<div class="IPBDescription">worth a ps2?</div> hey guys


well first ill bore you b4 i get to the point.

around X-mas time i brought a ps2 after seeing my g.f's younmger brother playing the two towers... i was enthraled by the legolas chracter! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

and i had money... so i brought it...

then in may... i made the tragic mistake of swapping it for an airsoft gun.... cos i really wanted it.. i had never owned an mp5 model before that!
i got rid of...
100% working ps2
2 controllers
1 mem card
6 games.

all in all around ?350-?400 worth of kit for an airsoft gun i got screwed major.. cos i wanted thi s gun so badly at the time...

now i have sold allmy guns off... and i saw him playign Enter the matrix and i have heard REALLY bad things about this game... but i thought it was FANTASTIC and so.. now i am thinking of offering the guy some money for it back... what do you think?

FYI: yes im one of those people who gets bored of things VERY quickly... but there are 4 vital new game si want..

Splinter Cell
Enter the Matrix
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
SOCOM.

thankfully this guy is thick as pig **** when it comes to negotiating (so shhh about the fact he got one over on me...)
so i reckon i could get it bvack for around the ?200 marker... is it worth getting it back on mainl those 4 games?

    ETM and Splinter cell are both on the PC now, and seeing as you have a PC that kind cut's it down to 2 games. heh. but PS2 is getting pretty cheap to buy now and as much as I hate sony there are a lot of good games for it. I myself will stick to my PC and gamecube. Why gamecube? I just can't resist the nintendo exclusive titles, and as of right now metroid prime was worth it even if it was the only decent game (which it wasn't cause there's Zelda)

    And this novemeber theres gunna be FF: Crystal Chronicles *drools*

    Sony singlehandedly tore up the FF franchise not to mention in recent days they are responsible for both Planteside AND SWG.....so come on.

  • MoquiaoMoquiao Join Date: 2003-05-09 Member: 16168Members
    never been a fan of GTA:vc and that trend....

    and my p.c is a 633 celeron. with a 1mb gfx card. i play ns at 20 fps average.

    i dont **think** my p.c would run those games...

    and i played hte demo of splinter cell the night before i sold her...

    and i was the SEKS! at that game.

    i think for the price i can pick it up (he said £150...)

    they cost £169 new with a game....

    this comes with all of the above it may well be worth it ... as my p.c is bad and i spend alot of time in my room...

    + Smugglers Run is the ONLY game my g.f can beat me at...

    I would have to say, in my opinion, that a PS2 isn't worth it for Enter The Matrix. I'm of the opinion that the game REALLY badly sucked and that people should die for making it.

    But on the other hand, the PS2 is a fantastic console, no, it's not the most high-tech, but there are a lot of quality games out there and a lot of fun to be had. Also ontop of all this, you can play your old PSX games too, so that only further expands the already huge array of games.

    Uh actually personally I feel sony SAVED the FF franchise. How many good RPGs were there for the N64? And don't say [inert zelda title here] because you and I both know its not an RPG. CDs pwn cartridge. And how was sony involved in production of any of the FF series? Last time I checked Square produced them... As for PS and SWG... ok you got me there.

    Yeah, as far as CRAPPY CRAPPY CONSOLES go, PS2 is probably your best bet <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Seriously, though, if you ARE into the console thing, go with a PS2. It's got the most good games that aren't also available on the PC. Oh, and you can't call the PS1 a PSX anymore, because they're calling the new thing a PSX. I think.
  • Dirty_Harry_PotterDirty_Harry_Potter Join Date: 2002-11-21 Member: 9500Members
    first why buy a PS2 for the two tower game, it's available for pc as well, and why go waste 400£ on a ps2 when you could have teh uber PC for that amount :/

    and second Enter the Matrix should be really bad, but that's just what i've heard from people and reviews...

    First off FF8+ were total crap and I'd rather that they'd never have been made.

    Secondly one of the reasons there weren't any good RPGs for the N64 (although paper mario was fun) was because companies like Squaresoft jumped to the cash boat that was PS2. I feel having FF7 on N64 and FF8+ on gamecube would have lended itself to a very good series that would still be respectble today and not known as pathetic eyecandy with filler for gameplay.

    No, he calls paper mario an rpg, which afaik it was (classified as, that is, the only true rpgs are pen & paper).

    Me and some friends were once toying with the idea of playing pen & paper via IRC. You would have logging to settle disputes about what so-and-so said at this or that point, PMs to the gamemaster when you want to do something sneaky, emotes for doing something openly, the works! Further, you wouldn't need to meet somewhere, so you could be much more spontaneous (a few phonecalls and you're set). But in the end we agreed that nothing beats the athmosphere of sitting in couches 'round a low table with coke and crackers everywhere, rolling those dice and talking smack ("Thou art beaten, scurvy knave!") when an orc goes down.

    PS2 is good to have.


    and posh on Esuna for saying Sony/Square fudged up the FF series. It's not a series, it's a title set.

    actually I said that. And its true. It <i>used</i> to be a series and PS2 turned it into just a name. So I think you illustrated my point ruther well. FF7 was good FF8 was bad FF9 was forgetable FF10 was a travesty and beyond that is pure horror.
  • OttoDestructOttoDestruct Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7790Members
    I'm not saying that the games were good, in fact I thought FF7-9 were the crappiest of the series, but as far as the game goes, had Square stuck with Nintendo, I'm guessing the Final Fantasies developed for playstation might look like Quest 64.

  • DOOManiacDOOManiac Worst. Critic. Ever. Join Date: 2002-04-17 Member: 462Members, NS1 Playtester
    First off, don't do anything for Enter The Matrix. Its a horrible horrible game. And I'm talking "I had more fun with Daikatana" horrible.

    Also, as far as splinter cell goes, from what I've seen the PS2 and Gamecube versions simply look like crap in comparrison to the x-box and pc versions. The PC Version also controls a hell of a lot better than the X-Box version (simply due to this type of game working better w/ a mouse than a gamepad), and its probably safe story on the PS2 and Gamecube. You might wanna try it on PC (download the demo) if your system can handle it.

    That said, there are plenty of reasons to get a PS2. If you haven't played em on PC, GTA3 and GTA:Vice City are great games. Also Metal Gear Solid 2 is terrific (except for the story line. actually you kinda learn to love the game heh), but then again I'm a rabid Metal Gear fan. Since a PS2 is backwards compatible you can play PS1 titles such a FF7 and Metal Gear Solid (which pwns, no doubt about it. Can't think of anything bad about it, at all, ever). You may also wanna give the Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy games a shot.

    There's also some games on the horizon that look to be absolute pwnage. Grand Theft Auto 4 is gonna be PS2 exclusive (like GTA3 and VC are), as is the new sexy Castlevania: Lament of Innocense (or something like that). Of course I'm all pumped up for Metal Gear Solid 3. But if you're gonna buy, I'd suggest doing it now while the price is down to $179, cause once the new "revised" ps2 comes out its back up to $199.

    Heh, I played ETM at my friend's and it was just 'meh'. I only played for ~15 minutes, though.

    In any case, if you have enough money, just buy the PS2 for the rest of the awesome games on it, plus all the $20 PS1 games you can play. FF7, FFTactics, MGS, all pure gaming gold. I alternated playing FF7 with my friend a few years ago and we were glued to the TV like every day trying to get to the next part of the game. Same thing with MGS. Ahh, PS1 was so many good memories hehe.

    I don't own a PS2, but I've played GTA3 and VC and needless to say they are awesome.

    My sentiments exactly Square sold out and Nintendo lost out because of it. We could have had FF games comming out made from squarsoft's talent and Nintendo's integrity. Anyway it pisses me off to no end that squaresoft ditched nintendo and it's no suprise ff7-whateveritisnow sucked.

    Instead of impulsivly buying things, save up for a really nice PC. It might take a while, but it's well worth it. Think of those few, crappy console games. Now think of all the awesome PC games you could play with a better comp - HL2, Doom III, DX2, even NS would run better. Also, consider this - most console games that are any good also come out on PC.

    And ETM is definatly not worth buying. At all.
