Pound for pound, the PS2 ranks as my #2 Greatest Console of All Time. (Coming in second to the almighty SNES.)

You'd be an idiot not to have this thing ranked in your top 3.

And I'm still having fun with the damn thing.

The library is so damn extensive, and the prices for the games now are dirt cheap. I'm having a lot of fun going back and picking up some of the titles I missed out on during the years I was more focused on building up my retro collection.

I'm currently almost finished with "Okami" and next up is "Final Fantasy XII".

My collection is up to 65 strong right now. :fing02:

Word, i still have my ps2 connected, its the only console i own right now as i mostly play games on pc. But i recently finished resident evil 4 and Bully, got the devil may cry 3 triology for 10$ the other day because i had just finished dmc 4 and felt like revisiting these games. I don't have most of my games anymore, borrowed most of them.

Here i got:

dmc 1, 2 and 3
Bully
GTA san andreas
Fight Night round 3
Oni
Grand Turismo 3
Psy Ops
The Bigs(baseball game)
NHL 2k8
Dark Cloud 1 & 2(Great action rpgs)
Fatal Frame(Scariest game ever made)
Metal Gear solid 2
Manhunt
Final Fantasy X

Thats pretty much it, i have/had about 20 more that i borrowed to friends.

Funny thing is, just this last year the ps2 was still outselling the ps3. To me the ps2 is the greatest console of all time with snes in second and dreamcast in third.

dam, i wanted to do that too... but i have heaps of cousins that havent upgraded to next gen and will literally pillage my collections again :(

I agree but I have the ps2 #1 greatest console of all time.

I have to say that mine is retired though. I use my ps3 backwards compatibility and play ps1 and ps2 games.

Gran Tourismo 5 babii!!

Gran Tourismo 5 babii!!

hell yeah, that is definately a console seller though. every person who is into cars or remotely interested in tuning will pick that up and guess what? You need a ps3 to play.

My ranking of the SNES as #1 just dates back to my childhood.

As far as the worth of the library goes (and you must factor in all the PS1 titles youc an play on the PS2 as well), the PS2 slays the SNES in that department.

But overall, the SNES had a pretty big impact on my childhood, and kept me out of a lot of trouble. It also didn't hurt that some of the titles on it are still some of the best games around, and the music and atmostphere in some of those games are still classic and make me think back to when I was 6.

But yeah, the PS2 is a beast.

I can't count all my titles off hand, but this is what springs to mind that I know I've got.

Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
The Metal Gear Solid Collection (1, 2, and 3)
The Devil May Cry Collection (1, 2, and 3)
Castlevania : Lament of Innocence
Castlevania : Curse of Darkness
Resident Evil : Code Veronica
Resident Evil 4
Final Fantasy XII
Okami
Every Onimusha game (1, 2, 3, Blade Warriors, and Dawn of Dreams)
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
God of War 1 and 2
Yakuza 1 and 2
Spartan : Total Warrior
Megaman X Collection
A couple Splinter Cells
2 Burnout games
All of the Fight Night games
Shinobi
Genji : Dawn of the Samurai
A few Dynasty Warrior games
God Hand (I'm one of few who loved this old school beat 'em up)
Gran Turismo 3 and 4
GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas
That ****ty Alone in the Dark game (looked cool at the time, but it actually blows)

And quite a few more.

I'm seriously lacking in RPG's though, so if anyone has any suggestions, let me hear 'em.

hahaha i thought i was alone on this. i dont have a 360 or ps3. i got call of duty but my friends give me that wtf look when i tell for ps2 haha. and im still playin fight night round 2 and the warriors. i need to upgrade. i only want a 360 for FNR4 though..

I'm with 'ya, son.

I'm more interested in the 360 for it's library of games, but that whole red ring **** makes it a no go IMO.

And the only titles on the PS3 I care about right now, are GOW3, Yakuza 3, and that new one being devolped by the team that did Ico and Colossus.

Other that those, I'm really not interested.

I'm content to beef up my PS2 collection some more. :)

Dark Cloud 1 & 2 are great, 2 being the best. It has so much going on, i never actually finished it. There is an invention system, you can just create new items/weapon by combining junk you find, items you can create are in the 1000's i beleive. You build towns as you want them as you progress. The most interesting stuff is that you create your own weapons by combining weapons you find as you play.

Honestly, zelda doesn't have **** on dark cloud 2.

And that is what i have :boxing:

love my ps3 except for the dust it collects & the fact that it doesnt get any expansion packs for games like gta4 & metal gear solid unlike xbox 360.

other than that, i also love my ps3.

Sons of *****es.

I gave mine to my boy. It was modded too. I just got bored of it. All I played was Marvel Vs Capcom 2.

Great console though. Number 1 on my list for sure.

I'm definitely going to look into that. I loved the weapon creation system in "Castlevania : Curse of Darkness", and it sounds very similar.

****, I had as much fun on that game just making weapons and armor as I did actually playing it.

Is it a rare title or anything?

How much can I expect to pay for it?

Nah, not really rare.

You can order it on ebgames for 16.99$:

http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=21689

It's used though.

9.75 used and 36.46 new on amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Cloud-2-Playstation/dp/B00006Z7HR

Or if you have a ebgames, gamestop or anything like that close to you, you will probably find it there.

I don't suggest getting dark cloud 1 if you plan on getting the second one, it's a good game with some of the same features but it's pale in comparison. Plus the first one doesnt have the invention system.

I'll probably pick up the first one, just to have it in my collection.

Typically speaking, if there's a game I like a lot, that has sequels/prequels/spin offs, I usually like to get them all to complete the collection.

Like the 1st and 3rd Devil May Cry's were badass, but the 2nd sucked dick. But I bought it anyway to complete that collection.

Thanks again for the heads up, I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for that one. I may even go look for it this week. Sounds killer.

It's been so long since I got wrapped up in an RPG. I can't wait to spend countless hours killing idiotic creatures that spawn endlessly, and watch my character morph into a total badass.

I sold my PS2 and my games :( had a huge collection. I had this weird thing where if I bought one game from a series I had to buy the entire series.

I had a ridiculous collection cause I got it since launch.

I'm the exact same way with having to complete series and ****. :lol1:

I first my my ps2 when it came out. It lasted like a year then wouldnt read discs. So i actually threw it away lol. Sold the 20 games or so taht i had. 2 weeks ago i bought a slim ps2 from a friend for 20 bucks. It was in acceptable condition and i am restarting my collection. Its pretty fun and easy and pretty cheap to do.

Get an upgrade, *****.

Nothing beats playing San Andreas on a PS2

Get an upgrade, *****.

What the **** for?

The PS2 was the last great gaming console.

Nowadays you've got your choice between a gaming console with an extensive library, that will ultimately blow up in your face and/or burn your house down.

Or an overpriced blu ray player that also functions as a computer, has 3 good games, and gives you the clap.

That is true. It will give you the clap. :lol1:

Hey The_Bringer, if your going to get Dark Cloud I would suggest getting Rogue Galaxy, made from the same guys, and the weapon creation and combination system is ****ing ridiculous and it great fun too. I don't think I saw Kingdom Hearts on your list either I would get those games as well, don't let the fact that there are disney characters in the game fool you, it's awesome.

I tried to play the 1st Kingdom Hearts a while back.

I got the living **** beat out of me by some jackass cowboy riding a giant invisible chameleon or something.

Tarzan can't fight his way out of a paper ****ing bag, and don't even get me started on Donald Duck. That ***** must've dropped dead 16 times. :lol1:

But yeah, it seemed alright. I just got my ass handed to me really badly, and never played it again. I'll have to buy my own copy, and give it a whirl. It's only like $10 or something now anyway.

Rogue Galaxy, eh?

I'm going to look that one up right.....now.

Damn, "Rogue Galaxy" looks pretty badass. And my local Gamestop has it for $15.

Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

stupid cheap nuthugging giant ******

PS2 is mad value, i picked one up for ten quid a few weeks back, I got a copy of Disgea with it, anyone here played that?

You burned me, Reed....... :(

Ain't played it. But everybody keeps telling me it's a top 10 PS2 RPG experience.

Looks a little too awkward for me, but I haven't played a real RPG since.....Well, "Morrowind".

Now there was an RPG.

Christ I loved making new magick spells and enhancinh my character's abilities while I slept.

I had this one trick where I'd go in a house, and position myself facing a wall, and then tie a hair tie around the joystick, keeping in in the "forward" direction.

Then I'd goto sleep, and when I'd wake up, my character's agility would be up like 50 points a pop.

**sigh**

Good times.

lmfao,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:alcoholic

PS2 had the most(that I know of) and best games for any console. Mine got the disc read error and I had to get it fixed but it had so many games.

GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas
Madden
Fight Night Round 2
NBA 2K series
Resident Evil
Final Fantasy

I used the Gamecube for my adventure ****. Zelda, Mario, etc...Super Smash Bros...

360's are just upgraded Terminator's, sent from the future to kill off the children of the rebellion.

In other words Bringer, update*****.

Can't you afford a PS3 then? :spank:

Bringer makes more money impaling & drawing on teenagers, than you do cleaning windows.

ps2 is the SH*T... although all i play now is ps3... but still, it is my FAV OF ALL TIME.... and i started gaming on NES... (actually a little kalecovision [sp])

and the damn thing still sells mad in asia... its STILL selling over 100k a month....which is f*cking amazing considering it came out, what 9 years ago? over 137mil sold!

You're just jealous because i get more money than you.

You're just jealous because i get more money than you.

I am Internet Gangster, therefore have more money than all.

im gonna play all the games i skipped over before getting a ps3....

good games ive played recently: bully, metal gear solid 2 and god of war (both a bit overrated), psychonauts, sands of time, indigo prophecy, freedom fighters...

condsidering my PS3 plays the ps2 games, I obviously must rank it higher. PS2 has a great ****ing catalog though.

You bastard.

I'm getting Persona 4 soon. Theres alot of rpgs I didnt play for the PS2.

So what's the verdict? Did you like it?

I bought it, looks awesome as hell.

Popped it in, and the prick was too scratched to play without freezing up and "buffering" every 40 seconds or so.

Took it back, they didn't have another copy. So I got my money back, and I'm checking online almost every day for a new copy to arrive.

**** looked boss, too. Last thing I remember was 2 giant monsters appeared on my way towards the mega monster that appeared in the middle of the City and put the beatdown on me.

Can't you afford a PS3 then? :spank:

I can afford one, I just don't want one. The only exclusives on it I'm interested in are MGS4, GOW3, and Yakuza 3.

I don't feel like paying that much just to play 3 games.

I'm not into Madden, I hate football.

I hate FPS games, so I won't be playing any of those.

Gran Turismo never interested me.

And the rest of the games I want are either 360 exclusives, or also available on the 360.

The only problem is that those things are about as reliable as Shaq at the free throw line.

Time to break out the printing press..... no, wait, It's the 21st Century, I've got a desktop PC.

Bringer, yer a slag.
