Xbox starting to slide

**Rochey69r** · 08-10-2003

Hey all,

Some of you may know/remember me. I used to come on this site once a day when i was playing my xbox and awaiting thearrival of new games, but it seems now that the only game that i ever play is Halo. I was awaiting Brute Force, i mean who couldnt, this suposed 'Halo Killer' turned out to be a load of crap. IMO Brute force was one of the biggest let downs that has been released on xbox. If there is a game with more of a linear path than brute force then im yet to play it. lack of options made it crappy and cheap.

Im yet to play burnout 2, but im looking forward to it. but every other game i seem to play bores me to death in 5 mins.

C'mon halo 2 please be good. and C'mon all the new Hockey titles.

yourve got one bored aussie on ya hands MS.

Well, if you still enjoy Halo, I am sure Halo 2 won't let you down. The same development team is obviously working on it. If they messed this up, Microsoft would be all over them I think. There are some games such as Midtown Madness 3, Ghost Recon: Island Thunder, MotoGP 2, Wolfenstein, Soldier of Fortune II, and others. You might want to give these games a try when they launch by you if they all havn't yet.

Play KOTOR. It doesnt matter what type of game you like this game has it all. Its a mos def checkout.

Im just gonna say one thing... If you get Xbox Live your whole perspective will change on things... Xbox Live is awesome

**smack_roscoe** · 08-10-2003

I dont understand? You cant find anything to play other than Halo?

So IYO the xbox is slipping?

**yeszir** · 08-10-2003

No matter how few good games you think there are now (but i disagree with you, there are many good games) this will all change over the course of the next year. I can think of around 10 amazing (im talking 9 plus on the review scale) games that are going to be coming out for xbox soon.

**AlBoogy** · 08-10-2003

It seems to me like you are only looking forward to games that receive an amazing amount of hype. Do some research. If you did you would realize there are more games out there then just Halo.

**MerimacHamwich** · 08-10-2003

Well said Alboogy.

You guys have to remember though, he's from the great down under. Not all the games are released at the same time there as they are here.

**Lord Vivic** · 08-10-2003

Well I am really picky in choosing my game.I like Bethesda RPG's.So far I have Pirates of the Caribbean,and Morrowind,both I love.I liked Halo,Ghost Recon,and I like Games that take place in space and have huge Space battles like Earth and Beyond..ETC.And the new Empires game they are coming out with I will get.But,my point is out of hundreds of game for Xbox I seem to only like a few,and some haven't even come yet.

Thanx man. And I realize he is from Aust. and he doesnt have some games we have yet but there have been many threads like this. I must admit there was a time before Live came out where things were a bit bland but not anymore. You have no idea how many people tell me the same thing "xbox doesnt have any good games" blah blah blah. I just wish people would research there purchases a little more and games like Matrix wouldnt sell a million and Panzer Dragoon would.

**MerimacHamwich** · 08-10-2003

Haha, its kinda funny you say that. I lean the other way on those two games. I hated Panzer Dragoon but I love Enter The Matrix.

Enter the matrix is one of xbox top notch games IMO.

So the Xbox's lineup doesn't excite you, buy a PS2. But honestly, the lineups are pretty disappointing across all platforms lately. The only games I've been playing are Pirates of the Caribbean and Neverwinter Nights.
I dearly want Amped 2, but I'm afraid it's going to be to Tony-Hawkified for my taste.

The key thing is to not complain about it, just do something about it. If you don't like any games across any platforms, then give up on gaming!

**Arven** · 08-10-2003

I guess if you don't have Live, and if some of these games haven't been released yet in Australia, you might be feeling a drought. I remember about four months ago, I felt that way myself, here in the states. Then I got Live, and RTCW, and now...lord, I don't have enough hours in the day. I think my wife would still recognize me if I emerged from the game room, but I'm not sure. I've been putting a buttload of hours into KOTOR (great RPG, averaging 95% across about 40 reviews), playing MM3 like an addict, and whining to myself that I can't find the time for new games that interest me, like MC2 and GRIT. And with about a dozen fantastic games coming over the next four months, there is no end in sight. Imo, the Xbox lineup absolutely kicks ass.

**CarGuy** · 08-10-2003

For some reason i missed out on the hype for Brute Force. So when i played it i wasn't dissapointed... I thought it was fun.

**Voodoo_Vince** · 08-10-2003

IMO threads like this must be done by people with 3 second attention spans so many good games for Xbox , for more games that require shorter attention spans get a PS2 , most of thier games you don't have to think at all , just run around in a third person perspective and hit the attack button ,

**ARONO129** · 08-10-2003

To keep things interesting I trade my games once and a while. Just traded Knockout Kings 2002 and some $$ and got Rocky. Traded Amped and UFC Tapout 2 and got Nascar Thunder 2003.

Rotate your game libraries and keep things fresh.

**Lord Vivic** · 08-10-2003

Well I don't know about you guys but if you look at the games coming out it looks like there are some good games.
