Updated the list with 6 more games cause I somehow missed a few games the first time around??? Uh. I blame Google Sheets.
I haven’t played so many of those games…
I wanna see the list of games that had less than 3 votes.
Just refer to my list, mostly
Espgaluda
Pop’n Music 10
GOD HAND
Dragon Quarter
Katamari Damacy
Nightmare of Druaga
Nocturne
Culdcept
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
Whatever that last Hot Shots Golf was called
I wrote that list ages ago and didn’t post it
I guess it might be interesting to do a Round 2 where everyone has to post another top 10 but it can’t be any games from the above megalist. We’d get some real SB quality kusoge like fkn… Super Galdelic Hour.
mine too. I’m the avatar of uncool.
ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!!! THE COLLABORATIVE LADDER MATCH OF FAVORITE GAMES CANNOT BE STOPPED ON THIS SITE
I distinctly didn’t say best folks. I said Personal.
shinobi
beatdown fists of vengeance
armored core 3
armored core silent line
(i will come back to this)
also want to shout out that the ps2 was a very good dvd player u cant discount that. couldnt watch road house on the gamecube ykwim
also remains one of the easier consoles to un-DRM!
ooo i can’t believe i forgot Shinobi on my list
the box is staring right at me in my apartment
edit: but yeah a round 2 could be fun. just picked up Castlevania: Lament of Innocence from my mom’s place this weekend and looking forward to finding out whether or not i still like it
GUNGRAVE
I kept stalling out trying to come up with a top 10 because I’d start with mgs2 and sh2 and nothing else was on that tier for me that wasn’t another silent hill or metal gear. so I wanted to come up with a list without them but then most else of what I’ve actually played was rental shovelware trash
I had the problem of continuously thinking “oh I have to put that game of course” and then remembering it was a PSX game. Took a while to get in the “what is a PS2 game” headspace
Gradius V
SMT Nocturne
Digital Devil Saga 2
Raidou 1
Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast
Shinobi
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
Capcom vs SNK 2
Space Channel 5 Part 2
Guilty Gear XX
Was stuck trying to think of games that didn’t eventually get ported but then saw Rudie say it was your personal top 10 so I just listed them anyway
It really surprises me that no one has mentioned Taiko Drum Master, since it and PaRappa The Rapper 2 are the only PS2 games to be considered part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO.
Turns out if you install something called Mechapwn with the help of a FreeMcBoot you can make your ps2 region free which is great for me.
I’ve now used the MemCardPro 2 to declare it: PRETTY GOOD. On my US PS2 Slim had barely any hitching. The games that haven’t run are this:
Midway Arcade Treasures 3
Official Playstation Magazine Demo 51
Some fan made X in 1 isos
Unlike the cheaper options it works with Gran Turismo 4. I wouldn’t pass full judgment on that because I lose patience and barely finish one race when I boot it up. But on the cheaper ones it just freezes.
I came back to this thread to post the Official Rankings of the games I played this run around from best to worst.
CV Curse of Darkness
Killzone 1
Ridge Racer V
Psyvariar 2 Final
Simpsons Hit and Run
Malice
Grandia 3
God of War
Adventure Island
Dead to Rights
Look I’m surprised about this as much as any of you. CoD may be dull but its extreme competence really carries it above the competition.
Did I mention my God of War was from one of the other iso-players and is the censored version where there are still titties everywhere but you can’t have sex and the cyclops have armor to hide their precious eyes and the more gorey kills just cut to black?
Tenchu 3
Virtua Fighter 4
Winning Eleven 6
Dynasty Warriors 3
Sakura Taisen 3: Paris wa Moeteiru ka
D.C.: Four Seasons
Memories Off #5: Encore
Kanon
To Heart 2
Clannad
