Title: Playstation 2, bad games???
Post by: MikeXKiller on July 24, 2001, 07:13:08 PM
Wow, do I think that people are crazy.  People can always find something bad about the best system. (currently)  I know that Playstation 2 didn\'t have the best games to start with but so what...with GT3, Red Faction, and other games I laugh at everyone who thinks that Playstation 2 has bad games.  Remember what kinda games Playstation had to start with, and 64.  I only remember Mario Kart, Mario 64, and Piolit wings being any good.  I also know that dreamcast is more powerful then 64, in my last message I just got kinda mixed up.

Ya a lot of people think that the ps2 has had bad games so far.... well lets face it, they are right, there are many lame games on ps2.  But they didnt face the fact that ps2 also has many great games like GT3, red faction, SSX, timesplitters and many more. In addition PS2 also has a very bright future:)

well i think that every system when its new is not gonna have awesome games from the get go - just not the way it works - of course it didn\'t start off with a lot of great games and there were so many lame ones compared to the good ones - made it seem like the PS2 had nothing great to offer - but a real gamer knows better

LOL?  PS2 has good games?  A true gamer knows what is the blatant obvious.

Let\'s face it, most of the games are mediocre at best.  It is a crying shame when the best games at launch are just a bunch of rehash with better graphics.  The system, still till this day, cannot even compare to the games on the DC a year ago.  How pathetic is that?

Fur Fighters (well...I liked it!), Grand Tursimo3, Red Faction, SSX, Timesplitters and Escape From Monkey Island are all good games, and ZOE and Shadow of Memories were above average (but not wonderful) games.

For the record; that was not a 3DO game. That was Return Fire. Err. Wait, it did appear on the 3DO, didn\'t it?
;)

Silent Software Inc made it and Prolific Published it.

As for Tshirts comment (:rolleyes: ) Onimusha was a great game and the \'sleeper hit\' Shadows of Destiny was great.  There has been good titles out. They are just few and far bewteen. But, since last month big games have been coming out. Twisted Metal : Black, GT3, Klonoa 2 and soon RE:CV X, Silent Hill 2, MGS2 and the list goes on.

You complain about sequels and rehashes. What exactly is DOA3? Its a friggin\' sequel! HALO? Rehashed FPS! Hell, Unreal Champion...Rehashed FPS. OddWorld? Sequel. The list goes on. If you are goin\' to trash one system for sequels / rehashes, be fair and do all.

C\'mon LiC, you expect too much from the guy. You can\'t expect someone blinded with bias to think otherwise. ;)

First of all....

Who says I like the Xbox for games like Halo?  DOA 3? Unreal championship?....

LOL

Stop putting words in my mouth.

The games I am most looking forward to

Gun Metal
Blood Wake
Project Ego

Everything else is just the icing on the cake.  Aside from Odd world, I hate Halo and unreal.  They look like another bunch of rehash crap.  Um no thanx.

Omnimusha is an overhyped piece of crap!  I have the game.  It sucks!  Too limited with some repititive hack and slash action.  Not to mention it is too freakin\' short!

Me, biased?  LoL

Jaded does not equal biased.

Jumpman is biased....that\'s for sure.

Listen to yourself, you sound like a little kid.

"I\'m not biased, he is! I swear!"

Everyone is slighty biased. You just happen to be a lot more biased then most people.

When you constantly whine and moan about how the PS2 games suck and so on  - but keep braggin\' on how this or that Xbox game is goin\' to rule , you are least slightly biased.

Everyone is slightly biased.
Sheesh.

every console has their AAA games (except XBOX ;))...and every console has their **** games (especially XBOX ;))...people can have their opinons on what games are good for that console and whatnot...but if people still think PS2 has no good games, then i think they are a little biased.  Personally, i loved a few launch games, and love many games released afterwards

i dont know what my point is...so...bleh  :)

The problem with these statements is that 1st Generation titles can make or break a console.  The Saturn\'s 1st Gen titles paled when compared to the PS2\'s.  

However, when a system is launched, like the PS2, with mostly sequels and yearly updates. People began to get frustrated.  However the best games are yet to come for the PS2, and for any system...games only get better in the consoles lifespan.

Sure, it has a lot of ****ty games but  who really cares? They\'re just a wastse of DVD/CD\'s. But now there is a game that comes out every week with a score of 9+. It just doesn\'t make sense to just pay attention to the crappy games.
