Insane to me that some people just didn’t grow up with a PS2. That was basically my entire childhood

"i was born in le wrong console generation"

I've said it before. Give a man a PlayStation 2 on the day of his birth and watch him never need another game console for the rest of his life.

The 6th generation of consoles is one of the 3 most important generation of consoles in history. Absolute magic for 5-7 years straight.

I’ve always viewed the PS2 with this kind of mystic haze. I had a game boy advanced sp and a ds growing up and eventually my parents got a ps1 and then we jumped to a 360 when my parents made more money. Now that I have my own money and own a ps2, I can honestly say my expectations were exceeded by the games I have played on it

Ah, yes. The original KH2, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi series, Sonic Riders, etc. those were the days.

I got a used PS2 recently, and it's crazy to think that I'm experiencing it for the first time while others have memories of it from 20 years ago.

I loved my ps2. Jak & Daxter and the first Kingdom hearts alone made me so happy.

The 2000's was like the year of the gods. Everything from 00 to like 14 was INCREDIBLE music, movies, games everything was basically pure quality

I used to play my ps2 in my basement. It had concrete floors and unfinished walls. The smell of chlorine from our pool imbedded in the wood beams. There was a massive bulb tv down there. I’d spend countless hours playing Jak 3 & KH2 down there. Both those games are some of my top 10 favorite games and strongly influenced me as a kid.

This video made me feel old.

The NES: Original Zelda was what got me into video games at 6 years old in 1990.

My childhood was goated, had a ps2, played R&C, Sly and J&D.

Couldn't really understand them though since I was 4-7 and English isn't my native tongue but man they were fun. I emulated Sly 1 again last year and had a blast

Persona 3 on the PS2 is so underrated. People toss it to the side because of some design choices, but I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how little they affected my experience. The visuals aren't beautiful but they were weirdly immersive to me and really drew me in compared to the other games, and that may just be because of the story having a lot more uncertainty than the other games which made it easy for the game to make the player feel anxious but I think it's worth pointing out. Plus, those anime cutscenes were incredible. Reload is far from a bad remake but comparing the two's anime cutscenes, reload's are laughably weak in comparison. Yea persona 3 is really something.

I could live on the PS2 man, in a different world where I had nothing else. I swear, that rectangle had an aura to it: to the sound effects at the beginning, to the icons for the games on the save management, the UI overall, even before we get to the games. Persona 4 was my joint bro, favorite game of all time. Xbox 360 had some good on there, but definitely the PS2 is timeless.

These are my favorite type of videos. People telling personal stories about their love of video games and what impact it has (or has had) on them

I grew up the PS2, however I didn’t get to play the more mature titles, so one day I’m going to play through some of those titles.

i was 10 when the ps3 came out. Omg what an era, still play it & love it.

Poor dude got his potential childhood console taken away bc of a best buy employee 😭

I’m a lucky one. My dad was on the right side of history for consoles that we had in the house we went from pc to N64 to Ps2 to 360.
