I don't know if this has been covered before (if the subject has already been discussed, feel free to scold me) or if it's in the wrong thread, but I just wanted to see what people's thoughts were on the G4 show, Xplay.

I'll start.

I hate this show now. I used to like it, but I hate it so much. They never seem to miss an opportunity to bash, roast, or in other ways make fun of just about any game that isn't American in origin. Surely you've seen their horrible jokes at the expense of games like Magna Carta, any Final Fantasy game, or (most recently) the new Beatmania game.

My current gripe comes from their review of Beatmania for PS2. All they did was make fun of the game and compare it to Guitar Hero, calling it a cheap rip-off, then they gave it a pitiful score of 2 out of 5.

Now, anybody with knowledge of Bemani games knows that Beatmania has been around since PS1. Also, they'd know that Guitar Hero itself is notoriously similar to a little game called, oh I don't know, Guitar Freaks!! I've known about Guitar Freaks since I was in high school and the game has about 11 or 12 mixes now. Guitar Hero is now working on it's first sequel.

I'm getting a little carried away now, so I'll leave it to everyone here. What are your thoughts on this show? Love it? Hate it? Indifferent? Here's your forum.

Let the games begin.

(Gee, I hope this post isn't in the wrong place... :sweat: )

EDIT: Oh, darn it. I didn't look in the Gamers Galore section, where there is already a thread about this. If a mod sees this, I'm sorry and feel free to delete this one?)

I really only watched it when they were before AU in the G4 line-up.The fact is until
they return AU to the line-up I'm kinda boycotting G4 for now.IMO they got rid of a lot of the best Tech Tv shows like Screen Savers and replaced them with mostly
junk(except Star Trek)which is why I am waiting for AU to return,it's one of the few shows still worth watching on G4.
End Rant.

The show is pretty good. The language is stupid, but once I get through the nast exterior, I see this show has a heart of gold.

No.

AU won't be back. They've expressed no interest in renewing it any time soon.

There is an Xplay topic in Gamers.

I don't really follow videogames much anymore ~ I don't have the time and feel there are things that interest me more.

I know. I'm waiting for a mod to delete it.

By the way, to everyone that posted here or will post here, don't. Take it to the topic in Gamers and let this thread die.
