x-box Vs ps2

manincamo... what is your point? that you think xbox is not a good console ?

why waste your time and energy repeatedly violating forum guidelines?

granted that lad who wrote the article does not like the xbox very much but its pretty apparent that its either a 12 year old who just recently learnt to cuss or its a repressed dood who has no life... :)

anyhoo... granted the xbox has faults... let me address a few topics your "author" has come up with...

1. the xbox design is not going to win any awards BUT it already comes with everything you need... unlike the other consoles... can't play anything else on the gamecube... no drives for dvds unlesss you mod or attach external... ps2 dvd player not as advanced... also the xbox has a hard-drive to store games on the fly unlike the memory modules used in other consoles... also you can play with your very own sound track for games.. try that with the other consoles..

2. there are far more bad games for the ps2 than there are for the xbox... however due to fewer "quality" games the xbox takes more heat than the ps2... admittedly the xbox think tank did not seem to realize that title quality mattered till late...

still your "author" DOES post that the halo is in top 10 selling games in july... @ #10... thats AFTER many many months... halo is flat out the best game released to date... on any console incl. PC...

3. the controller is large for those with small hands... however I bought extra contorllers and they work perfectly... Xbox titles starting with Halo are utilising all features in the game engine and the controller to full effect unlike the other console's initial releases...

4. people who own the xbox DO play video games... they also watch movies and record songs for playback on their hard-drives too...

5. the japanese game makers already make games for the ps2 and have done so for a while.. they are releasing games for all the consoles now... it is a fact.. just look @ most of the new releases...

6. what he coulda mentioned is they lacked foresight into making a strong lineup of gaming titles... though the xbox titles out there right now are not that bad.. they are certainly not as wide or varied as the ps2...

7. if you think the xbox is expensive please explain what justifies the price of a ps2... ?

8. oh wait there is no 8... but whatever...

your "author's" juvenile rant is mirrored in your own lack of respect for rules posted... there is such a thing as constructive criticism... and such a thing as idiocy... and unfortunately that is what this article that you continually choose to post demonstrates...

look back to your prior post and see the link posted there.. THAT is a comparitive link... THAT is what constructive criticism should be like...

we are NOT hosting a 3rd grade class but we have standards set that all members follow... by merely posting on this website you are acknowledging that you have read and understood the rules and regulations... if not here is a link to refer to...

please do take the same amount of time you have mustered to repeatedly post that useless article to read the guidelines... and adhere to them...

thanks...

Hey jackass( I could see how someone could be offended by this ,but its just an animal:p), I didn't post that to start a flame war, or to try and piss anyone off so why don't you get off your high horse, and join us common folk down here.

I posted the article because he asked for opinions, I gave an opinion. It wasn't mine, but i thought some people might find it interesting. Oh dear my! Not trying to be helpfull by offering a different point of view! HOW DARE I!!!

second off, its not my article, I don't have a XBox, PS2, or any other system for that matter, and I havn't since playstation first came out, and that was a number of years ago, and has been a number of years since i touched the thing. It has more dust on it than my dead grandma's clock in the basement. Therefore, I don't care one way or another.

Like i said, i was offering up an opinon, the article, which I read and found very interesting.

I never said it was constructive criticism. If you need your criticism spoon fed to you your whole life, then you are in for a big awakening should something happend to your sheltered world. In the the real world people don't care about your emotions. I didn't care if anyone was offended by the article, you can't do anything in this world without offending someone, so why try to start here.

You critisize me for editing and posting the article, yet i wasn't allowed to offer up a regular link. It took me a whopping 2 minutes to edit that text using word, yet how long did it take you to reply to everyonce of those.

how about this, it is obvious that you a snobbish *whoops, can't say that word* who think he/she is better and me. Learn to deal, and not be such an ass about everything.

I havn't tried to be mean, I havn't tried to raise controversy, all I wanted to do was be helpfull and add a different perspective, and I get flamed. Grow up
 
ManInCamo may I suggest that you pull ya head in or you'll lose it. Sticks & stones. For nine posts you seem to know what xperience is like.....not. Guidelines is guidelines. Follow em or leave.

What have i not complied with?

I didn't post any 'bad' words, i posted a link. I havn't been warned(just noticed i was, in yet another edited post, how lame), I've had my post edited, for inappropriate reasons IMO.

Your statements are hollow.

How about this, I'll be mature enough to end this conversation, how about you do the same?

If you wish to continue, then PM, or email me.
 
stop the god dam flaming please!!! the mods are ALWAYS right as far as your concerned. when youve been round a bit more then u can question them if you feel like it. the mods are excelent and as far as i'm concered i want 2 get back 2 the topic. the link was removed for clear reasons so get over it and carry on.

so any more coments on the x-box ot ps2? i've had sum really great feedback so far thanx:p
 
My personal opinion is thus.....
The PS2 has a LOT of games, as every developer jumps on the sony bandwagon when they're console is released as it sells millions upon millions of units within weeks of launch, this isn't to say that there are no good games available, there are some superb titles available (Resident Evil, Silent Hill2, MGS2, GTA, etc) and there probably will be a lot more in the future, you just have to ignore the copious amounts of tripe that gets published in comparison. I'm quite content with my PS2, it serves well as a gaming machine and will posssibly one day serve well as a linux box... but thats a different story ;)

and the xBox, well, its Microsoft, its big, i hardly know anyone that likes it, i know NO-ONE that actually owns one, and all the press have to say is "well yeah, halo was good" I'm sure there are more titles to the xBox than halo, but the fact is that everyone wants to make games for sony, the xBox didn't exactly sell to well, so making a game for that, or the PS2 is an easy choice when it comes down to possible profit return.

Now for the outsiders...
Sega's dreamcast, my personal favourite console of all time, i still use mine, i know they dont make the units or even the games anymore, but the "homebrew" community is excellent, with ports of games such as Quake2 coming out theres always going to be a nice stream of things to do with the Dreamcast, it even runs linux ^_^
Another thing that cant be denied is that the controller for DC is the most comfortable pad ever designed, and its also known that sega make some of the best games in the world.

Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo have always made consoles for what they where intended ... gaming. it seems as if they dont really care about profits and just want to get a nice affordable machine onto the market that plays top quality games.
and with Sega backing them in the gaming department along with there own in house productions, you can guarentee that the gamecube will have the highest quality line-up of games, even if theres a lot less to choose from.

So to summarise.
PS2 V's xBox ... PS2
Other Consoles ... Dreamcast
Relistically Other Consoles ... Gamecube
 
well I dont really know I havent had a console since Sega Genesis, I am still holdin out for Halo on PC which looks like it might be comin, but it could fairly crap compared to games that are comin out now, we'll see if the PC implementation of it is any good.

If I had a TV and the £££'s (money) then I would get a PS2, only to screw over MS for stealin Halo from us lovely PC Gamers.

That is my rant

Geffy wants Halo for PC and he wanted it 3 months ago!

you want the final word? you can have it...

we as mods have to regulate the content of this site in order to maintain a standard... nothing more... nothing less... opinions are free to be expressed but abuse of this right is not tolerated...

you say you have not overstepped the guidelines?

I never started with the name calling or the flaming... and am not about to either...

but remember you have set a standard for yourself with your posts in this thread and others...

regarding you posting a link... if it is in your post and the link is to a third party site that violates forum regulations... it is your responsibility...

you are welcome to use this website... everyone is... we do not judge people here... but rules will be enforced... just be more careful about your posts in future...
