| Jumpin said: The main reason I didn't get one was because I found it uninteresting. It was marketed as PS2 jr. The only game that I saw as being very interesting was Skies of Arcadia, which I already had on Dreamcast. People have gone on about how great Gamecube was with games like Pikmin, Metroid, RE4, and Eternal Darkness; but these games felt boring to me when I played them. Mario Kart, Mario Sunshine, and Zelda were also sub-standard games in their respective series'. All of these games I have played since getting a Wii. I don't see how Gamecube had even close to as powerful a line-up as the PS2 or Wii. I think people are fooling themselves when they say it compared. |
i disagree with you. you certainly have the right to have your opinion respected, which i do, but calling those games boring or substandard is a statement not supported by their reviews, their sales, or their many accolades. RE4 was so good sony bribed capcom into breaking its exclusivity with gc and releasing it for ps2, where it sold over 1 million units. it did so again on the wii. pikmin and metroid have been rereleased on wii and have both become hits again. zelda WW has spawned at least two hit sequels on. mariokart doubledash is generally regarded as the best of the series by most fans and critics. sorry if you did not get to enjoy the satisfaction that millions of other gamers did, and continue to today; maybe you should give them another try? s far as the quality of the lineup... as for wii, its lineup basically IS the gc lineup. as for ps2, of course it has numerous top-notch games in its lineup, and i enjoy them, but i think it's fair to say, as i did before, that the gc lineup matches up quite well to it, and even more so against the xbox, which i feel had the least impressive game library. i don't think any gc fan is fooling themselves at all...
