A moderator is allowed to troll?? Well I guess you want us to think that your opinions are facts. I will play whatever I like. Don't be an jerk and make some stupid topic. Seems that "genius" next to your name is supposed to be a joke eh?

i have been saying that xbconnect is better than live for a while now, i haven't even played it much since the ban of modchips.  and since most people know halo is my game of choice, well i like xbconnect, also thps4 is my second game of choice, so xbconnect is where i hang with my decision.   beerchug.gif

Sorry if I would like this board to a non-trollish environment. Ignorant people rip on the Xbox too much and that is why I left Gamefaqs.

i really dont have problem at all with you shanafan, but that first post was anything but necessary. vin was giving us his opinion on Live, thats it! he wasnt trying to talk down to us just because he is a moderator. and even though i disagree with him, since i have a high powered 2.0 GHz PC and i also own a PS2 i still loved the beta testing period of Live and really did think it was "fucking awesome", im not going to talk crap to him. you know why? its his opinion! thats what he thinks and since he is a very respected member of this forum he thought that he would share his opinion with the rest of us. so just chill out! mad.gif

I just don't find it appopriate for him to do it. There is a pinned topic on the modchip about bashing. We don't need this board to turn into a bashing war.

shanafan, you are the one ruining this thread in particular.  You need some time off I think.  Play xbox, enough talking about it.

Maybe its time you think about what you just said. As, I am living up to my free speech too. I need time to think? Ok, I like Xbox Live and I like coming to this board to get the latest on Live and such. Do I want to hear peeps saying that Live sucks or other junk like that? Nope, as that is not the purpose of this forum. Would I want to hear how much Live rocks? Sure, thats all good, but the opposite we don't need here.

I have SOCOM and the PS2 NA and SOCOM is very fun to play. I bought Ghost Recon for Xbox Live, but since I already had SOCOM, I returned GR and got NBA2K3.

Sorry if I would like this board to a non-trollish environment. Ignorant people rip on the Xbox too much and that is why I left Gamefaqs.

Exactly WHERE did I rip the Xbox?  I ripped LIVE, which is different... the Xbox itself is awesome (if not underachieving).

I just want people to know that LIVE isn't the "end all be all" that M$ portrays it to be... I find the Xbox Connect program to be more inviting and a better option for some (not all).  Also, the LIVE experience has not matched up to PC quality of playing online.  Is it easier?  Yes, and as far as I'm concerned it's the only plus right now.

There is no "Killer" game on LIVE right now... (and not really on the PS2 either).  Once LIVE brings out a game of the magnitude of Counterstrike or Warcraft III or Battlefield 1942... or ANY game of popularity... come find me and we'll talk about how great LIVE is.  

You said it was okay if I talked about how GREAT Live is... how fucking bogus fanboy of you to say.  Negative opinions spur conversations (like this one) which is what forums are about... not people who through around terms like "Troll, Lamer, Newbie, Lurk, LOL, ROTFL" for a living... please, why don't we strive to make this a community with people of different ideas and opinions?

Would you rather have...

"Xbox is great!"
"I fucking think LIVE is the bomb!"
"Bill Gates is a God..."

Lame.

I think the Gamefaqs guys are lucky. laugh.gif

                                    agreed.

I'd have to say that NFL2k3 is a killer game though.
Live is worth it just for that game in my opinion.
The sports aspect of live is what makes it shine.

I agree totally Noobvin.. xbox live is good BUT there are not any games out right now that are fun imo.. When they release some games like SOCOM and such then it should be pretty good. Also.. Every game there is always some 12year old that wont shut the fuck up and annoys everyone with their voice and stupidity.. lol

noobvin, yeah I agree. Live needs title that will grab more attention. Yeah, Halo 2 is too far away to be that title.

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.

wink.gif . 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 rolleyes.gif ... but i want faster more nimble mechs (think EVA-00).

nfl2k3? ahhhhhhhhhh......... (heavy sigh) that game is DREAMY!  love.gif  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....

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.

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..
