Nostalgic yet ahead of it’s time.

Indeed, I remember those times when I had high hopes for the future of humanity back in the early 2000's. I thought humans would turn out to be wiser and more intelligent. More technologically advanced, than what we are now. Yeah, I 'm disappointed.

PS2 the third place had its own not necessarly futuristic but very tranquil and melancholic ambience which at the time wasn't really around and that moment in time is something only some of us experienced and i really love knowing that.

To me the soundtrack to Sonic R is fully representative of that vibe

@@obliqueparalells429 Tech has advanced and will continue. Humans are becoming more intelligent, it's hard to see the change, but it's happening.

I just bought a PS2 recently. Probably my favorite console of all time. So many great games. ✌😎👍

It's true. Nostalgia is the most powerful drug

Man I still have my PS2 since I was a kid, it's perfect condition and still is the best console to play with all the games I have lol

I was about to comment this! I have been looking so long for a video like this

that dreadful feeling when the screen slowly goes red with that deep hum is something i will never forget lol

Sometimes the ps2 itself would scratch the games.

​@@OliverNorth9729 Good old day’s

Hope you'll get well soon

Our past and memories are important to remember. They made you who you are now. But don't let them trap you - we have to keep going into the future.

@@InOnesGraveDed But I still keep coming back.

@@InOnesGraveDedthe future is undecided. A path forged is not for you to decide but the beholder of one’s path. I don’t wanna grow up

Well said🤙

Absolutely well said

@@Frogstomp27 It really did feel like something from another universe back in the day! It was such a huge quantam leap forward for games. I suddenly felt like anything could be possible, and all the games at the time reflected that. So much diversity, choice and cool ideas. Nowadays....

​@@sayno2lolzisbackyeah ps2 games are the best still lol. Every game was vastly unique. Now I can't find any games like them

I had that exact feeling when I heard the title screen music from Sonic Mega Collection Plus for the first time in over 10 years. The strongest rush of emotions I’ve ever felt from a piece of media, it was kinda magical.

Same 🥺

I don't like to put on the rose-tinted glasses and assume everything I liked as a teenager was The Best Ever, but man... the PS2 really was a high-water mark for a certain era of video gaming that I'm not sure we'll see again. Sure, I had fewer worries and cares in those days and I could just enjoy my silly video games in peace, which makes the memory feel warmer and nostalgic. But the industry that makes games and consoles has changed forever, in very real ways.

@@Zarathinius well said, brother. I agree with all of this wholeheartedly. I’m sure some of it is nostalgia, but there’s just something about the PS2’s mystique. True, it came at a part of my life where I had no struggles or worries, but the fact remains gaming just hit different back then. Definitely a era we’ll probably never have again.

And hell is when you put the wrong type of disc in it.

@@backrooms9089 absolutely true

May he rest in peace

I agree. As much as I love the current PS5 it's menu has so much content which on one hand is great but on the other hand it's kind of over stimulating.

It's a different world now. I agree, it feels sad. It feels worse at times. It feels we have lost the old one. We can still get lost in these worlds on KZfaq though. We can find peace here, and it is all preserved. Such a special time we had before, wasn't it? I'm so glad we're all here.

In case isn't obvious, since the western market (tried to) domitate the market shareholders are the target audience, not players. More than that, there was a debate about games being art or not, and Japan was trying to make "a point" with tittles like ICO or SH. There's no 2023 equivalent to SH2, the "artistry" of modern "classics" like Bioshock it's at the level of depth of Tim Burton movies if anything. Also, gaming in console was mostly a solitary experience, reflected on the games, the menu ambience, etc. No Tropies or DMs. So, in short yes boomer nostalgia is cringe but the console market is one of the things that absolutely gone downhill, like, objectively developers aren't even wanting to do something good. What you're hearing is introspection and mystery, nothing you'll find in current times

It’s up to us to bring that magic back, in whatever it is we choose to do. Let’s go team

@@afriendlyphantom3080 hell yeah Hero

-of memories, of things that have no heft yet when all is said and done, do these things not return like the rising sun? the same thoughts that make you laugh, that make you cry? maybe they run in a circle, not a line. something

let me try and when it gets dark, in my mind i hold her hand so soft, so warm.. i hold it tight pressed against my heart timeless emotions i wont break, not even a smile, as i slowly open my eyes i realize im too far far from home, only dreams made me this strong something~

-so dark, and far away like a tunnel, you've traversed in your dreams, in your past seemingly endless, as the lights flash onto the car backseat in the night this beautiful struggle we call life, existence like a tunnel, you've traversed in your dreams, in your past seemingly endless, yet more finite everyday everything

Yggdrasil, the grant life being Whimsical nature, follow the trees The guidance of Eve, the wisdom of thieves Or was it perhaps a gift to be received? By none other than nature. Immortal life seed. Immoral sight seeing. Be witness to nature and all of its leaves. You're not a trespasser but simply and free.

That's because it's mysterious and magical in the best form possible. It's like being in a dark void and having feelings of safety and comfort but also it has nostalgic vibes to it because for some people playing on PS2 was their childhood. Mine was like that. Maximum beauty in a video game console. It's so relaxing and hypnotizing and brings up all sorts of good memories from an earlier and a simpler time when holding a controller felt special. Early 2000's was so amazing and legendary in fact the whole decade was.

"In my restless dreams, I played the PS2 every night after school and before waking up to the morning cartoons. You promised you'd bring me back to those times, James."

Poka Ukrainu bombili... Sladko spalos vidno ?

I feel the same ❤

e man, também

mhm, less is more, definitely comes to play in first-world countries so saturated with immediate entertainment and consumption. taking a moment to stop, let your brain breathe, and appreciate the smallest things, really can make you physically, mentally and spiritually healthier!

Oh, you mean nostalgia? 😮

you mean your very thoughts and existence?

Now we are the cool kids stuck in adult life 😢

I hope the best for you and everyone you love - it might suck now, but that gives a purpose for what’s to come

Eto pravda 😁
