The "Xbox Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This is me, a serious X-Box fanboy and it is not a stupid consoles war post I just want everyone who is either into the X-BOX or gaming in general to read this, I know it is long but please read it, you will finally see why we are here for a long time!
The X-Box can not be compared to the GC becuase the X-Box wins hands down. Instead of bringing out say 1 good game a month and the rest are a waste of time the X-Box is bringing out 3-4 amazing games a month and between now and christmas this will increase. I can't believe that the X-Box has only been out just over 5 weeks in the UK because the games we have seen and played so far win GOTY before the end of year has arrived. Many complain about ports, nut just look at how the PS2 mashes ports up, take Max Payne for example, the X-Box version is the best version of the game yet and it is not a biased opinioin as most people share this opinioin and on the net reviews rate the game higher or equal than the PC version and the only reasons why it was faulted was becuase it was too short (nothing to do with the port) and no level editor (port problem). Then take the PS2 version:
No quick save
Load times are shocking
Graphics are very poor
sounds are dumbed down
DOLBY 5.1 is not apparent
Frame rate is terrible
There we go 1-0 to the X-box!
Then lets take SSX Tricky, the PS2 version was good, the GameCube version was appauling LOL! and once more the X-Box version wins once more due to popular opinioins and amazing graphical enhancements (mainly in the lighting department) to the other 2 version. The GameCube version thined all the characters down to make them look stupid, the graphics had been dumbed down for some strange and unknown reason (well it is known can't handle em) and it was rated the poorest out of the lot.
Before you jump the gun forget the, " Nintendo wanted to create a console ideal for games and nothing else ", becuase it is utter rubbish! The GameCube contains neither DVD playback nor a Hard Drive which means no internet play and no option to download extra levels or characters and game Demos. Lets all face it even the PS2 could do this (no offence to PS2 owners it is my 2nd favourite console and I hope it does well) and this goes to show that it was rushed out to compete as they are even supposedly adding a DVD player to the console (emphesis on supposedly) and if they had thought things over properly and not rushed the console out then they might last maybe a day longer than the N64!
Forget the Resident Evil rubbish, read reviews on www.gamespot.com and www.ign.com to find out that the game is nothing ultra special and is just an update in the series and look at it this way, the PS2 new that the series was coming to an end after a great career so they sold the franchise to guess what people... NINTENDO, LOL! All Nintendo seems to do is rehash old games from other consoles of both their own and other consoles. Anyone can bring out old games, Microsoft could just release:
Shenmue 1
Jet Grind Radio
Virtua Tennis 1
Virtua Tennis 2
But instead they have had the brains to bring out the latest addition like:
Jet Set Radio Future
Shenmue 2
Microsoft are giving gamers what they want, no-one wants old rehashes of ex PLAYSTAION ONE games! LOL, face it the GameCube is a console that is not going to survive and it should have been called an N64.2!
All these games that you list as great games:
Die Hard Vendetta
Mario
Metroid
Star Fox
They are all old (bar Die Hard) and I bet you now maybe 2 of them will score 80% in reviews, just stop giving out all this rubbish about, " we have the best games " when clearly the X-Box list makes me drool just looking at it! I could go out and list a few X-Box titles that will only appeal to a select audience and say, " look these games sound good lets go promote them without any evidence or facts "! I know one GameCube owner that owns all 3 top consoles and a great PC that will admit that the GameCube is utter kids play and wishes he never bought one, but all you on here are so imature that all your arguments stem from the same thing, RUBBISH!
Look at the impact games like:
Halo

The GameCube has not had this impact, maybe Star Wars: Rouge Squadron has had a small effect but nothing like Halo and the other games listed above and THEY WERE ALL LANCH TITLES! With over 200 amazing games promised before Christmas on top of the having the worlds most powerful graphical and sound engine that all you Ninties could only dream of and we have the Worlds MOST POWERFUL games console and with the games to back it up! THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN ARGUE WITH, NOTHING! How can you complain about all the games out and coming out when they are truly mouth watering.
This is a desperate plee to just SHUT YOUR MOUTHS AND KNOW YOUR ROLES! Because in here we are sick of all you GameCube owners trying to convince yourselves that you have made the right descion! If you think you have then I AM PLEASED FOR YOU, YES THAT IS RIGHT I AM PLEASED FOR YOU, IN FACT I AM OVER THE MOON! But just stop coming into the X-Box forum with naff arguments and sales figures beacuase they are all wrong! The X-Box is picking up sales in Europe and Japan, in America it is alreday doing amazingly well and in Austraillia they had to increase shipping by 41% just to please consumers with the Worlds Most powerul games console!
Whatever you come back with I am not interested, I have held off with pure power facts because all you Ninties deny them BEACUASE YOU ARE JELOUS but if you want em I will give them to you. As IGN quote themselves ' WITH OVER 70 GAMES OUT AND 200 PROMISED BY CHRISMAS MORE AND MORE GREAT X-BOX GAMES ARE BEING CONCIEVED EACH DAY'!
As 'THE ROCK' himself would say 'THE X-BOX IS THE BEST THING ON THIS SIDE OF THE PILLOW SO ALL YOU NINTIES GO LAY THE SMACKDOWN SOMEWHERE ELSE AND KNOW YOUR ROLES JABRONIS'! ALL YOU X-BOX FANS JOIN WITH ME AS WE PREACH IT'S POWER AND CAPABILITIES ACROSS THESE FORUMS AND GET FAITH IN ALL US PROUD OWNERS! SONG IT OUTLOUD! 'IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL... WHAT GARBE123 AND BILL GATES AND THE X-BOX AND ALL YOU X-BOX FANS ON HERE AND OUT THERE... ARE... COOKING! JUST BRING IT NINTIES!

Never seen him before either. See a pattern emerging? The people who are slating the Xbox aren't the Ninty forum goers, they are just mindless idiots. Insulting the GameCube is not offending them, it's just offending us Nintendo fans, and I'm sure you don't want to be disliked by the whole of the Ninty forum.

Kireba, I must say I have never seen before, obviously not a Ninty regular.
doublezero the idiot spends most of his time in here slagging us off! He says the X-Box is failing but with no evidence to back it up and clearly the console is not failing it is on the up, and fast!
But I do not go around putting the GameCube down and I have only done this through retaliation and pure anger towards the muppets that post stuff like this.
Kireba the idiot from the other thread giving us pathetic sales information.
yeah I challenge you to find people who are spamming this rubbish in your forum. I doubt very much that they are regulars in the Ninty forum, as most of the people who now post regularly in the Ninty forum are now past their biased stage (because we don't tolerate that kind of crap in the Ninty forum... :D) or have been there for ages (like me) and are pretty well respected there. I for one rarely bother doing gaming posts anymore, I probably will when I have something interesting and original to say, and when I get a GameCube later.
Anyway, original point is I doubt any of the Ninty forum regulars are the problem, so mindlessly insulting the GameCube is going to get you nowhere.

But ther whole argument is one BIG flaw and this is why I get mad. At least I have given you reasons why, all we get it " it is big therefore it is naff ", " the price makes it rubbish ", " just look at the pad, it is rubbish "! This is what we get and there isn't even any play tests spoken of, at least I have played a GameCube! Why do they run in and put posting this rubbish when I keep opinoins like this to myself? Most if not all of us in here (the X-Box forum) are reallynice people and easy to talk to and I would challenge you to find in your forum someone who is spam rubbish about the GameCube from this forum! I am a decent person that has now from this got a reputation all becuase I wanted to help and defend my console from rubbish!
Okay, advice time.
1) if you see a topic is going to be biased rubbish DON'T READ IT!
2) if you feel you have to, just reply not saying that your Xbox is much better blah, blah. I haven't replied to this topic with "GameCube rocks coz I said so" stuff, I merely picked flaws in your argument. If you see someone is being biased, pick the flaws in their argument rather than just trying to prove them wrong by quoting some facts figures etc.
3) You say you're just giving an exampe of what you have to face each day. Well I'm sure you insist that the topics you face each day are crap, or you wouldn't get so annoyed at them. Now if this is an example of what you face eah day, and waht you face each day is crap, then I think I should be able to call what you wrote crap, simply because it is not a weighed up argument, and is blatently biased.
Finally, this is not a personal attack on you, don't take it personally, and try to calm down.

EXACTLY! All I am doing id defending my X-Box, as I have said before I do not put the GameCube down and I keep my opinions to myself but I feel to have reached a limit that everyone is pushed to sometimes! I stay well away from your forum becuase I do not have anything to say that anyone else in there wants to hear and I can't understand why they do it to us? Is there a reason? and you wonder why I retaliate!
I am a newbie and up until now I have got on with everyone, I have won 1 GAD which I am pleased of, I do reviews and posts to chat about stuff and I just want to get on with everyone. I have been pushed to my limit and this is why I have posted this becuase I am sick of them running in like little sheep and posting a load of RUBBISH! Why don't you understand this?
