"Why does the Cube miss out on Big Titles?"

I know Acclaim left Ninty, so we won't get Burnout 3, but why didn't:

Eidos give us Hitman: Contracts
Why is Max Payne on GBA and not Cube
EA give us Fight Night 04
Why do Ubisoft take so long to bring games onto Cube
Why don't Rockstar make games for Cube
Codemasters give us McRae
THQ give us Moto GP

Is it cuz they wouldn't sell on the Cube?? I need answers man . . . . . . . .

You guys get drawn into these things too easily. THe ignore button should have been the first thing that you clicked when you read what this whale-schlong started spewing idiocy everywhere.

Halo is more accessable than Metroid Prime..

Again it's comparing games that have strengths in different areas...

Sure MP and Halo have similarities but there strengths lie in different places.

Pikmin and GTA are both about giant sprawling worlds you can play with but that's it.

Unless I'm mistaken isn't FF a RPG, so comparing it to a more action and puzzle based adventure title is just a stupid thing to do.

Let's see. First of all, Morrowind and FF are totally different games to zelda.

And Morrowind is better than Zelda? Or any FF (except VII, which is not as good as Zelda: OOT). What version have you been playing?

Finally! Somebody who shares my opinion!

A ridiculous storyline, repetitive gameplay and utter lack of any kind of freedom or enjoyable sidequests that are almost compulsory in modern RPGs.

I got some enjoyment out of it, but it pales in comparison to the likes of Skies of Arcadia: Legends.

Hmm. Looks like we've got an OXM reader. Listen mate - forget the crap you're talking and actually open your mind. Games are about fun, not loyalty or criticism.

Yeah. Likewise.

Anyone who thinks any FF on the PS2 - that is, the dull FFX and painfully wrong FFX-2 is better than Zelda is obviously a metal cockshank.

And even the GBA, a handheld console (omg wtflol!) sold more than the XB, and the PS2, and the GC. What exactly was your point?

Ha, you stupid mong. I own both Metroid Prime and Halo. In my opinion, Metroid Prime is far, far better. Marrowind and Final Fantasy better than Zelda? You really are an idiot.

Pikmin, Sunshine, Zelda and Prime are all better than GTA as well, and let me give you a little fact: the GBA has sold more than the XBox, and the GameCube has sold more units worldwide. Does that matter? Nope, although maybe it does to a complete nobtard like yourself who bases opinion on sales figures and 'adult content' in games.

But I suppose gaming will always have its retarded fanbase like yourself. Although you'll never read this, I suppose the best thing you can do when you're losing an argument is ignore it, take your ignorant, moronic views elsewhere and hope that somewhere deep in the depths of the planet you'll find someone more idiotic than yourself.

Good day to you sir, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

You are talking total crap you stupid, stupid individual. Halo is better than Metroid Prime. I would know, because i have played both and Halo makes Metriod look rubbish.

Zelda is total garbage, compared to the likes of Morrowind on the Xbox and Final Fantasy on the Playstation 2.

The 'cube has killer titles? HAHAHA. Like Pikmin. OMG, ok, say Pikmin is the Gamecubes best game. The Playstation 2 best game is probably GTA. That beats Pikmin easilly.

Halo 1 or 2 or Doom 3 on the Xbox will make mince meat out of any Gamecube title. Here is a fact for your lame mind: Even the GBA, a handheld console sold more than the Gamecube!

But Hedfix these games do help the sales... but it is Halo that has sold the X-box and still does.

Joe Gamer buys and X-box for Halo.

I must admit I have never played Knights of the Old Republic so I cannot comment on that...

But the likes of Blinx, Grabbed by the Gholies, Project Gotham (it is just a racing game after all), Dead or Alive, SEGA GT, Amped etc...

All of which are games that to me scream "Why don't you have an X-box yet"...

I'll tell you why because I finished Dead or Alive in 5 minutes, Project Gotham is just the racing genre getting refined, Blinx is an idea not quite realised, Amped pales in comparison to 1080 and grabbed by the Gholies is crap.

Not that the X-box is bad at all just that the games seem like last generation games but with the addition of online play.

I'll say it again if you want fun, simple and clever titles get a Nintendo system.

If you want serious, online and first person shooter titles then get an X-box.

If you want a large library of games to suit the fact you have multiple taste in games then get a PS2.

I don't see how Nintendo game can be called average though considering how surprising they tend to be.
