This basically, but probably for different reasons. PS2 was nowhere near the jrpg quality of PS1 so I kinda just abandoned Sony then, that and the ps2's i bought being factory broken one after another kinda solidified me avoiding sony from that point on. PS2 was the start of normie wigger pandering Sony.
In LA visiting the grandparents, I remember on launch day the Best Buy around the corner was in the news because a white kid was beat up by a gang of blacks and his PS2 was stolen
2000? so I was 11 when it came out. and I don't think I got one until 2003-2004. fuck when did the eye toy come out? I want to say our ps2 came with an eye toy. Costco had some package deal.
at my parent's place, playing n64 mostly ocarina, majoras and perfect dark. my buddy got a ps2 right at release so i would go over and play his. i wanted a gamecube though because that same friend had parasite eve on ps1 which i loved at the time, so eternal darkness sold me on a gamecube thinking this way we would have access to both. ended up changing my mind and asking for an xbox + halo the following christmas
My 8 y/o retarded self wanted a PS2 for christmas but I bought the PSOne instead
Fuck You Sony for releasing you them the same fucking year what's wrong with you
I don’t ever go on that weird ass general, I don’t understand all their memes and schizo Russian boogeymen, doesn’t change the fact that PS2 emulation still blows
Nowhere near dolphin, but it’s better yeah. Dolphin is probably an order of magnitude faster, especially when you factor in emulation speed while upscaling or other enhancements
Still playing my N64. I was a N64 and GameBoy Color babby. Pretty sure I got a GBA before getting a PS2. I didn't get into Xbox/PS2 until way late in it's lifecycle
Secondary school. Parents never bought me consoles in the first 12 months cus of the price premium. But my mate always got a launch console so I spent a year down his house, mostly playing SSX. Here's the list of launch titles.
I was fresh outta the military and re-acquainting myself with civilian life. It wasn't a big adjustment, since I was never deployed to an active theater.
at home playing my N64. I didn't even know the PS2 was a thing until like 2002 when my brother bought one. I do have some fond memories of playing FFX that weekend despite us having not gotten a memory card yet. I played all the way up through the Luca tournament and having Auron join the party before i had to turn the game off.
I had a PS1. Then my friend introduced me to games like Zelda and Smash Bros. and I was hooked. I bought a GC for SSBM (which I still play) and never looked back. He did however get a PS2, so we could cover all bases. However we later agreed I made the better choice, although PS2 was still unfathomably based. After that Sony evidently went to shit, so I made a good choice I'd say.
I’ve said it before but the n64 and the GameCube had some of the highest highs in certain genres, but the ps1 and ps2 had the breadth when it came to games. They were often times more medium quality but there was certain types of shit you just couldn’t get on Nintendo consoles at the time, so it all comes down to what genres or IPs are most important to you.
The gamecube had some games that looked amazing. I remember associating Nintendo with certain types of games, so i think it was underrated. If the Gamecube and PS2 had been one console, it would have been amazing.
* i forgot to add
If one console had the xbox live ui and structure, the game cube graphics capabilities, and the ps2 game library, it would have been the greatest console ever. Each one was missing what the others had.
My home, waiting for the Gamecube to come out.
still playing PS1

trading-in my ps1 + 5 ps1 games for a huge discount on the ps2 at GAME
In 4th grade
In LA visiting the grandparents, I remember on launch day the Best Buy around the corner was in the news because a white kid was beat up by a gang of blacks and his PS2 was stolen
same thing happend to some poor guy with PS4 years later
In the Andes, directly over a tall mountain.
2000? so I was 11 when it came out. and I don't think I got one until 2003-2004. fuck when did the eye toy come out? I want to say our ps2 came with an eye toy. Costco had some package deal.
>EyeToy

>I want to say our ps2 came with an eye toy

no wonder why you're retarded as fuck look at the shit you're hording in your fucking harddrive
>Drakan
>Dark Cloud
were these any good?
Dark Cloud is still kino to this day, and recently got a big fan made improvement hack
At home, didn't get one until like a week before the model with the quieter fan came out.
I weren't
being poor and having fun with a famiclone
And emulation still fucking blows for it even with troonreth/troonzek working on it
stay on /emugen/, schizo
I don’t ever go on that weird ass general, I don’t understand all their memes and schizo Russian boogeymen, doesn’t change the fact that PS2 emulation still blows
ok schizo
>say bad emulation is bad = schizo
You a developer for PCSX2?
I accept your concession.
as long you take your meds
It's starting to rival Dolphin in performance. Games that ran like shit a few years ago are playable at full speed. I was blown away by that.
Nowhere near dolphin, but it’s better yeah. Dolphin is probably an order of magnitude faster, especially when you factor in emulation speed while upscaling or other enhancements
You need to use the latest QT version. It's on par with Dolphin and will surpass it soon.
ever since pxcs2-qt it's been pretty great
At home because my family were poorfags and couldn't afford it.
Still playing my N64. I was a N64 and GameBoy Color babby. Pretty sure I got a GBA before getting a PS2. I didn't get into Xbox/PS2 until way late in it's lifecycle
Fighting the masses at Electronics Boutique
I don't know, probably eating baby food or something. I was 6 months old when it released.
Not playing it.
Secondary school. Parents never bought me consoles in the first 12 months cus of the price premium. But my mate always got a launch console so I spent a year down his house, mostly playing SSX. Here's the list of launch titles.
missing a few
>missing
that launch list is so fucking sovl.
shitty quality
Such a disappointing follow up to RR Type 4
they made an unreal tournament for ps2??
just wait until you find out about half life with full mouse+keyboard support
There’s UT and quake 3 for Dreamcast also. And railroad tycoon 2 lmao. It was a weird time.
Age of Empires 2 is also on PS2 lol
And for DS! Although it’s a turn based strategy game there, and actually breddy good.
>3 fromsoftware titles at launch
even if it's shovelware that's actually quite impressive
In a baby crib.
You do realize that people born in 1998 are 25 years old right
Underage B&.

Reading magazines and looking forward to it. Got one for Christmas that year, it was pretty sweet.

Bought ps2 on KH1 release
>dark cloud on the box
Holy SHIT, what a blast from the past. Loved those games as a kid
Banger music too:
I don't know. My brother had one and I didn't.

I had both, it was no contest. Smash was good, but it was nothing compared to the PS2.
At home playing Yu-Gi-Oh with a friend.

>poorfag
>got it late and didn't even modchip it

I was slipping around in the bathtub
I was 3. I didn't get my PS2 until 2006.
Playing N64, probably Turok or Goldeneye
I didn't get a ps2 until like 2005. I was rocking the n64 and my model 3 genesis until then
Jerking my wiener to EGM ads.
