"convince me about the gamecube, go on...."

i have a ps2 and an x box and have to say i am completly happy with them, the ps2 blew me away when i got it but the x box has nealry killed me, it is just so f***ing good.

now, i have seen a few cheep deals on eBay and in my local paper for the gamecube (uk and us) i just want to know from nintendo fans some REAL facts as to why the GC is worth getting, its power is feeble compard to the X Box and the games such as zelda, mario and pikmin dont apeal to me as im a mature gamer and dont want the cartoony or kiddie games, i prefer games such as GTA3 , MGS2 and halo.

so is their anything that the GC can offer me? or is it not worth me getting one?

(please just serious posts, i dont want any - get the GC its the best. I want reasons and facts, and please dont say - get it cause its smaller. to me that makes no difference to me whatsoever)

This topic is a bit sling mud at everyone isn't it?

Anyway in answer to the original question just look at the games:

1080 2
Animal Forest +
Die Hard
Donkey Kong Racing
Eternal Drakness
Legend of Zelda
Luigi' Mansion
Mario Kart
Mario Sunshine
Metroid Prime
Perfect Dark Zero
Pikmin
Phantasy Star Online
Resident Evil (all)
Skies of Arcadia
Soul Calibur 2
Starfox Adventures
Rouge Leader
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Super Monkey Ball
Turok Evolution
Vexx
Wave Race Blue Storm

I think most speak for themselves.

Then there are loads of PS2 ports like SSX tricky and Burnout. But you've probably got them for the PS2 anyway.

What I can't understand is why you are all falling for AFXs plan to wind you all up.

He is a mature gamer, with an XBox and a PS2. Money is obviously not an issue, and he is old enough to make his own mind up. He has no intention of ever picking up a Gamecube. All he wanted to do was give smarta**e replies to your pro-gamecube recommendations.

He isn't bothered about price, size, DVD playing capability, or anyting else like that. So what's left? The games. With a PS2 and XBox he already has access to a vast library of games, and he doesn't like cutey, kiddy games like Monkeyball, Mario, Zelda, or anything like that.

AFX, if you want a Gamecube, get one. If you don't, then don't. Only you know what games you like so stop messing about tormenting others.

Ah well, it got me word count up a bit arguing :o)

y cant u lot all c that the only reason y afx started this topic was to win £50! bloody hell he got you all into a fight about something he didnt even care about. he probbabbly made most of it up n e way!!!!!

What the hell? He's gonna win £50? HA!!!!

Nice to see mature gamers on here isn't it...?

Mature gamers who can't spell. And can't use the correct form of there (or their as he wrote) in the right places. I wish I was that mature.

Why? Because Nintendo makes their own games. They have a guy named Shigeru Miyamoto who is heralded by practically all intelligent gamers (rules you out then) as one of the great gaming minds. He has revolutionised gaming with titles such as Mario 64 and Zelda, and has created some of the greatest gaming masterpieces ever. And if you don't believe me go look at ANY review of Mario 64 or either of the two Zelda N64 titles. In any professional magazine you look it will have close to top marks. Why? Because these games are widely accepted as some of the best ever.


After the hype has gone in a

hmmm yes. Then it'll go on to produce some of the greatest games ever, including a multitude of titles that will set the benchmark for their genre, and even some which will revolutionise that genre. Well, you did say it'd go the way of the N64...

Yeah, we all know how seeing those little children brings back memories of them beating you up because you were a mindless fool who insulted anything he didn't, sorry *couldn't* understand.

Nah, I like the truth. I just don't like people with opinions so biased and pointless as yours.

I think this guy has some obsession with kiddie porno. If he asks for you MSN or E-mail just say NO. Cos I don't think we want to imagine what kinda scary stuff he'll be sending us.

Wow... look, this post doesn't even have spelling mistakes! Shocking stuff. Anyway, see my reply to his reply in the other topic (bet that'll confuse him :D)!

Making jokes at this guys expense is rather amusing...

AFX, just a short message....
you've got an x-box and a PS2 so most games that are made will be on those two consoles, most except for Nintendo and Nintendo second party games. these companies (Nin, Rare etc) make addictive, fun games and chances are that most will be 'kiddie'. but for feck sake, if you can play SSBM and say 'this is a crap game' just because it has no gore, 'mature' content in it, then YOU DONT DESERVE A GC!
Computer games are meant to be an escapism, not super real. if your lookin for 'mature', real content buy a movie!
