I made up a list of 10 things that nearly EVERY Xbox gamer would hate:

1. Delayed games (examples: KotOR, Brute Force,...and Halo 2)
2. Cancelled games (examples: Battlefield 1942)
3. Bad games (examples: Kabuki Warriors,...hrmm)
4. Electronic Arts (the pro-PS2 guys)
5. No GTA on Xbox (maybe sometime...maybe)
6. Game stores without Xbox games (might as well call it hell)
7. People who say "Behold the all sacred PlayStation 2"
8. Not being able to attend the E3 (most of us)
9. When Microsoft wastes money (on games that nobody would even play)
10. Anti-Xbox magazines and web sites (Gamespot,...hrmm)

Of course, there are tons of others things that Xbox gamers absolutely hate. If there something Xbox-related that makes your blood boil (Halo is not an option) then gladly post it at this thread.

2. Haven't had a game I was looking forward to, get cancelled.

3. Every system get's a crap game.

4. I could care less what EA does.

5. The fact that GTA is not on the xbox (yet) doesn't bother me. If it never came over, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

7. Just let them keep thinking that.

8. I could have gone, but logistically there where problems. Tickets were offered.... (Thanks you know who you are.)

9. There's games I like that nobody likes... It goes both ways.


Well, I guess you should have put more empthasis on NEARLY as opposed to EVERY gamer.

I think we all know that it was a general list, and it does work, though some of the numbers could have been switched around, and opinions will vary. Either way, I can see the first three being the top three. As for E3, well, damn it was fun!:cheers:

Which game store doesn't have Xbox games?

Also, if you want to play GTA so badly, go buy a freakin' PS2. It's entertaining for about 15 hours or so. Then you can buy some of the other good games for the system.

I think he meant that every xbox gamer hates it when people are xbox haters. I have a PS2 as well, but my first loyalty goes to Xbox.

Anyway, good list, xboxgamer. I'd have to add that I hate it when a game is clearly great, but only on Live - it sucks in single-player. Some games just don't work in single-player, I understand, but why add a single-player mode that's just tacked on? I hate it even more that you have to have a live account just to play the single-player part of Phantasy Star Online. I read the other day that PGR2 is going to upload times and ghosts from your single-player game to the scoreboards on Live. I hope that doesn't mean that they're doing the same with PGR2 as PSO!

Haha, yeah, I don't blame you, it was a fun time, and being part of the DDC definetly has it's perks (i.e. going to E3). Either way, I think next year's E3 will be the year to really go!

I absolutely hate when games are delayed.
2. Cancelled games (examples: Battlefield 1942)
I was very angry at EA for this
3. Bad games (examples: Kabuki Warriors,...hrmm)
I know, there have been some crap games on xbox.
4. Electronic Arts (the pro-PS2 guys)
I know they are pro ps2, which angers me, but they still let out most of their titles on xbox. (with no live though :cry:)
5. No GTA on Xbox (maybe sometime...maybe)
There will be in the future, and I have both on ps2.:D
6. Game stores without Xbox games (might as well call it hell)
Yeah, they suck
7. People who say "Behold the all sacred PlayStation 2"
Playstation 2 isn't that bad, but I like my xbox better.
8. Not being able to attend the E3 (most of us)
I know, I was to freakin young for that
9. When Microsoft wastes money (on games that nobody would even play) They need to get things straight.
10. Anti-Xbox magazines and web sites (Gamespot,...hrmm)
Well I like those websites, yet I disagree with what they say about the xbox.

The one thing I hate the most is this; "PS2 is better because it has a HUGE library of games".

I have a PS2, I play, SOCOM, Devil May Cry series, Half-Life and on occasion Red Faction. That is all of that HUGE library I enjoy.

"Xbox is better because it's more advanced, and has Halo."

That's an argument I get sick of seeing. You see it on nearly every forum you go to that has anything to do with gaming.

I absolutely cannot stand Grand Theft anything. I just didn't have fun with the game. Besides, it's horrible looking. (JUst another reason "I" don't like the game).

Game delays. Well I don't like em, but when the game is finally finished if the "delay" shows up in the quality of the game I have no problem with it.

Cancellations. Eh, there's nothing I can do about that but complain. Obviously when you are competing with $$$ your word is hard to hear.

EA.. Well, I enjoy Medal Of Honor alot. I'm not a LIVE user so I don't really have a horse in the race.

E3.. Never thought about going.

Bad games? I trade em in on something I think might be better, however often times to only uncover the miserable fact that I would have been better off keeping the game I had. There is something bad in everything.

I hate the fact M$ doesn't offer their extended warranty to Canadians. I would have gladly paid for the warranty in US funds. I do have an extended warranty from the store where I bought my Xbox but it's not as good.

Considering I'm the only one of the DDC to have eliminated one of our own guys from the squad, and you're under 21...it's still a pretty funny joke. I guess you can always dream:rofl:

Maybe you should have read the back of the game box where it explicitly says you'll need to pay a fee :watchout:

I hate the fact that Halo 2 won't be out tomorrow!! Other than that I understand the delay in games. I think good games bad games are a matter of choice. EA will come around. The mags that try to kick the xbox back in well I can sum that up in two words, Fuk them!! I agree with VV, next year will be the year of the box baby!! I just hope to be here!!!

Hey, I'm not the only one! I have two full size controllers, 1 American S Type, and a Japanese S Type. None of the controllers make that whining sound except for the American S Type. It's weird. If I recall, it's the left side motor that makes that sound too. But it only happens through prolong rumblings.

My major complaint?
It takes entirely too long too rip songs from a CD the Hard drive.

i'm sorry but...

I love EA... the no GTA thing doesn't bother me (thats what my PC is for ;) )... I have yet to see a game store without Xbox games... i'm sure the E3 thing applies to gamers of all consoles... it will take a while till Microsoft runs out of money, so I say, waste away!... I rather enjoy seeing anti-xbox remarks... :cool:

So your list is wrong, because it doesn't apply to "EVERY XBOX GAMER" have a nice day
(Oh, and Gasman....resize that mofo)

P.S. BEHOLD THE ALL SACRED PS2! :hail:

Hmm, I think that was a good list. Everything on there is something I've felt about at one point or another, and I would have guessed that every xbox owner would feel the same way also. Apparently I was wrong though, which is more a fault of not being able to encompass the minds of every xbox owner on the market, rather than a shortcoming in anyone's judgement. At least I see it that way.



1. Delayed games (examples: KotOR, Brute Force,...and Halo 2)
2. Cancelled games (examples: Battlefield 1942)
3. Bad games (examples: Kabuki Warriors,...hrmm)
4. Electronic Arts (the pro-PS2 guys)
5. No GTA on Xbox (maybe sometime...maybe)
6. Game stores without Xbox games (might as well call it hell)
7. People who say "Behold the all sacred PlayStation 2"
8. Not being able to attend the E3 (most of us)
9. When Microsoft wastes money (on games that nobody would even play)
10. Anti-Xbox magazines and web sites (Gamespot,...hrmm)


Delayed games used to bug the hell out of me, but I've learned to deal. Every piece of software will probably get delayed regardless. If you keep that in mind, it sort of makes the whole problem go away.

Cancelled games always hurt, particularly when you're looking forward to them

Bad games are also a fact of life, and it's best to pretend they don't exist, and to research games before purchasing!

EA have lost any and all respect I ever had for them since they began "dissing" the Xbox.

GTA will be on Xbox. Even if it wasn't, it's only a mediocre game (vice city and 3), and I already have them for pc and don't play them on that anyway.

Ha, and the last one, what about pro-xbox magazines? I hate OXM, they always have very old news (a fault of the print media), deliver misinformation ("In Breed you play a regular soldier, ala Halo". HA!) and rarely have demo discs worth playing. If they have a demo you are looking forward to, usually it's the only thing on the disc, or the only thing on the disc in a sea of crap. And regardless, it's usually only around one playable demo, and the rest are movies. And all of it is for games already released anyway. Okay, not literally, but that's definitely what it seems like.
