Is X-box really dead?
cloudstrife:
yes, mgs2 came out a long time ago for ps2. yes, i played it through and enjoyed it, but i wondered where the vr missions were. looks like they saved them for the xbox. this discourages me, the reason that i bought a ps2 was FOR mgs2.
rare is now microsoft exclusive, and the fact that one of the best games ever (panzer dragoon by sega) is being added to the mix makes me believe that most hardcore action gamers will see the xbox as the only way to go. this is how it looks to me:
ps2 - RPGs and GTA
xbox - FPSs (first person shooters) (halo, halo2, perfect dark, etc)
gamecube - a little bit of everrything
now perfect dark is my biggest concern. it seems like everyone who had n64 (and thats a LOT of ppl) thinks perfect dark is the *BEST GAME EVER.* they thought that about goldeneye, then when goldeneye's sequel (Perfect dark) came out, they abandoned goldeneye for the new game. when they hear that perfect dark 2 is coming out, they will do *ANYTHING* to play it. anything includes buyin an xbox. as an added bonus, they will then be able to play halo.
note that i am a hardcore gamer, i prefer ps2 and i never really went nuts over goldeneye or perfect dark.

What the hell? I never heard about any of this. I'm not really a dedicated gamer, but i have my sources, and no where did i hear that x-box was dead or even losing support.

Now, if we could just get them to pull out of the U.S. we'll be all set!

Come on Calum, dont you remember me? I use to come here a while back. I was the one who brought up the topic about how Micro$soft are getting to people early and how all schools now use Windows.
When I edited my message I didnt edit where I come from....and anyway it was edited on the 16th of October which was before you posted your message (october 19th).
If you dont believe me, ask me some things about Australia that only an Australian would know.
Anyway man, no hard feelings.
