Was it a good console /v/?
Yes. Bad controller, though.
If you love Arcade games? Oh god yes.
Otherwise? It's hard to really say. Multiplats were all definitely better on it though.

Even the disc format was doomed.
>implying this wasn't market testing for xbox
>tfw you had a Dreamcast and all your friends had PS2's
>>339210147
It was GOAT for racing games because of the analog triggers for gas/brake. But yeag, awful for pretty much anything else, especially fighters.
>>339210449
You forgot this nigga
ahead of its time.
Built in modem! not even the Ps2 had that. (granted it was dial up only without an adapter) Even had PSO, an "MMORPG" on console.
The controller was shit unfortunatly. Stll, most 3D games controlled much better than 5th gen.
VMUs were pretty awesome.
Best arcade ports of any console in history.
Good PC ports.
>>339210038
Good console, godawful controller.
>>339210038
yea, the peak of capcom and sega games

My PS2 had a built-in modem. Broadband.
>>339210449
>no Wild Metal
shame
>>339211691
It has fucking Blue Stinger (yet no Code Veronica), it was obviously made by a retard.
>>339211531
Should have clarified; At launch.
The 1st gen Ps2 did NOT have build in networking. Dreamcast did.

>tfw dreamcast & pc fag until 2007
literally my mom's console
PS2. Shiiitt load of games. Crushed all consoles like ants. I remember when I got my first PS2. That blue light was eye candy. Only console other than my PC that made me feel like I had power at my fingertips.

I guess the PS2 will forever cuck the Dreamcast, even when completely unrelated

>>339210038
On par with the snes.
So sad that this game didnt officially get released. Its so much fun.
>>339212075
Intent of comment was dropping shit on Dreamcast. It failed, because it sucked, over priced, no game.Comment relevant.
>>339212332
My PS2 lasted 5 years until stolen. They had an extremely low fail rate.
Mom even dropped it one day on hardwood floor.

>mfw sega secretly glorifying the japanese zero AM2
>>339211950
>power at my fingertips
>PS2
Yeah no. The games look like shit, even if compared to the dreamcast due to the interlacing. Some games even run at 240p.
>>339213024
>AM2
It's A6M fatass.
I'm glad that "DC has no more exclusive" fags hasn't shown up yet, because they're idiots. DC is a quality console like a Neo Geo, the games it ported to other consoles played better on DC than others. Segagaga translation when?
>>339213908
>Segagaga translation when?
you know the answer
>>339212832
Don't fucking lie. Sony got sued and LOST over the failure rates of the original PS2. They were caught using really low quality parts/used parts that failed often.
>>339214693
Demand for the console started wars in the African congo over rare minerals for microprocessors. Wars that go on today.
>PS2 = pure evil
>>339213024
The zero was a marvel of engineering when it went into production. Nothing to be ashamed of.
>>339214693
No lie, dude. 5 hard years. Hundreds of hours on GTA SA, easily the toughest game to run. Never had a problem with it. Apparently batches had a major factor in that as well. I got a good one.
>>339215164
I don't doubt yours lasted, but they did not have an extremely low failure rate.
>>339215080
Cell phones would have made this happen regardless.

Blue Stinger is mediocre, mate.
