I will say the Silent Hill PC ports are preferable if for no other reason than the save mechanism. (no save point limitations -save any time like PC adventure games- and virtually unlimited saves) Too bad SH1 never made the conversion.
save anywhere artificially reduces the difficulty so it is definitely not preferred....and PC ports don't count anyway.
j_factor until you actually say anything remotely of substance you just come off as a bitter sony hater.
I remember all throughout its lifespan, multiplatform games were always panned the most on PS2. I know Beyond Good & Evil has a lot of glitches (some gamebreaking) that weren't present in the other versions, for example. The PS2 port of Grandia II was godawful, and added a metric ton of load times.
I highly doubt that most of the industry had an anti-Sony bias during the PS2 days, so based on my experience and what I've read, you really only wanna shoot for the exclusive PS2 games. Otherwise, if you can get it for a different system, you should.
Nope, that and I think the Playstation controller fits in my hands a lot better than the Gamecube or Xbox.Quote:

MGS2 Substance had some issues on Xbox (a lot of people forget that this was even released for Xbox), and I heard the Wii port of Rygar didn't turn out well. With every multiplatform game, I always try to research the differences to make sure I get the best version.Quote:

I did say something of substance. I said, if there's a multiplatform game on PS2 and you have one of the other systems, you're better off getting the other version (in 95% of cases). The reason I brought it up was because some posts mentioned games like Beyond Good & Evil and Resident Evil 4 which are much better experienced elsewhere. If you're going to play a game, you might as well play it the best way possible. The only reason to play the PS2 versions of these games would be if you didn't own the alternative system(s). I can't believe anyone would argue otherwise.Quote:

Gamecube and Xbox (and Dreamcast) have controller adapters available to let you use a Playstation controller. ;)Quote:

I don't think that's much of a problem either, if it does become an issue on 64-bit OSs (32-bit should be fine) a patch is likely given the popularity of the game. And there's a great port of SH3 for PC too, though the CD based one is a bit of a pain to install. (I think it's 4 CDs, maybe more)Quote:

Or people who refuse to "upgrade" to newer OSs in general. I'd be using XP-32bit if I had the option for my laptop, but that was an extra I had to pay for (and transferring my old license was a pain). I know TmEE uses Win98SE as his main OS and I know a few others which do the same. (soem others ding so with Win2k as well, both being less resource heavy than XP, let alone 7/vista)
If they hadn't ported SH3 and 4 to PC, we probably would have never played them, as with SH1, unfortunately. (had Bleem! survived that might have changed things, but now, with PSX, SH-1 is one of those rather expensive PS1 games -outside of piracy, of course)
Same thing for Sega PC games, we'd have never experienced any Sega games at home prior to the GC ports otherwise.
I think it's an OK system, but I personally had more fun on my friend's Xbox and our own GC. That same friend had all 3 consoles that generation, but Xbox was by far the most used. (I can't speak for GC though, as that was at another house -his parents were separated)Quote:

Multiplayer is always a big issue for me, and 4-player party games were much more prominent on the Xbox and GC than the PS2.
I like the PSX and PS2 reasonably well, but they're my least favorite consoles of those 2 generations. (the more I look back, the more I think the N64 is one of my favorites there, not just nostalgia, but many of the best games which I never played until very recently)
I'd be more interested in the other way around :p. the Soy pads are one of my main dislikes of those platforms. (the xbox controller s isn't much better though) At least there are plenty of good third party options like logitech pads and such.Quote:

heres a list of (my opinion) the greatest playstation 2 games of all time, along with a picture of the game and a brief description of each game.
whatdya guys think?:pop:
it hits most of the high points, it's just missing a few of the more obscure games like Katamari Damacy or Mister Mosquito.Quote:

Katamari Damacy isn't obscure.
compared to Grand Theft Auto, God of War, and Gran Turismo...yes it is.Quote:

ask a random person the street that plays video games but isn't "hardcore" or a japanime fanboy/fangirl if they've played Katamari Damacy. The numbers wouldn't be high, if at all. It's a much more obscure game than you might think.Quote:
