>26 October 2000 Did you get one at launch? What are your best memories with it? What's your favorite game(s)?
>>12128363I was 2 when the PS2 came out, but it was my first console because my dad owned one. First games I remember playing were Crash Wrath of Cortex, SpongeBob Dutchman, THPS3, and Vice City. Idk about a fav game, I like too many.
>>12128363it's still my primary console. vidya went downhill after the success of the ps2.
>>12128363Boys, do you remember when launch titles looked like this?I am not joking, if a modern console had a roster like this, with this much variety and quality of genres, it would outsell.every competitor
>>12128418Is that all of the launch games? It's definitely missing SSX.
>>12128426You're rightThe launch line-up was even better that what I thoughtDamn
>>12128418Most of these suck ass though.
>>12128363I didn't get one till the silver slim came out, but my friends had it pretty early and i think one of them got it on launch.

>>12128523What a horrible list
>>12128363>Did you get one at launch? No. I was one of those very low IQ kids who went with the Gamecube first and instantly regretted it. Then I got an Xbox a year later (loved it) and then a modded ps2 last from my friend. I never touched the shitcube again after RE4.
>>12128363Got one in early 2003 with GTA Vice City. I was happy. Since the disc drive was better it even played some of my scratched PS1 discs that had been unplayable

>>12128418These games aren't groundbreaking, but that's still a good thing.Imagine if we'd had the 2001 lineup at launch... the whole world would have gone into a frenzy to buy a PS2, a chaotic scene inside every store with lines stretching down the block... jesus.
>3 launch titles by From SoftwareI'd ask how they did it, but they're all boring.
>>12128609what games do you like
Can you play all of these games within 1 year?
>>12128707Yes, but why would you want to?
>>12128707Could probably 100% 1 or 2 of these a week.
>>12128363I didn't get one at launch because of scalpers. I had to wait until the following year.
>>12128418>393 in 2013in current year money it would cost 562 close to FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETYNINE DOLLARS
>>12128403>vidya went downhill with the release of the ps2ftfy
>>12128418wow a bunch of ports and shovelware? truly groundbreaking. damn...
>>12128523Swap okami for god hand
>>12128752but enough about the switch 2
>>12128809he's not a switchfag, he's a cubie insecure the PS2 mogs his shitcube hard.
>>12128707Armored Core 2/AA and SSX would give me the most mileage and bang for my buck.
i save dmy money and bought a game cube. which i did have fun with but i immensely regretted not getting an xbox or a ps2 at the time. it doesn't matter now since i have all three and can play whatever i want, but a ps2 would have given me so much more mileage back then.
>>12128776reddit hand doesnt make the top 100
>>12128853Downhill Domination does thoughever.
>>12128776>swap wolfyou mean switch
I bought PS2 with money from my first summer job in 2001 July. The console came with Gran Turismo, maybe 3?, and bought Quake 3 along with it. Played Quake 3 a lot with my friends, 9/11 happened while we were playing it after school. Later got Tekken Tag Tournament and it was fucking awesome. Got Dark Cloud the christmas, FFX released the following spring, got MGS 2 bit after.Later would play Kingdom Hearts, FFX-2, Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 and Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2). Disgaea and MGS3 were the last iconic games I played on PS2.

>>12128471I mean a good bunch of them are classics though. And the point is you got a system which launched w almost all of the genres, exciting new graphics and gameplay. Also, snowboarding games had been in at the time, armored core is consider a classic. Unreal and timesplitters (I thought quake was a launch title too because I remember it being the first game my buddy got for his) would keep you occupied w friends for months. Tekken Tag and Street fighter ex 3, both great fighters that make going to the arcade less poignant. Midnight club was an awesome racing tech demo showing off the new systems graphics that I still turn on to this day and just kind of soak in the nostalgia. The gameplay is still fine. Didn’t play ridge racer but I know a lot of people are big fans. Was the Bouncer not a launch title? I thought it sucked but a lot of people seem to like it.
>>12128853>reddit handGod Hand was literally one of the OG 4chan contrarian favorites. Begone, zoomer.
>>12130478Oh shit I didn’t realize this game was a road rage like. Is the main premise to try and knock people off while racing or was that just a gimmick mode?
>>12130478looks very fun.
>>12130541Actually it's a SomethingAwful "pretend something terrible is good" game.
>>12130543There's two main modes, both in the format of a race. You have your long tracks which are extremely well designed and all have central mechanics like the forest getting set on fire half way thru, or riding through an advancing army complete with platoons and vehicles in formation. In standard long track races you can perform tricks to level up your weapon which goes from punch->kick->check->stick->bottle (thrown) and this is used by you and other racers to take out competitors temporarily.The other mode is scoring which is done on a small track, still in the format of a race but your position is determined by your points which you of course get by doing tricks. These are short and a smaller part of the main game.
