THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFEND THIS AND YOU KNOW IT

You needed a multi tap for the PS1 as well.

PS2 didn't have any good multiplayer games

There's no need to defend it, we're literally 2 generations down the line.

Champions of Norrath (despite horrible bugs) and its sequel (still
riddled with bugs) are still my favorite diablo clones of all time who used the multitap

Shit, Sega had this running on the goddamn Genesis, and you fuckers had to have two people share a controller just to get Mario Party 7 to work right? Lmao.

Because ps is for forever alone autists.

Who the fuck would buy a console to have fun with friends and family when you can have your own corner in autism Avenue?

Literal game store console booth tier shit. Nobody seriously plays those games outside of drunk people looking for white noise, or depressed children without company.

It's not like there were many games that supported 4 players in the first place.

I only know Crash Bash and some Wrestling game for the PS2

They didn't support 4 players because the devs knew the vast majority of PS2 owners did not have a multitap. They weren't going to waste development resources on a feature that they knew would go unused. Hence why most of the 4 player games were multiplats.

You can softmod your PS2 to play games off the HDD now
>>
Probably because the number of times people actually used 4 controller ports could be counted on one hand.

If you had 3 friends who would want to play all the time, then you spent the tiny fee. Everyone else saved a bit of money because Sony didn't have to re-design their boards.

>>344962198

Did you just not have any friends growing up or what? It wasn't hard to get 4 people together to play Smash, Goldeneye, and Mario Kart on a regular basis. Most people were up for it so long as at least one person had the resources.
>>
Who cares, when hanging out with friends you're supposed to drink beer and watch sports, not play fucking video games.
>>
>>344959932
Why are you mentioning this now? It was a little gay at the time though
>>
>>344962476
I had more friends growing up than I have now sadly but unless you live next to your friends it's really not common for people to just be playing shit together all the time.
>>
>>344962465
you could just copy your virtual memory card onto your real one if you wanted to look at the icons so badly
or just not use a virtual memory card at all
>>
>>344962681

I did have the luxury of friends in the same neighborhood, though, even those that didn't live near me got together some of the time to play 3 to 4 player vidya.

I remember in high school we sometimes arranged some days where we all played Smash.
