Everyone knows the PS2 and Gamecube are the 2 best consoles, but which one is the best?

dreamcast > gamecube

xbox 2nd place

anon come on.

cube for 4 player party games
ps2 for playing dvds

Only the strongest will survive. Gamecube shitted and died.

Cube won overall. It's cherished these days while the PS2 is poverty third world shithole machine.

I grew up with your mom so father never came back from his cigarette run.

only the strongest will survive

irony of the highest order from someone that puts the dreamcast anywhere besides a landfill

GameCube doesn't even exist outside the internet

This game is overrated as shit. Some of the most bland environments you will ever see and really questionable mechanics.

gamecube sliding in like people wouldn't notice

*shits all over the entire PS2's library in your path*

The gamecube? That shit looks like a baby's lunch box
I ain't tryna play my games with no lunch box
P S double baby

take a shower you stinky latinx

Terrible bait, but you got a few (You)s including mine, so well done anon

DC only wins because it has more Doom games and real fighting games.

Some of the most bland environments you will ever see

Gacha Force takes that crown.

Truth, tendies keep coping though.

In what world is this more bland than a grey office building?

the ps1 tier texture warping in the sky. lmao. Floating void like it's a 5th gen 3D game. With shit games like this it's no wonder the cube lost hard.

Xbox is a dead brand and has been for ten years. Gamecube is still relevant in 2025. Who really won here?

Being popular with third worlders discovering emulation is hardly a positive trait.

I know right, PS2fags never shut up about their poverty machine.

imagine a random autistic guy proving that n64 had the potential to overshadow the competition

RE1 remake is the only GC exclusive here that's truly great. Would rather have GTA, Shadow of the Colossus, Persona, and Silent Hill over any of those other GC exclusives
Halo shits on Prime. Persona 3 & 4 and FFX are all comparable jrpgs to Thousand Year Door. Melee is cool with 4 controllers, but PS2 has like 15 fantastic fighting games

had both of them back in the day

as well as a GBA and a Dreamcast

I enjoyed the Dreamcast the most, hands down.

RE1 remake is the only GC exclusive

I mean for its time, but it's a very literal adaptation of a PS1 game. And its been ported to a dozen different platforms since. It's not remotely exclusive and if anything the cube version is the worst one these days.

Would rather have GTA, Shadow of the Colossus, Persona, and Silent Hill over any of those other GC exclusives

You must really hate good gameplay. Like actively despise it.

It's not remotely exclusive and if anything the cube version is the worst one these days.

Oh yeah I love 2012 era remasters with blurry photoshop filter backgrounds and broken lighting. So much better than the original.

I'm having trouble thinking of any Gamecube games with good gameplay. It would seem there aren't any.

Xbox had the best multiplats

Not my fault you're ignorant of good games in your poverty stricken hellhole.

Aren't you emulating games at high res anyway? That's how you're playing gamecube slop as it is. What does it matter to you? What a disingenuous shitposter.

Are you going to start posting some good games or do we all have to keep waiting?

The gamecube holds its own with some of the best games of the generation as exclusives, but the same can be said about the ps2 and it's not even really a contest

Aren't you emulating games at high res anyway?

While not an ideal way to play a prerendered game, it's still superior to playing the remaster with the filtered backgrounds and broken lighting (2010's remaster staples). Ideally you play it on a CRT at 480i.

xbox had such noteworthy titles like halo and.... umm......

objectively the PS2 was the best. the gamecube has aged gracefully and the games are a lot more fun to play today, and the graphics hold up well. in the blockbuster rental era? PS2 was leagues above the GCN and the xbox. xbox was good if you were a late adopter, or got gamecube for xmas in 2001. it was superior to PS2 and brought the online shit with it. but in 2025 if i'm emulating any games from that era? its from the gamecube 100% of the time. thanks for reading my blog post, please like and subscribe, i hate jews

If I had to go back in time, I would immediately get Animal Crossing and the GBA player. This two give Gamecube a near infinite amount of gameplay hours.

Just say "yes, I'm a hypocrite and troll."
Save us all the time. GC has no genuine fans, only contrarian hipsters.

GC has no genuine fans, only contrarian hipsters.

This is coming from the Blinx "fan"

Objectively it's the PS2. There are many more iconic and quality games simply by number alone than GC.

My first console purchase was a ps2. My brother had the GameCube but the games were too childish. Only reason that I didn't get an Xbox instead was because San Andreas had just come out and wouldn't be released on Xbox for another year. Ps2 had a better selection of exclusive games for my taste.

What the fuck did Xbox even have besides Halo at that time?

Baby's first turn based RPG for babies beating anything on the PS2

You are literally an inexperienced child.

Halo 2

nta but paper mario definitely mogs the gay ass fucking weebshit on the PS2. if you want real RPG's you play PC CRPG's anyway rather than loser JRPG slop.

Nothing good until half life 2

I love the GC but the PS2 had too damn many hits during years, GC also had some serious bangers but in far less amount than PS2.

A better and more fair comparison would be GBA vs PS2

KoTOR
Fable
JSRF

You don't have to be a slavish fanatic to enjoy something. Maybe one day Xbox emulation will get there for you Pele.

Were you not born yet?

So just Halo?
Half Life is mainly PC so I'm not counting it.

Halo shits on Prime.

Jak 2

GTA for babies with objectively the worst open world in any game ever. Absolute trash game.

KOTOR and JSRF are based off an IP so that's cheating.
Forgot about Fable. Anything else?

Persona 3 & 4 and FFX are all comparable jrpgs to Thousand Year Door.

beating wario's woods for the 50th time

snapping out of your puzzle game daze

you're back in your house in animal crossing

go talk to some stupid bear character

he calls you a faggot and then walks off

animal crossing for gamecube was pretty sick

Getting filtered by Jak II

Time honored tradition among shitters and journos.

Paper Mario is not even the best Mario RPG game and a RPG where you only control 1 to 2 character for turn based combat is pointless and stupid. Needless to say, its nowhere on the level on Final Fantasy, Xenosaga, etc.

manchildren arguing over fucking consoles from the early 2000s thread

this is the saddest and most pathetic fucking thread ive seen in a while

The piece of shit reviewed well though. It's exactly what every brainless retarded wanted at the time, so it's expected.

Fuck off and go post about how much of a faggot your are for the male protagonist in the 294083458th GTA6 thread as if the game is not over a year away from releasing, idiot.

BAWWWW THE GAME IS TOO HARD

You are bad at videogames.

The hard part is staying interested in such a generic game. GTA cursed gaming with the padding of driving to your objective, literally the most anti fun bullshit imaginable. Gotta love the multiple turret segments too, shitty 6th gen game staple.

Final fantasy wasnt good anymore after ff9 and xenosaga sucks. You're a fuckin idiot

How DARE you insult Holy Lord Nintembo. They created millions of magical childhoods and if you don't worship them, you are a LE SNOY.

FFX and Xenosaga 3 are easily some of the best JRPGs of all time. FFX is not even debatable.

I just hacked my Wii U over the weekend. What are the must play Gamecube games? So far I've started Metroid Prime Trilogy and an Animal Crossing town

F-Zero GX
Super Monkey Ball 1&2

Play DS games anon, I would kill for a Hacked WiiU

Anyways pic related are my games

Eternal darkness
Mario strikers
Mario sunshine

Gamecube by far and I own a ps2 in my childhood and shit on tendies on the regular.
PS2 is laggy fucking mess, most of its library has become unplayable on its orginal hardware and its best exclusive Shadow of the colossus is improved 10 billion time by the remake. Dualshock 2 as well is utterly mogged by gamecube controller which is to this day a top3 controller of all time.
Obviously Gamecube library is like uncomparable to the ps2.

ffx was trash and so is your taste

unhinged ugly fat retard i dont give a fuck abut GTA and specifically have it filtered. its just fucking retarded to be a """""""""man"""""""" in your 30s and console warring over old consoles like a low T tranny.

I agree that the cube was best console but ps2 had many more amazing games

You're that one crazy dude that posts about how bad you think the PCSX2 emulator is, aren't you?

Man, 6th gen really was the best.
PS2, Gamecube, GBA, Xbox and Dreamcast all had banger libraries.

The last golden gen. Coincidentally, also the last SD era - feels like the Wii was the last of that breed.

My older cousin lent us his gamecube while our ps2 was sent away to be repaired but all we ever played on it was pokemon with the gameboy player
I can't even remember what games he had, at the time I only cared about Pokemon and was stoked to play it on a bigger screen

I mean I agree MGS3, FF10, shadow of the colossus, okami are all great games and absolute classics but ALL of them are absolutely unplayable on their original hardware as I said.
Just try to play okami on the original ps2 it's an absolute horror how fucking unergonomic the game is, if anyone ask me I'd recommend them to play it on emulator 100% of the time.
Same goes for shadow of the colossus barely coughing up 20fps in the fog meanwhile the ps4 version is the real version of the game and should be played over the original 100% of the time no matter how nostalgiafags may seethe, it's just the truth.
There is no world where I would pick playing Metroid Prime on the gamecube over any ps2 games on the ps2.

ALL of them are absolutely unplayable on their original hardware

Insane statement.

This is literally the only example of being able to do something even slightly out of sequence in this movie game.

The very webm your posted is struggling to shit more than 25fps and honestly it's a good perf considering the fucking game can drop to 10 on certain locations.

I'm awful at video games

I can tell.

If you're struggling, just admit it and improve. Looking for excuses is pussy shit.

I call it the nintendo shitcube. Ps2 had persona 3+4 and bully so for me it wins.

There's a reason it's only that one webm that gets posted. Nothing else in the game is spontaneous or improvisational. One minor physics exploit is all the deviation you get in a playthrough. I guess it's 99.9% movie game then.

Unironically the DS is the best console ever made and if you count Hacked Systems, it is the 3DS

I don't see the issue, the framerate makes it look really cinematic and like an animated movie comes to life. I played the PS3 version but if I grew up playing the PS2 version it probably would've been my top 5 games of all time.

This was a total low point for the big 3

Metroid Prime: Inferior to Super Metroid

Wind Waker: the worst 3D Zelda not on the Switch

Sunshine: Inferior to 64

people who play these games vanilla on original hardware are subhuman retards when you can play them in native 4K, same goes for Switch

You don't play videogames, you advertise emulators on the internet.

it look really cinematic and like an animated movie comes to life

because it is, a movie.

Quiet down tendiefag, we've seen what you play.

*ahem*
Both

Final fantasy shit of all things

comparable to ttyd

you had me in the first half

Base taste
I'm here with you anon

It's not though. You actually play the game.

You actually play the game.

It's barely interactive.

Everyone knows the PS2 and Gamecube are the 2 best consoles

Only zoomers think this

name a better console than those two.

The shitstation 2 is responsible for most of the worst things to ever happen to video games.

single handedly created the casual audience

started the trend or game consoles as multimedia devices

introduced the concept of always online console games

removal/disincentivizing local multiplayer

Its a shit console. Gamecube all the way.

you faggots say this but i've went back to the snes/ps1 era and its 90% slop. there are like 5 games on each console that hold up today

the casual ps2groid can't handle actual video games

Story as old as time by now.

It absolutely does

Despite being a linear game, Halo has more backtracking through the same environments than Metroid Prime.

name 10 games on the snes that are good then so i can know your taste is dogshit. i've played plenty of them so i'll be able to properly judge how retarded you are

When time marches on, what really matters for these consoles is which ones emded up having the most all time classics. Having a billion mediocre or shitty games is meaningless. The Gamecube, and even the Dreamcast, have the lions share of all time classics from this gen. There are a small handful on the Xbox and PS2, but almost all of the games that ended up matterimg were on Gamecube and Dreamcast. There's a reason no one gives a shit about collecting shitty ps2 games. It has no reala legacy.

What exactly do you think "interactive" is?

caring about meme K

You're an ape.

ESL babble or phone poster. Either way you can sense the retardation coming from this post.

you'd never pay full price for these games in current year. i don't know some of those games but considering you have shit like chrono trigger on here i wouldn't trust your opinion

Forget about who’s the best, games were better optimized back then and systems were pushed to their limit

youtu.be/i-k9MGiiUR8?si=V543TN8m9Kl_nJW5

you'd never pay full price for these games in current year

I know right, they don't even have objective marker open world checklists. Is it even a game if it isn't damaging my hippocampus with literal brainrot game "design"? I think not.

Ps2 is the goat of shovelware. Ps1 had better games. There are only a handful of worthwhile ps2 exclusives

Hilarious how people only think of showers whenever Melee is brought up, it’s like they let competitive shit live rent free in the head purposefully

anon my favorite games are from the ps2, n64, and classic PC RPGs. I even have some favorites on the snes. I'm just saying that a lot of the games from that era don't hold up today. in the current year there's no reason to play a lot of that shit

Ps2
I love the cube but it would be higly delusional of my part to deny that the Ps2 didn't trashed the cube to the point that nintendo was giving them away for 100$ bucks.

If I could go back I would give my younger self F-Zero GX and Warioware Twisted

Big Cat Sexo

Ninja Gaiden Black was the SHIT

they dont hold up to you because you are a fuckin moron

Everyone knows the PS2 and Gamecube are the 2 best consoles

It's arguable that Xbox was a stronger competitor than gamecube. PS2 is obviously better. But i don't know why you're willing to knock OG xbox for no reason since it had good exclusives.

It's arguable that Xbox was a stronger competitor than gamecube

It's objective. Halo 2 was the biggest game at the time and the Xbox left the cube in the dust for sales.

The PS2.
Not even going to argue, there's no need, it's the PS2. Simple as.

Pikmin and Animal Crossing mog PS2 movie slop.

everyone's an idiot except me since they can't get into games I was forced to play when I had nothing else as a kid

you need to find a new hobby anon. video games aren't so important that you need to waste your life playing mediocre shit just because modern games are trash

Yeah obviously Microsoft first party knocked it out of the park with Halo. And that's why Nintendo went into that phase of wanting to find the 'halo killer' being Geist. Which was not a Halo killer. But even all of the third party games they secured from SEGA after dreamcast's failure is the massive points to it's library.

Why do people shit on PS2/GC graphics? They still look amazing to me.

take a shower

In the PS2's case it's because they're ugly. Considering it was the poverty machine it shaped what most think the generation looked like.

Only one system let me climb up a giant fox woman, so...
I actually like both, owned a GC and a neighbor kid I was friends with and the YC I went to had a PS2, so I was good.

not even 5 7/10+ games in this pic

It's an edit, here's the original.

Gamecube had issues

1. Hard to develop games on.
2. Disk didn't have enough space
3. Nintendo was still being stingy about 3rd parties.

>terranigma

slop

It's rarely done with a comparison, and if it is, it's about some shovelware that nobody ever considers exemplary.

Gamecube
Disgustingly comfy console

shovelware that nobody ever considers exemplary.

Sounds like practically every game in your image.

gamecube is not best at anything except being a flag that can be waved to signal the worst taste on the planet

Seems to be the case. Pure aesthetic diarrhea. Very much the pickme's console.

Pure aesthetic diarrhea

Sounds like pic related.

how to destroy an IP with your fetish

Underdeveloped taste.

Only those will developed taste can appreciate the DeviantArt stylings of Nomura-san.

That series died because of that shit.

Cute fuckable femboy.

Far more appealing than the jimmy neutron style of mario games at the time, or whatever treasure was trying in wario world.

If that's appealing to you then you have unironic autism. Nomura is responsible for unleashing a Sonic tier virulent strain of autism.

It's more interesting than the generic CG look common on Gamecube games, which weren't very impressive visually. The conformity in their visual style did it no favors. You just have safe taste and don't like it when things challenge it.

This is what advanced good taste looks like... if you have autism.

A low res over-sized youtube compressed thumbnail? Why do you have innate disability with communication?

Xbox. Both PS2 and GC are shit.

Ah yes the problem with that image is the compression.

What makes you act like a dysfunctional child?

480p halves the performance available for nothing. Absolutely nothing on the TVs of the time.

480p halves the performance available for nothing

Not on well designed consoles. Zero performance impact and much sharper image quality.

tendie

It's the PS2. The library's too big and varied to ignore.

Nice bait

6th gen vs current gen

Paulie is the Switch

The PS2's a great system but I have never cared for it at all. I used to go over to my best bro's house after school and play the thing every day, yet I have not an ounce of nostalgia for it. Our best times were always with Nintendo games or taking turns playing shit on the PC. Gamecube's the better system in my eyes, though it's got a significantly lower amount of games. Hell, I'd even take an Xbox over the PS2. PS2 sucks if you don't care for shit like Persona, DMC, or God of War.

that's a funny way of saying 2nd best

"git god" has never been powerful enough of an excuse to cover up for really narrow hub streets, pedestrians and vehicles all over the place that cockblock you in most of the optional challenges, linear story progression with close to 0 cheats to fuck around in a sand box and poor collect-a-thon remnants as a side thing as the only thing bearing such cheats. You think it is, but it isn't.

You've identified the challenge, now improve at it.

The challenge is enjoying such asinine game "design". Not worth it unless you're a major Sony fanboy.

Ninja Gaiden bro

Buckling under a challenge means the game beats you. So many pretenses to hide the fact you're bad.

The game is boring and tedious, not challenging.

You lost and the only solution is to beat the game. No other way of saving face.

drive down rat urethra width streets littered with car kidney stones to each and every mission

This kind of padding makes a game simply not worth it. Again fuck GTA for inventing this absolute garbage.

Recently played Summoner 2 on both Gamecube (via wii) and PS2 and it is kind of representative. Gamecube seems like it would be better at first glance, but upon further inspection, PS2 is the way to go. Gamecube runs at 60 fps, but has frequent and intense slowdown into single digits. PS2 is steady 30. Gamecube is higher resolution, but it is missing all of the colored lighting effects. So the game looks sharp, but flat, like a PC port of the time.

Gamecube was BY FAR the worst 6th gen console. Even the GBA was 20x better.

GBA is terrible, but gets a pass because all handhelds before the PSP were terrible.

Literally can not go one post without sucking Sony cock.

If you unironically believe Xbox is better than anything, you need to play a game for the first time in your life, third world shitter.

So uh, does Anon Babble consider the Dreamcast as part of the 6th gen? I always see people calling it as a PS1 Pro, and fags will get mad if you try to compare it to PS2 for some reason.

I've identified and improved enough to clear everything as a kid and guess what: I still fucking hated it. Crawling in the midst of barb wire for 35 hours didn't inspire me to plaster all my clothing with it.
I got more enjoyment out of 200%ing Crash Bash around the same time, and even back then I dreaded going back to stages for their Relic challenges.

PS2. Gamecube was for pants shitting autists.
