Arcane Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 So umm... did anyone actually get one yet? It just seems awfully quiet here in the VG forum when a brand new system just came out 3 days ago. Link to comment
Crube Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Not yet. I heard there were some bugs... but then again... somewhat common with launch releases. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Well there is a reason no one has mentioned it here. Saying it would just be stating the obvious. Link to comment
Belial Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 From what I've seen so far of it, aside from the new console glitches, its looking like the X-Box 360 is going to be a pretty solid console. They're definitely trying to persuade people who are usually PC only gamers with games like Call of Duty 2 and their overall focus on online gaming. That's probably not a real smart move, but kudos to Micro$oft if they pull it off. All in all though, I'd have to say that the console looks sexy, and all the bells and whistles are cool.

Ceraziefish Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I have a friend who got it. He said Perfect Dark Zero isn't as good as Halo 2. But this guy liked Halo 2. Make what you will of it. Link to comment
Crube Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Oh boy... I can't wait till LinkOcarinaMang comes back. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 You don't have too, I'll take his place. I will not buy, promote, or admit that the Xbox 360 is in anyway a good machine. Unless it can prove to me that it has the sprit of a console in it, and not just an overglorified computer. Link to comment

Unless it can prove to me that it has the sprit of a console in it, and not just an overglorified computer. I would use the term "underglorified computer" for a console. But I suppose the mainstream audience would find the Xbox 360 to be more impressive than your average PC. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yeah, it's got Halo 3! Take that, computers! Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yeah, it's got Halo 3! Take that, computers! I'm going to accept this as sarcasm. However if it is not, then I must now move you into a whole different catagory of "dislike" this one involves killing. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 It certainly was sarcasm. Halo was fun for fifteen minutes. Halo 2 was fun never. Logic dictates that Halo 3 will be fun for anti-fifteen minutes. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Despite it being "not the same" 90% of the playable games on the Xbox were either avalible for another console or on the PC. Thus, paying $300 at the time (or $400 for the 360) just to play four or five games is worthless. The only games I regret never playing are Panzer dragoon, and Ninja Gaiden. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) The only games I regret never playing are Panzer dragoon, and Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden and JSRF for me. EDIT: Oh, and Steel Battalion. Not worth it at ALL. But it was fun to play a few times at my friends house. Edited November 25, 2005 by Ceraziefish Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 On top of that the Xbox control, even the small one, wasn't good. At all. I hear the 360 one is better, and it even looks better, but I still just can't use it. Link to comment
Belial Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 The X-Box's S-Controller was great, plus it didn't break every 6 months like a PS2 controller. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 The X-Box's S-Controller was great, plus it didn't break every 6 months like a PS2 controller. I still have the two controllers I bought at release. You just have issues. And no, the X-box controller was a piece of shit. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) I've had 2 PS2 controllers since 2001 and they both work fine... Original XBox controllers were terrible. The S's weren't too bad. EDIT: Gamecube controllers ftw though. Those things are all kinds of sex. Edited November 25, 2005 by Ceraziefish Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Agreed, the Game Cube controller has to be the to best one to date. Link to comment
Belial Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Agreed, the Game Cube controller has to be the to best one to date. Too bad Nintendo wasn't smart enough to stick with something that works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Oh, and Sony practiacally prides itself in its shitty craftsmenship. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I can't place those two statements anywhere in logic. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 But... Hasn't it been confirmed that there will be a base thing for the Revolution controller so it functions exactly like a GC controller? Besides, that setup that I saw (with the analog stick attachment) made it look functionally the same as a traditional controller. I had no faith in Nintendo's batshit plans for the DS, and that thing is awesome. I'm going to trust them on the Revolution thing. And Sony makes a shitty system (in terms of not getting DRE's because of a strong wind), but I haven't had any problems with the controllers. Link to comment
HappyLittleBoozer Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Good thing the 360 is an entertainment system and not a console. That should keep all the fanboys who cling to Nintendo's udders like a teething calf from getting up in arms over it. Not that they have a leg to stand on, really. It's always the same old disses... (prepare for rant). 1. The 360 is huge! And? It's not 'travel friendly' (even though I can easily carry mine in a regular laptop case). So what?! You don't have to take a console with you everywhere, you sad fuck! Go outside or read a goddamn book! 2. It's just a fancy computer! Wait... There's something wrong with this? Aren't all consoles 'computers'? Yeah it does have a harddrive in it... Wanna fight about it? This only means that games load faster, play faster, have better graphics (even on games ported from other consoles), and I can even download games online... BITCH. 3. It has a lousy library of games! Only if you're a twat who's riding that band wagon of defining the Xbox by Halo, when I, a contented Xbox owner, is sitting right next to a stack of well... alot of games (not going to count... too many) that I am completely satisified with. As for the 360, it launched with 18 games to its library, many of which have already been reviewed (with great receptions) by reputable sources. Games such as: Gun, Call of Duty 2, and Perfect Dark Zero. Let's not even mention the upcoming games like the new Elder Scrolls and DoA4. So, for you 1337 gamerz who are too cool for the 360, and you know who you are... the ones with the AB controller tattooed on their ass, here's a big a FUCK YOU! Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 You have to be an idiot to call the playstation "shitty". Link to comment
