6 Months after PS2 Day. Any disapointments?

Face it, MOST of the games suck. there are tons more Playstation 1 games that are far better.
I know its still "early" But you said its been 6 months, and you asked if we were disapointed so far

Umm, did you have a PSX since launch? (I did) .. Within the first 6 months there were very few great games.


As far as the topic goes I\'m not disappointed. My expectations of the PS2 were so low that I was actually a lil overwhelmed @ launch.


- dm
- so whose god will f\'cking save me now?

My only disappointment is that my system is not reading CDs...Crappy huh?

Disapointments? Hmm after hearing all the hype on tv and radio and video game stores. I will admit I expected more. Madden and onimusha keep me playing. I just got so board with TTT which I thought could have been better. And Doa2 hc Looks just like the dc version and there is nothing new that would keep me playing it. Nba live was a big let down. SSX was just so over hyped too me. I would not give it up for nothing. I know it is still early period in the system and you cannot expect it too have the favorite of great games and multi-player games that psx has. For now I will just wait and play Onimusha  and madden.

Well, everythig is been said... exept one !
The only thing that disapoints me (not really) is that you can hear the fan while playing some DVD Movie...
That´s all...

Games are g8... and I can´t wait for:

Soul Reaver 2
GT3
Red Faction (I wanna see it with mouse and keyboard support !)
FFX
MGS2
Black & White
Silent Hill 2
RE:CV
Monkey Island 4
Baldur´s Gate: DA


...and PS2hahaha: Guys like you are the biggest disapointment... not only for the PS2, but for ALL gamers !!!

On-Topic

Ps2 has actually proved to be far better than I expected ( as I didn\'t hype the console too much back then )

I enjoy the great selection of games I have - and like every one of them; only with the exception of TTT, as I\'ve played it TOO much and now the game is really boring and repetitive.

I will buy Quake III Revolution as soon as I get money.

Just ignore those fools who ruin the thread, and they\'ll leave the thread alone. Start discussing with them, shouting at them, flaming them - they get what they want, enjoy their \'fame\', and start flaming even more. The best way to get rid of a troll is report to a moderator, in deep silence, and ignore their posts. I just hope everyone could do this!

No way i am not dissapointed,i knew the PS2 would be great,and it has been for me,i love the games that are out at the moment,and these are only first gen games,i carnt wait to get my new TV and GT3.Then my PS2 wont get a rest!!!!!!!!!

I don\'t see the need to bash Gman2. He just stated his opinion as to why PS2 disappointed him. And to be honest, I can understand some of what he\'s saying. Don\'t just automatically jump on anything slighty anti-PS2. Of course there are trolls, but there are also people who just have a different opinion than yourself.

Well, I own 20 PS2 games now\'a\'days and I have mixed feelings. I really enjoyed games like Onimusha, but for the most part my PS2 collects dust. I in no way regret buying it though. Sure, it doesn\'t quite live up to my expecatations, but I doubt any new sysem is goin\' to. The DC did, but that is only because it represented the first true jump to 128 era. Anyways, I imagine once Resident Evil: Code Veronica Complete comes out with the Devil May Cry demo, my PS2 will be played a ton.

I am disappointed in my PS2 and I am starting to agree with ps2hahaha.  The only game I enjoy playing is DOA2 and I didn\'t plan on spending $400+ dollars for one game.

I hope Twisted Metal Black will renew my interest in my PS2.  Otherwise I\'m seriously looking at an X-box.

I dont own a PS2 yet but whenever I get the chance to play on someone elses PS2:) I really enjoy its offerings.

i have no regrets at all for buying this beautiful console, but i wish we already had on-line play.

no regrets.  It allowed me to give my DVD player to my parents, and I love the games!

only dissapointment is that metal gear is 2 damn far away !!!!!!!!!!

I agree totally with the opinions of GMAN2, LIVING-IN-CLIP and EMPEROR ROB...

I first bought the PS2 expecting it to live upto the hype in a way I did buy into the hype by purchasing the console as soon as I could. I should have waited but so far my PS2 does seem to work.

I seen the first set of games, SSX with its slowdown, Midnight Club with its below average graphics and Tekken which is just like Tekken 3 and my PS2 starts to collect some dust.

I was also worried that it was a weak console with the blurred textures and the amount of games suffering from slowdown. I began to feel regret in purchasing this console but then...

... I started to get some PSW DVDs to check out the games and they wern\'t great but they were ok...

... and now i\'ve got a few PSW DVDs showing off some cool games running at a nice frame rate with decent graphics. I also played first hand the GT3 and ZOE demo which both look class and both run completly smooth. It was at that point in which my faith was restored back into the PS2.

As for good games they are coming but in the UK it takes time... I hope to keep playing Gun Griffon Blaze and then get Sky Oddessey followed by Red Faction and Onimusha later.

So in short, the PS2 DID fail to delever but I do feel that its beginning to make up for the poor launch and things are definatly looking up.

I will play the waiting game like everyone else, but the question was what are your feelings after the first 6 months.
Well, no matter how hard I try, I just can¡¦t get by on Madden alone.
Onimusha was definitely a step in the right direction but even that game had a big problem (way too short)
The Bouncer just sucked, Z.O.E. is repetitive and every other EA title besides Madden has annoying slowdown problems. Mine PS2 is also collecting dust, and I am seriously trying! I am renting games like crazy and it¡¦s not just me who feels this way, I have friends over all the time that agree. Almost every rental goes back the next day (3 or 4 days early most times)
And I did have a Playstation 1 from the launch and it had some good games right from the start (Demolition Derby, B.A.T, and some others.)
I truly think the X-box is gonna kick this things ass. Just look at the spec¡¦s  in the last Nex Gen Mag.
I didn¡¦t know how bad ass that thing is going to be. Seriously if you don¡¦t know you should check it out.
The machine is going to be a monster game system, with a hard drive to boot. I just feel that Sony rushed us out this product. And if you don¡¦t agree with that just try to go buy one. The were not ready for launch as far as their availability, and I feel their systems were rushed before their hardware was up to being what it could.
I think these things will have a shelf life of MAYBE 2 more years before we see the X Box taking over things. Its easy to program for, it Will have tons of support. But who knows, maybe it will suffer from software issues too, we will just have to wait and see. But they can¡¦t do any worse than what Sony has done with their debacle.  Its funny because the last sony campagin fot the original Playstation was URNOTE „²red. Remember?
Well their new campaign should have been WEWERENOTE .„²red

P.S. anyone else notice how TERRIBLE the new EA Sports Baseball is!!!!!!!
        Man they need to just STOP!!!!!
