txa1265 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Originally posted by Tesla Trooper I was reading this thread and those who say the gamecube is down the pan have you even asked nintendo , it has great games like the exclusive resident evil games,rouge squadron 2 and now rebel strike,jk2,what about metroid prime which i think personally is better than halo, what about Legend of zelda-the wind waker , super smash bros meele is good to and with the exclusive MGS game and splinter cell just came out so it has to be one of the best consoles around now since it can produce graphics the PS2 can only dream of,and you can only say it is crap if you haven't played it, just some of my personal opinions I have been reading the E3 stuff, and it seems that the GC is indeed alive - and that Nintendo is working on a next version. It seems that they will accept their 3rd place for this round and work for the future. My statements were not based on 1st hand data - I've never owned a console - but on market share and game info I've read. Rebel Strike looks quite cool ...

Tesla Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Just a question, why do you not own a console?? Personally i wouldn't put any of them in a best of three , because they each have there advantages and disadvantages and i have a gamecube, and ps2 and my brother recently got an xbox so for me i enjoy them all.

Sam Fisher Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 The reason the Cube did not sell was because it was $150.00+! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i wouldn't put any of them in a best of three , because they each have there advantages and disadvantages and i have a gamecube, and ps2 and my brother recently got an xbox so for me i enjoy them all. Let's see ... I'm 37 and money is not an issue (to that extent ... money is always an issue ... ). I also have quite a bit of access to computers. I have a few PC's and a couple of Macs, all recent and quite playable for games of all types. But I also have two small kids - 5 and 6.5 - and they like video games much more like I do than my wife does But at their age I'd rather have them doing a decent amount of educational stuff, with the occasional 'Harry Potter' game. So I've kept consoles out. As for the GC not selling - someone said it had something to do with price. $150 is the cheapest out there by $50, and they have decent games. Just not the right mix to dominate. Also, as for waning support, check this out - http://news.com.com/2100-1043_3-1003661.html?tag=fd_top Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I really would like to see it released for the GC! I bought JO for GC! It's really cool, though I used to play the game on PC nearly all the time. But playing JO, with two people at one screen has something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Originally posted by Count_D00ku Cube being discontinued? thats outrageous I bought one I can't believe they are going to do that, they are fantastic little machines, I thought they were doing quite well, Oh well no point crying over spilt milk, I only bought it for Rouge Leader initially. Don't say that! We also own one! Hope there'll be many games released for it in the future! GameCube has a good Price and brings good quality!

Rocketman Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 consoles are no good for fps's. at least for me now because the keyboard/mouse is so vastly superior. i was never able to go back to them once i had started pc gaming. I still have consoles. namely the nintnedo gamecube. i only play games like rogue squadron, smash brothers, zelda: windwaker on it. a console may be able to do the game, but it will never have the ability to customize and modify the game the way a pc can.

Wanderer Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Yeah well, the old discussion PC via Console! No, I prefer the PC as well but you know. Only Games I want to play on PC are JO or Unreal II. For the rest I prefer playing the games on GC with my wife. Because it costs too much time which I haven't anymore because of my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you want to play Galalxies, but it looks like you will only be able to play it on PC now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Well, you know, I'm Star Wars Fan...if I like the game and it's only available for PC maybe I'll buy it then. Thus far I only know of two new games -> JA and -> Knights of the Republic. But heard of Galaxies...do you know what it's like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper X Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 If they can do it with JO they can do it with JA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
