LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

I've got an idea, I've layed it out in 10 easy steps.

1. Take your X-Box
2. Find the person who baught it for you.
3. Bash them over the head with it.
4. Repeat #3 until they're dead, and there's not too much blood to clean up.
5. Sell your bloodied X-Box to some fanboy, and call it a 'Designer' case.
6. Give him this list once he's given you the money.
7. Spend the 250 bucks the poor SOB gives you on a better console.
8. Bring it home.
9. Play it.
10. Ralax your muscles in knowing that you no longer own an X-Box, and attempt to repent for the sin of killing someoen with such a horrible gaming system.

Apparently you can't read kirby. No where did he ask how to get rid of his XBOX.

Jim, sorry, I don't know a lot about XBOX games, and nothing about prices. But GTA Double pack would probably be a good choice and so would Prince of Persia.

Okay, if you've already got 2 consoles that have all of the same games as the X-Box that are worth owning (With the exception of very few) why do you want an X-Box?

The only good games I can imagine for the X-Box are KOTOR and Splinter Cell. Both of which were 10x better on the PC in my opinion.

You may have these games on other consoles or the PC, but these are my three favorite X-Box games, which I would recommend:

Halo
Knights of the Old Republic
Splinter Cell

------------------
GhostOfYoda - General doer of stuff.

because some games on all systems are better on xbox and my PC sucks completely... plus just because you dislike something doesn't mean everyone else has to

------------------
LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

I never said that. You may very well like whatever you want, I for one, do not like X-Boxes, and I was giving you that as my opinion. I've also told you a few games you should buy, and they seem to concur with another X-Box owner, so take that as my answere to your thread, and ignore my opinion...

What’s wrong with Xbox jEDiKiRBY? Or any other console for that matter? I have all three next generation consoles (Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Gamecube). Not to mention I also have a PC. All four platforms have their good and bad games.

Now I got that point out. DrkJedi82 some good games you can get for Xbox are:

1. Halo - Probably the most popular Xbox game right now. its a great first person shooter with excellent singleplayer and multiplayer gameplay and great graphics and sound. Definitely get it.
2. The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind -Game of the Year Edition - a first person RPG. Includes the original Morrowind and the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansion packs. Fun game but can be hard at times.

Other games I can recommend are Dead or Alive 3 and Unreal Championship.

This is the official end of the X-Box debate. If you'd like to debate how much the x-box or other consoles suck, do so in another thread.

Yeah, if you have an X-box you NEED Halo, KotOR sounds pretty good too.

All you people who bash the Xbox jsut for the sake of bashing suck, just like the people who bash GC for the sake of bashing it suck. Do any of you know anything about the Xbox at all?

"Like it's really big and heavy!!!" So what?

"The controller is huge!!!!" So the **** what?

There are actually good games out there for the Xbox if you took half a second to look.

Halo
KotOR
Dead or Alive 3 is a great game to play with friends
A lot of the sports games work out great on Xbox if you like them.
GTA3 and Vice City are coming out in a box set

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

That part made no sense.

Now for more reasons to not own an XBox:
1. VERY FEW exclusive titles.
2. Games are unstable (See: Morrowind, KotOR)
3. DVD Player remote. Can't watch DVD's without it, burn $30 getting it.
4. Has the least amount of games over all systems. (Think the GCN has less? Check the Game Boy Player. You now have a game library of over 1500 titles. Even without that, I believe the gamecube has more.)

ok you think Halo is better on PC? you obviously don't know a very imperfect port when you see one...

GTA3/VC may be on PS2 but the xbox versions are better not as good as the PC versions but my PC blows and i spend less time playing games on it than any of my consoles

and ...



1. there are more than you obviously think there are
2. and some people have had NO problems with games known to be unstable.. also PS2 and GCN have a few unstable games so ...
3. i already have a PS2 and a DVD player... why would i want to use the xbox for DVDs?
4. and if i'm not mistaken the xbox was also the last of the current consoles to be released (and you don't count gameboy player for gamecube)

anyway... the original purpose of this thread was to help me decide what to do with the $30 i had left of my christmas money which i used to buy Halo

------------------
LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

Halo was LOADS better on XBox.

I'm not a console man. Simply put, I've never liked the things. But my friend forced me to play a few of his games on XBox, and I changed my mind about it. It is the one console I like and I'd love to have one. I just don't have the cash to spend.

That having been said, the few games I've played that he has that I'd recommend...
- Halo
- Ghost Recon
- Rainbow Six 3
- KotoR

That's my 2 cents. And remember that Halo 2 should be godly.

It's alright to say 'whore'.

------------------
Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

Try Enclave, it's a fun enough lightweight Rune-esque 3rd person singleplayer hack'n'slash game. It's not an RPG in any other sense than that you get to equip your character before going on the mission and that you've got health potions .

------------------
I've just locked an open door. Strange, yet symbolically compelling!

You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese.

Unless you know a bunch of people who have Xboxes, Halo, and a spool of cat5, pass. Halo's PC port wasn't that good, but it wasn't that good of a FPS period. The novelty of Halo is that it lets you play games with more than 4 people. Since the PC has had that for ages, with vehicles, in much better titles, Halo is very much redundant.
It also had rather lackluster singleplayer.
Throughout, it seemed more like they were attempting to create a "futuristic warfare" simulator rather than an entertaining first person shooter. They could take a few lessons from id - at least their games were fun, and their maps weren't just the same hallway model pasted in 5000 times.



No... really. There is very little in the way of selection on the Xbox. There are absolutely no exclusive titles to speak of. It has a very small library, and an even smaller selection of quality games beyond that.



I've heard of one GCN title that had serious bugs. I'm not talking about instability, I'm talking about game breakers or serious errors in gameplay. That one title? A sports title.

Off hand I can think of two major games that have suffered from gameplay bugs... Kotor had a game-breaker that a couple of -ites ran into. Morrowind suffered from the usual spattering of bugs that made their way from the PC version. I'm sure I could find more if I tried looking.



Regardless, the fact remains that many of the people who buy the Xbox buy it because of its multimedia capabilities. In order to get those capabilities, you have to buy a special remote. The PS2 comes with that ability enabled. The remote isn't required.



The US release of the Gamecube was about a week after the US release of the Xbox.

The Xbox is also the most expensive of all 3 consoles, which its library cannot possibly warrant.

The only remotely good "exclusive" title, Kotor, is now available for PC in all of its patched glory.
The Gamecube's library has finally matured. There are games to choose from, and so many that - for a change - I'm not able to buy all of the games that I want for the console. The Xbox, on the other hand, isn't in a better position now than it was when the console was released. Halo still tops the 'must buy' list for Xbox buyers. I can't name a single launch title that I'd recommend to a new Gamecube owner. Pretty pathetic.

And to top it all off, the Xbox has no franchises. None, at all. Microsoft has been cannibalizing the PC game industry for their console, and it goes without saying that the PC game industry doesn't have any of the franchises that console gamers look for.

All of this, combined, is why the Xbox is currently a distant third in the market.

MechAssault, Hunter: The Reckoning, Halo, KotoR, blah blah blah, just go to a pawn shop and pick some games up for cheap

-If you don't know, then don't ask...

Welcome to the Internet where no one has any fear of speaking their mind.

For those that care, I've tried the rest and I've looked at them extensively. Gamecube and PS2 have controllers that are, to me, the most evil things in existance for my hands. The XBox Controller S was right at perfect for me. If I had to purchase one right now, it'd be a matter of games as well. The titles I want are on XBox and look better. Sure, PS2 has a few (about 5 I think) and so does Gamecube (about 2 I think), but the vast majority are on XBox.

Now before anyone calls me a Microsoft supporter, I hate their SOFTWARE. Their hardware is a bit of a different story. Windows to me is the worse OS in existance in many cases. But some of their hardware isn't bad. I got their Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 for Christmas and love it. I've had one of their joysticks. It lasted longer than anything else I've bought to date, and it got beatup one quite a bit.

So yea, I'll end my rant now.

i used to hate the S mainly because of the position of the black, white, start, and back buttons now that i've actually had time to really use one i now prefer them
