Nintendo tanked the GameCube on purpose to bait Sony into overextending with the bloated PS2 library, setting up the next generation that made them untouchable. Melee, Prime, and RE4 were proof-of-concept. Tiny discs, zero shovelware.
Normal people prefer games like Tony hawk and MGS, not colorful toy games only played by you and cunny destroyer 2488
>>12622512Then why did they make their next console the new "shovelware heaven"?
>>12622582
>>12622582The Wii is the worst console i owned, don't even mentiont that thing
The PS2 is the best-selling console of all time.Too bad like 98% of its library is shovelware garbage.
>>12622512>"it was all a conspiracy!"no, just stupid business practices>"the gamecube had zero shovelware"lol. lmao even.
shovelware is a byproduct of having the biggest consumer base. just avoid the trash and ps2 has plenty for everyone.
>>12622679have you played that game?
6th gen still sticks like a sore thumb on /vr/
>>12622683Gamecube had much more high quality exclusives, the PS2's best games are multi-platform games that run AND looked better on the G.C and/or X-box
>>12622691People did not want to be stuck in the 90s, they wanted more material to discuss
>>12622705Define "people"
>>12622704there were a couple great ps2 exclusive but you are right. ]people were whipping out gamecubes to play on for a long time after because of the fun couch multiplayer games.
>>12622717This board's userbase
>>12622679>Mentions a multi platform game is already in the PS2
>>12622724 The rule change was forced.Most of the original /vr/ userbase was against it, there's archives of the original thread the day the rule change was announced. It was a total shitfest. One anon even tried to talk to the mods on the IRC channel and all he got was replies like "lol /vr/? Who cares, that's a shitposting board anyway" and then the mods kept ERPing (not making this up, you can actually see the screenshots of thar in the archive).6th gen will never be retro, no matter how many years pass. A generation where the best selling games are sandbox nig sims will never be truly retro.
>>12622732This post will vanish
>>12622732BIG IF TRUE
>>12622732I think i have found the thread you did refer to: https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/6770545/#6770545
>>12622781Here's the IRC screenshot
>>12622796and that is how /vr/ turned to shit
>>12622727The gamecube's entire library is mostly multiplats. The only exclusives worth playing are developed by nintendo themselves or a nintendo subsidiary.
>>12622824Any Nintendo exclusive game clears the entire PS2 exclusive library, without even mentioning all the shovelware and filler.
>>12622727multiplat shovelware is still shovelware.
>>12622831The PS2 had quantity, the G.C had quality, simple as
>>12622829>>12622832I will concede that Gamecube had the best exclusives but saying that the Gamecube's library is not filled with shovelware, multiplat or not is pure cope. Honestly though games like Killer7 and Resident Evil 4 might as well have been gamecube exclusives with how dogshit the ps2 versions were.
>>12622834PS2 graphics looked like horseshit compared to what the Xbox and G.C had
The entire shovelware argument is dumb. The most commercially successful system will always have the most shovelwareSaying "systems with shovelware are bad" is like saying "commercially successful systems are bad"
>>12622839The only good games on the PS2 were multi plats that were better experienced elsewhere
>>12622837The PS2 had some great looking games. Saying pic related or Gran Turismo 4 look bad is just low quality bait
>>12622846>Cinematic movie game I recommend purchasing HRT in case you are not on it already
PS2 is the BEST CONSOLE EVER !
>>12622848Go back to /v/.
>>12622843i didn't know the katamari games were multiplat
>>12622883You had to dig in the bottom of the barrel to find any worthwhile exclusives, nice
>>12622679That was surprisingly good for licensed game, better than the next gen version
>>12622691>>12622705>>12622732This board really is just a bunch of uncs seething that time moves on
>>12622796I don't like the AI spam thread they defended but because I don't like it doesn't mean it's spam.
>>12622679>Posts a good game
>>12623003It's repetitive and clanky
>>12623021almost every retro game is like that to be frank
>>12622994The other way around, I'm mad that we didn't get a proper modern but non-current gen board for games./v2k/ would have been perfect
>>12622853ok so lets ignore the fact youre a loser who's never even played an NES game before (the actual best console). lets ignore the fact the ps2 library is shovelware garbage and broken multiplats. we'll ignore the fact the ps1 library is better in every single way. this guy was only 3 years old when the ps2 came out. by the time he could actually play vidya the ps2 was already old hat. zoomers claiming ps2 are just poorfags or LARPers, which makes them losers either way. daily reminder normie trash like gta was never, ever good. in terms of actual game quality ps2 is mogged by the cube AND xbox and no amount of 3rd world cope will change that
The PS2 had more non-shovelware games than the GCN had games total.Reminder than the GCN stopped getting games even before the Dreamcast.
>>12622796Shocking that they didn't just instantly IP ban everyone complaining from the IRC.
>More games better
>>12623212gigachad is brown-coded
>>12623153cope. get mogged fool.
Did anyone consider growing up instead of console warring? It was boring back in the 90s in the playground...
>>12623351Funnily enough, console wars are more of a 00s phenomenon (due to internet and forums actually becoming mainstream).Back in the 90s the only console wars were mostly in USA marketing and maybe some tongue-in-cheek drawings of sonic vs mario kids sent to magazines.In the school yard I don't remember any kid bashing any of the new consoles, they wanted to play them all.6th gen was the first generation with real (online) console wars. Which is why /vr/ lowered so much in quality once 6th gen was allowed. Not that there wasn't console wars before here, but there were less of it, and back in the early /vr/ days (pre-2016) console warriors were mocked and expulsed back to /v/. It was a very different board.
>>12623680This board has had plenty of spammers and schizos even before allowing 6th Gen games
>>12623825The one schizo that has been shitting up the board for a decade started in 2016, so yeah as I said, pre-2016 was very different.6th gen was the final nail in the coffin though
>>12622732look i agree that mods are shit eating erpfags, but 6th gen is retro. NOW 7TH GEN? lol lmao
>>12623212>more shovelware more garbage filler, better
>>12622512>setting up the next generationbut the wii is shovelware: the console
>>12623976They had better first party games and exclusives than the piss3
>>12624019yea like waggle game #463
Tendies live with permanent trauma from every gen they didn't win and they try to rewrite history like a rape victim who constantly wishes she didn't go through that alley that one night.
>>12624047Nigger.txt
>>12624047And like a rape victim they have stockholm syndrome and love their rapist and defend him to the death
>>12624047Based, we must make people to stop liking the Kyoto company
>>12624021I don't even like the Wii or anything from that awful 7th generation, but the G.C was Nin's last good console, Sony was always behind them though
>>12624113GameCube fucking sucked.
>>12624117You are a 3rd worlder who has never heard of the G.C until a handful years ago, my ancestors have enslaved yours.
>>12624106This but with blue!!!
>>12624213GameCube was cheaper to get than PS2, drop your meds pajeet.
>>12624460You defend the PS2 because it was the only console your shitskinned "people" could put their hands on at the time
>>12622512Nothing warms my heart quite like nintoddler cope
PS2 is the worst thing to happen to gaming, it killed the wonderful soulful colourful games we loved in favor of edgy grim dark walking simulators, we have not recovered since then, that is alone enough to make me prefer the gayme cube even if it was not a good console really
>>12624924Mfw we haven't recovered from:Katamari DamacyŌkamiJak and Daxter: The Precursor LegacySly Cooper and the Thievius RaccoonusRatchet & ClankWe Love KatamariApe Escape 2Dragon Quest VIII
>>12624940>Mfw we haven't recovered from:>Ōkami>Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy>Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus>Ratchet & Clank>Dragon Quest VIIIWe haven't.
>>12624501I'm European and even had the Xbox at the time, ranjeet.
>>12624924Tendies and their Sony derangement syndrome is truly something else
>>12624940Not worth it, we got GTA and it ended up being its best selling title
>>12622679ok but Pixar movies by and large actually had solid tie in games.
>>12625319The best selling game of your console is a negro simulator, LMAO
The PS2 was for the normies, the G.C was for the hard-core gamers
>>12622796Reminds me of when they cracked down on bro culture on /sp/ then leaked chat logs showed that they talked about us with contempt even though bro culture was the whole reason we had enough traffic to have multiple dedicated staffers. They killed it too.
you know what i think? i think the very notion of "shovelware" was invented by reddit and youtubers. by engaging in this discourse, by admitting these bogus concepts to your analytical framework, you all prove just how reddit, secondary, and brown you are.
>>12626242Cope
>>12622831And it's also on PS2
>>12626704But on gamecube it's a must play hidden gem classic.
>>12626242I agree. A console could have 1000 good titles and 90,000 shit titles. The shit titles don't change the good titles. They are 0 at worst
