Our Favorite PS2 Titles

I see these threads pop once in a while, but let's have another. ITT we discuss our favorite PS2 games. I just bought a CPU and GPU capable of running PCSX2 at 100% speed. Give me some of your favorite games, lainons. The past games I enjoyed on the actual console before now were >Final Fantasy XII (my personal favorite) >Grand Theft Auto Vice City >Grand Theft Auto San Andreas >Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 There are others, I just can't think of any more at the moment is all.

Persona 4 and final fantasy XII. Can't think of any other ps2 game i've completed.

>>857 Hail, my fellow FF12 player!

Persona series, FFX, Drakengard, Guitar Hero games... I have way too many games on PS2

Persona 4 Front Mission 5 Zone of the Enders 2 GTA San Andreas R Type Final

Persona series, SSX series, and Katamari series come to mind as ones that were never ported.

Whenever I reinstall PCSX2, I always find myself replaying Shadow of the Colossus.

Tales of the Abyss.

>>856 Crash Twinsanity Burnout 3 Hitman Bloodmoney

god of war yakuza Metal gear solid 3

It's not a ps2 game, but a playstation game. Future cop: LAPD. Great game would recommend. It shines in the skirmish mode.

>>909 I have yet to play this one, I had a go at ICO and found it just fine.

Zone Of The Enders 2.......if only we could have 3

Dragon Quest 8 is my favorite game of all time

Well.. you kinda nailed it. I will contribute with some other titles. >Rogue galaxy >Dragon Quest VIII >Radiata stories >steambot chronicles

Mostly japanase horror games. There were some really good ones on the ps2. Siren 1+2 Fatal Frame Silent Hill 2 Monster Hunter Gran Turismo 4 but I find it a pain to emulate.

Based upon what I personally played... Onimusha 1, 2, 3, and Dawn of Dreams Radiata Stories SOCOM US Navy SEALs Combined Assault Tales of Legendia Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

I really loved Brave Fencer Musashi. It had just the right level of comfy low-poly style and Action RPG elements. The day/night cycle and sleep mechanic were kind of new to "AAA" games at the time. > tfw, World Console War II is over. > tfw, all the old consoles died. > tfw, you still honor their ghosts via VM. > tfw, the PC was Valhalla all along.

SMT Nocturne Persona 3 fes Kingdom hearts

SSX SSX Tricky SSX 3

Jade cacoon 2, gran turismo 4 ratchet and clank 2,3 baulders gate da2 champions of norath

Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia Love that game, even to is a bit soykafy

Metal Gear Solid 2 FFX Zone of the Enders Silent Hill 2 and 3 Need for Speed Underground 2 Wipeout Fusion >>917 >Burnout 3 Forgot how much fun I had with that game

persona 3, smt nocturne and resident evil 4 were the only ps4 games i remember finishing on the actual console using pcsx2 I finished persona 4 and ace combat 4, though it was really clunky using a keyboard

Silent Hill 2&3, Romancing SaGa, Valkyrie Profile 2, Ape Escape 3, Klonoa 2, Radiata Stories, Ace Combat 5, Front Mission 5, Rogue Galaxy, Metal Gear Solid 2, Forbidden Siren 1&2, Sky Gunner, Final Fantasy XII: International Zodiac Job System, the beatmaniaIIDX series (gif related).

Timesplitters 2 Road trip adventure Adventures of cookie and cream Jak and daxter

SotC, Ico, two of the most perfect games ever made.

Metal Gear Solid 2

>.hack//IMOQ, GU >Silent Hill 2 >SSX Tricky, 3 >Devil May Cry there's a lot of hidden gems on this system too, can't think of em at the moment though. And visual novels, I liked Never 7.

Metal gear solid 3 Only game I finished.

Hey, Op! What was your upgrade hardware choices? Also, can I run PCSX2 on a FX8300 with 8GB ram and a 750Ti?

ring of red is great

Bujingai. Don't let the character design fool you. It's a DMC clone with its own mechanics

The Sly Cooper trilogy.

Glad to see that fellow lainons are men of such culture. Mine are >FFX >FFXII >MGS2 >MGS3 >Sotc >SMT Nocturne I missed out on so many other great JRPGs though, I wish they'd released ToA on PSN since my PC can't really emulate PS2.

Without a doubt > Beyond : Good & Evil (and its' very /cyb/ too) > Red Faction, first of its name

REZ and Resident Evil 4

>>1810 easily. op's garbage hardware must have been pre-2010 or a branded pc or laptop or apple product.

>>2150 keeping in mind that you might have trouble with some games

Fuarking love Shinobido The Way of the Ninja. And The Warriors has the best street fighting co op versus systems. we need a thread like this for every console.

>>2276 way of the samurai 2 is also good, similar title and ninja gaiden while you're at it

My favorite games would be.. >Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 >Initial D Special Stage >Jojo Bizarre Adventure Golden Wind (English patched)

>>856 .Hack//Fragment an actual multiplayer dot hack game. that still works with a patched ISO

>Tales of the Abyss >Burnout 3 Haven't played much on my PS2, honestly.

>>869 Katamari Damacy got ported to PC recently.

Devil May Cry 3, Dragon's Quest VIII, God of War I & II, Gradius V, Gran Turismo 4, Ico, Katamari Damacy, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid 3, Okami, Persona 3 & 4, Resident Evil 4, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Shadow of the Colossus, Silent Hill 2, Soul Calibur 3, Tekken 5, Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution

>Zone of The Enders 2 >Metal Gear Solid 2 >.hack series is good too

Can never go wrong with Megami Tensei(at least on the PS2). Persona 3 FES and 4: Great stories and characters, if a bit lacking in terms of dungeon crawling. The former introduced Persona as most people know it today, while the latter changed it up by having a distinctly cozy aesthetic, atmosphere, and setting. Both very much worth playing. Nocturne: Best pure atmosphere and mood of the bunch. It has this oppressive, lonely vibe to it, and it's wonderful. Can be grueling at times, though. Also, Dante. Digital Devil Saga 1&2: These entries ditch the demon fusion in favour of a more traditional JRPG party member system, and go in a different direction with their stories. For once in the franchise, 2 is a direct sequel. Raidou Kuzunoha 1&2: This one is an action RPG. Never finished it, but definitely worth noting.

Midnight Club 2 Midnight Club 3 : DER

Metal Gear Solid 3 Kingdom Hearts II Persona 3 FES

>>856 Definitely whiplash

I installed pcsx2 the other day to replay San Andreas and Ratchet and Clank 3, still two great games 15 years later. I also tried Ico, I've only played a little bit so far but it's an incredible game, not fun exactly, but very beautiful. I love the interaction with the girl, I love chasing those shadow things. I will have to try Shadow of the Colossus, as I understand it has a similar feel, I always see those two games mentioned together.

Sky Odyssey It's a little known Japanese title about flying through dangerous terrain doing acrobatic tricks for 'points'. Apparently, people find this game really hard to play. The story is a little weird and watered down, so don't expect much. I used to love flying around in free mode. Recommend you get the PAL copy over the NTSC one since the guy's voice in the mission briefing feels off. Mind you the guy in the video can't fly for soykaf.

ICO To be honest, I saw this game in the pauses of a guy on YouTube. And I immediately felt that this would be the best trip in life. This studio will have other games, strong ones. But believe me, this is the most beautiful place of all the game worlds. And the most impossible. But that’s the essence of our relationship with games, isn't it? :с

>>1619 Great to read it here. I hope the studio does not leave its beautiful worlds. I don’t even have enough words for them. I think this is not necessary.

>>856 Don't forget RE4

I've played ps2 for many years, here's La creme de La creme: *Shadow of the collosus *GTA Liberty city stories *Second Sight *Silent line: armored core *Blood Omen 2 *castlevania curse of darkness *Metal Gear Solid III: Snake eater *Red dead: Revolver * midnight club 3 dub edition remix *Area 51 *B.L.A.C.K. *Blood Will Tell, Osamu Tezuka's Dororo *Demon Chaos *Chaos Legion

Scarface loved the gunplay and the rage mode

I've played Kingdom Hearts ever since my childhood, and I really can't recommend it enough. It's one of my favorite PS2 games and I always see myself coming back to one of the series' games every once in a while. Other than that, there's also DMC3, an excellent hack-and-slash and one of the best of the Devil May Cry series (though I still didn't understand how the Bloody Palace works for the life of me). Besides that, there's also Zone of the Enders and its sequels, both which got me into mecha in general too. Beyond these there's also Medal of Honor, one of those WWE games and GTA: San Andreas

Final Fantasy X Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Dark Cloud 1, 2 Kingdom Hearts Champions of Norrath Dragon Quest VIII Journey of the Cursed King

super mario

One great thing about emulating is that you can play all those super rare expensive games like Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground, so anyone who reads this you should try them out. They're both pretty good

KH2:FM is by far one of the best games ever made

I played through Atelier Iris not too long ago on PCSX2. I had to experiment with settings but I got it to work despite having to deal with occasional voice audio studdering. It was the first Atelier games I ever played. I will definitely get Atelier Ryza when I get a Nintendo Switch.
