Fair enough but I fail to see how this makes the system bland or soulless.

RPG is a broad genre. If you loved Xenoblade there is a fair chance you would've liked a few PS2 RPGs you probably didn't even hear of, let alone play. Though I understand that you're just speaking your experience.

The exclusives largely felt joyless to me, and the multplats were better on Xbox. Also as a console it didn't have a strong identity in my eyes; the PS1 was a bold, adventurous portal into a brand new world of 3D gaming, even the PS3 was a majestic juggernaught of larger-than-life epics. But the PS2? I struggle to find any memorable moments of my time with it. It was like a downgraded Xbox without Halo. And yeah, I'm speaking from experience, I kind of have to, since there's not a system on the planet where I have played its entire library, haha.

Well I for one wouldn't bash a console based on experience alone. I'll have to make sure I at least played 50-75% of its highly regarded games before I judge. And by played, I mean spending a good amount of time to have a valid opinion about that game.

If you ate a slice of pizza and it tasted off, would you eat the rest of the pizza? 50-75% of PS2's library would consume a lot of my time and energy, and evidence thus far indicates it would be wasted. I've played most of its highest rated and praised titles, the majority let me down.
