    Own a gamecube but make games for Xbox :)

    So buy both :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,754 ✭✭✭Big Chief


    would have to say ps2, playstation game range has always been far superior to its challengers. That and i would vote on it alone for pro evoloution soccer 2, best football game ever :D

    gta3 was also fookin ace, im looking forward to buying vice city when i gets paid, as spent so many hrs on first part :D

    The Xbox is my fave in some ways, but the biggest problem is the lack of decent games.

    The Gamecube is shaping up. I didn't like the look of it at first because I don't like any of the Mario/Super monkey ball/puzzle type games.

    Wow, a poll where an atari jaguar option would be almost relevant...

    A


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 176 ✭✭MAC_E


    Its true that a big amount of the games on the cube are aimed at the younger audience. But i think as the titles start to be released quicker well see more and more top quality releases.....more along the lines of resident evil.

    And so it came to pass...

    Nice and simple, where does your loyalty lye?

    It lies wherever there are good, creative entertaining games to be played - which right now covers all three consoles. And the GBA. And the PC. And the Dreamcast, come to think of it.

    Anyone professing "loyalty" to any given console needs to get out more.

    I prefer my PC to any console really .... can't do without a keyboard and mouse.

    /me looks at PS2 which has lain mostly unused for months


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,690 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Yep i agree with Stephen,you cannot beat a good PC.
    I bought xbox so i could link up with 3 friends via ethernet hub and play Halo.Also consoles are great for Multiplayer sports titles.
    Ive got to say im dissapointed with lack of good games on Xbox.
    Apart from Halo theres nothing for me ,atleast until Splinter cell,MGS substance and Ghost Recon[which i love for PC] comes out so i can link up with it too.
    I wish PES 2 was on xbox ,what an amazing game it is.
    PC games are so deep with huge longevity compared to most console games.

    Like i said i only got Xbox for link up with friends which i might add is great once you get used to controls.My friends and i wouldnt bother with any console if Broadband internet access was affordable where we live,atleast linking up we have zero lag.

    If i hadnt got this link-up setup id go for PS2 as its a huge library of great games and of course PES2.

    Has to be Atari Jaguar. Even though I don't have one, I know it has the same power as the rest of them*

    * 230V ~ :p

    PC gamers are the aristocrats of gaming. :D
    Bring on Splinter Cell and all you PS2 owners can stick your MGS2...

    I'm thinking of buying a 'Box after Christmas maybe. That or the 'Cube.

    I'm *really* not a PS person. The ads annoy me...the console doesn't look great to me...the controllers dont feel right to me.

    Maybe it's becos I'm *too* acustomed to my PC.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    i was *going* to get a cube, but tbh i want a console that does more than play games.
    xbox looks pretty decent, but the ps2 has exclusive rights to vice city:(
    :mad:
    cant make up my mind


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,897 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I'm finding pc games at the moment lacking any real imagination or even bring anything knew to the gaming scene. Consoles is where its at at the moment. The pc needs another half-life, warcraft or MOH pretty soon. Splinter cell might be the one. Don't expect Doom3 to blow you away with anything but its graphics.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,977 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Dreamcast, what other single console can I play Dreamcast, Playstation, Snes, Megadrive, Master System, Nes games on, and watch VCD's and DIVX films.
    pWNED :>

    It strikes me that anyone who posts over 5000 posts needs to get out more.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,275 ✭✭✭Shinji


    I think it's worth noting that my posts-per-day rating isn't shockingly higher than yours, buddy :)

    You'll have to excuse my earlier outburst, listening to stupid fanboys blather about "loyalty" to console manufacturers who couldn't care less about them (or about anything other than their financial bottom line) gets bloody tiresome after about seven years of it.

    just post the picture of him licking kevo's ear and you can't lose


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,897 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I'd post more than 5000 posts if I was getting paid for it.
    If your not getting paid for it shinji then I think he may be right:)

    Sense his posting started Feb 1998, you might be talking BS as usually???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭Kalina


    I have a PS2 and I love it. FF10, Vice City, Tekken 4, The Two Towers... enough to keep me occupied for a long time.
    If I could afford another console I'd buy a Game Cube, even though the games are a bit too cute. Hopefully there will be some more games aimed at the 12+ market coming out shortly!!:)
    I don't particularily like the X Box, it's ugly to look at and the controllers are horrible. That said I haven't played it much so I should reserve judgement.

    They should come with it. The big ones are a joke. A bad joke.

    Splinter Cell as mentioned.

    What about

    Unreal II
    MoH: Spearhead ?

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭Thorbar


    Seeing as alot of us play our games on pcs which are really just big ugly plastic boxes I can't understand how you could be fussy about how a console looks.
