I was playing Gradius V the other day and decided definitively that it is the best game on the ps2.

This should come out on XBLA.

As should every shmup ever created.

I'd buy a joystick. Might end up wanting it for VF5 anyway. Shit, I already want one for a few XBLA arcade games.

Actually, I used to play Ikaruga on Gamecube with the control stick...was that bad?

Nope.

only one of those is an rpg.

You must approve affirmative action, Billy. The third option was for PD. That's two choices made JUST for certain black people.

Gradius V is amazing, Im sure I can think of a PS2 game I like better, though. DMC3 and God Hand are superior IMO, although they are different types of games. Apples and Oranges!

The Sceneman · « **Reply #10 on:** October 24, 2007, 07:56:47 PM »

considering PD has 'given up gaming', it doesnt seem to stop him jumping into threads and saying 'why are people interested in this?'

Himu · « **Reply #11 on:** October 24, 2007, 07:58:44 PM »

NOPE!

ps billy: my favorite ps2 game isn't even an rpg. fail

Your shameful pimping of Persona 3 has made your entire taste suspect, even towards good games.

I know you're just teasing. You can quit the act now and start the love.

He asked me that when I showed him the Brutal Legend trailer.

demi · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2007, 08:12:08 PM »

Well he has a point, Himuro, why are people interested in that?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2007, 08:13:26 PM »

hey says it for every fucking upcoming game thread he posts in, or 'Im not really interested in this, doesnt look good' yeah no shit you dont play games. I mean videogames arent everyones cup of tea, sure. But why does he post on gaming forums then?

As much as I love God Hand and Metal Gear, i don't think they are up to par with the other games you mentioned Himu.

I think MGS3S deserves a mention. I loved MGS3, but MGS3S is a fucking amazing rerelease.

i'm not sure it's my absolute favorite ps2 game, but it's awesome enough that i'll provisionally say it is. i played it a lot this summer. its style is pretty unique -- just the sheer amount of onscreen non-bullet chaos -- can't think of anything to compare it to

drohne · « **Reply #19 on:** October 24, 2007, 09:06:04 PM »

i agree -- though personally i've never been that crazy about silvergun or ikaruga

Well, to tell you the truth I prefer ESPGaluda. Gradius V is fantastic but it tends to run on for a bit long (and I hate the damn level with all that green poison gas), making it less on the "pick up and play" side of things than I like for a shooter. My favorite PS2 games are DQ8 and Rez.

yeah but there is a lot of humour around pimping dogshit software

drohne · « **Reply #25 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:34:43 PM »

for a second i thought you were calling gradius v dogshit and i was like

but now i realize you're talking about sotc and i'm like...uh, i'm not seeing a smiley expressing agreement here, so i'll just go with this classic :sp0rsk1

Oblivion · « **Reply #26 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:37:44 PM »

Yeah, I was kidding, but I thought I'd just seem serious just to get some reactions.

I don't have much trouble at all with level 5 until you come face to face with the boss... then the whole of level 6 is such a pain in the ass, ending with an ass-raping boss gauntlet. Halfway through level 7 it seems the difficulty completely drops and the rest of the game is a cakewalk.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #29 on:** October 25, 2007, 04:58:52 PM »

gradius v is better than the entire gamepube library combined, but is it my favorite ps2 game? dunno but it is definitely top 5.

Gradius V is so sex, and so cheap, buy it today!

Prost · « **Reply #32 on:** October 26, 2007, 05:46:42 AM »

gradius V is fucking awesome, period!

I played that an ikaruga for a while and decided ikaruga was definitely more fun because of its unique challenge, but shorter. Gradius 5 is easier and longer. plus i like the "end boss is easiest boss" weird thing they always do in the gradius games.
