Donate that money to PSU

I really like my x-box, i still play halo all the time and since a friend has one i often have halo parties with the xboxs linked. Halo alone is worth an xbox if you ask me, i think halo 2 is going to shut down my pc for a month or so. I just recently sold my ps2 for CoH and to pay off my new paintball gun. Never had a GC because the only game that was even close to decent was SSBM but that has aged and halo has outlasted it.

I love my XBox and PS2. There are some ass-kickin games for both, and its definately worth having them. I can't really speak for XBox Live tho, I don't have it so I can't say whether its worth it or not. But games like Rainbow Six 3 and the like are definately worth havin on the XBox. The voice commands stuff doesnt always work, and it feels kinda silly yelling "Open Breach and Clear!" at your TV, but its fun.

Edit-I also agree with Heavygain... Halo is worth its weight in gold... and hasn't gotten old for me yet.

Also, hoping to someday get Steel Battalion... that game looks kickin'...

The only time I play Halo is like once maybe twice a month when I get 16 people, 4 Xboxes, 4 TV and we all play together. That is the only way I will play Halo.

After playing like that playing single player or even 4 player on one TV just blows. But I love my Xboxes and PS2.

I don't need an xbox to play crimson skies, there's one down town that i can play-with motion seats!

But i'm getting an xbox. I would just buy a refurbished one, but at gamestop is says nothing about a free used game and I only got $132....so my mom would pay tax ahahahaha!

Beware of refurbished Xboxes. I bought one from EB cause we were short one for our Halo LAN but it would randomly shut off, something was makeing noise in it when you moved it around, and the disc try would grind when it open and closed. Basically what I'm saying is, people at stores like that don't what the hell they are doing. I believe Dhark had a same problem if I remember correctly. So just be careful.

PS2. if you're gonna have a console, have a PS2. it's a dedicated console. it's not some microsoft bullshit attempt at making a console into a PC. fuckers. god shat up microsoft.

Dharkbayne · 2004-04-30, 04:53 PM

Uhhhh, PS2 is simply a plastic box trying to be a console.

Setari · 2004-04-30, 04:55 PM

Ok then i got some questions.

1. Would it be worth getting an Xbox for Ninja Gaiden, Halo etc.?
2. Or instead getting a PS2 for MGS3 and stuff?

oddfish · 2004-04-30, 04:57 PM

PS2.. and no, Dhark, i can't agree with that statement. then, it's quite clear you are not a fan of PS2 and never will be because your cewl dewd friends don't like it or something. i'm not gonna argue about which is better. PS2 has it's ups and downs, and XBOX has it's. Halo, yay, almost every PS2 title (ALMOST) yay!

MGS3 will be god. MGS2 is teh SUCKAY fuck Raiden, he's a little bitch.

Mag · 2004-04-30, 05:04 PM

The new Ninja Gaiden is completely worth the $180 you'd have to spend to get it. Most amazing game ever.

1. Would Xbox and Xbox live satisfy a PC gamer? Not a chance in hell
2. What games, online and offline would you recommend and why? The Xbox just doesnt compare to a PC in any way shape or form. Dont waste your money on it thinking its fun to play one on line.
3. Is Xbox live worth the monthly fee? No way in hell
4. Is built in voice as cool as it sounds on paper? Are tactics and other useful in game stuff discussed, or is it just used for people to talk about random unrelated shit? I found it annoying as hell but then again, I find voice in any game annoying as hell and a necessary evil.

That being said, if you have a bunch of money to blow, go for it. Personally, I would save the money for an uber PC video card. Sometimes its cool to have to play with friends that come over to your house. Games like Halo and Return of the King are a good example. Also it has some interesting single player titles that dont get PC releases. KOTOR was the perfect example (it became so insane popular they had to port it to PC but werent originally going to) Upcoming titles that look really good are B.C. and Fable. Remember though that you can rent games so dont buy any
