Built-in lag? What? PS2 had a ton of rhythm games with frame-perfect timing. And as for shooters, I don't remember there being very many, though you might be confusing it with the PS3. That console had shooters that remapped firing and ironsights to R1 and L1 respectively, because of the stupid, stupid triggers that slanted down too far and let your fingers slip off.

I dont where it was i read but some shooters on the ps2 felt insanely floaty and laggy because of input lag that was caused by the ps2 shooters on the xbox didnt suffer from this if i am correct. Some games like kill.switch on the ps2 though felt very smooth to play however.

It's not really lag but the analog dead zone suggested in the PS2 devkit was larger than it needed to be and adopted by a lot of games including shooters which made fine movements feel pretty bad. You can see this for example if you compare RE4 between GameCube and PS2 -- it's probably the biggest thing that makes the PS2 version worse and that's saying a lot.

Is there a way to fix this atleast if try playing with say something like a brook or 8bitdo adapter since they have a way to configure inputs

Didn't the lag come into play depending on what HDTV you were using with your PS2?

The highest you could upgrade your PS2 connections was component (green/blue/red) cables, so rather than 480i you could do 480p.

As you can see here, the difference between i and p is that with p, ALL layers are shown at each refresh while only every other row is updated with i. The diferent colored cables still used analog signal but split the display colors into their own wires so when all 3 were connected you would get a much crisper clearer picture than say S-Video or the generic composit (red/white/yellow) cables.

HDTVs, even back then, were digital, as they all had HDMI hookups as the main default with composite (or component, if you were lucky) as the secondary hookups. HDMI cables are digital signals. When you try to connect an analog device to a digital screen, said screen has to convert that analog signal into digital, so of course you're going to loose time and frames, but depending on your TV it would be either a few frame drops to INSANELY OBNOXIOUS lag (e.g. doing an action and the sound that comes off of the tv is 1:1 response to the action but the screen is stil stuck on the non-action motion for like a second or two). There are HDTV's that have something called "game mode" that allows you to play analog games 1:1-ish, but as a sacrifice, the picture quality is shit (personally I have never seen these HDTV's before).

It's this reason as to why a lot of old console players just preffer taking the CRT TV pill by going to whatever thrift store is near them and buying one from there.
 
Can we talk about how the PS5 has been on the market for 3 years and it STILL has no games worth buying a PS5 for.
A lot of people say that it's a cheaper alternative to a PC. The only problem with that is that I'd pay money not to play the games that receive PS5 ports. I also personally helped a friend build a PC during the "let's bump the fuck out of our prices coz covid" era. It turned out to be a cheaper alternative to the PS5 and it can run almost anything he throws at it.

With the exception of the Switch or Valve's Steam Deck, you have no legitimate reason to buy a console in 2023. Especially now that emulation is easier than it ever has been.

PS2 is really meant for 480i, using 480p and worse forcing it introduces a lot of little issues like the PAR being incorrect. It's ok because on a normal CRT TV 480i looks absolutely incredible, to the point that I prefer playing GC and Xbox on a CRT over using 480p -- games on those console and from that era just look better that way.

If you haven't already, you oughta watch this video by American Krogan. It's got the most thorough breakdown of what Neil Druckmann's agenda was from the very beginning.

EDIT: Oh, and a video about the TV show. This one is more recent.

Yeah, I know about the Jewish stuff. Like I said, the whole game was one big middle finger against the fans and creators of the first game.

It's far more than that. The truth of the matter is, nobody in the West should give a rat's ass about the squabbles between Israel and Palestine. But through TLUO2, we see just how petty the conflict truly is. Druckmann desperately wants to justify why Israel is doing whatever it is doing and he used the artform, the videogame medium, to try to force the fans into a state of acceptance and understanding. This is therapeutic for Druckmann. He needs to murder Joel not just once (in the game) but now twice (in the HBO series) because Joel is an icon of masculinity.

HBO's TLUO is even furthering this agenda. It's not just about promoting Israeli politics on the Western mind, it's about dismantling Western Christiandom. So you have episodes that force homosexuality down your throat. Episodes that force Communism down your throat. Episodes that dismantle the American father figure through the emasculation of Joel. To put it succinctly, Neil Druckmann hates the West which is ironic given the same freedom West has given him also enabled him to make a game and TV show that promote all these woke politics.

if Miles Morales is Spider-Man, why was the Miles Morales game called Spider-Man: Miles Morales and not just Spider-Man? And why wasn't Spider-Man called Spider-Man: Peter Parker?
