The Playstation 2, has been finally laid to rest, as Final Fantasy XI, being the last active supported game for the PS2 has finally closed its service to the system today.
What are your fond memories playing games with the system /v/? Surely you have lots.
>>332707551
Feels bad man
>>332707551
Funnily enough I was at a WalMart earlier today in the middle of nowhere in Arizona (just passing through) that had a decent PS2 selection. I remember seeing Socom, Twisted Metal Black, some GTAs, Super Monkey Ball, and some other stuff
>>332707551
>being the last active supported game for the PS2 has finally closed its service to the system today
What do you mean? Was it one of the very few games that supported online?
>What are your fond memories playing games with the system /v/?
Jak & Daxter trilogy was the shit.
>>332707875
FFXI had online for PS2. It ended its service a few hours ago.
Had a ton of great times with the PS2.
.hack
Phantasy Star Universe
Wild Arms 3/4/5/Alter
Devil May Cry 1/3
God Hand
Okami
Bully
Fucking localized Sakura Wars.
I was pretty sad when releases dried up. I still find the art//graphics appealing. Starting to feel that sadness again, but for the PS3 this year.
>>332707551
>What are your fond memories playing games with the system /v/?
People will give me shit for this but few gaming memories are more precious than playing Kingdom Hearts over a decade ago as my first PS2 game. My first ANY manner of Playstation game, actually.
watch sony launch a playstation 2 2 in the future out of desperation or lack of creativity :^)
>>332707551
They should really shift FFXI onto PS4. Considering it's a game that was designed to run on almost everything, it shouldn't be hard to port. I've ran it on my toaster at home before.
>>332710848
Porting the PS2 library over to PS4 kinda makes that redundant though.
That being said, there's a lot of good PS2 games I'd like to see running on the PS4 . FFXII is one of them.
>>332707551
>What are your fond memories playing games with the system /v/?
the thousand+ hours I spent playing phantasy star universe/aoti online with it left me with a ton of great ps2 memories

>>332707551
the sad part is the final expansion pack was ported around a year or so ago iirc
ps2 was such a gem of a system
I wish I could relive the late 90s to 2009
golden age of video games desu
I started playing it again this week and was reminded of how how much better console games ran then.
Everything feels so much faster.
Even the games the worst running games on the console, like SotC, don't feel that bad.
I'm surprised by how many of these games never dip and feel like they are 45-60 frames.
>>332707829
meanwhile at my walmart
Jesus, I still remember getting FFXI and the HDD expansion for PS2 (PC was a shitty dell at the time that ran FFXI at like 10 FPS on lowest settings. I still remember being blown away by the world and how alive everything felt.
>>332707829
Last time I went to walmart, there was actually several rare JRPGs available, like Xenosaga III or Tales of the Abyss. I should have picked some of them up.
Picked these up yesterday for two bucks a piece from my local pawn shop.
>>based battlefront 2
I am very pleased.
>>332707551
Discovering the Ratchet & Clank games and playing through them was one of the best experiences I had with my PS2.
>>332707551
playing ace combat 4 and 5 in the ps2 was the great thing ever
i....i need a moment...
>>332707551
>I didn't own a PS2
>nobody I knew owned a PS2
>literally never even saw a PS2 in person until I bought one for myself a few years ago
>somehow this thing sold 150m units
I love my PS2 though. I like being able to go online and find a bunch of games I've never heard of for $10 each, and some of them will actually be good.
>>332713286
Where the fuck are you? Brazil?
>>332713494
US of A. Everyone I knew had a gamecube or an xbox.
PS2 was a slow burn in my case. I got one pretty early on with the Gran Turismo 3 bundle, but for the next couple years it was DC > GC > PS2 for me. Eventually it shifted to GC > PS2 as the DC had finally faded off. It wasn't until the GC burned out that I really got into PS2 stuff. In the end it was the best of them by sheer volume and jrpg goodness. The lengthy on-going support in the form of new games it got even after the PSP/PS3 launches sealed the deal.
>>332713606
Odd. I'm in South Carolina and most people I know had a PS2, with myself being the only person with a gamecube. Most people only had sports games and maybe Tekken, though.
>>332707551
I thought SE closed FF11's services years ago?
But yeah, it's a shame that it was the last halfway decent system Sony ever made.
>>332713606
Are you black?
>>332712502
Yeah I had a similar experience, but it wasn't the last time I went, it was long before that. But the games were still basically full price, which was pretty absurd so I didn't bother with it since I wouldn't really be gaining out in the end plus I already owned them.
Then during a black friday sale they had a group of bargain bin PS2 games by no-name publishers, but in the midst was a cardboard box copy of Dragon Quest VIII for 5 bucks. This was decently far into my game collecting but in a fit of stupidity I can only attribute to an uncharacteristic lack of desire for acquiring nice things I decided to leave it. Well, I already owned the game, so there's that consolation.
Emulates well under PCSX2 These days
I am playing MGS3 for the first time
>>332713757

>>332710559
Loved that game to death growing up, but
>YOU'RE NEVER TAKING KAIRI'S HEART
thank God the FM version added a scene skip feature
There are a lot of PS2 games I absolutely love but the system itself is such a piece of garbage. Thank fuck they're so cheap because I've gone through like three of them while my day one GameCube and Xbox work just fine.

I started with a gamecube so I had more than a few games for it. When I started getting PS2 games for a long time MY GC collection was bigger, but now years later my PS2 collection spans multiple shelves where my GC games are more or less where they were when I was a teen. Last was DC collecting but that's relatively recent, but I think I still have more DC than GC games at this point.

I really love a lot of the weird game on the system like Disaster Report and Robot Alchemic Drive, but I really can't get into Rumble Roses. Maybe I just don't get/like pro wrestling games.
>>332714002
I own 2 PS2s and haven't had a problems with either though I've heard of ones with drive problems. I've heard of dying gen 1 xboxes like the older brother 360, but I've never actually seen or heard of a dead gamecube.

Black is like some wizard game like Rogue Squadron was on the Gamecube. The tricks these games use generally don't emulate very well, but it's been a while since I last checked so maybe these things have improved. That said, the very nice looking FF12 emulates pretty well.
>>332714435

Were there seriously FFXI players still using the PS2 to play the game? It must have ran like ass.
>>332714002
Only PS2 problems I ever had were with the laser. I can't blame the PS2 for that considering I used it 10x more than other systems.
I softmodded a launch one (no laser needed) and it's still good.

Blood Will Tell is pretty fucking fantastic, but nobody ever talks about it. You're a samurai whose body parts have been stolen by 48 evil fiends. You have prosthetic replacements for every body part missing, such as blades in your arms and a bazooka in your leg. As you regain body parts the game changes how it displays itself, for example the game starts in black and white but when you get your eyes back the colour is restored. It has fun combat and tried a lot of new stuff.

What's amazing to me is that back in the day (and we can go even as far back the NES, SNES, Genesis times of the early to mid 90s) sports games were expensive as hell. Like 70 dollars in 90s money. I can't imagine spending more than 50 cents on a game like this these days. Also:

Too many to count really. PS2 was amazing
>>332717586
I missed a bunch of games, obviously. OutRun 2 is also fucking legendary but a version exists for PS2 as well.
>>332707551
I bought a PS2 used on ebay a few years ago and it came with THPS4, I never touched the game until last weekend and turns out it's fucking great. Why didn't you guys tell me THPS was so fun?
>>332717502
All of them.
>>332717657
when i think of PS2 i always remember when it was summer break from school and me and little bro explored GTA 3 all morning
>tfw still remember fucking around in the airport
>>332710848
>watch sony launch a playstation 2 2
So you mean a PS3?
Because it was basically a "PS2 HD" console for a long while.
damn, seriously?
huh.
easily the best gen for games. everything was hitting their stride and there was a ton of creativity.
>>332715136

>>332712363
>$29.92
You sure that's not a Nintendo game?
you now remember when top tier games didnt cost $100+
The Sly Cooper series, Ratchet & Clank series, Jak and Daxter series, Gran tursumo, and so many others. The PS2 was based dude

I own a huge number of PS2 RPGs and I won't answer this. Why? Because it's totally subjective and there are a huge number of rpgs on the PS2. Like personally on of my favorite series is Xenosaga, but at the same time, the games range from terrible to okay in gameplay and the story to game ratio is absurd. Still, you'll like what you'll like and most PS2 games bet by on how they're individual gameplay systems appeal to you or how much you enjoy their individual quirks. It's sort of a dead-end question unless you want the "standard" answer best games, which you'd no doubt find via google.
Why are PS2 games so cheap compared to games from other consoles?
I loved Armored Core 2 and 3 to death. I still wish I had people to play versus with.
I remember playing mgs2 in my room, which was the cold dark garage, and drinking tang from pouches good times. still remember how mindblowing it was seeing that beginning segment on the tanker with the rain. pretty sure that particular part ran at 60 fps.
>>332707551
Playing Madden 2004 with my dad, I didn't really like it but it was the only game I had he had any interest in and every Sunday before the chargers played we would sit down and play the days match up through together
>>332716995
is the pilot death? or is the...robot?
>>332717715
Multiplats don't count, faggot.
>>332715969

PS2 was popular as fuck so it sold alot of every game.
Good luck finding a copy of GC Fire Emblem for cheap.

>There's no way you're taking Kairi's heart!
Got that printed in my head from the countless tries on expert diff being a preteen
>>332717786
PS2 had games thoughnah i know what you mean, i've been building up my ps3 collection recently, found a french version of that rare african lion safari game at a theift store but decided not to pick it up
>>332717906
Are you talking about when ps2 games were new they weren't selling for over 100 dollars like they are on the aftermarket now? Otherwise games rarely cost 100 new even back in the 90s.
>>332717751
I thought people have been praising Tony hawk games before underground 2 around here for years now.
PS2 is a bit overrated though. Most 1st party stuff was no good. Many games started losing ambition due to a crashing Japanese economy
>>332717906
Well memed. Games are cheaper than ever.

Where do you guys live that Walmart still sells PS1 and 2 games? I live in a desert and Wally doesn't even have any PS3 games left.
Even Gamestop doesn't sell anything from last console on anymore
>>332716995
>this got a model kit release
But its super expensive. Just like I can't get a decent priced Ikaruga. But that was released on the GC so let's not delve.
>tfw we'll never get Viewtiful Joe 3
>>332718487
I mean the tail end of PS2 era. The poor thing sputtered to an end. Early 2000s was strong
>>332716269
Oh my god, I love ace combat and its stupid superweapons so much. The Scinfaxi boss fights were fantastic.
But is it a retro-console yet? Because then I'll be old.

I have fond memories of ignoring the PS2 and playing on Xbox instead because it's a better system. Good times.
>>332714856
My GC just stopped reading disks one day. Email Nintendy and everything, they gave me a disk cleaning thing, and it worked at first but it eventually stopped again. Only reason I keep my Wii is so I can play my GC games.
>>332707551
Fucking hard to keep track of them all.
A few are,
Burnout 3
Armored Core Series
Ace Combat Series
Freedom Fighters
007 Nightfire
Shadow of the Colossus
Mercenaries
Jak and Daxter Series
Ar Tonelico
>>332718838
This. Xbox and GameCube ruled my life. I played a good deal of PS2 but I preferred the Xbox
>>332718954
Yeah but now it has no games.
>>332718818
Nah, I just dont watch tv, I go from home to work then to /v/ and then some vidya before going to bed

>Battlefront Series

Pandemic was seriously good.
Sonic Unleashed
FFX
Budokai and Tenkaichi games
Fuck...

Many games weren't good from the outset since it was such an open system and a lot of junk got published because why not it makes money. I doubt the JP economy and "ambition" had much to do with it. The system had an entire series of games based on the premise that they were crap but were cheap, which was also present on the ps1.

>Was hooked into WoW at the time.

It's a puzzle game that gives you no hints or tips on how to do things outside of telling you how to perform certain actions.
>DDR MAX2
Fuck playing with my uncles before they had a family was fun as fuck...
Bet none of you faggots played this gem of a game.

I'd say your a fag for having a name on but I liked Crash Nitro Kart
>>332707551

Its sitting somewhere in my cabinet collecting dust.

Fun Fact: The US Airforce of all people bought the rights to this game and released it for free.
>>332719406
I quite like it, it has a nice atmosphere, but there are issues like repetitive combat.
>>332707551

There will never be a greater console. Ever.
My fondest memories are playing Yakuza 1 and 2. God hand and MGS2/3 were also really great.
Other than that I dont care much for ps2 I do love my PS3. Great DVD player on my CRT however.
>>332713606
Okay, where the fuck are you in America? I'm from Ohio and everyone and their dog ownes a PS2, or did at some point.
>>332707551
this is from a while ago my 4 favorite games
>>332719835
Well yeah, when Midway went bankrupt anyone could have bought it and distributed it for free.
>>332719835
Wow, why?
>>332719835
That was nice of them.
>>332719808
Why didn't they get a refund, if your sister couldn't play it at all?
>>332718350
Not really as much as the 6th gen if you count all the DLC and season passes they do now.
