The Mustang is better in pretty much every way except the amount of miles it gets in one tank.

Exactly.
New technology doesn't necessarily mean better gameplay

I've been thinking about PS2's balance, lifespan and gameplay problems recently and almost every problem can be traced back to things that a PS1 approach (if not copy) would have fixed. What is done is done I guess.

This, every time I think about what PS2 is missing or done wrong I just think of the same situation in PS1 and note how PS1 got it right, or at least better.


Problem is for players who never experienced PS1 is they assume it's just tired old vet moaning, rather than genuine criticism and comparison.


I suggest reading AARs and watching Youtube vids to get a feel for PS1.

I'm old, and tired, and a vet.

I'm complaining that PS2 sucks.

And I have an entire room full of fucks I'm not giving for what the BF3/PS2 crowd thinks.
