How was anyone excited for the PS2 when thats was its games at launch?
>>
UNCSLOP AM I RITE BROS LMAO!!
>>
>>729918423
timesplitters is kino
>>
>>729918423
Not better than what you could play on the Dreamcast. Lame.
>>
nobody bought consoles on launch
>>
>>729918423
Nothing wrong with thoughse games.
>>
>>729918423
There's actually a few good games on there, and more "good" games. I never realized how good their launch lineup was.
>>
>time splitters 1 doesn't even have a story
>ssx was almost entirely copy pasted into ssx tricky
Those pre-gc and xbox 6th gen games are almost lke tech demos
>>
>>729918423
>sequel to the winner of the fifth generation of gaming
>could play your old ps1 games
>in addition to dvds, which were starting to pick up steam
No clue if people upgraded their consoles asap in 2000. I was only 6 months old when the PS2 released in burgerstan so I am definitely not one to talk.
>>
>>729918423
You're retarded if you can't comprehend how amazing this collection of launch titles was
We didn't know how good we had it
>>
>>729918423
Because it was the successor to the PS1, a console that ended up selling over 100 million units in its own right. Turns out when a console is popular, its successor benefits from the brand recognition.
>>
>>729920367
you didn't get a ps2 until 2001 with gta 3 and mgs 2 like everyone else
>>
>>729919938
For nerds it was extrmely anticipated
I got one at launch as my first dvd player as well and also convinced my parents to get me a little Yamaha surround sound system for it as well
I was living in the motherfucking future
>>
>>729918423
That's a lot of games, compare it to consoles that come out today
>>
>>729920462
The PS2 was doing well enough to end the Dreamcast before that point.
>>
>>729920462
I absolutely have a launch model
>>
Oni! Was not a launch title.... i looked it up because I thought you were wrong, but you were right.
>>
>>729920437
Nobody called it the PS1 back then. It was the PSX.
>>
>>729918423
there's like 5 good games in that list, that's more than the PS5 had in 6 years
>>
>>729919938
>could play your old ps1 games
its crazy how backwards compatibility wasn't a common thing back then
>>
>>729920740
shutup
>>
other consoles peaked with their launches. ps2 just got better and better
>>
>>729921476
Most launches sucked hard.
>>
I bought it because of MGS2 and DmC.
>>

Such as?
>>
>>729921584
This and ffx.
>>
Wasn't this also a launch title? I was playing this well beyond the console's lifespan.
>>
>>729918423
We weren’t excited. We played all our games on PC. We never played console and never fell for the meme. Windows XP had thousands of launch titles meanwhile PS2 had literally zero (0) games.

>>729919037
This. We were ALL laughing in IRC at all the retards who bought this glorified DVD player. That’s right, we didn’t even watch DVDs, we pirated the fuzzy channels for free.
>>
>>729922076
You don't need to pretend to be a PCfag and console war over a 20+ year old system
>>
>>729922076
you were born in 2008
>>
>>729918423
that's 29 more games than the ps5 has
>>
>>729918601

>>729918423
I loved driving around in free roam in Smuggler's Run. it was an innocent time before I ever played GTA3, and I remember spending hours just exploring, wrecking cars, and messing with the cheat codes. I don't think I ever played the main game.

>>729924076
that's a stacked list

Just look at that line up, and it could play all the PSX games too, yep, the PS2 was the greatest console ever made, bar none. We will never see a console like that again.
