"The GameCube might not have quite as many exclusives as the competition, but when a GameCube game goes big, it goes huge."

Just received this email from Gamespot.

Heheheh!

So then, there was no trace of irony in anything either of you said in this thread and I'll say again.. why f*&king bother???? Don't drag up the same old arguments every single day, if you don't like the PS2 ignore it/don't compare it to the consoles you do like - this is the Gamecube forum!

I think Alistair knows how I behave on these forums.

In all honesty I think the PS2 is a dire utility for gaming. Hopefully the PS3 will have some decent innovation and some modern peripherals that aren't just gimmicks.

How many times do I have to say it? Outside of 2-3 exclusive titles that aren't worth buying a console to play there really isn't anything of remote interest. I am open to play any type of game but I refuse to play a poor version or poor alternative when I can buy a better version/alternative elsewhere.

Seeing as I have owned and sold 2 PS2's I think I hve given it more than a fair chance to prove itself. The only game that will draw me back if any will be Metal Gear 3 , however it looks like its heading to the PC shortly after and it all depends if they can rectify how poor Metal Gear Solid 2 was in places.

Oh yes, you are manipulating us all with your puppet strings, you're AMAZING... groan....

I'll take that as an admission that everything you have said about the PS2 is overblown, incorrect and purely for effect?

Alastair, you seem to be backing him up... were you also being a wind-up merchant? You can appreciate that the PS2 is a quality console and sells well for a good reason? (I doubt it)

It was an ironic comment of genius proportions.

Ho Ho.

1. Slagging off the PS2's very easy, it basically does it to itself
2. What's amusing is deliberately making an "over-enthusiastic" comment and then seeing people bend over backwards to right what they see to be injustices. Infact these people end up turning into the real "over-enthusiastic" people that the original poster was trying to be.
3 (sort of part of number 2 but it deserves it own number) IRONY IS DELICIOUS

Oh and this person must be spot on with his/her analysis.

Ho Ho.

(and it's the same game)

PS2, GC, DC, GBA and Playstation.

I would like to quote from somebody at NTSC-UK who recently described out the difference between a 'fan' and a 'fanboy'.

A fan will say, yeah, I love margarine.

A fanboy will say "margarine rocks, but I F&^KING HATE BUTTER" and then proceed to tell everyone why butter is rubbish.

Hedfix, you implied I was a fanboy, but I've said nothing negative about the GC... just tried to respond to all the ridiculous slagging being given to the PS2 (even when it's not even part of the current topic).

Darwock, what consoles do you actually own?
