PS2 has one of the best libraries of any console.
In my opinion nothing comes close to the PS2. It's library was unfathomably diverse. My favourite games released one PS1 however.
@@upon-fe2720 PS1 had some library also and had the beginning of many great game series.
Easily the best
it IS the best library of any console.
Some of the best games of all time for sure. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Zone of The Enders, Zone of The Enders 2: The 2nd Runner, Tekken 4, Hitman 2, Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, Shinobi, and so on, and so on… Too many to list. Truly a great era.
Old games are better.
Always
100%
Yep 100%
It’s that simple
Not just cus of nostalgia but just everyone was more creative back then when creating games
You own those games
You can take your ps2 and your games on a house boat in the middle of the ocean and you can play them
Full game on the disc just perfect
why would you want to
@@johndank2209 wasn’t the point bro 😂
exactly! my parents' house doesn't have WiFi so the ps2, 3ds, and Switch are my friends. my ps4 and ps5 need sometimes 1hr to be ready to play a game😅

I hooked up my PS2 which had been dormant for over ten years. It turned on flawlessly. No network update nonsense. Just loaded a disc and good to go! Love it!
Same here my friend… I’ve been rocking the PS1, PS2 & PS3 a lot lately in 2024. And simply having a great time. Happy Gaming Everyone 😎.
PS1 and PS2 Classics every year! Cant wait for Smartphones to be able to run PS3 as well.
happy gaming my niqqa
@@Nebujin383Awesome… 😎
@@Kizzy_BThanks 😎
yo, i got PS1, PS2, PS3, XBOX, 360, WII, WII U NES MINI and SNES MINI all hooked up to my tv with an O.S.S.C. so i get all that in HD. og XBOX modded to house the entire north american library. and plans to mod my WII this year with similar intent. 4k oled t.v. and video game character action figures, still in box, hanging all over my walls. gaming peaked at PS2 and the surrounding gens.
I still play my PS2 also, I've never stopped and it's never been unplugged. There was so much variety and content within games which we just don't get anymore. These days 90% of games feel copy pasted and stale, like I've already played the game 10 times. On the PS2 everything is different, developers weren't afraid to try new things or be a little different, that's one of the things that makes the PS2 era so great. It just never gets old.
Ps2 was freaking awesome
Same I'm still playing my ps2 the wrestling games, RPGs and racing games were incredible
Game devs take so much features out of games. From older titles it’s ridiculous. I had a Xbox and ps2
The games today are just as good.
I feel the same way about all consoles from that era (Nintendo and Microsoft included). Way more variety.
I am a fossil of 44 years and have been gaming since 1985 when I was 5, and I have to say without a shadow of a doubt that the PS2 is my favorite console of all time. I still to this day play PS2 games with an emulator on my PC as to preserve my console. Many great memories I have had gaming on it. Also the fact that it was backwards compatible with the PS1 meant I could still play my two favorite games of that era. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Anyway great video.
If you ever want the real thing again (or need to) highly recommend softmodding PS2, will keep your drive alive + load quicker.
@@HDbacon Thanks for letting me know. I'll do some research.
@Nolimit_Lou look up mrmario2011. I've followed a few if his tutorials, worked everytime and he takes it at a good pace.
Cheers bro, 1981 says hi. Similar story.
personally, big pros of emulator is save/load states. I don't want to use cheat but i don't want to replay all parts of long mission. I just want to replay from part 2 or part 3 of that long mission.
That orange atmosphere in GTA SA on PS2. 👌
Early 2000s Filter.
PS2 Is a timeless masterpiece of a console and even i am about to buy one again after more than 10 years when i last had a PS2 slim
I got like x12 ps2s last month and x1 brand new off ebay changed old pads and cleaned all of them
@@obidahasdia4095Nice. I did same thing with PS1 a little while back, and grabbed bunch of classics I loved back then.. Moving on to PS2 now. I have console, but it's little beat up, still plays though.. Just need PS3 and I'll have all consoles lol.. You gotta love it

Its very satisfying to see your physical collection of games in immaculate glossy condition.
The PS2 Emulator on the PC is a godsend, get to upscale the resolution up to 8k res removing the pixilation completely, 60 fps patches, and HD texture replacements the community has made, almost like small remasters that you can do, extreme nostalgia in HD haha.
I am both jealous and envious of you. Could never figure out any emulators for consoles that required CD-Rom.
There's plenty of youtube tutorials you can watch and some provide links in the description of what you need to get it set up, most emulators are pretty dependent on your PC's hardware I don't think the PS2 one has very high requirements, and not all of the games work flawlessly, but I'd def give it a few more tries, you can actually download the entire library of PS2 Games online(google ps2 iso) without needing a CD player but you can also just pop in your PS2 disc and the emulator will pick it up, all the emulator needs is a BIOS and you can get one online for e.g, the one I use is PCSX2, if you follow a tutorial to get PCSX2 to the tee you should be good to go in no time, goodluck! @@_Prebound
What is the software for the emulator?
@@rsetha01Pcsx2
I use PCSX2, should be quite a few youtube videos on how to set it up.@@rsetha01
The PS2 is a cultural thing in Brazil, it was so famous Sony decided to officially launch it there in 2009, nine years after it's debut.
The PlayStation 2 is the one system I never stopped playing. The damn thing pretty much saved my life as a kid. I'm still playing new games on it. Playing through Red Faction at the moment. It's pretty fun. If you happen to have an older CRT with component inputs, HDRetrovision makes an amazing set of cables. I highly recommend them. Glad to see I'm not the only one playing older Sony consoles in 2024.
I’m using the LevelHike HDMI adapter upscaling to 720p. Then into the Mclassic adapter, doing a nice antialiasing and then upscaling it all the way up to 1440P on a AOC 32” curve monitor… Looks great 😎.
@@ICZERZERO3000 At that point may as well use PCSX2 aye?
Red faction was my very first game I had on ps2 and was an awesome introduction to that console , didn't care much for the sequels though
@@ghost_tom_joad8530 Yeah I hear you 👍
Jerking off his crt and added cable talk on top of it, so many of these people lol. If you have the console, a game and a way to view it, that's enough.
PS2 will never go out of style! 😊
Same! And also so much for people (especially trolls) who tell me i'm "stuck in the past" 😂 just because someone still plays PS2 in 2024 and so much for idiots telling me "That's sad" just because i simply said "I still play PS2 all the time. 🤦♂️"
Oh you want sad, Go crying to your mommy about it you crybabies.
And this is why i say fuck modern gaming, fuck the modern world, fuck the soulless corporate mindset of the modern internet, fuck PS5's and so on and i'm glad i destroyed my copies of WWE 2K by lighting them on fire. PS2 4 life baby!
Reasons why i'll always play PS2 and will NEVER EVER move on to PS5 for so many reasons and oh god i can go on and write a book about on how i like PS2 better than modern consoles and how my PS4 caused me so much trouble with crashing, having to delete shit just to free up space and so on, 1. The games start quickly and don't crash to the home screen ever.
2. The console itself boots in a matter of seconds, the whole experience is just great.
3. No system updates that break shit, no buggy OS, no buggy games like the 2K garbage, it just works.
4. And the damn thing only had around 40 MB of memory, yet it still works better than its newer counterparts.
5. No dumbass microtransactions
6. No toxic online people
7. Having GTA games that actually treat you right and doesn't have overly-sensitive NPC's that call the cops for every single little thing/mistake you do like in GTA 5 and so on.

My parents bought me a ps2 when i was 5, im 26 now and just bought a ps2 again and ive been loving the games i played as a kid all over again.
I will still play, buy & collect all of my childhood/teen games. No matter what decade we're in ❤💯

@@shorts26 Nice! 🔥🔥, I'm really thinking about getting me a 3 again cause I miss mines badly lol.
@timthomas598 yeah I'm glad I did I was thinking about it for a while and hopefully it lasts long but it's already worth it to me I've been adding all my favorite ps games I'm probably gonna have to get an external and I like that all the games don't take up as much space by a Longshot and ps3 online is free
PS2 and Dreamcast are superb consoles with amazing games that I still play.
Not Dreamcast
@@selfishstockton6123its an amazing console. Just a poor library overall as only has about 20 or less quality titles.
@@CragusMaximus Agreed, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone, Sonic Adventure 2, Jet Set Radio, Illbleed, and D2 are all great but yeah... limited library for sure.
@@Travybear1989 Power stone and Toy Commander!

@@Swam0811 oh for sure 👍👍
and then PS0@@aleksanderbrycki4258
A good game is like good music. Never gets old.
Great video man. Found my old PS2 while cleaning the attic. Plugged it in and played some last night! It was great!
Its nice knowing there are others like me out there still enjoying these older systems because if i didn't go back to playing my PS2/3 and GameCube 1-2 years ago I honestly would've retired from gaming. It really reminded me why I fell in love with gaming in the 1st place
The algorithm knows. I literally took a break from playing Onimusha 3 on my PS2 and this video magically pops up.
Is it the best of the series? Is their a difficulty option? Id love to play the main 3 . Never have but wanting to dive in
@@CragusMaximus
Onimusha 2 is the best in my opinion, and yes there are difficulty settings.
I think 1 is the best lol
Still has that horror Atmossphere like a Resident Evil game.
I like Samanosuke more and it has some emotional cutscenes.
Bro, I feel like I need to send you billions of dollars to help you fight Russia.
Uh we already did. Can we just leave politics out of gaming?
🤣🤣 joke flew over my boy knuckles
@@bobacota3390he did not know da wae
Fucking spot on and hilarious
Lately I've went back to NFS Most Wanted, GTA San Andreas, and Tiger Woods 2005. All three of them are still super fun. I can see myself playing them again in another 10 years and enjoying them just as much.
PS2 is the last gen of gaming i was into before i kind of left the scene behind. But since getting back into retro gaming i find myself playing a lot of PS2 and I've been finding gem after gem for this system. Games i had forgotten about and now I'm playing them everyday. My PS2 collection has tripled in the past 2 months
Me and my brother used to play on ps2 a lot. And I feel like no matter what and how great looking new game is released. It feels different now. As adult I can't enjoy games I used to do when I was in middle school. Don¨t get me wrong. I still love many games that were released recently. But not that much fun just because I have other tthings on my mind and it's hard to just switch off from the reality.
Those times when we used to start a game every single day from the beginning becasue we had no memeory card for some time were awesome and we just did not mind. Tekken 5, NHL 18, The Matrix: Path of Neo, Pirates of Caribbean Legend of Jack Sparrow in coop...
But also some of my favourites gems I had to replay recently like Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicles. Those games are gems! And it's hard to believe those games were released in 2000 in Japan and 2001 in the Europ. I know it took a lot from Zelda. But damn... music in this game hits different. Gameplay, crafting, everything is so god damn perfect. And I know there is way more games on ps2 like these. But I would choose Dark Cloud over anything. Even after years I loved every second of it.
Don't forget some gems like God of War too. Yeah... old good times! I also would recomend a game called Trapt. Not many people knows about this game. But it's unique. And the story telling is good.
Get a Quest 3. It is truely an upgrade from limited flatscreen. Early playstation 1/2 is great but lack modern tech of today
If you say gaming sucks nowadays and have left the scene since PS2 then you have no grounds to talk. Only those who are still here gaming have any valid opinions on the state of video games.
I got a ps5 that i barely touch anymore.I play my ps2 ps3 more
Dude, I am the same way. My PS5 is just collecting dust lol
@itsskully4390 ps2 has so many awesome games.Ps5 nothing but remakes remasters
@@robertbell1804 I realized lately there's so much I haven't tried yet either and I'm glad I'm actually taking the time to buy some and try them out. Truly an excellent era. Many games that come out these days are just rehashed shit while there was so much variety back then. For me it's been mostly old games and new indie games these days. Last I touched my PS5 I think was in November and I was playing an indie title. I used to play lots of Online on some triple A titles until they increased the price for online subscriptions.
I just bought 24 PS2 games today. Happy day!
I also have been playing PS2. Mercenaries, Bully, and Smackdown VS Raw 2007 have been loads of fun.
I also restarted World at War PS3 because of your video a couple weeks ago. Awesome campaign and finding multiplayer lobbies even in weekday mornings.
Mercenaries was great. Sucks the IP is in copyright limbo or else we'd have a remake. That last mission was brutal.
Also been collecting PS2 titles. Great to relive these memories and many of these experiences are much more satisfying to play them a lot of games today.
Shenmue, GTA Vice City, and Splinter Cell are still my jam. Recently I've been revisiting that generation for the RPGs I missed out on.
I still remember for Christmas unwrapping to see that solid blue box it was amazing
I just bought the PS2 a few days ago. And I am playing it a lot lately. I used to have one as a kid. Now I can enjoy playing it again. The PS2 is that one console that will never die. So glad a lot of people are still playing it in 2024.
I did this a few years ago...left social media and such...was living back (to a degree) like the early 2000s
@@HDbaconlove that. I kinda do the same. Havent had online subscription to ps plus etc for about 3 years plus now. All my friends are online gaming and have ps5s and im sat alone playing ps1-ps4. And happy with it
Salute bro I’m right there with ya, playing Tenkaichi 2 as we speak 💯🙏🏽
instead you could have easily played all ps2 games right on your android phone using Aethersx2 emulator
I'm currently playing the original God of War on my PS2. Still holds up
Me too! I just got the Stuntman the other day cause I've played all the Driver games, so excited to try that.
a good benefit of the steam deck or the modern handhelds is that you can go back and play ps2 games and some that you may have never owned and lastly the games are more amazing than what game are today
Def Jam Fight for New York was a great game on the PS2. I tend to start it up just to play through it one more time.
I'm jealous you have that game. A lot of copies I've seen are around $200
@@BasementGamerYT dont be jealous 😉

same here but with ps1, ps2, and gc games XD
Welcome to the club never stoped playing. im about to get silent Hill 3 been really wanting to play that game
Prince of Persia
The tony hawk games hit me in the feels. I played and beat the original underground like 10 times.
Me too, bro. best system ever. 180 physical collection and still growing. games were just better back then.
Being able to load up a SATA drive full of games and play revived multiplayer online games on the PS2 is awesome. It's never had a better homebrew scene :)
What HDMI adapter do you use to play play station on your tv?
your comments around 8:40 about enjoying the games more now is very relatable. games i enjoyed as a lad now strictly for gameplay, nowadays i find myself enjoying the gameplay with rose-tinted glasses but it almost feels like experiencing the story for the first time. even with games i'd beaten as a lad, now that i'm not skipping every cutscene n shit they actually make sense
My PS2 gets a decent runout each year, mostly to play Black, NFS underground and my day one save of FFX.. it’s a timeless console that holds a place in my heart as it’s the one me and my brother shared growing up
Omg. A second channel. Subbed immediately. Great content and as a first time PlayStation owner with a PS5 this was a sick video.
PCSX2 Squad over here, our PS2 games will always have that special place in our hearts
Great video. Totally nostalgic, and you have great taste in PS2 games. Some of my favorites. I was that guy who was hooked on Playstation 2 back in the day. Splinter Cell being my favorite, then Socom Navy Seals, Call of Duty finest hour, Tekken, Need for Speed, and then GTA. I quite playing for years after the PS2 became unpopular, but I recently got another one and bought two Splinter Cell games, but I have played a total of 1 hour in 6 months...lol...I work way too much.
I played them on pc but Resident Evil 4 and Hitman Blood Money are amazing games from that era.
Aye lot’s of respect!💯 Same here:) I have a PS5 laying in the box while I game on my OG PS2 & Dreamcast! Long live retro gaming!

I'm currently trying to get physical media for PS2 game, because there have been MANY games I never got the chance to play back in the day. I got TimeSplitters 2 for PS2 and I had fun playing the game. But over all PS2 has so many games, that it's pretty difficult to remember them all and it can be pretty hard to get them on physical media, since some PS2 games have gotten way too expensive, but I'm still trying to get as many as I can, so I could have a good time and maybe once I have kids of my own, I would introduce them to gaming that I grew up with.
ebay has alot of PS2 titles !
@@Kizzy_B Sadly not everyone have access to Ebay and not everyone can afford all the postage and tax imports fees and whatnots ... A game can be 5 euros while everything else is 50 / 100 euros ... I cant and wont pay that for a game nor will millions of people ...
Just the other day a friend told me how he bought a small random old console lot of parts and spares and was held up at customs later he had to pay big money for the import fees and other things so he was joking about it how he finally got the package but had to sell a kidney to pay for it XD
It honestly feels like that when you pay for an item basically next to nothing while everything else related to it is expensive.
Our inner postal costs are not any better. 2 weeks ago I bought something for 1 euro and my postage cost was around 10 euros to the point felt like I was punched in the face when it arrived on top of that the package was mangled too for which collectively I filed a complaint about but I got no response since nothing was reported actually being damaged but easily could have been and that happened before down the years for which sometimes I would get a voucher or nothing at all ...
Timesplitters: Future Perfect is my all time favourite ps2 game. Can’t recommend enough!
I still have an original PS2 that works great. I feel like the PS2 was the last system with simplified controls.
Ps2 was Sonys peak. Creativity and catering to the gamer was at an all time high. Now they just trying to milk games and take our money
Dude, you fast became one of my favourite yt channelXD i am 34 now and this is right in the feels. I never owned a ps2 in my youth. Now i have one and i buy everything that seems interesting. Just got 2 007 games in the mail, i know they are not the best but i just have to experience the games😅 and not only on the ps2. Just refurbished my ps3, got a Xbox one and a 360.

You look so happy about it in the thumbnail.
Good stuff. I mainly play my favorites from ps2/xbox/gamecube/dreamcast era these days.
I got the backwards compatible PS3 or how I like to call it the PS Triple and it's a dream amigo, a dream.
The A model PS3. The Cadillac of PS3s.
@@verbalkint1770not that one. Mine is the cechc/e model, not as legendary as the a but more reliable and its PS2 image is a bit sharper which makes it the best imo
I was devastated when mine crapped out a few years back. I even tried to get it repaired at a cell phone repair shop and it worked for like 10 minutes. Had to throw it out.
Yeah, I have the 80gb Fat PS3 model. It's great because you can play three generations of PS games on it, and it doubles down as a cheaper blu-ray player. LOL.
PS2 is still the best console ever.
Im using companant cables in a HDTV but looks not how I remember it. Very grainy any advice
SAME HERE MAN AWESOME VIDEO
Clicked on your video about your 'why' reason. Funny that you mention about how good the soundtracks were, because I also had the feeling that a lot of PS3 (Black Ops 2 Zombies From Buried, Mob of The Dead & Origins) and the Pac-Man World 2 & Need For Speed Most Wanted from PS2 had insanely good music (from the games that I had). It made the gameplay more epic and immersive.
That is what I have been missing from almost all the games I have played on the PS4. I have for 6 months a PS5 now and the only game I have been blown away from the soundtracks, is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
It has been a really long time ago that I felt the climax and dissapointment of completing the campaign at the same time; because I finished it. It was that good. I only have 3 big games on my PS5. The others are destiny from ps3/ps4 & Gran Turismo 7.
How are u playing in a monitor? Hdmi converter or component cables?
Or u using a PS3 with backwards comp?
Killer lineup of games in the thumbnail 🔥
that guy is so real, just spits what we all have been thinking in the most natural and authentic way possible
Just started the video, see title and yes agreed! Once I get some free time I'd love to getback on it more and try out titles I've always heard about/finish some older games
I’m 46, bro you don’t have idea. 100% agree with you, love your video.
This was a civilized era it felt...PS2, XBOX, GameCube, even DreamCast...they all existed together and we loved it. The internet hadn't really blown up yet and you still had cheat codes you had to get from a magazine or had to unlock something through hard work...
Still have mine with about 60-ish games, its the OG fat model and it still works great!
Many of us are still playing classic titles with emulation on steam deck. Great stuff!
I’ve never not had a ps2, best console with the best games. I doubt any future console could even rival it
Great point about soundtracks! Somehow the early era of games using license music nailed it! Tony Hawk, GTA, and all the racing games were filled with bangers. I can't recall a recent game with good licensed music. Ironically, i think original game music has gotten really good
They are now reselling these games to us as part of the new Ps+ subscriptions...
I can respect a man who sticks to the classics. Today you can pretty much anything and it's amazing.
The Ace Combat games on PS2 are some of the best games ever made for it. I still find myself playing them from time to time.
PS2 was my latest console.
Solely a mobile gamer but I really want access to the full Steam library so may have to look at my options.
Deep cleaning mine as I watch this. Thinking of doing an HDMI mod to mine
New to the channel - and sir, Your eyes. You have seen some things, or you’re not sleeping enough. But I’m praying for you man.
He lives in a basement of course he's not getting enough sleep
Me too! I've recently played through Fatal Frame 1 to 3 and all of the dotHacks.
Singstar was very popular on ps2 here in Australia, at parties people would get together and sing with the microphone and have a blast
Good content, hope to see you at million subs !
