And im saying this as a 22 year old zoomer with a library of 90 games.
I grew up with it and loved it while everyone else was playing on the PS3

It was great but it wasn’t the golden age like every other zoomer who barely got to experience likes to tout.
The narrative quality back then does not compare to modern standards

The PS2 peaked before you were born. You missed its golden age.

You weren't even born when the PS2 released, and your only memory is playing it as a last-gen console while others had a PS3.
The PlayStation 3 would've launched while you were 3 years old.
Why do you think you have any insight into how good that era was?

Literally the peak of console gaming before companies used the internet to ruin it.

Nope, it was pretty good. But I think many people are posing, shit runs fine on modern phones and you'd see more people actually running an emu on them if they'd really think it was that great because the PS2s library still kills the one for conventional phonegames.

It was for me in many ways. Split screen was extremely common which basically doesn't exist anymore for shit like racing games, all sorts of genres that are now pretty terrible like sports games were good & it had ones we'll never get again like the street games. Matter of fact it had a shit ton of AA genres that either died for good or temporarily survived on handhelds.
>narrative quality
lmao

The majority of ps2 games are genuinely shit, feel shit to play and felt shit to play then too. They had graphics and cutscenes but it didnt matter; the gameplay is awful. If I have to play one more isometric gridbased game with a cursor controlled by joystick I would rather just die. The SNES has it beat by miles, the absolute peak of 2D gameplay systems with optimized controls and good games.

One minute of naming PS2 masterpieces:

Okami, God Hand, DBZ BT3, Urban Reign, SSX 1 Tricky 3, FF10/FF12, Ratchet and Clank series, DMC, Chaos Legion, Vexx, Yugioh DotR/Capsule Coliseum/Tag Force, Need For Speeds, Midnight Club, Silent Hill&Resi, God of Onions. Gun. Read Dead Revolver. GTA3/VC/SA. Metal Gear Solid 2/3. We Love Katamari.

Are you some sort of brainless inexperienced pleb who has never touched the console? The PS2 library is the highlight of gaming. Get out of here you piss ant.

7th gen is the golden generation
niggas can barely name 10 outstanding games on the ps2 despite its library having thousands of titles (most of them are B tier trash)
