It's amazing how mediocre the PS2's library actually is. It seems like it shouldn't be, like, surely a console as popular and as well regarded as something with tons of good games like this would have to actually have a decent amount, right?

But when you sit down and go through them, you realize how much of it consists of games that "look better than they are". 3D GTA was a huge selling point and something people saw as the most cool and advanced thing when it game out, a big world you can drive around freely and kill people in etc. But how many people honestly thought the core game play and missions were that good?

Look at Jak and Daxter. It's the latest platforming game by the Crash devs, and it has amazing tech that let you play around a seamless, exporable world where you can see everything in the distance. Surely it must be amazing, right? Well, the platforming sucks compared to the Crash games, and the exploration is kind of crummy compared to Banjo/Spyro, but it's the best you have, because every other platforming franchise and dev either turned their series into a 3rd person action shooter, or was handed off to some inferior no name dev to die.

DMC became "the future" of action games, but focused on gimmicky combo/style bullshit over dealing with/weaving through enemy attacks.

So the "cutscene games" like FFX, MGS and Dragon Quest 8 really are some of the best things it had, sadly enough.

The fact that the PS1 has such a vastly better array of good games seems astonishing, until you just sit down and see the piles and piles of actually cool shit on it that the PS2 just lacks. Like, seriously look into how many 4+ player games that the PS1 had, then compare that to how many things used the PS2 multitab (yeah, it 'existed') in a meaningful way at all. Look at the excellent, creative cinematic platformers, like Tomb Raider and Oddworld, and see that the closest equivalent here are the far more basic 3D Prince of Persia games.

That's the thing. You'd think that this would be a huge factor for the quality of the games, and that PS2 games would naturally offer much more polished takes on what the previous console did, but it somehow turned out the complete opposite way, with devs somehow collectively figuring out how to create amazing 3D titles within a couple of years of dev time, extracting the most out of a console with limited 3D support in spite of this, and then floundering and producing tedious, uninspired, messy crap when given a system with the power to do proper justice to 3D.

I have no idea how it happened, but it did.

Unfortunately, "cutscene games" are what happen when you pair ~~underpowered~~ hard to develop for hardware with high capacity storage. The Gamecube's small discs forced its games to focus on raw gameplay, while the Xbox was practically half a generation ahead of its contemporaries, and had plenty of power to spare.
Much of my interest in the PS2 as a platform would be wiped out if Ratchet and Katamari didn't exist. Those games are fucking kino, and actually have fun gameplay instead of being "cutscene games". PS2 also had Burnout Dominator, which didn't make it to the Xbox, but the Xbox still has 3 and that's the best one.

I went from PS1 to PC at the time and never felt like I missed much, the only games I wish I had were Tekken 4, Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4 (the PC port was terrible, you couldn't use the mouse to aim if I remember right)
>Onimusha
Already played Soul of the Samurai

Was already bored of Crash after 3, and CTR was a far better kart racer than the PS2 version
>Tenchu
Already played Tenchu 1, and after playing 2 a lot (despite being bad) was done with the series
>MGS2
The beggining is great, but was already bored of MGS pac-man style gameplay by now

>GTA:SA, Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Far Cry, Prince of Persia, Need for Speed Underground 2
Played these on PC, most of them are better with keyboard and mouse. Got a cheap controller at some point just to play Need for Speed properly but even PoP was doable with keyboard+mouse
Also PC had Age of Mythology

6 gen is surprisingly skippable for the most part. It's outright freakish how much better 5th gen was overall and how little games advanced through proper, full powered 3D with minimal compromise being available.

Like, Halo was actually pretty novel and combined a bunch of stuff that hadn't been pulled off well at the same time before (multiplayer,vehicles, huge maps,advanced AI that can defend themselves etc.), but Timsplitters 2 was barely as interesting as Goldeneye and Half Life 2 was weaker than the first in a lot of ways. There was surprisingly little going on with FPS then that didn't end up gimmicky.

The most standout thing 6th gen really had would honestly have to be Smash:Melee, nothing else is such an obvious 'desert island' tier game.

Even playing stuff like Timesplitters, and even old N64 fps games at the time, I was like "who the hell cares about Halo?"
I mean, it was fine. I had fun playing it with friends a few times. I never liked the fact you could only have two guns, which felt like a needless limitation. I never felt any particular draw to Master Chief or the Halo universe. It's just an ersatz version of about ten other sci-fi universes.
I remember looking over my shoulder at Aliens vs Predator 2 on PC and being like "shit, I want to play that game, not Halo".

I really feel like they just fundamentally didn't get it.
The RE mansion is so well designed and memorable, I can basically map out the whole thing in my head. I distinctly remember the moment that Hunters enter the map, and the difficulty ramps up. Silent Hill gives you none of that. It's just a boring slog of grey corridors.

It also has some great action games like Soul Calibur and Star Wars Battlefront, as well as a ton of Final Fantasy games and Kingdom Hearts.

The reason it's impossible to have a conversation about games with people like you is because you look at a list of great games for the PS2 and discard them all immediately based on some new metric you pull out of your ass.

Even the basic bitch games people will hype up for the SNES (like Super Metroid, Megaman X, or Donkey Kong Country) are at least really good games.
That's not even getting into "le hidden gems" which is an inexhaustible list, when you're talking about a console like the SNES.
And a lot of those games are really good too. They're not just Japanese artsy game about depression or something.

We'll agree to disagree, which shouldn't matter because the "best console EVAR!!!" should have plenty else to choose from.
>That's not even getting into "le hidden gems" which is an inexhaustible list, when you're talking about a console like the SNES.
Great, I look forward to hearing them. Just remember that I've played a lot of SNES games, which is how I know that there are staggeringly few worthwhile ones. So, you can't just shit out a list of terrible titles and hope nobody's actually played them.
>And a lot of those games are really good too. They're not just Japanese artsy game about depression or something.
Awesome! Really looking forward to what suggestions you have that might change my mind about the SNES.

Reading over this thread, it's genuinely depressing to see an entire generation of filtered plebs who think the PS2 was some kind of golden age. The PS2 didn't "win" because it was good, it just won solely due to the fact that your parents bought you a cheap DVD player that happened to play Tony Hawk. It was an appliance of a console. Its entire library is a testament to this fact, a complete dumping grounds of shovelware, licensed garbage, and inferior ports designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator who just wanted to see the polygons. It's criminal that this beat the Dreamcast, where REAL INNOVATION was ongoing like online out of the box, VMUs, a library with actual arcade soul—you were being conditioned to accept 20fps cinematic slop as "kino." You are the reason gaming is in the state it's in.

It's 100% this. I also find myself not revisiting the PS2 library much but that's mostly because a lot of the good games were PC ports, arcade ports, previous gen ports, or got more modern ports after. But back then having access to things like Tekken 5 and Tony Hawk 4 on the same platform was great.

Devil May Cry's issue isn't that it ruined "beat em ups", rather, it's that it took the 3D action game, which was much more diverse, if somewhat clunkier, beforehand, and cemented the idea that the genre really should basically a 3D beat em up, with a huge focus on combing and using bloated movesets etc. and everything subsequently took after its format.

Interestingly enough, the Kingdom Hearts series is much closer to what the 3D action genre ought to be, it also had combos and such, but the core gameplay is better thought out and it's really what you'd want the genre to play like.

The problem is that, while KH can absolutely be excellent, so much of the games are "that level". Like, it would be cool if the whole game was like Destiny Islands, Traverse Town, Hollow Bastion etc. but you do have to go through Atlantica and you can't just ignore stuff like this when it's such messy trash.

So many 'actually good' PS2 games are unfortunately like this, they do something excellent, but are otherwise filled with tedious nonsense that you suffer through for the sake of the things you like about them.

the only ps2 games I bothered saving after growing up with the system and combing through the entire catalog. doesnt help that virtually every good multiplat is better on xbox or gamecube. but also a lot of the ps2 classics just dont it for me (gta slop, movie game solid, ico/sotc, reddit hand, silent hill 2)

Id gladly take the NES, SNES, genesis, ps1, n64 or gamecube libraries over ps2 if I had to pick.

it also has the entire ps1 catalog with the exception of a few titles like die hard trilogy which only works on a ps1 lightgun which is a shame because it is one of the best light gun games ever made

The library's great, the problem is that most of the games run better (60fps, higher resolution than 480i) on other platforms. Even when just comparing 6th gen platforms and not PC games (admittedly some PC ports from the 6th gen were terrible), why would you want to play Red Dead Revolver, Sonic Heroes or Max Payne on PS2 when it runs at twice the frame rate on Xbox?
