Can't play Undertale
Small capacity discs
It was a great console.
>>320594115
Which game was in the bundle ?
oh, andZIEG ZEON
>>320594183
this desu
>>320594115
its a rectangle
>>320594115
Can't run games 3 times as fast
Worse than its Playstation counterpart, just like N64 was.
>>320594183
this
>>320594327
How was the gamecube worse than the PS2?
Most multiplats look better on it.
>>320594115
The smaller discs limited the content that the game could contain. That's pretty much it, to be honest. If I'm not mistaken, which I might be, it was the strongest of the four consoles of that generation. Unfortunately, because of Nintendo's past history with 3rd parties in addition to the smaller disc size, 3rd party developpers didn't really want to deal with Nintendo anymore.
>>320594115
It's pink.

>The colour
>The shape
>The handle
>The disc size
>The third party support
>>320594115
it was pretty good, probably the best nintendo home console since the snes
>>320594405
It had much less games.
I had one, as well as a PS2 and I loved it. it had some awesome exclusives and good few multiplats too. Quite possibly the GOAT multiplayer console with those 4 ports and Super Smash Bros Melee
Pokemon Colosseum was boss.
>>320594115
The only unique game only the usual marioshit garbage.
>>320594492
>the controller
The best of the sixth generation. Well sized, not too heavy or light, a variety of buttons, etc. The only thing bad is the d-pad but no-one uses that anyway.
>the colour
you wut m8
>the shape, the handle
perfect for carrying around to little jimmy's house to play smash bros
>disc size
more portable
>third party support
it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. gamecube had dozens of good multiplats, most of which had their best version on this very system.

Yeah you're right just the d-pad, and the terrible z-button placement, and the terrible A-B button sizes, the tiny start button, the overall shape..
>>the colour
>you wut m8
It's nice if you're 5.
>>the shape, the handle
>perfect for carrying around to little jimmy's house to play smash bros
Said no-one ever.
>>disc size
>more portable
Yeah disc size is a major issue in the games industry.
>>third party support
>it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. gamecube had dozens of good multiplats, most of which had their best version on this very system.
lel. Such as?
How can people prefer this over the PS2? It almost feels unfair to compare the gamecubes library to the PS2s
>>320595447
Size doesn't matter. It's what's inside that counts.
>>320595826
The only gamecube exclusive I liked was WW. What games are you even thinking of? PS2 had the best library of any console
>>320594183
That makes the GC even better
it's not a dreamcast
>>320595958
the only PS2 games I have itch to replay nowadays are Budokai 3, Mercenaries and Destroy All Humans, the rest of them are so boring
I'm downloading a torrent with lots of games I haven't played yet on it though, maybe I'll find some stuff that isn't just "meh", but I won't hold my breath (ex: people praise Final Fantasy games to hell and back, and the only really good ones I've played are spinoffs and FFV, people praise Okami for being better than Zelda, yet it put me to sleep, and so on)
>>320596402
You have shit taste.
Play Grandia 2/3, Rogue Galaxy, Tales of Abyss or Radiata Stories if you want jRPGs.
If you want shooters play Everything or Nothing, MOH Frontline, Black, SOCOM games.
If you want fightan there is Tekken, Soul Calibur, KOF, Street Fighter.
>>320594183
Thank fuck for that.
>>320594293
A rectangle is a 2D shape.
You mean cuboid.
>>320594115
It's not a sphere.
What did people like about the gamecube controller? The d-pad, c-stick and button layout was objectively shit
It's red
>>320594227
What the hell were they thinking with those fucking microdiscs.
>>320594115
D-Pad and C-stick. Another Z-button missing
Small Disc size.
Otherwise it was good.
>>320596582
>Black
>SOCOM
I'm sorry anon, I can't have fun with shooters anymore after playing Perfect Dark, Time Splitters, Goldeneye, these generic shooters just don't cut it
Halo is also praised as the second coming of jesus, I played it, 2 and 3 with a friend a month ago on Xbone, oh my god they're boring
>shit weapons
>kill same 2~3 enemy types, move on to next area
>again
>again
>again
>boring music
>boring dialogue
at least graphics were impressive
I'll take a look at those RPGs though, since I'm playing through TotAon my 3DSand I'm enjoying it
also Everything or Nothing is not an exclusive, I played it on my Gamecube
>recommending Tekken
dis nigga srs
Soul Calibur is decent, but also on Gamecube, and KoF/SF I play on arcade emulators, not on the PS2
>>320596652
to this day I keep digging to try to find actually good games on that thing among these lists
I guess my standards are too high
>>320594115
CHAR
>>320594115
goes too fast & overheats
>Zeon scum
>>320594183
My only complaint.
>>320596834
They thought it'd stop piracy.
>>320594183
>supposedly the greatest console ever
>can't even run a 16-bit indie game
>>320596981
>good games
MGS2 +3, Jak, God of War, SOTC, ICO, Yakuza, ZOE, Ace Combat, God Hand, GTA etc
>>320594115
Very low resolution.
>>320594115
Shitty controller. Whenever I explain why it is shit I get ignored so I won't even bother this time (plus I'm at work and shouldn't really concentrate on this), but the controller is really pretty bad.
>>320594115
>>320597147
>MGS2
great game but only if you know about all the stuff behind it
>3
great game
>, Jak,
will eventually give it a shot
> God of War,
subpar
>SOTC,
artistic, yet shallow
> ICO, Yakuza, ZOE, Ace Combat, God Hand,
will try these out,
>GTA etc
San Andreas is probably what I spent the most time fucking around when I had the PS2
>>320597226
>those fat grubby sausage fingers
i hope that's not you
>>320597304
I agree now that gow is shit, but I loved it when I first played it.
You really need to try out those games you haven't played, they're all great. Now is a great time to get into yakuza especially.
What was shallow about SOTC to you?
>red
>>320597461
>Now is a great time to get into yakuza especially.
yeah, it's probably next on my list because of 0 and 5 being released
>What was shallow about SOTC to you?
follow the light, climb monster, pluge sword, repeat from step 2, I dropped it on the third monster I think
if I ever pick it up again, it'll be if I start making reviews to tear it a new oneI read about the ending being "bad" though, I like this kind of stuff
>>320597591
Yeah, the first few fights were simple but that was just to get you used to the game. They later become a lot more complex than climb and stab. The way that they designed each colossus to be unique in design, behavior and solution was great. The game picks up later when they stop being docile and start actively trying to kill you.
>I read about the ending being "bad" though, I like this kind of stuff
The ending is great and ties into ico nicely. Avoid spoilers at all costs though.
>>320594115
Poorly pushed 3rd party and non-Nintendo titles that were wonderful.
Bait and switch Zelda, I don't care if you view WW as great it put a lot of people off the console thinking they were getting the Links Adventure to OoT.
Crap dpad in a pit, crap second stick, 3 top buttons because why.
Should have used standard DVD for more game space.
Never got its online off the ground so Xbox got to lead the charge on that and taint it forever after on consoles with miserable shit and subpar shooters.
It came after the N64, whose barren library pushed more people to the Playstation. Seriously I nobody with an N64 that didn't give up a PS1 and nobody that went all in GCN as a result.
>>320594492
>the handle
Its not a handle its for cable management.
But really 4 controller ports, a host of great titles, some actual new stuff, and a great console. Its biggest crime was poor advertisement and losing too many fans to the PS1 in the previous gen.
>>320598278
>Links Adventure to OoT.
that was Majora's Mask
>>320598387
Link's Adventure was an attempt to continue Zelda and also increase its complexity. They made Link older, added some RPG elements, made it harder, etc.
MM did some of that, but it was fairy tale style story of a kid with magical masks. Granted a grim tale, but still.
People were looking forward to adult link horseback riding over Hyrule kicking some ass. WW while nice was yet another light adventure but now with sailing. It confused people.
>>320598712
well, you could argue that thematically what you're asking for was Twilight Princess, and that was on the Gamecube
Zelda never really had any groundbreaking changes after its transition to 3D, however
>>320598837
Actually yes TP is close, but was rather linear and way to late in the life of the system to really be the console seller that would have elevated the cube.
And I would agree. The leap to 3D was kinder to some old series relative to others, but I don't think any of the old classics made the jump very well. Zelda, Mario, etc. I mean sure they didn't go Sonic bad, but things were lost.
ugly color
otherwise perfect
>>320598837
>Zelda never really had any groundbreaking changes after its transition to 3D, however
I think making the first shitty 3D Zelda (MM) was pretty groundbreaking.
>>320594115
it's not a cube
>>320594420
Original Xbox was the powerful in the sixth gen
the handle
There are people in this thread who don't know about the "push to pop" disc eject button in the disc drive.
>>320594115
-Lack of games
-Dpad sucks
-Microdiscs weren't the best, why gimp a console for portability?
-C-Stick is a poor 2nd analog
-Z button is horrible
-L and R are pretty clunky, I don't even recall if they had potentiometers for analog input but I don't think so.
-Lacking in buttons total count
-Being so different and using discs, it had no backwards compat with n64 and suffered from loading times (the latter being one of the boastful Nintendo traits of the previous gen).
