PS2, it has good graphics(not good as Xbox&Gamecube though), and has more/better games than the rest. I also think the controllers are better, I hate playing Xbox cause the controllers are so damn big!

Totally true, PS2 is always a good choice because it has good games of every genre. If you're a fan of Action-Adventures and Jump'n Runs the GC is a must-have.
BTW , the best consol ever is the SNES in my opinion. It had the DK Country-games, Super Metroid, Zelda, Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy VI etc.

[GK Punk]

The Geo? Yeah I liked it actually, I had a few good games for it, mostly fighting... but there was this one I cant seem to remember the name of that was an RPG race game, you lived as your race character and would have to race in his motorcycle and stuff, that game was great... there were a few others.. A baseball game...(It was in the future, i think it was called 2010 or something) And a REALLY Fun Bowling game.

[impetus]

No "best" console, but my faves are
1. Dreamcast
distant #2: NES
3. GBA

[Tokka-B]

Krang, gameplay does matter, but when you say PS2 because HOW MANY third party games they have, means absolutely nothing. Quality is so much better than quantity, at least in my opinion...Plus there is such thing as a game that has good graphics AND good gameplay...

That's true Tokka but BECAUSE of the quantity there are a lot of great games on PS2 like Metal Gear Solid 2, Jak & Daxter, Final Fantasy X etc.

[Tokka-B]

I didn't find any form of enjoyment in playing those games.

[Barkworm]

Not even one??? :o
You seem to have an exclusive taste... :D

I doubt you have even played those games after saying that. I think that kind of attitude isn't smart. A Fact I have said to many times already, if you want to play best games, you need all consoles.

[Krang]

Krang, gameplay does matter, but when you say PS2 because HOW MANY third party games they have, means absolutely nothing. Quality is so much better than quantity, at least in my opinion...What I meant in my last post was that the PS2 has alot of good third-party games, not just alot of them. I thought it was pretty obvious that I meant that, but apparently not to some people... The PS2 has quantity and quality.Plus there is such thing as a game that has good graphics AND good gameplay...Yeah, but graphics don't decide whether or not a game is good. There is a such thing as a game that has good gameplay AND graphics that aren't necessarily the best...

[Barkworm]

Except X-Box! :D

[Peanut]

X-Box will be home to some of the greatest games ever made. I can tell you that without a doubt. Look up Fable AKA Project Ego on any of the game sites. You'll be blown away and it's X-Box exclusive. Halo 2 is also looking good. PS2 will soon be useless. FF series is coming out for GC GTA 3 and VC are coming out for X-Box and GC and most likely so will the new ones. MGS has come out for X-Box and soon a new one will come out for GC. Who cares about Jak and Daxter. It sucked. There are tons of better platform games out there. I also agree with Tokka. I had no fun with any of those games either. MGS just had THE stupidest most boring story ever. The cut scenes were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long and the gameplay just couldn't make up what the story and cut scenes took away. FFX is the same. I felt like I was watching a movie and a terrible one at that. As for Jak and Daxter...well as I stated before there are just a ton of better games than it out there.

[Karpo_007]

X-box has great games to, but not enough exclusive ones to give me a reason to get it. Most X-box games im intrested in will come to PC to.

Little off topic, but Week ago I ordered GC controller from dvdboxoffice.com. Nice suprise was, that instead of a Controller I got a Zelda: Wind Waker! Well I still need a new controller, but got new zelda for 25$! I've decided not to complain :lol:.

[Peanut]

LOL! Dude that's crazy! You're pretty lucky. Anyways Fable will be a reason to pick up an X-Box and it won't be going to PC. I've also heard Halo 2 won't be going to PC as Microsoft feel they made a mistake bringing the first to PC because it will bring down sales even lower on the X-Box. Also you have to look at Microsofts newest 2nd Party developer. RARE! They created an amazing collection of games for Nintendo. Now they're on X-Box. That means exclusive non PC games like Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo Kazooie, and some new franchises to be sure.

[impetus]

Karpo, if you complain you may be able to get the controller too....

[Barkworm]

PS2 will soon be useless. FF series is coming out for GC GTA 3 and VC are coming out for X-Box and GC and most likely so will the new ones. MGS has come out for X-Box and soon a new one will come out for GC.
Well, FF is NOT coming for GC (except the "Chronicles spin-off"), FF XII is exclusively developed for PS2. "MGS: Twin Snakes" for GC will be a remake of MGS1, MGS3 is coming out exclusively on PS2. For that "PS2 will be useless"-quote: I don't know if you're aware that Sony sells more consols than Microsoft and Nintendo combined. Anyway, my "Except X-Box"-comment was just a joke, so you should calm down.

[Peanut]

Actually I do know that. I also know that GC has some of the top most wanted games in the world. PS2 is becoming worthless. It has the worst graphics of the 3 consoles and it's first party games are laughable. To me at least. GC has the most impressive line up I've seen for a long time. A line up that absoultley and totally blows PS2 out of the water. Let's take a look: GC - Super Mario 128, F-Zero GX, Pikmin 2, Star Wars Rouge Squadron 3, Metroid Prime 2, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Sonic Adventure DX, Animal Crossing 2, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, FF:CC, MGS:Twin Snake, Pokemon, Wrestlemania XIX, Soul Calibur II (featuring Link), Star Fox Armada, Plus I'm sure there will be mentions of a Super Smash Bros: Melee sequel as well as one for Eternal Darkness and perhaps Wave Race, possibly a Donkey Kong game. Now PS2 - FFXI/X2/XII (this is ridiculous milking of a once great franchise), GTA4, MGS3, Syphon Filter, SOCOM 2, GT4 and maybe Dynasty Tactics 2. The only one on that list I'm looking forward to is SF. X-Box isn't near either of them but makes it up with having the superior version of everyone 3rd party game that comes out. X-Box - Brute Force, Halo 2, Fable, BC, Physchonauts, WWE Raw 2: Ruthless Aggression, Conkers Other Bad Fur Day, Voodo Vince, Perfect Dark Zero, every 3rd party game. Also the reason PS2 is still on top is because PS2 fanboys gave GC and X-Box a bed rep when they came out. So when new gamers or gamers who don't know a good system from a hole in the ground want to buy a console they buy PS2, because everyone comes up with GC is for kids and X-Box has only one good game, plus it's the size of the moon. I'd also like to add the GBA is actually the best selling system.

[Barkworm]

O.k., is there any reason to bash PS2? I certainly didn't give you one. If you don't like MGS and FF that's fine with me, but it seems to me that you DON'T WANT to like PS2 what is quite immature (especially for a moderator). IMO there are not enough interesting games on X-Box (even though Rareware will develop some sweet games, I bet), in your opinion there are more good games on X-Box. Why can't we live peacefully together? :roll:

[Karpo_007]

FF series milking? You could say same about mario and Zelda. Wich makes no sense either. All series are best of their genre.

Like I said before, If you like RPG's, then PS" is the only reasonable choice, if you like platformers, GC is the way to go. I like both So I have both.

About the Zelda, I won't risk it by complaining, they might ask me to change it...

[Peanut]

No it's not that I don't want to like PS2. I own it. I got it when it came out. It was great. Then came the other two. I played PS2 and GC the same amount because what PS2 has over GC is more variety of 3rd party games. I loved both. Then came the X-Box. PS2 became a DVD player and nothing more. That's because X-Box has everything over PS2 in terms of graphics and sound. I know I'll like Syphon Filter it will be worth my money. PS2 needs to come out with more exclusive games other than just 3 series. I never said I didn't like FF. I liked it. Until it developed into a boring interactive movie. I liked MGS until it began showing me 15 minute long cut scenes. I enjoyed GTA 3, but I'll most likely not play another GTA game until they make it worth my while, in other words adding more than a couple vehicles and a snazzy 80's soundtrack. The point I'm making is, to me, and to many many other people I know, PS2's cons outweigh it's pros, especially when you own all three consoles.

[Peanut]

No Karpo you must understand what I'm saying. Mario and Zelda have had sequels. They have come years apart. Mario has stared in many games that aren't platformers (Mario Tennis, Party etc.) What I'm talking about is the fact that a new and hardly different Final Fantasy game is released every year. They are speaking of making 3 games at one time. THAT is milking.

[Karpo_007]

Now, mario games have little difrences. Super mario 1 2[the real SMB2] are very much alike, but each has some new ideas. Same can be said abou Super mmario world. Same with Zelda, Newest Zelda is VERY much like ocarina of time. Mario sunshine also feels very mucl like Mario 64, with ´few new ideas.

Same with Final fantasy. They have diffrent story everytime, and always new ideas. And people like it that way. It's one of the most selling games series.And Final Fantasies come usually after 2 years of previous. Because of X's extremely high sales,and public demand X2 was made.

I like all above series, and I do like the way Final Fantasy is going, but they can't please all.

Now games like GTA I would never play on consoles, it was originally made for PC, and newest games in the series are best played with a good PC.

[impetus]

all I know is castlevania rules but it seems like every game is on a different system....

[Tokka-B]

No Karpo, I just didn't like those games, and yes even if they were made for Nintendo I still wouldn't enjoy them. And Krang it isn't obvious at all that Ps2 has a lot of "good" (as you put it) third party games, simply because there are few games that I would actually pay money for on that system...not everyone likes the ps2 as much as you I am afraid.

Yea, right now Nintendo is easily selling the most in consoles and games now, since they pretty much monopolize the hand-held video games and most people with GBA have GC since they can be compatible in some games. Yea, another great game I can't wait for is Mario Kart...

[Karpo_007]

Nintendo does have the best first party games, but not much more. In the long run, I will probably going to own more PS2 than GC games. There Suikoden, Tales series, Final Fantasy, Xenosaga.... Yes I am RPG fan.

[Karpo_007]

No flaming so far, I hope this doesn't come to that.

[Peanut]

Yes but Karpo you have to realize now that the FF series is working on THREE GAMES AT ONE TIME it is milking the series. Also no matter what anyone says Nintendo will always have the best first party games. ALWAYS. There is no possible way PS2 or X-Box will take over in that area. Of course I enjoy RPG's, obviously not as much as you. I don't think I can stand to play more than one mind numbing RPG a year. I get tired of fighting the same battles with constant creatures and what not. I think the best RPG I've played lately was Golden Sun. I haven't decided on the RPG I'll play this year. Any suggestions?

[Raven]

No flaming so far, I hope this doesn't come to that.

dont worry because any one that does I'll beat the living
**** out of them

I mean it so dont even bother

I watch over this forum like a ninja
yes

[DarthRaphael]

I'll start off by saying that I'm a long-time, die-hard Nintendo fan.

The best console made was the SNES. It really kicked life into home consoles, and killed Sega at every turn.

Favorite games were Super Mario Kart and Secret of Mana.

I owned a PS1, but sold it. Got boring after a while. I preferred my N64.

I own a GC but don't play console or PC games much. I'm still waiting for the next Mario Kart game to be released.

I have to give the X-box a big :tthumbsu: for using PC hardware. It is so mod-able and easy to port games to. I know of several people with X-boxes that have 120G hard drives and mod chips. Go rent a game, copy it to the HD, and play all you want. Cool stuff.

[Dane E5R]

XBox and Dreamcast.

[Tokka-B]

LOL DR!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

If I were an X-box fan I would give the pc hardware a thumbs down for that very same reason. Why? No sales for the actual game. That is EXACTLY what happened to DC and is what will happen to the X-box for making a PC instead of a console... Being a GC fan, I will as well give it a thumbs up approval! :lol: So you got that X-box fans? Go rent your games and copy, then you will never have to pay again!! :lol: :lol:

Anyway, MarioKart was a GREAT game, the best racing game by far. I have beaten top times on the 64 and hope to relive that fun on the GC soon...this time it will be amazing...

Karpo, I do like RPG's, it is just that I have no need for like 10 a year, I can do with 2 at most. I like my Phantasy Star Online just the way it is... :)

[Peanut]

X-Box won't fail Tokka. Is there really a need to be an immature fanboy?

[Tokka-B]

How have I been immature...?? I am a bit confused now. :-? Yes, I am a Nintendo fan, is that some kind of horrible thing? Have I done anything yet to rub it in everyone's face that Nintendo is better? I was just stating an observation from something DR has said...as far as I know at least.

[Peanut]

Tokka I'm with you on that. I'm KNOW Nintendo is the best I'm a huge fan of Nintendo. I own every Nintendo console to this day. What I'm saying is don't be so negative towards other companies. I too at one time hated
X-Box just because I thought it was worthless and would turn out to be another Dreamcast. Then I realized I was being blind to what the system was really like all because I was a loyal fan of Nintendo. What I'm saying is it's immature to say a system will fail just because you don't like it. Piracy is much higher on the PS2 than with the X-Box as X-Box chips are much more pricey. If PS2 and PS1 especially never and haven't floundered then neither will the X-Box.

[Tokka-B]

Argh, then you missed my point. I was only saying they would fail because of the chips and cd burning and whatnot, not because I don't like it. There is less piracy available for the Ps2, a Pc you can do much more with. And Sony hasn't has many problems with piracy anyway, as Nintendo has in the past, hence why we have mini-discs (yay!). Once the piracy becomes moer mainstream and evident, they will try and do something to stop it...when we see companies trying desperately to stop piracy, you know they are failing, and that is usually when they come out with a new system...

[Peanut]

Hmm. Now that I re-read your post I can see your point. Forgive me for not getting the point directly. Anyways I'm glad Nintendo decided to go with the mini-discs althought movies look a little less sharper because of compression I still feel it's the best way to go.

[impetus]

I own every Nintendo console to this day.
cool - have you got the virtual boy too? Hard to find these days
I too at one time hated X-Box just because I thought it was worthless and would turn out to be another Dreamcast. ain't nothing wrong with that! I luv my Dreamcast! :D

[Peanut]

Yes at one point in time I did own a Virtual Boy. It gave me headaches whenever I played it though. Plus there were what 3 or 4 games? Indeed it's true Dreamcast was very good. What I meant was in the way of disappearing after only a short time.

[impetus]

oh, OK - gotcha! I forgot you have a Knuckles avatar. :)

http://www.crazylandforums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3786&highlight=

I don't think you'll get very far on the DC for GC or PS2.

[Krang]

And Krang it isn't obvious at all that Ps2 has a lot of "good" (as you put it) third party games, simply because there are few games that I would actually pay money for on that system...not everyone likes the ps2 as much as you I am afraid.That's just your opinion, though, not the opinion of the majority of video game fans. If the PS2 was as bad as you say it is, it wouldn't still sell the best of the 3 consoles. And I'd say there are alot of people who like the PS2 as much as me based on how well the games sell.

BTW, everyone, please avoid bashing any video game system. Feel free to discuss why you think your favorite system is better or even why you don't like a particular system, but bashing only causes arguments and flame wars. Michaelangelo, as a moderator, you're supposed to be setting a good example for the other members instead of posting comments like "PS2 will soon be useless." Please respect other people's opinions instead of acting like an immature X-Box fanboy. Sorry for singling you out, but you're the one who has been doing most of the bashing.

The best console made was the SNES. It really kicked life into home consoles, and killed Sega at every turn.Hey, the SNES and Genesis sold about evenly up until they both died out. :P

[Karpo_007]

I to own all Nintendo consoles, except Virtualboy or GBC. BEst NIntendo console of all time is defiently SNES. N64 was ok to, but only one real mario game? GC might be the second best nintendo console, but again lacks my favorite genre, RPG's... Well I boought it mostly for mario and Zelda games. Sad thing is that unlike some peope here said, it isn't selling well. I hope the new Zelda got the numbers up...

[Peanut]

I'm ashamed. I see now how those posts look. I apologize. I wasn't bashing. I love the PS2. I love all my consoles. I was just stating the obvious that the PS2 is slowly becoming more and more obsolete(sp?) when it comes to the other systems performance. Karpo the new Zelda (according to IGN) broke all time PRE-SELL records, meaning that it had sold more before it was released than many other games that came out on the next gen consoles. Plus there are still the people who bought it that didn't pre-order. I think I saw some numbers somewhere that stated because of Zelda GC sales were up 22%. Plus I've heard the recent buy the system and get one of 5 games (MP, RE, MP4, SFA, or recently Zelda) has increased the sales dramatically. The only system not selling extremly well is the X-Box which I've heard is on the verge of death in Japan.

[impetus]

I'm sure the free OOT helped out there. :lol:

[Karpo_007]

Yes, the bonus disc was a very smart move from nintendo. I didn't get one, but I have it for my N64 so don't really need it. Windwaker seems very good, but best Zelda game of all time is Alink to the past, no doubt about it.

[Tokka-B]

Yea, that is true, when we talk about which system is selling most, we must include systems from all nations that sell them, not just the U.S. Another problem with the X-box was that is was made by Microsoft, I know a LOT of people in this and other countries who can't stand Microsoft and are desperately trying not to allow Bill Gates to have another monopoly. Also the sales for GC games aren't quite as important as the sales for Ps2 games, much money gained from GBA is used to create GC games as well.

[Karpo_007]

True, Nintendo makes much more money with GBA than GC, It still isn't selling as good as PS2. Hopefully Future titles like Mario Kart will increase the sales. I would want to see a second real mario game on the system to, I was disapointed when N64 didn't.

PS2 has the highest sales, beacuse of PSX. It has sold so much, than when people start thinking about a second console they think that PS2 is a natrual choice. I wont start saying one console is better than the other, I play with both.

[Peanut]

Karpo good news is Shiggy recently announced the first demo used to show GC's power at E3 is now becoming the offical name of the new mario game. Mario 128. Get it. Mario 64. Mario 128. Pretty cool.

[Tokka-B]

Well, that is because it is 128 bit, as the Mario 64 was 64 bit...

[Karpo_007]

Sounds good.

[Tokka-B]

Yea, another Mario platformer would be nice, I just want some online fighting games, (preferably a new ssb)

[Peanut]

DOA has announced a new online game, but it will probably suck...because it's DOA. It will probably end up being more of an extreme beach soccer game rather than a fighter.

[Tokka-B]

DOA......??

[Leo656]

"Dead Or Alive", a fighting game series mostly reknowned for having female characters who are extremely "well-endowed". It spawned a spin-off early this year for XBox, "Dead Or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball", which was basically a game about the female characters cavorting on a beach with very little actual volleyballing being done.

[impetus]

Zelda is not a RPG but an Action-Adventure game.

[Leo656]

No, it's not a good attitude, and yes it's biased,But I suck at them, and a great many of them are way too complicated for me to learn how to play, so I hate 'em. That doesn't mean I dislike the genre or anything, I mean fighting games almost single-handedly revived the arcades in the early 1990s, so they get mad respect from me. I'm just no good at them, so I hate 'em. :D

[Barkworm]

Believe me Leo, I totally understand what you're saying. :D

leo, how about the Capcom fighters (like Street Fighter, etc)? They're pretty easy to handle...

[Leo656]

Funny story: One of the first times I played SF2, my friend was getting incredibly pissed because he could NOT beat Bison no matter what he did or who he played as. He'd done it before, many times, I'd seen it, but for some reason he just couldn't get it done this one day. So, out of frustration, he gave me the controller and was like "man, screw this," fully expecting me to get killed. Well, I randomly picked Chun Li and kicked Bison's ass in two straight rounds. My friend was less than thrilled.

But yeah the SF games and I think it was Tekken 3 are the only fighting games I've ever been very good at, and MK 1 and 2 to a lesser extent. I actually started playing SF2 back before it got huge, when it first came out they had it in a few Burger Kings and stuff around here, back when fast food places were cool enough to have arcade games. But I tried playing one of the new ones and I was in the Training mode, and I saw that one of the throws/suplexes was like "forward, back, down/forward, high punch, low punch, back" or something, and I just gave up. I'll stick to wrestling games, where Chris Benoit's Multiple German Suplex is as simple as "up and O behind a groggy opponent". :D
