gantrules Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Less than two weeks to go..... man, are you guys as excited as I am! I'm really sick of Madden and MVP Baseball.

Now, to me, that's not a problem. I buy three video games every year: The Current Madden, The Current NHL, and more recently GTA. I cant wait.

gantrules Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 5 times bigger than Vice City.....holy crap. I'm right there with you...I typically rent unless it's something I know I'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I'm not that big on Playstation games,but my favorite right now is Midnight Club II, got it used from Blockbuster. Lots of fun, and able to jump right in without having to know a million button combinations or having to read any manuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 No GTA:SA for me for a year until it comes out on X-box. Oh well at least there's Halo 2 to fall back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Yep I won't be able to get it until it comes out on XBox, which is fine with me actually, the graphics will be better and the game will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Man, those games are too time consuming. I got the $50 package on Xbox with III and Vice City about a year ago, and I've barely played them. After winning back to back SB's in 2k5, i think it's time to start a hockey season. If anybody has played ESPN hockey, what difficulty do you play on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 and the game will be better. 69756[/snapback] graphics better? most likely? game better? how? I wouldnt wait a year if i didnt have PS2. I would buy PS2. THe game is that sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 My favorite thing about the X-box is no damn memory cards. Plus GTA is much better with the faster load times of the X-box. I really can't wait to play this game though. I'll probably weaken and get it for PS2 before too long. Maybe I can at least wait until it goes down in price a bit.

gantrules Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 I don't really understand the thinking that Xbox is so much better if you have to wait another YEAR for the best new releases.... I love my PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bumped up the difficulty to Pro, but only managed 1 goal in two games. I guess I need to practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my PS2. 69765[/snapback] I don't really like to wait, but I'm not a GTA junkie either. That's about the only game XBox owners have to wait for. Once it comes out it will be better then the PS2 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like playing online games on PS2 is free, not on XBox. XBox's harddrive is nice though. I will admit, overall i like XBox better. But, i dont like it enough to make me wait a year to get this game... no !@#$ way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 If they have another year to tweak it I don't doubt it. I wouldn't consider myself a junkie....I just enjoy well made, well scripted games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Like playing online games on PS2 is free, not on XBox. I'm getting tired of reading this argument. Yes, you have to pay a whopping $50/year. However, everyone is online via broadband (less lag), there's dedicated servers, you have voice chat while you're playing. It's not as simple as 'PS2 online is free." The experience online is nowhere near the same. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 I've never had a problem playing PS2 online.....play both Madden and MVP. And I don't have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Stop this childish debate. Can we please agree to stop validating our own $200 purchases? Besides, everyone knows Xbox is the best. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Lol Buff.... I've went through two PS2...so it's more like $300.00 for the first one b/c I bought it when it came out and $150 for the second. And it came with the online adapter.

Yes, you have to pay a whopping $50/year. 69776[/snapback] $50 a year is exactly $50 more than what I pay to play on PS2. And as far as connection speed? If someone is dumb enough to try on dial up, the system makes you aware of that, and no one plays against them. And you can also use headsets. I own both systems, but only play PS2 online. My friends has an XBOX and plays SoCom online. Sweet game, but he had to pay $50 to play online. Sure, its only $50, but still, its $50 you shouldnt have to spend. Like I said, I think overall, XBox has a slight edge, but there are negatives to both, XBox's being having to pay for "XBox Live". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
