ps2 4 eva!
cool out!
i wrote down some stuff in the "thinking about buying a xbox" thread go have a look at that
However, what I hate is people going arround saying "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!X BOX IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
and
"x-box rules, no need for further comment here".
Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I love the Xbox. I have one sitting under the TV right now, and have just been playing Jet Set Radio - one of the most creative games devised.
If you're going to make a view about a console, at least back it up with something. I wouldn't have a problem if this topic actually began a debate about the pros and cons of the console - indeed, there are a few things I would like to see improved.
Likewise, I have no problem with people saying that the console is great so long as they back it up with a good reason. For example, "I enjoy the games" is an excellent reason.
As for Pumba, the reason I had a go at him was two fold. Firstly, his poor use of the English language. YOU ARE NOT HAVING A TXT CONVO! Secondly, his shallow points, such as:
"if the xbox is so crap y wud it have a hard drive of 80,000 gigabytes woteva there caled and y wud they take perfect dark and have halo (the best game) hmmm, and its ur opinion 2 call me a muppet"
Let's analyse this piece of nonsense shall we...
To begin with, the Xbox does not have 80,000 gigabytes. To do so, it would have to be as big as my front room. I've heard jokes about the console being big, but this is absurd. Oh, and yes, the console does have a few dozen Gb of harddisk space... but this has no bearing on how good the console is - that's all in the games...
Which brings us onto Perfect Dark and Halo. I don't actually understand what 80,000 Gb HDDs have to do with these games.. could you enlighten me? And yes, these games are fantastic, epic perhaps, but you never actually explain this in English.
Finally, I never said "the xbox is so crap". All i said was two simple things:
1) Why did you make a comment AFTER you said that no further comment was needed.
2) Why do you make pointless contributing to topic like "Xbox rules, no more comment needed". This is a discussion forum, so discuss.

Somebody has got the wrong person!
Look who wrote it!
Whoops!
btw, J-42 was the person who actually wrote this topic in the first place. He was stuck in an account and instead of emailing them to delete it or just deleting his cookies so he could change the account, he did this to try and get his account banned...
Sad...
> You go around forums thinking that the notable status means that
> whatever you say must be right, well its not.
It isn't Sonic's notable status that gives him the confidence to make him think he is right.
It is the fact that he is.
Knowledge is the key of everything, I stalk through the Nintendo forum and when a question is asked if i am first on the scene I will reply.
Because I know... I am one of those sad people who are heavily experienced in these forums to know what is right and wrong.
Comments that Sonic replied to was a false comment to make... we've seen them thousands of times before and in fact we used to say them a lot as well.... as we 'grow up' in gaming we discover a more intricate understanding and philosophical belief about what should be said and what context they should be used in.
Sonic's notable status will not phase me in what he says... if he starts argueing about SEGA the fact that I know he is far more experienced and knowlegable in that area means that I would be phased... Yet if we argued about Nintendo I would hope at least he would feel the same...
We are all experienced in thousands of different fields of gaming... Resievilfan is an expert in Resident Evil for example... Sonic and I have been in countless arguments and to see a comment such as 'x-box rules nuff said' is a frustrating comment because enough hasn't been said.
If i read that comment first I would have replied with 'Why?'.
"...as we 'grow up' in gaming we discover a more intricate understanding and philosophical belief about what should be said and what context they should be used in..."
Pish because you're a notable you think you can get away with anything :)
xbox sux!!!!!!!!!!!!
yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
