Why waste money on a Xbox? - Page 2

^'s right. Counterstrike and Halo are heading to PC, Jet Set Radio and DOA3 are on PS2, and what the hell's Toejam and Earl? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Lurch1982 · 07-10-2002, 03:27 PM

Counterstrike is on the PC and has been since 1998.

Good luck trying to run Halo without slowdowns on the PC.

Haven't heard anything about JSRF ports or a DoA3 port.

Toejam and Earl = Genesis title.

imported_Parrakarry · 07-11-2002, 09:55 PM

PC is more sophisticated than X-box, depending on the type you use.

Genesis? Woah, X-box is getting that sophisticated games?

Pikahobbes · 07-11-2002, 11:02 PM

Don't bring the Genesis down to the level of XBox. The Genesis has far more good games than the XBox ever will. And I mean it, damnit.

Halo is not all it's hyped up to be. [/quote]Halo is only the best FPS ever. It IS all it's hyped up to be. But it's coming out on PC in a few months, so I have no need to own an XBOX.

Good games:
Halo (coming to PC)
Dead or Alive 3 (pretty good.)
Munch (debatable)
Project Ego (agreed. this is the game that might make me buy an xbox)
Panzer Dragoon Orta (another sweet looking game.)
Morrowind (have it on pc. sick of it already.)
Project Gotham (average racer)
Spider Man (IT IS SWEET) (no. it isn't.)
Hunter: The reckoning (average.)
Burnout (average)
Robotech Battle Cry (looks ok. isn't it multi-system though?)
Splinter Cell (also multi-system. does look good tho.)
Ghost Recon (looks ok. pc game as well.)
Unreal Championship (carbon copy of PC title Unreal Tourney 2003)
XIII (is multi-system)
Amped (looks pretty good)

Lurch1982 · 07-12-2002, 01:22 AM

Yeah, I'd rather play PC games till my fingers fall off, but I can't afford to upgrade every year (so I skip out on Morrowind on PC, Neverwinter Nights, and anything else new except Warcraft III because its a 2 year old piece of **** that was delayed too long).

Halo - dedicated hardware is nice, lack of bots is not nice.

DoA3: Fun, but no soul calibur.

Munch: been putting off a review since i was hired at XGF, but I'd give it roughly a 7. Stages too short.

Project Ego looks great. Still waiting though.

Panzer Dragoon looks sweet.

You didn't like Morrowind? Any reason?
(My XGF review should be up next week, wrapping it up tomorrow)

I liked PGR better than Gran Turismo. Control scheme was good, music was better, personal soundtrack rocked.

Spider-man is the best spiderman title ever (except for that Sega game from the early 1990's with the submariner, black cat and hawkeye).

Never played burnout. Looked mediocre to me.

Robotech looks like it will rock (I'm definately getting this one) but it is on PS2 and Xbox (I'm not sure if its going to gamecube, but I'm faintly remembering only seeing an Xbox/PS2 next to that game on the release lists).

Splinter Cell- Xbox gets it like 6 months earlier and will have a better multiplayer experience.

Ghost Recon: Clancy rules.

Unreal is unreal, no matter if its a carbon copy of the PC version. Quake suxxorz.

XIII: What?

Amped: I loved it. The control scheme takes getting used to, but its actually superior to the Tony Hawk scheme.

Hunter the Reckoning: is not average. The best multiplayer game out (Yes, it beats SSBM and anything else you can think of). As a single player game, it frankly sucks. It was not designed for one idiot to reinact night of the living dead; its designed for FOUR idiots to reinact night of the living dead.

Few more I thought of:
World Series Baseball (out now, the BEST baseball game in years)
House of the Dead 3
Shenmue 2
Ninja Gaiden
Crazy Taxi Next
Mech Assault
Crimson Skies

Morrowind is quickly replacing Halo as my favorite Xbox game. I played it for roughly 9 hrs. yesterday on my day off, and I haven't done that with a game in a long time.

07-12-2002, 09:30 AM

Why is everyone so excited about Amped? It's an average snowboarding game. I'm waiting until 1080 White Storm comes out. Now there's a snowboarder that's going to be above average.

Morrowind, while an amazingly large game, is not immersive enough for me to enjoy it. The plot moves to slowly, and is too open-ended. As EGM put it, it is only for the most hardcore of hardcore rpgers. And I am not in that category.

Calling the newest Spiderman game the best ever does not make it a great game. Look at all the other Spidey titles. *shudder*

Lurch1982 · 07-12-2002, 05:55 PM

Amped is out, 1080 is not. and yes, SSX sucked ass. You cannot kickflip a snowboard. No.

So basically, you started it and couldn't figure out where to begin, huh?

Best spiderman game ever...not best game ever. Its a step in the right direction and hopefully they get it right.

I got 5 hours into the plotline. Got bored.

Lurch1982 · 07-13-2002, 11:12 AM

See, I did the same and went crazy with the full open-endedness of the game.

Well, maybe, because IT'S BETTER! PS2 has that sicking game Jack and Daxter!

07-22-2002, 05:57 AM

Since Halo is comming out on PC and MAC, i d rather stick to my PC.

See, an XBOX is a PC hybrid, so why not get a REAL PC?same games, better graphics with my new GeForce4 ti [img]smile.gif[/img]

I take it you have those tiny kid hands? The Xbox controller is a little large, but my hands can handle it.

The only people I've known to hate the Xbox are Sony fanboys and Nintendo fanboys(and girls). I don't care what the system is, as long as the games are good.[/quote]true. true.<Megg falls from the cieling>

Are you trying to spread "Meggism" outside the NC forums?

07-23-2002, 08:32 AM

X-Box is the 3rd next-gen system I'm getting. Why? DOA3, Jet Set Radio Future, the upcoming Ninja Gaiden game.......that's it so far (that's why it's the last one to buy).

07-23-2002, 04:20 PM

Buy Gun Valkyrie

Lurch1982 · 07-23-2002, 10:28 PM

GV sucked. The next Sega game I'm waiting for is House of the Dead 3.
