10 Years of PS2 (Happy Birthday) : A Hater’s Perspective

Well yeah, when the PS2 launched in North America 10 years ago tomorrow I actually disdained the thing, and didn't own one for the majority of its prime years. Yet, I still can't help but recognize it as the owner of possibly the best game library ever and possibly the most dominant console since the NES.

So the ps2 and I share the same B-day!? Happy Bday to me and ps2 today!!!!!!!!!!

What sort of idiot gamer "hates" the Ps2?

vhero4929d ago

Weird I came home after buying a PS2 (wanted a PS2 instead of a 360) for my kids christmas pressie and saw that it was PS2's birthday. Anyways I think this will be our houses 3rd PS2 in it's life and not one ever died on me just always got rid of mine in the past. Great for RPG enthusiasts (though not better than ps1) but even better as a family console.

I have 3 in my home. Purchased two at launch and one of them still works flawlessly. The other launch units disc drive gave out a couple years ago but it was the one that saw the most use. I have a couple hundred games for it scattered though out my house.

RPGs are the one thing lacking on the PS3 compared to the PS2 days. And I never played RPGs on the PSOne, but hearing about games like Chrono Cross and FF7...man, I wish I had played those.

Dnied4929d ago

you still can =) especially if you have a psp.. i enjoy playin the classics on my psp rather then seeing it stretched on the big screen =(

-Alpha4929d ago

I want a DS. Looks to have great RPGs for the handheld, but the PSP list is good too. I'm more of a DS fan, but I wouldn't mind a PSP.

I plan on selling my 360 and getting a handheld anyway.

Capdastaro4929d ago

Wow you have a kid?

I'm assuming then you let your kids spout fanboyish crap all over here then and its not you?

tacosRcool4929d ago

I wish the PS3 just had some good games that really meant something to the people who played them. Most games now are just really all about the graphics with really no substance. I miss the glorious PS2 days

10 year plan for ps2 C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E.

-Alpha4929d ago

It can keep going, since it keeps selling. And since decent games still actually come out for it.

Simco8764929d ago

PS2 had a great run, but its over now.

Sony should just start digitally releasing its PS2 library on the Playstation Store, just like they do with PS1 games.

JadedWriter4929d ago

PS2 will never die!!!!! at least not within the next 2-3 years.

CimmerianDrake4929d ago

And what will those games play on? Remember, the new PS3's can't do PS2 playback.

tatsukishi4929d ago

I still have my launch PS2 ad it works great! best console gen so far.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger884d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH2d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan2d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

8 Years Later, It's About Time Sony Revives The Rest Of Ratchet And Clank

Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."

shinoff21835d ago (Edited 5d ago )

It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though

purple1015d ago

Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC5d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos4d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga4d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer5d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6025d ago (Edited 5d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya5d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde5d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP5d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
