Title: Who here owns an Xbox and hasn\'t touched it?
Post by: M4 on January 08, 2002, 07:34:29 PM
*nods*

My brother plays it all the time, though, so it\'s not like it\'s a blatant waste of money. I haven\'t gotten an ounce of enjoyment out of it yet. Halo is just kind of "eh" to me, DOA3 can\'t draw my interest at all, Fuzion Frenzy is just like every other party game, I\'ve never liked GT3 and obviously won\'t like PGR..

There\'s no doubt in my mind that the system will get some superb titles by the end of its life, but in the meanst it\'s kind of bland. But hey, since it\'s in my bedroom, I have a great DVD player I can use. I must admit Microsoft did a nice job on the system\'s DVD player--a  lot easier to use than the one on PS2. And we all know my feeble mind is incapable of anything.

Can\'t say the same thing.  What games do you play?

Can\'t say the same thing either...play just about everyday.  Are those the only games you\'ve tried?

:laughing: Not me, I play Halo, PGR, Oddworld, DOA3, NFL Fever and Max Payne everyday on my Xbox.  I\'m working hard on PGR to unlock cars.

Yes, those are the only games I\'ve tried. They just come off as mediocre to me; I haven\'t had much fun with the thing. But that\'s just me.

In the past few months, SSB:M and TM:B have been the games I\'ve played most. Those, and Earthbound and DKC2 on the SNES. But I\'m a strange fellow, so eh.

No, I actually just described my experience with Xbox when it first launched.

I have to agree with Nvidia. I did the same thing with my PS2 until Onimusha came out. Infact, when I bought my six PS2 launch games, I put each one in and cursed about how I was "ripped off". I then popped in the DVD "Dirty Work" and fell asleep on the couch. That was my PS2 launch day...

*shrugs*

Oh and M4 - wait until Jet Set Radio Future comes out, then the Xbox will get plenty of play.
;)

If I owned a Xbox... All I would play would be Oddworld, Halo, and Max Payne... But now that I think about it... I might get bored with Max Payne and Halo fast... And I have no clue about Oddworld, so there you go.. Really, now is not a good time to own a Xbox.








Truth.

Thats so different, Watchdog said some things from Super Metroid can\'t be done in a FPS, thats all he said, while AJOH just guessed on how he would like the game, and guessed on what games he would and would not like

I stand here today and say that Metroid Prime will be a FPS and nothing more.  I\'m sure it will be good, but it won\'t be Metroid.  The new Metroid is being developed by a different company and has turned from a 2d side scroller to a FPS.  If you have played the original and have an ounce of common sense you know that it can\'t capture the same game play.

I love FPSs, I\'ve played nearly every one and a good number of mods.  Are you telling me that 3d Street Fighter is the same as the side-scrolling one?  You make sacrifices (and make gains) when you go 3d, and those sacrifices cannot be overcome.

This is simply Nintendo cashing in on a franchise.  I gather they are also making a traditional Metroid game, this is good news.  But to call a FPS Metroid is like calling an RPG Grand Turismo.

You make a good point. JGR was my favorite DC game, so I should get a lot of enjoyment out of this one.

PS2 was like that for me, too, for the first few months. Until TM:B came out I didn\'t play it much; then I got a huge number of great games all at once. Maybe Xbox will be the same way; who knows.
