i like any console, as to me its the game that counts. like for ps1 i like the moh games and resident evil games, or for nintendo 64, 007 game, or ps2 gran turismo 3 and metal gear 2, the only thing good for xbox iv seen is that 2nd unreal tournament game

but i think that will come out on pc eventually.

my main beef with consoles is the controllers, there are never enough buttons to do everthing the programmers/players want to do. you end up needing to push several buttons at once or a sequence of buttons to get the action done.

Anyway why would i wanna waste my money on an xbox or a ps2? Gamecube looks far superior graphically and a well tuned pc will wipe the floor with any of em visually and in sound as well.

bottom line is the exclusiveness of the titles and the third party licenses for each system . i suggest researching what games that are coming out for what system will be more enjoyable to you .

All you've seen of Xbox is videos and pics but you still say it sucks. Xbox is more powerful a system then PS2 by FAR however the controller sucks and the support will start a little weak. I don't have time to say all the things i wanted to but later i will talk about it all.

Xbox is more powerful statistically in every area of review than the PS2 is, therefore game developers will realize it's full potential when PS2 stops living up to it's (which is occuring right now). So, more developers will hop onto the Xbox bandwagon and start producing more games for it. However, as far as MOH:AA is concerned, Microsoft currently refuses to release a keyboard and mouse peripheral for the system stating that it's reasons are to prove that it's not just a lil' PC like everyone says it is. It's splitting it's PC roots by saying this, but later one may come out when the realization becomes that FPS games suck with control pads. However you may want to consider that once the Xbox is released, Sony will drop prices of PS2 to $230, making it less expensive than the $300 retail Xbox when it's released on November 8, just 3 days after the release of Public Enemy number 1... GameCube. That decisioin for a November 5th release was made after the announced Nov. 8 release from microsoft, and GameCube will retail at $200 making it the least expensive next gen system aside from the Dreamcast. PS2 does have a keyboard and mouse peripheral in the works, and will go online before the Xbox does, however MOH:AA is not currently planned for a release on PS2 so this won't be of much use to you. The Xbox is faster and more powerful if that turns you on however, and as I said before, the developers will realize this. As far as bugs go, yes there still are some but it's not out yet so it's not fair to judge off that... they have until November to clear that up so it's idiotic to say that Xbox is buggy before it's even out. PS2 is lacking in visual quality and fulfilling potential of game designers. Xbox is planning 9 launch titles however some are being rushed. PS2 had a grand total of 29 titles to launch on release, and GameCube will plan a measely 5 launch titles. However, think back to the release of PS2... those games were not that great at the time, and still aren't... and for a system to come along with a clean slate and compete with the PS2 is excellent. So... my stance on the matter is to wait and see what the developers do, you'll see an upward trend in the quality of games, either that or a complete failing of Xbox will take place.

OK IM CLEARING THIS SHIT UP RIGHT NOW!!!

X Box=best in terms of performance. graphics, sound FX, etc.

PS2=best right now, for a combination of graphics and games. X Box has no 'classic' popular games. for instance, PS classics, Tekkan, Syphon Filter, etc.

so right NOW PS2 is the 1 to get. but...

Gamecube: Better than PS2 in graphics, and will ALSO have the back-up of classic games.

plus almost every review i see by experts says that the Gamecube is the one to get.

Xbox ofcourse!!

SoLiDUS · 09-24-2001, 01:42 AM

The playstation 2 "could" be a great system, but it will remain a "good" system instead for 2 big reasons:

- lacking RAM and,
- the emotion engine is a BITCH to code for, however if the programmers take the time to learn how it works and code properly, you can see games like GT3 and MGS2.

Don't kid yourself, the XBOX is just a computer system with an OS that plays games on-the-fly. The nice thing about it is microsoft is just buying the games left and right so they are proprietary to their system (ie. Munch's Odyssey) !

The Gabecube, if Nintendo permits it, could be a VERY powerful gaming machine. Just look at what Metroid, Zelda and Resident Evil look like ! Hopefully they won't fall into the trap of releasing too many kiddie games.

I still prefer my PC to *any* console system. Do I need to explain why ?
