Guest Rogue15 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 I'm thinking about an X-Box, but am uncertain 'cause Rogue Leader might not be ported to it...
Guest TK-421 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Whats an X-box? ------------------ "Imperial troops have entered the base!!! Imperial troops have entered the base..." *static*
Guest Helix Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Um, I already have a PS2, but I would'nt mind a GameCube. Like RL said about the X-Box, Microsoft has no TV console experience. ------------------ If you don't have a brain, and don't even bother to get one, then your dead. This is hell.
Guest Grand_Admiral_Ice Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Rogue Leader is a GameCube exclusive and Helix get my BGM out of your sig. ------------------ For the empire! MY empire.
Guest Rogue15 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 awwwwww darrrrnnnnnnnnn. well, i think i'll wait to see the lineup this winter in sw games.
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 I've got a ps2, but i might consider getting the gamecube a little later. As for teh X-Box, it's going to be horrible. I wouldn't waste 30 dollars on it. ------------------ "We will crush the Rebellion in one swift stroke."
Guest Redwing Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 I have no gaming platforms but the PC, but am considering getting the gamecube, for obvious reasons ------------------ At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.
Guest Rogue3 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 I'm like RW, all I have is my Pc which is(pertty Crappy!) I think the X-box by MicroSith...oops I mean Mrcrosoft might be good, It would be better if apple made something!
Guest Lynk Former Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 I'll keep it short... X-BOX WILL SUCK! ...Thank you
Guest TK-421 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 ok then I guess I don't need to know what an x-box is. ------------------ "Imperial troops have entered the base!!! Imperial troops have entered the base..." *static*
Guest Lynk Former Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 The X-Box is Microsoft's first gaming console ever. Go to http://xbox.ign.com to get more info... anywayz. It's powerful and all but it's stats aren't realistic to what the programmers of the games can achieve. You see the X-Box may be powerful (too powerful), but developing games for it extremely hard! You see Microsoft sends out development packages out to the companies that want to create games to come out on the X-Box... unfortunetaly the X-Box is so hard to create games for that even the last game ever made for the X-Box won't be able to use the full capabilities of the machine... this means that some of it's performance will be wasted. Plus I think most of us won't be able to afford an X-Box in the first place! With the GameCube it's different. You see eventhough the GCN isn't as powerful as the X-Box (but is slightly more powerful than the PS2), it is extremely easy to create games for it. Therefore the games that are being produced for the GCN will be breath taking... just look at what LucasArts and Factor 5 have done with RS2! It's great!... well i've had enough explaining for one day... ------------------

Guest Grand_Admiral_Ice Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Is there something wrong with your eyes? ------------------ For the empire! MY empire.
Guest Lynk Former Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that the X-Box has a very crap controller... unless you have the same hand size as a baboon!... The GCN controller, while it seems small is very comfortable... I know I haven't even seen one in person but I have read in many places that it's the best controller ever! Nintendo have out done themselves in designing the controller for their system and I know it will go very well. The X-Box controller is crap... it's big (like the N64 controller) The buttons are too far apart yet spaced too close (you'll know what I mean when you see a picture of the controller) and unless you are willing to import a controller from Japan which is smaller than the American version, you're gonna have a lot of hand cramps! So... I'm done... for now Short enough for you?... Hmmmmm dumb question I suppose... ------------------
Guest Rogue15 Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 i thought the n64 controller was crap AFTER i tried the one electronic boutique had designed.
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 The ps2 and ps have the best controller ever. All the buttons are easy to reach without moving your hands and they have alot of buttons and two joysticks. And it fits your hand perfectly and very comfortably. ------------------ "We will crush the Rebellion in one swift stroke."
Guest Lynk Former Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 I found that the dual shock analog sticks were in the most uncomfortable position... I mean who in there right mind would move their thumb that far to work the main control! I know it's not that far in reality... but imagine playing a great game for hours and you're really hooked and then suddenly the area around you thumb joint hurts cause the muscle is too tired!... get muh drift?
Guest Tie Guy Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 No way, i play FF9 for hours at a time, with no discomfort. You probably just have really small hands. Anyways, at least you can reach everything with 2 hands, unlike the 64 controller. ------------------ "We will crush the Rebellion in one swift stroke."
Guest Lynk Former Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 No... I have big hands... (normal in other words)
Guest Kint Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Remember, Nintendo has a long story of broken promises. The SNES was supposed to have a CD extension. Never happend. (http://www.nintendoland.com/home2.htm?snes/snescdr.htm) The N64 was supposed to have a DD drive. Never happened. (http://members.nbci.com/64dd/) So what promise about the GameCube is Nintendo of America going to break? (These are the same guys who promised that starting with the SNES, subtitles would be a thing of the past. All text would be spoken, not read.) ------------------ Moff Kint [This message has been edited by Kint (edited August 02, 2001).]
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 I'd say that its the promise that it will be good. ------------------ "We will crush the Rebellion in one swift stroke."
Guest Grand_Admiral_Ice Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 The CD extension was Playstation! Nintendo and Sony's partnership was broken up and Sony got to keep the Playstation designs and stuff. The DD drive never made it here because it wasn't successful in Japan. ------------------ A six pack a day, keeps the doctor away.
Guest Kint Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Doesn't matter. That was only 2 examples. There's plenty more. Point is, Nintendo has always been letting people down, on all their platforms (except perhaps the gameboy variants, hardly qualifying as platforms these days). I'm not going to pay 300$+ to find out if they're going to keep their word this time around. Oh well ... ------------------ Moff Kint <A HREF="http://www.openbsd.org" TARGET=_blank> </A>
Guest Grand_Admiral_Ice Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 GameCube is $199.95, only the DVD GameCube hybrid is $300. What promises are yu talking about? ------------------ A six pack a day, keeps the doctor away.
