To me, it looks like you're saying both.

But I agree, SC2 had almost no competition on Xbox and GCN, yet GCN sold way more, because of Link.

That doesn't matter at all, we're talking about sales and sales only. That is part of the factor, where PS2 and Xbox games are being played more than the sales indicate, but what we're talking about is sales.

Then why bring it up. It seems like multi-platform fighting games would be more relevent to the arguement regarding SCII.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I would pick it up if it was released to the other systems....but seeing as how Nintendo is very....um...."isolationist", that would be a fat chance.

I remember when they made it where only Nintendo could produce the cartridges even if the game was from a third-party developer.

I got both a PS2 and an XBox. I'm currently hooked on Red Dead Revolver (cause I've been waiting 2 years for this) and Pandora Tomorrow (it's not a game, it's art).

I really wish they released Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Gamecube (no I don't wanna play it on that rinky-dink SP....thing is too small). But almost all Legend of Zelda ames were awesome.

No.

Second, I dislike consoles, only PC.
And third that I dislike RPGs of this kind.

Where's the answer "yes, but I don't have a kiddy machine?"

Actually, Skanky is completely wrong. The answer would be "Yes, but I own a PC" which Asher forgot to stick in the poll.

Anyway, it looks like Imran wins, because I'm seeing 9-10 prospective buyers of Zelda who can't due to lacking Cubes (like me). That's triple the number of Cube-owning Zelda buyers.

It sold disproportionately well on the Gamecube because of Link. Arguably, it's less of an awesome game on the Gamecube than the Xbox version, since Link is unbalanced and rather cheap (where's Zero ), and it's missing several buttons the Xbox/PS2 version have, making you use some awkward button combos when you shouldn't have to.


u rang?

Link isnt really cheap. He actually sucks if you take time to learn him. Most good players any character matchup VS Link is assure victory for person playign against link, because he has nothing going for him. I know that most novice player complain because of link seemingly good range, damage and ring out game, but his main RO game is a throw (which is breakable with button A) which in mindgame only assures guranteed 50 dmg from b break throws if opponent chooses "hey **** this, im not going be run out". His damage game is pretty good with insane CH combo, but getting a CH is a challenge with easily interuptible moves that he has. He range is a moot point once you realize his projectiles are stupid and throwing them out equals opponent evading and you dying... So yeah... Picking Link = Losing.

Link has so much character flaws to make him good at all. While spawn is an excellent character in design and Heihachi poor (in too cheap good sense... the opposite of Link)

I'd have to side with asher in saying that Xbox gets +1 point in getting one additional balanced character, while PS2 gets one cheap ass character from tekken (it always seems that whenever tekken char get ported over they become teh g0dz) and GC getting a character that might be fun if ur a link fanboy (yes i do enjoy playing link) but on game design aspect it would have been MUCH better without additional character (yeah thats how bad he's designed)

Sorry for being here late. I was wondering why the flames in E3 died out. It seems it migrated... Im not really interested in console wars, but I had to get a topic where i have expertise on crystal clear for u guys before yall move on

PS: for those not interested in technical aspect
I agree with asher, GC version of SC is bad.
On character analysis alone (not graphic controls etc
Spawn = +10,000 points
Heihachi = -100 points (add +million point if all u care about is winning)
Link = -1000000000000000000000000 points (add +1 point if u like link)
