just curious to see how the console race is going etc

Barry Aldwell · 28-02-2003 11:03pm

I own a PS2 and a PC. As far as the console race is going, I know only 1 person that doesn't own a PS2, and nobody who doesn't have a pc of some sort.

kaimera · 28-02-2003 11:07pm

Rnger · 28-02-2003 11:34pm

ps1
ps2
mega drive

Winters · 01-03-2003 1:54pm

I think just about everyone that visits this forum will have a pc in some way shape or form. Even if it is made out of household appliances such as spunges. I know mine is. Yea. PC and big willy or me. I think i have a N64 under some dust in my room and a Commedor 64 too. Ah. i love how you used to load games from tapes. It would take an hour to get 50% through and crash just at 90% .... damn commedor.

monument · 01-03-2003 2:46pm

ALL of the above.

Also I have a Game Gear and both GameBoy & PSX were in our house when they were big. Used to use my friends Mega Drive, Nes & once or twice an N64. When I was young sometimes used to rent consoles (mostly Mega Drive), but I was mostly a PC head.

theciscokid · 01-03-2003 3:00pm

gamecube (i love you) , atari jaguar (roar)

had gba , but sold it at the right time Muhahahhha

and all sorts of all other prevous machines .. loads actually, but had to get rid of some

sound_wave · 01-03-2003 3:14pm

Well i have a PS2. Cube, PC, GBA, ..dont play them enough really..stupid college taking up all my time. the console race is really only a race for second place..with the PS2 having such a head start it will always be hard for Nintendo and MS to catch up..

Used to have a PS but sold it to my brother-in-law for way more than it was worth..but i shouldnt have sold my games..anyone remeber everybodys golf? a brilliant game..but kept FFVII and Metal Gear Solid

Tusky · 01-03-2003 5:18pm

im amazed at how many votes the cube has got !

kamobe · 01-03-2003 5:57pm

people could go to a net cafe or use a mates pc ?

Sarky · 02-03-2003 2:44am

PC, but I've access to a PS2.

I think developers believe that most console owners are 12-14 year old sugar junky TV addicts, so very few games of substance appear on them. Halo itself was originally designed for the PC til Microsoft got their grubby mitts on it and delayed its release for ages so it would be on the Xbox first.
You won't find games like Baldur's Gate or Thief on a console.

Tusky · 02-03-2003 4:36am

im sure they aint that stoopid

im sure they have done research etc etc and stuff

Retr0gamer · 02-03-2003 7:56pm

I own them all except for the xbox. It doresn't have any games that interest me.

Retr0gamer · 02-03-2003 7:59pm

And sarky I'd rather play any of the best console games than the drivel that is being released on the PC at the moment. You just go back to playing the diabolical SOF2 and Unreal 2. I'll be enjoying Mario Sunshine, Xenosaga and Final Fantasy X.

sound_wave · 02-03-2003 8:15pm

mario sunshine..must go back and finish that..games of substance are plentiful for god sake :rolleyes: and as for Baldur's Gate i think it has been released on a console...all of them to be precise..:D

ManWithThePlan · 02-03-2003 9:07pm

Used to have all sorts of consoles. But haven't bought an Xbox, Ps2 or Gamecube, and don't intend to either.
PC games are teh cool.

Sarky · 03-03-2003 3:01pm

I saw an ad for a console version of BG, I think it may have been called dark alliance or something. It was a hack'n'slash 3d affair with lots of diversity taken away. Looked like a D&D version of Crash Bandicoot, TBH... Please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't been following console news.

And what's wrong with SOF2? Mad fun on the multiplayer, but haven't tried the single player. And Jedi Knight is a well cool PC game. Along with Thief 1 and 2 (and soon to be 3) Deus Ex, Rune, Oni, Neverwinter Nights...

Retr0gamer · 03-03-2003 3:16pm

Sorry but Rune was crap. As for SOF2 try the single player. It's dreadful. I personally think Jedi Knight 2 is way over rated. It's not a patch on Jedi Knight 1 or the sublime Dark Forces.

Sarky · 03-03-2003 3:23pm

Just as a matter of interest, how far did you get in Rune? I played it through, and found it became very good fun when you finally came up against human opponents...And wielding a giant two handed sword which also electrocuted those it struck reinforced my God complex...

Zukustious · 03-03-2003 8:41pm

I also owm rngers hamster but he doesn't know it. Heh heh heh. He'll never know.

Tusky · 03-03-2003 10:03pm

i thought rune sucked

and no i didnt stick it out to fight human opponents as i got bord killing crabs etc...

byte · 03-03-2003 10:18pm

PS2, PC, and meh old Spectrum 128!

Oh and a big willie of course!!

eddhorse · 04-03-2003 9:42am

I've got baulders gate dark alliance on the xbox ;D

Tusky · 04-03-2003 4:16pm

Baldurs gate wasnt exactly great on ps2 ...dont know about x-box!

Sarky · 05-03-2003 2:51pm

Is Dark Alliance any good? Does it follow the actual Baldur's Gate story? Or is it really an unrelated dungeon hack'n'slash? From what I read off the blurb, there were only three classes, is that true? (Can't imagine life without my Kensai or Blade...)

Justice · 05-03-2003 4:09pm

PC and PS2.
also am saving for operation to get me a big willy.
then ye can all come down to my house to play with it!!!

Dunno about the classes, but it is a hack and slash.

Tusky · 05-03-2003 10:52pm

yes tis a simple version of BG - hack and slash with 3 classes...some nice graphics though...

i cant bleve gamecube seems to have outsold X-box by so much and it isnt TOO far behind ps2 seeing as ps2 had a big head start plus alot of ppl buy for dvd...im shocked by plesantly surprised

bugs · 06-03-2003 1:29am

Its amusing you can base how sales of consoles have done by looking at a pole of about 100 (removing big willies and ppl who own more than one)
I'd say a massive percentage of console owners don't have pc's, and therefore won't even see this

Tusky · 06-03-2003 2:04pm

hmm that much is true... on the other hand it is a rough estimate and im sure 90% of console owners have access to a pc in this day and age

its also a repensan0tationable of the consoles owned by boards members is it not ?

As I suspected. Seems unfair to the great story of BG that there had to be a "dumbed down" version produced with flashier 3d graphics. I'll also bet there are no books that fill in the world's background lying about, as it would distract you from killing things and collecting magic stars or something...

spooky donkey · 06-03-2003 7:34pm

PC for me though i would like a ps2, whats tha chance of me getting one of them!

Anyway this poll is going to be a little biased towards the pc it being on the net! How many people used their Game cube or what ever to vote?

Sand · 06-03-2003 11:26pm

PC only here. Used to have consoles but have never looked back since entering the big bad world of PCs....and UT, and Medieval Total War:)
