Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

They aren't used to Microsoft being a major competitor for gaming. Sony and Nintendo have been into the business for a decade or so (Maybe a little less in Sony's case), so they appear to be the best ones out there. Eventually more people will realize Microsoft know's what they're doing, and stop bashing it's games.

Actually, I think gamecube has the least amount of good games. Nintendo's former consoles were good though.

Saying Gamecube is 'NOOB' at making games show just how little you know. Nintendo have been in the console industry for long enough to know what theyre doing. Nintendo has had every type of game out there. Goldeneye, the classic first person shooter...id say the best under Halo and Halo 2 only. The Zelda series was fantastic. With the Gamecube though, all Shigsy is doing is making games which are enjoyable and fun. Party games people here call them....you can have a laugh playing them and fights wont break out when someone loses or uses a little dodgy trick...like in a few more serious Xbox games i could mention. But yes, I got a Gamecube simply to stay loyal to Nintendo. It has been delivering games and good entertainment since my early childhood. I had played Halo before at a friends house and thought it was alright....didn't get the chance to play the campaign. Then about a month ago my big brothers friend brought round his Xbox with Halo 2 and 4 pads. We had an all out 4 hour multiplayer fest. Needless to say i've since scrapped my Christmas list and added a few things to it, if you catch my drift ;)

So anyway....Im now mad about Halo 2 and Xbox. People are always saying "Yeh well Microsoft are new to this industry, they'll crash out soon" but what they dont realise is, Nintendo and Sony have bank vaults holding around $8billion....microsoft must have nearly a trillion...if not more. I reckon in a few years Sony will give up and Nintendo will take on the young gamers market.

well, gamecube just doesn't have a classic fun feel to it. The controllers have weird sized buttons and the games are mainly made for kids. And a lot of the ones that aren't made for kids are for all consoles. Two good games on it (I am sure there are more but these two just stick out for me) are Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Metroid Prime.

I have all three, and enjoy all of them. It basically goes like this for me, Xbox has better graphics and controller, while they have some good games, they are not all games I will remember in a years time.

While PS2 has weaker graphics, but has a large selection of games, and some great series, like MGS.

Gamcube, it does not have thay many good games, but the ones they have are incredible, even if you don't like Gamecube you can't say you won't be looking forward to the new Zelda and Resident Evil.

The whole thing is, all the PS2 games that you really wanna get (GTA and MGS) are either out on Xbox, too, or coming soon to Xbox. If you mod your Xbox, you can play all the PS1 games.

I'm lookin' forward to the new Zelda game, though. Might buy a 'Cube for it. I never really cared all that much for Resident Evil.

But outside of the upcoming Zelda game and Super Smash Bros., the GC just plain ain't that great. Just like Halo is keeping the Xbox alive, so is Zelda keeping the 'Cube alive. All the super-obsessive fanboys got the latest Zelda game (which, with it's -blam!- cartoony look, raped all that was good and holy about Zelda up the @$$...just like those Philips CD-i games), along with the last Mario game, which wasn't that great. The Metriod Prime series, in my opinion, isn't much fun for two reasons: All the bad guys have a pattern, so there's no variety with your tactics when you fight 'em. Boooooooring. Also, I detest the lack of a free-look...instead they put in a -blam!--ish lock on system that takes a good chunk out of the fun in a First Person game for me. There's a certain satisfaction when you reach a zen-like state with your FPS, able to cap someone in the head from 400 yards away, your body and controller working as one. MP didn't allow that to happen for me.

Obviously, that's all just my opinion.

A couple of months ago, I had my first experience with Gamecube with SSBM. Needless to say, I'm buying one. Soon. The only console in the history of consoles that I really cannot think of any reason to buy is PS2.

SSBM is addicting. Gives you killer blisters, too. If Halo weren't around, I'd say SSBM is the best party game. If it were somehow more than 4 players, it probably would be, in my opinion.

Thankfully, my GC-owning cousin has a PS2 controller with an adapter...it's light-years ahead of the 'Cube controller as far as fighting games go.

SSBM is really crazy good. I'm not getting it right away, I'm getting Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, but I've never seen a fighting game as well balanced and executed as SSBM. It's also one of the few games that I can think of that's actually third person that isn't an RTS.

Yeah, half the awesome in SSBM is when you finally master it. It's surprisingly deep, and each character has a whole bevy of insane moves that can be altered with how hard you push the control stick. At the same time, it's easy to get into. I've never played Animal Crossing, and I've played Harvest Moon on the N64...it was okay, but my favorite RPG is either KOTOR or Super Mario RPG.

Harvest was the most fun I've ever had in a sim game back on the SNES, so I figured it'd be pretty good on GC.

I have all three systems, xbox is the most powerful but Gamecube has a few good games on it(like super smash bros and the zelda series). PS2 is the worse in my opinion. Oh and just because you play a certain console does not mean you are any less or better than anyone else. So don't be a prejudice fool. Also, 2 great games do not neccesarily make the system great.

Eh, what's the difference. If someone is telling you that you 'suck' because you own something that they are jealous of, then tune them out. These people will end up digging ditches.

Don't worry, nobody who's opinion matters is a console elitist.
(But Bungie is better than Rockstar. If they say something against Bungie, you know what to do.)

...If you are in a school where status is achieved by which Game Console, (Read: Toy) you own, that is kind of sad. Change schools, this isn't a place you want to stay at.

Im actually just curious if that 'l33t' stuff will eventually mutate enough to be a complete language in upon itself. Egads, I hope not. Those words make me really, really angry. Like I get the feeling someones trying to feel superior by simply confusing people who think that there are enough dialects in this world already.

Me and two fo my friends played Halo for 13 straight hours, only stopping to pee and drink root beer. I think San Andreas is cool but it'll be out on Xbox in a while (with better graphics). And for Game Cube, one of my friends has one and from what I've seen they are pretty cheap. His fell apart. I mean FELL apart. The lid thingy came off when he hit the button. GC has some good games and it would be pretty cheap to get one. I mean the console it self is only 100 bucks.

I like Xbox for it's controllers, graphics, and Halo.

I like PS2 for it's wide selection of games, and Metal Gear Solid.

And I like GC for it's party games.


The controllers suck on the other systems. I am guessing it is because of my box's controllers.
