Pick 2 games for all of 2000
>>750639001DW2 and Kessen.
>>750639001Timesplitters and ssx
>>750639001 >this is what killed the dreamcastps2 fags are mentally ill
>>750639001I’ve never played a single one of these and none appeal to me.
>>750639001Timesplitters and Midnight Club.Honorable mention to Matrix, SSX and AC2
>>750639168I'm trans btw
>>750639001Armored core 2 and Eternal Ring.Eternal Ring is actually a pretty solid little game.
>>750639001Tekken and SSX
>>750639168ps2 being a DVD player killed the dreamcast.All the new consoles then were too expensive, but PS2 was cheaper than a standalone DVD player on launch and was a DVD player, it was an easy sell to gaming hesitant parents.
>>750639168toy vs console
>>750639001These are just the launch titles, not the PS2's 2000 lineup. By the end of 2000 you'd have titles like Sky Odyssey, Gradius III & IV, Donald Duck Goin Quackers, and Aqua Aqua to consider.
>>750639168>>this is what killed the dreamcastno this is
>>750639346>console vs movie player
>>750639001Tekken Tag and UT
>>750639421No this is
>>750639458>UT>on consoledisgusting.
>>750639575Like most PC games it doesn't hold up when compared to superior console games.
>>750639531No this is
Can't. All of those games are shit.
>>750639001smuggler's run and time splitters, spent way too long just aimlessly driving around in smuggler's run especially in the one map with the snowy mountains area. the swamp map was also cool, wish I played it when I was a little older though since young me just did whatever the sandbox mode was 90% of the time.
>>750639001Armored Core 2 and Tekken Tag Tournament.>>750639271I've only ever really heard Eternal Ring described as "King's Field except bad" so I've never gotten around to trying it.
>>750639193This is probably what I would go with if I was restricted to only the games shown too. In reality, the PS2 was the first console I purchased with my own money from my first job. I mostly just replayed Metal Gear Solid 2. One year I was stuck living in my father's empty house with no telephone. I had power but shit what a year. I had Metal Gear Solid 2. Books. Whatever television show I could pick up through the antenna which realistically meant watching Oprah like I was getting news in a bottle washed up on shore. These days I don't know how anons complain about having no fucking games. Holy shit these pricks are spoiled twats.
>>750639001TimeSplitters and midnight ClubGungriffon Blaze if I got a third pick
>>750639001TTT and Armored Core 2. Just like in real life
>>750639001Ready2Rumble Round 2 and Midnight Club Street RacingReplayability through the roof
>>750639001TimeSplitters and the DVD of The Matrix. In 2000, we didn't know those things about those directors...
>>750639001When did we start pretending this was a bad launch lineup?theres atleast 10 great games there, id sure get my money out of it
>>750640572Not to mention the real value of these games was the high replayability, either alone or with friends, even if the game itself was mid at worst.It could been a boring Saturday afternoon during your teens and say "fuck it, let's go with Tekken or SSX for a bit"
>>750639001AC2, DW2
>>750640572>>750640656TRVKEI think it's safe to say a lot of anons are just shitposting or genuinely had no friends. We got so much mileage out of SSX and TimeSplitters it was retarded.
>>750639315They did the same thing with the PS3 being a bluray player. Fuck I still use my ps3 as my bluray player.
>>750640656people really have a problem looking back in hindsight because most of these games are great but they all had god tier sequelsSSX got followed up by TrickyMidnight Club got II and then 3Tekken Tag got outshined by Tekken 4Timesplitters 2 made people forget there was a 1
>>750639168Not to mention it had the entire PS1 library. If the Dreamcast could play Saturn games, it still wouldn't compare.
>>750641026people genuinely downplay the BC alot, i worked at a electronics store in 2002 and we had tons of people trading in old Playstations to buy PS2's, all the while Playstation games were still flying off the shelves
>>750640912>recency bias at play
>>750639663I played on both, it's a good game but only on PC.OTOH, Midnight Club 2 released on PC too and I played it on PS3.Right tools for the job.
>>750640912>Tekken Tag got outshined by Tekken 4I hate the Majora's Mask social media effect
I only had paper mario in 2000.Ps2 was impossible to get until the next batch hit the states; March 2001 or so
>>750639168The PS2 had the entire PS1 library and was bought as a DVD player by millions. It had a lot of gems hidden in an ocean of shovelware too. Just like Wii and Switch
what i got on the midnight release
>>750641842Wish I took care of my games as a kid, I would just cover the top of the console in loose discs lol. $200 copies of Silent Hill 2 GH and BT3 that probably won't even start ;_;And that blue box is extremely comfy and nostalgic.
>>750639001DW2 + MC + TEKKEN + UT>>750639531Microsoft Xbox killed the Dreamcast to save Sega from bankruptcy.Idk if Microsoft is the good or the bad guys here.
>>750641842>All the AC games>even nine breaker>gun griffon blaze>Front mission 4>ZOE>Xenosagapretty gud /m/ lineupmissing out on Zeonic Front Encounters in Space and Fed Vs Zeon EX Robotech Battlecry and RAD
>>750639120dynasty warriors 2 is awful, feels like a ps1 game
>>750640572yeah it's an awful launch lineup, gamecube had melee, luigi's mansion, Pikmin, wave racer, and pro skater 3xbox had halo, pro skater 2x, and doa3ps2 had the bouncer i guess
>>750642129
>>750640912One thing doesn't invalidates the other, anon. They were still great games in hindsight, focused on the player having FUN instead of cinematic experiences, convoluted complex epic stories and particular state of the art game mechanics>>750643297>actually defending XboxCome on now, you're trying to hard
>>750643528nice collection, lots of good games
>>750643297The Xbox and GameCube launched in 2001 wich means they were up against this >>750639421
>>750643528What's up with the bigger boxes for Mana Khemia, Ar Tonelico and a couple more? Did it come with a game manual included? Was that even a thing anymore?
>>750639001I had ssx and armored core 2I thought the ps2 sucked for a while
>>750643528>Has ZFI fucking kneel>FFXII CE>Black
pre-gamecube and xbox 6th gen games look like a fever dream, almost like a different era
>>750643754NTA but the beefy game manual era started to die out at the middle to end of 7th gen. 6th gen was all about giving you maps and borderline books for its games, especially the PS2
