it was cheaper to buy a dvd player. PS2 being bought for having a dvd player was the excuse bros gave why they had one when a girl was over. everybody was playing gta 3. gamecube was left in the dust.

Drakengard is a bad Dynasty Warriors clone and Ape Escape 3 is a platformer with barely any platforming and major performance issues that doesn't even use frameskip resulting in slowdown all the time.

Socom kicked off the online multiplayer for PS2. The early days of PS2 online was janky as hell, you needed to buy the network adapter when Xbox had it already built in. Even with the added expense of buying the hardware, Socom was so damn good that people were paying for it to play online.
To this day, people are still playing the original Socom games online through original hardware and emulators.
Regardless of whatever your opinion is, the game sold a lot of copies and is the reason PSN even exists today. There was no online game on PS2 that was even remotely close to being as popular. PS3 had a healthier library of online games, but there is no denying that Socom was for PS2 what Halo was for Xbox.

Anyway the Switch is about to surpass its sales numbers, enjoy that midlife crisis reaction from reading that

It only took them combining their console and handheld divisions into a single piece of hardware, forcing two separate customer bases to pool into one product, and then dragging out a console generation for seven fricking years!
Right, taking actual metrics of the population and percentage that played videogames compared to today and the switch shouldve exceeded the PS2 a few years ago at minimum.
its basically a kings field game so if you like kings field yes it is worth playing. I just picked it up myself cause i too enjoy some mid jank but i think its legit good cause i like KF
There's 3 actual good games here: GTA 3, Jak and Daxter and DMC. The rest are of em are cases where the previous games were better or they're just crap to begin with (Ico)
No, it was because it was a DVD player. Gamecube won in library easily
Hahahahhaha oh wow
>this is what nintendo tuber brainrot has done to zoomer's taste
Gamecube was just like the n64, had a handful of bangers but doesn't compete with sony's library of either gen.
it was cheaper to buy a dvd player. PS2 being bought for having a dvd player was the excuse bros gave why they had one when a girl was over. everybody was playing gta 3. gamecube was left in the dust.
>excuse bros gave why they had one when a girl was over.
False, and if true, that's the most moronic thing ever.
Nah PS3 was a Blu-ray and sold under cost at release but it didn't matter because they didn't drop a frick load of exclusive gems close to launch.
No one cared about Blu-ray and $600 was still too much for nearly everyone. THAT's the difference.
Blu-ray was a big thing you dumb zoom zoom
Nah PS2 sold because it was a dvd player, ps1 emulator, and a nice handful of great console exclusive launch titles.
Gc has nogames
>No, it was because it was a DVD player
part of the reason, yes
>Gamecube won in library easily
delusional

Neither of those are good.
Why
Drakengard is a bad Dynasty Warriors clone and Ape Escape 3 is a platformer with barely any platforming and major performance issues that doesn't even use frameskip resulting in slowdown all the time.
No
guaranteed replies
They are mad that Jesus told him the truth
>Gamecube won in library easily
Gamecube

How do you define winning?
It has Mario and I like Mario so it WINS
>the mario game is worse than 64
>the zeldas are worse than ocarina/majora
define winning?
when i was a nintendo fantard on forums back then we had this little (cope) line that went "quality over quantity".
They still try saying that these days, but then they point to Mario and Zelda and I genuinely wonder if they're being ironic or not.
DVD + GTA. You're delusional if you think it was anything else.
Gamecube is garbage. You're even more delusional than OP.
Another quality 6th gen thread! /vr/ really needed this
GTA 3 is the only good game here

It's amazing how much effort they put into lying, but how little effort they put into making their lies sound believable.
Decent bait but I know you can do better. We all believe in you, anon.
I had a PS2 growing up and I've never played any of those games.
The only one worth playing today is Dark Alliance
>no socom
Socom kicked off the online multiplayer for PS2. The early days of PS2 online was janky as hell, you needed to buy the network adapter when Xbox had it already built in. Even with the added expense of buying the hardware, Socom was so damn good that people were paying for it to play online.
To this day, people are still playing the original Socom games online through original hardware and emulators.
>Socom
garbage for poor console peasants who couldn't afford a PC to play CS

HOLY SHIT they're so fricking bad.
most of those are definite classics

Kino.
Such a good launch lineup. The only better console launch was the Dreamcast.
Summoner was pretty good. But no one cares about it anymore.
>pal

They bought me air combat for Christmas, I completely ignored for months, than I start to play and I love it

>switch gay
you can emulate switch games on pc if you're gonna go by that argument
>Anyway the Switch is about to surpass its sales numbers
It already has in Japan.
>Anyway the handheld system from a company with a history of record-breaking handheld sales is about to surpass the sales numbers of a 20+ year old console

quite a dirty trick and they had a boost from COVID.
Right, taking actual metrics of the population and percentage that played videogames compared to today and the switch shouldve exceeded the PS2 a few years ago at minimum.
Two of those are good.
I literally have no idea why people like Silent Hill 2 and Ico so much. They're really boring.
Grass, touch.
>go outside, and then you'll understand the appeal of incredibly slow, dreary, brown games, with unsatisfying combat
Uh, okay.
Unironically.
>This is why the PS2 was a disappointment
ftfy
Every one of those games is good to God tier. It's not even funny, PS2 was legit a champion by merit, where as the Wii is bowling champion by gimmick.
Is Eternal Ring worth playing at all? I’m pretty sure everyone has told me it’s shit, I love me some weird bottom of the barrel mid garbage though
its basically a kings field game so if you like kings field yes it is worth playing. I just picked it up myself cause i too enjoy some mid jank but i think its legit good cause i like KF
Even so; I still prefer the PS1 and its games.
>enter thread about PS2
>It sucks
Many such cases
PS2 threads should be banned here, not because it's not retro, but because it's a shit console.
better than gaycube
I wouldn't know. I had a PS2 and an Xbox during 6th gen. Don't bump degenerate threads.
no no banger banger decent
decent banger decent banger banger
ICO is my favorite from this but SH2 is really good too.
There's 3 actual good games here: GTA 3, Jak and Daxter and DMC. The rest are of em are cases where the previous games were better or they're just crap to begin with (Ico)
ICO shits on every Metroidvania without even trying.
These are all either awful or not ultimately exclusive. Even GTA III had a PC release in the same time frame.
