Ah yes, the super chad of its console generation, tons of great games, dvd playback, and PS1 compatibility! What's not to love about this legendary system?

What are your experiences with the PS2, what were your cherished games on the console?

Despite it being the weakest of its generation, you cannot deny they managed to craft some excellent games out of it with work arounds.

What are your thoughts?

Sony forced the studio behind Helldivers 2 to make a PSN account obligatory after the game launched. That's a pretty crappy move because PSN is not available in roughly ~~120~~ 177 countries, so if you live in one of those you can suddenly not play your game anymore. And Sony hasn't got the best reputation when it comes to securing and selling their user's data, so players are pretty upset and vocal about this.

But I would say that present day Sony's dick moves do not really fit in a topic about PS2 nostalgia.
