"Rejoice !"

For everyone who I have contiually annoyed on the Nintendo forum, I have good news.

Selling my Gamecube on Ebay, and no this is not some advertising thing with a link...

My continued boredom of the console, with games I don't enjoy, has led me to this, along with my love of the X Box which has so far not disappointed me, and actually has more than 3 games coming out this year that I want, which aren't ports.

I'm not saying it is a better console - it is in my opinion - just that it suits me better as the gamer I am, plus I can't afford to run two consoles and still by all the game I wish for them..*eyes Steel Battalion on Xbox*...

Adios, like Rare, I'm waving goodbye to Nintendo :P

~~Belldandy~~

Yes Bellendy, you are wrong there,

Nothing on any other console matches the graphics of Resident Evil (and definately not RE: Zero). Of course it's partly down to it being pre-rendered, however it's also because beleivable graphics are important to this type of game. The evidencing being RE 4's incredible graphics, and this one is full 3D, no pre-rendering.

I sold it for a piano :D

(well money towards a piano)

Then don't get an XBOX WS but that is what I want mine for :)

Idelwind How do you know that Doom 3 isn't any good? Have you played it? Belldandy never said that it was all about graphics so what are you talking about? Until a game is released you can't comment and until you have played it you can not compare it to other games and say that it will never compare! Resident Evil on the GameCube is a WHOLE lot scarier than the original PSONE verison and this is maninly due to the excellent or should I say breath taking graphics and CG movies. No graphics don't mean everything but they add a new dimension to games, especially survival horror games and with a right mixture between graphics and gameplay you can crack a great game (i.e. Splinter Cell, Halo, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness etc).

Why don't you just end it and stop digging your hole deeper?!

Oh shut up Catoni, any idiot can see Doom III will be far supirior to the original 'walk forwards/backwards strafe + shoot' with pants graphics. Oh and don't forget the running around with your nose pressed against the wall hammering the 'open' button to find secret areas (although that was a crime commited mainly by wolfenstien)

If anything it will be 'walk forwards/backwards strafe + shoot' with decent graphics.

Spell GAMEPLAY then look at what you just wrote, will you? It's not all about the graphics, and Doom 3 will never emulate the felling of being damn scared of a few reed pixels that breath fire. I loved Doom. GBA version is calling.. Aha!

Nope

There aren't any [console] exclusives on the Xbox that I want that I can't get ont my PC, and I tihnk perhaps, if I just try hard enough, I can live without Fable and Panzer.

Of course, they all run perfectly with higher resolutions than on the XBox on my lovely super powered PC. And also, I don't have to pay a subscription fee to play them online. And if you know what you're doing, you won't have any 'will it work or not' issues.

Come on children, kiss and make up.

I think that is what attracts me to the Xbox, my PC isn't good enough to run powerful games and it is too expensive to upgrade as I would rather spend the money on another console and Broadband which I am getting in a few weeks anyway. Halo will walys run better on the Xbox no matter what PC you have the Xbox version almost runs without a glitch throughout. Yes I think there are some excellent PC games but I can get them all on my Xbox without any hassle and in full Dolby Digital. To me it isn't worth the hassle or stress of wondering if the PC version will work or break and the Xbox console gives me all the great PC games along with some amazing exclusives (Dead or Alive 3 and Panzer Dragoon Orta for examples).

Does anyone agree with me on this?

The same can be said for Smash Bros, only people who are crap at it think think it's a shallow, mindless fighter.

And actually, many of the best XBox games are on the PC and when I can be bothered to write it, I will post why.

Dead or Alive 3 is without a doubt my favourite fighting game of all time. The graphics are some of the best on the market, the 5.1 is excellent and the gameplay has been hugely improved over other fighting games as countering your opponents moves is the key to success. Mindless fighter? I don't think so, but if you do try bashing a load of buttons and see what actually happens to you :)
