Yep, I'm only reposting this thread under a different name...this actual thread (well, the bit that follows this anyway) has been up about a week and has only got 5 views - I have this theory that a lot of people HATE gamecube (Hey, I did before I played one) and have ignored it due to it's formal title which was "I borrowed a gamecube"...Anyway, I just wanted some feedback on the whole subject matter anyway.


READ ON -

Now, while I have to admit that the specs of this system are pretty cool (it's own graphics card and all), and it can pull off pretty awesome visuals, I myself wouldn't purchase one simply due to the fact that there's not a WHOLE LOT of games on it that
a: I can't play on pc or ps2
b: That I really wanna play anyway...
And then there's the whole thing where I can't yet get my hands on pirated games for it, but hey....

So, my friend who recently purchased an xbox gave me his gamecube for a while.
Good thing is was that the 3 games I PRIMARILY wanted to play were all in his collection, those being R.E.0, R.E.1.RM, and eternal dark: sanitys requiem, among his other games.

So, I've not yet got into the res evil remake...I have however been playing R.E.0, which I have to say looks great, and has added some originality to the series. The "two player" concept is also quite interesting...Strange game it is, but not quite as strange as eternal dark...I won't go into the many kinds of fucked up things this game attempts to do to your head, but rest assured, there's plenty. It works more or less like a more supernatural kinda resident evil, but that description doesn't really cut it...lots of scares, splatter and mindfucks going on.

Now I also checked out a game that I swore I would fucking hate.
It's called Zelda: The windwaker (or windwalker maybe?), anyway yeah, it's the cel-shaded one. All I have to say is that cel shading has sure come a long way since jet-set radio...I think I have found a game that I rate as highly as the original and the snes zelda...Very good game is all I'm gonna say, challenging, CRAZY looking and genuinely quite funny in some parts...

So yeah, I'm still not gonna buy a GC, but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to check these few titles out....I dunno, maybe if you guys can hire one out wherever you are, it'd be an idea, at least just for a look...

- B.

So yeah, are there any gamecube players out there that have played any of the games mentioned above either?
