The "Xbox Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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
RalliSport Challenge

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!

Did I mention its not funny and most people think that only a sad kn*b with an infinitley sad life would bother searching for it.
It doesn't hurt to leave the house you know, you should try it sometime, the bigger boys won't push you around.

You are correct Jabroni. :D
All I've got to say on this topic at present is that it is a stupid console wars post. :D

1. I popped it because this comment sitting in this thread was very funny to few select few on MSN.
2. The original post is STILL funny.
3. It's like watching Keanu Reeves in the Bill and Ted movies and then watching the Matrix. You just can't take Reeves seriously; after that, same goes for this post and Ali's 'voice of gaming' attitude.

Actually I was pointing out the delicious irony of your attempts to call me a fanboy.
But go and turn it into some sort of crusade why don't you?
Quuite frankly you could've made the comment about 'console specific' bias on any number of games and I still wouldh ave found it hilarious to compare your comments to this thread.
Face it: it's funny.

About 9 pages since this forum's so slow, whilst chatting on MSN. The Irony was too delicious to pass up.

I think if you read the original post you will discover who the truly sad person is on here.

...Definately not true... :)
Although I'll have to agree, the amount of time Hedfix seems to spend on these forums is scary! :D Plus, it was a bit (Nah, a lot) pointless popping this topic.

He popped it because like a little infant he couldn't take what I had to say about RAW 2 and instead popped something that was loooooooooooooong before his time and something he didn't have a clue about at the time. Maybe when he grows up someone will explain why I did this (stupidly) at that very time.
Anyway let it drop again although no doubt another idiot will come along and pop it. I will ask the staffies to delete it if they do again as although it was hilarious to read through again it is ultimately boring and old hat now.
