the word is THEY'RE..... friggen' xbox kids....Originally Posted by chefwhitey
and for reals... almost all of the games for an ehksbocks barely take from 3-18 house to complete, with only 7 out of 900+ titles being the exception... I dare you to pop in a Battle For Middle Earth game disc into your xbox and try playing that.. it's an RTS.. so it really pushes the limits of the hardware, and after 5 units are on the map at the same time it will crash......
It's bad enough that console is plagued with an atrocious failure and inadequate hardware, on some of the factors limiting developers to what they can make for it., but the fact is the games they do have aren't fantastic. 544 of those 900+ tiitle are actually original xbox games they payed royalties to nvidia to develop emulators for (aka: "reverse" compatible"), take away the cheesy dl games or "arcade" a plethora of crap that is also played on any cell phone in the world..., further eliminate the titles that you will never see, even if they are good, because that console and it's products are REGION LOCKED.......
go ahead and say it has a better online player base.. because it doesn't.. even in pure numbers it has less than HALF the online users that PS3 has.. barely hosting 1/7 of the library.. etc. etc.. can go on all day about it..
point is.. it has a hard time trying to play what few games it has that were good. Halo?? any pc gamer would show you halo is not only lethargic in it's gameplay, but the maps are a strait cut/paste from maps of other games.. change the colors, insert master cheif, BAM, sell to thousands of foolish kids who thought that was a cool person in the chat room not knowing it was an MS employee in a sales/advertisement campaign...
had the people really known the truth, the actual stats behind the hardware, the potential, and the limitations.. along with the actual costs to operate.. they would have easily ignored that console.. like they should have. Though.. years later, and a lesson learned.. many have figured that out the hard way. the first xbox failed alot.., somehow these kids thought it was good enough to help them make another xbox, which still, even today, fails alot (54.7%)...... the 3rd one is already 3-4 years behind in terms of hardware.. hopefully people have gotten sick of spilling their wallets out to MS for mediocre entertainment and will wise up to the joys of less expensive, and higher quality fun... aka.. PC/PS..
don't even get me started on the WII.. haha, what a gimmick!
