvious and is to be expected from a game this old so this isn't a big one. 2. The combat system. It's already fairly clunky but the dice roll system for your attacks landing is VERY annoying early game. Fighting multiple enemies is absolute torture. It becomes bearable by the mid game as you boost your stats and get better gear but it makes the early game an absolute slog. If you're playing a magic build you may as well spend the first hour or two creating a few "practice" spells and spamming them to level up your magic skills because doing it naturally is a ballache. Weapon skills don't have this option so you have to go through the first few hours of the game hitting shit over and over to raise your skills. I can see why people usually end up dropping Morrowind in the early game. 3. Walking speed. Again, this is mostly an early game issue as you end up creating spells that make travelling trivial but the default walking speed is dreadfully slow. 4. The wall of text. I don't mind this so much but having to read paragraph after paragraph of dialouge to figure out what to do next can be annoying. Following directions instead of having a map marker also isn't that big of a deal but sometimes the directions are painfully bad and in some cases aren't actually correct.
