Having just purchased my GC, I am pretty dissapointed to say the least at the fact it's entered a *yawn* period already. Where are all the good games coming out? Aside from the *sarcasm* super wonderful *sarcasm* Zelda (and lets not get into that debate, OK), what the hell is there for me to look forward to? The only real game I want now is Winning Eleven 6, and it's doubtful if it'll ever get a release over here.
I'm not happy. 
Any views on this?
yes, why the fuck did you buy one when you know you like playing the games that are on the PS2?
to counter you, I just bought an X-Box and the only game I'm rating on it is PDO, what get's me is about the X-Box is that people think Halo is an amazing game, it's over hyped crap, I'm glad I bought it second hand for a tenner, admitadly I'm not a FPS fan but there's no denying I loved Quake, the controls for the buggy are awful, I've gotten over the first play "wow this is pretty cool" effect, and I'm now into "this is the same bollocks as before" land, I've renamed him the Master Chef so I found some humour in it.
anywho, to me there are a few types of gamers,
Mr Average Gamer (Jaz): prefer pick up and play games, nothing wrong with that, but they need to feel cool so that they can be secure in front of their missus whilst playing a game *gasp* yes games are made for kids (or big kids) who would have thought! although they can get Monsters Inc. in by saying it's cool when their missus thinks it's cute and as a token gesture towards her playing on the console when in reality he'll be playing it more often, and she'd prefer FFX
Ideal PS2 territory (who games and doesn't have one though?)
The ex-SEGA crowd, feel superior to all gamers, want to epitomise hardcore gamers, still harbour feeling of loyalty to SEGA and will buy the shit it shovels no matter what (I've seen them praise Gungrave for fucks sake!) will buy an X-Box since pride dictates they won't buy a Gamecube before any other console (even if it has Sonic and PSO)
The Nintendo crowd: yeah that's a hard one now isn't it? anywho, feel superior to all gamers (what the fuck did you expect?), annoyed with Nintendo for releasing Mario Sunshine (Fludd detracts from the whole platforming experiance of Mario, and the levels without it only heighten this frustration), have also been highly baited with games like Eternal Darkness (Ideal Nintendo fan gaming, although ReMake killed it, aside: not even Nintendo can make Resi a decent game though) and Metroid Prime, the promise of Zelda keeps them going along with F-Zero, StarFox Armada, Soul Calibur 2 (it's got Link in it dammit!), PN3 and the rest of the Capcom 5 (which all play to the hardcore crowd so I don't quite get why capcom is bitching about the sales of PN3, they will or they won't buy a game, they're not impulse buyers)
Cynic's (I'd say I fit in here now, I used to be a Sega/Ninty fan): if they think it plays like shit they'll say it (DMC Gungrave, Sonic Adventure, Halo, MGS), they cross all categories really, should have the balls to say when an EA game is good (I like Shox and 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan in case you were wondering), expect games to look decent, they know what games they like, but like to be surprised (I like MP, and I hate it in 2D, go me!)
*sarcasm* and yes this was completely unbiased *sarcasm*
