What's your opinion and why? For me, it's the Gamecube. Boring games that take too long to come out (not dissimilar to the xbox but I didn't vote for that because I prefer it's future titles). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, you must be kidding. The GameCube is the only one of them worth getting ;-) There aren't very much game available for it yet (though still enough to prevent me from getting bored), this is true... but i'll take any NINTENDOgame over the entire PS2-backcatalogue ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Too true! I dislike the PS2, it is overpriced and underpowered. Shame all the developers are making games for it. The GameCube, i feel, will fail. Not because it isn't an awesome system but because of the developers. That only leaves the X-box... |
||||||||

|
I'm in doubt between getting a gamecube and PS2 =\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
ps2 is pissing me off, it just stopped reading my games. I still like the games on ps2, but the system is fucked. Right now im on shenmueII for xbox, don't have the money for a gcube yet |
||||||||

PS2 has Xenosaga and Silent Hill 3, nuff said ;) |

Silent Hill 3 *-* |

xbox without question. its like the jaguar all over again. power beyond comprehension, better specs than the other two consoles competing, and yet they can't develop a good game for it. (halo isn't that great, get over it). |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes but Panzer Dragoon Orta is a gift from the gods |
||||||||
|
|

I would vote for x-box too... I don`t know why, but everytime I think about it the first thing that comes to my mind are sport games |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The first thing that comes to mind for me is mod chip + 120 gig HDD |

for crappy, i'm stuck between GameCube and Xbox... played on both of them at friends houses, and all i can think is "sweet christ i'm glad i didn't buy these" i still have nightmares where i buy a gamecube |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I always get console just after all the new ones come out, the advantage is that you already know what's worth getting, all the good games are already out, and everything is cheap |

don't say mean things like that about a system with wind waker, metroid prime, mario sunshine, and the prospect of more mario and zelda games for it. also, yeah, 120 gig hd is nice, but that means fuck all if the games for the system are shit, which they are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
X-Box... only game I want to play on that is Halo, everything else is negligible or available for the other two. PS2 and Gamecube are indispensible. Xbox will NEVER have games like Metroid Prime and the new Zelda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't really played anything for either of them... but judging by controllers, x-box sucks fat donkey penis. i'd like a gamecube... if i could afford it, but i can't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only system I would consider crappy would have to be an "x-box". I've played just about every console but there doesn't seem to be any title on the x-box that makes me want to play it. Nothing has come close to the goosebumps I felt when playing a wind waker demo the other day, now that's impressive game design |
||||||||
|
|

Xbox. GC & PS2 are great consoles. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
*Xbox will NEVER have games like Metroid Prime and the new Zelda* Bah, Star Wars KOTOR and Fable look maginficent, then theres Halo 2... |
||||||||

Xbox - no games = no fun Cube - has quality on its side, PS2 - you have to be very careful what games to pick. But many are great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is so true zaphod about the x-box really being the jaguar of the present day, it was the first 64bit console to be released and even being the most powerful couldn't save it! (oh yeah, it also had an oversized controller too come to think of it.) |
||||||||

I have a Jaguar (I got it recently off of ebay) and it was NOT very powerful at all. Starfox for SNES is about as impressive as cybermorph, the big title that came with the jaguar. I'd like to defend the xbox (*cough* because I'm interning with the xbox team this summer *cough*)! I'm a big sega fan (an ex-nintendo fan boy) and xbox has House of the Dead III, Shenmue II and Panzer Dragoon Orta, all really great stuff from sega. PS2 doesn't have too many games that interest me... Final Fantasy X is the only one that I really like. Gamecube has Mario Sunshine and Windwaker... Mario Sunshine was fun, but was not as good as Mario 64... Windwaker is identical to the other Zelda games besides they added the grappling hook and the cell shaded look. So, I guess the point is, Jaguar sucks, Xbox does not, and none of the systems have a really good showing at this point.... BUT, the most important thing to note, is that each system is good depending on what type of games you like. If we are comparing them from a hardware standpoint, the xbox wins!!! |

X-Box is because the PS2 has it beat in the sheer nuber of games and the GCN beats it in quality. |
||||||||

xbox had too big controllers, i could hardly play it. i like ps2 most (rayman revolution, various fight games, that one game with the vectors) never had gc but i suspect i'd like it the most |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd say ps2 already had an advantage from day 1. can we say "backwards compatible"? |
||||||||
|

most console games are too difficult for me anyway.. too fast tempo. i'm a pc person. |

screamunheard "I have a Jaguar (I got it recently off of ebay) and it was NOT very powerful at all" , if that was a reponse to my post well I was referring to when the Jaguar first came out, having greater specs compared to the snes and genisis, and being the most powerful home console at that time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Xbox is POO. I admit it has a few decent games and may be more powerful than a PS2 but so what? 95% of the xbox games suck unless you like sports games. I'll take Xenosaga and .hack any day over any xbox game. That and PS2 has GTA. Need I say more? |
||||||||
|
|

.hack? whats that like? |

Jaguar was not the first 64 bit system, just to clarify... it was a cheap fake: 2 32 bit processors... the sega saturn even had 3 32 bit processors. The nintendo 64 was the first TRUE 64 bit system. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I stand corrected, I'm sure you understand my point though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you notice how BIG the xbox console is?? and how HOT the console gets while playing... however... the GC feels better, really Nintendo quality. PS2 has lower specifications. I really hate the xbox for being PC-designed. I hate that harddisc, It feels like microsoft tries to push the console market over to the PC market. GC is the best, though it's a pity the games amount is lower. |
||||||||

They are all like PC's though, the only diff with the xbox is it has a hdd and that's awesome (I'm sure you realize the potential of the hdd)! Playing Panzer Dragoon makes the xbox seem worth the money alone for me, it's just a matter of what you like I guess. For gawds sake though, don't blame the hardware, xbox owns the other two... |
||||||||

I was trying to point out that the Jaguar really wasn't all that outstanding even for the time. It was actually just hype. Something cool though, was they got some of the guys from Skinny Puppy to do an ad for it. It's one of the best commercials I've seen! It doesn't have anything to do with the console though... The new controller for xbox is way better! It does NOT hurt your hands. The Xbox is big, but it's full inside. It needs to fit a HD, and something almost identical to a PC motherboard... No one is complaining that their PC is too big! |

Is there anyone who's played Mario Sunshine that knows of 4 extremely well hidden blue coins? :-) At this point i have 119 shines, and 6 blue coins... this is really killing me. I need 4 more blue coins, but they could be everywhere :-/ |

I sold my cube! WOOOOO!!!!!!! |

what will forever be the best console ever made, i say sony playstation1 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check your map in SMS, there you should be able to see how many blue coins you have collected for each area, most have 30 I think, so look for some 29's or 28's. It doesn't tell you what episode the missing coins are on but it helps |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
"there you should be able to see how many blue coins you have collected for each area" !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank YOU! You just saved my life buddy :-p How did you learn about this? Hm... well it's probably just in the manual, but who reads manuals eh! ;-) Right... i'm off to find those last 4 coins then :-) |

They're all very good systems with their own strengths and weaknesses. The Gamecube is my definate favorite right now but I can see that quickly changing to Xbox in the upcoming months.. Take a look at these exclusives : Deus Ex II, B.C., Fable, Psychonauts, Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic, Halo 2, Doom III, Black and White --- Not to mention superior versions of Starcraft:Ghost, Fallout, and several other titles. But it's true: Right now there are only two "MUST HAVE" games for the Xbox, which is pretty ridiculous for a platform that's been out for a year and a half; especially when you consider who's running things. Gamecube still has more on the way as well though : Mario 128, Metroid*, Pikmin 2, Starfox*, F-Zero, Wario World, Kirby's Dreamland*, Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles, and a few others I'm probably forgeting. PS2 has some really great games, I'm just not interested in any of them enough to buy the system. Besides, it IS starting to show it's age and $200 is just too much for a subpar console. The only noticeable exclusive they own right now is Vice City and even that is getting ported to the PC later this year. Xbox now has a much finer version of Metal Gear Solid and Squaresoft is starting to develop for Nintendo again. *no official title yet |

Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles, i can't wait for this game! if it comes out and its shit i swear i will kill myself! |
||||||||

Man, I find it VERY hard to believe the Jaguar was ''64 bit.'' SUCH a piece of shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
XBOX - is shit! I own both GC and PS2 - wonderfull machines....although PS2 has the better edge at the moment for the vaster range of games. But full marks to Nintendo...Metroid Prime is amazing, and I can't wait for Zelda! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

That thing was a 2 bit piece of shit. The 2600 had better graphics. |

Are you sure Zelda's shipping to the Dark Side? You may have to import. Arrharharhar! *choke Say, have you played that Star Wars:Bounty Hunter game for the Gamecube? I think you play in 3rd person as Jango Fett.. It looks like it might be worth a rent but I don't recall reading any memorable reviews. What's your verdict? |

From http://www.gamespot.com/all/news/news_6024609.html : Nintendo of America is currently dominating video game sales in North America after three hit product launches in recent weeks. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is currently the best-selling console game after more than 600,000 copies were preordered, and the latest Pokémon games, Ruby and Sapphire, have dominated portable game sales since their release on March 17. On the hardware front, Nintendo's new Game Boy Advance SP is also flying off the shelves, with no fewer than 800,000 consoles already sold in North America alone. "While no one will know the champion of this season's college basketball tournament until next week, the winner of this spring's video game tournament is Nintendo," said Peter MacDougall, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America. "Game Boy Advance SP, Zelda, and Pokémon represent a three-point play that players and retailers dream about." "At what is traditionally a slow time of the year for video games, Nintendo has seized the sales initiative," said Richard Simone, video game buyer, Toys "R" Us. "With their blockbuster products--Game Boy Advance SP, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon--they're a big part of why video games are one of the truly bright spots at retail." |
