am i the only one who loves Unreal? i know the PC version is better, but im not a PC gamer. i guess thats probably the only reason i like it, huh? and have any of you given Whacked a chance? thats what i played during beta testing and i had a blast. its obviously not a big release title, but its still fun.

I was playing Mechassault and lot of people said Unreal on DC was better than the Xbox version because of the framerate.

It's kind of misleading for the average newbie to read the mod's post since they take it as the word of god.  
For me, xbox live far superior to the pc online experience and xboxconnect, perfectly easy to use, offers full voice support, and has had zero lag.    I highly reccomend it.

. Xbconnect is really cool too and I wish they could find a way to allow PAL and NTSC users on the same game .

my opinion: i dont have live but i have tried xboxconnect and i can say that at least in live you dont have ignorant fool who wont play you when you only have one person on your system! seriously how many times have you been kicked by someone for that reason? and no not all the game titles say bring XX people.  it sometimes takes half an hour just to get in a good game, and even they one person can quit and ruin the whole damn thing.

the only thing xbconnect has on live is the ability to play system connect games like halo. thats it. people saying "oh the voice thing sucks" dont have to use it on live.

verdict: when halo 2 comes out but it and live.

whacked? more like WEAK.

unreal championship? got it for da pee-cee... (and isn't it supposed to be "2k3"?)

ghost recon? sucked on PC, sucks even more on XBox (raven shield... now THAT's a different matter)

mechassault? uhhh... 1.) find enemy. 2.) shoot. 3.) repeat #2 until one of you blows up. wow... i mean it looks nice... but there is NO strategy  ...oh, and i know you can shoot better in the water, as it cools your guns ... but i want faster more nimble mechs (think EVA-00).

nfl2k3? ahhhhhhhhhh......... (heavy sigh) that game is DREAMY!    totally fucking *LAME* is you're playing someone on the couch (gee, does that big circular cursor show the play you're picking? oh... a running play?), but 104.5% LOVE online. that game alone is getting me to buy another unmodded xbox for live.... but so far that's about it.


i think the whole "trashtalk!" advertising is just stupid, too... we're encouraging our kids to be assholes as long as they are out of arms reach... i would just SLAP half the fuck-Os  i hear if they were close enough to reach... especially the voice masked fuckers....

why xbconnect is so much better? you can only play against people witht the inginuity to get on themselves, AND theres no mic and headset to talk with!!

Yes there is.

as far as any console gaming is concerned xbox live is pretty darn fun. I don't even play my non-online games anymore.  i know there is a bunch of dorks out there but it is still fun to talk to a dork that your on the same team with or head-to-head. I'ts sport.  Furthermore I use my computer's to make music and can't be screwing around with it loading up a bunch of games.  Besides my computer doesn't have a 400 dollar(cdn) video card either to play them with good frame rates and detail of my xbox.  There is something about console games that I find are just more fun.  But damn.......I wanna play backups on live or I'm gonna fucking snap.

XL is the shiznit

shiznerd up!

I dunno, I think XBL is good for sports, racing and other games you wouldn't normaly play on a PC.

As far as FPS's go.. I think they're just fun split screen when playing with friends, nothing more than that. I'd rather play online on my PC.

As cool as Live sounds, I can't see myself buying another xbox for it. Maybe when there's a more practical workaround for moded xboxs I'll give it a go..
