RPGs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ima theif :D

[Lancet Jades]

RPGs have done well, but shooters too...

Its 50/50, i think

[Wallie Wildo]

yeah shooters are pretty big on the ps2 but i think that the rpgs are better

[Twilight]

lol but isnt this what WE think is the best? >_> lol i think RPG's and shooters and probly a little fighting games i guess lol

[Lancet Jades]

Eh....there are some fighting games, but i think the majority of PS2 games are RPGs and shooters...

=/=/=/

[Twilight]

true and Xbox is ALL sports basically

[Ricdeau]

I think Action/Adventure games have done well. With the appearance of GTA3 and GTA: VC Companies know what they have to do to keep people buying their games, and so the whole market has increased in quality.

RPG, Fighting, and Platform

RPG, Fighting, and Platform
Yeah...but have RPGs truly flourished? I mean, there are only a select few 'good' RPGs on PS2...

[Zelphiel]

not really... all of them are at least decent, which is better than on other consoles.

True, but other consoles have a lot more "good" RPGs. The genre has more or less idled on PS2 =/

PS2 has Suikoden 3, Wild Arms 3, Xenosaga, Grandia 2, Grandia 3, .hack 1-4, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits, Legaia 2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy X/X-2, Disgaea, LaPucelle, and soon to be Suikoden 4, Final Fantasy XII, Star Ocean 3, Phantom Brave, Magna Carta, Xenosaga 2, and LotR the third age.

at least 3/4 of those are more than just mediocre rpgs.

RPG is getting bigger over here, buts its still not the monster that it is in Japan.

I guess so... =/

Platformers have probably flourished the most on the PS2, but I was just arguing that RPGs have as well. :D

[Lancet Jades]

Yeah, i guess, but PS2 RPGS mostly lack the...timelessness...of SNES and PS1 RPGs.

[Zelphiel]

some of them will probably gain that over time... just like the others had to do.

[Laggy]

IMO nothing can beat SNES on RPGs timelessness.. ps1 didnt, not for me.. ps1's rpgs are good..but not that good, lol

PS2 still has some ok RPGs...but i mostly play PS1 games on it lol

PS1 also had a lot of good RPGs. But...i dunno. None of the PS2 RPGs struck me like the SNES ones...

RPGs. I can't really get into any other genre on the PS2.

First-Person Shooter games : Too used to the N64 with those and the "Z" trigger button; so I can never get used to the controls no matter how much I tried. Although I did get used to Star Wars Battlefront and loved it. One game still doesn't equal up to tons.

Survival Horror : Way too easy and short. Took me 4 hours to beat Silent Hill 3.

RPGs: Many GREAT games with amazing storylines, fun gameplay, interesting characters for the most part, nifty music, and can keep me captivated for hours on end.

As for the other genres of games, I don't really play those anymore, although I have played a few fighting games, few action-adventure, and so forth...and didn't like them at all. Got bored too easily.

[jethro]

i like the rpg's of course

i haven't really played many different genres

some of the soccer games have been good
