Does anyone NOT have a PS2?

Since this gen is slowly winding down (still a bunch of good games to come out, like FFXII, Okami, another SOCOM etc.) I figured I'd ask if anyone here doesnt/hasnt owned a PS2? It has provided, in my opinion, the greatest overall library of games on any system, ever. And I loved my SNES.

I don't. Thank goodness for the GTA ports, and friends. Although I missed out on Twisted Metal: Black. Still, GBA > PS2, at least that's my take on the situation. The PS2 is pretty awesome, controller, games, controller, games...but I fell for Gamecube and then Halo came out. Not that I regret owning a Gamecube or an Xbox, but between those two consoles, and my beloved Counter-Strike, I saw and still see no reason to purchase a PS2. I'm also not big into RPGs, and that is probably the final nail in the coffin.

I kind of want to get a PS2 for Katamari.

I never had one though. The other platform games like Ratchet and Clank seem really cool also.

I have it.
But the only reason I keep it around now is to watch DVD's in my room, and wait for FFXII.

Not I. Just the Xbox which was a Christmas gift, thing was that i was still on the bubble about which system to buy, and when i got the xbox i figured i didnt need another one.

PS2 has dozens of quality games in any genre...only genre another system beats it in is FPS (XBox)

I'd also have to say that the GameCube beats the ps2 in party type games where you just get a whole bunch of friends over and have a good time.

depends on what kind of games your friends like...if they like 'Party' games and kart racing, GameCube wins...if they like First Person Shooters, XBox wins...if they like sports games (which mine do), PS2 and XBox trump Gamecube

I used my N64 for party games way more than my Cube this gen.

Depends on the Sports game. Super Mario Strikers is by far one of the tightest soccer games that has come out. BaB can testify his hours to it. And, personally, Mario Golf is way more fun than any Hot Shots Golf I've played.

and yes, I am aware PS2 is more then RPG games but I'm still not interested in picking one up. Yes, I'd like to play Katamari but the initial console cost isnt enough for me to buy it.

Considering also I havent played a new console game in months literally. PC Gaming is filling my void of console until the new systems hit.

<-- Guilty. My bro has one though, I played a tiny bit on that.

Teuthida · 07-03-2006, 06:23 AM

I don't. Wish I did. All those quirky titles I missed on out. Oh well. Just wondering now which next gen system will have those sort of titles. PS3 seems to be more about cinematic games. Wii might be this gen's PS2 in terms of the games I want.

DarkMaster · 07-03-2006, 03:51 PM

I really do find it hard to believe that any gamer could not own a PS2 this gen. It has far and away the most diversified lineup of titles, and the largest quantity of AAA rated games. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Cube and the Box do their fair share of ass-kicking, but we're talking over 7000 titles available for one system when you consider the PS1 backwards compatability.
