been slowly growing my ps2 collection for a little over a year and i'm pretty proud of what i've been able to collect so far. my goal is to get a curated library of games that i actually care about, and i've checked most of my boxes tbh. once i graduate and i get the job i've been training for, i should be able to complete my collection pretty quickly and move on to ps1 and gamecube

(feel free to ignore the blurays, ps3, and ps4 games)

One of the best games for the PS2. It's second for me first will always be Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 but this is still an amazing, classic game that's deserving of all the praise it gets! Truly a game that deserves a remaster!

What games are best experienced on PS2 original hardware and a CRT?

9 Upvotes

Howdy yall. Just picked up a fat PS2 recently and will be looking to try some games out on in that I missed from my childhood. I will pretty much play any genre. I am however one of those nerds who always looks for the "definitive" or "best" way to play a game. I have access to a PC and several consoles so I likely can get access to the "best" way to play any given game.

With a large amount of the library having ports, remasters and remakes, I'm curious, what are some of yalls picks for the games best experienced on an actually PS2 with a CRT?

Best Games That Haven’t Been Remastered/Remade?

11 Upvotes

Hey all, I just got a PS2 and I’m really looking forward to experiencing it AND the PS1’s library but I’m just curious what some of the actual must plays are? Sonys been pretty good with remastering and remaking their old games but I know these aren’t all perfect but a lot of them are a LOT cheaper than their original versions (looking at you silent hill 2). Im just curious which games are the best and also worth playing over the remakes and vice versa. Let me know what you think!

Do you know why there are no used copies of *Rule of Rose* available? On auction sites, I only see new games still in their plastic wrap. Are they genuine?

3 more unfinished PlayStation 2 games finally beaten! 528 games played, 487 games beaten!

I now spend my Saturday streams playing games that are still in progress or were never actually finished properly. So, being able to tick three more off that list is amazing!

Game #103 - The Sims - Beaten!

Yup, the console version of The Sims has a story mode. They call it "Get a Life," and the aim is to finally move out of your mum's house, all the way to retirement, with so much in between—such as a family and kids. This game is no joke, though; I found it to be ridiculously tough, which is why it's taken so long to beat. But seeing that final cutscene and watching the credits roll was amazingly satisfying!

Game #73 - Arcade USA - Beaten!

This was something I thought was just a "play once and put aside" title. Well, many years later, I was told there are actually credits for it, so I made sure to replay it properly. This game is super tough. There were moments where keeping up with the AI in the air hockey game got so insane that I worried I was never going to beat the final opponent, Ed, but I did! After that, I moved onto bowling, which was much easier... until I reached Ed again and the game itself was against me. The arrow in the final match is off-centre or something, so trying to aim became stupidly hard. I think it was on my 30+ attempt that I was finally able to beat Ed at bowling and get the credits!

Game #142 - Super Bust-A-Move - Beaten!

Now, this is basically Puzzle Bobble, but renamed for the PAL region. This was another one that, for one reason or another, I just never finished properly. But I was able to focus plenty of time on this, get through to the end, and get those beautiful credits! Some puzzles were tough, and I really had to attempt a few of them multiple times... but in the end, it was just a fun, cozy time!

I've been doing this now in my spare time for over 12 years, so some games either get put aside or I just forget about them. I'm glad I can get back to these titles, bring down the "in progress" count, move forward with new titles, and keep aiming towards the goal of beating every single PS2 game!
