I haven't posted a topic in prime for a long time. I haven't posted a topic that is meant to be read seriously in a long time in either of the FOG forums. This is my honest opinion. by Joby Stephens.
Eight years ago I didn't know any of you. I was an energetic kid who really only was starting to like girls and marvel at how they developed and also I was loving games and dreamt about killing Luigi to take his place. There was only enough room for Nintendo in my life. Girls came second. School work third. Sega was the devil itself. I was a complete and utter Nintendroid.
Five ago I was enjoying looking at how my females friends had changed, I hid my hobby of gaming as it was deemed for freaks and nerds at my public school. I still only wanted to hear about Nintendo items. Nothing else was any good. If it wasn't going to be released on the N64. It was worthless. It was crap. It was NOTHING.
*stands up quickly, looks in mirror and sighs*
Oh how I have changed.
*glances around his room and onto the many many wall brackets around the television*
I now have all the consoles, in one room. I dreamt of this display when I was young. Seriously. My dreams did not move, only this image. I which my current dreams do come true in the future. I can't wait to have a jacuzzi with Rachel Stevens... opps. Anyway, I have worked something out. About consoles and gaming, and women (thanks Goatboy). I will talk about the consoles and gaming though (sorry Grix). ;)
Everyone is always going on about one company or another, if its liking them or hating them. Defaming them for 'childish' games or labelling them 'rich fools who make a huge gay console'. The fact of the matter is that each of the three consoles out on sale at the moment are brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Which is best? Thats down to personal preference. My favorite at the moment is the GameCube. Not because of the games either, its just so easy to move from television to television. In my house thats needed.
However, that doesn't mean I don't like the other two. Let me start by saying I have to really struggle to like the cosmetics of the XBox. I really don't like the company behind the console you see, however I brought the console and gave it a chance and I now realise the potentional this thing has. I really do hope Microsoft get it right but also don't hurt other gaming companies in the industry at the same time (because thats what they do).
The Sony Playstation, I am very impressed with. GTA3 is worth what I paid for the console on its own. MGS2 is a very decent game and Final Fantasy X is a great game. Shame about the DVD player, however I have the XBox so no worries!
I have brought the most games for the GameCube. Why? Because I love the games on it. I do get bored of them however while I first start to play and complete the enjoyment factor really make me miss my girlies calling me or anything thrown in my face. Even baps. At times....
Potentional, thats a huge word. One I seem to be using a lot in all cases of the four consoles, The Playstation has potential because its just doing so well! The Gamecube has potentional and that is evident from the games out in the next two quarters. The XBox has potentional. A huge amount of potentional and it really needs to start living up to its power. The fourth console.. all women have potentional. Especially my ones. Damn right they are consoles. (awaits a beating from all directions).
Vanilla Sky.
Open your eyes.
There is enough room for all three of the consoles.
Thank you for reading.

Having a job helps.
I have to choose my games carefully now. I really don't have any money. :(

Nintendo still rule in my opinion.
But look at my tagline.
I'm both.
I used to hate the Xbox, but only because I was surrounded by partial gamers that didn't know ANYTHING and they kept repeatedly annoying me with the various accusations thrown at the 'Cube. Now that I calmed down and have esacped their short-sightedness, the Xbox appeals to me greatly, in the form of Halo, Unreal, roject Gotham, and the like.
I would sooner have all three consoles than hate one of them and keep argueing.
Xbox will be mine when the price drops..again...in a few years :-D
:-(

Sodding fools. I need games now...
Mario should make me unpack my Cube though.
Although, to be honest with you, i havnt even completed Paper Mario on the N64. It just lost its magic towards the end...Got pretty far on it though.

Riqu,... riqauil oh sod it, Ortega you are bound to feel like that, even I Dringo the biggest Nintendo sad act around hasn't played on the Cube for ages. There isn't anything there keeping me going back, not even smash brothers.
But from the first week in September to the first week in October... There will be 5 top class games coming out... Can't wait.

My Ninty roots are dying...
I anticipated the GameCube launch for well over a year. EVen ordered two of them for launch day! Twas nice seeing old postie carrying two large boxes on May 3rd...
But now that I've got it, i dont really give a toss about it. My GameCube is packed away in my wardrobe.
Its the bloody summer hols. I used to sometimes skip school with mates to play Goldeneye/Wrestlemania...But now i got all the free time i want...i dont wanna play on sodding consoles...*sigh*
PS2 still gets used for Pro Evolution. But thats about it. Thats about all actually.
Perhaps Mario will save me? Its about sodding time he saved someone not in a skirt...
*Ahem*

Anyway, nice post, unfortunately some of us can afford only one console. I always wanted the next Nintendo console because it's going to have Nintendo games on it, and I love them! Zelda, Mario, Mazza Kart, Perfect Dark 0 (somewhere along the line anyway...) and many more great titles. But the fact was even if I had wanted a PS2 or Xbox I couldn't have afforded the £200 for the console. As it was I got my Cube second hand (though I'm unsure if this guy actually used it or bought it cheap somewhere like wholesale to sell on the net...) for £150 with Monkey Ball. I then got four games as GADs. I don't have enough money for another game at the moment as it is. I can't afford another console at the moment, and even if I could I'd probably rather spend it on music, a Cube controller/ games than buy a second console for 200 odd squid. I simply can't afford to buy more than one console!
