Project PS2

[The NZA]

ok, so here's the thing: i gots no $. I had to sell my PS2 to make rent last year, and even then, i managed to get ripped off on it, sadly. If it wasnt for SB's genorosity lending me some gamecube games earlier this year (comin back in a wee bit, honest injun), i woudlntve played shit this year.

 

So, I got the next week or 2 of some vacation, before crazy shit like moving, roadtrip with , paramedic courses next semester, etc. and I realize...i missed out a lotta great games, last year or so, not havin a PS2. WhoDey, that he is, is lending me his whilst he's outta town, on the conditon that i play GTA: San Andreas...yeah, he's twisitng my arm here.

 

Now, i like finishing games i start, when i can. But here's the thing...again, only 2 weeks, and a lotta games need playing, many of them, completion. Here they be:

 

Xenosaga 2

Metal Gear Solid 3

(these 2, im gonna try to bum offa Bishop, if he'll let me, and i have to finish them. I have to. I fucking love these series, and when screenshots of the next sequels - finales, possibly for both - start showing up, i know im behind).

 

games i want to play a while, not necessarily beat:

 

GTA: San Andreas

God of War

That, uhm, kata darcy something? one where you roll around in a ball collecting the world....might have to rent it if i cant find it, looks like fun tho. Im a sucker for innovative shit, big fan of PaRappa. goddammit, i mean this game

 

so yeah, this thread is here to a) show Bishop that my vacation partly rests in his hands, and b) ask fellow hondonians what other PS2 games i should at least try out during this window of time. I just found some chick who knows how to rent games & burn them to the PS2 drive, which is awesome. And speaking of girls, if this plan doesnt happen, im gonna spend the next 2 weeks doing dumb things like getitng laid instead, and we all know that leads to me being really relaxed, and possibly infected/having babies. So yeah, what else did i miss out on without a playstatoin in '04/05?

 

the fucking ironic thing is that im holding out for a ps3 i also wont be able to afford, whilst my older brother, who hasnt played games since genesis, is pparently gettin a ps2 for christmas i got his sega master system back in '86 by waiting six months till he got bored of it, i figure that plan may again work 20 years later.

Xenosaga 2 skip it good to look at but sloppy gameplay

 

God of War play it till the the end you'll have fun

 

Katamari Damacy if you fucking call me you ass I'll give you both games to enjoy

You just gotta love karma.

Yeah God of War, definately, I also enjoyed The Shadow of the Colossus. Play those Nick...both are bad ass games. And buy your ass another PS2, they are down to 99 bucks at gamestop.

[Newtype]

You do know that I have over a hundred game's. I'm sure I have something you might want to play. Mostly PS1, PS2, and Gamecube game's. You don't have a gameboy or a DS so let's make it about 85 game's for you to choose from.

[The NZA]

MM - havin fun with God of War, ill try for Collossus, dont know tho....and yeah, i should, but im kinda holdin out for PS3.

 

newtype - thanks man, ill hold you to that. ive been puttin in extra hours at work and kinda dissapearing over my break here, sorry i havnet called back yet, but will this week man. Bishop just lent me MGS 3, Xenosaga 2 (you know i gots to play it regardless), and that one i cant pronounce right. So i envision being home a lot now, when were not gettin ready to move.

IGN just ran a top 25 PS2 game list, and like much from IGN, i dont agree with parts of it, thought id see where others stood. Here's the top 10, then my qualms:

 

10) Burnout 3: Takedown

9) Twisted Metal: Black

8) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

7) Guitar Hero

6) ICO

5) Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

4) Shadow of the Colossus

3) Final Fantasy X

2) Grand Theft Auto III

1) God of War

 

Mind you, theyre rating based on what theyve influenced and such, but even so...im not touching Burnout, Twisted Metal or other games i havent really played.

 

1) Suikoden III at # 24? V was infinitely better, and got nothing here. Its not a recent release either, mind you.

2) Okami should be higher up, RE4 as well.

3) The biggest problem with their top 5...FF X? Not XII? Mebbe its too recent...but God of War? Are you kidding? Its a good game, no doubt, but what does it do that Onimusha, Devil May Cry etc didnt do before...? At least the Gamecube one went a bit better.

[Ganny McVagflaps]

I have GTA: SA but sadly the rating on the cover is wrong, it should've read AO not M so I'd feel awful sending you such filth.

 

In other news Def Jam: Fight for New York is the best worst game ever (think Rocky Balboa in convinient vidjogaaam form), you know you want it. Hit me up for a chat, your biggest fan, this is Stan.
