speaking of which it was incredible that the ps2 played dvds and costed around as much as dvd players at the time and had indisputably the best game library (and amazing launch titles) of the gen. it was really the king

When I was 17 I had a summer job shredding old documents at my dad's office and I used my first paycheck to buy a PS2, GTA3 and Gran Turismo 3. Then a couple years later the guy I was directly working for got busted for embezzling a ton of money so I probably helped conceal evidence lol.

I played Dark Cloud and Dynasty Warriors 2 for a million hours during the first PS2 summer. That's some of my fondest gaming memories. Then a few years later DC2 came out and a month later was Windwaker. What a time to be alive. I would feel bad for Fortnite/Minecraft kids if they weren't so loving dumb.

I was like 10 when I got a PS2 so it was games like Jak and Rachet and Clank and I played that thing until I got into college and it was Persona and God Hand and MGS. Never got a PS3 or 360. Good fuckin gaming.

*Thinking back to spending eight hours a day feeding huge reams of paper into an industrial shredder in the windowless basement of a NYC office building while listening to a t.A.T.u. CD that another employee's kid brought in and almost never talking* Man, those were the days

The PS2 also had incredible backwards compatibility right out of the box. You could just plug in your PS1 controller and memory card and continue right where you were on the PS1. I still use my PS2 to play Final Fantasy 9 pretty regularly.

The CD reading laser on my PS2 died within 2 years so I could never play PlayStation games or CD PS2 games on it ever again. Still the most badass console ever though.

I played a bunch of RE4 and Final Fantasy X that I got for my 12th birthday right before summer holidays. I think I had like 120 hours on FFX but sucked at it. I thought Auron was so cool so I just upgraded him and I think Lulu. I only unlocked haste at like Yunalesca. It ruled.

It's so refreshing to turn a console on and it doesn't have to connect to the internet, load any friends list, and goes straight to the game. It's one of those things you didn't know you missed dearly

I got my PS2 like summer 2003 with Xenosaga 1 and Metal Gear Solid 2. I never finished Xenosaga but MGS2 probably remains the full length game that I've beaten the most times. I'd finish a playthrough and then immediately start a new one that day

I’ve always dreamed of modding my old fat PS2 with a hard drive and roms but I’m much too dumb and lazy to actually do it. Would be extremely tight though

It's one of those things you didn't know you missed dearly I may be offered a job in the middle of loving nowhere for work and I just thought after turning on my ps4 and needing to install an update before playing dqxi that I may have difficulty gaming cause they get internet through rope and tin cans there prob.

I think y'all are misremembering how weird the controls are in Megaman Legends, it didn't use the analog sticks & just had tank controls where you use L1 and R1 to turn . I can only imagine how it worked on an N64 controller edit: I didn't play the second game though, not sure if it changed
