quote:Topdawg2050: HALO RUELZ!!!!!        

I didn't like Halo much. It's fun for a while, but the whole atmosphere of the game isn't right. Maybe it's because the people who made this game didn't have fun making it. I can tell by looking at the atmosphere, and the originality it. It isn't quite good in Halo.
Age of Empires however (which was also made by Microsoft) is a very good example of the authors having fun while making it. The atmosphere is kick ass, the levels are creative and the cheats are too much fun to handle.

Oh right, Halo. Well, I didn't like it. Seems the authors had a really though boss who didn't tolerate creativity or not following the almighty script.

I have the following consoles:
- NES
- N64
- GCN
- GBC
- PS2
- Megadrive 2

I used to have loads more, but don't have them anymore. I also have a SNES emulator on my PC.

If I was to list them all in order of preference, with my favourite at the top, it'd be like this:
- SNES emulator
- N64
- NES
- Megadrive 2
- GCN
- GBC
- PS2

[Laukev7]

I used to have an NES and an SNES. They have been both replaced by emulators.

On the other hand, I just bought an old Sega Master System at a garage sale for $5.

[CyberCat]

I have:

Gameboy Color
Cameboy Advanced
Gameboy Advanced SP
Atati
XBOX

Though I really dislike Microsoft I still think XBOX is over-all the best modern console, besides Dolby Digital is the company that actually makes the XBOXes, and I don't think the controllers for XBOX suck any more than the controllers for any other console.

i agree halo did lack in some ways, but its a great game to just have 8 people come over and play for hours.

although rumors say that halo was going to be hellaciously better before they went to ms

and i agree about age of empires.

4. possibility for best graphics though few games use it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good graphics has NOTHING to do with a game being good. I think Mario Brothers 3 is still the best game ever. Do you think it is not good becuase it has now shitty graphics? Anyway, if I want a game with good graphics, then I will get it for my pc.

:Morrowind. Halo, DOA3, Fable, Halo 2, Gladius, Splinter Cell (best on the Xbox), Knights of the old republic, Marvel vs Capcom 2,Rainbow Six three, Brute Force. The point of a Hard Drive is so that games load faster and that you can listen to your own music,which is as some of you a stupid reason because the game designers put great music in their games allready, even thou I would love to agree its simply not true. I mean the music may be good to some people but tastes in music vary so widly thats its almost impossible to get a good song to everyone who plays the game. I dont understand your complaint about the controller slots. The reason Few games use it (even though enough use them for it to be noteable) is because most games are foolishly posted. You dont have to waste your money on Memory cards, while other weaker systems you have to buy memory cards for are the same price.

I have a ten page artivle about how the Dreamcast is more powerful than the Ps2 even though its two years older. I will tell give the link at anyones request. even if some dissagre I find the games On DC to be for the most part better.

I would like it for you to say the facts not just assumptions. Im not trying to be a jack ass but you can sway alot of people with lies.


EDIT please try to put everything in one post.  If you want to add more then just edit your existing post.

That killed my reply, doesnt look like what I posted at all? I am sorry thou I normaly dont post three times in a row but some things came to my noggin after I posted and I felt needed to be said. The reason for not editing is I have been posting on My gaming clan boards and they dont have an edit button (which I find odd and dumb). almost all the controlers in the gaming world are simply the evoled versions of its the console before it. Ps2= Saturn X-box=Dream cast GameCube=?????. Nintendo has made it "their thing" to make odd controlers. While the N64 was great the Game cube conts I dislike.

 

quote:I have had a single ps2 8 mb memory card for 3 years and it has over 30 games saved on it and is still not full. Plus I can take just the memory card over to my friends house, and play my saved games on his PS2, tell me how you can do that with a hard drive?  

Man if you play games alot you will soon understand that you run outta save. I have 4 mem cards for my PS and they are all except one chock full of data. Also if its that hard to simply unplug you xbox and carry it then you need to stop gaming anyway. I mean if you friend does have an xbox he has the cords and a tv so just unlplug the darn thing and bring it over. With two Xbox'es you can do alot of cool stuff too so the thought of "should I bring it over?" should never occur in your X box head.

Hey, here is the fact:

SNES is better then ANY other console known to man.  I dont care how old it is now.

[pofnlice]

Here you can take your Xbox downtown and get the all region mod + a HUGE FRIGGIN HD + about 100 games installed. All for the low low price of about 100,000 Won. That's about $70.00 (USD). In PS2 all I can get is a multi region chip that allows me to play dvds regardless of NTSC or PAL format and all region games, for 50,000 Won (About $35.00 (usd)).

A lot of peeps are opting for the XBox here based on those reasons alone.

[bedouin]

I currently own a Gamecube and a Gameboy Advance.  I bought the cube for Soul Calibur 2 and F-Zero GX, but became addicted to Super Mario Kart Double Dash and Ikaruga later on.  Not to mention it has a PPC CPU, so it appeals to my Mac-loving side.

In the past I've owned: Atari 7800, Master System (my favorite machine of them all), Genesis, NES, SNES, PSX, Dreamcast, and a Gameboy (the original B&W model).  I have a tendency to sell machines once they are replaced by a newer generation.  The Master System (and all of its games) is the only one I really regret selling, just because they're a bit harder to find -- especially in the condition I kept mine.

When the ROM scene became big it was like a dreamworld for me: tons of games I wanted to try as a child all at my fingertips.  Buy a PSX > USB converter from Radio Shack and emus are as good as the real thing.  In fact, I kind of prefer playing NES on a nice crisp 17" LCD.

There's one machine I haven't been able to enjoy in emulation though: my c64.  Waiting for the 1541 to load, hearing the drive click and clatter, and using the actual machine is part of the whole experience to me.  Pick up or construct one of these and you can write disk images directly from your PC to a 1541 drive.  Anyone know of a way to do this with modern (USB) Macs?

Oh and about the "Super Megason" -- it's very real.  I was going to pick a similar system up once but figured it would be PAL, and useless on any of my televisions.  

Systems I never owned but always admired (despite whether it was justified or not): Atari Jaguar, second generation Atari Lynx, TG16 and TG Express (or PC Duo, depending on where you're from), and the Sega Saturn.  

Hmm, surprised nobody has mentioned the Apple Pippin[URL] in this thread.

[dull60]

why hasnt anyone mentioned the knights of the old republic (kotor) which would not be possible without the hardrive.I personally think the x-box is the best next gen system.
p.s. I know about the pc version but xbox costs about a 3rd as much as a new pc would cost me

[zao]

"why hasnt anyone mentioned the knights of the old republic (kotor) which would not be possible without the hardrive.I personally think the x-box is the best next gen system. "

Because these games were designed for a particular system. Much like FFXI were designed to use harddrive. In other other words, these games can be done if hardware manufactures wish to create a HDD for their consoles.

[Orethrius]

I still say the guy that came up with the MechAssault bypass to load Linux into the X-Box owns us all.  So does the first guy that decided to cluster them.  Then again, I seem to remember somebody trying that with PS2's recently, too.
