I think a lot of the members here have really only played Nintendo consoles and just believe that everything else is garbage lol.Dark Boo said:

PS2 owned the GCN, no question about it.
Hell, it even outlasts the Wii since it has a hell of a lot more memorable games in it's library.

...you all don't read much then because I've already mentioned that I never preferred much of the games on it, thought the console had many flaws in it (This is probably from a personal experience - PS2 froze often), and I never once said I didn't like it because it was not Nintendo.Snowy said:
Heck, there are lots of video games I had liked that weren't made by Nintendo and not even on it's console. Even one that was for the PS2, hence why I even decided to post in this topic in the first place. Never once did I want to come here to put it down, but it seems like you guys are wanting me to for some reason. :what:
Just let me say what I have to say and just move on - don't just try and label me with this guy who hates things that are not Nintendo.
Some people are taking this way to personally...
At least give some legitimate reasons why you prefer other consoles to the ps2 besides that it froze on yo before, otherwise you might as just not post at all.
Many flaws? Such as what? I've never heard of the PS2 freezing being a major problem.Yoshiman222 said:
Might have been the ones I have played honestly, but usually the PS2 :Snowy said:
- Supports only 2 players at a time (Unless you but that multi-tap thing which doesn't work half the time)
- Online was terrible - but of course it was the only thing that could go online really, so I can't complain there...
- Buttons - because half the time X was to confirm and O was to confirm depending on the game. Probably those who created the games had a problem there, but still, it's how they showed the buttons.
- Memory Card loading time took way too long compared to other systems
- Freezing at load-up about 50% of the time
I kind of agree with this one but honestly I don't think a great game means to have multiplayer all the time. 2 players is enough because the PS2 was mostly consumed by arcade style fighting games, not chaotic party games like Mario Party. To say that the PS2 was not superior because of its lack of 4 player support is a tight nitpick.
Compared to a really shitty prototype of Xbox Live and no online at all for the GCN? Good job bro.
Learn how to use the goddamn buttons then. This isn't even complaining about the system itself, it's the developers' side on this one so now you're really just trying to nitpick shit out of the blue. Like I said, read the rules of the game before proceeding and you should be fine with the controls. Not a big deal.
Uh, not really. Don't know what kind of system you're playing but both my GCN and PS2 load my Memory Card fine. WAIT WHY IS THIS EVEN A COMPLAINT DAMNIT?
Yeah, if you have a shitty disc. Same deal goes with the GCN and Xbox too, bro. Unless you haven't played any game system that isn't Nintendo.
I think the ps3 is way better but the ps2 isn't that bad. it's actually pretty good.

Well duh.
The point of new systems is not to be a downgrade of the last one lol.
>Supports only 2 players at a time (Unless you but that multi-tap thing which doesn't work half the time)
Uhhhh multi-tap worked really well and at the time, most games would be splitting your screen into 4 parts, and most TVs weren't huge so it made sense.
>Online was terrible - but of course it was the only thing that could go online really, so I can't complain there...
Online was fantastic. Ever play Final Fantasy XI on PS2? Probably not, but it played exactly like the PC copy.
>Buttons - because half the time X was to confirm and O was to confirm depending on the game. Probably those who created the games had a problem there, but still, it's how they showed the buttons.
Actually, the way the controller is set up, having "O" as your confirm button was emulating the SNES controller, and having "X" as a confirm button was emulating something similar to the N64 controller.
>Memory Card loading time took way too long compared to other systems
OH NO 2 MORE SECONDS
>Freezing at load-up about 50% of the time
100% FALSE

That's like saying "Man, this computer from 2013 is better than this computer from 2005!" no shit it's better.Fireball2001 said:

How does this add to the conversation? >_>
RIP to the Playstation 2, it was one of the best systems out there and I am going to miss it. My favourite game from the System would probably have to be Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, I have many memories of that game and I just love playing it.

I remember when I was little having a PS2 then my brothers traded it in for a XBOX 360 and I was really sad but found the XBOX 360 to be much better (no offense PS2). But my brother recently bought a PS2 again. Yay. and were recollecting all the amazing games like Rayman Revolution, Twisted Metal and Ratchet And Clank 3 which was the best game of my childhood. R.I.P PS2
P.S Why were they still making PS2 games so late anyway?

People were still buying the console. That and they were still releasing new games for it (not as many though).
I think the last game they put out for the PS2 was NBA 2k13 lol
PES 2013 was the last game released, back on November 6, 2012.Snowy said:
An expansion to FFXI, Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin, will be released March 28, 2013 in Japan only, so they're aren't done yet.
PES 2013 was on PS2? Huh, we didn't get any shipments of that lol.Chubzster said:PES 2013 was the last game released, back on November 6, 2012.Snowy said:

(I think FFXI expansions are worldwide releases because, well, it's an MMO)

Wonder why GameStop wouldn't have it. Amazon has it for $20.
About the expansion for FFXI, the PS2 version is Japan-only. I'm surprised they're still adding onto FFXI.
