>>8165 Ōkami God of War & God of War II GTA: (III, Vice City, San Andreas)

>>8165 Alien Hominid Armored Core 2 Beyond Good & Evil

rule of rose psyvariar, dodonpachi daioujou and mushihimesama god hand front mission 4 breath of fire dragon quarter roommania rez

TimeSplitters 1/2/Future Perfect (developed by an offshoot of the Goldeneye developers, last game has a fleshed-out story mode) Ace Combat 4/5/Zero Devil May Cry 1 & 3

>>8165 Drakengard Guitar Hero games if you're into that King's Field IV There was a super soykaf game called Area 51 that I loved

A lot of these games have either native PC ports, or better ways to play it then PCSX2

Ichigeki Sacchu!! HoiHoi-san! Sly Cooper series as well!

I've been playing final fantasy 12 on my ps2 lately. I thought I wouldn't like any of the newer final fantasy games but I ended up really liking this one. it's like a real time with pause battle system but you can also move your characters around. the aesthetic is a lot more classic final fantasy than some of the ones that came before it, and it takes place in the same world as final fantasy tactics. it's not a fan favorite, but if you like the series and haven't tried it I highly recommend.

Shadow of the Colossus Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 I remember playing a lot Brothers in Arm

>>8165 I recommend the first Atelier Iris game. It was the one and only PS2 rom I downloaded and completed since the emulator I used was very janky and caused audio skipping. It was still enjoyable. I would say Ico but the PS3 version is so much better. I would also say Onimusha but the Steam version exists.

>>8165 Gran Turismo Shadow of Rome Dark Cloud Ace Combat Armored Core Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction The Getaway Fatal Frame Valkyrie Profile 2

>>8203 The first Fatal Frame hasn't aged well. The controls are a pain in the ass.

>>8203 >Battlefield 2: Modern Combat I recommend you play the actual Battlefield 2, and avoid this dumbed-down trash that lead to the eventual ruin of the series.

the silent hill series is probably my favorite video game series of all time I highly recommend

These are what I remember owning and playing from back in the day... Black Bully (bunch of) FIFA games Final Fantasy X The Getaway God of War 1 and 2 Gran Turismo 4 GTA III, GTA VC, GTA SA Gun Hitman 2, Hitman Blood Money, Hitman Contracts ICO Killzone Manhunt, Manhunt 2 Max Payne Metal Gear Sons of Liberty / Substance / Snake Eater / Subsistence (bunch of) MotoGP Okami Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Red Dead Revolver Silent Hill 2 and 3 Sniper Elite Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Amon Tobin does the soundtrack to one of those and it's dope, Jesper Kyd also scored the cinematics...) sooo many Tony Hawk games The Warriors Yakuza & Yakuza 2 Rockstar stuff was the most replayable. Although I dread to think how many hours I put into Gran Turismo.

ICO Shadow of the colossus Beyond Good and Evil Final Fantasy X Jak and Daxter Dark Cloud

>>8206 BF2 Modern Combat has nothing to do with the PC BF2 at all. It's a complete spin off, that was nothing like any BF game that came before or after. Literally no idea why you're this upset unless you're some PC-only grognard, because BF2:MC gets universal praise from anyone that has actually played it. I'm only talking about the singleplayer campaign here, it's a point and combo-based arcade shooter with an very cool gimmick where you can warp into taking control of any friendly soldier in your line of sight, which is one of the best game mechanics in any FPS game ever. It's highly underrated, and probably the second best 6th generation console shooter.

Rule of Rose. ICO Xenosaga Seriously one of the best catalogs out of any console.

>>8165 if you enjoy SH2 and Fatal Frame, you must play Forbidden Siren, it's on PS2.

>>8165 Bujingai (not sure if was released outside of japan, might have another title in english if it was) Kingdom Hearts I & II Persona 3 FES Persona 4 R-Type Final Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Silent Hill 2, 3, even 4 is worth playing once Stella Deus Suikoden V Tales of the Abyss Wild Arms Alter Code: F

>>8181 Seconding Atelier Iris. I had a good time with it back in the day. Some of the Sega Ages are probably worth checking out too. And Thunder Force VI.

>>8165 I'm shocked no one mentioned The Mark of Kri. Great action/stealth with intuitive controls and some of the best kill animations. Right up there with the Tenchu series.

>>8165 check out: haunting grounds okami osamu tesuka's dororo (blood will tell) DMC3 chaos legion demon chaos

If you're looking for good PS2 games, I would recommend checking out /v/'s recommended games. They have a PS2 section with titles worth considering. https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStation_2 I assume it was compiled by members of 4chan/v/ but I don't know. Nonetheless, I've used this multiple times as I consider it to be a pretty good list. Even if you don't approve of everything on the list, it should feature something that you would like.

Tetsu One Densha Dodon Pachi Daioujou Mahou no Pumpkin Togue 3 Tairyo Jigoku Technic Beat

GodHand Devil May Cry 3 Urban Chaos Killer 7 Shadow of the Colossus Colosseum Road to Freedom Hitman Blood Money Gun

No one mentioned Midnight Club 2 and 3, really fun if you like a challenge

Shadow of the Colossus Bully Final Fantasy X Final FantasyXI Final Fantasy XII GTA: Vice City GTA: San Andreas Driver: Parallel Lines Need for Speed: Most Wanted Need for Speed: Carbon Gran Turismo 4 Gun ICO Killzone Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence Ace Combat 4, 5 and Zero Samurai Warriors 2: Empires Warriors Orochi 2 Code of the Samurai Way of the Samurai 2 Tales of the Abyss Top Spin

Ignore everyanon and go play Odin Sphere. OS mogs

I didn't think this was worth making a whole thread for this but what best in terms of the cheaper, hassle free and reliable way to play pirated games on a PS2 I have?

>>8165 I recommend Ar Tonelico 1&2, Dodonpachi Daioujou, Densha de Go!, Zone of the Enders, Evergrace, and .hack//IMOQ >>8170 based shmupbro

>>8165 Katamari Damacy Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando Ratchet and Clank 3: Up your Arsenal Ratchet: Deadlocked Jack and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy GTA Vice City

> Silent Hill 2 > GTA: Vice City I don't get it... Why not just play PC version? It certainly has better mouse support.

>>9016 Old post I know but someone might be wondering about this. Get a memory card with OPL on it and then you can either use the internal HDD or a Samba share on your LAN to load games. You can power a Raspberry Pi 3 offering a share from the USB port and keep your games on there. The Ethernet port has faster data transfer than USB so if you've got a slim PS2 this is your best option. >>9305 It's not the case with the enhanced edition mod nowadays, but the original release of Silent Hill 2's PC port was much worse than the PS2 version. Plus your emulator might let you slap a cozy CRT filter on it if you don't have the space to have one at home. >>8165 Kaido Racer 2/Kaido Battle 3/Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift 2 (depends on the region) is pretty good if you like Initial D. This one was only ever on the PS2. Oni could be worth a look, though this might be on PC too. It's a Ghost in the Shell inspired action game.

>>9321 >Tokyo Xtreme Racer Is the 2025 one worth playing or stick to the classics? I'm not sure which one is the best to play though. >Oni Oni was great but I got filtered on one of the harder bosses because I put my game on hard mode and you can only collect so many heals per level. Mukade has one of the coolest character designs I have ever seen though.
