Who Here Owns An Xbox?
<div class="IPBDescription">please don't flame me....</div> I know saying Xbox is like blasphemy around here, but I just want to know, who owns one?
I got mine becasue my brother already had a ps2 in the house, so I could just play that, but then he moved out about 6 months later..
I chose it over the gamecube because:
A: I wanted a DVD player, and was too cheap just to buy one
B: Gamecube didnt really have any appealing games at the time
I dont think its all that bad, just for the lack of good games and sony sucking up all the quality companies and making them "playstation only" (of course, microsoft did this with Halo)
Hopefully, there will be better games in the future, im looking foward to Halo 2 (of course), Starcraft: Ghost, and other various titles that I forgot right now but I know I remember them later...
Hate me if you will, stone me in the town square, but we all make mistakes.

/end rant.
Look, this isn't against you. It's a general sence of anguish and distress as I watch the PC section in every games store in my city shrink and shrink until in lots of places it's just plain gone. Replaced by row after row of god-awful console titles that even consolers admit are abomidable. You're probably smart to get out while you can. I mean, in a few years PC games will be a novelty, brought out months after the "console release" (with dumbed down AI of course). We're on a dying ship guys. Follow the rats. They already know the way.
X marks the spot. Excuse me whilst I cry as Microsoft releases Quake 4 and HL2 as X-Box exclusives.*
*Note: No, it hasn't happened yet. Now dig down deep inside your hearts and think to yourself: what does Microsoft want more than anything else? Apart from World Domination. Yeah, money. And guess where the biggest market is for games. Yep. Think about it boys, and weep.

Microsoft is very very evil, I must try hard not to flame them
I'm currenly using windows ME, possible one of the worst OS'es ever
XBOX has a HD, but no fan
wh@ gives?
the only good game is halo
Microsoft can kiss (not going to go there!)
yeah
not to mention the fact that to play DVD's you have to get a $20 remote
utter BS
me no likes microsoft or XBOX
and did you know that if you have a modded XBOX, and go on XBOX live, you get kick banned permently
People who insist on creating a war between consoles and PCs are foolish. Each has its place, and all can coexist.
Now, if you wanna talk about console wars... let's talk about making the average console gamer buy 3 systems to make sure he gets all the good games that hit the market. q:
Problem with the Xbox is basically: not _ONE_ game that I really feel that I have to own and play that I cant play on other consoles. No not even Halo, it's just another FPS. It is also slowly killing off the pc as a fun gaming platform, leaving us with only simulators and dry strategy games and online roleplaying. In terms of good games, the PlayStation 2 is a much better buy. Perhaps when the xbox has 2 years behind it we will see a nice library of games, because the PS2 really had some sucky titles for it the first year IMO.
Where is the ICO? Where is Vice City? Where is Space Channel 5 part 2? Rez?
So far the crop of games seems very much to be PC games wrapped into new paper to fit into the console. EA are present with all their stupid sports games as well. I don't hate the xbox (Apart from the fact it is killing pc games) as a console. It's just the least interesting of the lot.
To be honest, the Game Cube seems more interesting because theres some genuinely different games made for it. If I got one I would want to play Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Super Monkey Ball, Metroid Prime, Zelda and so on. Lots of interesting games if you can set aside your hunger for ANOTHER tactical sneak'em up game.
In the end, the current 3 consoles can all show sufficiently beautiful games in my opinion. So go for the best selection of games. PS2 has the largest library, Cube have the most ingenious ones, Xbox has the most pc'ey ones. And I dont want a pc-console as long as I have a pc to game on.
Oh, and I wasn't aware Microsoft bought the exclusive right for Half Life 2. ****.
Come ON!
How does that not rock?
But most recently, I started playing my gamecube again, Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker, ownz
Come ON!

I hear you my brother! That thing is bigger than a house! They must have dried up a whole oil field jus to make all the plastic that goes in to making those things.
Ditto, however the new price of the PS2 is tempting($87.95)
They Have Halo 6 letters for you: HALO PC
Yahm, XBox 'only' as in the only concole it will be on is XBox, if they don't release HL2 for PC they are idiots, simply put
DOA? wooooo fighting games (I can't stand em)
DOA beach volly ball? I think the point of that game is to make XBox owners have to buy new controllers after they, umm.. 'mess up' their old ones (I am sorry, It is a volly ball game, that sucks enugh in the first place and then the fact that the selling point is T&A is sorta lame GO GET OSME PORN)
I would like to point out that the only person who has listed 'good' games for this is Hive, and he listed:
6
Actualy 5 b/c I refuse to count DOA volly ball as a game, its pron, just bad porn (Sorry I don't go for Hentai)
Now, PS2/GameCube (I love em BOTH) have countless more games that are worth it, thats it really
oh, and side note:
Xbox2 the follow up to GC and PS3 are aparently all oing to actualy come out at the SAME time this go around (as opposed to GC getting left in the dust as it always seems to be)

Valve wasn't bought by MS, Vivendi (spelling?) was. They also publish war 3 btw.
Now, does MS really think it could make more money making it just for the PC? See, here's the problem, the console market is exploding larger every second whilst the PC games industry is shrinking. My previous example of Starcraft:Ghost stands, 99.999% of Blizzard's die hard fans are PC gamers. But wow, all that lovely money was just too tempting.
Consoles, unfortunatly, are taking over. Hold your positions men! This will be out finest hour!

ring me up sometime.
Play games, not systems.
It doesn't matter what system has what hardware or does what. Its about the GAMES.

*stands up and applaudes*
Its all about the games, play what you want to, no matter what system its on.
Why can't people just leave us fanboys to our preversions in peace?
If I wanna stare at CG boobies, then let me, darnit!
now if it had some good game stuff with it then we could call it a game sold by porn
but it is volly ball
so that dosn't work
And besides, it's not JUST volleyball, there's also a role playing aspect.

1 good note about consoles; you can usually rely on the fact that they will have constant and steady frame rates. Usually
I wish, I used to get motion sickness from playing GoldenEye on the N64.
Lay off it, everyone loves cute girls <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> But on the "porn" suggestion I don't care if it's well done, the fact is people just arn't going to get off on this stuff. Seriously, did you play DOA: EBV and get an erection? Because I'd be shocked if you did.
Oh god don't remind me of Goldeneye. Great game, but a gamepad that I would love to break into small peices and burn them. Then take the ashes, burn them again, then load them into a nuclear powerer rocket aimed at the sun.
