PS2 Thread

I don't remember, but Onimusha was among the first few.
See above
Final Fantasy X-2.
Xenosaga II. Most shit on it for being different and fail to acknowledge the numerous improvements it had over the first and even the third game.
See above. Took a break from it, though. Reached my favorite part and wanted to wait a bit before jumping into it. I'm playing Ratchet and Clank on and off and Hot Shots Golf Fore.
The Xbox had plenty of good games, and the Gamecube had a smaller but still good game selection. There's not that much I really like on the Gamecube, but the few that I do, I like quite a lot. Nothing to really miss unless you're a JRPG fan. I'm more bummed that I never had an Xbox as a kid.


No point unless you're just going for low noise. You will see not see any of the speeds that you should get with an SSD.

Even if you stick a SSD in it some games have hardcoded loading screens, or they break if read speeds are wrong. The rest are open world.
It's useless to stick a SSD in a ps2.

Grand Theft Auto 3
Metal Gear Solid 2, also my first MGS game.
TimeSplitters
Shadow of Rome? If not that, then the Lord of the Rings game that was based on the book. That shit was good and some of the few media that isn't related to the movies. The LOTR game predated Peter Jacksons films, so it offered a unique interpretation of the books.
None, eh, Persona 4.
No. I had a GameCube first, Xbox second and then I was introduced to the wonderful world of PS2 after the PS3 was released. First games I bought aside from MGS were Soul Calibur III and Shadow of Rome.

I got MGS2 through Goozex, anybody remember that? Goozex was that online game trading site where you could ship people your games if they got enough points via trading their games. It was pretty awesome, got some games in damn good condition. It had a great community too.

Halo and Fable were awesome at the time. Not to mention you could edit maps the best in TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect.
PS2 had the right of getting ALL songs from TimeSplitters in the subsequent releases of the game. TS2 and FP on the Xbox and GC didn't get all the original TimeSplitters music.

Never used it, but I think there was a slip of how many points that was worth in the case when I got my copy of Steambot Chronicles. Hadn't heard of it before then to be honest, but then again, I didn't have access to a lot of games back in sixth gen anyhow (and if they were, say, PS2 or Xbox focused, I didn't have either back then to begin with).

Why? Goybox had a shitty library of games.

I don't think I ever bought a ps2 game.
When I discovered the "yank disc out while the game boots and put in your pirated shit" I started pirating games and using a demo disc as the legitimate ps2 game required for that method.

That's total nonsense.

xbots had some sega games, tecmo games, multiplats, dudebro shit, and that was pretty much it

I was more concerned about heat, as I had a recent issue with my multiple hard drives in my primary desktop having heat issues, resolved with a front-mounted intake fan to cool them about TEN DEGREES CELSIUS, JESUS CHRIST. Either way, it's kinda' pie in the sky until all of the pieces come together. Not sure about which actual adapter to buy, either. Sold one I had years ago because I never used it.
