and if u look at ANY game on ps2 xbox gamecube, the graphics on the latter two are much better.
People like this infuriate me. Anyone who’s played games for a decent amount of time should know that graphics and technology don’t mean **** when you’re looking for a fun game. You’re welcome to go buy whatever looks best, but I would recommend If you want to look at pretty graphics go buy some artwork or something.
Personally I have a PS2 because it exclusively gets Square (except FF:CC) and Nippon Ichi games as well as the Gran Turismo series, Contra series, and every fighting game that’s any good. And I have a Gamecube for pure multiplayer goodness and Nintendo’s innovative titles (Wario Ware comes to mind). PC’s great as well, I love some online Raven Shield. So what reason is there to own an Xbox? For everything that the Xbox does, something else does it better.

actually the main reason i brought that up is because im tired of people saying how much smoother or prettier PS2 games are. when it first came out, before GCN or Xbox, *maybe, *but everyone loves to say how smooth the ps2 is. If you play any game on PS2 and GCN/Xbox, you’ll notice it seems to lag. a lot. worse than playing CS online w/ AOL (trust me, I’ve been there). you can grow a beard between loading times. Some of the games run so slow and look like toilet fudge that I can’t play it. Its like someone trying to go back in time 600 years and live a good life. You’ll lose your mind
If you wanna talk about eternal load times play Resident Evil Outbreak now wtf was taht alost 30 secs for every rom you go into argh.
And as for pretty graphics i could care les gimme a good game with great characters and a cool story and im yours, i mean i still play my DC that my friends to me was the best 32 bit console it started it all, online play, portable memory cards, great innovative games and beautifull graphics, its funny till this day Soul Calibur 1 is one of the bes fighting games of all time ans it was only on DC.
Oh and btw theres a hack for the xbox which lets you play online without a Live subscription i havent used it but i know its available forgot the name too but if anyone is interested i can do a little research and get the info
oh yeah i never had DC but played it a lot
the graphics easily can rival PS2’s
fav. game was the the one where you flew toy airplanes, fought with things like erasers, paper clips, thumb tacks, etc. forget its name…somehting with toy maybe…
i remember the N64 v PSX back in the day of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater…
my friend had it for PSX, and, naturally, found the loading times to be normal
then it came out for the 64. I bought it, and selected a level, finding it loaded almost instantly. I thought the game was broken. (lol)
true, the N64 was not on CD’s, but still, Nintendo, and now Microsoft, seem to have much faster loading times than Sony
Ahhh good ol’ Nintendo64, games like MarioKart64, Goldeneye, and SuperMario64 make we wanna go buy one so I can remember how cool those games were/are.

Yes! That’s the latest console I own. I don’t play anymore, but when friends come over it’s an option to play these greaties…And to bash some more on playstation, while do they still have only TWO controllers? This almost “forces” producers into making (at tops) 2 player games.
Want to see the antithesis to that? Just play micromachines and you’ll laugh your head off while you play 2vs2vs2vs2 or 8 player free for all! This game’s got to be the greatest party game ever.
Wiz, I like your sig. Small 'n simple ('cept for the ‘temporary footer’ part)
Thanks… but it’s been my temporary footer for a while now, I haven’t really started on my real footer yet. I think I’m just gonna put up my old footer and use that until I get a new one.[/ot]
Load time? I say if its a great game it wroth the wait (unlike RE:O). Take in point vice city, the load from outside to in was long, but why fuss over it, the game was great! I dont pay game just for the graphics, but I just dont like the gamecube. To me it seems like they rushed it out, and never took the time like they did on the xbox.
lol…wow
talk about rushing it out, sony came out w/ ps2 a year earlier, and it only has 2 controller ports, and its video card was already old news by the time Xbox + GCN came out…
most of the time, i dont care about graphics either (up until march, i had a Pentium II processor clocked at 266mhz, and still played Jedi Academy…), but some games are so bad compared to the same game on other platforms that it makes me go crazy and hurts my head…its like staring at the sun
Ulike you prit I was waiting for the “dolphin” (if any of you nintendo power readers are out there) for like 4 months then, 6months before relase they delayed it and changed it to the almighty “gamecube”. That was right about when I bought my ps2 and I never looked back. I love my ps2 with a passion and I regret buying the gamecube.
And to bash some more on playstation, while do they still have only TWO controllers? This almost “forces” producers into making (at tops) 2 player games.
VERY true. Sony is straight retarded for only putting in 2 controller ports. Did they ever even try the N64?
It’s simple really… people don’t want to shell out money for a multitap if there’s no good 4 player games, and developers won’t make good 4 player games unless enough people own multitaps. 3+ player games on the PS2 are practically non-existant (as well as online games for PS2 and GC for that matter, modem costs extra there too)
take the Tony Hawk series, for example.
my friends and I have all stood by, watching the game while only TWO people play at a time. I’ve been saying the same thing ever since they released THPS for N64.
im not a PS2 owner, but do you guys have only 1 friend? or 1 friend that plays video games? thats the idea that seems to be in Sony’s head
im not going to look, but from what magazines have told (or, in this case, shown) me is that it looks A LOT like the previous two games
like, no big visual changes
oh, and Spider-Man 2 did that with Manhattan, except they didn’t give the city a fake name…
i think it is fun having 10 or so people crowed around a plastation while 2-4 people play (depending on the game), well the others may actually talking / listening to music doing other things while the others play. what good is it spending 5 hours straight on a game, huddled on the floor??, it is good to wait around for a while give you a break.
…
btw what is with the big rivalry, depending on hwat console you own (seriously i have heard 16 - 18yo (people at my school) fighting over the weather ps2 and x-box are better, fairly lame hey)
…
Any way i own a Good PC, for gaming, mainly for RTS / FPS / RPGs
