No, fuck off with this meme.

Save the earth is LITTERALLY nearly the exact same game just with more content and characters and a better single player, and Unleashed is LITTERALLY the same thing as that with even more characters.

There's absolutely zero fucking reason to play destroy all monsters melee when Unleashed exists.
>>
>>377661043
Destroy All Monsters, Save the Earth, and Anihilation were all pretty good.

I eventually stopped talking to him after that. Last I heard he's still living at home with his parents.

I had to buy all my own games as a kid.

>>377661043
Destroy All Monsters Melee back during the 6th gen. The GBA one was also OK.

>Want PS2 for Christmas
>Mum gets Gamecube because store clerk persuaded her to buy it instead
I'll have to thank that guy someday.
>>
>>377660607
I have a PS2 demo disk with this game on it and have always wanted the full game. Me and my friend have been slugging it out with just the ape and the eye-monster for like fifteen years.
>>
>>377660607
My dad bought my brother and I Tales of Symphonia when we dropped hints that we wanted Gauntlent Dark Legacy. To this day i'm glad that I was introduced to the Tales series that young. Purely by accident. Wound up leading to me years later getting one of my favorite JRPGs: Tales of the Abyss.

Are you dumb or something mate? You don't even know all the good PS2 games let alone list them in the space to type here

God that reminds me of this angry British twig I knew growing up.

>Guy is arrogant and short tempered
>Has the nicest mom in the world, very kind, kind of old, and supportive
>Guy treated her like shit every time she walked in the room, cursing at her, calling her retarded, etc.

I had to sit in the car with this guy when his mom was driving us to a friend's house and he spent the entire ride just shouting and cursing at her. I avoid him like the plague and so do my other friends but he'll hound us to hang out with him and usually we're able to shake him, but there are also times where he'll just show up so there's not much to do about it.

Only reason we don't kick him out when we hang out is that it's really fun to piss him off

>>377662549
>Unleashed is LITTERALLY the same thing as that with even more characters
Are you retarded? Unleashed is honestly a downgrade from Save the Earth even with the roster size increase. I love my monsters but no amount of Biollante/Titanosaurus/MG74 is going to fix the waggle and the shitty environments and the floating.

That was a hell of a find.

It was a happy fuck up. It introduced me to hermeticism and Greek philosophy too.

how did you react to her gift?
if you had just done what a decent human would do, you'd say "gee thanks grandma"

This kind of shit always depresses me. I grew up with my mother and she always spoiled me rotten, got me everything I wanted. I was never like these kids, but I always get sad when I think that I could have been and that I still didn't appreciate all the long hours she put in just so I could be happy.
>>
>>377662697
This is why you discipline kids. I can't even imagine what my parents would do if I pulled that shit.
>>
>>377663124
I have both. I just think the Gamecube had a better concentration of good games. The PS2 was saturated with shovelware.

>He puts it off for awhile, saying we don't have the money to buy games right now.
>One night when I'm laying in bed, my dad walks into my room with a smile on his face.
>"Hey anon...I know you've really been wanting that game for awhile, so I got some money together and got it for you. Here."
>He hands me a copy of Digimon World.
>It's not the game I wanted, but I hug my dad and thank him.
>It was one of the best games I ever played.
My dad may have been a piece of shit a lot in my life, but I know he cares about my brothers and I even if we don't see each other anymore. I love you, Dad.

My dad got me Jackie Chan Stunt Master, Castlevania Chronicles and Guilty Gear one Christmas

He bought them off a friend from work, but they were all clearly stolen. Those were some fun as fuck months of vidya since I usually only got one game a year.

>The PS2 was saturated with shovelware.

Because the PS2 had every single game...it's not a detraction of the console. If your console is popular and everything is being released on it, of course it's going to get shovelware.

Same reason you shouldn't fault the 3DS or DS for their library's being comprised of gigantic amounts of shovelware too.
