Favourite console - Snes. Without a shadow of a doubt. Though I must say the Saturn is a close second.

It's mpre of the fact that you are the typical PS2 Zealot. As stated in a previous topic, we don't Ze-a-lot of them here. Seeing a zealot after all this time is just a shock is the reason you dont see a lot of PS2 zealots here because you're all Nintendo (or maybe Xbox) WANGRAs? i bet i hit that one right on the nose. i too am a PS2 owner but unlike the one you're all picking on i have had an Xbox in the house (it didnt last beyond the initial 'new' period). not much choice for non FPS/driving games fans here. And a GC but after playing the Resident Evil games couldnt find much else for it (any decent old games are at rip-off, almost full, prices e.g MGS Twin Snakes.) It is now packed up or probably sold (both Xbox and GC were purchased by an eager sibling) and a PS2 reigns supreme in that room also. The PS2 on the other hand has a decent game release for it almost weekly and has many top quality classics released every year unlike the one or two you get on its rivals. here are some recent examples of decent ps2 releases: Resident Evil 4 (not an exclusive but containing extra content making it the definitive version. don't believe the lies you've heard about it being minor. the 'seperate ways' bonus mission is almost the whole game played with Ada and contains new areas unavailable to Leon. it took me over 6 hours to comlpete). Soul Calibur III (they didn't bother wasting their time on a Xbox or GC version probably cos part II failed miserably on them). God of War (a classic PS2 exclusive). Prince of Persia 3 (a personal favourite). The Warriors. Fahrenheit. i could go on and on but won't bother. and coming soon we have the following exclusives to name but a few: Shadow of the Colossus (by the people that bought us the awesome ICO). Dragon Quest VIII Kingdom Hearts II Final Fantasy XII (which will no doubt blow away, in official ratings, the likes of that Zelda Princess game you're all always hyping). i am not a Sony WANGRA but rather an objective and experience gamer who doesn't want to wait 6 months to a year for a decent game to be released (the reason both other consoles failed in my house). if you a truly a gamer and not a WANGRA be like me and try all the consoles. even if it never becomes your favourite you'll find that the ps2 isn't all that bad. so in conclusion in my eyes the PS2 is not the best console but the the best at its job: providing plenty of gaming for all types of gamers.

Of the current crop i'd say gamecube, PS2 seems to have a distinct lack of original titles which is a shame as otherwise i'd get one, and there's nothing on the xbox that hasn't been done better on the PC. Also the gamecube controller is very comfortable although the S controller for the xbox is pretty good, my thumbs slip off the sticks on the ps2 and don't get me started on the L3 and R3 buttons in my opinion i'd say the GC was the worst and the PS2 the best 'of the current crop' and i will give you reasons why in response to all your reasons. first of all i can name 5 PS2 games with near enough as good or better ratings for each one GC game you or anyone else can name. secondly you can't favour a console for its pads (thats like me buying a car cos i like the steering wheel) and if you still can't live without the GC controllers i'm sure i heard there are adaptors available to use different controllers on different consoles. as for the stuff about the L3/R3 buttons all i can say is you must have really short, stubby or crooked fingers cos i've been using them since the PS1 days and have found them adequate at the least.

Uh hello? I guess it's nice to see a new face on christmas day but i'm amazed you made such an effort to post such a big debate when most of us are just talking rubbish and shouting cock moo during this festive period. Anyways, welcome to GC, hope you have fun here and be sure not to take things TOO seriously. Oh and by the way, i have a PS2, GC, DC and DS.

Hey Saracen, welcome to the forum, and thanks for actually posting some quality for us The thing you need to realise though is that we only dislike people who follow a single console and disregard the others. Therefore we took the piss out of the PS2 WANGRA. I only own a PS2 but don't go round proclaiming its greatness because I know the other consoles have their merits too. Hope you stick around and continue posting here!

Anyways, welcome to GC, hope you have fun here and be sure not to take things TOO seriously. first of all thanks for all the welcomes and all the best to everyone celebrating this festive period. next regarding the 'such an effort' and 'TOO serious' observations, its no bother. I work nights and do this to pass the time at work.

is the reason you dont see a lot of PS2 zealots here because you're all Nintendo (or maybe Xbox) WANGRAs? i bet i hit that one right on the nose. Perhaps if you took the time to read the boards before making assumptions about the members you might've noticed that there isn't a great deal of zealotry or WANGRAism here. Are you one of those people who likes to think he's smart despite the fact that he doesn't take into consideration any of the particulars of the claims he makes? I bet I hit that one right on the nose. I have to admire your dedication to the Sony cause, buying a rival console just so you can play remakes of old PS1 games. But can you back that up with facts? There might be many games coming out for the PS2, but I can't imagine that a "decent" game release happens on an almost weekly basis, especially given your previous statement about the lack of any decent GC games beyond old Capcom cash-ins. Did you notice that four of your six examples of recent, "decent" PS2 releases were released cross-platform, one of which is a stripped down port? Phew. That's the first thing you've written that I've been pleased to read. "Official ratings"? Haha. Well yeah, you're not alone there. What, in your eyes, is the best console? first of all i can name 5 PS2 games with near enough as good or better ratings for each one GC game you or anyone else can name. Again with the "ratings". But where would you be pulling these ratings from? Let's choose a neutral ground to host this challenge, after all. And once we've done that, you can tell me five PS2 games with better "ratings" than each of Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker; Metroid Prime; and Viewtiful Joe. I've gone easy on you to start with, you only need to name 15 PS2 games with better ratings than those three. That should be easy enough, right? See if you can do it without resorting to Google or magazines, it'll be fun. Hooray, PS2 is adequate! (Unlike your prose and basis for argument.)

Are you one of those people who likes to think he's smart despite the fact that he doesn't take into consideration any of the particulars of the claims he makes? I bet I hit that one right on the nose.. if picking on some one who says the PS2 is better than the GC isnt a sign of being a zealot i'm sure you're right there. as for your second comment i don't need to think i'm smart i already know. my consideration for my statement was my above observation. thats all that was worth playing on it. and i didn't buy one i played on someone else's. i wouldn't waste my money! i was giving evidence of the PS2 being a good console not for it being better than any other console (i'm not a zealot after-all). yes i only use gamerankings.com for my ratings. That would be a sign of WANGRAism. i prefer the PS2 but do not think it is the best. see above. i'm sure you will agree it is a fair source (after-all the highest rated game of all according to them is a Nintendo game). First of all i never said 'better' i said 'near enough as good or better'. Okay here goes (all rating from gamerankings.com rounded off to nearest %): GC 1. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - 95% 2. Metroid Prime - 96% 3. Viewtiful Joe - 92% PS2 1. Resident Evil 4 - 96% (it doesn't matter if it's on GC cos Viewtiful Joe is on PS2 too). 2. Grand Theft Auto III - 95% 3. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - 95% 4. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 95% 5. Pro Evolution Soccer 3 - 94% 6. Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec - 94% 7. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - 94% 8. God of War - 94% 9. Burnout 3: Takedown - 94% 10. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - 93% 11. Guitar Hero - 93% 12. Dragon Quest VIII - 93% 13. Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution - 92% 14. Soul Calibur II - 92% 15. Shadow of the Colossus - 92% and thats excluding the likes of Final Fantasy X, Devil May Cry and Prince of Persia which i think are highly under-rated. i excluded them purposefully to highlight that in my opinion they alone are better than your 3 Nintendo games. i was refering to the joypad so you sure made yourself look foolish there. prose is irrelevant and exposing your kind is a strong enough basis for argument (after all you can't have exclusive rights on making you look foolish).

There is a difference between opinion and WANGRAism you know. You can prefer a console and state that without typing in all caps proclaiming: "pS2 I5 TEHH GR3ATUST GAMCUBE IS 4 KIDZZ!!!111"

Hmm, i posted just the originals here and not the edited version of which the latter was the one which went to B3ta. Damn, did you still wanna see the link to the original topic? I could always post the edited version right here but i'm not sure if i still have it on my PC. EDIT ------- Here's the link but i still will have to try and find the edited version since these were only the originals which he posted on PGF at that time. teletextgames.proboards3.com/index.cgi?board=ot&action=display&n=1&thread=388
