Title: Recommend me some ps2 games. I will buy them.
Post by: Vizzys on May 21, 2007, 03:16:59 AM
I have come upon a large sum of money.

Name some games and give me a sentence long reason why I should spend said my money on them.

I like everything but bad animu. I may or may not insult your choices. Mention xenosaga for instance and prepare fer lolz.

I already have:
DDS 1/2
God Of War 1/2
MMX Collection
Valkyrie Profile 2
Soul Calibur 2/3
FFX/12
and some others I cant remember. Either way, I'm missing many good games.

"***** ownz" isnt a very good reason

Devil may cry I have yet to play and I will probably get. I hear 3 is the best, would it be ok to start at three or should I get them all?

I had kingdom hearts for a while and have yet to play 2 but what I saw from it looked better.

Not a big breath of fire fan. Everyone loves dragon quest :bow

Metal gear solid 2 is on my list of shit games to avoid. 3 I have not played

Dragon Quarter is completely different from the others. Best I can describe it is like Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve. But the game forces you to restart at the beginning a lot -- it was done by the same people behind Dead Rising, kinda.

Dragon Quest is extremely retro, you played one you played them all.

Devil May Cry 3 is a prequel to 1, which is a prequel to 2. Just play 1, then 3. Avoid 2.

Kingdom Hearts is amazing, but make sure you play 1 before you touch 2, mostly for story purposes and the fact that 2 destroys 1. You could play Chain of Memories, which is like Kingdom Hearts 1.5, or you could just read a plot summary.

It's God Hand. That's reason enough to get it.

yeah I remember getting to the end of kingdom hearts and seeing people play 2. I heard kh2 final mix has a 3d chain of memories remake, too bad that probably wont be getting an English release. Tried the rom and didnt feel it

I dont remember playing any dragon quest but some black and white ones on gameboy but I love olde school jrpgs.

Godhand and Okami are both really good.

Godhand is great brawler with a great awesome fighting mechanic of changing your move sets. its challenging like how viewtiful joe was, and its campy as hell. the game is not cheap, you have to learn how to play better. its a great challenge. its got problems but they can be overlooked easily.

Okami is beautiful and so far its pretty much zelda on ps2. So if you like zelda you should like Okami.

Odin Sphere and Persona 3 are coming out soon.

You should also get Metal Slug Anthology if you like those games.

Dragon Quest 8 is probably the most accessible Dragon Quest, the difficulty is just right, no need for excess grinding.

Post by: Vizzys on May 21, 2007, 03:56:42 AM
having not played persona 2 G would I be lost at all in p3?

okami looks long and boring. I dislike zelda 3d. I'll look into god hand, haven't played many 3d brawlers. Metal slug is cool but I suck hard at them, plus romz are free.

Ive also watched people play dragon quest 8, its looks great. Probably get that.

Ill make a list soon

Okami is like the gbc zelda games to me. but its still a 3d game.

Im playing Timesplitters Future Perfect right now and its really cool. God Hand is fucking amazing and is well worth a look especially if you find it cheap.

Silent Hill games are worth checking out if youre into that sort of thing (survival horror lolz)

Ok so today I got devil may cry 3 and kingdom hearts 2 in the mail.

DMC is really impressive. Not sure why I skipped playing this series but I'm loving it thus far. Impressive intro, cool gameplay, definite win thus far. :rock

Havent played kh2 yet, I hear the intro is boring though

Ill be buying two more games soon...

I never once had to restart at the beginning of Dragon Quarter. The folks who had to do that are weaksauce.

No. P1 and P2 are unrelated as well.

There's too many good ps2 games to suggest. I have almost 70 ps2 games. What genres do you like?

Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter is the best PS2 RPG bar none. Don't listen to anyone else, that game is amazing. I'll admit I didn't "get it" until right near the end of my first play through, but when it clicked, wow. And the second time through was just great. Probably the only RPG I've played that gets better each time.

And each play through is a very nice 15-20 hours or less, which is great. Long RPGs FTL.

Dragon Quarter is definitely the best ps2 rpg. The only thing I can imagine topping it is maybe Persona 3.
