Time to debunk this rumor... Xenon 2005
- Thread starter jedimike
- Start date
bs i started with the trolling. cybmerc did. as far as zelda trumping everything in 2005, wasnt wind wanker supposed to do the same thing? everything nintendo releases is supposed to be "the ace in the hole" for the year. If that were the case the GC wouldnt be in the dire position its in now.

Their 1st qtr. financial statements contradict your "dire position" statement. Not everything Nintendo releases is supposed to be "their ace in the hole" for the year, only those blinded by bias would believe, or even quote such ignorance. The "Wind Wanker" pushed GC sales past the Box's for Feb., then currently held the record for game pre-orders, is sitting at 1.3 million in NA & 3.3 million worldwide. So I can feed you crow later, what aforementioned X-title will comprehensively outscore & outsell LOZ?
do i even have to answer that question? i mean come on now. heres a hint.

You don't help your stance by making fun of a game title, and even though you thought that TWW was gonna be the #1 game of the year, doesn't mean rationally thinking people thought so.
I remember the TWW prediction thread, and very few predicted it would sell 1 million by June.
BeOnEdge said:the game was overhyped. yeah i fell for it too. yeah i thought it would save the GC and yeah i rushed out and bought it and i dont find sailing around in a boat wasting my time fun. i feel i have the right to call it whatever i want after being let down by it.
Go ahead, but you wont win any respect in an argument. It just lessens your case to act more childish than the your opponent.
And your avatar man... it rocks.
The thread itself is a troll. There is no need to create a thread with a bunch of upcoming (some even multiplatform ) games just to supposedly stop some supposed rumor that there won't be any games to play on Xbox next year. Just because you "see a lot of this crap on these boards" is not a reason to start a thread.
I see a lot of people here constantly slagging Nintendo, their business, their developers, everything. I don't go starting threads to debunk these things. If I feel like responding to them, I do it in the thread where they occur. This thread is just another propaganda thread about how great you think Xbox is and it's used to stir up trouble. In short, the thread is trolling for disagreement from fans of other consoles.

Oh come on. If someone made a thread about the GC (like jarrod or EAD Ninja's list things, except for 2005 games), I doubt you'd be so upset about it. Nobody started getting all pissy until about 30 posts in or so anyway.

Can we give Dave the "seriously reaching" tag? We've been doing this on GAF for ages. I don't see you pissing and moaning about the Cube Fall line-up thread, or the Nintendo DS full list thread, or any other thread that mentions any games that are not yet released.

BS. utter BS. you truly forgot about the mighty halo. i know you did.
EAD Ninja would never post any lists of upcoming games in the following way...
It's clearly meant to be argumentative and insulting to people. The "Year of the Xbox" thing seals the deal. As if the board is LOADED with negative sentiment and it's Jedimike's goal to defend the black flag with the green X.
I don't even give a shit which console you guys play. I've played mostly PC games lately anyway. I just think it's silly how I often see this kind of thread from the Xbox fans. As if they have to let us know, time and time again, just how great the system is and promote it that little bit more.

Everyone knows jedimike's slant in the gaming world as I'm sure they know mine, yours, Cockles', and a lot of other people's. Plus the fact he clearly stated it was all his opinion makes it just a harmless post. If you really didn't want this thread to escalate into anything you should have left it the fuck alone in the first place.
Acting more childish than his opponent is what BOE does on a regular basis. I mean, honestly, Wind Wanker? Turn in your trolling license BOE, you don't have the imagination for it!AniHawk said:
As for Xenon 2005 or whatever, I don't think we'll really know anything about it until E3. Maybe GDC at the earliest. I don't see why some of the XBox faithful think they have to debunk that the XBox won't have any good/great games for 2005. MS hasn't become Sega (Genesis) yet after all.

So in short.......you fell for the "bait". The winner is you!
This isn't suppose to a joke thread???????
How???
He titled it as if it was about whether Xenon would launch in 2005 or not, and then gives us a silly list thread (not even a decent list, either). I've got no problem with people making lists, but they are all nothing but flamebait... especially stupid lists. Jedimike, can you honestly say that you expected nothing less by creating this thread?
And would someone, PLEEEASE, shove a controller in BoE's mouth. He was amusing for a while, with his Xbox revolution nonsense, but in the past few weeks he's been acting like a retarded kid, who just saw his first breast and can't quite control himself. His posts are barely even legible anymore.

I agree w/you JJC, but here's a currently known '05 exclusive list for you BOE since you were self-admittedly "joking."
-Advance Wars: Under Fire
-Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki
-Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat
-Odama
-Mario Tennis
-Geist
-LOZ
-Super Monkey Ball 3
-Animal Crossing 2
-Unity
-Mobile Suit Gundam Seed
-Camelot rpg. (Golden Sun)
-RE4 (possibly)
To name a few, as this is not a comprehensive list.

What the shizzle?? When was Mobile Suit Gundam Seed ever announced for the GC? Are there any pics of this game on the net?
Li Mu Bai said:
Wrong. The new LoZ trumps everything Xbox had listed from '01.
More dust on my Xbox in 2005, save for some Halo and Halo2 action.
I'll be bored with Doom3 by then. Gates should end the profit loss fest, pull the plug on Xbox1 and 2 and just sell Bungie to Nintendo or Sony. Or go bonkers and buy Sega-Sammy, Capcom, and Square-Enix. Now that would make the Xbox2 interesting.Did someone say list?BeOnEdge said:

...plus there's the possibility of new JP games getting picked up (HomeLand, Naruto 3, Kururin Squash, etc), and rumored games in development (Phantasy Star Universe, Golden Sun, Monkey Ball 3, etc). Overall I'd say GameCube's got a stronger 2005 than XBox (many more exclusives too), while PS2 beats them all. GBA is looking surprisingly weak in 2005 for the first time though. :/

I always like a bit of controversy... It keeps things fun at GAF. But I never expected anyone to get pissed about it or accuse me of trolling. It was designed just to let people know that 2005 is going to be a great year for Xbox fans.
BTW, my list is fucking awesome. Like I said, it will be the 2nd best year ever for Xbox.
that being said... please close this thread :/
edit: thx jarrod.

2005 exclusives doesnt look too bad for XB,although mostly due to delays:
Call of Cthulhu
SW:Republic Commando
Kameo
Conker
Jade Empire
Unreal Championship 2
Phantom Dust(someone gotta pick it up)
Spikeout
Painkiller(improved PC port)
Dungeon Lords(same)
The Roots
Advent Rising
BC
Far Cry Instincs(few months before other platforms)
Kore Gang
Half Life 2
Mech Assault 2
Pariah
MotoGP3
Possibly another Team Ninja game.
Some of the MGS Japan games that will be shown at this TGS(Team Breakout RPG?)
The disturbing bit about lineup is that allmost all games are coming in the first half of the year.
There are also more PC ports coming , games like Serious Sam 2,Vampire:Bloodlines and even Dreamfall:Longest Journey.
