Can we take a moment to acknowledge how vastly superior this consoles library was compared to the competition at the time and how only the PS2 was the only console to best it.

>> No.7477512

ps2s library is actually kinda shit. dreamcast had way better exclusives, xbox had way better multiplats. only games I go back to the ps2 for are JRPGs. ps1 was great though.

I think it's a little sad, makes games as a whole feel more homogenized. There's a novelty in an occasional spinoff but when it's a constant thing that fits standard themes and characters into different genres it deprives us of what could have been a new take. Dinosaur Planet comes to mind - it could have been a sweet one off with lovingly put together characters in a new setting - instead of homogenized itself into a starfox game. Imagine if Battle Golfer Yui was a Mario Golf game instead. No thanks.

not really. it also had this game called GTA lol. the DVD aspect of the PS2 is overblown. families weren't gathered around the PS2 watching DVDs. most just stayed on VHS until DVD was more affordable. and by 2002 DVD players were significantly cheaper than the PS2. the DVD player was not the massive selling point people like to make it out as. it was a games machine first and foremost. PS2 was never a cheap DVD player. it was an expensive system. some single guys living on their own who were going to buy a new games console anyway were perhaps swayed by the bonus DVD player, but that's about it. the DVD player was a bonus on top of the games console. nobody was buying it just for DVDs when standalone DVD players were much cheaper by 2002. the DVD player nonsense is dumb shit that just gets repeated by underage ppl
