The only two flaws the PS2 had, imo, were the dreaded DRE and its relative lack of power compared to Gamecube and Xbox. But with its stellar games, you didn't really miss the added power all that much. DRE, on the other hand, that really ticked me off. My launch console didn't even make it six months. I remember being on the phone with customer service (this was before it became a a thing and Sony lost its lawsuit), holding the phone up to the console so the woman on the other end could hear it squealing like a dying dolphin due to the laser mis-reading haha. It wasn't until the Slim dropped that I finally rid myself of that generation's RROD . Still, it was the best console that gen by an eon and a half. It wasn't even close. |
PS2 was also dreadful with textures. They were blurry as hell compared to the other 3 systems which used pretty high res for the time. . PS2 also was horrible with jaggies. I didn't like how so many PS2 games had a greenish hugh to them.
Much prefer how Gamecube,DC,Xbox rendered games native to that their hardware.
