This was the best/last good generation of vidya consoles, the last generation that had soul
smash the shitcube against a wall and I'll agree
Still better than the memecast
fuck the PS2 was just so good
Why does the PS2 just look so ethereal?
The best way to describe this picture is to imagine a football team that is shit but has 1 player who is world class and could play for any team.
You are 35 to 40 years old
you wish retard
because it reigned supreme
This is the most brutal mugging ever seen in a generation
The craziest thing about this is that in 2000 the world population was 6.1B. In 2025 the population is 8B.
PS2 was just a colossus.
had 3 ps2, all had a disk reader failure. It was xbox 360 of that generation and everyone is keeping quiet about this but scream about 360 rrod.
nice try saar but we all know you're fibbing
I wish Sega still made consoles. Too bad the memecast said otherwise.
xbox
even decades later, I can't imagine the mindset of "oh yeah, I really really want an xbox!"
the slim model never had any problems for me
Halo was the only thing that carried that ugly block
disk reader failure
on most of the cases that is an easy fix
first try adjusting the height of the sled the reader is in. this can be done by just turning a little white gear. the other trick is calibrating the laser which is just two screws. other than that you could have just changed the reader
feels like vast majority of "broken" ps2s people threw away would have been easily fixable with a screwdriver
Funny enough I was still using the N64 and GBC during that generation. I had little desire to play gamecube. I tried some games at demo stations and one friend had it with smash bros which we played a bit but it wasn't that interesting to me. I had a DC too which was nice. And went to my friends place to play on his Xbox and sometimes borrowed a PS2 from a relative. Also had a PC which was nice too. Good times.
PS2 came with a free DVD player.
The nintendo shitcyoob
Africans cant afford current gen consoles anon
Shit was just better in general
The games on this console stood the test of time.
Get the ps2 out of there and the SOVL is definitely there.
The ps2 was so sterile and corporate, it made Microsoft look humane.
keeps selling well year after year
i-i-iit's because the dvd!
Its failure rate was also akin to the xbox 360 and sony didn't replace them, people just had to go out and buy a new one.
There was some guy who had bought 7 and I remember thinking "learn your lesson, it's shit."
The ps2 was so sterile and corporate
Nah, PS2 was easily the most SOUL of the generation
God Hand is overrated dogshit.
this anon had no friends
snoythread
There will be nothing to discuss when low IQ fags console war all thread.
seriously, i don't get why so few people tried fixing them. the instructions for it were on online message boards already back then and it was pretty simple, just might have taken a few calibrations attempts of reading both ps1 and ps2 discs to see when it is working properly. usually the laser isn't broken, it has just lost some power and the sled can just be risen little higher to compensate. the reader component was designed with this in mind since it was made hand-adjustable
It had the best hardware, including a HDD.
t. filtered
Cucked.
the last good console war.
ps2 clearly won.
nintendo started declining but had a stable and cute system.
M$ got saved by halo and online matches. From here on out they would make a shitter consoles that would break and shift to online only games.
the generation that killed SEGA and relegated it to being another game publisher. 3D graphics improvement started becoming incremental and less impressive, with sega being the last release of this console generation.
If Sega adopted the same strategy as Sony in making develop for their console super easy, would they have won?
This shit is so overrated. The ps2's library wasn't so bad you had to pretend this trash was good. Naughty dog and insomniac were still putting some effort in.
You could have picked a way better game from the 5/10station 2 library
That gen had TimeSplitters 2, it wins by default
they unironically entered the market too soon. if they had released dreamcast closer to ps2 and xbox they might have done better
people got interested in the new console generations and started buying in 2001-2002 with ps2 releasing late 2000 and xbox late 2001 - early 2002.
dreamcast was 1999, 2 years too early
Xbox is the worst console from the generation.
Nah it's DC, what are the titles that are historically defining from that console? Like nothing.
I don't need to defend my position.
For the first year yea. After 2000, it was just nothing but gold year after year.
Are you the same faggot that keeps shilling the Xbox?
fpbp
people with friends had ps2 or xbox, nintentroon
Nah, we just still weren't intimidated or diminished.
stop being a faggotron.
the shitcube still failed albeit.
nigger that og xbox had multiple gems, get that dick out of your mouth.
best/last good generation
yes
last generation that had soul
that was the following generation, it was just so little it feels immeasurable
parroted statement
you’re so fucking wrong, absolute retard you are.
alright then, show me those Xbox exclusives that kept it going apart from halo cmon
mutliple gems
halo and halo 2
og xbox was its peak anon, it had:
smt 9
forza motorsport
natural ultimate digital experiment
thousand land
otogi myth of demons
jet set radio future
dead or alive ultimate
fable
I could go on but you wouldn’t form your own thoughts to begin with lol.
uses parroted statement again
go back to xitter, moron.
>natural ultimate digital experiment
>thousand land
>otogi myth of demons
these honestly sound made up lol
I liked the PS3 and 360 as well but the WII was 95%+ cancer.
bruh, xbox would've been lost without Halo
because you kept fucking around with its innards, do you not realize you were an autistic kid before?
be nice to the melee box. it had that 1 game.
i dunno i had fun in the 360 era
mass effect
fallout 3 oblivion skyrim nv
cod campaigns/nazi zombies
r6 vegas
gears of war
and so on so forth
that gen had alot of really solid and polished action games and rpgs.
ps4 gen is like
8/10 AAAs that are buggy
some jap games
and then pure woke from 2016 onward.
i really need to get a hacked ps2
why do you faggots keep bringing up halo? it’s like a pack of niggers here.
and no one of worth was born after 2000
2 billion useless npc cattle.
i hate ipad kids so much lmao
ninja gaiden
need for speed underground 2
exaskeleton
tenerezza
smt 9
forza motorsport
natural ultimate digital experiment
thousand land
otogi myth of demons
jet set radio future
dead or alive ultimate
fable
need for speed underground 2
exclusive
huh??
The wii was basically a 6th gen console so it still had some soul
Fable and Ninja Gaiden are okay
the rest in your list didn't even break the top 10 and underground 2 is not an exclusive
My point still stands, Halo 1 and 2 carried the Xbox it would've crashed and burned without them
They look like bros
Based. Cube is a fucking joke compared to its contemporaries.
the cube was comfy
The 360 was god tier and you're a contrarian hipster faggot if you disagree.
Chadbox is legendary.
360 was 7th gen
One of the most underrated games in history right there.
lmao fucking normie
thanks for making me remember it was just as shit back then
just better entertainment
take me back to like anything before 911
Yes, bro, that was an argument against his claim.
Morrowind??
Xbox was the only console that could run it (if only just)
The fifth generation was actually the last good gen. The PSX and Saturn were the last consoles with soul.
they were still selling brand new PS2s in south america as late as 2014
it really is a behemoth in the third world. they still have people updating FIFA every year to have the newest players and teams
Classic case of everyones console. White or black, American or Asian, there's like even some PS2's in the Arctic. On the PS2 there's not just something for everyone, there's a lot for everyone.
No. Xbox was good. Rest weren't and that has remained true for every generation after.
bruh no one outside of japan would know that saturn is good
this
There's enough English friendly import games on the Saturn that you don't need to speak Japanese to appreciate the Saturn. I unironically think the Saturn is better than the Dreamcast and, if you understand Japanese, the Saturn is even better than the Genesis.
good thread
I've had 4 switchs and they all had hardware failure. Not buying the switch 2.
No dude, Xbox 360 had soul.
Keyword: had. Around 2009, it became soulless, pic related.
Saturn is better than the Dreamcast by a pretty significant margin. If the Dreamcast had finished its generation instead of being killed after a couple of years it could have been a really good console, but as it is it's more like a fun novelty. Still there's lots of fun to be had on it it just feels incomplete.
Alright xbros what am I in for
I never met or heard of a single person here in Europe who had the og Xbox.
using that shitty tv
not using the OG controller
Nothing cause you failed.
I have met several Europeans online who have original Xboxes. you should socialize more.
Someone's jealous of my countertop 14-inch Toshiba.
my country didn't even get it, and we only got 360 in 2010 when kinect bundle became a thing. Playstation won simply on the merit of selling in more places
We unironically need to go back.
If I get my own place and there's a spare room, I'm absolutely making it a 2000's time capsule.
