Was it really the greatest system of all time?
Not even close. Extremely overrated poverty core machine.
>>729486623definitely. best controller, best games, backwards compatibility, ps2 had it all and nothing comes close
Yes
The fanbase was so obnoxious that they made it hard to judge it on its own merits.
>>729487632Can you even say the ps2 had a "fanbase" when it was the default console of its era, if you had a console back then it was 99% a playstation and occasionally something else.
It was pretty good
>>729486623Amazing first party games and support but third party ports tended to be the worst plus I feel like games with bad performance were very common on it.
Sure yeah but in 2002-2004, dud my xbox get played more? Yes.
>outsold the competition 10 to 1>didn't have the multiplayer games of the GameCube>didn't have the online of the XBOXHow did it do it? Was the legacy of the PS1 really that strong combined with the cheap DVD player?
>>729488316>How did it do it?They kept making them well into the 2010's for third world countries. Fun fact: it's the first console to have Indian developed games.
>>729488316>didnt have mario party copy pastes and paid onlinewho gives a shit when you have dmc, god hand, mgs2, gow, ffx, monster hunter, and basically every multiplat. I’d take the PS2’s library over the other consoles of that gen combined.
>>729488316>How did it do it?Games.
>>729488528It had the GOAT single player games for sure.
yes.
>watch cartoon network toonami and adult swim >weeb tie-in games released on PS2>watch your DVD box sets on the same system it was the ultimate weeb machine almost everyone on 4chins will agree. gamecube was good for party games (people with freinds) and xbox was the online pioneer, but PS2 was the best hands down. for the normies and the weebs
>>729486623Yes, anyone saying otherwise comes off as tryhard ragebait.
>>729489038Man I remember thinking how cool a Trigun game would have been on PS2. Then I learned years later there was a canceled one
>>729489172it would have been shit. they were all shit. going back to them now i can't fucking play any of it, but at the time having any game that tied into my favorite weeb shows... man i was hyped even if i knew it was shit
>>729486623at the time, yes it was probably the greatest system. It had some good games but the DVD player was a HUGE part of it. It probably seems weird to zoomies but multi disc TV season box sets were novel and dvd re-releases were huge and not just for kinophile nerds.
>>729489404>imagine if everything was streamed live ONCE a year and you cant pause or rewind its crazy trying to describe physical media to the children. they think we're fucking retarded or something
>>729486623To a 2-year-old, maybe
is 480i bad for you
>>729489404imagine having to explain vhs rentals to them>it's like youtube but there's no seek bar and you have to fast forward through the video before the next one starts. when you're done watching videos you have to let them all play in reverse you'll be fined.dvds were so fucking convenient in comparison, it's no wonder everyone adopted them. being able to buy a box set and having it be cheap as fuck because it wasn't on 20 vhs tapes was massive too.
>>729490505nah
>>729491046>what was that sound just now?
