Xbox.. or Gamecube.... which one to buy..?
« on: November 11, 2001, 08:38:27 AM »
It seems as though there are a lot of games on both platforms that I really would enjoy.  However, I already own a Ps2, and at a price of 199.99, at this point, I seem to want to buy a GC more than an Xbox.  Please give me some opinions on both of these systems and why I should buy one or the other.... HOWEVER I DONT WANT A FLAME WAR.... this is just a post to see what the opinions of other gamers are... a flame war is unnecessary.  Try not to argue... Thanks.

Alright, For starters GC and Xbox are both great consoles right now. It all depends on what types of games you like. You said you might want a Gamecube more than an Xbox, I say go with a GC than.

If you really like Platformers, Survival Horrors, Adventures than go ahead a pick up a Gamecube. Most of the games will be around those genres.

If you like FPS get an Xbox and Halo (I played a little of it and it\'s  good). Also you said you have a PS2, Xbox is very similar to the PS2 both have the same types of genres.

Nowadays developers aren\'t keeping much exclusives any more(except for the first-party developers), so whatever system you get, your sure to have a great time.

If you can\'t decide which one to get, than stick with your PS2. It has plenty of good games. DMC, J&D, MGS2, GTA3, GT3, ICO, FFX. These are experinces you can\'t get on any other systems this year.

If you already have a PS2, then I would say get a Gamecube. The PS2 and the Xbox are going to be very similar. A lot of the AAA games coming to the Xbox will already be on the PS2. If I were you, I\'d get a GC for the exclusives.

Well after trying both, the GC controll is excellent (except for that tiny and useless dpad).

No one can help you with your decision, really because it is a matter of taste.

Personally, after witnessing the n64 debacle, and a pretty lackluster launch, the GC is off my radar right now.  You could name titles like Mario, Metroid and Zelda, but I was seriously underwhelmed with the N64 and N\'s first party titles (after launch).  I\'m going to wait and see (and probably never own that cute little purple box--man is it small!!).

The xbox has a few titles that interest me with Halo leading the way.  If it weren\'t for Halo I\'m not sure I\'d be that psyched for the xbox.  DOA3 looks good, but I do prefer 2d fighters (although if I get an xbox I\'ll eventually get it).  Other than that, I\'d pick up NHL 2002 (I know it\'s for every system).

For me, PC gaming is a wonderful thing--deep, meaningful and serious.  That\'s why the xbox is a breath of fresh air for me.  Console game are console games--I\'ve been playing them since Atari 2600, but the xbox is a shift in perspective, sure it\'ll have console-ish games and I\'ll play a great number of them, but why not get the best of both?  Those are my views.

Definitely an Xbox

Gamecube is primarily those who actully like Nintendo 1st party games


Xbox has qay more support and is more powerful. 2nd and 3rd gen Xbox games will be well worth it and will easily make it a better console then the lamepube

cause he\'s an assshole who likes to act like one.

He was even given a longer leash then we would\'ve given most anyone else he was banned once and re-enstated then within a day decided to tell someone on the main forum to fu_k-off
