Last year when I was shopping the deciding factor between the two was definitely the fact that the X-Box has an internal hard drive to save game on, while the PS2 you have to buy memory sticks.
However, if the consoles were identical PS2 would have had the edge on games. I've just started getting into adventure games and the selection in PS2 is enormous. The most recent one I played on X Box was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I beat it in only two days with less than 8 hours of play. It didn't seem that big. I heard that in PS2's Genosaga if you have a walk through sheet it takes 18 hours to go through it from beginiing to end.
What I like about the game selection in X Box is the best racing games. Project Gotham 1 + 2 ROCKS!

I tried to put in the systems with the greatest impact. sorry if yours isn't here.

But Playstation and X-Box are also my favorites....

I choose the Saturn because of sheer weirdability available for it... heck, it had some decent releases nobody saw. Suikoden anyone? Super Tempo?....
Post by: Ulario on July 22, 2004, 12:19:23 pm
From that list I chose my second favorite... the Sega Genesis.

I enjoy playing and have to buy a console for. I still enjoy all the Mario (including Mariokart) and Zelda games. Super Smash Bros, Beyond Good and Evil, F-ZeroGX, etc.

Well I don't know about Super Tempo, but Suikoden was also released on the Playstation.

That and the fact that its greatest competitor, the Nintendo Gamecube, has mostly games which... Well, I don't want to start a flame war by saying this, but apart from the really obvious StarFox makeover, it looks like they just recycled most of the N64 games (which I love, but not enough to buy more than once) and reformatted them. Don't get me wrong- I love N64 just as much as I like PS1, but I can't play N64 games on the Gamecube; PS2 is like two systems in one.

Yeah I know what you mean, I just got Naruto 1 on Friday and have been playing it like mad! Trying to do story mode 10,000 times to unlock Sasuke's brother...yeah I'm nuts...
Which is why I voted for the PS2...Naruto the best fighting game I have ever played.
Post by: KinderStone on August 01, 2004, 07:04:20 pm
Anyway I guess I'd have to say the PS2 is my favorite of the newer ones (no one will ever beat the spectrum or Atari) We have loads of emulators* for it so I can play jusst about any game made for any console on it.
*For those that don't know, it's a programme that lets you run programmes or games for any console on your PC or PS2 (don't know if you can get to play them for the other new consoles)

Sweet, another Naruto Fan ^__^

Favorite?Hmm,if the same game is available for all three new ones(Gamecube,PS2 and Xbox) I tend to get the game for the Xbox because that way it wont take up space on a memory card.But I like em all!!!
Post by: Firebreath on August 02, 2004, 11:13:12 am
PC.
Why? All the games.
And who cares about consoles when you can host a game on a dedicated server on the same machine that you play it on? XD
'nuff said. ^^

my fav game: Nights into Dreams
Post by: Hat-Kun on August 08, 2004, 09:09:55 am
I seem to buy whichever offers the main Resident Evil games, it seems. The Saturn had the original with added Battle Mode fun, the Dramcast has the best version of Resi 2, along with Resi 3 (That I haven't bothered fiding out the version differences for yet - Must do that now) and Code Veronica. Then the GameCube has the remake of the original, plus 0 and 4. Which overall isn't bad.
Though I've yet to touch any of the others. At all. Though apparently I'm not missing much from the Gun Survivor series or Gaiden, and I don't know about Outbreak.

My favorite of the current generation, however...is a toughy. I have all 3, and like them each for their different qualities. Gamecube has some of the most fun games available, and PS2 has an excellent selection of games and gizmos...but I do find myself playing the Xbox the most out of the three since I picked it up.
Post by: CornishSkankRabbit on August 11, 2004, 10:25:41 am
Round here, only nerds had Nintendos.
And the games: We had Sonic, real Sonic mind, none of that new Earth-set crap... and Streets of Rage, and Golden Axe! *sighs* They just don't make em like that anymore...
And the cartridges! They musta been made outta space shuttle re-entry tiles or something, cos they were practicaly indestrucable. I mean, it doesn't matter what you do to em, just blow across the underside and all's well.

You don't know how long I've been waiting for Sega to make a new entry in that series. It's one of my all-time favorites.

Unfortunately it died and fell off the face of the planet before I ever got a chance to play it. I've only ever been able to play a Sega Saturn once in my life, and that was at a demo kiosk at Toys R' Us back when my Sega Genesis was still my main console.

The N64 has to be on top for me. It got me into games and it's a big part of why I'm a big time gamer today. I love Ocarina of Time sooooo much. It was the second game I ever owned and I'm still playing it. (Only 2 days ago I played it for at least the 15th time) The N64 is definately top for me.

Though i do like games on nintendo consols and xbox (Starfox 64, starfox adventures, Sly 2, halo2 ect)
Though id have to say my biggest gaming friend is my PC, it simply is better to use for video games, and you can get games up to 10 times better on the PC then on consols...(Half-life, half-life 2, Call of duty ect)

So while I have and will continue to enjoy some of the great PC games out there, I can't feel it's proper to call it the greatest gaming system... I'm not trying to start a PC/console gaming war (as I'm well aware that they happen), I'm just pointing out that it's not a good comparison.

| Topic: Favorite video game system? |
PS2, for me. Well, I reason that today's minds are prone to at least two addictions within a lifetime. One for me of course is sex (*gasp* IMPOSSIBLE).....so I just chose the other, potentially non-lethal (yet, pleasurable) activity: videogames. And there's that generous vibration function on the latest controllers, so occasionally I can combine both hobbies....... kidding, KIDDING, ROFL!!
