>>217255572I associate the PS2 with unsavory britbongs playing FIFA and Gran Turismo so it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

>>217255707that's paul pierce on the cover retard
>>217255810Fucking sucks because I prefer MS’s console designs over Sony’s. At least I got my Series X at the original price.
I have a top-tier gaming rig but at the end of the day I am still using an ancient wired 360 controller so maybe xbox had the last laugh
>>217255554>not a single sony game in sightsonyponies...
We must go back
>>217255572Fuckers like you make me hate the PS2 even though it's a great system.
>>217256080>every PS game is sold outmicrosisters…
>>217255596>>217256105why are either of you pretending you're even old enough to have an opinion on the PS2
>>217255572The PS2 was literally the only console everyone at my school owned. If you had a gamecube or Xbox you were like the black sheep
>>217256370Was it or was it not the gross britbong chav console of choice?
>>217256370I'm old enough to remember a president Bush before W.
>>217256391PS2 was the best all rounder if you could only get one, but Xbox and GC had 4 controller ports for multiplayer. I was never a big N64 fan but loved Melee and the Cube.
>>217256395I wouldn't fucking knowI'm American and even when I was 10 I used it primarily for survival horror gamesAll of which I still and I test regularly, because several are worth 500+ dollars at this point and they might as well be gold
>>217256474I got one of those for $50 when our local Circuit City was closing down. No one at the time could’ve predicted that GameCube stuff would become valuable on the secondhand market years later.
>>217256391This nigga never got down on Warioware Inc with the homeboys
>>217255677kek, underrated
>>217255922Me too, I remember being amazed that all I had to do was plug it in and that's it. No drivers or dongles or anything else were necessary, it just works.
>>217256391PS2 was so ubiquitous when I was a teenager back in high school that I literally didn't even know the GameCube or Xbox even existed. Everybody I knew was gaming on PC or PS2.
>>217256474I remember buying a 500GB PS3 Super Slim brand new from Target here in Australia for $99 AUD circa 2014/15. Must have been on clearance, but still.
>>217255554>>217256474>game consoles on an open shelf and not behind glass
>>217256503>No one at the time could’ve predicted that GameCube stuff would become valuableThe weird thing is the Wii can do basically everything a GameCube can, and more. You can literally plug GameCube controllers and memory cards into the Wii. It's like the PS1 becoming expensive or valuable, even though it was practically made obsolete by the PS2. I guess some people just want the hardware.
>>217257208The og xbox was as big as a table and weighed 500 lbs. The controller was like a dinner plate and the cables as thick as your wrist.
>>217255554
>>217257271except if your a melee autist you spazz out at the 0.00000001% frame difference when using a wii to play the gameit's smash bros melee that created the whole gamecube community at this point, any other GC game is just riding the coattails of melee spergery

>>217257271Oh my god dude shut up no one fucking asked you.
>>217256391>or XboxEveryone I knew in high school had an xbox, if only for Halo.
>>217255554I wish I lived in a neighborhood so nice game systems just sat on open shelves instead of behind glass.
>>217255596This! The "ps2 has so many titles" was repeated ad nauseam back then too but all people played was nba live, fifa, tekken and turismo
>>217259820money can't buy good taste
>>217255554xbox and gamecube had better games than ps2
>>217256370The fact that you are capable of perceiving the ps2 as anything other than new means you're larping

>>217261029Man, I miss the sixth gen. It was the last time all three consoles had their own unique personalities and exclusives
>>217256391Uh... so no smash bros. melee? Your school sucked cock.
>>217261019Controllers are objectively better than MKB for any game that isn't an FPS, RTS, or CRPG (shit genres for faggots).
>>217261098Fucking kek. Mouse/keyboard is objectively better in every way for every game. The only way a controller is better is portability. Sitting in front of a computer by yourself with a controller in your hand is assfuck retarded. They're for sitting on a couch at a party just because it's more logistically appropriate.
>>217261201PC gaming is for gross foreigners. Consoles are for first worlders.
>>217255572it ain't a real store
>>217255596>>217256105filtered by your own neuroticism
>>217255554>DAYS GO BY AND STILL I THINK OF YOUUUUU
>>217261285Nah, PlayStation in general is strongly associated with poorfags with a stack of pirated discs laying around. Probably a bunch of cigarette butts too.
>>217261320he's talking to himself again. Sad!
>>217261098This is a fact.>>217261201Dumb post. Any sort of standard modern 3rd person action adventure game is objectively better to play with a controller. If you play a game like witcher 3 or elden ring with keyboard and mouse that's stupid.
>>217261335Clearly there’s a grain of truth to what I said. There’s nothing wrong with mocking chav types.
>>217261320>neurotic weirdo worrying about what his console says about him and what kind of people own which consoles>anti-piracyWe've got a full on MK Ultra victim here.
>>217261350There's nothing wrong with making fun of any English people but you're a faggot for not buying the superior console because you imagined it would make you associated with people you dislike. You're a "twat" I think they say over there on the paedoph isles.
>>217261299>gripz>yogosIs this bongland?
>>217261372I had a PS2 but I’m not a JRPG fan so it was mostly relegated to being a Metal Gear and Silent Hill machine. Weirdly the N64 never clicked with me but I loved the GameCube.

>>217261424>retard tendie doesn't realise that the remaster of FFX and remake of MGS3 are some of the most popular games right nowThe game cube was a failure and the PS2 is still the highest selling, most popular console of all time. Let's not even get started on how much of a disappointment the Switch 2 is, how much of a joke Prime 4 is and that the PS5 is still the only current gen console with worthwhile exclusives.

>>217261737Once someone troons, they're on a timer. I just expect them to ACK within a couple years.
>>217256391I had all three and that wasn't a unique thing at my school. You must have been surrounded by poors
>>217261812I had PS2 and Gamecube, didn't really care about Xbox until I saw Halo but my cousin and friends had it so I never asked for one. Felt too greedy to ask for a whole nother console just for one game.Gamecube had a lot of great games, too. I'd be pissed if I never got to play Pikmin or Metroid Prime.
>>217261598Final fantasy is a troon game
>>217261614Obsessive gamers are autists, that's why they troon out so much. Would be interesting to study the link between autism and trooning out and the psychopathology behind it.
>>217261598>only current gen console with worthwhile exclusives"Current gen console" is a non starter. Grow up and buy a pc, faggot.
>>217261893If they actually got gfs/wives, 95% of troons wouldn't troon. In the past, autists would dedicate themselves to something that women found attractive and eventually bag one. But now they get invested in video games and internet at a young age, so they never find a girl, thus they "become the girl", to the best of their ability.Like think about it. Before video games and internet, a young autist would be given a model rocket kit or something, build that and become obsessed with rockets. Or ships, planes, cars, whatever. He would study every aspect of them and learn to build them, run them, etc. Probably invent new technology. Become at least moderately well-off. A woman would see this success and settle for him.Now autists are given video games and porn instead, so they goon and speedrun Zelda. No woman likes that. Porn gives him AGP and he troons then kills himself. Very sad.
>source: just trust me bro
>>217261737The majority of PC gamers aren’t rocking a high end rig. Some Russian playing counter strike on a dirty old laptop is more representative of the general PC population.
>>217262026Fair points. Makes sense that porn addiction and internet or video game addictions would be especially easy for autists to fall into. Whereas in the old days spergy men would usually have some semblance of a life cause they had more reason to go out into the world, nowadays it's too easy to sit in your room all day and meet socializing needs through the net.

>>217262392Yes, it’s pretty funny with many hot babes throughout.
God damn we had it so good
>>217262392No, it's a show for retards.
>>217262392It can be funny, but the characters get grating after awhile.
I want to go back...
>>217255810Yeah…. I have a Series S actually, things a piece of shit
If you didn't play Muppet Racemania on ps1 then get out of my face
>>217262374Converting to inflation consoles and games back then were as expensive then as they are today, though games were actually considerably more expensive. PS1 was $300 at launch, almost $650 today accounting for inflation. Games were $40-$50, almost $90-$100 today, accounting for inflation. While consoles are today only a bit more expensive, games back then were much pricier.
>>217256391lmao nah if you live in a richfag area over 2m back then you either have all three or own a battlestationpcfag btw
>>217255554Say what you want about about Chuck Lorre sitcoms. You gotta give him credit for his portrayal of video games. Even if it was product placement, any other shows would just opted to have "Call of Jalo" and the most non-believable bullshit way of describing what a video game was like, and there would be a million jokes about how the guy playing it can't get laid. Two and a Half Men would actually mention a real video game that a real kid that age would have been interested in. That>Mario 64 on a poorly coded emulatorline from Big Bang Theory became a meme, but it was genuinely impressive that a line like that made it into a TV show in the 2000's. Most normies even today probably don't know what an emulator is. Just like 2 or 3 years ago zoomies and normies were having their minds blown because iPhones let emulators onto their appstore and you could emulate Pokemon on your phone!...That was a thing that could be done since the birth of smartphones. But without Apple's app store, none of them had a fucking clue. Video games are a normal, mainstream thing now, so zoomies really have no idea what it was like back then. Even in the 2000's when everyone had a PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube, they weren't spoken about and seldom were they legitimately recognized in media. I'm about the same age as the kid from Two and a Half Men and NO ONE at school was talking about video games unless it was Halo or Call of Duty 4. If you did, you were a complete fucking nerd.
>>217261299gripz are actually BACK
>>217262480Idk I think video games were pretty mainstream by the time of the sixth gen. Seemed like most college normies at least had a PS2 and a stack of sports games in their dorm rooms.
>>217262374Everyone who doesn't have a goldfish memory knows the world is getting worse, this isn't a controversial opinion. All sides of the political aisle acknowledge it openly and you'll find few people who claim otherwise.
>>217262463You have to remember though how often buying used was back then. Didn't even grow up a poorfag, but any gaming stuff i got was always bought used or off of craigslist.
>>217261614PS2 may have sold way more overall, but every single friend I ever had growing up had a gamecube, but only about half had a PS2. Regardless, the Gamecube got a million times more action at hangouts than the PS2, which retardedly only had 2 controller ports. What are you gonna do when the boys are over? Everyone has a blast playing Smash or Phantasy Star or Mario Party? Or is everyone gonna watch one guy play God of War and Kingdom Hearts? I have tons of memories with the GCN and PS2, but no group memories with the PS2 because it was a single player console.
>>217262463>games were considerably more epxensivewere your parents so multi millionaires or some shit? bro you bought 2-3 games and you played them on repeat like a normal person.>>217262525oh yes it is controversial, you go into a democrat controlled city and say that biden was absolutely the worst president of the modern US era and you'll get zombie looks all around.we tangibly had better lives as little as 10 years ago and yet every single person you meet irl is like "oh well that's inflation"
>>217262585Plus, the majority of ps2 sales come from third world shit holes.
>>217262585Phantasy Star had local co-op play?
>>217262594Bush was the worst and it's no contest.
>>217262594Early to mid 00s was the peak of GameStop and the used game market. That’s how I got most of my collection back then.
>>217262520College, maybe. Most people drop their retardation and insecurities at that time and are comfortable admitting they like things. In middle school and high school? Different story. At my schools video games were not a mainstream thing at all, even if all the guys were playing them. Call of Duty was the one game openly talked about. Even Halo, mainstream as it was, was only talked about by the nerdy kids. All the girls I knew growing up REALLY did not view video games positively, so at least at my schools, games were not a thing people were quick to talk about.>>217262614Yeah, PSO on the gamecube had up to 4-player split screen and it was a damn good time.
>>217262594>were your parents so multi millionaires or some shit? bro you bought 2-3 games and you played them on repeat like a normal person.Definitely not. I'm Australian so shit was even worse here. $110 AUD was standard for a game from EB back then. Games actually got cheaper for a time once JB-Hi Fi and Big W/Kmart and shit started selling them though.I was lucky to have two older brothers with part time jobs that would buy games for our Xbox which was a Christmas present in 2001. Think one of them bought a Game Cube a few years later too. Fuck I really do miss the early 00s.
>>217262594>oh yes it is controversial, you go into a democrat controlled city and say that biden was absolutely the worst president of the modern US era and you'll get zombie looks all around.>we tangibly had better lives as little as 10 years ago and yet every single person you meet irl is like "oh well that's inflation"That's because you're not speaking their language. You're making it about a president they like, which makes them defensive. So speak their language. Start talking about corporate greed and gigarich CEOs they'll all start agreeing with you. Those people see the world differently than you, but they still understand things are getting worse. They just don't place the blame on Biden like you apparently do (which is stupid, Biden was a senile puppet).
>>217262480They could be as inconsistent as anyone else, though. There's another episode of Two and a Half where the kid rents Final Fantasy X but at episode's end the music coming from the TV is from the PS1 remake of FF2.
>>217262609>the majority of ps2 sales come from third world shit holesAccurate.
>>217262256Majority of PC gamers are on mid-end rigs that still cost >$1000 to build
>>217262775>There's another episode of Two and a Half where the kid rents Final Fantasy X but at episode's end the music coming from the TV is from the PS1 remake of FF2.The fact that it mentions Final Fantasy by name and has Final Fantasy music in it at all puts it light years ahead of any other show. It really felt novel at the time, as silly as that sounds for such a little thing.
>>217257208Good times.
>>217255554Still mad Nintendo never released the orange spice color in North America.
>>217262775Yeah but he got that super mario 64 pause button sound perfectly.
>>217262480I really respected the early seasons of TBBT when they made video game references to Halo and Mario and Age of Conan and World of Warcraft and Zelda. Later on it was just Fortnite and Overwatch.
>>217255572>yet another nigger who can't tell the difference between a tv show and realitythat said, the ps2 was way more successful than either of those consoles by orders of magnitude.
>>217257507But you could have just softmodded a Wii and played all those same games and more. I've even played shit like Sega CD games on my Wii.
I don't play video games because I'm an adult with a career and a wife and family. I don't have hours of spare time every day to dedicate my life this garbage. I play Mario Kart on Switch with my daughter sometime. You anons need to grow up.
>>217259248OG Xbox outsold the GameCube though, that's how hard Nintendo fucked up that gen.
>>217260026>Oh my god dude shut up no one fucking asked you.Cope.
>>217263194It’s a shame too because the GameCube/GBA era felt like such a creative peak for Nintendo. They were taking a lot more chances on unique exclusives and secured some very cool third party stuff.
>>217263192I don’t know, maybe parents have gotten better now, but as a kid it seems like adults always had football games or whatever droning on in the background. I always found it so dreadfully boring.
>>217255554masterchief lookin like gondola here, the mans all legs
>>217263192>I play Mario Kart on Switch with my daughter sometimeI know you do. Your wife talks about what a fag you are for doing that after we fuck.
>>217263192Why are normalfags even here?Just to taunt us?
>>217255554>>217255632>Brute Force>Batman Vengeance>Exhibition demo disc>Taz WantedY'know, that's kind of an accurate depiction of relatives that buy slop games for kids.
>>217263321A fair amount of them are probably just troll posts.
>>217261201>Mouse/keyboard is objectively better in every way for every gamelol noTry playing a racing game with KB+M
>>217263192So you're being drained nonstop to a point where you can't even have energy for one hour a day to spend on a game you want to play because all this other shit gets in the way?
>>217263192>my daughter
>>217255554Gamecube era. So what is the Gold and Silver cardboard advertising.
>>217263406It’s probably a set so the props department just got a bunch of stuff like that. Still pretty accurate to 2003 when the episode came out.
>>217263406Look up the release dates of the games in the picture.
>>217257464You're a stonecold nigger retard if you buy these>>217257507Could've bought a retro pi and put more stuff on it.
>>217255596sony is and always was the brand for urban nogs
>>217255554did stores actually used to let you just walk right up and grab the consoles or game without having an employee have to unlock anything? Couldn't people steal like nearly $1000 worth of stuff
>>217263444>Could've bought a retro pi and put more stuff on itbut then he'd become a complete faggot
>>217263552Make sure you never drink water or use the toilet. Black people do that stuff!
>>217263192>I don't play video games>I play Mario Kart on SwitchExcellent post
>>217263192You're posting on 4chan, sir
>>217257271same for the wii u, it can play both wii and gamecube games, the ps4 era was when retro compability stopped.
>>217257208They are worth 20x more now. Yes $1000 electronics were kept behind class even back then.
>>217265102don't play dumb, you know exactly why they are kept behing glass doors now
>>217255554damn that must be a pure white city if they just have whole ass consoles on shelves in flimsy cardboard boxesi see gold/silver up there which i remember buying and we had to ask the guy to open the display caseback then i dont think i ever saw a nigger in my entire life yetalthough to be fair pokemania was the reason they started putting card packs in thick plastic because even the white kids were just ripping em open trying to get charizard
in one episode he wants to buy final fantasy 10 so bad, he talks about it for all the episode.
>>217265265
>>217262480i was happy when american dad referenced soul calibur of all games, its not popular,not obscure either but soul calibur never gets the mentions like other fighting games do like mortal kombat or street fighters
>>217255596That was literally everyone I knew growing up. I was the only kid I knew who owned a Gamecube. Then when I moved onto Wii, everybody jumped onto Xbox 360 to play Halo and CoD. I didn't even know about conventions until my late teens and by that point my interest in games was already fading. Now I literally only play Gran Turismo and rarely anything else.
