I love how enthusiastic you are about gaming. It just feels like a friend wanting to share something that genuinely makes them happy.
Many of us who grew up with Nintendo were blinded by PS2. It wasn't until PS3 that I started getting PS2 games. Then I realized what I had missed
I'm sure this list was tough! The PS2 has such a large library with many great titles. I've been playing a lot shmups on the system, Castle Shikigami 2, Xll Stag, and Gradius 5.
yeah took me a while to narrow this list down! There's so many awesome shooters! I need to a dedicated shmups video sometime!
Samurai Aces, Gunbird, Raiden III, Steel Dragon EX, 1945, etc you have many good shmups on the PS2 🔥
American here. Can confirm jealous of the ICO box art
SSX3 is the best I'll die on this hill
I remember 2005 playing ps2 after school ... Nostalgia 🎉
Lots of inspiration for games to try, thanks!
Amazing video once again Nick ! I just discovered your podcast and I really like your content, keep going please !! 🙏
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the podcast too!
Just discovered your channel. You always seem so happy in the videos. Not used to that. Makes me feel better when watching the videos.
13 Sentinels is good BTW. Great story.
Also, their newest game Unicorn Overlord is my favorite game this year so far.
Ys, Outrun, Odin Sphere, Klonoa!? This man picked some bangers!
Yes you mentioned Klonoa, love that series so much! I still remember playing the demo disc 🙏
I just found out about your channel and I never heard of Mana Khemia 🙈 I‘ll definitely check it out
Great content as always! Genuine personalities are a dying breed on the modern internet.
I share a lot of the same memories as you for some of these games. Ys was also picked up on a whim, having never heard of the series it blew my mind. Star Ocean till the end of time turned me into a die hard Star Ocean fan as well. Awesome ps2 list, picked up Ridge Racer V this past weekend at my local swap because of you.
What an awesome and idiosyncratic list! Your top games videos are the best around. My own list would be completely different (although I would have Burnout 2) but I love that you personalise and justify every choice so well and your passion always comes across.
By the way, what is your experience with the Metal Gear Solid games? I notice you never talk about them so I assume you're not a big fan, but just curious.
What an amazing system the PS2 with such an incredible library. Final Fantasy and YS are also some of my favourite series and I’d also add the Sly Cooper 1, 2 and 3, Ratchet & Clank and Dragon Quest VIII. Great list.
Great to hear about your personal favourites! A PS2 list feels almost impossible to do with such a vast library. But my top game would probably be Soul Calibur III. I spent so much time creating characters and doing the Chronicles mode!
High on my list I would also place game collections like Taito Legends/ Taito Memories…
Love that you mentuoned some less known games as your faves like Mana Khemia. Never met anyone who liked burnout 2 better than 3 either, very interesting. You're right about its soundtrack though, its a real banger!
Great list! I haven't played enough PS2 games to really come up with a list of 15 favourites, but everything here looks appealing and there's a diverse range of genres available here. I tend to stick to JRPGs and Rockstar titles for Sony consoles, but I definitely missed out.
If I had a favourite, it'd be Wild ARMs 3. It's definitely not the best JRPG out there, and it's a bit awkward, but it has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's arguably my favourite game.
Ahh the flow state. Only one for me was wipeout on the ps1. I can't remember which version but the one with the dance tracks on it. When you had mastered the air brakes and could drift the craft around the corners with precision there was literally no better feeling!!!!!! Great video mate!!
Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. Really great PS2 game.
Wow, can't believe you remade this video! I watched your PS2 Top-10 almost exactly a year ago, according to my RUclips watch history, so it suddenly clicked when you referenced the original. I remember watching a lot of your legacy Top-10s during this time just for fun. Congrats on holding onto your values for 14 years, all the games are exactly the same, except the old list included We Love Katamari. One continuity error between this video and the other, is that here you mention you owned KH2 before KH, but in the old video you listed KH and said "the first one, 'cause I haven't played the second." Nice time capsule for the PS2 this time.
Amazing you watched the old one too! I was amazed when I watched it after making this and my picks were mostly all the same! I forgot the order I played the KH games. Infact, I found the footage for the game tower video I mentioned and it was actually KH1 in that stack, not 2!
Am I the only one that played the SSX games with their plug in snowboard thingy? Thing was a blast as a kid
Thanks for the Mana Khemia and Ar Tonelico 2 recommendations. PS2 has my favorite JRPG ever made in Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne as well as some other S-Tier bangers like Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tuner, Persona 3 FES, Persona 4, and Dragon Quest VIII so awesome to see recommendations for some more great JRPG that I hadn't heard of before.
I LOVE Kingdom Hearts, and I was also somebody whose introduction to the series was Kingdom Hearts 2, after saving up my pocket money for it as a kid! Still remains one of my favourite games and video game series to this day. (also love 358/2 Days as well!)
PS2 had so many great games, Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Bully, Guitar Hero & Smackdown HCTP would be a portion of my list😀
bully man, it was the shit
Great list you should also try Sean Palmer‘s pro snowboarder, and extermination are 2 of my favorite on the PS2
Great video RetroBreak... I love Burnout 3 Takedown, it was nearly impossible to drive the F1 Formula cars with the insane sense of speed. I also remember playing the Klonoa 2 demo over and over again and being at all with the charm and atmosphere. And of course Shadow of Colossus.... what a Masterpiece... I still prefer the ps2 version over the ps4 remake.
I used to binge play Tricky for days on end when it came out.
Of these, Ico is my favourite - top 5 all time for me. My copy was the digipak/art cards version like your Shadow of the Colossus.
I only just fixed my phat 39000 series ps2!
Ill name some of mine!
Tekken 5
Need for speed underground 2
The warriors
Crash wrath of cortex
Gta sanandreas
Wwe here comes the pain
Dbz bt3
Burnout 3 takedown
Tony hawks proskater 4
Midnight club 3
Dave mirra pro bmx 2
Ssx 3
Time splitters 2.
Man i could go on for ever
Cool list by the way awesome vid !
Your friend had some good taste. Ico, Ratchet and Clank, Dark Cloud, Jak and Daxter, and Onimusha are some of my favorites.
Its really funny how you said how you had a gamecube as a kid and played ssx tricky, 3, and on tour on the gamecube twice in less than a minute
The Last Guardian is easily one of my favourite games on the PS4, if not my favourite. Criminally underappreciated! Play it and make a video about why it's the best of the trilogy! 😂 Seriously though, the minor control and camera gripes shouldn't overshadow everything this game does right, a truly wonderful experience
I’ve played thousands of games in my time and Shadow of the Colossus might just be my number one! 🤔
Love the Ark of Napistim! i feel like all the Ridge Racers gets you in that zone to just want to do great which makes the series so much fun to play! i liked all your pick but I would of put in Sled Storm on the PS2. I'm a big fan of the Ghost N Goblin Series, so i liked the Maximo Ghost to Glory on the PS2. There is just so much on the PS2 it's hard to narrow it down to a few!
Honorable Mention: Katamari Damacy
It’s number 16! 😁
@@RetroBreak fair!
We share some of the top 15. I upgraded most of mine to ps3 or ps4. God of war 2 and shadow of the collussus would be my top 2.
"SSX", no not the first one, but on the Ps3 and 360, whilst not my favourite SSX, got me totally into a flow state. Such that I would regularly post the fastest online scores and times for a track without breaking a sweat, to the point I was really competing with myself for the high scores. That's never happened to me in any other game.
SSX Tricky is really good, but SSX 3 is perfection. They just couldn’t top that game, seeing as all other sequels were just subpar in comparison
sly cooper got me into my first realization of flow state
De ja vu... Feels like we were just talking about this recently 😂
Also I got all my music taste from the Burnout games! Memory by Sugarcult is peak!!
I see Mana Khemia has a sequel. Thanks for the recommendations. I noted: ar tonelico - Mana Khemia - I also noted a nice looking trilogy called "Atelier Iris."
They are all part of the same “Atelier” series :) mana Khemia is the 9th game in the series. The Iris games came before it, and ar tonelico is a spin off series
@@RetroBreak Time for me to dive into the rabbit hole 😄👍
When disgaea almost has the same art style as gust
Ohh I'd have ICO, Shadow Of the Colossus, MGS3, Burnout 3, Shadow Of Rome, Manhunt, GTA 3, Gradius V, Half Life....aaand Rez (which I played on ps2)
Shadow of rome, nice one 👌🏻✨
Quite an interesting choice to choose games like Ar Tonelico or Ridge Racer 5 over Persona 3. I like those games too but better than P3? Or maybe you just didn't play Persona 3?
For the Trance state... there's only 2 that have made it so "bad" that I even dreamnt about them. That's Tempest 2000, and Tetris Worlds (PS2). LOVED these and proper zoned out whilst playing them, even Tetris Effect hasn't come close.
awesome! Tempest seems like the perfect game for that! Or any Jeff Minter game tbh! I got the feeling with one of his VR titles more recently..
I wish they still made games like SSX and Fifa Street.....Rip EA Big
Yeah I wish they were still around! I miss those more arcade style sports games :(
Have you ever played as Klonoa on Moto GP PS2? Such a cool unlock
Despite it's OBVIOUS flaws, The Getaway games went fucken HARD 👀
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Mana Khemia! number 1! My second game of all time is Mana Khemia 2! they were so good!
Awesome! I’m sad the 2nd game never came out in the UK :(
@@RetroBreak If you can get it it by any means do so man. It's a great sequel to the game the writing is just funny and characters just get wild in a school setting.
It’s Ridge Racer! Riiiidge Raceeeeer! 😄
We all have our list shadow hearts is my favourite
Man, I wish you'd add a chapter list or a list of games so I can skip to the sections or games I'm interested in learning about.
Kingdom Hearts 2 is an S tier PS2 game
I couldn't get into Burnout 3 simply because it doesn't have a handbrake
Mate I know this your list and I respect it but how on earth is metal gear solid 2 or 3 not on this list or any of the original grand theft auto games 😢
I am pretty unfamiliar with Ico so I looked up the America box art….. I am not exaggerating when I say I physically recoiled haha
haha yeah it's disgusting isn't it! Didn't want to put it on the video incase I made anyone violently sick haha
It's also worse it's missing extra things in the pal version :) and the pal version has a 60hz option 😄
Ssx tricky was my first game on ps2. Shit was fire. I got a emulator on my pc but when i try to play this the dude just goes invisible lol
Here bc of retroarch on IOS
You're very lucky you got the good artwork for ICO... you can't display the american version with that monstrosity of a cover
Starting this video off with Outrun 2 is instant credibility that you know what you're talking about.
Best racing game IMO.
That's a nice selection of PS2 games with alot of variety in different genres. I really enjoy the list, but there's literally so much better games out there, that once you realize it you'll regret it and remake the list, it's happened to me before that I had a top list of games but once I realized how many games there are on PS2 it changed my mind and now I know that there's even better games out there that ticks all the boxes, replay value, fun, flow, graphics, game design, just all in all great games. But yeah, it's always up to debate what a top 15 list of games are, especially personal lists can change over time once you grow older and comparing the list from when you were younger you can tell that it's way different than from your current selection of top 15. That should be evidence that the love for your current top 15 can always change at any time... but if this is your top 15. I wouldn't agree with it fully, even though you had a few heavy hitters on the list for sure, not all of them felt right for me. But since you're a JRPG fan it makes total sense and I understand that aspect of it. I am no JRPG fan other than the love for FF7 on PS1, lol. But that's about it. I enjoyed your list though, it had tons of great games even though everyones personal top 15 list will always be different and it's cool to see what peoples top 15 are. Thanks for sharing yours. :)
erm, why isnt dark cloud 2/dark chronicle on the list
Where's pitfall lol 😂
Is that a Norwich accent? 🤔
zaddt 45 54
this list is weird af. where is GTA San Andreas?
wow i first knew you whe u were young...now u have fray hair 😐🤣
Silent hill 3 is just as good as sh 2 , 4 is good, but ur list is weird theres more better games on ps2
It's called HIS own opinion not yours
"best games for weebs"
Agree with all, but no mentioning God of War or Resident Evil 4 on the PS2 should be a crime lol
These games are ass broo your really missing it about ps2 games
Simply terrible list.
