BreakDown Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 So heres the question. Whats your favorite video game system? My personal favorite would be the Gamecube! I have been a die-hard nintendo fan ever since the Original NES came out and I am yet to find someone who makes a gaming system better then them.

1truefan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Psst...I'm confused on this..this could have in the games forum tooo........loooooooooool. sorry..it's just funny. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1truefan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 By the way, I choose the Xbox. As the matter of fact.....Max is a Xbox live beta tester...so expect news from him later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 First off let me start by saying that I have never played any of them. With that said, I would not choose the XBox, because I fail to see what I gain by buying that over a computer system with top video and sound cards. The Playstation 2 is right up there, I finally got a Playstation a year/ year and a half ago and its pretty cool... Dreamcast is no longer produced as Sega has gotten out of the console business and that is too bad..... For a while the Genesis was the premier gaming system, and was one of my favorites. I did purchase one along with three sports games for like 70 bucks. Good deal, but now I know they dont produce the games anymore.... But I would probably choose the GameCube mainly for history. Nintendo has long been known as the leader in the gaming business both with consoles and games.... It doesnt hurt when Nintendo is the most kid friendly system and has been for a long time..... I would choose Nintendo with Playstation a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Everyone says that computer thing but honestly, just because it contains computer components doesn't mean it will run the same games. Also, an xbox costs $200, a computer with a top video card and sound card will cost you $1,000 and you know that within a few months there will be a better computer out. So far i'm very happy with the xbox, the games are great and I can't wait to play online (hopefully I can save up some money to buy the kit).

1truefan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 (PSST..Who ended up moving this topic) So nene...will you provide updates on your testing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 If I actually get it i'll let everyone know how it is, otherwise i'll just have to wait until November to buy it when it really comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 a top quality sound and video card you can get for close to$500 if not less... the sound cards do not 'necessarily' need to be updated all that often..... my sound card is still a very good quality one and is over two years old... i still contend that with my PC i can do everything that I can do on XBox... maybe not play the same games right away.....but so be it..... i guess for me I am biased.... Since the games I like are sports games and strategy/simulation games..... Those action games are not my favorite..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 For strategy and simulation a PC is the way to go, for sports, any system nowadays will do considering that the sports games come out on all 3. For me, I love playing online games, especially first person shooters and sports games, so the xbox was the first choice on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 i agree..... its more difficult to use a pc for action games and shooting games for various reasons..... but the thing with a gaming system is that unless you can afford them all, it will come down to personal preference.....

Maxx Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Exactly, I love playing action games on PC but there is just no way I can keep up with the technology, all I can play now are games that came out when my computer was top of the line, everything else won't work. I agree with you though, it all depends on what types of games you like most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 out of curiousity..... how much memory you got maxx???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Texan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 maxx..... you definitely need more memory...... smallish hard drive..... i am going to say the computer is circa 99 or 00......... i wont even go into some of my specs.......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 I know it's old, trust me, I had 64 MB of Ram before I found a stick of 128 at a special at Office Depot. I just can't afford anything new for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 memory is dirt cheap these days.... I got 512 mb of memory for I think 60 bucks or something very close to that.... i doubt memory has gone up..... the rest is still sky high for top gear....but memory is a good buy...

Maxx Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Well, I think this computers motherboard can only handle up to 256, so that's out of the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 damn...... i always forget about some motherboards not being able to handle some things..... maybe i should read up on the specs of a motherboard before trying to upgrade hardware..........

Joe Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 PS2 is the best, XBOX is a close, and GC is close to that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William H. Gates Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Without any doubt the XBox is the greatest and most powerful video game system ever created. It will continue to blow away other systems in terms of power, graphics and gameplay along with everything else in between. The XBox has been very successful as our first adventure into this market and we will continue to grow this arm of the Microsoft family. Again I see some trying to cause trouble like in the browser topic I started a while back and just reviewed. To those of you who are loyal XBox fans, thanks and we will continue to improve our products. To those of you who have not purchased an XBox yet, I implore you to do so, it is the future of gaming and the present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 PS2 But XBox is good also..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMLinkinPark Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 PS2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcha talkin bout Willis? Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 PS2 is the best because it has the most variety of games. Next is the Dreamcast which was an amazing system.Then Xbox because it has good exclusives plus some variety.Last is Gamecube.Gamecube has failed to impress me.The only games I would get are the exclusives.But even the exclusives aren't as good as I expected.I wanted to get WW so bad but after I played it at my friedn's house I was greatly dissapointed.Too Easy.

AJBurnett34 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 GameCube has very good graphics but the Worst games i have seen. They are all little kid games like Mario and Yoshii. If they had better games it would be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
