"Is the Playstation forum dead?"

That's the question I keep asking myself. There are only about 30 posts a day and about half of them are from me. So come on guys, let's get this forum up and running again. At the moment there are just threads asking for help in games.

I'm not a purist but I don't want to start that shiznits again with piracy. I would want to do it properly and such as I enjoy collecting games and having all the stuff that comes with them. If I could find a decent and reliable import site I would get those games and an American PS2. I could still get the new GTA and Metal Gear when they come out but I would also have worthwile games in-between.

Well i get my games by other means if you know what i'm on about :-D Although i have bought a few games while i been over here in Canada that never got released over in England. I mean really European gamers do get screwed alot with game releases (the latest Resi Evil game a prime example)

RPG games were the reason i went for the PS2, no other console offers more turn based/strategy RPG's (can't stand the Live action RPG's although Dark Chronicle was good)

The TV refresh rate and all that side aren't a problem and neither is the money. Finding a decent, reliable and trust worthy import site on the other hand is. I would have to go for a US PS2 which I have thought about doing for a while. Purely for RPG games as from what I have read and what I have been told by my cousin and the like there are some excellent RPG games on the PS2 that never get released over here.

Which is why i tried to put some actual news about the PS2 and try to put some original topics up but they soon sink down by the hundreds of *I need help on* topics. For god sakes games nowadays are bloody easy you shouldn't need any help on anything. The only hard game i have played lately is Unlimited Saga

Yes, but the games are still there. I totally agree with you if you just went by PAL releases alone then the PS2 isn't that good but as i import my games from America and Japan i have more than enough to satisfy my gaming needs. And all those games are mentioned are either out or coming out in America so will have english text and voices.

If you also read what I put, I said there are a few decent posters worth discussing stuff with but for the most part it seems the forums are full of retarded posters.

Also without pirating a PS2 I wouldn't be able to get my hands on those games. I have actually been interested for a long time in importing a Japanese PS2, money isn't an issue its purely the fact that I don't want to play all my games with Japanese text and voice acting.

I think the proof is in the pudding here.

If the PS2 forum wasn't dead, my topics on Deus Ex and Rez wouldn't sink so quickly and we wouldn't have debates such as this one, or over who the best poster is.

My point? A forum is what you make it. If you think it's boring, do something about it.

Well from the last few posts it seems i am arguing with someone with nothing better to do then argue with people on the internet, which you yourself have admitted is your main reason for coming on this site. Quite sad actually. Plus once again with the reference to the rectum area, backs to the walls lads Ali's about

Well at least you do have some taste. Xenosaga is a fine game, much better than FFX. You may also want to look into La Pucelle Tactics, Disgaea and Star Ocean 3, which by the way, all exclusive to PS2

I know plenty about the import seen, a cousin of mine lives in Hong Kong which was the original reason why I got a freeloader and imported Cube games you couldn't get over here.

Instead of stretching your rectal cushions its avdisable to know who you are arguing with otherwise it stands as a great example for a crap argument.

I have looked at import PS2 titles which you may be able to read if you removed your jam jars. Xenosaga being the one I was most interested in on the PS2.

The PS2 forum has been dead and crap ever since the decent members of the forums that posted here left...

Its nothing to do with the fact that theres not much to talk about PS2 wise at the moment.
