Cool to be the minority as I vote New Zealand story I liked the game.
I would have voted bully but I did not play it and I could not vote for a game with good mind that i did not play.

Looks like ZoE won the vote!

Well I am happy that a ps2 game won in the end than.
And the game does look sick but I never played and I fear two things that either it never got to Germany to begin with and well the price if I want to buy it.
I would have to wait either way till next year.

Idk much about emu via a PS3, but apparently you can use things called Cobra or Rebug if using a jailbroken PS3 to play PS2 games?

Also cos ZoE got an EU release I'm assuming that includes Germany but not sure

Well if its a PAL Game it should also work on a German console even if we did not get it.
And I tried to Emulate Ps2 games on ps3 via a emulator with my own Ps2 disc which lead to my Ps3 freezing I could not even turn it off anymore and had to cut the power directly not something I enjoy risking and I risked it a couple of times now.
I am not that Technical anyhow and I already had enough trouble with Retro Arch which I had to install 3 times and do all the work 3 times and I hope it stay by 3 and not more.

Yep I have a PAL copy somewhere so it's definitely not JAP/NTSC exclusive thankfully.

Damn fair play for not wanting to risk bricking your device. I hope you can find a way to play it.

Well Yes I hope so.
I looked up the prices and I hate being broke at the moment as the prices seem good in the 20€ mark and below for the moment.
I hope prices don't rise till I have the money.

I'll mail you my physical copy if you like?
It still even had the MGS2 demo disc inside. xD

Would be nice but don't ya need the game yourself ?

My PS2 can't read discs, so I'm using Free McBoot for games and it's a royal pain to add single games to play that way so I will probably emu on PC. I don't ever want to sell any more of my games ever again, but most of them now just collect dust, so I wouldn't mind mailing you my physical copy (you could always mail it back once you're done with it?).

But no worries if you've got other games to play through. Gears of War 2 is f*cking awesome anyway xD

Man I know that pain its my second Ps2 that I own my childhood one did not survive sadly.
I also know the feelings of not wanting to sell games especially if they have a nostalgic value.

And regarding mail I have to think about it I will probably write you a private message about it later
and again thanks for the kind offer.

I also would Emulate my Ps2 games on PC and I tried but my PC is quite old and not that great.
And In regards of Gears of War 2 I am also excited on how this will turn out funny enough I did not like Gears of War 1 in the beginning mostly because of the bat creatures that killed you in a second when you slightly moved to a place that is not bright enough but after that part he game fun.

Yep mine too, got my second PS2 second hand, it did me well for years then the disc reader just gave up lol

I've been forced to sell things way too often and as stupid as it sounds they're probably my most prized possessions.

Yeah no problem, just lemme know if you change your mind.

Until I upgraded last year my ancient laptop wouldn't have been able to play them either.

Yeah, the Kryll are rough xD I can't describe exactly how but 2 was just 10x more fun imo. Better missions, funnier dialogue and great online + horde mode is awesome too. Less BS difficulty spikes too.

Well if you where a sales man I would say you are doing quite a good job on selling me the game if I did not already own it

And on my Computer I already upgraded the RAM but that sadly is not enough I probably would have to upgrade the processor and graphics card to I suppose and well with the current costs and my knowledge regarding tech I don't see such a bright future regarding that.

Also how my Ps2 broke before my Gameboy is a mystery to me
but it seems I had a lousy one as even back when I was a kid It often would break which was well annoying when I got back from School just to find out my Ps2 was gone again and send to the repairs again and I only had a Ps2 back then as I was not a PC gamer then....ah what fun times those where.

But at least my current Ps2 seems to be holding up quite nicely I just wished I had more space on my TV as I have to chose which I stick in WII or Ps2 to play as most of the entries a HDMI...I of course could just get my old CRT tv from my basement but I have nowhere to place it.

ew kojima

His games dont have good gameplay but ZoE is an exception, wouldnt mind playing it again

It's easy to sell great games haha

Gameboys are pretty indestructible and thinks we're just built to be bomb-proof back then I think xD I've always been a console gamer and yeah trying to get discs to read has always been a crapshoot, never had that problem with MegaDrive cartridges

The Wii's a tonne of fun but yeah I agree port swapping is a chore xD and now most modern TV's don't even come with component or Scart! Things move too damn fast lol

Yeah by modern TV its a hassle as you need a HDMI Port to even connect the damn thing nowadays.
And ya port swapping is a pain especially with my cable jungle I just can't keep it orderly at all.

Also I remember a bad memory where I bought a bran new game I think it was at Real in Germany this is how the super market was called...It was Star Wars Battlefront 1 for the ps2 and It did not run this was a really bad experience especially back then where you could not order things as convenient online and actually had to go there yourself.

Also I also was a Console gamer as PC was to much of a hassle for me with some minor exceptions besides I never could bring most of the games to run because of the software or whatever back then.
