If that's true, WOW is that stupid. Great, I get to fight for a name due to people who picked that name years ago and have since never used that account again.Quote:

Why would I even care how you choose to spend your money?Quote:

Of course he dosen't. As the old saying goes, the only people who hate XBOXLive are the ones who don't have it.
Mamo, stop being such a korian.
Of course not. I'll readily admit that Live is the best online gaming service currently available for a console, but that automatically doesn't make it great or worth the money MS is asking for in subscription fees. Unlike some dipshits who prefer to carve stupid messages into products they've already purchased, I choose to send a message with my wallet. I won't subscribe to Live until I see the features that I want implemented (dedicated servers, less inferior ports of PC games I can already play online for free, more original titles, league play in Sega's sports titles, etc).Quote:

Waaaaaaaaaaah~
I love the fact that Mamo feels the need to cry about me in every post he makes now. The true meaning of owned.
PS: Dedicated servers have been around since I've been on live, the variety is already there (Every major sport, dancing, dogfighting, racing, rpg, fps, fighting, puzzle, strategy...Thats a hell of a lot more variety than the PS2 line-up which consists of football, SOCOM and Amplitude), inferior ports my ass (RS3 for example) and boo hoo about league support for Sega games.
Back to the topic....
I wanna play Links tomorrow night after I wrap up Ninja Gaiden, so I'll go post whore in the online gaming thread now. So was the new course radically different or lame?
the xbox live subscription fee is about the same you'd pay for a ps2 broadband adapter + headset. you can complain about the price when it comes time to renew your account, but by then, you'll be glad to pay it.Quote:

Oh please. Every Sega sports game that is on Xbox Live is also online via the PS2 and with more features. The PS2 also has online modes in every EA Sports title, which covers a much larger variety of sports than Sega. Where are the college football games on Xbox Live? Boxing games? Online play in Fight Night will of course be PS2 Only. Funny...I don't recall any soccer games on Live, but Fifa 2004 is certainly playable online via the PS2. Every major sport my ass.Quote:

You're also overlooking the likes of Everything or Nothing, Return of the King, Risk, Trivial Pursuit, Twisted Metal Black, SSX3, NFL Street, Everquest, Need for Speed: Underground, RE: Outbreak, and the Tony Hawk games. Yes, no variety at all. :rolleyes:
And I never said there wasn't a variety of genres available on Xbox Live. All I said is that the games were mediocre. And honestly, I like DRR, but there is no point to playing it online.
Exception, not the rule (Ghost Recon, Wolfenstein, Counter-Strike, Island Thunder, Unreal Championship, Soldier of Fortune 2 for example). You noticing a trend here? And don't forget the just announced Tron 2.0!Quote:

You'd be boo hooing if you realized why there is no league support in Sega's sports games.Quote:
and boo hoo about league support for Sega games.
EA's sports games are the only sports games that aren't online on Xbox.Quote:

As if all the online games on PS2 were AAA.Quote:

Funny that just about all the games you mentioned are also on PS2.Quote:

What I fail to realize is why someone who hates Live so much feels the need to post in every Live thread.
I think the second post in this thread is a good reason why. But he started out with a good point regardless--if Links gets 7 more courses in addition to the two already released, it'll still have less courses.
