Whenever I see Johnny's PS2 collection, my eyes immediately dart to his copy of Shark Tale
I hate shark tale
Because
ruclips.net/video/XITR7Nq0EAg/видео.html
Played that on the gamecube when I was little brings me back
I noted odin sphere:)
And not the fact that he has two copies of crash Twinsanity?
@@connorplays6263 why just why?
The game was pretty incomplete, sure, but having two copies aint gonna make either of them whole :)
I died when he called GTA V “GTA Skyrim” LMAO
He starts to talk about FFX: yes yes yes
He says that he needs a full video: Yes Yes Yes
The camera starts showing all the FF games: YES YES YES
He starts talking about a FF marathon: *YES YES YES*
*YES!!!!!!*
YES!
Is this a... never mind, it's not fun anymore
That was me to a T. I can’t wait for that long overdue marathon. And if Johnny thinks he can’t do all of them over one long marathon doesn’t matter. I’m in with him for this ride one way or another!
Yeesh, that's gonna be a hefty one.
@@andymarin6725 Yes Yes Yes *facepalms* Oh My God
The fact that your dad seems to be a gamer that would bring home videogames that you didnt beg for is totally awesome.
My dad was pretty much the same way. It was rare when he brought games home, but when he did, that would be the best morning of my life! I still remember him bringing home Sonic Heroes
The only games my dad liked was GTA but I still remember going to Best Buy to get vice city and atv off-road fury 2 one of the best memories I have
When a retrospective of various games on the PS2 is still shorter than a Sonic 06 review...
LMFAO! XD
I think Johnny has probably made a secret pact to himself that he'll never make a video that excessive and gargantuan ever again lol
Captain VaNNNNN As long as we don’t count the review of SGB as a whole.
Looking forward to Johnny vs. the GameCube.
If he fought a Gamecube, he wouldn't be able to scratch it.
But he already made a video on Melee
@@AVdE10000 Not exactly the same situation.
filipeflower the joke is that melee is the only game worth playing on the GC
Ps2 is better though
This entire generation of consoles was just a magical time
Yeah, also the 7th generation to a equal or lesser extent.
Fax
Overall I think it was the best generation
Gamecube ps2 and xbox, that’s the good shit
@@BatMane95 The 7th-gen of consoles is easily the worst generation post NES. Predatory DLC and microtransactions, Day 1 patches, "cinematic" experienced with dumbed down gameplay, homogenized experiences, horrible frame rates and muddy realistic looks for every game. The 7th-gen picked up a little bit at the end, but god it sucked.
"GTA: Skyrim"
Dude this is so true
I'm expecting a rerelease on the PS10 with a few adjustments in the future.
Unless we actually get GTA 6 and Rockstar starts milking that until its reduced to an anemic cow.
Okay, real talk.
Johnny, I was having a really shitty day. Stressful Zoom calls, college, internet management, college, college, and a hot day. But the moment I saw this uploaded, I was delighted to hear your relaxing voice talk about a kick ass console you like. Thank you for taking the time to keep doing this.
Sincerely, Claire
👌
I feel ya. Nothing like an upload from Johnny to cheer you up.
Yo same
Shitty day ? What make you so be stressed and scary I had college too and have lazy masters and don't pay attention for students it's hard to learn and too soon we have to test but I passed it too....so pls reply me I'm tired
@@kavehgaming546 Hang in there
Imagine: Johnny vs. Sega Genesis
I'm kinda surprised that hasn't happened yet.
Or the SNES.
Johnny vs SNES and genisis would be great
Ki master. Well the AVGN already did that.
Johnny vs 16 bit
I loved how Sonic Unleashed’s save file on the PS2 was Chip sitting down while holding a bar of chocolate. It was so neat and adorable! 😄
Might be a unpopular opinion, but i prefer Unleashed for the PS2/Wii over XB360/PS3's version.
I remember having HEATED discussions at recess about wich game was better: Devil May Cry 3 or God of War 2. Oh, the good days...
Obviously, the right answer is Devil May Cry 3.
@Joshua ruclips.net/video/zT5ZULhp8Po/видео.html
Wow that’s tough
I agree. You're forced to use more combos. God of War only requires more technical combos on highest difficulty, and then you usually pick the same ones.
The correct answer is obviously def jam fight for ny
DMC 3... You're a man of culture right there. 😎😎😎 You definitely made the right choice!~ :D
Now that's the face of someone who knows he's not getting a new game in years.
Poor Mega Man.
There was an oversaturation of mega man games during that period.
@@Carsonj13 I think he's talking about Classic Mega Man
"There's a tiger! A tiger for no reason! He's swiping at the fire boat!" I don't know why but that made me start laughing. XD
GUYS IF WE CAN GET HIM TO 500,000 HE'LL DO A PERSONA MARATHON
This truly was the best time for gaming. I had a GameCube growing up and my friend had the PS2 so we would always visit each other to play the games we were missing out on
31:28 I can...barely. That font man...
Hey its design doc! I like your channel man!
I can read it PERFECTLY FINE. I grew up with Devil May Cry. LOVE this series.
@@SRGIProductions I have it memorized.
Is that bad
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 I don't think so...
Man the memories of playing the Sly, Jak, R&C, Chaos legion, and final fantasy X. Thanks for the nostalgia trip Johnny!
Heh...Namco Museum and Naruto Ultimate Ninja were the games I played the most of my admittedly limited PS2 collection. I've started expanding that collection, mind you, but both my PlayStation and PlayStation 2 libraries are still in need of some fine tuning.
Aw man, it kills me to see how underrepresented games like Sly and Jak and Daxter are nowadays. I just don’t understand why titles in those two series are never focused on
@@MrAwsomenessprime Blame The Lost Frontier and Thieves in Time.
Dragon Quest 8. Shadow Hearten. Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3.
This is honestly my favorite era of gaming. I have way too many memories here. Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, the Def Jam games, actually playing consistently good sports titles, the list goes on and on. Thanks for this video. The whole thing just made me smile.
What I love so much about the PS2 is that, with so many great games, people can have entirely different experiences and histories with the console!
Fun fact: while you mention Vendetta, Def Jam: Fight for NY features a special thanks credit from Masahiro Sakurai. Yes, *that* Masahiro Sakurai.
Huh, I just learned of those games because of an old video.
I don't have enough money for either version of Fight for NY
We are talking about the bald overweight one, right?
That man is awesome! 💪🏿👌🏿👍🏿
@@PumpkinFox I don't think there's any other Masahiro Sakurai.
wonder how many people even know the def jam devs were japanese
I was wondering if there's a chance he's going to do more Johnny vs. with consoles, and here we are.
"I wouldn't look at all the mainline games in a row, that's not the smart thing to do"
I see what you did there John. I commend Clement for sticking with it though.
You know I don't know if that's what his intention was in saying that,but I really liked their rivalry in older videos and anytime clements on Brainscratchcomms so I'm going to choose to believe he was referencing Clements retrospective.
“One night while visiting my uncle’s late in the year, he shows me this new title from squaresoft”
Man I wish my family was that cool no one other than me knows what a video game is
Johnny talks about final fantasy
Me: yes
Johnny shows a panning shot of final fantasy games
Me: YES
Johnny says he'll need time to think about it
Me: ....
We need a Final Fantasy marathon.
Mario9919 That’s probably gonna take a lot of time to do the series (including the spinoffs)
You and me both lol
Ya, I'm getting balls like a Smurf here.
I mean, what I got out of it is that he wants to figure out how he's gonna tackle the games. All mainline games is too much, especially for the viewers who don't care about FF.
So like, "classic" FF first? Or only the games that he's had some personal history first? That kinda stuff.
With him going "I wanna talk Final Fantasy", and the dedicated scene showing off the games, I REALLY wanna believe that it's coming soon, after he figures out which games to go through.
The little wave into the DVD reflection popped me, I don't know why I didn't expect it.
Been watching Johnny since about 2010 and I gotta say, when I heard him say “I wanna talk about final fantasy” my heart skipped a beat
My introduction to the PS2 was SMT nocturne which was also my first introduction to RPGs in general.......... you can imagine the terror I had as a kid.
imagine being a kid hearing "ONE MORE GOD REJECTED" while fighting Mot
Unsubscribe from my channel I couldn’t even get that far cause I kept getting my ass handed to me by Matador, and the entire conception idea traumatized poor 5 year old me.
Hee Ho i imagine since the game is...decently hard and totally fair
Did you see that copy of SMT: Nocturne in the shelf? I gave him that game during his time at Too Many Games 2019 although it was through Ryan from Brainscratch Commentaries and I said to him that that game was for Johnny. It was also the same game that I gave Caddicarus during his time at Too Many Games 2018.
BCMaster actually? That’s amazing. I really wish Johnny would review some MegaTen games.
I was always mesmerized by the PS2 opening. I didn’t own a PS2 myself, but one of my friends in the neighborhood did.
Being down in his basement on weekends, the two of us playing the original Star Wars Battlefront 2 with a big bowl of popcorn brought down by his mom. Man, does were the days.
Except when the game didn't work and it went to the console menu system. Or worse, a disc error was shown.
That was my special signal as a kid.
"Quick! My brother is playing something, let's awkwardly go watch it!" xD
@@VonFirflirch Hey, nothing wrong with watching someone else play a game. I experienced the likes of Luigi's Mansion and Resident Evil 4 by watching my sister play them, after all.
Of course, the best thing about experiencing a video game is when YOU end up unlocking someone. I still recall the first time I unlocked Marth and Mewtwo in Melee via Vs. Mode. I was just playing some matches against my family as Kirby, so imagine my surprise when I was chosen by the game to fight this blue-haired pretty boy swordsman and the villain of the first Pokemon movie.
Wait there was an og battlefront 2? Remember the days when online wasnt that well known and online marketplaces (and therefore dlc and mtx) didnt exist
New battlefront seems kinda lame
Shout out to all the boys and girls who played Curious George for the ps2
Oh my god...I remember that...the balloon mini game killed me since I was like 10 and had to constantly look down at the buttons.
Nova 4554 that was pretty great. Also can’t forget the rhythm mini game that happened those few times.
Oh man, someone else remembers that game!
Heh, yeah, a Final Fantasy marathon would be a massive undertaking, and you'd have to do it in segments. I'm sure you're aware of Clement's project on that. His goal of having one game done a month was way too lofty by the time he got to the PS1 games.
Dude you sounded like you had a good dad and a great childhood.
Funny Story on how I got my ps2 , a friend of mine was being bad so their mom decided to throw it out , which lead to my mother taking it for me , and I have had it ever since 2012 , just hope he doesn't want it back.
If he does, it's too late to get it back now.
@Ryan Fanstone Not really sure on that one
If he wants it back, have him pay you.
Then again nowadays an old PS2 is relatively cheap.
@@ForrestFox626 yeah I think I can get one for $20? Maybe less🤔
@@ForrestFox626 I take that back. I just checked the price. $65🤬😳 man that's outrageous for a console I haven't seen in ages
I’m sure this isn’t really “appropriate “ to bring up, but outside of its own games, among my biggest PS2 memories include getting some disced emulators of various retro consoles and getting to experience many old classics for the first time. Spending a whole summer with a fat PS2 in a relative’s home in another city was a big treat. And man, the animated save file icons were su fun to watch (Under 30 seconds squad presenting)
christopher garratt
How’s that “Inappropriate” really?
Dude, SNES Station and P-Gen were my jam, I love these emulators to death and they're responsible for some of my best memories with the PS2
Inappropriate is watching porn on someone else's computer, not this.
I loved the snes emulator and the sega genesis one on the ps2, specially the music on the snes one.
@Ms. Elite Why is this here?
...do you know what kind of audience this is?
Johnny: I want to talk Final Fantasy
Projared: So you have chosen death
don't mention that name, it gives me bad flashbacks
Johnny: “That’s pretty big talk for a manchild who’s dead to the Internet.”
2 B you do know his wife was lying.... right
@@raidoukuzonoha883 I could give less of a fuck if he cheated on her or not. The fact that he sent nudes to a teenager is the much bigger sticking point for me-NO ONE who causes or lets children come to harm or trauma like that earns a view or cent of support from me. Not now. Not ever.
You know them teenagers lied to right . Sounds like you jumped right on the cancel culture bandwagon
I love the PS2 startup sound so much. So nostalgic
Using this as background noise while doing college work
I do the same lmao
robot boi nice
@@michaelrhett4958 i use a lot somecallmejohnny videos as background noise
Johnny: 37:46
Me: _OhmyGodmememehe'stalkingaboutme_
Reminds me of Johnny’s joke about being called an a-hole when controlling Charging Chucks in Mario Odyssey😂
@@funnysonicman That's exactly what I was referencing actually hahaha
XANDU? what are you doing here, from vocaloid to Somecallmejohnny, you're everywhere
@@James-gj8rn I've been watching Johnny since before I ever uploaded music.
@@XanduIsBored wow quite a bit of time then, love you’re covers by the way
2:41 Shit, seeing that building takes me back. The smell of butter popcorn as you step in the door, the TVs all playing info on the latest releases at the time, DAMN I'm old.
Who here remembers GameFly?
The line “Feel the power of my maaaagic” was a line me and my friends over used in D&D and regular life in our early college years, so it made me smile so much to see you use the clip
You ever have that feeling when you already had a good day, and then you get a notification from your favorite RUclipsr?
Johnny, the smiles and laughs in this video (and just your videos in general) are something I will not forget at all. I legit kid you not, I was watching this and I, out loud, went “YES!” during two moments: when you touched upon Grand Theft Auto (esp. Vice City, I was SO pumped to hear about a game from my own childhood), and when you talked and mentioned a FINAL FANTASY MARATHON! And when the music from the FF7 Remake Prelude came on, and it showed all the games on your shelf, to say I was overjoyed would be a vast understatement. (BTW, I understand that a marathon of FF games seems daunting, so take as much time as you need to on reviewing them! I would love to hear your thoughts about FF7 and hear about other FF games I want to try out, but I think I can speak for others when I say that we would hate to see you burnt out if you did them all in a row.)
Man, it may seem like a small thing to a lot of people. But hearing that your favorite Internet personality was going to touch on games and series that you know, or a series that you want to know more of (in my case, Final Fantasy, considering I’ve only played and beaten 7, both the original and Remake), it just... it’s such a special feeling, you know? My man, I’ve been watching your videos for years, and to be able to go through the evolution of the channel and hearing you talk about different series that I would have NEVER given the time and day, only to now LOVE them, like Metal Gear and Resident Evil? I seriously mean this from the bottom of my heart, but thank you, Johnny.
Thanks for reading this if you did make it this far, and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for the future. Please take care, John, and here’s to many more outstanding videos and laughs and smiles. :)
Sincerely, Gabe
I appreciate you watching and listening. The eventual marathon is gonna be one of my most heartfelt.
Here's Johnny with the nostalgia trip i need, i don't care about PS5 at the minute and i'm getting sick of the next gen talk, so i'm glad you're taking a look back at PS2 (Sony's best console and a major part of my childhood, still love Tekken 4 to this day, remember when me and my father would play it all the time when i was younger, good times)
That is the same with me but with Tekken 5
This next gen is looking like a real wet fart rn frfr
@@KaroSword i'm excited, don't get me wrong here but Sony are staying really quiet (with the price and release date of PS5 i mean) so don't care now
@@James-gj8rn yeah aside from demons souls I'm not finding anything to be excited about this coming gen im going to PC for this time around. Might get a ps5 when they release a second model down the line.
@@KaroSword bruh, new ratchet and clank, new horizon sequel, new sackboy game, new spiderman, plus RE VIII and lots of other stuff. Their lineup so far is amazing
I have binge watched your entire Johnny vs playlist. This video has to be my favourite episode you have ever done. It's the first time I have ever watched it and have watched 3 times within and hour and half.
I’ve been following you for 10 years Johnny. You’re the first RUclipsr I started following. Crazy to think some of these games were barely 5 years old when this channel started. Thanks for all the nostalgia through the years.
The PS2 is tied with the SNES as my favorite console of all time. In my eyes, the PS2 perfected 3D the way the SNES perfected 2D. Ratchet, Jak, Sly, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, the Team ICO games, the Dragon Ball games (excluding Sagas, of course), I could go on. As much as I love the GameCube, there's no competition on which console was the best of the 6th generation. There are still so many classics I haven't gotten to yet in my never ending journey through gaming history, it's just such a good console. Just goes to prove that the power in the console doesn't mean nearly as much as the games that back it, and the PS2 had the games in droves.
Agreed.
PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and pc were all excellent during that time.
Can't say the same for today's gaming options.
I still like Dreamcast more.
@@Gruntvc 6th gen and late 5th gen, was peak gaming at its finest. More specifically between 98-05. The hardware limitations for 3D game development were almost gone and there were no trends so devs had the creative freedom to try it all. You'll find a lot of games with crazy and creative ideas from this generation. Plus, all 4 consoles had at least a few hundred exclusives each. It was also the last generation to hold ALL content on physical discs and have inbuilt cheat codes. Before paid online, online multiplayer focus, dlcs, microtransactions and patches.
My only complaint from this generation would be the region lock, otherwise, it was perfect in my book.
The ps2 had so much support, and the gcn had more power and a bunch of exclusives. Yes, the ps2 has my favorite game of all time, but the gamecube has better versions of 3rd party games and had quite a few good exclusives.
OH MY GOD I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT GAMESTOP COVER IN AGES. I swear I purged those ugly used game covers from my mind.
Same.
My problem wasnt that they were ugly. its that it wasnt the actual cover for the game
"Here's Johnny!" So glad your back, luv your show holmes!
I'm feeling alot of nostalgia aswell since I grew up with a PS2 as my second console. Great video
Yo, is it just me or is the video quality lookin' REALLY clean?
Yes, I remember when PlayStations did not look like Wi-Fi routers.
Hilarious, and original.
It was a simpler time.
Xbox is shit lol
Instead it looked more like Atari.
Facts
This vid is a really good one man. I didn't grow up with the console (gamecube household over here), but this was a fun nostalgic look back at the early 2000s.
I really like the way your camera is set up this video! Sitting at the desk with the PS2 + TV in the back looks sharp.
Johnny starts panning over the FF games.
Me: No you can't be serious, JOHN NO YOU'LL BE MARATHONING GAMES FOR YEARS, YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, IF YOU THOUGHT METAL GEAR WAS HELL, THIS IS SUPER-MEGA-DEATH-CHRIST HELL.
fairly sure he is familiar with the series and its length
@@angusbell3475 Yeah I know, I just wanted to poke fun at how long a Final Fantasy series would be.
I think he can do it if he just split the games into 3 or 4 marathon based on years and systems
@@dave7549 Personally with the number of times he's brought up FF14 and how many hours he's apparently poured into it, I think that video would be one juggernaut onto itself. Possibly something to even rival the sonic 06 review.
The Great Clement is the furthest along on a FF retrospective, and he still isn't close to finishing.
Johnny: *Uploads*
Me: I AM SPEED
Lots of good memories of playing tons of games AND movies on my own PS2. Such a massive and yet quality library of awesome games. Great retrospective, it was fun to see some else's experience with the console! Also, looking forward to those Onimusha, Mortal Kombat and Final Fantasy retrospectives!!!
So much fun watching this. Many systems like the PS1 & PS2 had plenty of demo discs, which got me hooked on several games. Maybe a future Vs. video?
I would love for Johnny to cover Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie tbh. It's an incredible movie tie in game and honestly one of my favourite games of all time.
Semi-related but did you see Up from the depths review?
That's a throwback, I only played the demo, but it seem unique for a licensed game. I think it shifted through several playstyles and for the time it did look more appealing than other license games.
Whoa the game is that good? I’ll havta check it out.
Have to agree, that game is probably one if the best movie tie ins period
Remembered playing Yu-Gi-Oh: The Duelists of the Roses, a game that really needs a HD remaster
Capsule Monster Colosseum was awesome too. Good times...
I have theme song that plays when you duel against the Lancastrians. Would say that's the Yorkist theme or theirs? I prefer Yorkists, cause I prefer that ending. The direct confirmation that you're being sent back to your time.
Vinícius Malentaqui I actually never played that one not have I heard it existed until a few years ago, does look good though
I have that and I swear I never even put that game into my ps2. Always played the gba yugioh games instead.
More like Remake so we can get some legacy support added in and maybe make the game a bit longer. Nothing super crazy. Just plain more content in addition to cleaner graphics and animations.
its so comforting hearing your nostalgic old video game experiences
09:16 these little blink and youll miss it gags are such a great aspect of this channel, i love it haha
The PS2 was the first console I remember playing. I recall playing the hell out of:
Battle for Bikini Bottom
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
Lego Star Wars
Star Wars Battlefront 1 (didn’t get 2 until much later)
NASCAR Heat
Sonic Mega Collection Plus
I owe it all to this one console. Now if only I could find some authentic controllers to play the games again, all I find these days are cheap, knockoff controllers.
Same. I remember spending playing games like jak and daxter franchise, God of war Dmc3 etc.
For me it was Destroy All Humans, Ratchet Deadlocked, God of War 2, Jak 3, and so many hours on Star Wars Battlefront.
Me with Battle for Bikini Bottom, Kingdom Hearts 2, & GTA San Andreas.
@@Phanthief95 For me it was kingdom hearts 2, shadow of the colossus, and the one i spent the most time with: Dragon quest 8. Love that game and series.
Namco Museum and Naruto Ultimate Ninja. Those are the games I've poured the most time into on PS2.
Do not worry Sly Cooper, You're chance to be reviewed by Johnny will come soon enough.
same for jak and daxter
Same with Ratchet & Clank.
This video is a masterpiece all the way from the intro, to Vice City, to DDR, to Guitar Hero II (the funniest part of this video imo), to the ending. From start to finish this look back on a huge part of your life, was entertaining and just an amazing video. Keep creating the content you love and entertaining many
The info in this video was actually helpful seeing as how I'm currently having problems with my PS2. Guess its time to replace the laser...
Seeing Johnny talk about the PS2 Is kinda surreal if you grew up with the PS2. Nonetheless, im not complaining ^^
First game i ever bought with my own money i got with my first part time job back in 02
*Sees topic*: Yesssss.
*Sees length*: YESSSSSS!
The best era! KH was just getting started and there weren't like a million games yet. Ratchet and Clank, Sly, Jak and Daxter pushed the platforming genre into a new direction. RPG's were solid. Gamecube was underrated, but was dropping some pretty solid titles. The xbox was just getting started. No dlc or patches so if your game was a buggy mess (ex. Dragon Ball Sagas) or a fighting game character was op you just had to deal with it (ex. Budokai/Tenkaichi games, CVS2.) Music was good as hell. Also, guides and manuals still existed. I'm sure people could list more reasons why this gen was so good.
And TimeSplitters games. Mostly Future Perfect
Kh has lost its flare:(
PS2 just might be one of my favorite consoles of all time next to the SNES.
As much as I loved my PS2 growing up, I thi k I'd have had more fun with a GameCube back in the day. PS2 was still fantastic and I am grateful to have had it
Astro. I will always have an soft spot for the Gamecube and it does do some things better than the PS2 in terms of the more polished framerates & better design console. But I prefer the PS2 more due to more license, better library of games, more storage data, backward capability and u can play movies on it.
God this video made me so nostalgic. I was around 6 or 7 when the PS2 first came out and while I personally wasn’t a PlayStation guy until actually the launch of the PS4(I had a Dreamcast and later a Gamecube) I had a lot of friends with the PS2, and growing up playing that system with friends and family were some of the best times. The early to mid 2000’s was a great time to be a young kid playing video games with your pals
I love Johnny's retrospectives on consoles and such, such a different take on his familiar style of videos but still nails the comedy and the review side of things.
The Playstation 2 is such a great system, one of my favorites. So many great memories and games! Kingdom Hearts, the Jak series, the Ratchet and Clank series, Final Fantasy X, Tales of the Abyss, god there so many great games!
Please play Okami if you haven't. It was originally on the PS2 and you can get it on the PS4 now. It is my favorite game, and it still looks good today on the PS4 despite it being an older generation title.
Seeing footage of MK Deadly Alliance and GH 2 was like revisiting a part of my brain I thought was gone for good. Great video!
If you loved Def Jam Vendetta, you're gonna be hooked on the sequel, Def Jam: Fight For NY! It's better than Vendetta in every single aspect!
I was waiting for him to mention that. Spent HOURS on that
Andre Davila just don’t play icon
Wrestling with rappers by AKI? Shit yeah. The best part was the move names. "Thugged Around"
The Def Jam series basically is to rap what Super Smash Bros. is to Nintendo.
@@Astolfo2001 Yeah. Too bad it all crashed and burned when Def Jam Icon came out.
Still rocking my PS2 to this day! Amazing console, brings me back to a much more simple time.
Right after playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time, this pops up in my feed.
*SH2 is a masterpiece. Definitely in my top 10.
Great game, but I feel SH3 was an improvement in most ways. Storyline always being up for debate of course.
1-4 are ALL valid;
Its like those lil Variety Cereal packs you see in markets, and I love them all
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster I liked most of the others as well especially Origins and Downpour.
Ikari Metal Slugger Glad to see some love for Downpour. That game was unjustly overlooked and hated, it’s the only modern SH that matches the originals in terms of atmosphere IMO.
You always make my day with your videos man, stay safe and healthy!
Really enjoyed this unique vs. series! I'd love to see Johnny cover a vs. for Dreamcast or maybe Playstation 3 :D
PS2 had GTA San Andreas, so I automatically hold it in high regard
I would also add Vice City, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, God of War 1 & 2, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Persona 3, & Persona 4.
@@Phanthief95 yugioh duelist of roses
It also had Simpsons Hit and Run which was gta for kids but we loved it just as much.
Phanthief. I also throw in Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, Resident Evil 4, Shadow of the Collusius, Dragon Quest 8, Shin Gaumi Tensei Trilogy, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Onimusha games & Jack & Daxter.
16:31 lmao XD
This voice acting! 10/10
Your videos are such a blessing for this platform
Man, really happy you talked a bit about Dynasty Warriors. Musou games have always been my favorite from how fun they were. And the story also got me hooked once I played DW8 and SW2 and 4.
"It's been a while since I've did that personal look back video on the playstation, that was back in what..."
Oh, I remember that video, came out 2 or 3 years ago I think
"...2014 I think?"
WHAT
I feel like a fucking fossil
PS2 was a JRPG machine and then some however my fondest memory was when I got destroyed in the first Monster Hunter game by wild boars known as Bullfangos... :D
Now I'm looking forward to a major free title update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (perhaps the last one for this game) on my PS4-Pro and enjoying how much of a global success the franchise has become (the distinct lack of Bullfango's helps too).
It's pretty pointless but I wish we could get a monster hunter collection with open servers again. I'd like to play 1,2 and portable 3rd.
A JRPG machine, and yet I didn't play a single one of them. Instead, I got my fix with the best version of Namco Museum ever produced.
A fellow hunter! I'll see you at the guild! XD
it was definitely a JRPG machine. I mean series like SMT alone were pumping out games constantly
The fact that you used music from Budokai 2 alone has made me a subscriber. I am a fan for sure now!
Cant wait for your video on Final Fantasy or JRPG/RPG as a whole video. Got urself a new subscriber bro
You know Johnny is a real connoisseur when you see he has Nocturne in his collection
Yes!
I actually gave Johnny SMT: Nocturne during his time at Too Many Games 2019 although it was through Ryan from Brainscratch Commentaries and said to him that that game was for Johhny. I even gave Caddicarus the same game during his time at Too Many Games 2018.
The greatest console of all time. My favorite series for this system is the WWE SmackDown vs Raw series. Me and my family being huge wrestling fans at the time, these games have given me my greatest memories as both a gamer and wrestling fan. Long live the PS2.
Awesome video, I hope you do more game consoles as a whole like this! Also, yes pls to a final fantasy marathon
My memories with the PS2 come from my cousins, who had the slim model near the year 2004. I remember playing the DBZ Tenkaichi games and Guitar Hero 3 religiously. Tony Hawk, God of War 1&2, Mega Man X8, Final Fantasy XII, were just among the few I played by myself. My older cousin would play games like Kingdom Hearts II and Shadow of the Colossus. And of course, there were the WWE games. The hours we both spent on SDvsR from 2005 to 2009 were some of the greatest memories I have with the console.
Great video John, looking forward to that FF marathon now that COVID-19 has everybody with extra sparetime.
I still remember my first PS2 game, Yugioh Capsule Monster Colosseum. I was still a big fan of the card game and show at the time and I wanted me some free cards so I got that and Duelists of the Roses. Thankfully the rest of my library was filled out by my exposure to G4 (can't wait for it to come back BTW) and friends. It was taken up by Sly Cooper, Tak and the power of Juju, Ratchet and Clank, Okami, Kingdom Hearts, the Dragonball Z Budokai games, God of War my first M rated game, the Mega Man X anniversary collection, Persona 4. DANM THIS CONSOLE HAD SOME TOP TIER GAMES!
Man, PS2 was my first console I ever had got it at the young age of 10 had I still have it to this day at the age of 25 , works great and every time I go home to see my mom I plug it play either War of the Monsters, Godzilla Unleashed, Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Crash Mind over Mutant or Tak 2.
Finally watched this video. I love this machine so much not as the Dreamcast and Gamecube but it was a great machine to have growing up. And your review proves that every PS2 owner had different experiences because mine was different from yours. Great review btw dude.
Man i feel a bit left out not growing up with a PS2 i know ot has an amazing library and i don't regret growing up with a Gamecube at all, still hearing about Johnny's story with the PS2 is actually relatable and very interesting to hear, would love to see him talk more about specific consoles.
I vaguely remember my PS2...
Sonic Unleashed is the one that really sticks out to me. I remember getting up the Dark Gaia fight, failed a few times because I was young and bad, decided to leave it a week or two and play something else (Probably one of the Spongebob games, I loved those) and then my save data vanished. I have absolutely no idea what happened (I'm going to assume my brother was futzing about with my save) but at the same time the controller's shoulder buttons fell apart and I could no longer get past the tutorial because I couldn't quick step. And with that I went right back to my Xbox.
That is until my xbox literally snapped my copy of Sonic Heroes in half. I've never forgiven it for that.
Damn...your consoles have a vendetta against Sonic.
Huh, I suppose you're right.
Even several years down the line, my PS3 bugs out when playing Generations. Last time I tried playing it, I couldn't go past Green Hill Act 2 because the final stretch of land just refused to load.
My consoles are haunted by the Tails Doll, I swear.
@@crazyshark1016 Oh my god, I WAS KIDDING! Your consoles actually have a vendetta against Sonic. And I thought Wally West was the one the universe was conspiring against by denying folks like me the chance to buy comics featuring him.
Long story short, I tried getting Rebirth Titans Vol. 1, Rebirth Red Hood & The Outlaws Vol. 1, and DCeased: Unkillables a few days ago, but the card machine at the bookstore wouldn't accept any card, so I had to use my actual cash to buy one comic. Given how DCeased is one of the few things DC is doing right now that I'm invested in, you better believe that was taking priority, but that was just plain bullshit what happened.
Didn’t get a PS2 until my junior year of high school and I don’t have a lot of games for it but the games I do have for it and have played have really opened my heart to Sony. I was mostly a Nintendo kid growing up and briefly had like a PSP I barely got to use so I wasn’t exposed to the PlayStation library in a similar way as everyone else around me.
But the PS2 definitely made me expand my horizons beyond just Nintendo and I’m very grateful for it.
I lived with my cousins growing up and for Christmas '03, my dad got me the GameCube, and my uncle bought my cousins the PS2. All my experience with the Playstation 2 was with my cousins, and this video reminded me of all those memories we had. Hard to believe so many years went by. So many Games.
Its great to see someone talk about The Bouncer in 2020, I still listen to the OST to this day
"some of the system's biggest entries"
>drakengard
man I grew up through so much of my life with that game being such an obscure underground title.
it's wild how much I hear everyone talk about it now that NieR Automata came out.
No joke, I bought Final Fantasy 10 on the switch day *ONE* and in one year, I spent 575 hours on the game, and as of now…
705 hours!
That should tell you that this game is something special!
Does it take that long to complete it or what?
HandheldGamer1991
No, it’s just from replaying it and doing a bunch of insane stuff.
A normal play through clocks in about 40-60 hours.
Double that if you want to experience the entire postgame and everything else.
Stop Teasing me with that Onimusha marathon! Awesome video :D. Love the PS2 so much
This was such a fun video. Yeah the PS2 era was definitely one heck of a time. I know that the PS1 era was considered the Golden Age but I feel like that Golden age further extended with the PS2 because the atmosphere was still one of experimentation and not afraid to take risks. So many great games came out on the system that still have held the test of time. Watching this, it made me realize that as much as I loved the PS2 era, I really missed out on a lot of games back in the day that yeah, I ended up playing much later in my life but still, it makes me wish that I explored more of what the PS2 had to offer outside of the games that I was already hooked on at the time. Anyway, nice retrospective, the nostalgia was just too much haha.
