his is how it went.
F1."I got The Getaway last night, it's so good"
Me "The getaway is a piece of over-indulgent and over hyped peice of crap"
F1. "No it's not, it's excellent, it's the best game on the ps2"
Me "No it's a pile of steaming dog t**d"
F2. "Your just saying that because it's not on Gamecube"
Me. "No i'm not, it really does suck"
F1. "Oh yeah then, what' the best game on gamecube then"
Me "Propobly, Metroid prime"
F2. "Metod what?"
Me."Metroid prime"
F1." I've never heard of it, it must be crap then2
F2. "Yep Besides it's on the gamecube, so it's bound to suck"
Me. "The only reason you havn't heard of it is because it isn't out here yet, once it's out you'll hear about it"
F1. "No i won't, it'll suck, i mean come on, the console pink!"
Me. "It's purple actually"
F1. "Oh, that's much better"
* Then some retards, (you know the ones are in the "IN" crowd, and own a console because of coolness and not cos of gameplay), over hears us and interups*
Retard 1. "The gamecube sucks, it's only for children"
Retard 2. "Yeah, any one who owns one is sad"
F2. "simon owns one"
Retard 1 " Do you?"
Me. "Yes"
Retard 2. "Hahahaha, what are you?, two years old?"
Me. "No, i just don't need to have the "coolest" and sadest console, just because everyone else has it, i'm not quite that sad"
F2. "Hey, ps2 is the coolest, gamecube sucks"
Me. "If you knew anything at all about gaming, you'd see it, but you know nothing, you just own a console to pretend to be cool."
*F1 and F2 ask people sitting around us which they think is better, everyone sas ps2, half of the people who answer don't even have consoles at all"
F2 "See Ps2 is better"
Me "Wel, you won't have it for long soince ninty are sueing them, you woudn't have your console if it wasn't for nintendo"
*No-one spoke about the subject till we got outside*
F3. "I got a ps2 for xmas"
Me. "Poor sod"
*It all starts up again and repeats itself*
I think i need to get some new friends, ones that arn't complete retards!

That's a bit harsh. I own a PS2 and GameCube, and though I prefer Nintendo's machine, had been looking forward to The Getaway for years. When I finally got to play on it, I was forcing myself to like it - despite the fact that I was quite bored. I ended up buying the game, only to return to Vice City - which is by far superior. Overall, I'd give The Getaway 6.8/10.

That in itself is an opinion. I would doubt it's amazability.

But that's biased opinion. When you were playing it, whether you realised it or not, you were constantly hoping that it would be bad, looking for faults etc, so your precious Cube wasn't outdone. I admit, it isn't the best game in the world, and the driving bits far outdo the parts on foot, but still a good game.

Yep, one hour equals extensively. Honest.

Yes you would, you'd be all over it. We both know it. The only reason you pretend to loathe it is because it isn't available on the Cube.

No, you're not. That's my point.

You having trouble posting Microchips?
It takes me ages to post and sometimes does double posts.

Yes, I agree. Maybe, and I do emphasise on maybe, if you were to use some backed-up comments in your argument, you may find yourself in a better position.

Reminds me of when I was at school and had a N64. It wasn't until a few of my mates played on Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros round my house. They soon changed their minds.
I have been able to convert a lot of people to GameCube. There's one person who is impossible to convert. As soon as I say Super mario Sunshine and eternal Darkness are good he just says they are rubbish and has only heard of them.

I've played the getaway several times, and i think it's crap, i don't judge games by appearances,but by gameplay, i must have played the getaway for about 2 hours last week.

Well, my local import shop has got a demo area in it, with a gamecube just for metroid Prime, i played for about an hour.

The Getaway IS crap, i'm not being hypocritical, that's my opininion, i wouldn't go near it even if it was on gamecube
I believe you've also made yourself out to be a lot more

I've got a friend with an X-box, I laaughed at him, but I'm not bothetred now, as I've onmly played 2 games, but when he first got it, and Halo and Mad Dash Racing were his only games, I laughed, tyhen got addicted to MDR.
I have a messed up trans-fanboy. He is fanboyish about a different console every 2 months, and laughs at Metyroid Prime every second day. At least he's jealous about LOZ thopiugh. And Mario Kart, of course.
