Anyway, in an effort to take this thread more on topic and lighten the mood a bit. What kind of sales does everyone think this game will get over the next month? (and don't say decent :lol). Post a few guesses and we'll see who is right when the official software sales eventually come out.

I'll say 200,000 for the first month in the U.S.
 
Another question, is the Demo available in the shops any indication of the final game? Cause if it is, then i'm not impressed.... The framerate never TOUCHES 30fps... I'm sure it's a crappy demo though
 
the final product it never dips below 30. so no..

I rented it, I love the vehicle missions, especially the speeder bike ones. But as most of the reviews of touched on, the foot missions are closed to horrible, luckily they are also easy as sin so you can be done with them quickly and get back to more of the glorious vehicle missions.

Or is it because of a bad pal conversion.

OH THERE u go... the demo mission was an on foot one (the one on the snow) and it was just dreadful.... i mean, Genesis games have more frames of animation per characters than that!
the lack of pro-scan for PAL territories also hurt my brain...
 
Teasy,

I couldn't be bothered because the effort needed to actually take some of your posts seriously is quite exhausting. Also as I already said, I didn't assume anything. Its hardly an assumption to take the word decent to actually mean decent is it?

Yes, it's real exhasting to attemtp to find things wrong with every sentance I say, providing it's about the gamecube that is. If it's exahsting, then you should consider that YOU are exerting too much energy trying to find something when it's not there! As people have already written, decent is one of the meanings of the word "good". I was using it with that meaning, even if you don't like it, get over it!

This isn't about over analyzing anything. Its about you, yet again, making a comment and then backpeddling at great speed once your called on it. You were simply playing down an aspect of the game because any real positivity would have diluted an otherwise negative post. As Grall said earlier, it would take a gun to the head to make you say anything positive regarding Nintendo or GC, or anything related to them.

WRONG! I said what I wanted to say, there's NO backpeddling there at all. What there is, is you wrecking a perfectly fine thread by making accusations again and again. The game IMO has good graphics and I don't NEED to say anything more than that to make you, cyebermerc, or Grall happy. I said smehting positive and you STILL have a problem with that. Wht if I sai I don't like the graphics? What ar eyou going to do then, cry? You're pathetic man, there's not much you can do about people when they express thier opiniion. I didn't mean anything negative by it, but you simply refuse to accept that.

It would take a gun to your head to stop being such a fan, and looking for anything written that you don't like about the gamecube.

BTW, yeah, you don't have to answer to me, Cyba, Paul, Grall, or anyone else who called you on this. But what you should do is actually stand by what you say and take responsibility for it. Instead of pretending you said something else when you later realise it was a stupid thing to say in the first place.

Are you blind teasy? did you see the posts form myself and others that told you what I meant, and there's nothing wrong with it. If you have a problem with it or any others, then TOUGH, ignore it just like you would if someone else said the same thing! You can send me a private message and we'll argue there, but I don't need you and your buddies jumping down my throat for saying somehting you don't consider postitive enough. I gave the game a compliment in the graphics area but said it lacks game play. You don't like that? Sorry I don't have to answer to you, or anyone else you listed.

And if you do want to claim that you didn't really mean decent then the least you should have done was to say "I meant good/great (whatever) when I said decent, but I can see how my comment was unclear, my mistake". Instead you actually had the audacity to accuse other people of assuming the worst, basically putting the blame elsewhere as usual.

Um, i suggest you go back a few posts and read what I've written for once. I did say I meant "decent" as slang for "good". You are simply not reading, and now you're back tracking. Don't try to accuse me of doing something I heren't! I said the game had good graphics already but you obviously ignored that.

YOU and your pals assumed I meant "average" and in some way I chose that wording because I didn't want to say something MORE postive sounding. So when you guys are qaccusing me of something that wasn't correct, you should say you were wrong and forget it, instead of trying to spin more BS and point the blame at me. I wasn't the one tha thad a problem with what I wrote, remember?

If you really wanted to keep the thread back on topic you shouldn't go around accusting people of saying/meaning things they aren't doing. Instead if that hadn't happened this thread would still be about games, but OH no you gotta get you defenses way up!
 
You really want to know whats exhausting Quincy? Your latest post is a fine example of it. Do you really need to cut my post into 5 peices and quote/reply to everything I say? That is exactly how threads go from discussions into off topic nonesense 99% of the time. I realised that quite a while ago and try not to do it, or at least limited it. Please consider doing the same.

As for your post, it looks like its the same old stuff that I replied to last time written again (from the little I read of it). Which makes me think that its almost pointless to reply to it. Especially when your quite obviously not capable of posting in a calm rational manner at present. So I'll reply to you when I can be bothered to... if at all.

Oh I'll just make one comment in reply to your post. There was only one person who even remotely took your side on this Quincy. So that should be posts from you and one other not you and others. Conversly there were 4 people who, suprisingly, took decent to actually mean decent.....
 
Teasy,

LOl, I replied to each paragraph you wrote. what's even worse is when someone like yourself hunts out specific words and quote/reply to each word. :rolleyes:

Excuse me if I don't like being accused of intent when it wasn't there. Obviously you can't understand that or you wouldn't keep doing this over and over again. What's even more "exhausting" is how you do this tp speocofc poeple, men while you leave comments from others alone.

right, and it was the usual fans that took what I said in a negative way. Ever notice how it's always the same people that jump down people throats and constantly invovled with any and all gamecube arguements? Even still I think you're so blinded by everything that you couldn't see what was menat as an innocent comment. Still that was NO reason for you to de-rail the thread, even if you didn't agree or like it.
 
u know... we have things called Private Messages... which can be used for.... YES! Private discussions and stroppy mood swings... :D ok just ignore me, got no work to do...
sometimes it's nice getting paid 20 quid an hour to do NOTHING!!! :LOL:
 
Yeah I suggested private messages, but obviously teasy prefers to do this in the forum and rally support for his cause as it makes him feel better.

Anyway, the light sattering effect has been in flight sim games if I remember correctly. It's a decent approximation of the real effect.
 
I really don't believe what I'm seeing. I post asking you to please stop cutting posts up into loads of peices and quoting/replying to everyting seperately. So you cut that post into peices and quote/reply. If I didn't know you better I'd think that was a pretty funny joke there, because unfortunately I do know you better. The reasons why you should not constantly cut every post into several peices and reply to each part are as follows:

- The posts get very long and hard to read.
- If more then one person does it then the thread goes more and more off topic as each seperate quotes starts to become its own topic.
- If only one person does it then it becomes harder and harder to reply without also cutting and pasting.

Oh and no it wasn't any usual suspects who argued with you on this. Grall and Paul are usually in the PS2 camp AFAIR.

I do have a couple of quotes though:

What's even more "exhausting" is how you do this tp speocofc poeple, men while you leave comments from others alone.

Excuse me??

Yeah I suggested private messages, but obviously teasy prefers to do this in the forum and rally support for his cause as it makes him feel better.

When exactly did you suggest private messages? If it was in one of your latest cut and past monster posts then I thought I made it very clear that I only read the first paragraph of that post and merely browsed the rest (which is why I didn't reply to much of it). So you know fine well that I did not read any such suggestion. Is it too difficult for you to take your own suggestion and actually send a private message suggesting private messages? :LOL:
 
Oh the sheer irony of this comment :LOL:

Um, i suggest you go back a few posts and read what I've written for once. I did say I meant "decent" as slang for "good". You are simply not reading, and now you're back tracking.

I said:

the least you should have done was to say "I meant good/great (whatever) when I said decent, but I can see how my comment was unclear, my mistake".

That last part about, at least, admiting your own mistake was the point of the paragraph you quoted, not the first part about saying what you meant.

As I said earlier, if you had just been civil and taken some responsibility for what you wrote in the first place (admited at the very least that it was very unclear) I wouldn't have even replied any further. Instead you blamed other people for mis-interpreting what you said, which is just rediculous. If I said Halo 2 had average graphics and then blamed you for mis-interpreting that to actually mean average because I meant some sort of slang word for great then what would your reaction be?.. think about that.

P.S. see what I mean, now the quoting is spreeding, your contegious :)
 
Don't worry london-boy, apparently Mr Roach is very enthusiastic about the whole private messaging idea :) So there should be a PM winging itself to me any moment! Oh I'm jusy soooo excited! :LOL:

I've done my best to keep this thread from going completely insane, I really have. I mean I've ignored whole massives posts from this guy, but I just cannot ignore some of the things he says.

The reasons why you should not constantly cut every post into several peices and reply to each part are as follows:

As I said before, I'm replying to the paragraphs as YOU wrote them while rarely ommiting things that aren't needed. I don't see why you have a problem with it as it's the very thing you're doing. If you don't want me to reply, then stop cutting up my posts and replying to specific sentaces or in teh case of when you started this, replying to specific words... teasy you keep claiming you're tyrin got get this back on topic, so perhaps you should stop trying to find hidden meaning in what I wrote, eh?


Oh and no it wasn't any usual suspects who argued with you on this. Grall and Paul are usually in the PS2 camp AFAIR.

Grall is usually in the Gamecube camp, and Paul is usually on the PS2 side of the fence. Despite that you conviently left out cybermer, who is king of the fans IMO. He always agrees with you, or you always agree with him.

Oh i missed cleaning that comment up, but what I said was that you specifically have problems with what I'm saying when others can say the same thing. A perfect example would be when function said "decent" as well but you obviously didn't see that.

Read through my posts, there's hardly any of what I'd call monster posts in there teasy. Hey, btw you started the argument here, then you can choose if you want to continue it with private messages. After all, I'm not the person that had a problem with what i wrote, so why would I initiate it? It was you and your crew, so it's up to you.
 
sorry about keeping getting into this, but... u know... can we get back to topic? if that's not too much to ask...

jesus i never even had arguments this big with my ex's..... :LOL:

i mean, really, WHAT IS THIS ARGUMENT ABOUT ANYWAY??? :D
 
This honestly is one of the dumbest arguments I've seen. He started by arguing over my use of the word "decent" and that i had a specific motive for saying that instead of something more postiive. At this point he's arguing about nothing, blames me for derailing the thread, and complains about me replying to his posts? :oops:

Yet he keeps replying... i really don't get it... :rolleyes:
 
I have not been here long, but in my short time I have to say I notice you will attack anything gamecube, and defend anything Xbox.. So far the only gamecube game I have seen you defend is SFA, one can guess why.. I will say this much, RS3 is ten times better a game than SFA, but that isnt saying much.
 
Sorry but I don't "attack" anything. I give my opinion on discussions and games I've played, but I think you must not see all of the things I say about games. You didn't notice that I say there was things about SFA that I didn't like? That I got bored with it and didn't start it up again? Because I played it more than SMS means I don't have anything bad to say about it?

I've got nothing bad to say about games I like, and I can be honest and say I do typically like more xbox titles than on gamecube. That's nothing more than a matter of taste, and sometimes I like a game for a while and then decide I don't afterwords. There's nothing wrong with that. At one point I liked SMS, but the more I think about it, the more I relized how it's gameplay was slighlty frustrating at times. Same thing with SFA when you're wandering around not knowing what you've missed.

I don't know if I'd call RS3 better than SFA, but as far as flight combat games go, I didn't really like it. btw, the flight sequences in SFA sucked.
