Microsoft (XBOX) Sucks....BIG TIME!!!
« on: May 02, 2001, 06:29:15 AM »
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and want to unsubscribe from this newsletter, then you\'re probably also perfectly satisfied playing on those other outdated, under whelming video toys currently on the market.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.
A word of advice:

In the working world there is only two ships that sink: 1.) a Battle ship, and 2.) Partnership

"Rather outdated" is not altogether true, but "underwhelming" is.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.

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:

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.

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:

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).
