its a different kind of audience.  but i agree, xbox games are too focused on looks. brute force.. sure it looks good, but the gameplay absolutely sucks.. it's so monotonous..

Hows the new Zelda....i heard it looks like a$$ but plays sweet?

[Heet]

Im gonna buy one too.  I would never pay 50$ a game (i always wait for them to drop if i buy) but since the cube is droppin in price and so are its games...its  a no brainer that it is worth the 100$.

[XDelusion]

I plan to pick up a Cube too when it dies out, I definatly have to have the GBA adaptor, Zelda, Mario, and Metroid. As for PS2, well I am just hoping Enix/Square, Konami, Sega, and Capcom come to there freaking sences and port there goods to the XBOX like they should have done in the first place to boost sales for themselves.

Well, as far as the price of games, I was never paying no $50 either;) Almost EVERY game I got was had for less then $20
shipped. Know where?....EBAY!! As far as Zelda looking like ass?? Umm...I don't think so. I think it looks amazing in fact.

Mech- There are still a few other really good games. I think Wave Race, Resident Evil and Res Zero, Starfox Adventures, Eternal Dakness, Animal Crossing (cute, but EXCELLENT)and Pikman to name a few. The funny thing is, I can't really think of
that many good Xbox games, can you? The ONLY game I have really been playing the crap out of and having much fun is
Burnout 2. I also thought Hulk was ok, but now I'm starting to re-think my opinion on it. Btw- both of those are cross platform games.

"Xbox might have a lot over the other consoles but it missing the fun factor BIG time."

Personally, I don't think you have to be down on one system to enjoy another.   All The systems have something playable about them as well as limitations.  And no disrespect but if you take away Nintendo's Zelda, Metroid, & Super Mario, your left with the world smallest toilet (shitter).  And before everyone assumes that those games are all that (Yes they are very good but):  Metroid has great colors, atmosphere, but is lacking truely great graphical rendering.    The lack of graphical detail will in no doubt be excused by nintendo owners, but the display in Animal crossing for example is bleeding like an avulging limb.  I know what your thinking "Check your tv dued"..."black and white whent out with pong"..."try the vertical hold"...hahaha that is funny stuff but If you look, you can see a lot of seems and the colors don't pop like Nintendo probably wanted.  As for mario and zelda they can only be lacking graphically.  Bright happy colors for mario do not camoflague it for me.  Look close  (Yes I have these games) Can you imagine what they would look like on the xbox?

Playstation graphics are more fluid than xbox at times.  That's just it though...what's next?  So there are more rpg's on the ps2, that doesn't make them great games.  Not to say they're not good.  I don't have PS2 so I can't comment on a game by game basis.  Just trying to be honest.  But if Grand Theft Auto and Vice City are coming to xbox that will steal some of the PS2 thunder.

Now the xbox is amazing in it's own right.  Unfortunately, the full potential isn't realized without a m0dch1p.  Halo in all it's grace was chopping like a flight on pan am. Sure some games are lacking, but there are also a bunch of great games as well as sleepers.  Project Gotham Racing is fun as hell.  A lot of the sports games (even Tony Hawk) end up on all consoles.  And I think this is another strong point for Xbox. Anyway I will stand on the highest mountain and shout out what a great hardware this is for the money.  A built in nic, and harddrive...hmm.   It's understandable why the hackers targeted this system with much more aggresion than the others.  

In conclusion and shit, all this talk is just a big menstrual masturbation session.  Who the fuck cares about a bunch of blinking lights when your dealing with a death in the family, unemployment, and/or illness. In ten years there is a 25% chance that one of todays modern consoles will be in a landfill under your home.   There are more important things in life.  Don't be a victim of advertising.  Perspection.

[abhorrent]

I have a lot of fun with the games on the Xbox, there's a load of crud, but that's to be expected.  Serious Sam is a great fucking mindless FPS, good to pick up for a few minutes here and there when you just want to shoot the shit out of something and not care about any semblance of a storyline.

I'm tempted to get the Gamecube just to get the GBA adapter cause I don't really like playing games on the road (what the hell for, I'm the driver all the time!), and it's the last place where 2D reigns supreme. However, I do support paying 50 dollars for a game.  If it is that good, it deserves my money.  After all, it costs to make these games, not just for the physical medium (CD or DVD) in which it comes in.

WOW! What a contradiction. I was never down on Xbox, it friggin rules. I was talking about fun games. There are quite a few good games on Gamecube vs Xbox is all I'm saying. I already mentioned at least 10 REALLY good Gamecube only games. As much as I love the Xbox, I STILL can't think of 10 (Xbox only) REALLY good games.

[XDelusion]

That which does rock:

Halo
007 Agent Under Fire
007 Night Fire
Blood Omen 2
Dead Or Alive 3
Dr. Muto
Dragon's Lair 3D
Indiana Jones
Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight 2
Mech Assault
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Quake II (he he)
Red Faction II  (after you play it a while)
Robotech Battlecry
Serious Sam (1 and 2)
Silent Hill 2
Spy Hunter
Jet Set Radio
The Thing
Tiem Splitters 2
Tony Hawk (pick one)
Turok (mildly graphical) Evolution
Unreal Championship (and I am so sick of DM)
Vexx
Wolfenstien (I mock the Sony version)
Wreckless (usually hate racing, but this is kool)
Enter The Matrix
Buffy (if only she would shut the fuck out though, I hate her,      but this is fun)




That which will rock:


Fable (screw the elder scrolls)
Starwars: Kinght Of The Old Republic
DOOM III
Half-Life 2
Unreal II (sounds like it is on its way)
Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight 3
Soul Reaver 3 (or what ever it is called)
Halo 2
Deus Ex 2


That which is for the shallow minded in order:

5. All football games. There only needs to be 3 Football games EVER. They are are on-line compatable, but... The 1st one has to have bad controls so everyone has at least one to bitch about and wish they did not buy (serves them right for owning 8 different football games), One which plays really well, but lets you break the rules like mad, and one that plays really well, but conforms to the real rules a bit too much. That said, we already have at least 10 thousand football games that fit the description, so no more need to be made, spend your time porting over updating and porting over PC classics such as Half-Life, Dark Forces II, Jedi Knight, Unreal, Gundam Chronicls, Sin, Undying, ect.

4. All strictly Death Match games aside of Unreal Champ. (Come on, we are putting things on DVD now, you got room for a single player story "Quake III cough cough".

3. Every other game that plays like Blood Rayne.

2. Blood Rayne (fun for a while, but just like Wolverine, Hulk and all those other 3rd Person games where you hack and slash, only here you hack, slash, look at boobs, listen to her talk like a teenage run away, then hack and slash some more. Gay!!!

1. Batman Dark Tomarrow (Oh my GAWD, I won't even go into the camera angles let alone the controls and gfx. Oh my, this one is just fucked up man.

============================================


And on another note:

The definition of a PS2 by XDelusion.


An over priced crippled Dreamcast with shitty DVD playback.

Thankx you thank you thank you.

Get Eternal Darkness for the GameCube Guile, you absoulety love it! That game alone is worth buying a GameCube IMHO. Another game that may not look like much but is addicting as hell is Super Monkey Ball. I love my GameCube and have defiantley got my $150 dollars worth!

"...I already mentioned at least 10 REALLY good Gamecube only games. As much as I love the Xbox, I STILL can't think of 10 (Xbox only) REALLY good games."

Halo II counts for 7 games just because it will rock.    Well I guess it depends on what your looking for.  Of course I could say well you sure as hell can't put linux on gamecube...but then again maybe that's what I'm looking for.  And we all know that is not "gaming".  Both, however, could easily change as systems mature.  Guess that's part of the ride.  As for having 10 xbox only games, maybe there are only 5...so what, that doesn't make the gamecube better because 10>5.  That's illogical.  The gamecube is graphically inferior to the X (considered by many), which would allow some one to argue that quality is better than quantity.  This same "limitation", by the way, doesn't make gamecube worse.  It's all perception.  I'm left to believe that your attempt at defining what is better is part of your nature.  I will not take offense to it but I have to say it sounds like you speak troll.  And these things are nebulous.  Either way enjoy your gaming.

DEATH FROM ABOVE!!!  NINJA ATTACK!!!

Well I guess that will be his last post .

Anyone that says that this game is not GREAT is watching too much TV.  Yes, that must be it.  Using comercial influence to rate games is ridiculous.  Lowen na you have no honor!  Your dead body will be slapped and your bald head will be rubbed with CHA CHA CHA CHIA! seeds.  Then your burnt ashes will be packed into a duck hunt cart as a reminder for future offenders.
