Eets Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Just thought I'd tell you that this is a very nice forum. Once I get myself a console, I'll post more often. Which do you suggest? X-Box? Gamecube?
Boba Rhett Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 It depends. What type of games do you like? How much money are you looking to spend?
matt-- Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 well then its a case of Star Wars: Rogue Leader, or Star Wars: Obi-Wan Then of course Racer Revenge and Jedi Starfighter are coming out for the Xbox, while LEC has said that the majority of Ep2 games will be on the gamecube...i cant find that quote though. So now it's a question of what type of star wars game?
Sherack Nhar Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 I see that my smilies are getting used I just received my LEC Insider today. It says that Lucasarts will announce new games next week! So maybe we'll see that Xwing vs. Xbox rumor proven true. Maybe they'll port Starfighter to Gamecube too.
Tie Guy Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 Originally posted by Sherack Nhar Maybe they'll port Starfighter to Gamecube too. I would seriously doubt it since they didn't with StarFighter. It might come to the X-Box and Pc though. BTW, the majority of Episode II games may be on the gamecube, but that dosen't mean they will only be on the gamecube. The ps2 and X-box will surely get their fair sare of great episode II games also. BTW Eets, get a ps2.
Sherack Nhar Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 Originally posted by Tie Guy I would seriously doubt it since they didn't with StarFighter. It might come to the X-Box and Pc though. I meant the original Starfighter. They already ported it to Xbox and PC, so why not Gamecube? Originally posted by Tie Guy BTW, the majority of Episode II games may be on the gamecube, but that dosen't mean they will only be on the gamecube. The ps2 and X-box will surely get their fair sare of great episode II games also. I agree 100%. LEC is going to milk Episode 2 the best they can. They're going to cash in wherever they can. Originally posted by Tie Guy BTW Eets, get a ps2. Erm...let him decide on that, heh? While the PS2 does have GREAT games, the fact that he didn't include it in the choices might be because it's not to his tastes.
Kvan Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Get a Ps2 eets....everyone else here (besides Tie) is a GC and Xbox fanatics and will tell you their console is better....Tie Guy and me would never lie to you
Eets Posted January 22, 2002 Author Posted January 22, 2002 If you say so.. Besides, it does have a built in DVD player!
Kvan Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Originally posted by Eets'chula If you say so.. Besides, it does have a built in DVD player! It does, but thats not the only reason to get it.....the games are good too! GC and Xboxes games don't sit well with me, especially GC's, they just aren't all that entertaining
Boba Rhett Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 I don't know how you could possibly say they aren't entertaining. Have you ever played them? I think your confusing "entertainment" with "visually stunning"; and those two things aren't even close to being the same. Take SSBM for example, it's a far cry from the visuals of, lets say, Halo but it's got to be one of the most entertaining games that's come out in a long long time. In a while the GC will be releasing games that not only have great game play but will also have the amazing graphics that some people place higher on the importance scale.
Clefo Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 I'm sorry but: SUPER SMASH BROTHERS IS AN AWFUL GAME!!!!! I can't run out of bad things to say about it. I'd say a PS2.. Mostly because the controller isn't complicated...
Boba Rhett Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Since when is the GC controller hard to operate? Care to name some reasons as to why you don't like SSBM? Did Peach always kick your a**?
Clefo Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 1. It had HORRIBLE controls.. C button for jump? 2. It wasn't balanced. Every single person I know would be Kirby 3. Too easy List goes on.. I don't like the GC controller.. Its weird.. Why can't Nintendo make a decent controleller for once? The PS2 one is nice and... nice
Kvan Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 The GC's controller is especially unusual this time. But that in and of itself isn't so bad, its just that most the games don't appeal to me, and in the end thats what matters. SSBM was fun.....for about a day. It got boring too quickly. RS is cool though, but so for only one game for the GC isn't enough for me to buy one. I'd rather invest in a PC
Boba Rhett Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Unbalanced? Not if you've played it much. Some characters are easier to fight with but that's about it. C button to jump? It's the Y button. Are you talking about the N64 version? As for the controllers, I guess it comes down to a matter of taste when it comes to controllers; but Nintendos' controllers are excellent in my book.
Kvan Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 I think you guys are thinking about SSB WAY too much , to me its one of those games you play and shrug off...its a party game and not to be taken too seriously, unlike say a SF game
Darth_Rommel Posted February 1, 2002 Posted February 1, 2002 My favourite console games were: 1) Warlords 2) Jedi Power Battles 3) Tony Hawk 4) Empire Strikes Back (Atari) 5) Twisted Metal 3 Honourable Mention: This Atari game, where you ventured through space, and you had to fight these aliens (how many other game are there that are like that?! ). I can't remember the title, though...
Rogue15 Posted February 6, 2002 Posted February 6, 2002 PS2 DAMNIT!!! (sorry) PS2 has the MOST star wars games if you count the ones for the original playstation. The backwards compatible feature is the reason why it's good, you don't gotta worry about wasting $40+ on a game for it, cause u can get the ps1 games as well. Which makes the PS2 have the most games available for it. Gamecube isn't that bad either, the only thing I do not like for gamecube is their controller, too many buttons, not enough fingers. edit: Turok: Evolution is coming to PS2, X-Box, and Gamecube I'll be getting a Playstation 2 when Turok: Evolution's price drops to $30.
Link Antilles Posted February 6, 2002 Posted February 6, 2002 The GC controller is Perfect!! I can't stand the PS2 controller. Very poorly designed. Xbox is ok.

I've never played PS2, but I absolutely abhor the Xbox controller. That thing is the most distorted thing I've ever seen, and very cumbersome.
