actual zoomer ('05) here, ps3 was my first console not sure what yall uncs are yapping about
>>737303791>2 good games in a sea of kusoge really showed him sis
>>737303791wow look at all those games with 0 playtime that sold like shit and that noobody played when the ps2 gen was still new, amazing contrarian tourist larp collection anon
>>737303894The oldest zoomer was born in ‘97, so ps2 nostalgia is still valid.
>>737303907Yeah, yeah, you go and pretend Wind Waker is one of the best games ever made, little buddy.
>>737304054>‘97that's a zillennial
>>737303615I'm sorry about your dear Gamecube getting turbo raped, but you have to let it go man
>>737304054>oh look 1% of the generation actually witnessed something when it was dying, that makes it totally heckin valid and relatable for the remaining 99% amirite fellow zoomersum unc can you just stop? it's getting embarrassing
>>737303615>shovelwareI never understand this argument.Do you think any console in history has a library with ONLY 10/10 games? No, that would be stupid.Just don't fucking play the shovelware?Nobody points a gun to your head to play the shitty games. Just play the good ones.
>>737303615>>737303687they're the same thingmost late 2000s/early 2010s PS2 games were shovelware Wii ports
>>737303615>>737303687Both of these are very good consoles.
>>737304193uh yesps5 for instance for the most part has a library of premium AAA gamescompare this to 99% of the library being shovelware uncslop, people can barely name 5-10 good ps2 games despite it having thousands of themit's always>mgs>silent hill>ico/sotc>re>gran turismo/sport niggas/gtaand other pretentious unplayable movie trash because these are the games people actually played on the console when it was still relevant
>>737304371If you're baiting, at least make it entertaining.This is just stupid.
>>737304371People can barely name 5-10 good game for any retro console
>>737303615Unlike >>737303687, at least PS2 HAD games, and fun was the focus of most games, unlike now, where artfags, immersiontards, "we don't use 'fun' here" cuckmans run the show, and every "game" is trying to out-gay each otherPS1-3 are the only ones worth playing, and even at that, I'd say only the first half of PS3>>737304268From what standpoint?Gen 7 is the beginning of the end for gaming, and Wii absolutely played a part in it
>>737303791at least remove the ports and remasters from your screenshot if you're gonna talk about exclusives
>>737303615I was already nostalgic for PS2 by 2011
>what if there was a shittier version of ps2/xbox with no games and a fucktarded controller and no online
>>737304624I wanted to call you stupid but it's true for the most part.
>>737304624still more soulful then whatever shit is coming out today, I love the gamecube so much bros...
>>737304456I'm not baiting>>737304512gaming unironically didn't start until the later half of 7th gen
>>737304542>From what standpoint?Games? Video games? When I think gen 7 console games I really liked I think of Demon's Souls, Xenoblade Chronicles, Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime Trilogy. I have roughly equal amounts of Wii, 360 and PS3 games but those are the ones that sticked for me. Most of the PS3 and 360 library were just worse versions of multiplats while Wii games tended to be exclusive.
>>737304805Wii had a significantly weaker library compared to PS3 and 360, even early on this was obvious. Nobody actually cares about the good Wii games, just about nintendo brand slop.
>>737304862If you didn't have a PC maybe so. I built my first gaming PC in 2005 though so there was nothing interesting on PS360 until Demon's Souls.
>>737304957>If you didn't have a PCLets not pretend PC ports at the time, which were coming out 6 months to 2 and a half years later were anything worth acknowledging. Don't waste my time.
>>737305000They weren't as good as they are today, but even at their worst they ran like their console versions. Not really a convincing argument to buy a console if you already had a PC. I built my PC to play games RTS games like BFME2 and MMOs like World of Warcraft which were either horrific on console or simply unavailable. It was simply the best way to play back then and doubly so now.
>>737305174>They weren't as good as they are todayThey were actually so comically bad that we're still feeling the reverberations of them today.>Not really a convincing argument to buy a console if you already had a PCThis has and always will be PC cope.
>>737304957Pc gaming was fucking garbage bro
>>737305226>They were actually so comically bad that we're still feeling the reverberations of them today.This. I kinda dread installing a game from that time every time I have to.Funniest thing is that most of the time it actually works better on Linux with Proton than on windows kek
>>737305226>>737305234PC gaming in the early to mid 00s was fucking peak when you not only had console ports coming in more and more as the norm but PC-only genres like RTS and MMORPG were still being made in scale. I am genuinely sorry if you were too young to be there.
>>737305358That's Windows 10 and 11 breaking compatibility with old games. This was a huge shitstorm 10 years ago, but you were probably in elementary school and not on /v/.
>>737305374PC EXCLUSIVES were good, yes.WoW, Warcraft 3, Half Life etc.Console ports were fucking garbage. Not even talking about the obscure DRM prevalent at that time like securom.
>>737305496Couldn't even go 3 games without listing a multiplat.
>>737303687>wagglan'what were they thinking?
>>737303615The PS2 has the most games of I think any console ever. Yes some of it is shovelware but also plenty of good ones and many of them exclusive.
>>737305543Notice how the "shovelware" cope is always used by those that defend systems with no games
>>737305496Even the most infamous eyewatering dogshit ports ran on par with consoles, most of them better than their console counterparts. Add to that PC exclusives and there was little reason to get a console.
>>737305670lol no back in the PS2 era the PC port was usually absolute shit that barely even worked.
>>737305709I still have nightmares about San Andreas controls on PC
>>737305709I remember visiting my bro and seeing how dogshit the games look and ran on his PS2 compared to my PC. There are animals out there that played only Battlefront 2 on a PS2 and not a fucking PC LMAO
>>737305670Not true at all lol
>>737305823Yeah I have the PC port of GTA3 and holy shit it's bad.
>>737305823I played Vice City and San Andreas back in the day on PC and I still play them on KB+M today.
>>737303894Zoomer derangement syndrome is at an all time high
>>737303894Most of the people ITT were shitting their diapers in 05 yet are doing analysis on PC port quality at the time.
>>737304371The entire 9th gen doesn't have a single good game lol
>>737306020It's not like the ports aren't still around if you want to see how shit they are yourself.
>>737306069>coping broke novidya virgin loser
>>737304774>still more soulful then, whatever shit is coming out. Today, I love the gamecube so much brosfixed your sentence structure for you
>>737305659Yea kinda
>>737306127You eat up literal sewage, broccoli haired niggerbrain
>>737306080You can get a basic grasp even via sites like pcgamingwiki, but getting an accurate grasp would require period appropriate hardware and OS. Even "bad" ports like GTA3 ran at 480p 30 fps with controller support, which matches the Xbox at the time.
>>737306020>>737306308Stop larping as some ancient wizard master with archaic knowledge.Most people here always had a PC and one or multiple consoles.PC ports were fucking garbage. Even a theoretical performance or resolution increase doesn't offset all the hassle.
>>737303615My ps5 is collecting dust while I still play ps1 and ps2 games lol
>>737306742Most people here are in their 20s, brown and have never owned a proper PC. The only touchpoint that they have to anything made 20+ years ago is their big brother's PS2 that they played maybe once or twice in elementary school. I thank my lucky stars every day of my pushing-40 year old life that I wasn't playing multiplats on a fucking PS2 like the rest of my fucking junior class as those versions were always miserable. Luckily they usually had Ratchet and Clank and other, exclusive games that made owning it worthwhile.
>>737306297unc lost it frfr
>>737307153It's easier to emulate GTA 3 and NFS Most Wanted than playing these garbage ports on PC mate.
>>737303791/thread
>>737307450And you place that blame on the ports themselves and not the fact that they were made for operating systems and hardware from 20 years ago? Mind you, I actually played Most Wanted PC release last year and with the widescreen patch applied it is absolutely excellent. I have the 360 release, but looks like shit and it runs like absolute shit so I play it on PC using the PC port.
>>737303615No other console ever came close to having a library as good as the PS2
>>737307593I'm not blaming anything you fucking retard.You're the one implying PCs were just consoles but better, which is wrong.I had both and played on both and the experience on PC was so bad you'd rather play on your console even if it was slightly worse looking (if even).
>>737304371>AA and AAA games where better than the AAA games and the indieshit today>"but bro, look at all those sports games and the licensed shovelware">most of the sports games were actually good>some of the licensed games were really good like Spiderman 2>racing games still existed>rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero existed and were actually fun
>>737308613>erm, old movie games good new movie games bad>erm, old sportslop good new sportslop bad>erm, old gunsloppa/gta good new gunsloppa/gta badok retard
>>737308783>>erm, old movie games good new movie games badsome were, the term "movie game" today mostly refers to games that focus more on story than gameplay, actual licensed movie games hardly exist anymore because the fornite eshop exists>>erm, old sportslop good new sportslop badseeing as how EA has exclusive rights to make them, and they havent put any effort in since 2010, as they are vehicles for the gambling, and are buggy as shit, the old sports games were leaps and bounds better. at least they were functional video games.>>erm, old gunsloppa/gta good new gunsloppa/gta badthere hasnt been a new gta in 12 years nigga
