Good Game or Good Graphics?

Good games over graphics... i.e. not xbox. The only thing xbox has that other consules dont is halo 2. Every other game tere is available for other consules at lower graphics but those consules have better original games. Fable, halo 1, etc, are all for PC now too. No reason to give microsoft more money, you already run them on their OS anyway

don't go xbox bashing... I'll give you 1 reason xbox is better then other consoles of its generation...

XBOX LIVE....

Lets not start remaking classics... otherwise gaming will be like the american movies, remaking classics, stripping out what was good about them and replacing it with americanism... I.E. the italian job..

Lord help us if they ever remake "The Great Escape"
"... I know guys, he makes the jump... and goes off to kill Hitler.."

Im not bashing im just saying the truth, Live isnt a game, and PS2 is online as well, and u dont have to pay for it.

how many online games does the ps2 got? and how long did it take them to get online? Xbox has loads of good games...
PS2 got 1 good game for every 20 crappy games made..

and xbox has maybe 2 good games...

theres over 120 games online for ps2, thats a good amount. and its been online for awhile now.

and yes xbox has good games but the good ones are all multiplatform that the xbox gets so none r exclusive save halo 2

2 good games??? LOL

halo1/2
ninja gaiden
Jade empire
dead or alive
KOTOR1/2
splinter cell

all say otherwise..

MarioX said that the good games were available otherwise... Splinter Cell, Knights of the Old Republic, Dead or Alive 2, and Halo 1 are all on either PC or the other consules. I agree, for the number of exclusive games that the Xbox has, it isn't worth the purchase price of the consule to me.

Not to mention the fact that Halo is WAY overrated.

Gameplay is much more important than the graphics for me.

WTF are you talking about? All those games have exceptional graphics for when they were made. Doom in particular, that game is something like 12 years old. Play a PC game made the same time and then replay Doom and tell me that it has crap graphics for it's time. You won't be able to.

Exactly Lana. Most of the "classic" games had revolutionary graphics for its time.

Good graphics and presentation bring attention to a game, good gameplay carries the attention: combine the two, and you have a classic.

It is NOT mutually exclusive.

Some of my favorite games have lame graphics.

Same here. Quake, StarCraft, Doom, etc etc.

Good game is far more important, look at games like Civ 2 GREAT GAME but the graphics are worth shit.

Okay, Lana and Hit_and_Miss, if you really are gamers you shouldn't really be bashing other consoles. Because since you like games there really shouldn't be a problem then. Every system has its weaknesses and strengths.

I would prefer better game-play but it needs to be balanced with graphics or the game just won't work.

If it wasn't for the increase of better graphics then FPS wouldn't really have taken off.

Show me where I bashed other consoles; all I said was that Halo was way overrated. Which it is.

This is funny. Keep talking/typing. 😆

I'm not bashing the PS2 just defending the xbox from its first attack...

Yeah I've gone and done it again. Lana your name wasn't suppose to be there I copy and pasted the wrong thing 🙁 forgive me.

I meant MarioX

Im not bashing im just saying the truth,

But the truth is you are bashing the console.

And I'm just going to leave it at that. Really you shouldn't have to defend your console at all, its all about the gaming isn't it after all? Who cares what other people think, once you are playing the games that you like and continue to play them what do others peoples opinions matter?

One day in the future we will have a gaming society where we all come together and live in peace 😛

None of those games had bad graphics compared to its contemporaries.

Doom, as I said, had exceptional graphics for its time. Compared to today's games they're nothing special, but the game was made what, 12 years ago? Quake and StarCraft are also pretty old, and also in comparison to games made the same time, had great graphics.

In some instances, Xbox bashing isn't consule bashing, moreso company bashing. I, for one, don't fully view Microsoft as an established gaming company. Argue what you may, their first consule came out in 2002. Sony's been around since 1994, and Nintendo even farther back.
