Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Yeah, my buddy had one and always wanted to play when my other friends and me went over there. But I really had no intrest in consoles so I just walked right past it. But on xmas that same guy bought me one and I was like, "Uh, yeah dude thanks...", you know just being nice. But when I took it home I became bored and started playing (he bought me RtCW and Madden 2004, which is the best sports game ever!). AND NOW I CAN'T put the the controller down (i don't have to go to school, and I have this week off work so...). I bought that simpsons hit and run yesterday, and it is a GTA with simpsons characters! It is fun and funny. I see many a day in my future playing my good ol PS2. oh and to add to me playing the PS2 even more, my ex bought me KOTOR (yeah I was as surprised as you)cause she saw me looking at it one day. So I bring it home and install it on my computer, which takes 45 minutes . And I go to play it and it tells me my processor is too slow (551 mghz pent III) and it needs 1000mghz and also that my openGL is dated and I need to update it. and I dont have the money to buy a new processor at the moment. SO I AM VERY SAD! . But it all could have been avoided if the damn specs were on the box..damn developers...
Pie™ Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Originally posted by legameboy I wish I had a console. Me too You are lucky to get a PS2 from a friend... How much do they cost over in the states now?
ExcelsioN Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Bah! You console gamers disgust me... I've got a PS2, and yes it does have good games on it. But PC is better. Full Stop. Oh and never eat pizza before you play on a PS2. It's horrible when the controllers go all greasy.
KBell Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Madden 2004 is the best console game on the market IMO. No sports game shows as much realism to the sport as this game does and only the console can replicate that feeling. Sports games on the PC are lackluster and don't have nearly as much control as an XBox or PS2 controller does (I leave out the Gamecube controller because it's just too damn small) So have fun with the PS2 and be sure to rent or buy True Crime:Streets of LA or GTA Vice City
ET Warrior Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 You know what I hate? People who are JUST console gamers or JUST PC gamers becase "pc's/consoles are the only way to play games." If you can't afford a PC or a console or whatever that's not your fault, and I don't hate you You're seriously limiting your gaming experience, just out of pride/stupidity/whatever. PC has serious benefits, consoles have serious benefits. Allow yourself to experience the best of both worlds my friends. Free your mind. Edit- almost forgot. Good for you Troopr. Way to venture into the console area. I have an Xbox meself, but I do think PS2's are pretty cool, though i'm also a fan of the gamecube. I just like video games i suppose you could say
KBell Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I, myself, find the PC to be the system of choise. But when it comes to sports games, I will choose the XBox or PS2 anyday. But let's not make this into a Console Vs. PC debate, we've all had enough of those
Sam Fisher Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I want to get a console, but my parents will not allow one in their house:(
Sam Fisher Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 So they are... WE HATES THEM!!!! j/k :/ Just til I'm 18.. then...
Lindsey Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 my mom was like that-NO GAMES PERIOD!! till we got an iMac, installed a PSX Emulater on it, she bought me a 50 dollar PSX game to play on the iMac, didnt work. Told here "gee, we cant return it, how bout I spend the dough to get a PSX" she said "ok" 4 years later, I got a PSX, PS2, twin gaming PCs with the same specs, a Dreamcast, and an iMac. GAMING HAS BECOME A HOBBY FOR ME, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! ahem, cool, you will like PS2, I recommend Tony Hawk Underground, sweet internet play on that.

RoxStar Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Why not Sam? Do they think that its the devil's work? But seriously, why not?
Darth Rythe Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 PS2's are good considering you don't have to install, but the downside is if you scratch a cd(dvd) it is prity much stuffed.
ExcelsioN Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 One thing about PS2's (and all consoles really) is that the games are much more expensive. I sometimes pay £45 for a PS2 game and then see the same game for £30 on PC.
CapNColostomy Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I have a pc (obviously), a PS2, and a GC. I likes the $#!+ outta all of them, but I do most of my gaming on my pc. Can't be beat, pc gaming. PS, someone seriously should tell Lindsey about the "edit delete post" thing.

Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Gamecube, Play Station, Play Station 2, 2 suped up gaming comps (one now, i'm getting the other, mid-january) Game Boy Color, 2 Game Boy Advanced, and Game boy advanced SP, used to have a Game Gear but sold it (for obvious reasons) lookin' for X-Box? Well, y'know all those games they all rant and rave about? Well you can always play those on another system, sooo no X-Box, and Sega sucks hence how Nintendo bought them out, so no Sega. So, ya, were big on gaming around here. Oh, and I wholeheartedly agree that Madden is the best sports series, can't wait 'til august 2004

KBell Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 IG, Crow, Bongo, instead of mindless bantar about how your system is better than that one, why don't you actually spend time on the post and explain why this system is better than that one Although, we shouldn't be having yet another console war here
