The Xbox: Year One
 
Year one is officially over for our beloved Xbox (hard to believe Xbox has already been out for a year). Xbox has had its fair share of ups and downs, good and bad, surprises and disappointments; Xbox Live being the biggest surprise...:)

It is time for all you Xbox fans, including myself, to rate the top ten titles to hit the Xbox in year one (November 15th '01-'02). Please only rate titles that you have actually played, and that as of right now are on no other console...:roll:

Halo: Combat Evolved- 100%
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell- 98%
Metal Gear Solid: Substance- 94%
MechAssault- 94%
Deathrow- 93%
RalliSport Challenge- 92%
JSRF: Jet Set Radio Future- 92%
Unreal Championship- 91%
Dead or Alive 3- 90%

Or disapointment. Depends who you ask.

Though, I don't think it surpasses Halo for biggest disapointment.

how was Halo a disapointment?

gekko 11-28-2002 06:09 PM

Don't get me started. Search for my Halo posts, you can find my millions of complaints for that crap.

Please! Do not get gekko started with his rants!

He's like the energizer bunny... he keeps on going and going and going and going... you get the point.

to me, Halo was a disappointment...

everyone was calling it the closest thing to the 2nd coming, yet I've played a few better FPS's before...and I'm not even a big fan of most FPS's...

it's still a good game. the controls are spot on, graphics are impressive, and for FPS the story is good. gameplay seems a little slow, multiplayer could be much better...

Gekko has a knack of hating anything that every other XBox owner loves. Just let him go with it cause I really don't want to hear about how he rationalizes that Halo was a bad game...

gekko 11-28-2002 09:11 PM

No. Every Xbox owner loves Sega, and I love them :D

Halo was just... crap. All Microsoft's fault. Poor Bungie, sold their soul to the devil :(

It seems as though you're an 'attention whore'...and if you think a marquee title 'isn't that great' you'll say it was complete crap so people will react to you...

that's what it looks like to me...

I mean, you don't go on and on about how crappy games are that almost everyone else would call crappy too...you just pick the ones that would get you attention...

I could be wrong...*shrugs*

Professor S 11-28-2002 10:45 PM

Ouch... even I didn't go that far.

Games are over-hyped and exaggerated as being better than they are. When I get it and am not impressed, why is it so wrong to go the other way and exxagerate how bad it is? Only fair in my books.

Plus, we never have threads about Britney's Dance Beat and other ****ty titles. But we do have threads about Halo, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, and other games I hate.

Happydude 11-28-2002 11:38 PM

CLOSE!



maybe...:p

i've played Halo only one, and the only thing that bugs me about it are the controls...but thats probably cause i didn't get used to them.

Professor S 11-29-2002 10:33 AM

Gekko, I stopped listening when you compared GTA 3, Final Fantasy and Halo to Britneys Dance Beat...

And that was also his last sentence, so I think that everybody stopped listening to him after that.
