Calvin Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I was reading a thread over in the GameCube forum asking if he should buy it. He wanted to know if there was enough good games for it & enough good games coming out for it. So I got to wondering...how many games does it take for you to feel happy with owning that system? NOTE: I am only talking about current systems. I bought a Jaguar for 2 games - & that justifyed my purchase for me. Of course, I only paid $29 for that system :green: In my case - I'd say 6-10 games that I buy & enjoy make it a good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugms Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 This is a hard poll for me to vote on. I only own an Xbox (so far) and my expectations for this system were and still are pretty high. I'm counting my games that I play over and over (online or not) ..... I have eight that I think are good games. I still want more out of my Box before I can be completly saticfied with it. Also knowing about some of the games coming out in the near future wants me to expect even more! Well, that and I'm greedy :green: I'm gonna vote 11-20 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Depends on the title really. My Cube is here because of Resident Evil though, I'll tell you that much . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain rising Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I've only got 7 for my GameCube (30+ for the X, and a mere 10+ for the PS2), but even if I had to get rid of all my Cube games except Metroid Prime, I'd still consider it justified . It's a bit harder for the Xbox, since I got it at the original U.S. price, but I was quite happy with Halo and PGR for a while. So I'll go with 1-5.

Chris Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I voted in 1-5 because I only have 4 or 5 GameCube games, but am still very happy with that purchase and will continue to be even if I never get any more games for it (as unlikely as that may be). In fact, when I got my Xbox I was very happy with it and all I had for quite a while was Halo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatakinns Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I don't need to justify ... if I spend the money on it, and it entertains me for hours on end, then that is all the justification I need. I bought a Genesis only for MK. A friend gave me a few others when his system conked out, but MK is still the only game I ever bought for the system. I lived in an apartment with some room-mates and space was scarce, I know most of you will wince at this, but my TV was only 13 inches, but I had a blast playing that game. I later added my PS to the mix, and again, there were very few games out that interested me. As long as I pay my bills and have a little money in the bank for emergency situations... I don't have to justify anything as long as have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Super Mario 64 and Goldeneye 007 are enough for my N64. Super Mario Sunshine and Ikaruga (and now F-Zero) are enough for my GameCube. Soul Calibur is enough for my Dreamcast. DDR and Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution are enough for my PS2. I usually end up with 10-20 games per system, a small handful of which are true classics. In the end, if I'd only bought the classics, that would have been enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I'm a hardware whore, its nothing for me to own a console and just own a few games. In many cases I've bought a system way before ever purchasing a single game for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Voted for 1-10. Not dependant so much on number of games as perceived value. I think I would've been happy with my DC with only Soul Caliber, UFC, NFL2k and Worms. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 6-10 I think. That amount was enough to justify a Gamecube and X-box for me, and at the time of purchase I based this on titles forthcoming. Exclusive titles help, which is of course the main draw of the Cube for me. In some ways I regret not demanding a few more must haves on the PS2 for me. I like my PS2, but it's my least played console. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel P Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I also voted 6-10. I have 17 games for the Cube and would be just as happy if I only had half of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I have 17 games for the Cube and would be just as happy if I only had half of them. In that case, send half of 'em to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
