Just Got a PS2

Recommended Posts

NCAA Football 2004 - I'm hyping myself up for this by playing 2003. 2004 is going to be awesome. I am preparing for the hours of online time I will spend entering the rosters into the game.

Damn straight.

 

You know there's going to be USB keyboard support for the rosters...

Wow, Arc 4 is now the best (English) PS2 RPG. I highly reccomend it.

RPGs-Kingdom Hearts, FFX, Dark Cloud 2. Suikoden III's pretty good too.

 

Action- Devil May Cry (NOT DMC2) Contra: scattered soldier (hard as balls tho). I guess GTA3, but I hate it. At the top of the list has to be the Awesome Dynasty Warriors 4. A grudging reccomendation to Metal Gear Solid 2, which is worse than 1, but gorgeous. THe

new virtual missions should make things much more fun.

Sports; SSX, SSX Tricky, Tony Hawk (duh) Madden

 

Rhythm-Frequency (better than the sequel, IMO) Gitaroo man!

 

Fighting-Tekken Tag&4, Marvel v Capcom 2, Virtua Fighter.

 

Art games (fun to show your friends and play around w/ for a while)-ICO, Rez

 

Driving-well, Twisted metal black, Gran Turismo's great if it's you bag (it ain't mine) Wipeout.

Me too. I put that it's 'pretty good' since it's a fun game, but Suikoden 2's probably #4 on my all-time RPG list, and SUikoden is probably number 6 or 7. Suikoden 3 is a pale imitation, but a pretty good game nonetheless.

 

BTW SO3, since you seem to like somewhat undeer-the-radar RPGs, you ever play Valkyrie Profile? It's great.

I consider myself pretty good at action games, but ita was a decent challenge to beat it on easy. Divide by three your number of lives, give 3 continues instead of 99, ramp up the difficulty a little bit (I think certain guys shoot faster, and others take a couple more hits) and then add 2-3 levels (So I've been told, I'm not hard core enough to get there.) And you've got your MEDIUM difficulty.

Where the hell can you find a copy of Rez? I've wanted to try that?

 

Isn't that the game with the Japanese Vibrator periphreal?

Valkyrie Profile is one of my favorite RPGs. I really like that tri-Ace decided to do something different in making this game, and the battles just blow away practically every other RPG's gameplay. There's also a sequel confirmed for sometime in the future. I don't want to give anything away, but Valkryie Profile's world is part of a familiar universe...

YES! VP sequel! You just made my day. I agree on the battle system, it was ALWAYS a joy to play, which is saying something since the last few dungeons had really long fights. Let's hope they don't change it.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty is the greatest video game I've every played. No Playstation owner should be without that game within their library.

 

In fact, just get Substance, as it is the same game only with about another billion added extras.

Just picked up SYM, & HOLY SHIT, it's good. way better than i expected. already beaten the season thing twice in 2 days, since it's fucking addictive. Anyone know where i can find a CAW "clones" list so i can make real guys look like who they're supposed to look like?

 

MGS2 is most likely the next one i'll get (after picking up another memory card). It comes down to that or Evil Dead, & currently MGS is winning based on the feedback & the fact it looks spec-fucking-tacular.

 

Is The Sims any good for PS2? i've played the Gamecube one, & was kinda disapointed, compared to the PC ones. But i did make Flair, so it;'s all good. But is it any better/worse on PS2?

Evil Dead: FoBS is a good rental, lousy buy. trust me on that. I'm about as big an evil dead fan as you'll find, but evem campbell's one liners are off, and he's phoning it in (which is presumedly one of the big selling points.) The action is fun for a little bit, but gets ultra-repetitive.

 

 

And off topic, if you don't have Castlevania, Sumphony of the Night, pick it up. It's a PS1 game, it's cheap, and it's one of the few games I'd rate near-flawless. It's 2D, but it's so great looking it still holds up today. It's a metroid style game, BTW.

You said "it's 2D" like that's a bad thing. :P

 

And it doesn't come cheap these days, my friend. But definitely get it if you don't own it.

Hey, some people whine if a game isn't 3-D nowadays.

 

On price it seems to be going for $25 bucks on eBay, which IS expensive for a greatest hits game. I got it for $10 with the first Abe game 2 years ago.

Just got GTA3 & am kinda hung up on one mission ("Cutting the Grass"), but other than that it kicks ass, much moreso than the PC version, i think. i'm officially starting a VC fund, because murder & flocks of seagulls demand it.

 

How good is 007: Agent Under Fire? is it like Goldeneye-good or Tomorrow Never Dies-bad?

Neither. It's just kinda average run of the mill stuff. It was entertaining enough that I played through it twice, but it's not that long.
