"ALL X-BOX FANS READ THIS!"

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
RalliSport Challenge
Project Gotham Racing
Max Payne
Dead Or Alive III
Jet Set Radio Future
WWF: Raw Is War
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions

And with the likes of:

Air Force Delta Storm
Black And White
Bruce Lee: Quest For the Dragon
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Commandos 2
Conflict Desert Storm
Dead To Rights
Die Hard
Dino Crisis 3
Good Cop Bad Cop
Gun Valkyrie
Halo 2
Hitman 2
House of the Dead 3
Hunter: The Reckoning
The Matrix: Reloaded (gonna be the best game ever)
Max Payne 2
Medal Of Honour: Allied Assault
Metal Gear Solid Substance
Midtown Madness 3
Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis
Pac Man World 2
Prisoner Of War
Rainbow Six: Raven Shield
Return to Castle Wolfinstien
Serious Sam
Shenmue II
Shenmue III
Soul Calibur 2
State Of Emergency
Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter Special Edition
SWAT: Global Strike Team
Terminator Dawn of Fate
Timesplitters 2
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Unreal Championship
X-MEN Wolverines Revenge

Hitting our shops this year and early next year, TAKE COVER NINTIES!


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!

Yes, how very drole, you know seem to think Xbox is best because the rock, some American 'hard man' who is paid to pretend to hurt others and pretend to get hurt was hired by Bill Gates to say Xbox was best. Well done, you win the moron of the week competition.

Right - One last post. Read the posts Savatt. It wasn't me who was posting rubbish - read Garbes posts. Biased - Yes. Un-substantiated - Yes. I know there are people who post bad stuff, but there are 'XBox fans' who post bad stuff, as well as 'Ninties'.

I agree 100%, they should just leave us alone as we enjoy what we want to do without them. Anyways I am off to watch Crimson Tide on ITV1 its a great film, nice talkin to you Savatt.

Thing is, a lot of people on here are getting annoyed with all this stuff now - me included because I'm always having to repeat the same points all the time.

I don't mind doing it if someone wants to seriously discuss comparisons between consoles, but these stupid console size arguements, etc are just becoming annoying now.

I can't seem to post on here lately about anything other than X-Box vs GC because Ninties come in here and try to spoil everything with stupid comments all the time. Its not decent backed up arguements most of the time, just pathetic comments with the intention of winding people on here up.

I go in the Ninty forum to post about GC as I own one and I don't see anywhere near the abuse we seem to get in here so I think its a bit out of order that they do it. As I said, if they want to compare consoles with decent arguements or just share the experiences they're having then fine, but I've personally had enough of these stupid comments that are always being added in here. A number of us in here are really trying to make this a nice forum to come into and talk about the X-Box. It gets to me that people from the Ninty forum are coming in here and doing what they are doing.

I don't want this place to be full of crap spam like most of the other forums. If PC and PS2 owners are winding them up all the time, then fight it out with them, not the people in here who don't cause them hassle.

LOL, oh its ok savatt I haven't got anything against you. It looks like they have gona though and left us to play on our consoles in peace but for how long no-one knows!

I'm only messing you around garbe. ;-)

Seriously though, that D-pad can be a nightmare. Obviously a lot of beat em ups will suffer with it. When I play Rogue Leader, I've lost count of the amount of times I've tried to get my wingmen to chase the TIE's and its registered as ordering them to flee or form up.

I don't think that camera analogue will be very nice for FPS games either. I'll hold back that judgement till I try it though. Maybe once I'm playing an FPS I'll get on ok with it.

No Savatt I haven't swiped your post, my friend imported one last december from america and the set control system was A to open flaps and that is the only time I played it!

D-Pad is too small

But the D-pad doesnt get used much in most games on the GameCube. On Rogue Leader it is only used to give orders out to the rest of your fleet and on Smash brothers it is only used to taunt your oponent.

Could be a problem when it comes to serious fighters such as soul caliber though...

Hope your not swiping my posts garbe with that controller opinion. ;-)

It was the R button mate, not the A button. ;-) But basically those are the things I dislike about the GC controller. I also think the Z button is in an awkward position.

Although the X-Box controller isn't the sexy model of controllers, I find it the most practical for the different genres.

Edgy - if you get an X-Box sometime, you might wanna look at the smaller official pad thats going to be released in the near future. Don't know when it coming out exactly yet, but seeing as your in no rush to pick up the console right now it should be released before you start maybe looking into it. ;-)

Oh I see, why didn't he say so then? The best corner was given to X-BOX with the most promising titles for this year and next!
