Hi xisumavoid rare to see you here i have never in the year ive bean subbed to dykg have i seen you comment on one of their videos

iownalx23 U mad bro?

I would say N64s, SNES's and Xbox 360's had a better run

***** Well the SNES and NES still get new games, granted they're are home brewed copies.

Patrick imnottellingyou Well then you would be wrong since they showed in the video that the Ps2 has had the best run in all regions xD and sold almost twice as many as the xbox 360.

The PS2 probably had the biggest game library as well. It's probably favourite coz of the tons of jrpg's that were released on it

***** Wii is 5th best platform and 3rd best console Source: www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/

Forreal yo, I heard that ps2 startup sound n got chills man.

I was young when I used the system menu and I always had nightmares later.

yeah me too. the startup sound always scared the shit out of me when i was a kid, hahah

+Cameron Johnson I would always run out of the room when it started up when I was like 3.

+Larry Jarrins IKR!! I ALMOST VOMMITED MY CHILDHOOD BECAUSE OF THE NOSTALGIA

The ps2 startup screen scared me as a kid and it still does.

+Larry Jarrins Yeah. Memories of 1 year old me playing Gran Turismo 3,or 4.

God damn it this makes me sad 😭😭my childhood feels

ikr that sounds is my childhood. that and also the windows XP startup sound

And then you had all the error tones, which scared the living shit out of everyone.

Gave me bad nostalgia

The PS one startup sound is scary AF.

WackyIdeas I use to hate that shit, when ever my little sister was in the room she use to cry because it was that scary...ahh i miss those scary sounds.....

Noah Parker Am I the only one who thought that all of the sounds were freaking rad as shit? I always wondered how they made those sounds, too.

IKR

good old times

Yup

Sucks that my mom sold the darn thing

+Teddy Riggs I remember having to turn the console upside down too :) Wow I just made myself feel old lol xD

Warren McClure dont forget if there was an update there would be add on discs or re releases like the dynasylty/samurai warriors with their xtreme legends expansion or shin megami tensei 3 which had 3 updated re releases withe the one on the west called nocturne being one of them

#Facts

You usually got extras as you played through the games too. Making of videos, concept art etc. That was back when the customer was right. Now the customer is an asshole because companies rarely do business face to face anymore so it's all dehumanised and cold.

Exactly why im getting a ps2 and going back to the good old days

You’re dead wrong, PS2 games sure as hell had DLC, updates, and internet multiplayer.

Me too, I also still play my Gameboy Advance and N64

same

+Charles Rod I still play on my brick slab.

Same. Still ordering games for it on amazon

There's an unsettling look received when others know you play on a PS1 or PS2...they must've forgotten we here greatness came from and still resides.

Fedekerker ... "Still"...? You expect nostalgia to decrease over time...?

me too takes me back to the good ol days before people were stuck in their phones

Z Z 👍

I will agree with you about the controllers, I bought like 2 cheap ones for DBZ budokai Tenkaichi, and the joystick rotating rapidly broke them, I needed to put a part from a real ps2 controller to work.

TheGenerationExtreme TGX Oh I love the gamecube, genuinely awesome console - it just didn't really take off - I only bought my gamecube for mario games, I think that limitation is what affected it.

Adrian Alvarado Haha, yes - I remember you could get the ones with rapid fire built in, utterly useless. I can't wait to run out of ammo when I'm playing COD. (note: I've stopped playing COD now, meh)

the new games where like 20 dollars back then now its 60 damn dollars

We do, Maya. We do.

+SamBeta20 "Oh shit, I made this logo that look cool, but I have to think of a deeper reason as to why I did it!"

+Rangaman What...!?

"The Third Place"

Lmao advertising and marketing is all bullshit that weak minded individuals get manipulated into. Look at Apple.

until you get a sytem corrupt that gave 9 year old me nightmares O.0

Atackzachmcplayah AKA mrtombraiderlover Who didn't get scared of that screen whenever they saw it?

Dragonminer i know right that shit scared me so much and just hearing it scares me :(

come on virtual boy was way better then piss stallion 2

rafaleek100 i could with my 3D graphics on VIRTUAL BOY way better then your plague senor 2

its a love/hate relationship

joshua powell You monster!

Alright some of your points are good. I don't like the look of the fat ps2's but I love the slim ones. Until the mid 2000's, no one really cared about their controllers, and for sony to make a decent enough one in 1995 is quite good. Correct! People bought it over sega, because it played dvds, which held more data. A massive selling point is that it can play dvd's. Back then it was either bad looking vhs tapes or spending hundreds of pounds on a dvd player. Say if a dad wanted a dvd player, and his kid wanted a ps2, bam! A two in one console, which can even play in HD! But yes, your point still is good being it killed sega. My favorite console of all time killed sega's consoles! Not all of it was ps2's fault though, the sega saturn was released early, and was a a total disaster. No internal hardrive, but you didn't need it back then. Back then, there were few, if any updates for games. Plus, it would be easy to take memory round your friends house via memorycard! Steet fighter ex3 was pretty good, and unreal tournament were amazing launch titles! I do agree the internet was bad, I think Xbox did a dam good job with that. Bad video quality? You can play it in HD! I have got it connected up with my gamcapture, and it looks great! Phew! I said a lot. nuff said

True dat. iv'e got about 30 ps2 games and i use one 8mb memory card! I'm just glad that you havn't been a dick about it, this was more of a debate than an arguement. I guess everyone liked the ps2 using dvd was because it was the first console to do so. ps2 1999 gamecube 2001 (no dvd) xbox 2001 And also i guess the sales speak for themselves: gamecube 22mil xbox 24+mil ps2 (best selling console of all time) 155mil Mine and your statements are both good, but the ps2 was so easy to take around. I even play it in the car now!

Yeah, it would work just as well! In brazil you can even get netflix for it!

Hillary Clinton Server 2016: 2 Daisy Chained PS2 running Windows XP at 768p on a vintage Trinitron.

HACK THE WORLD!

"In other news today, Hillary Clinton's e-mail server was hacked once again by someone with a modified PlayStation 2."

The day I will turn my PS2 into a robot and whenever I signal it to come over, it will plug itself in and set up games for me. I can imagine it with wheels. XD

I bought my fat ps2 this year and that fat one made me love the ps2.

Lucky you... I used to have the Fat one, until i tried to rinse it... Yep, i really was THAT Stupid.

I prefer using the term P.H.A.T. (Pretty Hot And Thick) to describe my PS2.

I have my skinny ps2 from my big bro. the two spongebob games with the same playstyle are my favorite ps2 games. they have the same attacks for the characters and all

I did not know that there is a fat one in my storage room behind my house i think its there before i was born

so sorry for your lost,man

I think if SEGA had met the demands for the Dreamcast (they've ran out of money and consoles after the first batch) and had a DVD drive installed, then we'd be playing Mario games on SEGA consoles right now.

The dream cast was way ahead of its time.

HappyZavulon Doubt it, Nintendo would've still been in business even if the Dreamcast was successful.

HappyZavulon And that would have been horrible.

Sega defeated the Dreamcast, not Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft.

+FlurfMeister02 That sounds bloody amazing, ngl.

+Gamesfan34260 Yeah, I love the PS2. It was my first game console ever.

FlurfMeister02 Same

I personally played an amazing little game called Dragon Quest 8 - Journey of the cursed king. I'd suggest grabbing it on emulator if you got a pc that can run it at a resolution higher than default and on opengl.

Yeah the console from 14 years ago...With no more games coming out...

Über eXe Yet it still has more games than the PS3 and PS4 combined.

Schean Sagawa 1 - PS3 had a terrible start 2 - PS4 JUST LAUNCHED!

Über eXe yeah, that old console that gave us GTA San Andreas, Vice City, MGS 3, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Ratchet & Clank, Persona 3 and 4 and list goes on..

Über eXe PS3 has been out for 8 years now, yet there is what about 40-80 games out now? And the PS4 has been out for a year with only about a number of games that I can count on both hands.

Indeed. 3-D gaming was perfected then.

***** And back then the games just worked...We didn't have to deal with patches and system updates or anything like that, no overpriced subscription services for multiplayer but just friends on a couch...

Piegamer710​ No season passes and DLC. Devs had to give there all in one go. 

***** No stupid arguments about resolution and framerates.

Piegamer710 No focus on games trying to appeal to as wide of an audience as possible. Back when we weren't overflooded with sequels and no over abundance of cross gen games.

+VideoGameLover58 basicly every era.

Well, I think that each era since PS1 are the best)

Everything since the 16 bits has been awesome. The 32/64s brought us 3D and excellent games, this era brought us online games and more believable 3D, PS3/Xbox 360 made online play popular (in consoles, PCs have been doing it for donkeys years), and the PS4/Xbone brought us '£400 CONSOLE KILLER PC MUST WATCH PLZ'

The last good gaming era...before the loot boxes, before the microtransactions. (Not to say there aren't any good games today)

Purely subjective, the best era for gaming over all was 1985-1989

rhetorical political comment is 12 years late

Spilledsyrup And sadly still relevant to current international trade policies...

I would say it's because the level of stupidity in politics can only go so high, but I've been wrong about that before.

how old are you?

TerryFGM 17

VideoGuy that explains... too young for ps1 & nes/snes era.

TerryFGM Well I'm 13 and I grew up with a SNES, GameCube, and N64...

Shawn Pal I play Ps1 games. PS Classics are awesome. Got all 3 Spyro games on my Ps Vita as well as Ridge Racer Type-4. I also have the disc of Ape Escape. I got to say, the Spyro games are the best platformer games I have ever played.

Xbox: ok, not bad, cheap, it's slowing killing itself

Metal_Lion1 ps4 is mine

I recently played KH2 but only got like 6 hours in because of the terrible loading times.

Nick879 idk what you're talking about. On the PS2, Kingdom Hearts 2 had great load times.

cavemancolton PS2 Kingdom Hearts, PS Spyro, and PS Crash Bandicoot games all have amazing loading times.

cavemancolton For me every time it loads it takes like 30 seconds. That isn't very great.

Nick879 That's because your PS2 is old. An older console will take longer to load.

Ikr

True. Same goes for Wii, that also could play GameCube games.

Definetley not.

+XenuLies Said no one ever except you, moron.

***** yes, unfortunately due to the lack of memory if forgot about it the next day.

***** He tried, but it said no

greatest music player - Maybe greatest dvd player - no. Maybe at the time but currently you could buy cheap HDMI Scaler DVD players that play DVDs in better quality

When the PS2 came out, dvd players were still a new technology. I remember dvd players costing $500USD and up. It's similar to the PS3 being the best blu ray player when it came out, with many blu ray players costing around $1,000.

While I agree that it was the last classic gaming generation, I don't think the Ps2 was the best system. The Gamecube had so many classics on it such as Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, The legend of Zelda Wind Waker, Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime, Mario Kart Double Dash, Pikmin, Kirby Air Ride, Animal Crossing, F-Zero, Resident Evil 4, And a lot more. All those games gave me lots of fun memories. But I guess it all comes down to personal preference.

Alec Martinez RE4 was also on ps2

Leeroy Jenkins The Gamecube was still one hell of a system

Sort of. Exclusives are probably the only thing that kept the gamecube profitable. Also the only reason Xbox sold. Halo was almost 1 to 1.

Yeah that's true if Nintendo didn't have exclusives they would've been f*cked. And I agree, If Microsoft never had Halo they probably wouldn't be making consoles right now

Btw, i kind of remember the background music, i think it's from Gran turismo A-spec, which makes it more awesome!

Tirsod2000 yea Gran turismo 3

I remember those days. I miss them a lot.

+civilwarfare101 You want that now? Buy a Wii U.

Accj21 Bayonetta 2 looks fun, but I don't think I'll bust out the cash for it. I think I'll just get a high end PC and use PCSX2 and Dolphin.

funniest part was that the ps2 was really not that powerful

Howtostudies "not that powerful" is relative to the times

BullShitThat Not really. Even for the time the PS2 wasn't that powerful. The GameCube and Xbox were far more powerful. Even the Dreamcast was more powerful than the PS2.

AliAliDillyDally Assuming what you said is actually true, even still, the GC and Xbox came out after the PS2 (so that shouldn't be a surprise), and the Dreamcast crashed and burned before it even took off. So really the PS2 had no real competition during its debut.

AliAliDillyDally Funny enough the lifespan of PS2 was longer then gamecube R.I.P Gamecube 2003-2006 and Ps2 1997-Present day

+Damien Leal *Gran Ahh the feels of the soundtrack... ;-;

Yup, the GT3 version was Slipstream, the GT4 one was on Machine Test and is Arcade Mode on GT6...

What was that song that started during dat GT3 showing?

No, the music from the start

Oh god, I have so many memories of sitting on my couch in my pjs and play GT3 and kingdom hearts

I used to do that, the naked bullet was the first movie I watched on the ps2

Same with 100% of the Xbox One were used for a cable box.

Well, yeah, that was one of the reasons why PS2 was so popular.

Just like PS3 and BluRay.

I did that. When I wasn't using it as a gaming system. Because they can do both.

AG4 _MrPhila understood that reference

Andres Tovar me too!

Hah, good point.

Eh it was the early 2000's. We didn't know better back in the day

God forbid they advertise their own channel due to them being the commentator. Every single video has this, why are you complaining now?

cosmo6871 he's not complaining that their advertising. he's talking about how they all put down their own videos in an attempt of reverse psychology.

cosmo6871 Oh gosh, I didn't mean that in the way you may think. I meant that they all advertise their channels as being terrible. I have no problem with them advertising their channel at all.

Unless it's MatPat. He's always like "To hear more about my amazing and flawless theories you should come to my channel. Oh, yeah, and DYKG is good too, I guess."

Christian Schulz After reading your comment a second time, I realize my mistake. I apologize.

Check now.

or you know, today...

Looks like those 20 years flew right by.

Andrew Hooven That makes no sense.

Andrew Hooven The PS2 is not even 20 years old...

i bet fox news was all like "i bet these republican idiots will believe us Kappa"

Even hilarious when Apple's iTunes Agreements says that you won't use iTunes to create WMD's

Rio c well to be fair have you ever seen how much havok a nicki minaj song can wreak?

How did he throw the play station to the ground repeatedly by accident?

By tripping over the controller's cable (hope i said that right, english is not my native language) it was kinda annoying but surprisingly it never affected the PS2 :D

wow.. I accidentally dropped or knocked my wii to the ground, still works fine..

wow I'm the opposite of you with experience

mine was a slim.. i guess lower weight, lower damage

aYYEE I got my ps2 the same year! I remember Avatar the Airbender Video game being my first game, but my most beloved game was KH.

Sofiroro I currently have KH. But I can't get past Wonderland. I suck. :(

Gumiworm the Gumiworm ye man it's a great game, look up a walkthrough, that one is confusing.

Nintendo 3DS

GAME BOY ADVANCE IS MY NAME :3

Snes

Yo mama! ( . . . So I guess the PS1?)

Nintendo 64

+Jack Whitehead You're not alone bro, I even use to think about that game while I was at work... lol

More better if Mr GameCube married Mrs Dreamcast

The GC? A beautiful angel from above. The Dreamcast? A clever guy, but hideous on all levels.

Okay your opinion

Yeah man, ps2 and gamecube were my first and best consoles

The openings are so nostalgic for me especially making the squeaky noise on the gamecube

I say most not all,so please read carefully before commenting

you know that the gamecube had shittier racing games

no i don't like mario kart and it's one of the only mario spin off series that sucks

+Neat Carbon GASP

oh what madness is this somebody has an negative opinion on mario kart

exact same reason why PS4 is the king of this generation, EPIC EXCLUSIVES :)

True all though the WIIU is also a great console.

mike younes didn't help the fact that it's weakest and least sold console of this generation

like what?

ZEROx PLAYZ Dragon Quest, Persona, Shadow Of The Colossus, Kingdom Hearts, I could go on for a while.

Dude, they're still making *atari* games. Crazy, huh?

Amelia Bee MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN!!!

They stopped making games for PS2 a bit ago. That was a sad day.

Brennen Chappell I KNOW, RIGHT?? I've actually played the atari port of Halo, it was...interesting.

Amelia Bee OMG you weren't kidding, their actually is a Halo Atari port.

Let's just hope Sony doesn't need us to smoke weed before viewing their PS4 ads.

TehXTR09 Way ahead of you man.

and here you are 10 years later still watching sony related stuff and commenting on them. It's called moving on.

I got two that both work gangbusters, you can have one XD

So, you hate Sony for something that happened 10 years ago. I guess I should hate MS for not fixing my faulty Xbox 360

***** Well, it's not a playstation, but I have seen the world's only fully functional red-ringed Xbox 360, it's kept in the Enforcer offices here in Redmond :p

***** MS can't fix your RRoD if you don't call them up and put in an RMA request

*PC

GOB Gaming Oh shit yeah. But the Xbox was actually a very good PC at its release.

Well, considering gamecube's are nigh indestructible, could use them to just beat people with, then go back to playing twilight princess no problem

It's somewhat easier to modify an original Xbox as a weapon than a PS2 since the Xbox is a modified Pentium III PC running a modified version of Windows NT. Of course, it'd be a better idea to use a PS4 or Xbox one instead since they use more modern PC hardware.

+BadAssBoss it's GameCube

+Razor Callahan Internet fight?

Ps2 is not the only console to do this.

Nicholas Cuevas Still you can't deny it has a ludicrously expansive library of games to choose from.

Erm, cartridges were even better in that respect. No load screens while data was being read etc.

and i still recall there being some time in between putting the game in and actually playing the game

While the NES and SNES might be my personal faves, I can't at all deny that PS2 is probably the best console of all time in an objective sense. So many games, so much third party support, so much life for so many years (almost a decade and a half; by far the most 'real' life of any console, not counting recent homebrews and such for older ones), so much capability for its time (working cd/dvd player, working harddrives, working online adapters, etc.), and like you said, no fuss.. just play the games you wanna play and with a perfect little controller that didn't try to be anything too complicated. What a damn fine console.

What the fuck is with your pic!

I like your profile pic ;]

MrChaosSeal I really like that you just noticed my profile picture and not my comment

ShadowBladeX care to explain?

Daniel Perez YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

"Strength" is just a gimmick used by console makers to outsell their competitors. It has been used in one way or another since the first console wars. It doesn't mean a damn thing.

billy yory I'm just saying, if the PS2 has weaker specifications than the ccompetition why would Iraq make a supercomputer out of it, instead of using actual computer parts?

pikistikman Maybe that's why they didn't.

They wouldn't use ANY console to do anything a computer is traditionally used for. It was just another news story to make games look worse.

I just don't understand how people ever believed it. Do they think computers are illegal in Iraq?

PS3 is part 2
