The ps2 had diversity. It had games for ALL markets. Horror and strategy weren’t overlooked for homogenised FPS games. The worst thing about today’s generation is all publishers want a king game as opposed to a dozen.

[@onihaiena6152]

It's also why I now prefer Nintendo this generation. The Switch has variety.

[@SendThePainBelow86]

Every game has racing, shooting, sports, rpgs , adventure etc. How is that not variety. I think the biggest thing that makes it seem like less is the amount of multiplats. Think about it long and hard for a moment. Back to the 80's and 90's. How many games were multi platform? Now fast forward. Almost every game is multi platform. People wanted it.. now it's here but damn it sure feels like the market has dwindled in the creativity department as a result. This kind of proves your point. While the genres are there the competition is diminishing, aside from what little exclusives remain.

[@72vaan]

@@SendThePainBelow86 oh, you again? are you implying that a golf minigame in gta 5 counts as a full fledged golf game for variety? variety means having multiple actually good very specific touge themed racing games like the ps2 did, it does NOT compare to having a couple hundred meters of windy roads in driveclub, if you're satisfied with homogenised action adventure and fps games at least don't make up bullshit to prove a point that doesn't exist

The greatest thing about the ps2 was that no matter what genre you were a fan of there were a ton of games that were beyond good.

[@ivand5699]

It was the best because the hype built up with the PS1, the great games came after it was already a success because all the people that had a PS1 knew that the upgrade would be the PS2 even tho the hardware besides the DVD was pretty shit and pretty hard to program for. Thats why ken Kutaragi got fired from Sony and the PS3 wasnt as successful as it should have been, his way of doing consoles was to use weird hard to code hardware that was superior/inferior/expensive compared to better/cheaper hardware available at the time.

This so much. The variety of high quality games from big studios was absolutely mind blowing. You could literally get multiple 9/10 games from a single genre PER YEAR. Whenever somebody (me included) complains about the downfall of modern gaming, THIS is likely what always comes to mind. Alot of these gamers were used to the PS2 release schedule and the sheer variety and amount of good games being released and that simply doesnt exist anymore from the big players. Sure there are indies, but these sadly can hardly even reach the polish and "size" of PS2 games (which already had dozens to hundreds of devs working on them).

[@SirrSmirksalot]

My top 5 ps2 Games? In order, I suppose: Genji: Dawn of The Samurai God of War 2 The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning GTA: San Andreas Resident Evil IV Those games right there were practically my LIFE as a kid. I got God of War 2 by renting it from Blockbuster and forgetting to ever return it. So, after my dad paid double for it, I got to keep it, lol. The PS2 and the Nintendo 64 were what made up 80% of my childhood. Okay, 85%

[@SirrSmirksalot]

My love for Genji later spawned my love for Dark Souls, having given me that bloodlust for boss battles and intense areas filled with enemies and collecting newer and better armors. Last year, Nioh brought back so many memories of slicing open horrid beasts in Genji. And I of course still adore the entire God of War series, which I’ve collected across multiple consoles over the years. Man. The PS2 is definitely the best console ever made, hands down.

The issue now is that big companies like EA have to keep their stock prices up so the developers, who DO put effort and love into their games are forced to make bad decisions.

[@paranoiaaod512]

What are you talking about? You pay $60 for a half of a game, then you get to pay even more for DLC (especially pay to win games). Instead of sequels, we get "remastered" games which have slightly better graphics, but you still pay full price for a game you bought already. I love video games but don't act like this is the golden age of gaming when you have companies like EA milking their customers for all they are worth.

[@beastvicious8672]

There was much more diversity in the PS2/GameCube era, than there's ever been.

[@clapatussy]

Video games today are a fantastic value. You say games are incomplete, etc. But think about it like this. You purchase a DVD/Blu Ray movie for $20-25. You get 90-120 minutes of absolutely linear entertainment. Compare that to any AAA title today which rarely has less than 10 hours of gameplay, many of which go into the 20s, 30s, 40s of hours of gameplay. You pay $60 for this “unfinished game”. What more do you expect? Someone offers you 40 hours of gameplay for $60 but it’s not enough. Doesn’t make sense. You want more content, pay for it. I’d say if you get at least 10 hours of entertainment out of any game, you’ve gotten your $60 worth. Period.

It's still important today because it's the last good console.

[@dhgmrz17]

HAZARDOUS88 So, true. You didn't buy just for the exclusives you bought for the console itself, now Consoles are so useless that only thing going for them is the exclusives. Even if the PS2 had no exclusives I would have still got it.

[@absolutelynologic8099]

Jody Boles It's the foundation that everything after it was built on. It's from a time before the gaming industry was as ridiculously profitable as it is today. That's important, because profit is all these companies care about. Back then, good games = good money. There was no micro transactions. No DLC. No updates. The companies had to get everything right on the first time. Now I'm not saying that today's games aren't as good, but you didn't see any Battlefront 2 situations in that era. Despite the fact it didn't have DLC or micro transactions, look at how profitable that thing was! And like the video said, their marketing really helped. Which really showed that they cared about the console being great, but for whatever reason Sony doesn't market like that anymore *cough look at the vita cough*.

[@zxmoore1]

Let's make this simple, the PS2 was the entertainment center of your bedroom/family room. Not only were the games spectacular and full of storyline diversity, but it helped promote the age of the dvd. Every kid from junior high school to college had a dvd collection and because of the low cost of the PS2, it became possible. Not to mention its earlier releases that were backward compatible and its ability to play cds. This thing was/is a legend. Hall of Fame worthy.

[@felipepadilla8001]

I was the only one of my friends that didn't own a PS2. I missed out on that generation of gaming. I seriously stopped playing video games for about 6 years... Until I met this girl. We started dating and video games would come up in several of our conversations. Some of the fondest memories of my childhood were with a SNES and a PS1. She asked why now, as an adult, I hadn't bought a PS3 or an Xbox. I didn't really know what to answer... My birthday came around, and lo and behold, this girl bought me a PS3. The original one, that was backwards compatible. I finally got to play PS2 AND PS3 games. RE4, GOW, Tekken Tag, Ratchet & Clank, MGS 2&3... oh man. Don't get me wrong, I always made time for this girl. How could I not. She doesn't even like video games. Fast forward to today... I now own a PS4 and play games with my son. The same girl that gave me a second (and better) childhood also made me a father. I just knew I would marry her back then.

[@smittyjohnson9554]

Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter sum up my childhood. I love all of those franchises today at 25 as much as I loved them when I was 10. I love modern gaming but the early 2000s were a goldmine.

[@theMosen]

Tbh, the PS2 owes the bulk of its success to the fact that it was the successor of the PS1. The PS2 sold 155 million units and that's impressive, but even more impressive is the fact that the PS1 sold over 100 million units a full console generation earlier, back when the console market was much smaller. Sure, Sony did everything right, they managed to hang on to the game studios, franchises and customers (pretty much everyone with a PS1 eventually bought a PS2, and so did their younger siblings). Integrating the DVD was also a damn good idea. But the credit really goes to the PS1 for being the first 32-bit console with to power to streamline 3D graphics, thus redefining console gaming and making the industry explode.

[@taz874]

moismyname ofcourse the credit goes to the ps1 but credit is still due to the ps2. I mean look at the ps3 that followed the success of two previous generation consoles while also incorporating a bluray player and yet it struggled in sales in its early years. I mean the ps3 really only picked up abit later in its life when the price dropped. The ps2 could of easily ended up like the ps3 where it lost to the xbox in the beginning and only picked up later in sales

[@Soldano999]

In fact coming from the PS1 te PS2 turned out to be disappointng for me. Metal Gear and Final Fantasy X were not as good as i expected, Wipeout was garbage, Silent Hill 2 as a masterpiece though. But overall the PS1 as more fun, fast, more arcade type games and better RPG's.

[@laithghamyan1901]

moismyname nah, sorry. Your arguments are flawed. While it was impressive that the ps1 sold This much units in a time where the market was smaller, the ps2 completely changed gaming as we know it. Gaming went mainstream, online play was starting to be much more emphasized. Even the MOST average games on the ps2 were great. Most people who are gamers or even families have the ps2 or even started with it as their first console, like me. The ps2 also had the ps1’s library at its disposal, essentially making the ps1 look pointless to buy when comparing it to ps2. While the ps1 was a very impressive console, I believe that there will never be anymore consoles like the ps2 that changed the gaming landscape as much as it did.

Caden Wilkerson It's because we don't have the red ring of death, and we're not as stubborn with our games as Nintendo. Yeah, the PS4 can crash, but it works just fine right after. With XBOX, you might as well say "Welp, maybe I should've bought a Sony product after all!" Also, we have, by far, the best controller designs with Dualshock 1-4. (Seriously, fuck the XBOX controllers, any console who's original controllers have uneven analog sticks has immediately committed a sin. I am aware that there are PS4 controllers modelled after the XBOX One, but those are basically customized.)

[@rodneyh1947]

The original xbox live was revolutionary in the console market. I think microsoft deserves more credit for what they brought with the xbox. The ps2 was very weak in the LAN party and massive multiplayer online games. The original xbox had a DVD player also. The reason the PS2 won was because it was riding the coat tail of the PS1, marketed way more than the Xbox, and had more third party developer ties due to their run from the PS1. Microsoft had to develop most of the games for the original xbox from their own studios. And also the PS2 was supported longer than all the other systems. All these factors made it sold the most. If you dont drop support for it, then you will sell more, pretty simple principle. I believe if Microsoft supported the original Xbox longer and got more third party developers, it would have been pretty successful, since the original xbox was more reliable than the xbox 360. I liked the og xbox more than the ps2 because of the xbox live, I had so much fun. With the ps2, you are mostly by yourself playing rpgs, and single player games. They had many good ones and a large variety, but nothing like the LAN and online capability the xbox had, which has defined a big part of modern console gaming. Also the og xbox had its own harddrive, no need for memory cards.

I'm sorry. You could have played so many better games if you stuck with PS.Xbox was great for the couple titles they had, but Sony wiped the floor with everybody as usual. The only exception is PS3, but that still outsold xbox360.

Rodney Huang Years after I got ride of my PS2, a friend of mine had some shooter, forgot the name, but one of the menu options was online mutiplayer. I was surprised that the PS2 even had it and I never really saw Sony advertising it's online service. Its thanks to Microsoft that console mutiplayer gaming grew.

yeah the 360 is probably the best console i've ever owned and had some of the best experiences with it from the early days with halo 3 which at the time seemed to be played by EVERYONE. the 360 controller is still my favourite controller of all time and many other people too as its the most used controller in the world. i still actually go back to playing older console exclusive games on the 360 as it had the best versions between itself and the ps3 like red dead redemption and gta 4 (which was on pc but an abortion port).

Cody Clark 360 was waaaaay better then PS3, it barely outsold the 360.

Playstation 2 was a big deal because of the exclusives! WWE smackdown series! dbz series!

My top 5 owned PS2 games 1. Grand Theft Auto 3 2. Metal Gear Solid 2 3. Tekken 3 (PS1 Fav. Version) 4. Grand Turismo 4 5. Need for Speed Underground I had a lot of multiplayer games versus single player growing up as an identical twin. Meant I always had a friend for multiplayer. The game changer was Golden Eye (N64) allowing us to invite friends over and destroy. Good times.

[@GymmyRhys]

you mean Goldeneye Rogue Agent? Goldeneye was a 5th generation game, Goldeneye Rogue Agent wasnt very good imo, Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing and From Russia with Love were better

[@JugglernautNr9]

Tekken 3 wasn't a playstatoin 2 game. Maybe you mean tekken tag tournament?

[@Gr3en]

The Freeman Initiative for N64

[@Gr3en]

chris hayate na Tekken 3 just played in on PS2 as it was my fav. version

[@GyrusBeatz]

Tekken 5 was the best imo played it all the time on PS2

The PS2 intro sound is so nostalgic. We used to visit our dad in the weekends, where we all sat up all night, playing!

Saving a game without turning it off if you don’t have a memory card the hustle of Ps2 owners do remember 🎮

[@javianbrown8627]
