"Do PS2 owners drool out of pity for Sony?"

OK OK, so this may well seem a bias topic, but I can assure that after Sega had announced their giving upness of console making I am now 100% without bias (Come on Microsoft!!), but I just think it's a sad time for Playstation 2 owners - they have hardly anything to get excited about at the moment, and although there will be Metal Gear Solid 2 and Gran Turismo 3 - there really needs to be something that is proud of a title woithout a number - so GT3 looks amazing, and MGS2 plays amazingly - it's been done before.

Please don't get me wrong - I feel that PS2 owners deserve a lot better - after all they support Sony by buying Playstations, so they should expect something decent on the Playstation 2. It seems as though Sony has bettered Sega - they've managed to turn themselves into a messed up Games Company after many years of success, whereas Sega are set to make money again, but have given up on the Dreamcast.

It's a shame because I want Playstation and PS2 owners to join me online in a quest on Phantasy Star Online, I want to battle it out on Daytona USA against Nintendo owners who have never really had that much in the way of decent racing games (Mario Kart is a different genre...), and I want to play Quake 3 and Unreal tournament against PC owners, but if sega have given up then it doesn't leave me with any hope that the developers and publishers for the Dreamcast will continue to make games for the format. Shame.

Tekken tag Tournament should have been better - PS2 games shouldn't need to be classed as 'step 1 games' or 'wave 1' games, as they all should have been as good from the start - maybe they'll get better, but there are 2 brand new machines on the way and I feel that they'll bring at least 2 quality launch titles...

I've been playing Phantasy Star Online recently - I haven't even gone online yet, as the offline game is so incredibly addictive! I was blown away by Sonic team's graphical prowess; the player create system is just ingenious - limitless number of characters! Anyway, it's made a slight impact on the charts - check it out if you dare. 10/10 classic, so beware...

I'm now looking forward to the highly anticipated Csequel to one of the freshest games of last year, which even now brings a smile to my face. Yep, Crazy Taxi 2 is about to hit the streets and I can't wait! I'm not advertising for Sega here, or anyone else - I don't care if a console is being produced or not because it doesn't matter, the games are what count and if I'm happy with originality then that's great for me - I'm sure many of you are too. I don't care about DVD features, I have a DVD player, I don't care about 'surfing the net' I have access to my brother's PC (as mine was unespectedly attacked by some hacker of somesort), but it's fantastic to play games online with real people - it's all part of the adrenalin rush that you get, and not seeing who you're beating adds to the fun..

Alas, my rabblings come to an end as I endevour on a journey to watch Jurassic Park on DVD.

Please play me at PSO tonight around 11 - I am D1A1!

Ok thanks,
Dan2K1

Well said my wookiee and PS2-owning friend.

Get over it, dude! Have fun with your DC, and let us have fun with the PS2. Why keep making such a big deal out of it? It's a tired, well-worn subject.

HEY!

I WANT the PS2 to be good but it HASN'T been as good as it SHOULD be.

GET ALONG?

Read the original post again.

Chewie...

I'm not sure.

All I could see was a big mass of black... followed by something about Phantasy Star... and then your name...

I'm tired. It's been a metaphorically long day.

Or not.
Do you agree with my original message?

Nope, Lun Di's Mask.

:D

Perhaps if you put the Dreamcast a long, long way away, and then hold the Majoras mask cartridge up to your eye...

No. Sniper has lost it.

Yeah it's covering the DC for some reason.
