Consols batttle it out! - I'm sure i spelt that wrong?

Neo_genic · 04-06-2003, 10:14 PM

I say Xbox is the most powerful and most enjoyable consol out... Great graphics great games. and its has 4 controlor ports instead of just 2 like PS2.

PS2 by far. All the X-Box has is good gfx....that's about it. The console itself is too frigging bulky (doesn't even fit into my fairly new entertainment center), the controller is almost as big as my nuts (half the frigging thing is covered with a giant, useless green X, just in case you forget what system you're playing, and the buttons are too spread apart) , and most of the games are crap ('cept Splinter Cell. Halo is overrated.) All it has is superior graphics.

PS2, however, is a much better overall system. Anyone who has ever played PS1 will be familiar with the controller shape and style, which is small, yet not too small. The buttons are perfectly positioned on the controller, and there is no added/extra space. The system itself is nice and small, and can either go vertical or horizontal, fitting most entertainment centers. Though the gfx aren't quite as good as X-Box, PS2 has overall MUCH better games than Xbox has. PS2 has by far the best games--RPGs especially--and this is proven by the fact that the combined sales from GTA3 and Vice City surpass the combined sales of ALL X-Box games, combined (I'm pretty sure).

Gamecube is also fairly decent, but still nowhere near PS2 or Xbox. The controller style flat-out blows, and most of the games (as well as the graphics) suck major ass (especially that new Zelda game....I'm a huge Zelda fan, but "Windwaker" left a bad taste in my mouth), with the exception of Metrod Prime.

Dreamcast always sucked...and it always will suck...

N64 was prolly the best during its time...it had a shiatload of awesome games...same goes for PS1

xbox is gaining in the games dept.. Just downloaded the japanese release of Soul Calibur II and it kicks ass. Halo os not over rated ... mostly good for multiplayer fun, as in 4 xbox's with 16 people going at it.

I will say adding a modchip to it multiplies the xbox's worth tenfold. How's 3000+ nes games 2000+ snes a dozen gameboy and 4000+ mame roms sound? Oh and 62 full xbox games loaded onto the hard drive. No discs needed.

blanka09 · 04-07-2003, 09:48 AM

I think I prefer the ps2 nice and compact unlike the Xbox

darkmasterX · 04-07-2003, 10:50 AM

Wow...however, that doesn't solve the problem that X-Box is too bulky for most standard ES's, that the controller is like twice the size that it SHOULD be, and that the games aren't nearly as good as PS2. Being able to fit the games onto the hard drive of the XBox is a sweet deal indeed, but it doesn't improve the playability of the games.

And Halo sucks, any way you look at it. The multiplayer ability doesn't make up for its horrible control and gameplay.

Panda_Man · 04-07-2003, 02:50 PM

thing i really don't like is the fact that xbox has no free on-line gaming. wut was it.... like $50 friggin dollars a MONTH?? that's rediculous, i would never pay that much per month. a year maybe (wut am i saying... HELL YEA i pay that much for a year) but a month?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

and i know what your going to say, "yea but you have to buy the modem for the PS2" and all i can say is big woop. its better to buy a $40 dollar modem for free access than $50 a month.

PS bill gates just makes video gaming look bad.

TarkanX · 04-07-2003, 03:00 PM

Xbox, by the way Panda Man, it's 50 dollars a year, 50 a month would be crazy, do you actually think 200,000+ people would buy the Live service?

Xbox has what is probably the greatest(besides PC) online system ever. Broad Band only, which means no annoying 56k vs broad band matches, you get the head set, which I don't care about, and It's set up, so that the lag would be non-existant. great planning Gates!

The games maybe poor, there are a few games that are okay for it though. Overall, I currently like X-box as the best between the 3(Game Cube coming a close 2nd).

X-Box	5	50.00%
PS2	4	40.00%
Game Cube	0	0%
Dreamcast	0	0%
N64	0	0%
PS1	1	10.00%
