Honestly, Rick, I'm with you on that point. My love for Nintendo will never
die. But at least I'm not a basher. I don't need to justify my GC purchase
by ignoring any launch problems it's had and piling BS "facts" against
Microsoft or XB. All I need to do to justify my purchase is go play Monkey
Ball. :-)

I don't doubt his word at all. It's his bias I can't ignore. He freely
admits to filtering out opposing views because he 'distrusts' the people
posting. Well, duh. Pot, kettle, black for the other side! :)
Stryder ignored the XBOX CRASHES posts on the very thread he supplied as
his own proof! How can anyone think that his bias doesn't affect his
conclusion about the reporting of GC vs. XBOX crashes?

Dude, you are drawing conclusions from other fanboys without actually
spending time on the boards. Did either of those people say "their" XBOX
crashed? NOPE. Likely they don't even own XBOXs. Yet I do see quite a few
people who OWN GCs saying theirs crashed. If you were not ignorant about
the way the boards work, you would be able to tell truth from fiction. It's
quite easy after seeing so many posts on the boards. I posted one such
example of a bogus post earlier in this debate (the person who said theirs
crashed yet the day before said theywould buy six copies of MGS2 before an
XBOX...those types were the flood the XBOX board experienced after
launch...95% bogus and it was quite obvious).

Because I know exactly what he's talking about. It is possible that some
people on message boards are going to post some phony info to get attention
or try to discredit a console. I've seen it on Cloudchaser when some guy
came on the Nintendo boards and posted a link to a fake webpage saying MS
was going to buy out Nintendo. It is out there. And, when you've spent
enough time on boards, you do come to realize if someone is posting a
legitimate statement, or is trolling (like you've been doing here).

Exactly, there was a flood of such posts on the XBOX board when it launched
and the same on the GC board when it launched. But after the first day or
two, things went back to normal. I'm sure that some peoples XBOXs crashed.
Any game on any system will crash at some point on somebody...it just
happens. But that is NOT the crux of the argument.
The only point that I was trying to make is that Rogue Leader seems to be
the ONLY reoccurring crash problem on the message boards and the newsgroups.
I only brought it up because this is exactly what Rick predicted with the
XBOX software....he said that it would be buggy and crash all the time to
the point patches would be required. Well the facts are obvious, this did
not occur....and the closest example to such a problem is RL for the GC.
It's simply undeniable (unless, apparently, you're Rick). I just find that
ironic.

Sort of, but not as good IMO. Halo's a good game and all but it has =
some issues (like the sloppy land cruiser controls and the "Hey, this =
isn't anything really new" feeling), that don't make it feel like it has =
the same "Oomph" as PD.
I'm sure Cubey will get some of these games down the line.
-aldo>>>>>>
Not as good? I personally didn't care for PD at all. It was blurry =
as hell (literally made my eyes hurt after playing games like Unreal =
Tournament on PC) and I felt it lost all of it's heart without the Bond =
theme that GE had. I still prefer GE to PD by a long shot. Also, PDs =
multiplayer was lame. Poor level design and those short alien dudes =
were cheap as hell. Some of the weapons were cool (like that briefcase =
gun), but I thought the overall weapons assortment in GE was superior.

As for the land cruiser, yes, it slides WAY too easily, but after a =
couple minutes with it, the controls become much easier. The other =
vehicles (the Banshee hovercraft and the Scorpion tank) have excellent =
controls.
=20
I'd take Halo in a heartbeat over PD...it would be a close call =
between my experience with GE and Halo. I think GE was more fun for =
it's time since it was a groundbreaking console FPS....but if it came =
down to it, I'd still take Halo over GE. Widescreen, progressive scan, =
and 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound is just too good to pass up.
