Why did you assume I was the average American doing it out of patriotism? Unlike our president, I don't like to export American jobs. American jobs are being exported for cheaper labor elsewhere due to the decline of American products purchased in America. If we start buying our own products we can employ ourselves easier. I would consider my stance on the situation the same as the Japanese. They buy most products from Japanese companies to keep their economy high. How many American cars do you see in Japan? Not many........ Now how many Japanese cars do you see in American? More than we need. Have you looked at the American economy as of late? President Bush has killed it. Tax cuts go to companies that export jobs to other countries. We are killing our own economy. The ulterior motive war by President Bush doesnt help either.Travis Bickle said:
Are we on level ground now? Can we stop arguing over my stance on American products? Can we just be PES/WE mates now? Maybe we need to have an online match?
About the games you listed, I will give my opinion on them aswell. Remember I still own my PS2 and have nothing against it. I just like my xbox more.
XBOX
Fable - I can say this game was not my tatse either.
Tony Hawk's Underground - I quit playing the Tony Hawk series after the second one since nothing but GFX changed.
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game - Get this, I am not a Star Wars fan.
Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict - I play FPS on my PC, Unreal Tournament 2004 is a good game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 - I had 2004 for my PS2 and 2005 for my xbox, I love Golf.
The Chronicles of Riddick (Bonus Disc) - I have never Played it
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 - I am getting pretty sick of the WWII games
Madden NFL 2005 - NFL 2K5 baby, madden has always sucked, even the 16-bit games. Really, I just don't like American Football
Jade Empire - honestly it was a great idea, just not very well polished.
Mercenaries - I have the PS2 version, the controller is better for it
Forza Motorsport - I love every second of this game
Psychonauts - Not my cup of tea
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - Never Played it.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - I have the PS2 and PC version as the xbox controller is just horrible for this game, and the GFX are bad on the xbox version IMO
Soulcalibur II - I have all three copies of this game for the exclusive characters, Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube. It is the only fighting game I like.
Project Gotham Racing 2 - I can't stand arcade racers
NBA Street Vol. 2 - I'm not a big basketball fan, I do like EPSN NBA 2K5 though. SEGA and Visual Concepts know how to make a game realistic and fun.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 - I play the PC version
Halo: Combat Evolved - I hate this game
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - I had the PS2 version, it was fun for an action game
Burnout 3: Takedown - I thought Burnout 2 was better. I still hate arcade racers, but the crash mode in burnout 2 was fun when my buddies were over
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - I love all stealth action games.
Ninja Gaiden - Never was a big fan of the Ninja Gaiden series
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - I don't like Star Wars
Halo 2 - Makes me want to puke. I play all FPS on PC and HALO 2's game engine is very outdated
Playstation 2
Pro evolution Soccer - You see I am here, don't you? I play the PC versions now.
Final Fantasy X - Eh, Square has let me down since FF8.
God of War - the best action game I have ever played.
GTA: San Andreas - got it for PS2 and PC
Katamari Damacy - fun but strange
Devil may cry - I didnt really like it
Gran Turismo 4 - 5 years ago it would have been great but there are much better racers out there
GTA: Vice City - Got the PS2 and PC version
Virtua fighter 4:Evo - I never really liked the VF series
Metal Gear Solid 2+3 - I have always liked the MGS series
Ico - not my cup of tea
Ratchet and clank 2 - I have them all, I thought 3 was the best.
All of the Sony F1 series - This and the WRC series are the reason why I have a chipped PS2
TOCA Race Driver - I have TOCA 1 and 2 on xbox.
Timesplitters - Console shooters bleh
Xenosaga - eh, not my type of game
killzone - well it is better than HALO, but its still a console shooter
There is more than just games that make me love my xbox. It is my mediabox. When I power it on, it boots to a custom dashboard. All of my xbox games are on the Hard Drive (I put a 160GB in there to replace the stock 8GB) and I can just pick one to play. I have emulators on my xbox that consist of NES, SNES, N64, SEGA Genesis, SEGA CD, SEGA 32X, Playstation, and a DOS port of Duke Nukem 3D. It alos has XBMC(Xbox Media Center), I can store Divx, Xvid, MPEG, WMV, MP3, WMA, WAV, etc files on there and play them as if it was a multimedia center PC. I can also stream audio/video files from my PC through the network. I can do many things with my xbox and I love it. As an owner of an HDTV, the PS2 is almost useless. It has no HDTV support. There are very few 480 Progressive games, and most that have 480p have slowdowns because of the PS2's hardware. The only game to support 1080i was a fake, GT4 and its upscaled 480p.
I also enjoy having Dolby Digital 5.1 surround on the xbox. I am a home theatre nut and the PS2 just doesnt cut it for that anymore.
