CagedCrado Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 If a game is only for xbox, what does this really mean? Well heres what it means: they advertise the games in a desperate attempt to sell them, but since the average viewer of adds is uninformed, they are tricked to believe it is only for xbox. The way that microsoft gets away with this is that there is an extra level that just dosent fit the game. This really makes me unhappy, if i were to of bought an xbox i would have felt pretty gipped. I also like the other dumb trick where they have the xbox and windows signs on in a white box on black backgrounds. Moral of the story: not only does xbox not have great original games, microsoft has lied and cheated the system to improve its stand point (which hasnt worked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 If you think about it, it really is a good thing for Microsoft. Just think.......what is one way to get ppl to buy your new "next generation game system?" The answer, make games that are only available for that system that are good enough that ppl would want. ex. HALO So really, it is good business for them and what is the one thing you want to do in business.......??? MAKE MONEY!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 if a games is only released for xbox doesnt mean its crap. like leemu said, if its a good game and ppl want it, ppl will buy the console to be able to play the game. so they sell a game and a console => money.

Originally posted by CagedCrado Moral of the story: not only does xbox not have great original games I don't think this is true at all. Originally posted by CagedCrado microsoft has lied and cheated the system to improve its stand point (which hasnt worked) If what you're saying is true, it's pretty shonky advertising, but I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be. Isn't advertising supposed to be misleading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CagedCrado Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 Atleast you read the post correctly, and yes i admit that is what advertising is about because i am doing it for PS2 and gc right now your mom is kind of dumb not to let you get a system because of 2 vulgar games....... #1 most obvious example: tony hawk two, that is definetly not an xbox only game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Shutt Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Originally posted by CagedCrado #1 most obvious example: tony hawk two, that is definetly not an xbox only game But it's being advertised as one?

Acrylic Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Originally posted by Sivy B i heard a rumor it would be x-mas 2003 well, thats definately a rumor. that would mean about 3 years after the release of the ps2. which is not good. they kept us waiting 6 years for a ps2 when the ps1 was out. and i expect to do the same with this. so they have more time to improve graphics and stuff. and plus i heard the ps3 will use these new kinda discs, that will be able to hold about 3x more data than a DVD. they will be called blue ray discs (or something like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrion Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Halo, in fact, is what I hate about the X-Box mostly. We waited until Bungie could send out Halo. We waited anxiously. I had never even dreamed of buying a X-Box(All that money could be spent buying a PS2,or heck even more Final Fantasies;)). So when I heard that Halo was coming out for the X-Box, I hated microsoft a little more(note that I had Windows 98 at the time,so I got blue screens of death) than I did before. But what really ticked me off is that they decided to make Halo 2 before porting Halo..... Besides, microsoft didnt make the game, they just bought out Bungie and sold the games on X-box only to get thier greedy little hands(excluding the hard workers,who proboly are like the servant in "jack frost") on more money. Whew:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JandoFett1842 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 well all (refrases that: most {for JO with the sabs cuz most fps dont have swords/sabers}) fps have something in common, 1st person (sometimes 3rd person) view, guns, point and shoot game play, and killing people/things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacco Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I read a newspaper artical about X-box reveiws. It said that one man got an X-box the first day it came out and now it gathers dust underneath his tv. (he dosen't play it anymore, even with the new games that came out lately. He says it's boring. He is arguing with Microsoft to give his $300 back) Hmm. I wonder why. I don't have one but I keep hearing reviews about it. Some good some bad.
