Which Is Better

Asdfghjkl · Master Mage

Halo or Halo 2?

Personally, I think that Halo is better, but I also really like Halo 2.

sorry i moved it
its just yours wasnt working

... neither?

The XBox eats your soul. Instead of wasting your time with the soul-eating system you should read Sluggy Freelance (http://www.sluggy.com).

No, serioulsy, as far as I am concerned anything for the XBox is evil. The system is strictly a one-game system (the only reason anyone I've spoken to about it has bought it was strictly for Halo) and while there are a few half-way decent games for it they aren't well known and are only found in a disused lavatory with a sign saying "Beware of Leopard" in the basement of City Hall.

EDIT- Grammar. Was bugging me, hush.

EDIT2- Had to fix Sluggy's web address.

Hey you, you STole my topic, there WILL be retribution.

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

Okay, the X-Box is arguably the best system every made. Let's say it-HARD DRIVE. This spawned the no memory card needed bit of today's consoles. And it owns online play.

There are many great games for X-Box, it's just that Halo and Halo2 are the best known.

Advent Rising
MORROWIND!!!!!!!!!!!!
VIII
Splinter Cell Series
Myst games
Now Doom

Eat it.

so... the computer has a hard drive arguably has better graphics(if you have the right hard ware) ,random acess memory, internet, control over world politics(and im takin conspirsy here), better looking, better control interface for games, beat whats his name in chess, and has a built in car, rocket launcher(that destroys all console on sight beep...beep...beeeeeeeeeep.. kaboom... hehehe) and many other more useful than console options.

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

I recognize that the PC is the ultimate gaming console. I was speaking in terms of purely video-games consoles.

The PC never becomes 'outdated' like NES and Playstation. That is what makes it the best (along with what Redwinter said).

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

This is the video game topic!

(to the tune of the can-can)

*ahem* spam, spam, spam-spam-spam-spam-spam, spam, spam-spam-spam-spam-spam, spam, spam-spam-spam-spam-spam, spammtiy-clammity SPAM!

I think all systems have there downs and ups

But xbox is known for Halo and Halo2

and other systems are known for other games so i dont really agree
that one system is better than another because it really depends on the person.

Asdfghjkl · Master Mage

Waooo... its 50% to 50%
what will happen next

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

For the most part, the masses are just obnoxious in taoday's world about EVERYTHING, including video games. Some will die for their favorite companies; these are the same who will take an RPG to others (for excellent examples, go to Penny Arcade). This is why there is so much propaganda surrounding all systems.

Hey who is that guy · Almighty Critic

Hello everyone, Chris here again with another one of his forum-famous criticisms! TaDaaa!

Okay, here is my point of view on the current generation of console systems (PC doesn't count, otherwise it would win hands down).

In order of my favorite systems, is.......

1. The Almighty Gamecube!!! Yay (cheers, applause)!
even though it has no online play, Nintendo's games are far more...unique...than many other games of today. Take Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, any Mario game, Zelda, etc. You know what I mean...Nintendo has something that the other systems don't---Innovation, connectivity, and is open to audiences of all ages! (note: plz add your own criticisms below, I wish to see you people's points of view)

2. Xbox!
It is the green and black, large, heavy contraption that is found in homes all over the world...It has the best online service of the three systems (with Nintendo's having died before it was born and Sony's only good for SOCOM and a few other games) and is known for it's various games...Such as Halo, Halo2, Morrowind, Halo2, Some other games, Halo2, and Halo. Those games alone make me place this system as number 2 on my list.

3. The Boulder In The Woods Behind My House!
this thing is fun to kick, climb on, and talk to...Unlike the PS2 in my opinion (well, maybe I could kick it...)

4. Last, and definitely least, in my opinion, is the Playstation 2!
Aiming for realism and excellent graphics over storyline, gameplay, and multiplayer value, Sony has created a system with graphics better than any other system of this generation. It has a superior processor to those of the other systems, and even has built in DVD player that does not require the purchase of a remote to use. However, this system ranks last on my list because I believe that multiplayer and storyline are more important than realism, and in some cases Sony has attempted to make the most realistic game possible....But I play games to ESCAPE from reality, not to SIMULATE reality. Also, Sony's games target more mature audiences....I AM NOT MATURE!!!

Thankyouhavegoodnight

I think nintendo is really starting to lag behind. It has very few goof recent title now, but the new Fire Emblem is coming! *Pull a party-popper*

Dsigned for all ages? It aims at the ages between 8-15. Cmon folks, innovationn isn't always good.

Let's not ignore it's good points. It's got an 'innovative' controller, it has no online play (ok if you did't have any internet in the first place, but then how could you view this lovely forum?)........yeah..........

Anyway, the Gamecube mainly just play off of old game chacters and franchises.....we need new stuff, why not anything new?!

I like nintendo, don't get me wrong, but with the way things are going for Gamecube and what the Revolution is seeming to going to turn out to be, it is on one baaa-aaa-a-aaa-aaaad trip. It is dissapointing me.

Amergin · Peon

Nintendo has innovation and Miyamoto, two things that will keep it afloat for quite a long time. Widely successful? No, but innovation is innovation, and even if the half of the gaming population doesn't notice it, I betcha other developers will.

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

Innovation doesn't do anyone any good if it isn't entertaining.

The most recent games are really just play offs of old ones. There's not even innovation there.

I just want the Gamecube to have some better titles now. It's like it's been left out of the loop (has been, no online game-play :( .

Amergin · Peon

Did you even read what I said?

Take, for example, two games that have come out for the Playstation 2. One was Ico, a classic from back in the day, and the second is Shadow of the Colossus.

Ico's art style and storytelling are fantastic, and their innovation, although from a Dark Horse game, has probably rippled throughout the gaming community. Likewise, SotC's style of you against a walking mountain will probably help some developers create a realistic sense of scale.

Games like Half Life have helped speed and set standards for their genres. Zelda and Mario ushered in an era of 3d platformers/RPGs for the N64. Need I go on?

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

Yes you do. All the recent additions of these are really just remakes of the old one.

I will say one thing. I like how they re-did the Metroid Series into FPS format. Well-done Nintendo, well-done.

Asdfghjkl · Master Mage

All the votes are in and it is final HALO 2 wins

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

And for the record Amergin, I was speaking of Nintendo. The legend Zelda, four swords is really just alot of redone content of the Super Nintendo Zelda Game. However, you are putting words in my mouth.

I said that innovation isn't good if it isn't entertaining, I didn't say that all inovation was bad. You are missing something in between your ears if you missed that.

Half-Life 2, awe-inspring. Amazing graphics, impressive audio, best physics ever.

I've played SothC, and it also has pretty good graphics, and fun gameplay.

I can't say that I've played Ico.

The Forerunners · Freeman

To be a good video game company, you need INNOVATION, not graphics.
what good is a game with insanely realistic graphics if it is nothing new or interesting?

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

What is Innovation if it is not fun, entertaining, sucks graphic and gameplay wise, and anyone who has played would now rather watch paint dry than play it again.
(not reffering to any particular game or company).

Oh yeah. In caseyou didn't know, graphics are a HUGE part of the gaming experience. To use the beloved nintendo against you, the named a system for it!

if you didn't catch that last part, don't speak to me.

The Forerunners · Freeman

Gameplay is vital, graphics are not.

look at mario.

Babblefish · High Keeper of the Sacred Texts

You missunderstand.

Graphics are vital to compete on the modern game-making industry.

I did not say that game-play was not also important.
