Gamecube lags?

[Coarse]

Someone told me that the gamecube version of PSO lags online because the "Nintendo servers suck and there are 2934820394823908429038 people on them"

They said that my 1.5mb cable would act like a 28.8k connection while online with psogc

Someone told you a fib. Nintendo doesn't run the servers, and they're actually quite good. Except for the EU servers recently, they've been a bit laggy. 1.5Mb Cable will be great for PSO.

Someone told me I was a waste of oxygen.

Oh, it's because you are.

Lag is nearly undetectable while playing PSO. Simply because what you see is still generated by your Lamecube. So if you were to lag....everyone would be not moving, but the monsters would still be attacking you etc. It's weird like that.

I have a pretty good connection w/my cable modem and I still have lag. I am not as PC/server techno savvy as others, but I have heard from my friends @work who are, that if you run you Gamecube thru your PC it will run faster. This is how some ppl can use Xbox Live w/out a high speed connection, only their dial up connection. Haven't tried it yet, like I said, not quite PC/server techno savvy.

Regardless, I pay $50/month for my service here in Alaska, which is a step up from basic cable modem servie, and still have lag on Gamecube PSO and also my Xbox Live games on occasion. Not frequently, but occasionally. Have noticed more lag when playin on overseas servers, go figure.

I notice the LEAST amount of lag on JP servers
the next is US
and EU servers are Lagtastic...
This is from the East Coast however...

EU servers are laggy in Europe. -_-;; They might have inadvertantly activated a bandwidth throttler or something.

i've had 2 lagas in the 2 weeks that i've had pso online, and both happened on us servers. that may be because i've been having internet trouble anyways, who knows. even though i have comcast this stuff is happening (surprising, isn't it). i'm not sure what you're talking about with these 1.5mb cables and stuff, and i thought nintendo ran all the servers. man i'm confused. maybe it was sega. oh well, never mind. well hope that helps. -grandwarlock-

Flaming? From the weasel?! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Uhm sorry for this flame bait but, XBOX FANBOY BULLSHIT! How many times do I have to say it? Idiots who have no clue as to what they are talking about and Xbox fanboys invent lies like this all the time. I run dial up on PSO and i dont feal any lag.

[anwserman]

Ooooh.... Gamecube fanboy bullshit! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Because honestly, X-Box lags for me, too. All the time actually, and nobody even brought up PSO to the power of X... heh, heh. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Basically, it comes down to the server's maintainence and whether or not you have a good service provider. Nothing with the GC, nor an X-Box, nothing. It all just relies on the connection between the server and the console, along with the server itself.

When was there any point in time where somebody was being a fanboy? Get a grip on reality, its a video game. Not the end of the world. You are truly stupid. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Its true those theres many times the gamecube is mouthed.
Stuff like shit games , lag, it sucks or going out of the console business.. dispite some of it being proven untrue.

i mean geez of course its not as good as ps2 but why are people still going around saying its crap. Its actually got some of the best games. Multiplayer is its stronge point. and i think its a cool looking compact machine lol. And the best control designed ergonomically.
But thats enough of that.

While theres hardly any lag you say well i always get lag in EP 2 seabed in one of those big rooms with water on the ground and say 5 - 6 enimies appear with 4 players.. thats when it really lags. But i think its due to the memory not being able to handle or or something. I'm not a expert to how the game works or video card or anything so im just speculating. what do you think?

lamecube hah! i wish i was that creative...dood face it...xbox has no bragging rights...its the same game over and over with diffrent graphics...the only system that can talk is PS2...sure it has the worst graphics...but there is one that has the best...final fantasy 10...ps2 has all the best games...and GC has a few and xbox has like 2...but sense they came out for the PC...it now has none...
oh yes if GC is so bad why is its sales 143% better then xbox? then only 10% better then ps2...
well back to pso...
there is no lag in it...in any server or game...people confuse the frame rate drop as lag...its not...its just using to much of the GCs CPU then you get that...there shouldnt be anylag sense everything you see is on your GC/Xbox already...
so basicly its sending small packets saying this is here and thats there (well for quests and for other players...)
well ok i do get lag but its not like lag where you cant move and see it...its when people seam to be a diffrent place then they are...like when you see some one walk in to a wall and keep running...but nothing worse then that...

And I could care less about which console has what. The only Video game I play is DDR, which really isn't even a video game. I spend most of my day on the computer. Go Ragnarok!
