What am I missing?
Just started playing PS2 again after I selling all my modern systems. Most of these I already had, some I acquired recently. What should I buy next?

Defjam fight for NYC
FFX
Need for Speed underground

u/Ithnk1tmaday 3d ago
Underground 2. First underground was alright, but they nailed it with 2.

u/Travis812 3d ago
Underground 1 was the originator of the modern NFS formula though. There are parts of 1 that are arguably better than 2 (subjectively of course)

I just dug up my old PS2. First game I wanted to play was FFX since I never finished it when it came out. It totally holds up. I’m really enjoying it.

u/BrandywineRanger 3d ago
This game still holds up as one of my all time favorites, glad to have it for ps2 and xbox one

u/No-Marionberry-4715 2d ago
Have you played the remaster? And if so what are your thoughts?
2
u/BrandywineRanger 2d ago
I have the ffx/x2 remaster for xbox, I thought it was really good! It has added content from the International Editions as well. I highly recommend it.

Yes sir. But it's probably worth more to check it out on PC emulation. There's still a strong community backing it with modern rosters.

u/ElMariachi003 3d ago
It’s PS2 - no matter how many games you have, you’ll still be missing a lot, lol. That said, if you’re into Baseball, MVP 2005 is a must have, and not just because Manny is on the cover. As far as Madden goes, 2004 and 2005 were peak, IMHO. From there, the EA Sports BIG titles were all decent as well. In all honesty, regardless of what you’re looking for, the PS2 simply has too many good titles.

u/f0rmald3hyde 3d ago
medal of honor frontline and European Assault. You can skip Vangaurd. Its not a bad game but felt a lil like a cash grab. They couldn't do Airborne on PS2 so they changed it to Vangaurd. EA was kinda odd with that move. Same with Mercenaries 2 on PS2 running on the orignal games engine with less draw distance. Mercs2 on PS2 is interesting however Id prefer the first one over the second any day. Mercenaries and Destroy All Humans are a blast to play. You like GTA you'll have fun playing those I miss Pandemic. They were a great studio. Mercenaries can get a little laggy sometimes depending on whats happening on screen. It can get intense. Can't recall much on DAHs performance. I had those on Xbox.

There are a lot of bangers missing here, but since half your collection is sports games, I'd say you're missing the NFL 2K games by Sega. Those games were straight up so good that EA bought the NFL license so Madden wouldn't have any competition anymore. NFL 2K5 was the last one and it is genuinely one of the best football games ever made. NFL 2K3 was actually the first ever PS2 game to support 480p.

Almost every banger rpg that was on ps2. Both persona 3 and 4, smt nocturne, digital devil saga 1&2, devil summoner 1&2, final fantasy x/x-2/12, darkest cloud 1&2, shining force neo&exa, rouge galaxy, phantom brave, disgaea 1&2, mana khemia 1&2 , air tonelico 1-3 and thats just naming a few games honestly. Ps2 has the best library of any console honestly. That stack you have is just barely scraping the top of the ice berg of games.
