You bought one too, Rast? Join the club , my friend. I bought one lastnight. Only difference is, unlike you, I am not enjoying it in the least, to be blunt, I think it is total sh!t and have already unplugged it and feel no compelling reason to play it again, until some actual decent games come out for it (save me the HALO claim, I hate FPS games).
Now, for the GC launch Sunday....May that one be better....

Rastalant you lucky sum o\' b****;) I hope you enjoy your new Xbox and happy gaming.

Its the total opposite for me can\'t stop playing this system. I\'m very pleased with my purchase. I played the RL2 demo for gamecube and that game is pretty sweet. :thepimp:

I just got home with the box. Have not had time yet to hook it up, I am enjoying my dinner right now, fish-n-chips.
One thing I noticed is this thing is heavy. The bag handle broke on my way to the car.

Tell you the truth, I found it pretty funny as well. The clerks at EB were all moaning every time they had to pick up someone\'s bundle.
I hope the shelf I put it on doesn\'t collapse. ;)

Hey BizioEE the PM said it was too long so here it is.........my xbox impressions.......Enjoy.
What\'s up BizioEE? Its good to hear from you again. My thoughts about xbox is that the systems is a power house with graphics and the games has the gameplay to match it. First off DOA3 just has to be been seen to be believe. I mean this game is beautiful(all running at 60fps with not a drop of slowdown), I think its a notch above VF4 graphics(I just played it in the arcade a couple of days ago. Basicallyl if you liked doa2 you will love doa3 it has more of everything stages, characters, moves, ending(Some of the best CG ever), and most important the gameplay has been tweaked to almost perfection(you can also do wall combos similar to tekken 4). You have to see the ice cavern stage, chinatown stage, and the snow stage. Unbelieveable!!!! This game has to some of the cleanest most beautiful textures I\'ve ever seen. Even the character models look a good bit better than doa2, I mean the clothes look like clothes. For example bass outfit looks like a real leather or a brick looks like a brick. DOA3 has the best soundtrack of all the doa games. Mostly rock style music, and guess what? Best of all doa3 has ZERO loading time. None. Overall, this is a must have launch title to show you the power of the xbox.
Halo-So far I\'m about 3 hours into the game and let me tell you this game has some of the most unbelieveable graphics I"ve ever seen. The framerate is very good and stable. Once again the textures are high res and very clear. Halo also has a strong soundtrack it sounds like a moving soundtrack. Its very dramatic and intense. Very good music. Halo strong point is also its gameplay I mean its a FPS but with a unique twist to it you have a army of guys helping through out the game. For example one of your marine friends maybe ambush by an alien and he will ask you to come and help him fight them out. There\'s also alot of speech in this game. Amazing. The control is that it uses both analog sticks one moves you forward the other one rotates you. Its easy to get use to after awhile the trigger button fire and are your generades. Another cool feature is that any bad guy that you kill you can pick up and use his weapon. I"m at the point that I"m riding a jeep and have to a way across a bridge. Well overall has is the top of the line in FPS. Another must have title for xbox.
Project gothem-I had to get a racing game you know and PG is the game to get. Its basically a sequel to MSR for dc, but it really enchanced. The graphics are a silky smooth 60fps and with some of the best car relection since gt3. The cars looks amazing they have a gt3-look to them. This game has some massive looking stages for example the new york stage has tons of building around along with street signs and everything. Which really makes it look like the location in real life. Also the music is pretty cool mostly deejay tracks and radio stations with a mix of rap, rock, pop, classical, and other unique types of music. Guess what? If you don\'t like the music you can burn your own music on the hardrive and race to it in project gothem. The controls is very arcadey-feeling and you earn kudos points depending on the way you perform in the race and what techinque you use(Like powersliding). I only been playing this game for about 2 hours and its awesome. So overall I"m loving my xbox and I forward to see what this system can do in the future. I"m glad M$ enter the console market and look forward to seeing the games of the future and what xbox can bring to the table. I would recommand all of these games their all must haves. Hope that helps. Enjoy.....

Congrats rastalant!! So how the games compaired to PS2? Is there any slow downs in the games? Hows Halo? Oh, does the X-box have a cooling fan? Sorry for all the questions. :D

Thanks pstwo!!!:) :) The graphics are better than ps2 but it doesn\'t blow them away it mostly has clearer textures and bump-mapping effects. Halo is awesome see my above post for impressions it\'s just plain awesome!!! The xbox cooling fan is very quite I couldn\'t even noticed it. Thanks cool I enjoy answer you guys questions.:) Oh yeah one more cool thing about the xbox you don\'t need a memory card you can save the games on the hardrive which has 50,000blocks. I only used up 15blocks with all three games. Overall, PS2 and xbox are both great systems. I"m loving mgs2 on ps2 as well. This is perhaps the best.......game........ever........:fro:
-
I got my Xbox today.The graphics are awesome,but they are only marginally better than the PS2.Halo is unbelievable.I got Half-life the other day,and between the both of them ,I am in heaven.I think they blew it with the controller(not even close to a dual shock).Why did everybody rip on the PS2 for the jaggies?Halo is very jagged and has some shimmering textures.I don\'t mind ,but people trashed Sony for this.Gotham is ok,but is does not look or play as good as GT3.

Hey Ras!
How is PGR compared to GT3? I\'m not talking jsut about graphics.

Well...............their two completely different games PG is more arcadey and gt3 is more sim. PG you can get kudos points depending on how well you raced while gt3 is racing for your licence and upgrading your cars. A feature I like on PG is the car damage for example your car gets all banged up and your headlights and get busted to. Overall, I guess it depends on your taste which one you like more arcade racers or sims. If theres a racing game on the market that matches gt3 visuals its PG. Overall both games are good.:)

That\'s different. You are locked away b/c you are a danger to yourself and others. That\'s why all the knives and forks in your house have corks on the end of em. :D

(Feels jealous)
Damn, one of my friends need to hurry up and get it so I can go to his house, stay the night, raid his kitchen, play his X-box, hit on his sister, raid the kitchen again, and take his X-box@!!!!

I\'m really considering picking one up too, but I have a few hesitations:
How does Halo compare to PC shooters (HL, UT, Q3). Better? Worse? I\'ve played a lot of shooters and I\'m uncertain if it\'ll be that captivating for me.
I played some DOA3 today (my friend\'s) and I have to agree that it is amazing! We were both standouts at DOA2 and I have to say this is quite a step beyond. Just how important (for once) being in a 3d environment is is such a pleasant surprise. I am worried everytime a wall or tree (or anything solid) is behind me for fear of getting absolutely pummelled (anyone who has played DOA3 can attest to this). Much of my strategy involves these obsticals. This and the fact that moving around in 3d is wonderfully easy make this game a good step forward for 3d fighters. I still think I\'d rather kick ass in VF, but this is definately a close second.
I\'m not a big racing fan, so that doesn\'t draw me in either. I\'m straddling the line here. Is Halo worth the praise? For someone that has played every shooter since Wolf, is there anything here to offer me?
thanks.

As for halo its better than all the pc shooter I\'ve played(doom, quake 3, unreal tour, half life, etc.). I\'m not just saying this to hype the game I mean in the gameplay and graphics department halo is revoulition. Yes halo has a lot of new stuff it brings to the table. I think its perhaps the best FPS ever from what I\'ve played. If you get an xbox you MUST pick this game up and not to mention its verrrryyyyyy fun. DOA3 does of some gameplay enchanements from doa2. Like watchdog said you can use the enrvirment to your advantage. DOA3 also adds in wall combos like tekken 4. This is the best looking 3d fighter I ever laid my eyes on. Perhaps the best looking game I\'ve seen. Overall, if you pick up halo and doa3 you will not be disppointed with your xbox. Unless you hate fighting games and FPS, but it you like both genres you must have these games.:thepimp: :thepimp: :thepimp:

I don\'t know its going to take a lot to beat halo I mean this game is a masterpiece.:eek: :eek: :eek:

NO WAY! GOLDENEYE ON THE 64 IS BEST FPS EVER!
Example, one time me and my 3 best friends stayed the night and started playing the game at 5:00 p.m. and stopped playing at 11:00 a.m.
Sounds crazy but so true.
*Note with occasional 10 minute breaks to : piss, get another coke, get action from Marc\'s twin sister (hehehe).
That game is a classic and has a sweet multiplayer. It\'s in my Top 20 best games, all-time.
-
Goldeneye is great,but it has been passed up.Play muti-player on Timesplitters .You can also play co-op in Halo.The whole game with a friend helping.All of that with little to no slow down,and almost no drop off in resolution.Don\'t even say Perfect dark also had co-op.You could count the frames,because it slowed down so much.

One night I stayed up and played Pit Fall all night. Does this mean it\'s the best platformer of all time? No.

WORD.
Vapor Snake, one time I played Super Mario Brothers 2 for 12 hours a day all week long. SMB2 == best Mario game EVAR! :rolleyes:
I did not have the chance to play Goldeneye until after I played Timesplitters -- and man was I shocked. "This is that really good console FPS game?! It\'s so blurry and slow!" I don\'t think Goldeneye can even be compared with the next-gen FPSs.
-
Medal of Honor is the best FPS ever.
Vapor Snake likes getting on his friend\'s twin sister...nasty.

MOH 1 and 2 had more atmosphere than every other console FPS out there put together

Funnest thing to do in MoH:
When one of the Nazis would say "Show me your papers" I would show them, let them turn around, then shoot them." or when one would say "Who is your commanding officer?" I would scream "Your mom!" and blast them with whatever weapon I pleased!
Excellent title. The new ones better be like the old ones or I will unleash hell.
