What are some good games on PS2? I never owned a PS2 so I wanna go back and play all the games I missed.

Exclusive or Multiplat, well known or niche, even if it's just your favourite game that might be shit to someone else. Give me a big list of games to play, /v/.
>>
so does the PS2 not have any games just like the PS4 then? Maybe I shouldn't get one
>>
Off the top of my head, the GTAs, Onimushas, Some of the Resident Evils...
>>
Second Sight
>>
Ace Combat is golden
Everyone deserves the chance to play the 3 PS2 Ace Combat games
A lot of PS2 games got PS3 ports or can be emulated, but not these ones.

Resident Evil is worst played on PS2.
>>
>>343510461
do you have a ps3?
A lot of the most popular PS2 games have HD collections that usually perform and look better.
>>
Jak and Daxter are top tier platformers
>>
Dragon Quest - The Journey of the Cursed King
is probably my favorite ps2 game ever
>>
>>343510461
Metal Gear 2 and 3, God Of war 1 and 2, Silent Hill 2 and 3, Shadow Of The Colossus, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3
>>
Okami
Silent Hill 2
DMC 3
MGS 3
>>
>>343510461
GTA:SA, Shadow of Colossus, MGS3, God of War, Prince of Persia, Ico, Okami were great PS2 games.Some of them you can find on PSN.
>>
Persona 4.
>>
>>343512459

With the exception of Silent Hill (maybe Dragonball? Who cares) those are all better on PS3
>>
>>343510461
Katamari, Kings Field IV, SMT, Burnout 3, God Hand, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry
>>
>>343512724

>Burnout 3
Bumping this and Revenge, but they're better on Xbox and 360.

reminder that if you have a PS2 with the chip or have a way of loading non-retail disc, go set up FMCB so you can load vidya over your network
>>
>>343512997

Internal hard drive for fat PS2 is better

But yes, FMCB/FHDB is GOAT
>>
>>343511894
>probably the biggest library of its generation
>no gaems
nice joke
>>
>>343513142

>Worst multiplats and ports to PS3
PS2 still has good games but it's gotten shittier as the yeara have passed.
>>

>>343510461
P4
P3FES
MGS2
MGS3
Okami
DQVIII
FFX
SOTC
KH1
KH2FM

>>343513284

Laser death is lilely for fat PS2s. What a shame.
>>
>>343513321

You've got shit taste senpai.
>>
ecco the dolphin
wipeout pulse
transformers tataki (cheesy but fucking gen1 transformers are the shit)
katamari damacy
we love katamari
>>
>>343513442

>wipeout pulse
Poor port. Use a PSP, Vita, emulator or Wipeout HD Fury
>>
>>343510461
Shadow Tower Abyss
Yakuza 1 and 2 which have HD versions but were never localized here
MGS2 and 3 but they've been ported to PS3
DQ8 although that has a 3DS version now
Okage if you can manage through the combat system
Drakan The Ancients' Gates just know that the memory card save is fuckhuge
Onimusha series play them in order back to back for the full experience and so you can properly know why 3 is actually a weak entry

yea, a terrible shame, but I was too young to even consider looking up what could've been wrong with it.
Nowadays I never throw away shit just in case one day I end up trying to fix them.
Just like this current PS2 slim I have, it stopped loading almost all of the discs I have but I still kept it in the drawer in case on day I end up buying a replacement laser and decide to fuck around with it and fix it.
Few weeks ago, I get the idea "what if I can load games from the HDD?". Sure enough, that kind of solution existed, so while looking it up I found out that you even load games over the network which ended up being a better solution.
What an amazing community
Just found an ad that some guy is selling a "damaged" PS2 "with broken laser" for $10, I might get it and see if I can set it up to work again.
God bless technology

Okami and SOTC are good I guess. And I heard good things about DQVIII.
The rest though? Complete trash.
>>
>>343513782

>hd fury is garbage
You're gonna have to elaborate on that one
>>
>>343514334
AI shamelessly cheating on elite mode is my main gripe with it.
>>
>>343514448

I guess that's a fair reason.

Still, emulating the PSP version is superior to playing the PS2 version.
>>
>>343514334
Elite is ridiculous.Like this gentleman said >>343514448
>>
or just play wipeout 3 special edition on your ps2.
can freemc play ps1 games yet? i stopped using my ps2 years ago so fell behind with the mods and hack stuff.
>>
>>343514285
>Complete trash.
get out kohai
>>
>>343514680

With FMCB you can use a swap trick but that's all. Don't even bother with that HDD emulator garbage.
>>
The Shadow Hearts series is good, perhaps apart from From The New Word. It's enjoyable though.
>>
>>343510461
If you like JRPGs, play these: Tales of the Abyss, Wild Arms 5 (also 3, but 5 is better), Dragon Quest 8, Persona 3 and 4, Final Fantasy X and XII.
>>
>>343510461
Peter jacksons king kong, its a movie game but one of the few that turned out really well.
>>
>>343515050

If you like JRPGs, don't even think about touching Persona 3 or 4 or Final Fantasy X because you'll want to never touch another in the genre again.
>>
>>343515103
Because they're so shit you won't ever want to play anything similar or because they're so good there's no way you'll ever play something better?

In both cases you're a faggot. They're all not the best but they're not bad either.
>>
>>343515285

FFX is just proto-FFXIII and Persona is SMT made shallower with some social sim to compensate (it doesn't)
