PS2 was one of the most disappointing consoles ever made but zoomers weren't alive to remember that. Dreamcast was kicking its ass from 2000-2001.
This is what everyone deeply invested in the hobby thought of the PS2 when it was released:
>one of the worst launches ever
>took the length of the Dreamcast's entire lifespan to get a good game
>hideous graphics with jaggies
>everything is brown and dull after the colorful Dreamcast
>DOA2 port had worse lighting than Dreamcast
>normalfag pandering out the ass after Dreamcast had only creative and cutting edge games for enthusiasts
This is where gaming died.
