My problem with Nintendo = far too cutesy cutesy cartoon stylee. Probably why you like it Alang ;o)
Conversely, PIKMIN is adorably cute and is still a great game. Plus can you get ANY Zelda game on PS2 -- I think not. Oo, a game with the name like Vice City -- you can just tell that they spent all the development time on gameplay, structure, reward and plot, and not say... graphics of LADIES in a state of UNDRESS :-)
the cockfarmer
Zelda = meh.
I must admit the star wars game looked gorgeous on the game cube but the short play I had didn't really impress, mainly style over substance.
1. I had a PS1 and games and I like the backwards compatability and DVD playing and CD playing and all that malarkey. Maybe the Nintendo does all that too, I don't know.
2. People I know have PS2s i.e. lots of games to borrow.
3. I wanted to play Jak and Daxter and Ape Escape II. Especially Ape Escape II. Jak and Daxter is brilliant.
Bad things about the PS2:
1. Too many sports simulations and hey-we're-badass games. I will probably end up checking out GTA3 but it doesnt make my mouth water.
So this thread is to ask about PS2 games that I would actually like. I like strategy/adventure/mentalist Japanese/funny arcadey stuff. I like football sims but need to know which are the best ones for someone not all that good at them. I like games which surprise me. I don't like games which try to be films. I don't like horror games. I don't like wanky cyberpunk stuff.
We were playing a demo of Frequency the other day and that seemed good but rather frustrating.
Prisoner of War looks interesting in that it's a stealthy, escape from the guards kind of game, not a strict gung-ho fighting one.
I take it driving games are out?

give the man a cigar, he is absolutely correct

Ico (for beautiful puzzle and heartstrings action), and Rez (for 10- minute shooting synesthesia action) are the answers.

Rez and Ico are the most innovative titles, the ones which are more like the ones Sega/Nintendo are famous for. Which isn't that surprising for Rez, as it was a Dreamcast games first.
My support of the PlayStation stems from two things: the fact that my first addiction was Final Fantasy VII (and no other platform really supported RPGs as well), and the fact that it was, bluntly, cooler. But I always knew that The ill-fated Saturn/Dreamcast and the self- crippled N64 were the place to go for Gamer's Games (go on - feel the quality!), and that the PlayStation was the place for the stuff shoveled out for the masses. In a way the PS2 may have benefitted from the X-Box seizing this ground from them, and then realizing that just doing a shitload of sports/driving/shooting games isn't enough to keep a console afloat.
Two of the problems with the Gamecube (though I'll probably get myself one in the next year) is that it's relying almost totally on Nintendo games rather than third-party stuff, and that the games, to be honest, look like kids games. I know that Mario and Zelda are going to play like heaven (not very convinced about Metroid), but I get enough stick already without playing something that's in such bright primary colors.
I'm not much of a console fanatic, though I do get some pleasure from the fact that no-one's suggested that Tom buy an X-Box.
