I have subscribed to the Xbox Newsletter just to stay on top of things and eventually received my first newsletter. I read all the news bits but when I reached the bottom of the newsletter I was shocked. I saw the following:
"If you\'re not interested in staying up on Xbox news, and want to unsubscribe from this newsletter, then you\'re probably also perfectly satisfied playing on those other outdated, under whelming video toys currently on the market. We agree, this newsletter just isn\'t for you. Click here to unsubscribe."
WHAT THE HELL!!!...is this the way to tell PS2 (and Dreamcast) owners to piss off?!!! If that is so then Microsoft can get stuffed! I have already unsubscribed and don\'t want to see Xbox or anything Microsoft related near me! Microsoft makes me sick....I\'ll stick to my good old friend Sony.

hahaha!! That is hilarious!! You guys take stuff way too seriously, sometimes!

"Rather outdated" is not altogether true, but "underwhelming" is. MGS2, GT3, Onimusha, ZOE, and FFX are pretty much the only games worth getting, you know. I don\'t see spades of triple AAA games...yet. So, what Microsoft said is partly true. Besides, learn to take things tongue in cheek- at least Microsoft has got a sense of humor.
-
It was a joke. Lighten up.
-
Haha, I think it was funny. :)
-
Heh heh,these kind of things crack me up.Like those Sega ads when Sony had trouble making enough PS.2\'s
-
actually I hate bull**** like that
State your case prove your point but shut up about the competition with rediculous comments like this
-
That\'s the kind of thing they fell safe about putting in their newsletter, cause probably most of the subscribers are quite "into" the box. Don\'t worry about it... I\'m sure any of the companies would throw in a bit o\' irritating put-downish crap whenever they can.
And finally:
"Rather outdated" is not altogether true, but "underwhelming" is. MGS2, GT3, Onimusha, ZOE, and FFX are pretty much the only games worth getting, you know
Yeah - and they are all going to be out by the time the Xbox is released. Not to mention the games coming out in the future which make your "AAA" list. I have seen only 1 game that interests me even half so much on the Xbox. Can you guess what that game is?

lol your joking rite
xbox has Halo, Medal Of Honor, WWF raw, Nfl Fever Azurik, Doa3, New Legends, Jet set radio, MechworrierX, Tony hawK 2X, Malice, Abe, Mgs X, Max Payne, EA sports, Visual Concepts, Black & white, Amped, Breed, and so many more titles that I can\'t name them all.
This will be the best launch a console has ever had to date.
How many good ps2 titles where there at the launch of ps2?????? Ummm drumm role.......TTT, DOA2HC, SSX, MADDEN,........what else??
You probally don\'t even know a lot of games that have been announced for xbox. At least give something a chance before righting it off. That is the problem with being bias for a certain system . PS2 did not gives a great selection of quality games at launch. We had a handful of games that where worth the purchase to select from. So now around the time of xbox we have some Awesome games coming out.
So let the truth be told, No console is no god. We had crap at first, but now ps2 is given us the goods. So now it microsoft turn. And we will wait and see what they gives us. So far with the games that have been announced it looks good.
-
Pathetic!
-
hey, hey, be nice, ps2 had the best launch linup of any console to date, the most amount of games at launch, so who are you kidding? x box has to TOP the release that sony did, and most of those games announced are already on pc, or will be, i want some new fun games, like mgs2 which will rock. period. GT3 looks to be the ultimate racing game of all time. I like new and interesting games , halo is a pc port, and it is one of the 2 big must have games at launch, oddysee and halo. that does not impress me. one pc port, and one game not many know alot about, this is oddworld inhabitants first time doing 3d, i hope it does good, but let it be known they are lazy developers.
i think x box will place 2nd because let it be known that sony has sold MORE THAN 10.24 million units thats a 10 million userbase. is that bigger than dreamcast yet?
also, if you doubt ps2\'s power, check out the gt3 movie, its on ign right now.
:D :D :smokin:

MOST of these games are or will be on PC, eh?
nah.
plus the game to end all games... Panzer Dragoon seqeul! and other Sega games!

yeah , um halo, black and white, medal of honor, the mech warrior and to finish it off, THERE IS NO MGSX! IT HAS NEVER BEEN CONFIRMED!!! thats what ive heard, if it has, show me a link plz.
all i know is that i read an article with quotes from the devlopers saying that there will be and is no mgs coming to x box.
-
Seriously, most people are ALREADY playing Black and White.. why wait and pay more to have it on Xbox, when you can have it now for less than the Xbox version will cost (Assuming they stick to the standard console cart - PC game ratio)?!?
Because it\'s so easy to port from Xbox to PC I have a feeling that almost all of their games will end up on PC... Cheaper (especially if I don\'t buy and Xbox) and better running (once I upgrade my vcard).
MGS X - like he said... show me a link. Besides, I\'ll still be playing the EXCLUSIVES on PS2 then... MGS2, GT3, and FFX (FFX will probably port to PC, but it\'ll take forever).
-
yes, someone who has been enlightened. ill try and find that article with the developers saying it wont go to x box!!
i say if you want the games, over 300 have been announced for ps2 and the only pc port i see is black and white, but ya know i dont really like it, ill borrow it from a friend for a month, beat it, then give it back.
if you like good games, stay with ps2, june will be great, TWISTED METAL BLACK AND GT3 BABY!!
oh yeah, i as of now i have no backup on that mgsx thing, ill find it, i know its out there.....

This will be the best launch a console has ever had to date.
Microsoft can "announce" anything they want, but actually getting the developers to complete everything prior to the launch date is another matter. Your announcement that XBox\'s launch will be better than PS2\'s launch carries about as much weight as Bill Gate\'s many announcements.

You are so stupid. Listen up mgsx has already been confirmed to hit xbox. It will not be a launch but it will come out for xbox some time around 2002. It will be a second wave title just like mgs2 was for ps2.
Too the idiot that said sony had the best launch of any console needs to shoot himself in the foot. That has to be dumbest comment ever mentioned on this forum. I don\'t even think N-Player would have the balls to say something like that. You can only name 4 or five decent ps2 games at launch. There may have been 16 titles but only a handful of them were worth the price tag on the games. Thus why there were such low games sales.
And third to simply say those games will come out on pc is the lamest excuse anyone could have come up with. And a idiotic one at that. Which games are you talking about name some. What Halo has been canned for pc, only other one I know that would be on pc is mechworrier the rest are from third party developers. I.E THQ, EA, ACCLAIM, sega, and so on. So I have no clue why some of you would shout out and say those comments unless you have nothing else that can back up any of the actuation your throwing out.
And fourth being sony bias is simply stupid. There is nothing wrong with liking a certain system, but being complete bias to everything else and making up standards on other consoles. When the things your saying are clearly Identical to everything that has happen with ps2.
And my last point is clearly the first wave of ps2 clearly where not up to par. And yes the second wave games are looking good, but most of you that are going around saying things about xbox have no idea what your saying. You know nothing about the console or the games that are coming out. You throw out false actuation and make double standards.

Well said XBOX, well said. To many morons here with there heads up SONY\'S ASS.
PS. XBOX Halo has not been canned for the pc, they intend to complete the pc version around to 5 to 7 months after the xbox\'s version.

well to be fair there a quite a few morons with their heads up Microsofts ass just as well.
but no matter were you go (Especially IGN forums) you\'re gonna have groups of people who refuse to acknowledge or are going to hate something for any reason they can dream up.

All the other guy wants is a link. I\'m willing to admit I\'m wrong that MGS X won\'t come to the Box - just show me a link.

IGN forums are the absolute worst, I have never seen such chaos take place. I don\'t know why people even bother to go to the IGN forums, I myself haven\'t been there for over 14 months

Well your wrong and here is your link http://www.msxbox.com/php/full_post.php3?id=1007

nice link. Where\'s the part where it says that he will make MGS X?
EDIT:
Well, I did my own searching on the site, and yes, it says metal gear will be dev\'d for the box. I don\'t know how much I trust an MS site pre-release PR site, but until someone shows me a link proving otherwise, I guess you are right.
EDIT AGAIN:
I did just check KONAMI\'s site, and they show no releases for the XBOX at any time in the future in either Japan or the USA. I\'ll keep checking their site, but they do show their future releases for PS2, so if I can\'t find any Xbox info there, I\'m going to have to flip flop again and I\'ll assume that the MGSX thing is just MS PR.

Please tell me your just acting. Nobody is this nieve. Listen up I will explain this too you as simple as it can get. The interview was from msnbc. And is simply states that MGS is coming too xbox. Everybody who is anyone already knows that MGSX has been said to be coming to xbox. But what nobody knows it which Mgs it will be. OMG anyone who has been following xbox or the gaming industry for the past 6 months knows that mgsx is coming to xbox. But we don\'t in what forum of mgs it will be. Only time will tell. And there is no use of searching the konami web site, because it is not set for release any time soon. We don\'t even no what the game will be about yet.

OIC - I thought all this time we were talking, as you said, about releases... but now that we\'re talking about the long-term theoretical future, well, PS2 will have just as impressive games...

Yes but I never said look for these titles at launch. I just mentioned titles that are being developed for xbox. Well MGSX is going to come out for xbox we just have no clue when it will be out. Konami already confirmed it. So it not like I am talking theoreticaly because this titles is coming out. And has been confirmed to come out just don\'t know when.
-
Well, the xbox isn\'t for me neways, if I do end up buying one, it won\'t be this year - after all I\'m strapped for cash, and can barely afford MGS2/FFX/GT3. We\'ll have to see what kind of exclusives it can get in it\'s first 5-6 months (and I mean non PC exclusives).
I\'ll keep an open mind, but you really should remember that lots of games get cancelled/changed before release - even half done games sometimes.
-
People who hate Xbox and loves Sony (or the other way around for that matter), I have a newflash for you. You\'re just as narrowminded, ignorant and fanboyish as those "Xbox/GC/whatever fanboys" you seem to hate so much. Why don\'t you all pull your heads out of your asses and talk about how great a time it is to be a gamer? No no, you have to bash Xbox in order to feel good it seems. Why? Can\'t PS2 stand on it\'s own without putting down other consoles? Well, it should and it can - but it\'s not the \'be all, end all\' console. Neither is Xbox or GC. But even if you can only afford one console or whatnot, doesn\'t mean you should automatically hate everything else - that is just plain stupid, ignorant and pathetic. That\'s like saying "I could only afford a Honda Civic, but it\'s the best car in the world! Porsche\'s suck anyway!". The Honda is still a very nice car, but does that make the Porsche bad? HELL NO! Stop whining and get your act together.

That thread heading sounds like a bash if ever I heard one, but what would I know. I cant even be bothered reading the posts.
Why am I replying to this?

Samwise and the others!
What do you expect?
This is a PS2 forum. (if nothing has changed!)
If all the DC, XBOX and Nintendo fans want to talk to someone who like their consoles, this is NOT the best place!
Avvy: Funny :)
You own a Honda?
I do :)
Honda Accord Aerodeck 1988 :)

For the record, the evil entity of pure evil, known as me, does not really own a Honda. :) Or a car for that matter. So I guess I struck Sammy with lighting for no reason.... Ah whell.... Sowwy Sammy.

I expect Sony fans to have a brain. Why hate something just because you like another thing? Sure, you can like PS2. But why automatically hate/bash/trash Xbox? It just makes PS2 fanboys seem scared and inferior. Be a man, be a gamer, even if you don\'t intend to spend money on all consoles. But then again, feel free to stay in fanboy land if you wish.
Awy: Don\'t worry, I don\'t mind being struck by lightning. It makes me giggle. :)

um yeah i didnt bash x box at all. i just said that mgsx has not been confirmed, and i stand by it. all the news sources on the net and developer sites say nothing about a mgs for x box. most of then say there is no mgsx. i read an article with the devloper saying that they are not puting mgs2 on x box!!! although that article has been deleted, i can not back myself up. so that is what ive heard.
find a site with the confermation of the game and i will believe its coming, not the link you gave before, a link which says that MGS2 or whatever MGS is going to x box. as a game. yeah a real game.
if you give me a link with that i will believe you! ok? i just hate rumors.because most of the time they are false.:D

Well, in an interview with Hideo Kojima he talked about how they wouldn\'t start on MSGX before MGS2 was done. Can\'t really get any more unofficially official then. I would be very, very surprised if it didn\'t come to Xbox. It is coming - but PS2 fans still get MGS2 so there\'s no need to get angry. Still, wouldn\'t a true MGS fan play it for the game, not for what console it\'s on? I know I would. The Metal Gear series didn\'t originate on PSX either...
-
oh, interesting, i thought that he sayd that he will not be working on one for x box. i dont think i read it fully so i trust you. thx man i stand corrected!
-
I might be ½ fanboy :D
I dislike Xbox. (dont get me started! Then I would have even more enemies on the forum!)
Im looking forward to see what GC has to offer. But Im not getting one.
Im all in for the PS2 now!
And Sam, why would I feel inferior?
I just hate when Xbox gays come to the forum, yelling "PS2 is gonna DIE!" XBOX RULEZ! and so on.
Damn nut suckers!

EDIT: Im sorry if there are missing some "B" at some places. The button is not working so well. I must hit it with a 2 ton force to make it work ;)

If you hate XB, and haven\'t tried it/given it a chance. And hating a system you haven\'t given a try is the mark of a fanboy. While I am critical of PS2 often, it\'s only based on actually trying, and being dissatisfied with something. You can call me a fanboy, but I have stated clearly, I do not hate PS2, while you quite clearly state that you hate XB. One of us is a fanboy, and one is not. Can you figure out who? :D
I hope you don\'t include me in your \'Xbox gays\' because I never said PS2 will die, and I never sucked any \'nuts\'.
Why am I replying here to you? I\'m taking your second comment as including me, as we\'ve had some \'words\' lately.
-
errr... if you didn\'t put words into his mouth, maybe your reply would make more sense Ethugg. Go read his post again, he doesn\'t hate the box.

First off, there\'s no need to call anyone \'gay\' or nut suckers.
Secondly, nobody is yelling "PS2 is gonna DIE!" or anything like that. I think you\'re being just a tad paranoid here - because that\'s never gonna happen. PS2 is here whether or not people (people meaning Xbox-fanboys) like it. It\'s an ok machine, but it\'s not the \'be all, end all\' console. Some people here are just stating why they think PS2 is technically inferior to Xbox or why they might prefer Xbox/GC over PS2 (not that it\'s \'gonna die\' or \'XBOX RULEZ\'. The fanboys that says that are just as bad as those who hate every PS2 competition). And trust me Fast, it does make you seem inferior when you\'re dragging yourself to that level. Nobody here has tried the final Xbox yet, so we can\'t really say that it\'s the best thing since sliced bread, nor that is sucks donkey nuts. But I truely think it\'s moronic not to give it a chance and just automatically dislike/hate it. Sure, you can like PS2. Sure you can think it\'s the best machine. But is that really gonna blind you and keep you from enjoying other machines as well? If so, then you\'re not a gamer. Then you\'re are nothing but a narrowminded fanboy.

That is the entire point nobody is yelling ps2 sucks and ps2 is gonna die. All I did is state good games that are coming to xbox. And immediately you started bashing xbox. And that my friend would seem kind of inferior. Because how can you say you don\'t like something you have not even tried? That is called being bias and foolish and what everyone calls a fanboy

Uhhhh, I put no words in anyones mouth. He has stated not only in what I quoted, but in other threads, that he hates, or \'dislikes\', XB.

That is pretty damn funny. :laughing:
Lighten up, don\'t take jokes so serious.
Sony done the same thing with Crash. Anyone remember Crash goin\' to the Nintendo building and makin\' fun of Mario?
Sega done it with Nintendo..
"Sega does what Nintendon\'t"
Sega done it with the PS2 shortage....
so on and so on.

whats wrong with being a fanboy?

the bad thing about being a fanboy is that you are "jaded" :D
i always liked that song.
-
Totally agree!
-
Hey now, don\'t throw jaded gamers in with fanboys. They are 2 very different things.... The problem with being a fanboy is your narrow-minded. In comparison, the \'problem\' with being jaded is your just pessimistic.
-
We just got about 4 new fanboys and they are REALLY pissing me off. They bash Xbox and Gamecube all the time. This is a Ps2/gaming forum. Not a PS2Fanboy/Hate everything else forum! dammit!!! We\'ll get a ****load of fanboys when Xbox and GC come out. We\'ll get threads like "GC has kiddie games!" **** **** **** ****ity **** **** ****. This is is ****ing bull **** you ****ing mother ****ers. We gotta let those mother ****ers in here show them what we\'re doin in here. the ****ers.
-
hey animal, calm down a little... i think e3 has alot of people on the edge..... they are afraid, and they want to defend their console to the extreme...
i hope it calms down sometime soon..:)
no use swearing when you cant say it :D
-
Oh, I don\'t know, that post was pretty funny to read. Reminds me of Happy Gilmore\'s first rant on TV when he misses the ball. Gawd, I loved that movie.
It\'ll escalate a bit during E3, then it\'ll peter off for a while, when the hype is off.

Then the launches will get people freaked out again and then the first hardware failures will pop-up and the first bad games will be released etc. etc.
