BCanr2d2 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 So, how much of this "Anti-XBOX" feeling comes from a hatred of everything Microsoft amongst you? Those that hate MS, but will willingly use Windows in any shape or form, use the Office suite and browse with IE..... Sounds hipocritical to me.. Let's get it clear where each console is aimed GC - as usual going for the younger market in general, with it's flagship Mario titles. Games are usually done with a cartoony feel, since they are all aimed at the pre-teen market, but with some appeal for the greater market. PS2 - More of your casual gamer, and with being out longer than any competing console. So it has a large range of games, which until the GT series came along, weren't worth the CD's they were written on. We are talking about the success of the console being attributed to one game series, and being lucky enough to not have any real competition at the time. XBOX - This one is more for your PC freaks out there, which is both a good and bad thing. Limited marketing hasn't tapped into the general public, and with the limited time from launch, there is no chance to compete against PS2 with their "Platinum Priced" titles. All will depend on the XBOX Live, and it's fight against what seems like a badly planned, or rushed approach from Sony. In MS's favour is that it is larger than both Sony and Nintendo combined, so unlike Sega, it has more than enough resources to dig in for the long haul. It's commitment to online console gaming, compared to Sony's is going to be the deciding factor over who wins this round of the console wars. I assume the deciding factor is who between Sony and MS get the better online experience. My personal preference is to play on XBOX Live, sounds like a better planned and structured plan than Sony's plan to have each software company host their own. Makes for more of a hodge podge approach - Game X has better online performance since Company X spent plenty for online infrastructure, whereas Game Y sucked online, even though it has better gameplay, since Company Y skimped on spending for online infrastructure. No such problems should arise from XBOX Live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Originally posted by obi-wan13 Im getting a Game Boy Advance on Tuesday. It any good? (im getting the AOTC game to go with it) I got a GBA Obi, It's pretty neat, but I highly recomend you get one of the lights that snap into the back because the screen is difficult to impossible to see without the right amount of light. Games I would recomend to you would be: Spiderman: Mysterio's Menace Castlevania, Circle of the Moon Doom Jedi Power Battles Advance Wars Pac Man Collection Super Mario Bros 2 BTW I heard that AOTC was utter ****e but I would take a forum user's word over any review I read. Let me know if it's cool ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue Nine Uh, where did that come from? I think that was a little uncalled for. The DOA series has the best tag team system this side of Tekken. I said absolutely nothing lewd, nor did I sound like some hormonal teenage boy infatuated with the characters in DOA. I like the game for the gameplay. The rest is eye candy, a testament to the Xbox's power. And it's all well and good you can see real boobs on real women. I'm sure your mother appreciates your interest in her. When I said "hardcore gamers" I was referring to the scarcity of kiddie games on the system. The only one I've seen is Shrek. Therefore, the age demographic that the Xbox is targeted at is not the younger child, but the teenage and adult gamer. People who buy the Xbox intend to play it and get the most out of their money and games. And there are a host of other games that are excellent and worthy of note. Soul Caliber 2 should be a phenomenal sequel to the original DC great. Marvel vs. Capcom 2, The Madden series, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Halo 2. And that's only a few of them. And are they really designed "for people who are horny"? I think not. So a word of advice: Don't put your foot in your mouth, else someone will come along and shove it in deeper. who told you i like to look at my mom naked!?!?!? :rolleyes: that was a really pathetic attempt to make fun of me, here are X-Box's "hardcore gamer" games: Kelly Slater's pro surfer Batman: Dark Tomorrow Street Hoops Xbox Live Crank the Weasel Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 NBA Inside Drive 2003 Ty the Tasmanian Tiger Spyro Superman: The Man of Steel Stung! Micro Machines (Tentative) Monopoly Party E.T. Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness all sports games i guess you get my point, which was XBOX IS NOT JUST FOR TEENS AND ADULTS, JUST AS MANY CHILDREN HAVE X-BOXES AS THEY DO GAMECUBES!!!! DOA sells well on two accounts: 1. the name that's been overused 2. PIXELATED BOOBS!!! you said you like the series because of "good gameplay" or somethin like that, bullsh*t, you said yourself that the rest is just eyecandy, well what's better than a gigantic pair of bouncing tits? nothing really, except a skimpy costume to go with it, oh wait! that's the ENTIRE DOA line, especially "DOA Xtreme Volleyball!" that's gay, by letting people go topless and how well that games selling is just showing how X-Box users think, i never got all riled up over zelda or princess peach, but i guess that's just me, xtreme volleyball is doing pretty good in sales which shows how perverted x-box users are! so don't argue, many if not all people will agree with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Gamecube has some nice games, however in the tradition of Nintendo, you have to buy all new games! I have no silver spoon in my mouth and many of the games are still in the upper $50 range. At least with PS2 you can still play the old games....which is why Sony will win in the long run!

Rogue Nine Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Prove me wrong. I don't think so. Just because you dislike th Xbox is no reason to go about assuming that I like the DOA series simply for the pixelated boobs. You make constant references to that in response to my statements. Now, don't you dare piss me off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Originally posted by obi-wan13 Im getting a Game Boy Advance on Tuesday. It any good? (im getting the AOTC game to go with it) No! Don't do it man! The big N is releasing a backlit version of the GBA this winter! Wait for that! BTW, the AOTC game is quite possibly the worst game ever made for the gba. Kotor is coming out next spring for the Xbox and next summer for the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Enough. I'll take up no more of this thread with this quibbling. Leave it be. I'll PM you later. Don't use up any more of this thread for arguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebelwerfer_ Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 no more arguing, start a new thread. I started this thread to get some counsel about what to spend my money on, and since then I bought a Ge-force 4, which kicks butt. It was a 64 meg xstasy geforce 4. very cool and only $100 new, but they say the 128 meg ones are way better, but they are $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
