[quote=DSMagnum]I'm a little late to this thread, but I feel that I need to comment on a few things.

[quote=Cairoi]You want good games only the gamecube had? ALRIGHT.

LEGEND OF ZELDA: WIND WAKER

FIRE EMBLEM 9

ANIMAL CROSSING

SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE

TALES OF SYMPTHONIA

METROID PRIME

FINAL FANTASY: CRYSTAL CHRONICLES

MARIO KART: DOUBLE DASH!

The list goes on.[/quote]
There are 3 great games listed up there, an okay oone, and the rest were bad in someway. I'll start with the good games.

LOZ: WW is possibly the best game for the GameCube. SSBM is also a good game, but it's better for parties and what not. Metroid Prime was a good game, but it ruined the series. Metroid was much better as a side scroller.

MKDD was an okay game. It was fun, but definetely not great.

Fire Emblem 9 was just another Fire Emblem remake. If it were so good, why didn't it sell more? I rarely heard anyone talk about the game, and when I did, they said it was bad. Animal Crossing is overrated. Tales of Symphonia wasn't that great either. I saw it have some okay sales at a Game Stop one week, but it was under Super Mario Sunshine. If a game that old and that somewhat bad sells more than a brand new game, it can't be great. As for FFCC, I'll admit to this. I did reserve it and I do still have it. I don't play it though. I played it a few times for the first week I had it. It just got too repetitive. I wish I hadn't spent my money on it.

There are some better games that you forgot, Star Fox Assault being one of them. Most of the good games for the GameCube were multiplatform games, such as Enter the Matrix and the games in the NFS series. I like some games for the GameCube, but the games made specifically for it normally suck unless they're made by Nintendo.

[quote=CairoiThat being said, I'm getting the Wii for 3 reasons:

1. It's not as fucking expensive as the PS3.

2. The controller idea is amazing.

3. The controller for the PS3 looks like a boomerang. I loved the PS2 controller, but this looks painful to hold.[/quote]
Yet you have nothing to say about the Xbox 360. >_> Also, I want to comment on your comments.

1) The original NES costs $600 and the games used used to costs about $70, kinda like the PS3, but people still bought it. It's not about price, it's about quality.

2) The controller idea is good, but think about how complicated it'll be. The concept is a great thing to try out, but the fact that it's infrared may cause problems gaming and it'll just make things 10 times harder. Besides, I don't like nun-chucks.

3) If you have been paying any attention to anything recently, the PS3 controller is no longer like that. They ditched the idea.

So now you have 1 reason to get the Wii, one reason why not to get the PS3, and nothing said about the Xbox 360. I have a reason why not to get the Wii though: The name sucks and it's easy to make fun of.

[quote=Star FX]first of all, cairoi, i said good recent exclusives

ps
does the playstasion 3 font look alot like the kind they use in the spiderman movies?[/quote]
The last exclusive to come out was Metroid Prime 2 I believe. Or Resident Evil 4. Then again, that's now a multiplatforming game, so I don't think that counts.

As for the PS3 font, I read something about that in a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly. According to that, they used the same font.

As for which gaming company is the best, Rare is. Too bad no one has heard from them in a while. :(

Anyways, I'll probably be going with the Xbox 360 mostly because it's affordable and it has a normal means of playing, as in you don't spin the left controller in a circle in order to make something open. The Wii has a nice concept, but I just don't like it. I've only seen one game for the Wii that makes me want to get it, and that's SSBB. The Zelda game will be for the GC, so I'm just gonna get it for that. The PS3 is just too expensive, though, when you think about it, it's not that bad of a deal considering a Blu Ray Disc player costs $1000 and the PS3 is only $699. I don't have a HDTV anyways so I won't bother getting a PS3 or a Blu Ray Disc player. Really, I'm not that big of a gamer, but I like games that play with a normal controller. I do prefer gameplay in most cases, but I'm a big fan of racing and shooting games, which is a common find on the Xbox 360.

So I voted for the Xbox 360, but I doubt I'll be getting one, or any Next-Gen system. If I had the money, then I'll get one, but until then, my computer and my DS supply me with enough entertainment.[/quote]

Xeoman Posts: 5373/11757	Some of you have probably seen these, but it looks like it'd be a good time to post this: Retarded. (can't really argue its biased in anyway though. This guy did it to the 360 when it came out, and the next day a video of his gang smashing a Wii was posted also).
Astrophel Posts: 1556/2724	I do not advocate the destruction of such an expensive object, no matter how much it sucks, unless its purpose requires its destruction (like a bomb). This is because I do not like to see that much money completely wasted.
Banned Posts: 3070/-3459	Logos... That post had absolutely nothing to do with what you quoted. It had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU QUOTED. IT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU QUOTED What is the matter with you? Go away. Thexare, you want to smash the PS3, right? ^___^ Lol! That's funny. Sony is an evil company... Btw, search "Smash my PS3" on google or youtube or something. That should probably make you happy! ^__^
Logos Posts: 436/641	Originally posted by Thexare Blademoon Originally posted by Logos Is there any possibility that people who can't afford to buy a PS3 are just bashing what they cannot have? Presently I can't afford an Xbox 360, a Wii, or a PS3. I only find myself wanting to bash one of those. There's a pretty obvious conclusion, I'll let you figure it out. Since I think the PS3 is a pretty awesome system, and I'd buy it if I played games more often. Or needed to calculate a massive number of the digits of pi. Either way works fine.

Banned Posts: 3062/-3459	Anyone remember how much the Neo Geo failed? I do. smiles
Logos Posts: 431/641	Originally posted by DragonShaddow What use is a system that not everybody can play? Obviously, so that more prosperous people can laugh at your inferior system. The PS3 is just on a higher margin; just as not everyone can afford a Wii, not everyone who can afford a Wii can afford a PS3.
Banned Posts: 3060/-3459	Not being able to have it is a damn good reason to bash it, I think... What use is a system that not everybody can play? Hell, wasn't the POINT of the nintendo wii that "Everybody can play"?
Logos Posts: 426/641	Is there any possibility that people who can't afford to buy a PS3 are just bashing what they cannot have? And is it true that in Japan, the demand for the PS3 is far less, since they're Nintendo obsessed there?
FX Posts: 1562/3775	And what about the fact that they lost FF exclusivity, and they're coming out on 360 now too?
Astrophel Posts: 1507/2724	Originally posted by Logos Plus, what will people do when they make a Final Fantasy game for PS3? Before I answer that, do you want me to answer based on my opinion of Final Fantasy or based on everyone else's?
Logos Posts: 259/641	Originally posted by Thexare Blademoon Originally posted by Logos But you forget, PS3 is liquid commodity, and Wii is not. If one doesn't like it, they can sell it for massive profit. Yeah, uh, one issue there. If most of the PS3 interest stems from "how much profit can I make reselling it?", then the system isn't in good shape. It means there's a massive demand, and in the long run, Sony has a definite advantage because their system is incredible. The games you see for PS3 don't even use it near it's maximum capability. Plus, what will people do when they make a Final Fantasy game for PS3? PS2 was incredible because many of its games were awesome, and it was a good system. In time, I think the same will be true for the PS3, in time.

Cairoi Posts: 1728/3807	Spartan: Halo isn't that great. Personally, I think Nintendo is back on top. I like the Xbox 360, and yeah, the PS3 seems crazy, I guess... But the Wii rules them all.
Logos Posts: 233/641	Originally posted by Thexare Blademoon Better graphics and processing power aren't worth an extra three hundred dollars. ... actually, in my opinion, they don't count for anything - it's all about the games, and I'm not particularly interested in anything that's PS3 exclusive. Nor am I interested in a lot of Xbox 360 games, but the part of my mind that tells me not to waste money is a little more comfortable paying (how much was it for a 360? ) for five or six games now and probably more later than it is with paying six hundred for one game at best now and maybe more later (but the PLaystation 2 didn't get many exclusives I really was interested in, so I'm not holding my breath) I feel like I'm repeating myself... maybe I post on too many boards. But you forget, PS3 is liquid commodity, and Wii is not. If one doesn't like it, they can sell it for massive profit.
Banned Posts: 2755/-3459	I agree with Thexare... this is why I find myself playing Tetris, Brain Age, and Phoenix Wright, more often than Final Fantasy XII. O_o Wow... I somewhat hate myself.
Spartan Posts: 1238/1569	Here is how I predict thsi will go down.. Wii will hit the top of the charts for the first 3 months... PS3 will launch something cool Wii loses charts.. Then one of the Xbox 360s awesome games launche and they are back on top again. Then Halo 3 launches and people are burning their Wii's and PS3's inteh streets
Logos Posts: 219/641	I think that we can all agree that Sony should stop shift their budget and just make promotional advertisments, like Nike should.
