Nah, it just takes a bit to get used to it, but MW is still playable. Ive been playing MW on xbox, which is arguably the worst version of the game to play, and it still holds up.
I love MW on Xbox (wait, original Xbox or a newer Xbox?) for multiple reasons. It's on a console already hooked up to my TV (ie convenience). It supports a controller without any extra setup. You can use something like JoyToKey, but you have to set it up just right. It supports omnidirectional movement. Even if you set up your controller on PC, it still only supports 8 directions. The Dark Brotherhood doesn't come after you until level 5.
I don't use mods, so there's really downside.
Morrowind was an OG Xbox game. That's how I played the majority of it since it rand like shit and crashed all the time on my PC at the time. You could even mod the game (as long as it didn't need the script extender or any actual executable/dll files) if you had a hacked Xbox, since it literally used the same file structure as PC. Just put the Data files in the Data folder and then add the .esp and .esm files to the load order in the respective .ini.
My question for them was when they say it still holds up, which Xbox are they playing it on. Because playing it on the the Xbox One or Series cuts the load times down to almost nothing. If they're playing on the OG, then they are still experiencing the ungodly load times.
It was one of a handful of games that made the original Xbox worth having and one of my favorite games of all time (my other favorite being on the PS2). But I wouldn't want to replay it on that console.
