I'd rather play a masterpiece for the rest of my life than have 1000 throwaway games.

That's every system. You may notice it more because of the size of the library, but they all have the same amount of shit. The difference is with the massive amount of games, the ratio for good games is better than the rest.

Several great games (all of which would be better on the xbox). The rest are shovelware.

The good games on PS2:
The Getaway
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Final Fantasy XII
Killzone

Probably some more i've forgotten besides ports from the Dreamcast and Gamecube which should have been on the Xbox as well.

Xbox was a great console, very impressive, it's flicker filter or something, however it rendered things, it looked better than any other platform and hasn't been matched since.

It deserved more attention and a longer lifespan.

MS should have waited longer, watched Sony fail to deliver and then provided aomething that could. Kept pal & ntsc as standard. Even offered a better disc standard eg holographic.

Seeing such a shit console as the ps2 get celebrated is always disgusting. MS did it right and should have continued to do so, even if it's unprofitable. Eventually people could be weaned away for an aquired taste for shit.

Trying to remember an old game I played with my Dad when I was little. It was a third-person shooter similar to Resident Evil 4 but it wasn't horror. I remember needing to shoot terrorists (maybe?). It had the pace of RE4 but it definitely wasn't a Resident Evil game, I remember the PC looking similar to Leon Kennedy though. It was on either PS1 or PS2. Any ideas?

The polygons have aged like milk, but it has some of the best 2D JRPG titles ever created.

Way higher than that. The PS2 has over 4300 games, and there sure aren't 430 PS2 games worth playing. Only the Wii has a worse shovelware to decent game ratio.

Cold Fear is an awesome and under appreciated game. PC port is great too and works on modern systems, pretty sure it can be picked up as abandonware these days.

Shovelware is a term with same amount of specificity that calling someone an autist has in 2024
>It means it was pushed out the door
That's almost every video game ever
>it means is a bad game
Being bad doesn't mean it's shovelware
>It means it was some sort of cash grab to sell merch off an IP
Once again, most licensed games
>It means I don't like it
Yeah

As a corsair starting from zero,
What do I gotta do to get my PS2 going with a nice hard drive of all the games? Less important: how many TBs would I need. I've done Wii/U and 3/DS before.
