Getting a PS2 for Christmas, any essential games to start out with?
Chaos Wars...I'm kidding, but that's an exclusive at least.
>>728474680Kill yourself
>>728474573Ask for a PS2 Sata adapter and FMCB memory cardDownload GTAJakKatamariRatchet and ClankHere Comes the PainDMCUrban ChaosTimesplittersFFX
>>728475053Alright, thanks anon.
>>728474573
>>728474573ratchet and clank, jak and daxter
>>728474573Every Tenchu, every FromSoft game, Resident Evil 4, Twisted Metal Black, Ace Combat 4 5 and 0, Final Fantasy X X-2 XII, MGS 2 and 3, Shadow Hearts 2, Silent Hill 2 3 and 4, Suikoden 3 and 4, Trapt, .Hack//Infection series, Zone of the Enders, every Timesplitters, every SSXThis should be enough to get you started
>>728476219>Silent Hill 2 3 and 4I would love to get these but they each cost like 150$.
>>728476459Really? I might have to sell my old copies then since HDD + softmodding makes for an objectively superior play experience.
>>728476586Apparently they're some of the more rare ps2 games. I emulated them and loved them, would kill to play them on a CRT.
>>728476459No reason to buy PS2 games, lol. Just get a hard drive adapter and download OPL like already mentioned in this thread
>>728475021Don't feed the trolls, retard.
>>728474573Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2
>>728476459OPL
>>728476748Is it hard to setup?
>>728474573Every game from here. Scarface: TWIY and Burnout 3 are must-have's.
>>728477443Never trust a man whose PS2 catalogue mostly consists of Western games or ports from PC.
>>728477303No, you just put shit on a USB then copy it to your memory card on the PS2. Get an adapter and pre modded memory card off eBay or something. it’s even easier these days because you can just drag and drop isos onto the hard drive. I have an older version that needs OPLmanager to move games over and I’m too lazy to upgrade because it already have dozens of games on it.
>>728477443where did you get the 3d looking covers thats so cool
>>728477136 Kino taste, anon. That game has no right being as fun and fast as it is. Banging soundtrack too. Played it to death back in the day with a busted Pelican controller and still had the time of my life.
>>728474573Not essential, but any SpongeBob PS2 game is certified kinoge. Any licensed /co/ movie game is, too. Incredibles, Cars, Wallace and Gromit, etc. Pac-Man World 2 and Namco Museum Arrangement, Sonic Mega Collection too. There might be more but I wouldn't know
>>728474573ratchet and clank, socom navy seals, ty the tasmanian tiger, burnout, atv series, war of the monsters
>>728478150When you're 10 years old in 2000 and your mommy only buys certified dogshit games
>>728475053beat me to it. I'd add the Yakuzas, Dark Cloud 1 and 2, .hack GU, SMT digital devil saga, nocturne and P3FES and P4, and Raidou 1(remake plays better but looks worse imo so it's up to preference) and Raidou 2
>>728474573Mr Mosquito
>>728478354bodied that retard imagine recommending Cars and the Incredibles
>>728478354Hell yeah, vidya is fun
>>728478485

>>728474731Chaos Wars got me into Sound Horizon.https://youtu.be/tKO7YOsJxPs?si=bzr57R9y_WCmoK2t
>>728478354Nah, battle for bikini bottom is pretty good. That's why it's getting reboots and fan mods to this day
>>728479191I dunno man, anyone I've seen mention that game on youtube is very obviously on the spectrum
>>728474573Battle for bikini bottomKing Kong The incredibles NBA/nfl street Ratchet and clankSpongeBob movie gameMinority report Night of 100 frights
>>728478354SpongeBob ps2 games were complete kino. That era was unstoppable >>728478621Cars and the incredibles were kino too. All THQ/disney games around this era were
>>728474573If you want a comprehensive list of good PS2 games, check out the /v/'s Recommended Games Wiki.https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/PlayStation_2Also, look into console mods recommended above. There's another one called PSBBN, which is the Japaneses-only PS2 online interface now translated into English. It's more costly/difficult to set up than the modded memory card solutions mentioned earlier, but the UI is super slick.
>>728479305lol anon BFBB has a huge fan base, especiallly dedicated to speedrunning it. SHIFT is still speedrunning the game to this day. You know it got remastered for a reason , right? Because it was a beloved game of the era, and still is
>>728476459please dont fucking spend 200 bucks on a ps2 game and just softmod your shit dude
>>728474573Metal Gear Solid 1-3Silent Hill 1-4Resident evil 1-3 + Dead Aim + Outbreak Final Fantasy 7-10Persona 3:FES & 4Parasite EveSpyro 1-3Crash 1-3Jak 1-3Ratchet & Clank 1-3Sly Cooper 1-3Devil May Cry 1 and 3IcoShadow of ColossusTime splitter 1-2Half-Life

This one is also a must play
>>728479939These patched versions suckI'd rather play emulated
>>728476729They aint rare, they're just some of the more desirable PS2 games and they're begin scalped
>>728479838that 18+ label takes me back
>>728479939I played all of these versions and loved them. I would just really like playing them on a CRT.
no one mentioned god of war or thps...
OP here, by the way, I need to upgrade my CRT. Is there a specific one that's good for PS2/DVD?
>>728482423just search facebook marketplace for anything that has component inputs and is at least over 20 inches
>>728482298god of onions was never good
>>728482298God of war is on par with those shitty toddler games posted above
>>728477671Yeah all the games this fag is playing suck>not a single JRPG>not a single classic platformer>not a single one of the huge action games>godhand which he probably can't play well>rule of rose which is the most overrated horror game ever>oni which sucks>that version of Deus ExIt must be bait
>>728475668you posted this in a ps2 thread like 3 months ago and I 100%'d the game because of it!
>>728482567Lighten up anon, video games have no age limit
Goblin commander
>>728484486Its crazy how much worse we have it now than back then
>>728484647like 90% of that picture is shovelware
>>728474573007 NightfireSly CooperRatchet & Clank
Burnout 2
>>728484486Downhill Domination should be under 'Sports PS2 Exclusive"
>>728484486ps2 has the greatest catalogue of any console ever especially compared to now days it's so unbelievably stacked
>>728484486>stuntmani bought it new at release from FUCKING GAMESTOP and ended up beating it by hate-playing it for wasting my fucking moneythe very concept hooked me from the description on the case plus it being made by the Driver devs as i played the absolute shit out of Driver on PCbut i ultimately found the game extremely frustrating especially with the poor loading times, not sure if a hard drive remedies that, but the load times destroy the experience. do a stunt or two, don't get the next one right, retry, sit on loading screen, get all three right, don't get the next one right, retry, sit on loading screen, repeat ad nauseam.
>>728484576pure sovl
>>728484705ok then remove all the non-japanese games and its still better than the PS5 catalog with its Ubishit removed
>>728484705you don't know what shovelware is, child
Ratchet 1 2 3Rayman 3Kya Dar LineageSly 1 2Beyond Good and Evil
