i rented DOA2 and never bought it, it\'s nice to look at but a very stupid gameplay system. while soul calibar was so much better in everyway. but i have to admit those girls look nice in DOA2 that\'s a fact. but i don\'t play fighting games just to watch some ass, i play it for the gameplay and fun of it, and soul calibar is a lot more fun. for example, in DOA2 sometimes ( a lot actually ) i get beaten by novice people who are just triger happy. while in Soul Calibar, people have to think very hard and time their moves to beat me. also the same stuff applies when playing against the computer.
Dwarrior, all of what you said i used to say as well about the DC in 1999. and i ended up buying the DC afterall, and actually enjoyed it. even though the DC died at the end as i predicted, but sometimes it\'s just nice to enjoy what\'s available if you open your mind and be normal... not a fanboy.
You said that you are still waiting for a good game on PS2, and that really means you haven\'t really played any of the good PS2 games, which means you propably don\'t know what you are talking about. i predict you are an FPS fan who just likes to play PC games from your tone. what kinds of games do you like? ( ahh.. it\'s not worth it i know .. Dwarrior is a hopless case ).
Dwarrior, what ever type of game you like , it\'s available today in some form on PS2. that\'s why the PS2 is really attracting the masses of people. obviosly PS2 has many advantages over x-box/game-cube, such as 1 year ahead in the market and the success of the PSX but i like to think of it more than this:
1) tecnically i think the PS2 is more supperior than x-box. M$ has managed to make people think Mhz means everything, except that it does not. and aretecture is more important. x-box has an old arcetecture, and PS2 has a next-generation archetecture.
2) PS2 has Sony 1st party games such as GT3. can you say GT3 is a bad game?? it\'s easily the best racing game that has ever graced earth. did you bother to look at the car models?
3) PS2 has square, developing FFX, did you see the latest fotage of that game? did you download the videos? please download them and tell me your un-biazed opinuin. they say it even looks better than MGS2.
4) PS2 has Namco with Ace Combat 4, Tekkin4, Ridge Racer6, Namco Vs Sega planed as well.
5) PS2 has konami, which makes MGS2, although it\'s on the x-box as well, but the x-box is getting it after the PS2 ( at least the Japaneze version ) so it is just being ported to the x-box. same for silent hill2 it will come to PS2 first then get ported to PS2. ( x-box = port platform nothing more ).
6) PS2 has Sega, developing Virtua fighter 4, did you see the aracde version of VF3? VF4 is even better on PS2.
7) PS2 has already 10 M market share. the only reason people are developing games for the x-box now is because M$ is really bribing them to do so, but they would prefer to be focusing on the more successfull PS2 platform.
8) by march 2002 PS2 will have 20M units , how can X-box then be competing with that? how can x-box sell more games if they have less systems on the market? it is not possible. PS2 can only increase, people who think PS2 would die like the dreamcast or saturn are just nuts!! it\'s not going to hapen, stop dreaming. but if you think x-box can do a good job and come second place or third place after nintindo with a decent market share then i say this is realistic, but not to own the gaming market.. this is if the x-box is not going to fail misrably in 2002 and die in shame.
