You forgot Code Veronic, Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure 2 as it is superior to the original. The massive titles you listed all came out in a year and a half. How long did it take for PS2 to release all of the games you listed? like 7 years? Also you're just generalizing here. Dreamcast had a shitload of gems no one talks about as Metacritic doesn't give them praise, but they were awesome games. Ikaruga, Alien Front Online, Headhunter, Demolition Racer, Test Drive Lemans, Toy Comander, Swords of Berserk, Gigawing 2...all amazingly fun games where it mattered the most, gameplay Fuck, it had few games released in the last 2 years that are better than some major PS4 and Xbox One games. Gunlord and Sturmwind. Look at this awesomeness... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zy2k_iwJDY You're telling me that you'd rather play The Order over that? |
Actually, FFX (2001), KH (2002), GTA3 (2001), MGS2 (2001), SoTC (2005), DQVIII (2004), Jak and Daxter (2001), DMC1 (2001), Okami (2006). Most of them came out in the first 2 years, none of them took 7 years, and I could have easily picked other games (such at GT3 or Ratchet and Clank) that came out relatively early in the PS2s life.
And the Xbox had it's library in and out in 4 years, yet we still got the games I listed and more.
I never said DC wasn't a fun console, that the games sucked, etc. I'm just saying, it only lasted 2 years. There are great games in there, but because the console got discontinued, there's limitations to the amount of games it had. All those great games you named, I could go like for like with the PS2, PS1, OG Xbox, SNES, etc. and have more games on each console, to boot. Even the "gems no one talks about because of Metacritic". And they'd all be great games with great gameplay. Had the DC lasted longer, we'd be having a very different conversation.
