What was it like to have a GameCube in 2002-2005?

>>716060624 (OP)
disc read error
an error has occurred
fsod

Fun

>>716060624 (OP)
Depressing.
No games.
Everyone else is going online but you.
>hey bros come over and play smash bros?
>nah faggot we're doing split-screen online halo 2
Marketing starts getting weird and "I'll show the big kids I'm one of them!"
If you didn't have a PS2 or Xbox at that point you were missing the rest of the generation.

>>716060785
nigger if you had a gamecube you had a ps2

>>716060624 (OP)
It was like playing video games you idiot.

>>716060624 (OP)
THPS3, Smash, Monkey Ball, Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, Sonic Adventure 2 (and DX but it sucked), Cel Damage
Carrying it by the handle to walk to a friends house.
Leaving it on for days to evolve chao.
Eventually getting a disk read error that never resolved itself.
Imagining that the gba link cables will be awesome and then finally getting some only to ignore them.
>>716060785
This is a fake story.

idk i wasnt born yet

>>716060624 (OP)
tendies got the worst of the chastisement from xbots and snoys, because the PS2 dominated the gen and xbox was a middling experience. the GCN didn't have enough third party support, but it was still an overall great console with some classics of its own. it's just that it can't compare to the PS2 and xbots will never admit that they lost.

>>716060624 (OP)
Smash melee, wind Waker and double Dash were amazing but Halo mogged everything else on it

>>716060624 (OP)
Depressing if you owned an N64 and expected Rareware to carry another Nintendo console gen

>>716060785
Halo 2 wasn't out yet. SOCOM and FFXI were like the only games being played online on console and if that's your memory you gotta be like 45 years old +. Which could be possible, but that's a completely different experience than I had.

*breaths on the disc and rubs shirt on it*

>>716061007
Yeah let me just pop in my copy of burnout 3 and Devil May Cry on Gamecu-
Oh wait. No, you had the faggot nigger console with no games. The Gamecube was a miserable experience and small moments of light like Link being in soul calibur 2 or re4 were met with missing out on dozens of other games, no online, the shittiest controller, no gta, no relevant games, no good multiplayer games after the first year, nothing.

Dolphinzoomers need not apply.

>>716061510
You're too young to have been there so you don't know how big R63, Mech Assault, XBL was in general.

>>716060624 (OP)
GC gets lionized now but it really felt like it had no games. Plus everyone called (me) a faggot for not having Xbox/PS2. gotta remember that online gaming was catching on and Nintendo was getting left behind.

>>716061727
when it came to multiplats, you had 3 choices.
>ps2 version, cheap, worst port
>gamecube version, most expensive, better than ps2 port
>xbox version, cheaper than ps2, better port than gamecube

>>716060624 (OP)
Absolute pain and suffering. No one wanted to play with you so you were stuck autistically playing break the targets in melee, and if a friend did get stuck coming over for a sleepover or something they'd be annoyed by how impossible it was to keep up with you. While everyone else was having fun playing games online you were stuck playing the shittiest ports of all the consoles on the crappiest first party controller ever made. It really wasn't until resident evil 4 came out that people even wanted one.

>>716060624 (OP)
Pretty great actually. Spent countless hours with friends playing melee and nightfire. Games ran at 60 fps and looked better then PS2. Exclusives were fantastic and groundbreaking. To this day it's one of the best systems ever released and could be bought for one hundred bucks back then which made it the most affordable as well.

Nowadays you got snoys trying to rewrite history and claim it was bad but that's just typical cope that PlayStation fans are known for.

>>716061852
>>ps2 version, cheap, worst port
Incorrect, Gamecube versions were usually the worst because they had to remove mechanics to work on the controller, had no online play and were missing graphical effects. They also came out months later. You'd know this if you weren't born after 2001.

>>716062004
sega ps2 games were worse than gamecube or xbox

>>716060624 (OP)
i never had any issues with it
it was great, cool games, between that and the gameboy i was eating good
some of my favorite games are on it
i heard about the ps2 later on and i bought one when i was 20, was fun too but i don't think anything on it beats metroid prime 2 and melee

>>716060624 (OP)
some gems inbetween absolutely fucking nothing
i enjoyed mine, because metroid prime is the tits, twilight princess is the tits and eternal darkness is the motherfucking tits
easily the worst of the 6th gen though
controller was ok. very comfy but the layout and weird ass Z kinda fucked it up

>>716060624 (OP)
Slightly depressing
It had a bunch of good games but if you, like me, read gaming mags that wrote reviews on every platform every issue would look like this:

PS2 - Reviews:
18 games

Xbox - Reviews:
14 games

Gamecube - Reviews
3 games

Granted the games were still very good and we got timeless shit like RE4 and RE1Make it still felt pretty unfair being shafted two consoles in a row as a Nintendo main

>>716060624 (OP)
Phenomenal. I loved:
Mario Kart double dash
Kirby air ride
007:Nightfire
TLoZ:WW
Super Mario Strikers

I loved it.
>Waking up at 4am to play Metroid Prime in the dark for a few hours before school
>Smash Bros with the bros
>Double Dash
>Pikmin
>Tales of Symphonia
>Master Quest
>Luigi's Mansion
>Twilight Princess
>Bomberman Generation (yeah it's a big dumb baby game but i liked it)

hell yeah

Got the cheapest of the big consoles at that time far and away (going for $100 as a full bundle because lol the console flopped), first-parties were magical but the third-party support was awful because of the controller scheme making things a bit harder coming off of PS2 or Xbox (no clicking sticks, L1 or select buttons)

First parties were SO fucking good it made up for it, there's a reason Gamecube exists more in the American consciousness than the PS2 despite it

>>716062346
I forgot Agent Under Fire
and PN03 which isn't very much fun but I liked looking at Vanessa

>>716061659
>xbone tard is illiterate
As usual

>>716060624 (OP)
It was fucking great for me as a child without internet access who didn't know about other consoles and only had friends with nintendo consoles. Pokémon colosseum, animal crossing, amazing island, mario sunshine, so many good games. Spending hours making monsters in amazing island with my one other friend who had the game was probably the most fun I'll ever have in my life.

>>716061659
>you don't know how big R63, Mech Assault, XBL was in general.
You must be a larping gen alpha

>>716062346
One of these days I need to play Metroid Prime

>>716061659
I conceded that you may be over the age of 45. I'm in my 30's, and have no need to posture online.
If I were you, I'd stop pretending to be an old fuck and instead embrace your zoomerisms.

>>716061659
Noooo not the goyslop open world games and online slop... imagine missing out on that...

You never even owned a gamecube. Dolphin isn't a good reference to how it was.

Tony Hawk games were all shit on cube too.

>>716063095
>Tony Hawk games were all shit on cube too.
Underground 1&2 preform better on GCN than PS2.

I pretty much just used mine as a Melee machine for me and my friends. I had moved on to Playstation and PC gaming around this gen.

>>716060624 (OP)
I played fzero all day, that's pretty much it

>>716060624 (OP)
Exteme fun, I was either playing melee with older brothers, Metroid Prime, or Wind Waker.

>>716063095
No rebuttal? Nice concession. I'll take my victory.
Go back to resetera or wherever else you're from that pretends to play games.

>>716060624 (OP)
Absolute peak comfy.

>>716062735
i think you honestly should
it's legit great

>>716060624 (OP)
I had so many shitty licensed games as a kid

>>716060624 (OP)
It was pretty kino. I actually enjoyed a good amount of third party games on the system, but of course I focused on the games Nintendo was releasing. The droughts weren't as bad as the Wii U era, but they were noticeable for folks that didn't really enjoy the Mario Party games (ie, me and plenty others). 2005 was actually a decent year but it died that fall/winter.
>Resident Evil 4
>Star Fox Assault
>Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
>Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
>Killer7
>Mario Strikers
>Mario Superstar Baseball
>Pokemon Gale of Darkness
Time Splitters Future Perfect, Prince of Persia Two Thrones, Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Harvest Moon Another Wonderful Life, Geist, Battallion Wars, Mario DDR, Need for Speed Most Wanted... it helped if you had a PS2 for JRPGs admittedly.

>>716063095
why is it inconceivable to /v/irgins that people owned gamecubes and liked them?

>>716064030
They're too brown and therefore low IQ to imagine how white people lived in the 2000's.

>>716060624 (OP)
I had a gba, gc and xb
My brother had a ps2 and psp
It was the greatest gaming years of my life
Melee, mkdd, tekken 3, doa u2 and 3, katamari damaci, viewtiful joe, okami, lost kingdoms, wind waker, capcom v snk 2, mvc 2 (xb), metroid zero mission, pokemon before they stopped completely trying, kirby air ride, soul calibur 2, sonic (A1, A2, heroes, mega AND gems collection), ffx, ssx tricky, thps 3 (and to a lesser extent 4), tetris worlds, fable, and halo 2 LAN
I know op specifically asked for gamecube, but it really was the greatest gen for gaming as a whole

>>716060624 (OP)
It was amazing to have one as a kid. I vividly remember playing smash bros with my friend who came over and also playing Dragon Ball Budokai.

Lots of fun really

>>716064809
Pokemon colosseum was the shit for me when i was young. To this day no other pokemon game can compare.

insane amounts of pussy everyday
my dorm had melee, double dash
we invented beerio kart
our frat was the best, summer of '04 Lacey I'll never forget you "want to be a doctor" haha "wants to help Africans" shutup you pick Toad retard

>>716063309
Incorrect. They also look worse and you have a god awful dpad to contend with.

>>716066010
Load Underground 2 and start classic mode on PS2, watch Barcelona screen tear and drop FPS like it's nothing.

>>716064809
This is how everyone in this thread experienced gamecube. Dolphin with hacks, enhancements, 1080p60 in games that would regularly drop to the lower 20s and below in framerate.

>>716066161
You were supposed to play on xbox, the superior multiplat platform.

>>716060624 (OP)
like playing zoids battle legends with my cousins and thinking it was the best thing ever

>>716066454
>in games that would regularly drop to the lower 20s and below in framerate.
Which ones?

It was fun. I'm feeling nostalgic....

I remember my launch game was Rogue Squadron 2. That was also the first 6th gen game I played. I'm not sure why but it's such a vivid memory playing it in Kmart while my mom was like "are you done time to go we need to get going" and I was all "nuh yeh wuddeh heh".

Super Monkey Ball was another early pickup. Not sure why. I can't imagine seeing a ball rolling game and saying "aw hell yeah" but it became like a "family game". Even my mom would play it from time to time and my sister and I loved the mini games.

Double Dash and Smash Bros you know. Console essentials. Played those heavily. I remember at the end of Double Dash to finish the game you had to do every race in a row. I expected Mario Kart World to have something similar due to its obsession with connecting tracks into long races and then it just... didn't?

But Resident Evil was the big dog for me on this console. Remember I was Nintendo only before this. Blind rented the Resident Evil Remake at Blockbuster. Not knowing it was a remake or what Resident Evil even is and I just got obsessed with this game. I was doing a run every day. Invisible enemy hard, real survival, knife only, etc. Then Resident Evil 4 came out (never ever Gaystation Poo) and became another eternal top 10.

Had to get PN03 because Resident Evil guy made it. Always thought that game was treated a little unfairly, I like it. Had to get Killer 7 because Resident Evil guy was connected to it. Unlike anything I had seen up until that point. Blew my basedtendie brain apart. Still a big favorite.

Playing Gauntlet Dark Legacy, that's a good one.

But yeah it was good time.

>>716060624 (OP)
If you liked Mario party and had some friends who enjoyed it too, you were eating better than any other local multiplayer fan. The series rode its peak for a long time with 4-7.

>>716067849
I can't think of any conceivable reason anyone would want to play 4 mario party games.

>>716060624 (OP)
good times

>>716060624 (OP)
>>716064809
Some of the best games of the sixth generation in no particular order:
RE4, was on gamecube but the PS2 version had more content.
GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, not on gamecube.
MGS3, not on gamecube
Deus Ex, not on gamecube
Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, not on gamecube
Half Life 2, not on gamecube
Halo 1, 2, not on gamecube
God of War 1, 2, not on gamecube
Wind Waker, gamecube exclusive
Hitman Blood Money, not on gamecube
KOTOR 1 and 2, not on gamecube
Eternal Darkness, gamecube exclusive
Prince of Persia, on all consules
Final Fantasy X, not on gamecube
Morrowind, not on gamecube

So out of around 20 games you've got two gamecube exclusives, two that were on every console and 16 that you needed to buy another console to play.

>>716060624 (OP)
You were subsisting on filler and slop but it wasnt that bad because you were blissfully unaware. You had your little Nintendo Power and you lived in a bubble basically. Nothing you were playing was good compared to the contemporary options but you had no clue and enjoyed the branding and graphics

>>716060776
I went through three gamecubes because they kept having issues with reading the disc. At least they were cheap by the end of that generation.

>>716068331
These are what journalists established as "the best" but even for niche options the ps2 was unbeatable and the gamecube had little to offer.

>>716068348
I've often had this theory that the reason some people pretend shovelware like battle for bikini bottom are 10/10 legendary games is because they had a gamecube and didn't know no better.

>>716068667
objectively impossible
everyone knew about the ps2. i'd wager everyone that had a gamecube either also had a ps2 or had a friend with a ps2 just by merit of how fucking unpopular gc was

>>716060624 (OP)
Absolutely kino.
The GBA player was also unfathomably comfy.

>>716068936
Incorrect. Plenty of underage grew up with just a gamecube, because their parents saw mario on the box and thought "this would be a good baby sitter for my kid. The guy who works here said it has mario from the 80s!" A child begging for the sponge bob army game would be swept up in it, blissfully unaware of far better games.

>>716060624 (OP)
Man I remember playing the shit out of the lotr return of the king game with my buddy
good times

Weird thing for a zoomer to say. I babysat you.

>>716069225
Gamecube had great games.
Youre some kind of ultra incel retard tbqh, who the fuck imagines an alternate reality like this in the service of a console war on a mongolian basket weaving board KEK

>>716069414
>Gamecube had great games.
Lets not get too hasty here, it had some games (not many! Fewer than Dreamcast!) but great? Lets be real here brother...

>>716060785
>online
barely anyone was doing online shit with that generation. And xboxfags basically just had halo back then. Most kids just had gamecube and a cheap mini newer PS2 anyway, there wasn't even a console war back then. Console wars really started when PS3 MSRP was like $600 (un fucking real at the time, and scalpers made sure it was even higher) and no one could find Wiis. Consoles became a significant investment in that next gen, and unless you were a super rich spoiled fuck you could really only pick one.

>>716069225
>>716068667
This is true. It didn't help that games journalism was even worse than it is now somehow with the misinformation. As a kid all I read was Nintendo Power and GoNintendo and I knew nothing about the other consoles. Those propaganda rags judge every game on a curve relative to Nintendo games. But recently I've been exposed to the ps2 through pcsx2 and it was a much, much better console in terms of the games. You have to cut through the journalist bs to find them but they are there in droves

>>716069859
Everyone was doing online gaming that generation, just not Nintendo. Starting off your post with misinformation is a great way to get me to ignore the rest of it.

>>716061879

holy fuck steam port when?

My freshman year of college was the autumn of 2003. I used to set my Gamecube up in the common lounge and just hang out and play Smash Bros, or Soul Calibur or F-zero with whomever wandered by for hours on end. Was a lot of fun and the easiest way to make friends imaginable.

>>716069974
Mainstream hits like Devil May Cry had no answer on Gamecube. That's the big thing.

>>716070025
just having online as a feature did not mean any large amount of people were actually doing anything online. The Dreamcast had online too but absolutely fucking 0 people used it ever. No one was playing anything online except to any significant degree outside of computer games back then.

>>716060776
>>716068386
Yeah they were pretty quick to break. You better off using a wii to play game cube games honestly.

>>716062205
THIS

>>716070025
How many people actually connected their PS2 online. It wasn't many.

>>716060785
This is the truth. Gamecube was the console for "that" kid
>>716061879
Like this guy, melee fans have always been weirdo's

>>716060776
I am 90% sure playing Phantasy Star Online and abusing Telepipes is what killed my first one's lens.

>>716070320
There's no way the guy you're responding to isn't some retarded zoomer that wasn't even around in that generation. I came from an upper middle class neighborhood and I didn't know one fucking kid that ever used online features until the 360/ps3/wii generation.

>>716070265
>but muh contrived scenario
It's all spelled in the difference between Xbox sales and Gamecube sales. Halo 2 was the biggest launch of all time. What on Gamecube was even close to that?

>>716070320
Millions more than Gamecube had online.

I lived in a GameCube neighborhood. Everyone had one and no one had a ps2. So I was pretty surprised when I found out the ps2 had outsole the NGC by 130 million units.

>>716070535
140m*

>>716070483
I did use my PS2 online though. Jak X, Timesplitters Future Perfect, and Resisent Evil Outbreak were well under the "dead game" threshold. I don't think Outbreak ever had more than 400 connected at once and that was only when it was new.

I keep seeing these discussions like it was commonplace and Gaycube had to step it up but I didn't know one other person who went through the hassle for this shit ass online service.

>>716070920
What you didn't play Tony Hawk, SOCOM, or even Ratchet online?

>>716070182
Yeah if you go into hardcore game genres it really becomes laughable. I grew up on starfox assault and donkey konga while the ps2 kids had gradius v and beatmania. Shits sad to think about

>>716071136
Im not really a skateboarder (was born with a severe spinal deformity) or into military sims.

I didnt know Ratchet had online? Which game?

>>716071381
Lmao no "PS2 kid" played Gradius V. They all played GTA.

>>716071381
>donkey konga
Worth remembering who developed Konga. Taiko is a far better game and doesn't have children's songs in it.

>>716060624 (OP)
I had PlayStation because Im not a homosexual.

>>716060624 (OP)
I loved mine. I was in middle school or late elementary at the time so a lot of kids were trying to be big boy grown ups by clowning on it but anyone really into games was having a lot of fun on it. It was the best gaming generation of all time, OP. Even the lows of GC (and all the consoles that weren't dreamcast for that matter) were pretty fucking good. I got my PS2 late in that gen but I pretty much played both side by side. What I really love about the GC though was the GBA player, I fucked so hard with that. Getting to play all my GBA games at home too on the TV was awesome. I still also consider the GCC to be one of the greatest controllers ever made in terms of ergonomics. Hard to say what my highest playtime game was. Probably Melee, but Animal Crossing and my multiple play throughs of Metroid Prime have to be high up there. Also spent a lot of time fucking around in barren multi-player maps for Metal Arms Glitch in the System just because the robot destruction was so good. Don't let anyone tell you that no one liked this console or it's all zoomer revisionism just because it was a financial failure. There was a lot of love for the GC and this generation in general at the time. Is it a little rose tinted? Sure. But overall there's a reason so many games from it are beloved to this day, many of them simply graduating from cult classic to widespread acclaim. Something similar that also happened to game series on the PS2 like just about any MegaTen game. Lot of rediscovery going on with 6th gen now that the zoomers are older.

>>716068936
>"blissfully unaware of far better games."
Such as.

>>716071674
Why a period over a question mark?

>>716071635
you had a single console because you were a faggot

>>716060624 (OP)
I had that exact GameCube and enjoyed Melee, Pokemon Colosseum and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle the most.

>>716061617
I have never ever seen this error. Just like I've never seen disc error on PS2

>>716071921
i never got a problem with the gamecube but i did saw my brother ps1-ps2 die

Lots of Sonic Adventure 2, Super Monkey Ball, Smash Bros Melee, and Rogue Squadron. It was an alright time.

Everyone will always tell you we were depressed we didn't have GTA3 or something, but I would have bought a PS2 if I wanted GTA3.

I got this for 150€
MP4 is gonna cost me 400 more

>>716071913
Pikmin 2 was also great

>>716061659
>only want to play PS2 games
>buy a GC instead
Why? Were you retarded?

I bought a GC to play Nintendo games, primarily. I was very happy with it.

Played a lot of picrel with the bros. Excellent jiggle physics.

>>716072126
i remember i got re4 for 100€ with a gamecube
i was just like "well 50€ for the console and 50€ for the game whatever

>>716060624 (OP)
Horrible. The shitcube is easily the worst console ever made

Just at the faggy Fischer price controller. The missing top button, c-stick, and d-pad are atrocious. Ports like SSX had had entire movesets gutted because of how dogshit the controller is.

No online support. No cd support. No dvd support. Just the little gay clit cage cubie discs that hold the shovelware games released for this thing.

Utterly mogged in games in practically any genre. FFX is better than any shartcube RPG. Any mascot platformer from the 6th gen is better than shitshine. DMC3 is better than any Shartcube action game. GTA, Ace Combat, Silent Hill, Burnout 3, I could go on and on. The shartcube’s library boils down to an inferior beta version of RE4 with better cutscenes, shovelware party games, and the worst 3D mario

This entire things identity is upheld by transgender mario shitshine speedrunners, smelee groomer conventions, and being a tumorous add-on to the wii when you remember it can play the miniscule and pathetic shitcube library after you soft mod it.

Cubies will attempt to gaslight you into believing this piece of shit has any worth with the heckin hardcore unaltered RE4 difficulty (lol) and gba player (it’s pretty fucking pathetic to rely on a standalone handheld peripheral to have some good games) or whatever, but really both of those games and features are done better elsewhere. The shitcube has nothing. Worst Nintendo console and worst 6th gen console

RE4
Double Dash
REmake
Beyond Good and Evil
Metroid Prime
SC2 with link
A couple shitty Zelda games
Pikmin

did I miss anything good

It was the last good nintendo console that wasn't a handheld.

>>716072621
Even less? Insane!

>>716072704
Gamecube sales were fine. PS2 won because thirdies used it as a dvd player for the next 2 decades, simple as.

lol find a better cope you fat retard. even capcom wanted to get their games off of the shitcube ASAP because of how badly they were flopping. the shitcube nearly bankrupt nintendo and capcom because cubies play nothing but the 4-5 generic mario and zelda games

you retards never cease to amaze me

i knew 5 people who convinced their mother to buy a ps2 only because "you can play dvd movies!"

>>716073653
cubie the only people you know are the 5 obese latinx you groom out over smelee with. ps2 had better games, more games, and higher software attachment. your anecdotals of nothing but cope

>>716073909
>cubie
>implying i didn't got all consoles unlike you brand loyalist retards
the only one coping is you brazilian monkey

DVD player got plenty of early adopters, sure. Many of these people would go on to buy multiple years of Madden, the GTA games, Tony Hawk titles, and several of the myriad racing games (when the genre wasnt practically dead like it is now). A lot of people were also super impressed by graphics in FFX and MGS2. I prefer the GCN but Sony did a ton of things right with PS2. Naughty Dog put out Jak 1 just a little over a month after GTA3 released; something the younger audience could enjoy when the system wasn't being used for that or DVD's. Just a few months later, KH came out to massive success... and later that year? Vice City. Good release schedule with something for everyone.

It speaks volumes to the actual quality of the PS2 library that a downgraded port is defended ardently 20 years later.

My gamecube didn't even see that much use before it started spitting disc read errors

Pikmin 1&2, TTYD, Luigi's Mansion, Sunshine, Wario World, Air Ride, a number of great games. I was that kid that played Melee and Mario Party alone just messing around with the singleplayer content and extra modes and stuff. Me mum would play Double Dash with me in the back where my controller may or may not have been plugged in, pretty sure we unlocked everything once or twice. Good times, good memories.

>>716060776
one time i tried the toilet trick to fix my disc and it worked
do you think second hand console owners clean out the toilet water residue?

>>716060624 (OP)
it was pretty sweet, played a fuckton of TimeSplitters 2, SSBM and Tony Hawk Underground 2.
>>716072215
I fucking love this game, I'd suck dick for a new Bloody Roar

>>716074565
Pretty much. But this board has a heavy anti nintendo bias.

>>716075106
it speaks volumes that cubies think a few cutscenes makes their shitty beta version better. Shitcube is ground zero for everything wrong with games; cutscene moviegame obsession, trannies (ask any tranny their fav game, it’s always shit waker, smelee, and shitshine), lgbt pandering (gaycube was made specifically to pander to faggots with its purple design) etc

>>716060624 (OP)
It was fucking awesome, the amount of good game that console had was insane. Most people I knew had a gamecube, we had 2 friend who had ps2s but most of us called em poorfags

>>716075407
PS2 was humiliated every time a game was ported to it. Absolute trash hardware.

>>716075506
>post the same game but one version has better controls, widescreen support, and more content
glad you agree the shitcube is irrelevant and even its best games were made better on the superior platform, cubie

>seething retard MINDBROKEN by the LUDOcube
Every time

>>716075684
>ps2groid is literally blind
Inferior T50 eyes.

>>716075780
>cubie is a fat hermaphrodite cultist
ps2 wins more gameplay, more features, better controls

go watch a movie if you care about cutscenes faggot OH WAIT YOU CANT LOL

>>716075992
More incoherent brown ramblings from the favela.

>>716076059
more estrogen riddled screeching from the cubie sitting in his sao paulo hrt clinic

>>716076250
>sao paulo
Blatant projection.

>>716060776
bullshit
i worked at a used vidya store at the time, and we did repairs
the backroom was stacked to the ceiling with broken ps2s, there were far fewer but still fair number of broken xboxes, and maybe a couple of broken cubes

>>716076292
kek did that one hit too close to home, cubie? did you latinx finally beat nintendo’s anti piracy to be able to burn those little gay discs so you can groom kids with smelee?

>>716066010
They definitely don't "look worse" on GCN. The gamecube had better graphics capabilities than the PS2 anyway.
The PS2 games were still superior though.

>>716073653
They were smarter than you. That's why they cleverly socially engineered adults to do their bidding.

>>716072704
>reddit spacing, therapy terms, appeal to authority
yeah im thinkin ur gay

>>716060624 (OP)
i was excited for it but it sucked compared to the ps2 and xbox.
sure, people can lie to you and pretend it was cool, but it wasnt. it sucked and nobody cared about it.
in fact, the gamecube game library is what pushed me into PC gaming more, so i can thank the GC for my summers playing warcraft 3 custom maps and ARC.
it's at best, an okay pic for 2nd choice of console when the ps2 clearly dominated and had the best games.

I'm gonna go wager a guess and say that 80% of replies in this thread were made by the same 2-3 autists.

>>716060624 (OP)
Jesus I just remembered how short GC's time was as a console gen. These gens used to be so short lived back then.

I like Gamecube AND PS2
>this infuriates the poorfag

>>716060624 (OP)
It was a nice secondary console, I only used it when I had friends over since I didn't own a multitap for the ps2. As a kid, having 4 ports is a game changer and avoids all the squabbling over who gets to play next. Most people had a Gamecube because it was so cheap so they'd bring over their own controller as well.
Not once did I ever play solo games on it though.

>>716075496
kek good effort bait

>>716078148
cubie trannys like Cosmo Wright used to raid /v/ with his discord full of groomed kids every time he started a new wind waker or sunshit stream. it’s obviously that same group of subhumans defending the shitcube itt

>>716060624 (OP)
I always had every console from every generation and I didn't give a singular shit about the Pee Ass 2 while I really gravitated towards the Basedcube.
Even as a child I knew Snoy games were caca while Nintendo made nonstop bangers.
As we can see today, the mainstream audience eventually caught on to this, but I was definitely ahead of the curve. I chalk it up to my superior wits.

>>716060624 (OP)
Kino but everyone was acting like a faggot about it and pretending PS2 and Xbox were somehow better despite them having worse games

>>716078771
the only thing i was against was the xbox and because the only thing worth playing there was ninja gaiden, everything else was shit
doesn't help i ended being right and microsoft ruined the console market AND the pc market

>>716078148
I think its the same guy that's been seething over the Gamecube these past few days, the moment i read "shitcube" I knew it was him.

>>716061727
I had the opposite experience with online though, since Gamecube had the best way to play PSO. Also playing Double Dash online using the Warp Pipe tunneling service was kino and way better than playing any faggoty xbox game online.

>>716078148
This thread has every person who ever boughted a shitcube and it's still getting BTFO

>>716075381
>But this board has a heavy anti nintendo bias.
Are you fucking kidding me? You aren't allowed to criticize ELDER GAWD NINTENDO on here.

>>716079896
Considering i see daily nintendo bad threads and entire essays about why their games sucks compared to random playstation or pc game, i beg to differ.

Lot of GameCube hate this thread for some reason. Its weird because making fun of a gen 6 console is like hating the sitting chapel because the Sagrada Senpaiília is better.

>>716073909
There were no "cubies" back then you retarded zoomer. Like I said, everyone just had both. There was no depression, no recession, and electronics were relatively cheap. 90% of all of my friends that had gamecubes had a ps2 as well.

>>716080682
>m-maybe if i replay to the same post again an hour after already getting BTFO, he won't know its me and i can inflate the shitcube's popularity
not working cubie. you must have a humiliation fetish to want to do this again

>>716080348
>for some reason
It's just your usual third world chimpout at white people things.

>>716060624 (OP)
Felt like you had a piece of the tech future. Getting a new issue of Nintendo Power and getting hyped for the next big thing coming out. Wishing a decent Pokemon game would be announced, or a Golden Sun game or something. The discs were cute. Shutting the lid was so satisfying. So was pressing the shoulder triggers. Every sleepover, it was required to bust out Melee or Soul Calibur II or Bloody Roar PF.
>>716060776
The time I got a blowjob from my boyfriend with ToS paused in the background.

>>716060624 (OP)
we used to dude weed and play smash and soul calibur at our friends house he always picked link

>>716070030
Played that map with the rc helicopters endlessly

>>716079890
It's the same brazilian fag who calls Switch a "shitch". Plus, notice how he uses small letter "s" instead if capital when writing both shitch and shitcube.
>but anon, you just told him to fix this and pretend he's another anon when he replies to himself
He is physically and mentally unable to write it with an S.

splitting my vidya time between PS2, Game Cube and GBA was kino

>>716068386
>snoys are STILL reposting this fake image, year after year after year
sad that they have to make up fanfiction to shitpost with

>>716060776
My launch GC still works fine even today.
Stop manhandling your electronics, Jamal.

>>716060624 (OP)
my friend lived across the street from school so every lunch we would do 4 player smash bros games. good times.

>>716081961
i took mine on camping vacations regularly and never had a single disc reading error
the only console where i had those issues was ps1, both my FF7 and FF8 got stuck in cutscenes...

>>716081503
idk every brazillian I've ever known loves the gamecube
>>716080682
Maybe we weren't called cubies but that gen had some of the strongest tribalism - how do you think ports even got funded?
Maybe you had all 3, I had a ps2 and a gamecube but it was not the norm.
If you were an adult at the time, or had a job, you probably had a different experience - but that makes you like 50.

>>716081503
dude its a shitty board
not a fucking job to be a grammar nazi

>>716082920
Go ahead. Write it with a capital letter.
You know you can't.
