Good PS2 Games

I have never had a PS2 and im going to be buying one soon any game recommendations for a first timer?

Off the top of my head,

Final Fantasy X/XII
Shadow of the Colossus
Silent Hill 2
Persona 4
God of War 1/2
GTA San Andreas
Battle for Bikini Bottom
Metal Gear Solid 3
Kingdom Hearts 1/2 (for your inner weeb)

If you don't have scruples, mod your PS2 so you can just pirate everything

Drakengard 2 is the best game on the PS2.

Thanks for the response senpai

here you go

Front Mission 4 and 5. However, seriously, you should just get a good desktop PC and emulate PS2 games on it, since PCSX2 works great.

damn thanks

This.

Shadow of rome is pretty great, like the best, Gore ,stealth good story and rome setting

PS2 has a lot of everything you would ever want. What kinds of games do you play?

>mod the ps2
>pirate with it

tell me more, I just buy things from amazon right now

Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
Ace Combat 0: The Belkan War

wew lad

Play Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and thank me later

Jak and Daxter 1-3
Jak X
Burnout Revenge
Need for Speed Underground 2
Ratchet and Clank 1-3
GTA Vice City
Final Fantasy X and X-2
Tekken 4
Shadow of Memories
The Warriors
SSX On Tour
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven
Canis Canem Edit/Bully

These are the games I would recommend most highly but there are so many more

Ratchet and Clank 3

Predator: Concrete Jungle

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

What's the reasoning behind playing GTA on console?

>No Syphon Filter
>No Path of Neo

How the fuck do you mod a PS2?

It's more authentic? If he didn't just buy a PS2 I'd recommend emulating everything on PC and upscaling it to 1080p

There are chips that allow you to use DVDs that you burn yourself
Or you can get a fat PS2, and play games without even using DVDs, though I'm not familiar with that one

Get Primal. It's fantastic.
Also Warrior Within.

You can also softmod the memory card. There are guides out there.

Much like the consoles themselves, you need a higher resolution.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they don't like the PS2 Ace Combats. Definitely worth a shot.
Armored Core is another great series to try, more niche though. If you decide to try it out Armored Core 3 or Nexus would probably be the best places to start.

>tfw I have all these games on my shelf

Dark cloud series is pretty good. Play the second one if you're only going to try one of them

Holy fuck how did I never saw that pic posted before.
Gonna emulate a few of those.
>tfw had a PS2 for over 10 years and theres still games worth playing

Simpsons Road Rage
Simpsons Hit and Run

First is a crazy taxi clone and the second is a mission based, GTA-lite. Both total classics

look up free mcboot and free hdboot
