Xbox Regrets - VGF

05-18-2002, 09:32 AM

Now that the Xbox is $199, I'm really starting to regret purchasing it back in December. Other than being able to review games for XGF and the awesomeness that is Halo, there really hasn't been anything yet that's justified me owning one. Just look at the scores of the games I've reviewed so far: 4.9; 6.1; 6.4; and finally 5.8.

I wish I would've waited. Next console war, I'll be a little more patient when deciding what to purchase. The GameCube would be in the same boat, if it didn't start out at $199. I've played some stinkers on it also, but I've also enjoyed Wave Race, Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Leader, etc.

well, I disagreed with some of your scores, so we have a dispute already. But I do wish I could have waited for the price drop. But then again, Halo was not something to wait for.

Morrowind, Project Ego, Spider Man, and some other upcoming games a worth the wait. MUST HAVE MORROWIND

Why is there a dispute? It's only one man's (mine) opinion...I'm not saying any other score is wrong. Those are just my scores.

Duh, that's my point. I could've bought an Xbox now for $199 and still gotten Morrowind and Project Ego the day they shipped.

If i hadn't wasted most of my college free time skunking people in DoA3, Halo deathmatch, and NHL2002, I'd feel shafted.

Spiderman isn't much to get excited over and already multiplatform.
