Oh, dear Lord. I completely forgot that this thread existed.
Look, X-Box fanboys, I respect that you like the X-Box and all, but, honestly. You come here and flame the GameCube with bad reasons. What's worse is that you don't even own a GC and you have the audacity to pass judgement on it. Exactly what games have you guys played on it? Someone said that the consoles have their own specific genre's that they center on. I think it was Del. He's right. Even though GC doesn't have as many violent games as X-Box and PS2, it far makes up for it by providing us with fun games. I would take Super Mario Sunshine over that stupid FPS that makes you hunt down terrorists any day.
Quit it with the graphics s. They are all equal in graphics capabilities. Shiva's Effect, you said that the X-Box has incredible graphics because of its water effects and its absolutely, unearthly, and unbelievably mind-boggling swaying grass(WOW). Metroid Prime has all of those things, as well.
Halo is an awesome multiplayer game(I know because I've played it), but the GC has its share of great multiplayer games, too. To name a few, there's Mario Kart: Double Dash with the LAN capabilities, FF: CC(Probably the best example), and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Metroid Prime 2 and Star Fox 2 are going to have multiplayer capabilities that are mind-boggling.
There's no reason to actually hate the GC, and the X-Box for that matter, except out of stupid biased reasons.

That pretty much sums it up right there. Unfortunately, many people don't see it that way. Some day though, years from now there will be appreciation for all the systems, I think.There's no reason to actually hate the GC, and the X-Box for that matter, except out of stupid biased reasons.
Look back at the genesis/snes war. Back then both sides hated the other. Gamers today don't hate either the SNES or Genesis. Sadly, it takes people years to realize this, and by that time the systems are long dead.
To hell with Battletoads and Double Dragon.
THIS is the ultimate team.

That most deserves more whatever than something big's because he puts out alot of good points whereas this doesnt say anything to me cept bad things....
I dont understand why Halo(Halo2 maybe) is even considered something special to the Xbox now that its also on PC. That makes no sense. Why waste 200 bucks on a console for that game i can get on the PC? I really think Halo2 will eventually make its way to the PC eventually as well, i have no reason to see why Halo is even valid as a point when its out on PC.
As for graphics its pretty on par, about the grass moving what about fur in Starfox? Have you paused in SSB: M and looked at the clothes people wear? The muscles on Bowser? The platforms and stuff? Its VERY detailed, when i saw them up close i was awed at the detail that came into the game. Just Smash was enough for me to get into GC.
As for FleshMask i dont know, but alot of your reasons are opinions and the sort, that makes no reason to really dislike a gamecube....i mean the manly thing and the invalid points of graphics...really =/ I cant take that post very seriously. Fuzzy or not the game is fun, its fun. I like Pokemon the original, and i think its great(its other stuff however..-_-;. Facts are considered more than opinions and alot of what you said are opinions, hence why i cant take alot of it seriously no offense of course..Fun Factor>Fuzziness or looks.
I seen and played some Xbox games and i havent really got the feeling of MUST GET XBOX NOW kinda feeling. However with PS2 and GCN i have, and i liked my choices. Not to say Xbox is a bad console, it just didnt appeal to MY tastes. I like the ammount of RPG games on PS2 and the PS games i missed out before. And i like GCN for all its unique games too. Xbox just didnt reach out to me, thats all.
I by far love the GCN's controller, it looks wierd but after getting used to it, its second nature. Looks are only skin deep they say, and its true.
One of the most sensible things ever said, each console caters to each's individual's tastes, you buy the one that satisfies yours. Enough said.There's no reason to actually hate the GC, and the X-Box for that matter, except out of stupid biased reasons.

Isnt Phantasy Star Online erm..online? O_o Did they release it yet?
Yeah, but online is still Gamecubes "weakness". But it all depends on your preferences. I prefer to have my comp for online play.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
You can't comapre the graphics seriously. When I played the Xbox, my first games are DoA3, DoAXtreme BV and Ninja Gaiden, all made by Tecmo. They had the most breath-taking graphics I've ever seen.
Then I browsed the other games. Harry Potter...wtf? You call that graphics? Not only that, but many others me and my friend had pointed out.
I'm still wondering why did they put KOTOR into XBox. It is much better on PC.
Technically, yes, you can compare the Gamecube's graphics to the Xbox. The Xbox has better *actual* numbers, but none of their games shows that it's actually significantly better in any respect. Pull out a great looking Xbox game and there's a Gamecube game to counter it.
And the Xbox and Gamecube games that are also on PS2 (sports, mostly) look the same for those two but both noticeabley better than PS2, which is just technilogically behind.
Well, the way I see it:
Xbox for major online support and game playing.
PS2 for a huge library of all types of games.
Gamecube for awesome Fisrt Party games.
These are what I see as each systems greatest draw in, price not counting.

The Gamecube makes up for its games that you can't play online with its LAN capabilities.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
Gamecube has the best 4 player party games... Monkey Ball, Monkey Ball 2, Super Smash Melee, Mario Kart DD, F-Zero, Wario Ware, Zelda: 4 Swords, FF: CC... none of those do you need to be "mature" to play, you can just have some great, genuine, unique fun with 3 best friends and get more excitement going than any same-old-same-old FPS multiplayer.
Between my PS2 and my GameCube I'd have to say the GC is my favorite. As for an Xbox, I don't really need one but I wouldn't mind having one just for the hell of it. None of the games really interest me enough to warrant a purchase of the system.
