So here's one for debate...

Both my best friend and each bought an Xbox, and we both got different games with the exception of Tony Hawk 2X. Now, he loves football, and I love hockey, so obviously he buys Fever and I get Hitz 2002. I also picked up Amped. He had Halo.

Now, he refuses to play games with me, because he and I have different games, and insists that it would be "no fun" because I would get the crap beat outta me in Fever, and he would get the crap beat outta him in Hitz. I insist that the fun is in playing the games, regardless of the score. The only game he will play will be NHL 2002 when it comes out, because we will both own a copy.

The reason this has me pissed is because I have had a Dreamcast since launch, and he never had one, but will play dreamcast with me, and even when one of us is getting blown out, it's fun. Why would this change with the Xbox?

Meadows...I now give you the floor to rebut this...

That's pretty lame. If he would play with you often enough, he wouldn't get his *** kicked, or vice versa. Sports games, especially arcadey ones like Hitz, aren't that difficult to get the hang of.

There's a simple answer here. Offer to trade games for awhile so that you can both become adept at each other's games; then play against each other.

just another case where DC rocks

I'm also preternaturally terrible at some games, so even after playing them for 100 hours, I'm still not any better.

Holy thread bump Batman!

Seriously, where did this come from?

Pretty cool having a forum that holds posts going back to 2001. I'm sure it will be an important historic treasure one day.
