Which game system best? - Page 2

Mindfields · 02-16-2005, 06:43 AM

Well, I don't have any game systems, but I've played each one of these at various locations (friends house, etc.)
I don't like GameCube because the only really addicting game on there is probably Super Smash (and I'm not even sure if it has that).
I personally think PS2 is the victor here, because Microsoft has computers to deal with, and Nintendo has the DS to deal with.
BUT I hate the PSP because I read the article that was also posted in this forum.
DS is handheld, get it.

I lol'd.

Anyway, I would say it depends what kind of games you're looking for.

If you're looking for good party/multiplayer games and excellent first party games, go with the GCN.
If you're looking for RPGs or other single-player games, go with the PS2.
If you like playing online, go with the Xbox.
If you're on the go a lot, go with the DS.

I personally prefer the GCN because it has the titles (Metroid Prime series) and characters (Smash Melee) I like even though I usually play by myself. Melee has easily provided me the most entertainment playing video games with friends because as casual players we are able to appreciate the comedic nature of the game while still maintaining a level of competition.

im the best system!!! and if u want to remake me on a computer you'll need a quintrillion megabyte videocard!!!muhuahaha, LIEK OMGZZ!!11//..

**Kilgamayan** · 02-20-2005, 09:27 PM

Shut up, moron.

Tasuke · 02-21-2005, 01:23 AM

Okay here it is

Gamecube- If you want a bang for your bck get this. Everything about this
is cheap. The cheapest system out no, pretty cheap games and etc. The Graphics
are pretty Damn good if you ask me. But you can only play games. No DVD and such.
Pretty damn good for Multiplayer, but the need to develope an official online system for it.

PS2- Best all around system for the average gamer. Most extensive library of
games( PS1 and PS2). Pretty Graphics again. Worst in durribilty though( put it
somewhere low and out of the way). You can watch DVDs and listen to music. Not
necessarily cheap but average i say. not multiplayer-freindly, unless you can get online

XBOX-For the "pick up and play type" Okay/not very good library of games,
ut you will buy it for Halo and Halo 2. The graphics are better than PS2 and
almost equal with Gamecube. This thing is HYOOOGE. size of a VCR( support the TV on it)
If you do not watch out you can stub your toe on it. Good Multiplayer and Best known for
ONLINE. Will put a dent in the piggy-bank, not cheap what-so-ever. and finding 3 month old
games for under 40$ in some places is not fun.

Overall
Gamecue- Good Graphics, Good library and cheap to boot.
PS2- Best library of games, okay graphics right in the middle for everything pretty much
XBOX- Not a good library, Good graphics. But you really just want it for Halo

Exactly. That's why I have one.

**Kilgamayan** · 02-23-2005, 10:40 AM

Why not just get the PC version?

StarOceanFanboy · 02-23-2005, 11:43 AM

To be honest, my PC's a piece of junk... otherwise, I wouldn't have an Xbox... but then there's Halo 2...

flypie743 · 02-23-2005, 03:06 PM

Xbox = Live + Halo 2. There are no other good games. I could count the number of good games for Xbox on one hand, or three fingers.

PS2 = Large amount of decent game.

GCN = Awesome in every way possible. It's got great games, graphics, controllers, etc. I would choose GCN.

DS = Good if you are on the go a lot, like Kilga said.

suicidalmuskrat · 02-23-2005, 03:14 PM

Ok, I'm as big of a Nintendo fan as there is, but GCN is not awesome in every way possible. They don't have the best 3rd party support, and have very very very few good 3rd party exclusive titles (yes I know RE4, but what was the real good one before that?). However, they do have some of the most fun games. It doesn't have a hard drive/DVD player, as previous stated. But I'd say that overall it's your best choice, if you don't need any of that extra stuff.

now there's a real thread. why SNES wins all. or NES......

vashthestampede0987 · 02-23-2005, 05:58 PM

Ok here is for all you fucking halo addicts. Wait for Halo 2 to come out on PC. Then sell your xbox and all your stuff for it. Then JUST FUCKING PLAY THAT BECAUSE ITS FREE ONLINE! Oh and with the money you have go fucking buy both a NES and SNES.
