    My dad camped out at Best Buy and got me a PS2 on release day. I didn't know he did it until a month later when I got it for my birthday, along with a newspaper article with him in the picture as the second person in line. He picked up SSX with it and I remember that game just blowing my mind! Gives me the feels to this day.

    I'd say the fact that it was a cheap DVD player and backward compatible with PSOne games help sell a lot of PS2s at first. I know that's why I bought one. So many great games helped seal the deal.

    • @eimran1178
      @eimran1178 8 років тому +31

      it's not only your opinion, it's a fact, over 150 million selled copies, tons of new IP's, backwards compability, DVD player, immense library of 3000+ games. No console ever did (or ever will) outmatch the PS2.

    • @retrosoul8770
      @retrosoul8770 8 років тому +9

      I respectfully agree with that^^, I didn't used to agree with the PS2 being the "best" console ever but through more research and reflection, it definitely has to be overall.
      However I still believe that during its era, it was overrated some, amazing it was yes, but it wasn't 130 million units better than the GameCube or Xbox. All 3 of those systems were incredible but the sales make the latter systems seem like total crap by comparison which (wasn't) isn't true at all.
      In my high school years, I knew ppl that had at least one of each and it was great to hang out with different ppl and play all 3 but I never understood why the Ps2 sold soo much more than the others, didn't make sense, to this day I believe the Ps1's massive success driving incredible momentum and its early "cheap" DVD player had to be a large part as to why, obviously alongside with its stellar library, because while it's library was amazing, so were the libraries of its competition, which had many of the same games via multi-plats.
      It basically didn't matter which system you had, chances are you loved it, it was the golden age of 3d gaming imo.

    • @fireheartis1
      @fireheartis1 8 років тому +6

      Retro Soul Yep I have to agree that it sold so well because of the cheap DVD player. The Xbox was brand new and Microsoft didn't have a footing in the gaming business yet. Plus you had to buy a remote to play DVD's on the Xbox, and the PS2 played them with just the controller. The GameCube although a great console had no DVD player and only hardcore Nintendo fans seemed to be buying one. The PS2 may be the greatest PlayStation ever, but back then it only sold because of the DVD playback abilities.

    • @eimran1178
      @eimran1178 8 років тому +15

      +fireheartis1 not really, while the cheap dvd player was definitely a contributing factor. calling it the only reason is nonsense. the ps2 was so attractieve due to it's immense library. not to mention all the exclusives and new ip's. final fantasy x/x-2/XII, metal gear solid 3, ratchet and clank, jak and Dexter, sly Tycoon. ico, shadow of the collosus, god of war, god hand, okami, dragon quest 8, devil may cry, Getaway, gran Turismo 4, kingdom hearts, bully, soul calibur III, syphon filter and the list goes on. many of those games didnt exist and still don't on other systems

    The one thing I love about the ps2 is the sheer variety of its library. The original PlayStation and the PS2 also features some highly experimental games that we would likely never see today. Titles such as Parappa tha Rapper, Point Blank, Mr. Mosquito, Katamari Damacy and plenty, plenty more were unlike anything else seen before or since in gaming. Obviously big budget games

    Shadow of Destiny, Xenosaga, Grandia, .hack, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Inuyasha, Lupin the 3rd, Monster Rancher, Monster Hunter, Suikoden, Klonoa 2, Wild Arms, Buldar's Gate, Dark Cloud, Marvel vs Capcom, Rule of Rose... I could go on and on and on. I still have all those games and more. PS2 is still my most valued console to date.

      @disparityband 8 років тому

      +alexanderalexandrou I don't know what I'm talking about but isn't anti-aliasing a much bigger detriment to 2D games than 3d ones? There is pixel art that gets ruined by anti-aliasing 2D games but textured 3D games look better when blurred rather than pixelated, right? I mean, it's not a full-screen raster effect, is it?

    • @alexanderalexandrou
      @alexanderalexandrou 8 років тому +4

      +disparityband I guess you could call anti-aliasing the removal of the jaggedness of angled lines in 3D games that is caused by low resolution. The PS2 was infamous for not having any easy way of implementing this feature despite its overall power, which produced a shimmering blurriness on screen in many 3D games. I'm sensitive to visual issues like aliasing, fps drops, etc., so I had problems with the PS2. The Dreamcast and the original Xbox didn't have this issue.

    • @alexanderalexandrou
      @alexanderalexandrou 8 років тому +6

      *****
      GTA on the PS2 added motion blur to hide the aliasing issues, but for me it was nauseating after 10 minutes because you had 2 layers of visual issues, the shimmering effect of aliasing and the blurriness of motion blur on top of that trying to hide it. Love the PS2, but it had some quirks.

    SO glad you guys brought up Blood Will Tell, one of the true hidden gems of the PS2, and one of my favorite games on the console! Shadow Hearts too! I love that one as well, and the Judgement Ring battle system is probably my favorite in any JRPG.
    Some of my other favorite exclusives are Haunting Ground and Siren. Both horror games. Haunting Ground ran on the Clock Tower 3 engine and was just fantastic. Siren is hard as nails and can feel a little clunky, but was genuinely creepy and intense. As a horror fan, Silent Hill is one of my favorite series, so of course Silent Hill 2 and 3 are some of my favorites as well, but SH2 wasn't exclusive.

    I have been one of the biggest fans from the beginning guys. I know what you mean by not feeling appreciated for the hard work though. It sucks that we live in the age of people who can't do, but who want to have an opinion about how you can. There's a lot of us however that love your show. And appreciate everything that you do for us. Not just the gaming aspect, but the entertainment aspect as well. Is a kid born in 77, every single thing that you guys talk about relates to me. I have a child myself I was born in 99 who relates to everything you guys still talk about. So I feel like your show transcends a bit more than what others do. You're right most people now just wants some yahoo that yelling, and who's barely audible while doing so, about how games suck. I call it AVGN syndrome. There is only one Gamesack like there's only one James Rolfe. You guys have not filled in it, or a boy, you made this your own thing. You guys have a genuine love for all things gaming. I was pissed there wasn't more of you two on " the videogame years " lol. If you decide to fade away, you have definitely made an impact on the Gaming Community, and on a lot of people's lives in a positive way. Hopefully you don't but I understand.

    When you boot up Sega Rally Championship, hold triangle and X and you will get the option for progressive scan. Unfortunately, Sega Rally 2006 doesn't support it.

      @Monacomaverick 8 років тому +1

      Try it again! I did it for the first time this morning. You must hold the two buttons as soon as it boots up. I'm using the Swap Magic CD rom driver to boot up the disk on my slip PS2. After pressing square for special boot, I immediately held x and Triangle and the option box appeared.

    • @GameSack
      @GameSack  8 років тому +2

      I have it on HD Loader and hold them as I press the X to start the game. Tried many times throughout the years. No issues holding X and Triangle to get others to boot to 480p.

    • @Monacomaverick
      @Monacomaverick 8 років тому +1

      I have never used HD loader before. I'm guessing it is USB based? Swap Magic was a cheap and easy way for me to play imports. I actually bought Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box the other day.

  • @surrealbrain4227
    @surrealbrain4227 6 років тому +6

    The PS2 brought so many memories, especially in my teenage years. Even in 2008, there was some games to look forward to, which was very fortunate because in those days, I couldn't get a PS3, 360 or Wii unless I got lucky or asked for it for Christmas. And the PS2 still had great games to look for I missed out on even then. I still remember playing Guitar Hero with friends and family, and I'd be lying if I said I don't go back every now and then. Every once in a while, I still collect for the system, at least when it comes to games still stuck on the console.

I think you could have dropped a few game reviews and spent more time talking about the hardware, the console wars at that point in time, the online aspect of the PS2 (FF X1 servers were just shut down) and the like. Either way, pretty good review and nice to see you guys back on youtube making more videos.

      I've had to replace pretty much every disc based console I've owned at least once due to malfunction except my PS4...and that's probably because I've only owned it for 6 months haha. Dave and Joe were obviously joking around but I don't think PS2 was any worse in terms of reliability than the xbox 360.

      The final numbers for RROD are estimated to have cost Microsoft about $4-5bn for systems replaced under warranty, the rest is even less certain. People say that the fail rate for any none-slim 360's may be up to 40%.
