The PS2 has taught me something about the HD era.Rant.

Well that's a very small number to judge a system on. What you're calling overrated is probably not the same thing the majority of people liked. The PS2 had about 3500 games if I remember right, hundreds of which very well recieved. The great majority of them you didn't experience.

I played around 150... and I believe the number is over 5k games total, don't think I lost too much great games, but there is certainly a possibility, but at 20 games that is very insipient to say the system is overrated. Maybe he really loves one of the other systems and them he downplay PS2.

I played about 200 games on PS2, owned just over 150 yet still missed a lot of its highly praised exclusives. I don't understand how anyone can call a console "highly overrated" without at least trying 1 third of the games that hyped the system in the first place. And I'm not talking big sellers.. the internet and core gamer community have far more respect toward games like Dark Cloud 2 than they do for, say, Call of Duty the Finest Hour!.. a game completely forgotten despite its higher sales.

 

Person A loved the PS2 because he/she greatly enjoyed more than 50 games on it.

Person B thinks Person A was "overhyping the PS2" because he/she didn't particularly like the 10 games they played even if these 10 games aren't the same ones that made Person A like the console. Hence this immediately invalidates the term "overrated" because the two had entirely different experiences.

And we could imagine that is possible that the 10 games are annual franchises or could even be 10 Fifas...

Like someone hear complained about games on PS1 (like just a few N64 were good, and almost all other were bad)... But Soul Reaver for me is great, even bought it again on PS3 and still loved it. And if I wasn't filled with games on PS4 and PS3 I would have a lot of games I would go back to on PS1 and 2.
