Fzero GX vs. Soul Calibur 2

[Sl1p]

They were born on the same day and they're both great, but there can be only one..............

*Calls Mrs. Spo in for a conference*

I want to show you something, Mrs. Spo. Now, this is normal.

SpoDaddy is right here. The state requires a minimum I.Q. of eighty to attend public school, Mrs. Spo. He's gonna have to go to a special school. Now, he'll be just fine.

*Makes a note to buy that movie..*

Ever notice it's always the same morons wandering around the boards flaming people? As for my preference, yes I prefer Fzero. That's not the point of the thread, the point is to see what my fellow gamers feel is the better game all around. Games don't have to be in the same genre to be compared in terms of fun, quality and longevity.

Well, I understand where they're coming from SpoDaddy.

You ask them for their vote, and then when they don't vote the same way you do (for F-Zero) you complain and carry-on about how F-Zero is the greatest racer of all time. It's just ridiculous.

Contribute to the Official F-Zero GX thread if you want to talk about F-Zero. It just seems like you're trying to start an arguement between fans of the two series or something. (maybe you're not, but it's not apparent)

People have flamed me too, but I still understand their distaste for a thread like this.

The game is based more on twitch reflexes than mastery of your vehicles handling properties

Does anyone else feel this way? The reasons given didn't make much sense to me. I guess you can't see the loss in acceleration too well, since super-fucking-fast barely looks different from super-fast, but you can really tell when 15 or so cars blaze past you.
Try the game out, play in expert mode, and tell me you don't need to know how your car handles or how to best run the tracks in order to even place, let alone win.

Between the two: if you're gonna have constant competition from friends, then SC2 first. If not, F-Zero first. Eventually get both. Then buy the other 2 SC2 versions of the game when they reach the $20.00 range.

Quake III.

Games don't have to be in the same genre to be compared in terms of fun, quality and longevity.

Your amount of fun will first be based on what genre you prefer and then whether or not you have friends that enjoy the same genre. The quality is near equal. Which one you play for longer also depends on whether or not you have friends that enjoy the same genre.

It's more circumstance then game quality, so no, the comparision doesn't work.

Andrew: I wasn't "complaining" at all, I welcome opinions different from my own (it's why I started the thread in the first place, to get other points of view). I simply went into detail on how I feel about the games for Klonoa because he wanted advice on which one to buy. I haven't critisized anybody's opinion on either game, they're both great and I can understand why anyone would like one more than the other. My opinion comes from the fact that I played Soul Calibur 1 to death on Dreamcast, and SC2 is too similar to it for my tastes. Of course similar to something great isn't a bad thing, just means it doesn't feel as deserving of my money as something like Fzero GX, which addresses every issue I had with Fzero X on N64 (no car creation mode, weak unlockables and an "unlock everything" code). I played Fzero X to death, and Fzero GX feels like a completely new game to me. Anyone that feels I'm not giving SC2 enough credit, feel free to speak your mind.

That.

Is not.

The point.

Which do you think is the better game and why? I personally have to say FZero GX because this game is just rocking my world relentlessly. I never expected anything like this from the game, it's blown away all my expectations (and I'm an Fzero fan). Soul Calibur 2 is lots of fun but every time I play it feels like I'm playing a port of what I was playing Christmas 99'.

I haven't put my finger on it yet, but there's just something special about Fzero GX that I haven't felt from a game in a LONG time. The game sucks me in, beats me up with it's unrelenting difficulty, and yet not even a faint spark of frustration results. Unbelievable. Fortunately I own both games so I don't have to make the cruel choice with my wallet, but if I did......sorry SC2 but the soul doesn't burn anymore, it hauls ass at 1500 mph with goofy homemade decals pasted on it.

Good to see you posting again, man. How are things back there with Big A?

If it's a choice between the GC version of Soul Calibur 2 and FZero, then definitely FZero.

If it's a choice between the XBox version of Soul Calibur 2 and FZero, then I say Amped. Hehe.

Of course similar to something great isn't a bad thing, just means it doesn't feel as deserving of my money as something like Fzero GX, which addresses every issue I had with Fzero X on N64 (no car creation mode, weak unlockables and an "unlock everything" code).

I do hope those aren't all the issues you had with F-Zero X, because as we've already listed SC2 has more additions to SC then that.

[Tragic]

Mr. Spo?

Yeah Billy?

What grade are you in?

(Another great comedy movie)

Anywho, I'd say that Soul Calibur 2 has taken up a couple of hours multiplayer wise while F-Zero has been eating up late night solo game time.
