The more I mature as a gamer the more I come to terms with the fact that the xbox was better than the ps2. It was the console for grown ups, it's games lack that spice the ps2 exclusives had but they more than make up for it in quality and gameplay
>dmc1-3
Cool, we have ninja gaiden, a less flamboyant game for sure but an overall better one. Every part of ryu's toolset is unique and serves a purpose, compared to dante's moveset bloat with a bunch of attacks that all do the same thing. Don't even let me get into enemy aggression
>mgs2-3
Great games, except you realize they're literally fucking pacman clones after playing splinter cell. Splinter cell is watching enemies through under a door, reacting to your surroundings, realistically sneaking around lights and using timing to outsmart cunning AI. mgs2 has... what? a fat guy on roller skates? It's most in depth stealth gameplay involves knocking on the wall and watching a guy's vision cone react on a tiny screen in a corner
>killzone
Halo fucking clears, no explanation needed. In fact I don't even know if this is the name of the "ps2 halo alternative". Is it supposed to be killzone or resistance or something? NO ONE EVEN KNOWS! I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THESE ARE FROM THE PISS2 OR PISS3!
>muh jrpgs!
Not a real genre. The xbox doesn't waste your time with fake games and only offers you kino wrpgs that the ps2 can't even run
>every 3rd party
Done better. Pretty much every fucking game that runs on either console runs better on xbox. Tony Hawk? Need for Speed? Star Wars Battlefront? ON THE PS2? give me a freakin break and choose the xbox. choose better graphics, better design choices, straight up the unaltered version instead of the ps2 handicapped version
So what's left, Jak 1 and 2? They're good, but is that enough to carry an entire console? Hmmm...
Nah. I'm thinking the xbox was better.
does it matter if you're just playing them all on PC now anyway
>>713865808Everything in this life matters
>>713865696 (OP)Weak effort but I appreciate The Duke representation. GOAT controller.
>>713865696 (OP)So you're getting stupider with age.
There are over 4000 games on the ps2, you've spoken about 4 of them that you read about on IGN or a 15 second google search, and you're basing your comparison on those alone.
Unreal.
>>713866359and notice how even though there's that many games you haven't brought a single one up specifically. interesting
>>713865696 (OP)Excuse me, but I'm a stickler Meeseeks. You didn't mention Panzer Dragoon Orta
>>713865696 (OP)There's no bad blood between Xchads and PS2bros. It's artificial to posture as if there was.
Fuck nigga, I want to go back. Life was so much better back then.
Any of you have a xbone or series? How's the backcompat?
Xbox always had the best versions of multiplats. If you were going to play Legacy Kaine Defiance or SSX Tricky or Prince of Persia it was the fucking Xbox version.
Xbox doesn't have Silent Hill 3 tho, only 2 and 4.
PS2 wins.
>>713870260growing up i knew sony fanboys that wouldn't stop going on about how halo was shit and killzone was going to dethrone it, no wait it's resistance, okay not that but it's sequel, wait that still sucks okay it'll be haze.
in the end they missed out on goat halo 2/3 online, but that's gone. anyway console wars are gay besides making fun of mentally challenged tendies.
>>713872015On PS2 I had Jak X, Resident Evil Outbreak, Champions of Norrath, Timesplitters: Future Perfect, and Metal Gear Online. Without the need to pay for your own internet.
>>713865696 (OP)>Nintendo>Sega>N64>PlayStation 1 & 2>Xbox >GameCubeI grew up playing everything with friends and family and not a single one of us ever brought up console war stuff. We talked about videogames and how awesome they were. We'd borrow each other's consoles if my friend wanted to play DBZ Budokai and I wanted to play Majora's Mask. I was 16 when I learned console war shit was an actual thing, and I still don't understand it.
>>713872225that's fine, i had all those too, but i also had halo 2 which was more fun online in the year 2004. seriously other than cs, quake 2, and bf 2, nothing came close to how fun halo 2 online was back then.
>>713872225Xbox had Timesplitters 2 & Future Perfect
I should know I played them on Xbox back in the day.
However I will give you the others.
>>713865696 (OP)Is there decent xbox emulation yet?
>>713865696 (OP)Both had pretty extensive great libraries, I really wish we could go back or have fucking phenomenal exclusive lineups as both the Xbox and PS2 had these days
>>713874340Game was fun until it go too hard after the first characters missions.
I vaguely remember playing a co-op game with a friend on xbox. Some sort of sci-fi soldier team (one them was blue gorilla thing possibly?) going around shooting dudes. I remember a level set in the tree-tops or something along those lines.
Can't remember the game name though.
>>713874340I will never not be mad about KUF 2
>>713865696 (OP)Shit console, only good game was Morrowind and you were better off playing that on PC. Controller was a joke and weighed 10 pounds. I bought mine used in gamestop for $20 back when it was still in gen because everyone knew it was shit.
You will cope and you will seethe but deep down you know it is true.
>>713871547It’s apparently good, but almost useless to me because all the soundtrack games are incompatible. That’s gta, tony hawk, racing games, etc. I think san andreas brings up a mobile port. Other stuff is probably good, because people rave about it
>>713871547I've got an xbone and it works okay, although there's a lot of games that aren't supported.
>>713872225Future Perfect was also on the Xbox.
>>713875652You're probably thinking of Brute Force, anon.
I had both, this thread is stupid

slop
>>713878223I'm actually pissed neither this game nor the sequel Assault on Dark Athena became backwards compatible. Somebody call Vin Diesel up and tell him to take a break from making the 53rd Fast and Furious film and sign some papers so I can play this shit again.
>>713877276That looks about what I remember.
>>713867460>shinobi but gayIf I was a shinobi fan I would've been offended
I have my xbox sitting in a desk drawer right next to me but I haven't hoked it up or turned it on since lockdown.
How fuck am I bros.
>the more mature i become the more i get stuck in console wars
absolute clown
the whole point of being an adult is that now i can own all old consoles AND a pc without having to compromise
>>713867460Shinobido was awesome, shame we never got the fan-levels disc officially overseas.
Tenchu 3 was already on Xbox and at 480p 60fps with online coop and extra online missions, so honestly cool upgrade.
I would love to get T3 re-release based on xbox version, maybe even with a level editor.
>>713879329If you have 1.6 revision mobo then it's fine. If you have an older one that was never recapped then they may leak eventually.
>>713865696 (OP)I had both. xbawx was for playing with the boys, ps2 was for playing when nobody could hang out. Missing out on the cool jap games makes you a dudebro, which is a complete casual.
>>713880843but dudebros are rarer than jap weaboos nowadays. So who cares?
>>713865696 (OP)You sounds lik a tremendous fruit
>>713865808Xbox emulation is still really poor tho.
>>713865696 (OP)Mgs2 is on xbox.
As a vintage console, I do think the og xbox is the first one that really holds up today because of its power. Most is running at 480p and in wide screen. Just get a hdmi cable for the thing and you're good to go. It looks great on a 48" oled.
I own 120 games for the thing, but its carried a lot by my nostalgia. Ah to be twelve again
>>713881070 Unironically this. The average dudebro from 2003 who just wanted to LAN Halo, blast Limp Bizkit, and play Burnout is practically a lost species now. These days it’s all basedjack anime collectors fighting over which pixel-remaster is “definitive.” Give me big green Xbox and Mountain Dew-stained controllers any day.
