So far I can only see Halo. That\'s not to say there aren\'t any others... but seeing how there are less than 10 games I want for PS2, it\'s no wonder it\'s even less for Xbox.
So if you\'re also one who\'s not easily entertained, what games are worth getting for Xbox?
-
ditto
more importantly, are there any good exclusives that were released, or soon to be?
I\'m gonna start looking for a new coaster soon.
-
Buffy, Outlaw Golf, Munch, Amped, PGR, Enclave, Rallisport, World Series B-ball and other sports are all fun games.
But the only ones on that list that I\'d actually reccommend is worth buying are Amped and PGR/Rallisport and if you like sports games. The rest are really only a good to rent. I won\'t buy a game if it doesn\'t have multiplayer, and sadly (this is especially true with the PS2), most good games don\'t have multi, so I guess I\'m a serial renter.
I\'d say wait until the big fall games see release. Mech Assault, Quantum Redshift, Unreal, Toe Jam and Earl, Panzer, Shenmue and maybe even Brute Force, but if truth be told, I\'m high skeptical of this game. After x-mas there\'s Crimson Skies and Midtown Madness.
If there isn\'t a game on that list that you are interested in, sell your xbox, because it\'ll be a long wait until Halo2 and Progect Ego see the light of release and by that time the xbox will be $50 (if it keeps going as it is). :)
You didn\'t ask for PS2, but Rygar, Contra and Burnout 2 look great.
-
Those are all fun games (I haven\'t played buffy or Enclave though) but I think Samwise means games that are superb, that deserve a rating of 9 or above.

mm, may I recommend a slight change to you last post. How about *insert annoying comment that really isn\'t true because I am bitter here*
j/k :)

ehhe, how about i change it to

Only fun game Ive played on X-box is Fusion Frenzy IMO its a great Party game but single player isnt fun at all.
(PS: I havent played Halo)
-
Samwise, Did you get an Xbox? Well you are looking for a fun game. Fun....humm..... Ok I would wait for Blinx, Tork or Psychonauts. Check out http://xbox.ign.com/ for info and screens for these fun games. Don\'t for get to see the new Halo 2 move on Sept. 5.

This is getting out of hand. What fun did we all have with the PS2 the first year out. What fun have we had with the Crapstation the past several months?
Genma 2? SOCOM? Sega Tennis (classic remade? I thought that was the Xbox way?)? Mark of Kri? Stuntman? What about Kingdom Hearts? A game that couldn\'t miss, looks like it has (I haven\'t played this one, obviously).
All these games were supposed to be AAA titles and all of them are mediocre or worse. Where are all the fun PS2 games? Just because PStwo likes xbox, doesn\'t make it crap and the PS2 wonderful. If you ask me xbox has had a better summer, and looks like it\'s going to have a better Fall.
That pic was funny the first time. How many times have we seen it now? Riiiight. :rolleyes:
I know it\'s cool to bash the xbox, but it\'s childish and it just ain\'t true.
-
Kingdom Hearts??? What about Kingdom Hearts? I havent seen any reviews except a few import ones of the Japanese game (with the English one improving on all the problems that were found in the Japanese version)
-
Kingdom Hearts isn\'t out yet.
PS2 is still pumping out better games than XBOX now and it seems PS2 isn\'t pumping out as much as they usually do.
-
vivi is right
for what comes out at any givin time, PS2 gets better titles
-
That\'s opinion, and I disagree. Plus, say whatever you want about Morrowind, but it was the highest rated console game of the summer. And remember when Chrono had that thread where he looked at the ratings for the summer? Pray remember that xbox had not only the highest rated game, but the highest average.
Here\'s one review of Kingdom Hearts:
http://www.xengamers.com/sections/reviews/8412/
All I\'m saying is that you guys like to throw stones at xbox while living in glass houses.
EDIT: Prepare yourselves, because I\'m going to make a lot of sense here: Remember how PS2 is always getting bashed because the Japanese were using it as a cheap DVD player only and all the titles were ugly and aliased? People still bring that crap up and it\'s just not true. It\'s not true, yet it has now became forever attached to the PS2. There was a time when the xbox had a lack of good games. That time is long past, but people still think it\'s true. It\'s not. Get over it.

Even though its better on the PC...
And the Kingdom hearts review must be import, since it comes out the 17th. Besides I\'d wait for a review from Gamespot or IGN
Edit: I still think its true. I don\'t think XBOX sucks, I have one. But I still think PS2 is much better right now. It\'ll be about 6 more months till XBOX shows its true colors and shows Shen Mue or Project Ego etc.
-
and i also dont think the xbox sucks
i think the way these kids hype "teh PS2 killah" is what sucks
pswto telling me morrowind is the best game ever is what sucks
rastalant saying "what?!, what?1! xbox what?!" REALLY sucks
waiting and waiting and waiting for xbox exclusives to come out and only to be let down is just the worst
-

:laughing:
-
so yer laughing at yerself calling hollowind the best game ever?
yeah, i thought that was amusing myself
-
My point is that PS2 exclusives haven\'t exactly blown the roof off either. I remember something about glass houses and throwing stones...
Even if the PC version is better, that doesn\'t invalidate the xbox version, nor is the point even valid--consoles don\'t compete with PCs. Is it valid that GTA3 is superior to the PS2 version (moreso than Morrowind PC to Morrowind Xbox)? No, that\'s not what we\'re talking about here, nor should we be.
And that PS2 killa crap is old too, and you\'re calling the hettle black because the PS2 was hyped just as much if not more. Again, see glass house comment.
-
I hate Morrowind. Also I just bought Turok and after me and my friends played multiplayer for about 5 minutes we put Halo back in.
-
You guys talk like XBox has had no good releases over the summer. It has had the best average review and GASP!! The best version of every sports game is on XBox!!! mm, it\'s great you don\'t like Morrowind, but calling it crappy is a very small opinion occupied by only the ignorant few who have never played it and RPG haters (me included). I can see where Morrowind would be classic, but I want to get right off the boat and start killing people, not thrown in jail, dammit!
I have had a great summer with my XBox and it is only going to get better during the fall and winter months. Psychonauts and Panzer have me more excited than any game right now.

-
im sorry watch, did you say something?
:P
-
Its nice to see that other people besides me still play Halo.
-
To add to Beast\'s point, xbox has the best version of every multi-console game released this summer.
No, mm, I didn\'t say anything. You hearing things again?
-
so how can the "best" version of madden 2003 (a multi console title) be on xbox
:)
-
Better sound, better graphics, better framerate. The only advantage PS2 has is online, but Madden has always been about money plays and high offense--I\'ll take 2k2 this year anyway.
-

I don\'t agree with any of this.
-
Well, Sam, because I actually like you, I\'ll answer your question, unlike the rest of these guys.
Get OddWorld, it is the best game for the Xbox.
Now onto the debate.. Give me a break Watch, there has been more great PS2 games this year than the XBox fans can even imagine and as far as your comment about every game that has been multi-console and the Xbox version being the best...I point to..
Spyhunter.
\'Nuff said.

Like what? 0_o
So far I haven\'t seen anything on either system that\'s worth buying.
and as far as your comment about every game that has been multi-console and the Xbox version being the best...I point to..
Spyhunter is the only exception thus far...his point still stands.
-
Mark of Kri, Sky Gunner, Onimusha 2 and the list keeps goin\' on of great PS2 games. Spyhunter isn\'t the only exception, how about Madden? It lacks online play, the main feature for this years installment. And even if you don\'t include Madden, his point does not still stand.
xbox has the best version of every multi-console game released this summer.
I pointed out that this comment was wrong. So, how can his comment still stand? It can\'t. He was wrong, plain and simple. Not every XBox version of a multi-console game has been the best this summer.
-
Mediocre, okay, and boring come to mind with those 3 games you just listed. Same goes for any game released on any console this year.
As for the madden port, you\'re right. That had slipped my mind.
Still, the Xbox has more enhanced third party games and the trend looks to continue.
-
Damnit, Ginko, quit being logical and avoiding my point! My point was that Watch stated that every multi-console game was better for the Xbox, when infact that simply isn\'t true. Thats what I was trying to point out.
As for "mediocre, okay and boring". Bah. All three are great games, but then again, great games are personal taste. ;)
/me loves Ginko and hugs him, even though he called a Capcom game "boring".

From Jan.-Dec. 2002, the Xbox will have the best line up that it has ever done for it self. Games like Morrowind, RalliSport Challenge, Hunter: The Reckoning, Enclave, Jet Set Radio Future, Sega GT 2002, Quantum Redshift, Deathrow, Blinx, ToeJam & Earl III, Unreal Championship, Brute Force, Crimson Sea, Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, MechAssault, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shenmue II, Splinter Cell, Steel Battalion etc.
Now Xbox 2003 games, Strident, Duality, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2, B.C. DOOM III, Psychonauts, Tork, True Crime: Streets of L.A., Project Gotham Racing 2, Battlefield 1942, Project Ego, Yager etc.
and as far as your comment about every game that has been multi-console and the Xbox version being the best...I point to..
Spyhunter
\'Nuff said.
hehe! What about PS2 Wreckless port? :D
-
Pstwo, first off, saying the Xbox is having its best time ever isn\'t saying a lot. It hasn\'t been out a year yet for christ sake. And as for the Wreckless port, we are not arguring that the PS2 has bad ports. The point was just to point out that Watch was wrong.
I for one,believe all multi-console games are crap. Develop a game for one console and take advantage of that one console.
-
It hasn\'t been out a year yet for christ sake.
Xbox will make 1 year Nov. 2002. It\'s not that far away right and did I say Xbox came out 1 year already? No, I said from Jan. 2002-Dec. 2002 Xbox games coming out.
And as for the Wreckless port, we are not arguring that the PS2 has bad ports. The point was just to point out that Watch was wrong.
But that quote that you said is talking about 2 different ports. ??
-
Last time I\'m going to clarify this, because if you haven\'t got it already, I doubt you ever will.
I only was pointing out that Watch said every Xbox multi-console game out was better for the Xbox than other consoles. I pointed out that was not true. How frickin\' hard is that to understand? I swear, some people......

I have to agree with you LIC. The only difference for multiplatform games are the controls and that\'s it. No system has an advantage over the other. They just make it, change the controls for the two systems (which aren\'t that different) and put them on disks that could be read by the system. Nothing more, nothing less.
-
Good ole fashioned semantics-arguing.
Why the hell would you want to play Madden, anyways? It may have Online on PS2, but that doesn\'t stop it from being worse than 2K3 this year. Which has online on both, and more fun to play to boot!
Mark of Kri was repetitive garbage, Onimusha 2 is a rental (like the first), and Sky Gunner is stuttery garbage with even more garbagey controls. I am not going to make excuses for XBox\'s line up, alot of titles he listed are crap in my mind, too. But I have bought more XBox games in the past few months than I have PS2 games in nearly 2 years. It only makes sense to buy NFL2K3 on XBox, as well as waiting for The Thing for XBox on next week. I will continue to buy multi-console games on XBox that I give a damn about because of the ones that are truly interesting and more than half decent, the XBox gets the better version of the two. (I would say three, but half the time, they don\'t even make a GC version. :p)
That said, the only games I am still playing constantly on XBox (like every day or nearly every day) are Halo and NFL2K3. The good releases start this month, though. My wallet = losing weight.

that\'s not completely true Titan.
Look at Spiderman, Splashdown, or Tony Hawk 3. At the very least, better graphics are present. Then you have things like custom soundtracks, new levels, etc. There are other games, too. but you get the point.

:laughing:
Are you kidding me? Tell me the crap ones. This is Xbox hardcore list! LOL!!
Morrowind, RalliSport Challenge, Hunter: The Reckoning, Enclave, Jet Set Radio Future, Sega GT 2002, Quantum Redshift, Deathrow, Blinx, ToeJam & Earl III, Unreal Championship, Brute Force, Crimson Sea, Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, MechAssault, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shenmue II, Splinter Cell, Steel Battalion etc.
Now Xbox 2003 games, Strident, Duality, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2, B.C. DOOM III, Psychonauts, Tork, True Crime: Streets of L.A., Project Gotham Racing 2, Battlefield 1942, Project Ego, Yager etc.

C\'mon, You\'re on a PS2 board that\'s why you saying that. ;)

uggg, I was gonna post something important but this is a boring conversation anyway.
-
Thanks for spamming, Billy. ;)
Munch is the only triple A game I can think of for the Xbox. There is other decent games, but none that truly shine, in my humble opinion. As for Pstwo\'s list of "Xbox Harcore" a lot of those haven\'t been released and it is in my opinion always in poor taste to list games that haven\'t been released and consider them AAA+ titles for any system. *shrugs*
-

:laughing: Munch a AAA title? I have it but to me, no way I would rate that game a AAA Xbox title. It\'s mm favorite game and ask him.

:laughing: Mock my words, Those games I listed will be top Xbox sellers.

Ahem! Arent we forgetting about the little steam egine who thought he could GC? ;)
-
Being a "top XBox seller" doesn\'t mean much when you have such a small hardware base, now does it?
;)
-
Mock my words - pstwo
Erm.. everyone already is, and have been for some time. Maybe if you\'d put a lil substance behind your words (something more than LOL, a laughing smilie, or GOTY) you wouldn\'t be "mocked" so much.
-
My point does stand, Spy Hunter was released in March, and I said a superior version for every game this summer. You want to argue semantics, well there you go.
Also, if you want, I\'ll expand, the xbox has the best version of 99%+ of every multiplaform title. The games have sharper textures, better framerates and better sound. Arguing otherwise is flat out blind fanboyism.
And those three games you listed: Kri, Gunner and Genma 2 are mediocre titles. They are no better than Enclave, Buffy, World Series Baseball or Hunter.
I\'m not the one attacking PS2 here, I\'m merely defending the xbox. You boys only pick on the xbox and if you actually had a shred of partiality in you, you\'d apply the same standards to your beloved PS2 and see that it\'s not all its cracked up to be either.
-

Ummm, I would say so.
And there is a bit of variety available and lots more coming this fall. Only the good games are going to stand out and be top sellers...Halo, Dead or Alive 3, Munch, Project Gotham, are top sellers for a reason.
-
watch, im still shocked you think madden 2003 is better on xbox, sans online play
after the dreamcast, i was shocked EA supported xbox at all
-
Online play is a coo for PS2, but it really isn\'t that great a multiplayer game. It\'s all offence and going for it 4 downs straight every time because of the high percentage of completions.
There are so many money plays in that damn game I feel like I\'m playing NHL 95 with all the dekes and "sure goal areas". Okay, so it\'s a single player game, but that is ruined because of the 4th quarter computer cheat err comeback. It\'s infuriating that EA is that lazy and that stupid--and don\'t get me started on the commentary.
NFL 2K2 isn\'t a perfect game, but the AI is better and you hardly ever get the triple cover completions that are so commonplace in Madden.
Stats are as close to realistic as I\'ve ever seen, and the game is better.
So even if online makes Madden a better game than the xbox counterpart, who cares? 2K2 PS2 is a better game and it\'s online too. Everyone wins (except EA).
-
somehow watch, i dont think you enjoy playing games
you just enjoy comparing them
:)
-
I enjoy playing games; I hate buying EA\'s crap year after year--their egos are larger than their devotion. Sooner or later people are going to figure out that EA generally produces terrible, terrible games and that the only reason people buy them is because of the EA logo. Sooner or later people will figure it out.
In the meantime, I won\'t sweat it that Madden 2003 isn\'t XBL enabled.

Again, I disagree with all that you have said. And Madden 2003 is NOTHING like Madden 2002. I can make the same statements towards NFLK series and Visual Concepts. I won\'t though, cause it\'s pure stupid to do so.
Every game has AI flaws. Your opinon on EA, is just that , your opinon. Just as I have my opinons on Visual Concepts and their games. Your opinions are based on previous expirences from what I can tell. And you\'re so far off on Madden 2003 it\'s humorous. I\'m sure you\'ll have a clever response to this, and thats fine by me. I\'m just tired of seeing you degrade EA\'s game when it\'s the best selling FB game there is.
If people are buying for just the EA logo, then I\'d say EA has a very good Art Department.
And NO I won\'t figure any of that BS you said out. Cause I don\'t see EA making "terrible" games, I see EA making great games. An I\'ll continue to purchace EA games as long as they are fun and entertaining to me If Vision Concepts can make a game that is as fun and entertaing for me as Madden is, I\'ll have no problem changing my game of choice. Till then, I\'m sold on EA and their pretty logo. :rolleyes:
* speaks in Bugs Bunny voice \'What a maroon\'

Who said it was like 2002? I played 2003, and you can\'t tell me that game isn\'t all about offense. Scores get way too high, way too easily. There are plays that work almost every time regardless of what the defense does. You\'re blind if you argue that.
EA does a roster update, adds a new graphical effect and stamps the current year on the box and sells it as a new game. I\'m not going to argue any further. Check a couple other forums around, you find lots of people are complaining. Oh, but wait, you\'d actually have to open you mind and want to see the truth, and everyone knows that isn\'t going to happen.
The truth is, ever since I made you look like a complete ass in a thread a couple months ago, you\'ve been grinding an axe. Carry on, Kid, enjoy your Madden. I don\'t care, and while you\'re at it, go masturbate to your old avartar.

Your a goddamn fool. I share my diffrence of opinon and you lash out at me thinking your "cool" by doing so. JUST LIKE YOU DID THE FIRST TIME AROUND.
I don\'t recall you ever making me look like an ass. I recall you blowing one of my statements up and turning it into your own flame me thread.
Your the kid watchdog, that thread you\'re referring to proves this point. You think you\'re big shit in these debate forums. You\'re just a peon. REMEMBER THAT, KID!
Once again you have ruined a thread with mindless bashing of another member. Who looks like the ass now?.
You\'ll be the first one I kick ;)

Watchdog you are the biggest tool on the forums. STFU
Sammy get HALO. I\'m still playin that game and I got it back in January. If you\'ve got friends to play multi with it\'s even better.

you guys remind me of soully and I, but i cant stand when mods fight
