"Sigh"

After having wasted £300 + on a PS2 (and then £5 for a Red Faction demo that took 4 minuits to complete on the "hardest" level setting) I've decided to never buy another console again.

The PS2 has in no way justified it's price tag. Just what the hell have we got here? A crap DVD player that stops playing films half way through saying "Cannot read disc"? A console which plays below average standard Dreamcast level generic fighter/racing games? An over priced memory card with Magic Gate technology that has managed to loose my game data repeatedly? Yep that's what I spent £300 + on. "Emotion Engine" Yeah right...

The games are so dull and repetitve! Take Ridge Racer for example. All five (or however many) are exactly the same game. Fueled by media hype and screen shots, the games WILL sell though.

Well I'm fed up with being ripped off with clever marketing ploys.

Since PS2's launch many recent console games just seem to be, well, crap.

I'm sticking with my PC and Half Life ( which came out in '98 and thanks to mods still remains playable to this day. What console game can live upto that claim then?)

With a PC you may have to fiddle around with settings, but you get a much better experience. Higer resolutions, better sound, and frame rates that only console owners can dream off... and... wait for it... you get GAMEPLAY too! Games that are fun to play and nearly always live upto their expectations.

So I *won't* wait for GT3 or MGS2 just to pay £39.99 hoping that the games live upto the media hype. Playing them hopping that something exciting will happen to justtify the cost. Graphics arn't everything. If you want to see special effects rent out a film!

Do any other game players feel the same about this?

You may pick it up, but will you buy it though!

Aaaaahhhhhh!

>I agree with u about the PC's vs Consoles, but may i ask if
> your a resident evil fan like me y did u get a PS2 >instead of a GC?

Although I've got tons of games i mainly follow which console res evil goes to and the PS2 plays 1,2,3,DC,survivor and has CVX,res 4 and devil may cry coming soon and it plays all my big heap of old PS games and I just wanted to play the great PS2 titles.

When Resident evil zero comes out on gamecube I'm gona pick one up though.

Yeah, we know.

It isn't me who wrote this post though so don't criticise me, Resident Evil 0 and 4 are coming to GC 0 being a launch title!

You forgot Drop Ship, The Getaway and Jak and Daxter.

C'mon, Give the PS2 a chance. How long has it been out. But you obviousdly havn't played on the ace games now and to come, like... Star Wars: Stardhip fighter, MGS2, GT3, Tony Hawks 3, GTA 3D...

Your missing out on a lot. Just give it a few more months and you'll be happy!

StarFighter is a great blast-em-up.

But arguably, the best game on the PS2 is SSX, in terms of gameplay, originality, graphics and sheer lastability. I got it on launch day and I'm still going back for more, even when it's 100% complete.

Star fighters tricky missions and stunning visuals make it one of the most atmospheric games on the ps2.
