Ok, yeah, I don't particularly agree with the argument, but I nevertheless remember the point that the gamecube had a rather poor launch.

and no the Cube didn't really sell that well, it wasn't a failure per say but it wasn't exactly strong either.
edit: Unless somethings changed. Always possible.
edit: Luppy there was HALO. Whatever you think of it people loved it.

Halo is for the Xbox....

*grumbles*

I'm tired ok? I don't want to argue this point anyways, and I don't particularly care to dig around for early PS2 titles. Never liked Sony anyways. And this argument misses the point. Irregardless of a correlation, there is no causation proved by aformentioned article. While interesting, I never cared for it. <_<

The point is a killer app needs to exist for a system, but not always at launch.

Yeah the PS2 sucked until about 6 months in. That's why game companies are not writing off the 3 yet.

The PS2 Wiki says that the system launched in 2000, but didn't really pick up until 2001.

FFX was released in 2001, so there you go.

Orphen was actually pretty fun.

Don't know why it didn't become a bigger name thing.

Probably because people were going "Hold on, Sony. Only Nintendo is allowed to do new stuff! And even then only if they do it with Mario!"

Orphen: Scion of Sorcery was this semi-rpg/platformer game where you're on this boat with your apprentice and this sea monster attacks.

You end up on an island with one of several different groups of people depending on who you talked to when. Different groups have different abilities which you use in solving puzzles and suchlike.


After you beat the game, you go back to the boat (still leveled up and with all the spells you managed to collect in your path) until you have beaten the game with every group of people.

One group can only be joined AFTER you have already beaten the game once.

Right. I got a PS2 recently, so what would you suggest besides Orphan?
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

Disgaea 2, 1 if you can find it, Katamari Damacy, and Dragon Quest 8, for starters.

Ugh, I hated the Disgaea games...

If you like stealth/action stuff, Metal Gear Solid 3 is awesome. The Jak and Daxter games, all three of them, are probably my favorite Platformers ever. Katamari Damacy is always fun. Those are the best things I can think of off the top of my head...

Devil May Cry series--except 2, that one kinda sucked.

KH series.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is fun if you like fighter games.
