let us all pay respects to the greatest video game console of all time m

I have the very first one ever sold in the state of Montana back when you could only find consoles in the biggest city in the state at only one store in the mall. Was the first one in line with my older brother came with tekken tag tournament and it still runs like a fucking tank.

I want to have sexual relations with my PS2!

Dead serious Billings Montana back then was the only place to get consoles it was before best buy and shit. It was one store in the local mall. I also had the first N64 sold here as well but it had Dr. Pepper spilled on it and shit out on me.

>ps2
>weak as fuck
t. First console was 360 or PS4

I think you uploaded the wrong image op

but that's okay, everyone makes mistakes

...

Took PS4 over a year to have a better looking game then Soul Caliber. on Dreamcast.

ironic shitposting is still shitposting

I lost mine. And I sold all the games. ;_;

Thinking of buying one. Should I get a ps2 slim or a dreamcast?

I may get both eventually but which first?

It was okay. Certainly better than the PS3. What an awful console. Only piece of equipment I've ever regretted purchasing.

PS2*

It was the weakest console of the sixth generation.
Even the Dreamcast could run Sonic at 60fps, PS2 played Sonic at 30fps.

>PS2
>greatest
That's not the SNES, PS1 or Dreamcast.

I just realized that i really like the design of the ps2... I wish i still owned one.

>no games
>greatest console of all time

OP said best, Not most overrated.

but the ps2 was also a ps1

That's not the Neo Geo

Freudian slip

>"we have made a console that is stronger than the PS2 in every single way. this will put nintendo back on the radar"
>"do you have any final touches mister miyamoto?"
"make the discs really tiny with little storage space"
>"b-b-b-ut mister miyamoto, this would kill third party support!"
>"do it."
>"but sir, don't you remember how 64mb cartridges killed the N64's third pa-"
>"DO IT"
why did he do it

Looking back it really is an imaginative, interesting design.

>But then the GCN would be cute and tiny.

It almost got me laid once. Kingdom Hearts was involved though so it was a handicap.

One day a video game console or video game will get me laid. Maybe it won't be soon, but one day.

Because storage space was and still is irrelevant.. Save for JRPGs. Just because you grew up with games that required 50 gigs of uncompressed audio and cutscenes doesn't mean that should be standard.

>Implying that was Miyamoto's call
>Not Yamauchi still PTSD from the massive piracy the Famicom Disk System sufferered.

Did it ever die?

F

The og xbox was better than ps2 imo.

How many ps2s you guys have?

>God hand with 73 metascore

>left mine at a friend's apartment
>he loses it, I move on because I'd just bought a ps4
>just got it back last week
>he lost the cables
>I still had the power cable but not the A/V
>ran out to buy one
>get home
>ps2 tells me to insert format disk

Reminder IGN called God Hand bad and gave it like a 3/10.

someone has been paying attention for some time now.

>textures on the n64 are compressed as shit and look like vomit in comparison to the ps1's crisp textures despite the n64 being much more capable than the PS1
>n64 lost final fantsy 7 which went onto being the second best selling game on the PS1 because it couldn't fit on the cartridge
lol

>comparing mommy's waggle machine to the ps2

>Format Disk
What?

>Dreamcast
Wat? It has no good games. And they're all overpriced.

How was there not a Best Buy in Billings, Montana at the turn of the millennium?
I lived in a shitty midwestern town/city (because of proximity to the city) in the 90s and we had a Best Buy from day 1.

I had 1 fat and 2 slims

>N64 and PS1
Well first, you're a massive retard as we're talking about the gamecube and PS2. And second, is that way the PS1's aliasing and textures looked like literal shit at times?
LOL.

I never use no games as an argument but seriously that would just not have enough games. I loved it though and still do.

It means the laser died and can't read my games

>b-b-b-but muh library of games

Yeah using library of video games to justify why video game console is good, what a shit argument.

hmm i do not see the ps1 in ops pic

two, for some reason my original fat one wont play my scratched up silent hill 4 but this dinky little ps2slim will play it, i justify in my 'tower of power' bc now one ps2 is a dedicated ps1, one ps2, one ps3, and recently i fixed a broken ps4 so the tower is complete

not mentioned : my nintendo wii

PS1 isn't great. Good but not great. Best thing about it was Square's high point in new IPs.

>one day
>talks about KH almost getting you laid like 30 years ago when it came out
Buddy...

>Not buy a slim or a fat with a network adapter and using opl to play any game for free with better load times straight from your pc

What the fuck are you guys doing.

>"lol storage space doesn't matter"
>it actually kills the n64's third party support and n64 misses out one one of the best selling games ever made
>"LOL THAT DOESN'T COUNT SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GC WHICH ALSO GOT DESTROYED BY THE PS2 SINCE IT USED PROPRIETARY DISCS THAT HELD LITTLE DATA AND THIRD PARTIES DIDN'T WANT TO FUCK WITH"

The PS2 was a bag of shit. It was basically just the family DVD player with a pile of popular junk to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Sup Forums claims it's the gamer's choice, with a vast library of JRPGs, but in reality, the games people actually bought for it were FIFA and GTA. Pic related is a typical collection of PS2 trash.

Bought a slim one month ago to play what i missed, my first console desu

>Cherry picks PS2 games
>PS2 is a bad console!
>mfw

See, I would almost agree with you except I'm a bit biased toward jap shit. Also even on it's own I don't think it had enough quality games, but it was a great system with some great things happening on it.

She really liked the game! It got intimate but not sexual.

>b-but that's cherry picked
Here's another entirely different collection of shit.

Mine still plays like a fucking dream, thankfully.

I'm gonna be really sad when it dies.

>SINCE IT USED PROPRIETARY DISCS
Xbox used DVDs just like PS2 but sold just as poorly as the GC.

PS2 being the lead platform gimped virtually every multiplat on GC and XB.

>the most popular game series sell on the most popular systems

I love this non argument

Monster's Inc. Scare Island is a good game buddy, watch your mouth

>ps2 kiddies in charge of forming a coherent argument
face it, all the shit you guys blame the wii and 360 for started with the ps2. but because you grew up with it you give it a free pass

I had a fat on release, a silver slim after I got rid of the fat (huge fucking mistake not to get black), and I just got a new fat that is used, but is in very nice physical condition. Just hope I don't have a problem too soon like the lazer dying or something, it really looks like the former owner took great care of it. It just has some brownish dust in the vents, but I figure this is because the person had a pet in their house, I have never had a pet.

GC and XB were both more powerful.

PS2 games were 240-360p and upscaled, GC and XB games were native 480i/p and some XB games were even 720.

two. First one died without even play a single original cd in its whole life that dirty nigger I loved you why did u died

No it is about the PS2 has a massive variety of good games and the Wii just had Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and Xbox just had Halo 1 and 2

You literally said that the library of games, by far the most important thing a console can have, doesn't matter.
Kill yourself my man.

the original Xbox was also $500 on launch

>PS2 just had GTA and FFX!
This is how you sound.

Proving the point perfectly, PS2 did all the same shit Wii did but it gets a pass because you got one when you were six.

Just install a new dvd drive. Not like your warranty is still good.

I have a slim, so I have to put in a new laser, but if you got a fat one then it's not really hard.

>PS2 has a massive variety of good games
Can you list the good exclusives, please.

>he still believes the ''gamecube was stronger than ps2'' meme

I have 2 fatties and a slim. All but a fatty is out of commission, but I'm using a modded memory card with it. Free McBoot and a 500 GB IDE filled up with my favorite games hooked up to the network adapter.

stay ignorant

Sorry I forgot Wii Fit and Wii Music my Mommy loved those!

Comparing metascores from +10 years ago to the ones today is just fucking retarded.

Xbox launched at $300, like the PS2, and GC launched at $200.

learn to read pajeet

>the greatest console
Wait....There were good consoles?

>MGS2 & 3
>Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4
>GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas
>Bully
>Final Fantasy X, XI and XII
>Ico and Shadow of the Colossus
>God of War 1 and 2
>Dark Cloud 1 and 2
>Kingdom Hearts 2
>Devil May Cry 1, 2 and 3
>Persona 4
>Okami

and I'm skipping a fuckton of great games, off the top of my head Psi-Ops, Gran Turismos...

wii had red steel,

>ps2fags getting blown the FUCK out

>review scores

Kill yourself.

>xbox not having good games
Fuck off, I seriously bet you like 5 years old in 2001.

your mommy will also love singstar on fifa on the ps2 :)

>Exception that proves the rule
Again, many PS2 games had to be upscaled and were 360p or even 240p. Compare RE4 or Viewtiful Joe, GC blows PS2 the fuck out of the water. GC and XB were both more powerful, sorry, sweetie.

>people here are actually defending the nintendo wii

jesus christ

and whys that?

No I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm saying it's been a pretty long time since KH mate if you think a vidya or a system might get you laid someday.

>tfw all I have is a ps2 slim and a broken toaster
Been playing shinobido and RE4 mercenaries recently, Leon's weapons feel like cheap toys.

>Psi-Ops
The top of your head has primo taste.

>half the list are non-exclusives
>the other half is shit
PS2 fags everyone.

Ps2 is an essential thing to have

>Sup Forums hates the PS2
>Sup Forums hates the PS1
>Sup Forums hates the N64
>Sup Forums hates the Dreamcast
>Sup Forums hates the Genesis
>Sup Forums hates Xbox
>Sup Forums hates -insert every fucking console or handheld system ever made-

not an argument.

Sorry, we weren't all born in 2001 and had our "I only play mature games for mature gamers such as myself" phase long before the Wii came out.

I don't know what was the launch price but I know that they cut the price soon after and offered free games to those bought it.

jap og xbox exclusives > ps2 jap exclusives

>Sup Forums loves the ps2 even though sony was heavily advertising it as a dvd player in japan
I don't get why this matters??

>Be a literal who in the console market with no history or memorable IPs like Mario
>Release an overpriced 1998 Dell PC in a cool looking box and sell it for exactly twice the price of a gamecube
>Still manage to outsell the gamecube
Really blasts my processing
