Doesn't help--looking/aiming up/down is still a pain, because you have to constantly re-adjust going up hills while being pelted with enemy fire. Kudos to those that can put up with it.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 Three letters, my friend. G------T-------A Actually G------T-----A isn't in the top selling 5 for PS2, so I'm pretty sure they were at one time, you know. Unlike PS2, the X-Box isn't exactly bursting at the seams with dozens of great new games. The quality may be higher overall, but the number of great titles is lower. It's probably a less-extreme example of how almost any N64 game would be a hit because N64 owners were so starved for new games. How many Halos have been sold overall, and how many GTA3/VCs have been sold? I don't care for any of those games, but I'm curious. It would allow for a more accurate comparison, at least. Also, isn't Fight Night the number 1 selling X-Box game? Where is it listed X-Box still is the 4th top selling X-Box game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 I'd say the PS2 GTAs probably got higher numbers internationally as well, since they have the higher market penetration...plus about 3 Japanese people own X-Boxes. What about the X-Box double pack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 I must just be missing when all these great PS2 games come out. The last 5 games I've purchased were: Full Spectrum Warrior, Chronicles of Riddick, Ninja Gaiden, The Suffering and Splinter Cell 2. Only one of those is currently available on another system.

nogoodnick 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2004 If you're an RPG fan then KOTOR is awesome. As everyone probably already said, Halo is 3 years old but still the best console FPS out there. I own a PS2 and X box and love em both. I play all my sports games on Ps2 however because I like the controller layout even though X box has better graphics.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 I hate the X-Box controller layout. I have some friggin big hands, but it still is uncomfortable for fighting games. It's bad when you'd rather play a fighting game with a DC controller. It's good enough for Metal Slug, though. Oh, the much-hyped but delayed-until-no-one-cared-and-came-out-to-no-fanfare Malice is on PS2 as well. HA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted June 16, 2004 The Xbox has less buttons though, more accessible. Doesnt the XBOX controller have the same amount of buttons as a PS2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 The Xbox has less buttons though, more accessible. Doesnt the XBOX controller have the same amount of buttons as a PS2? PS2: L1, L2, R1, R2, Square, Circle, Triangle, X, L3 and R3. (Start and Select) X-Box: A, B, X, Y, L, R, White, Black, the Left and Right Thumbsticks, (Start, Back) So technically, yeah the amount of buttons is the same, but the PS2 controller is far better, because of the size, shape, simpler design, and it doesn't have two buttons placed as awkwardly as the Black and White ones.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted June 16, 2004 The PS2 Controller is smaller though, I think the Xbox has the simpler design as well. I guess I just don't like having two L and R buttons. And the white and black buttons aren't used all that much, so really your primary buttons are A, B, X, Y, L, and R whereas PS2's primaries are L1, R1, R2, L2, Square, Circle, Triangle, and X.

I thought thats what you meant, my statement wasnt meant as a clever remark. Personally i prefer the S-Controller or whatever its called.. I dont like how close the buttons are together on the larger X Box controller. The analogue sticks seem much more usable on the X Box too.. they just feel less touchy if that makes any sense.

The two L and R buttons How is the PS2 controller too small? I can practically hold those big-ass Saturn/Sega CD boxes by the long ends without dropping it and I still find the bulk of the X-Box controller uncomfortable. Granted, I'm very much used to the PS2 controller, but the Dreamcast controller works well for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
