      As someone who had the PS4 as their first home console (so you know I don't have nostalgia bias): yes. Simply no other console had this many historically important and genre-defining games. Only the NES has almost the same amount, but not quite.

    Cvit, you have to try Chaos Legion. I loved it when i was a teen, and still nowadays i think it is a fantastic game, actually a forgotten gem... and absolutely nobody talks about it. I honestly think it inspired (along many others) games like Dark Souls (for example the dificulty), and had many mechanics that were awesome but completely forgotten afterwards (the invocation system). The graphics where insane at that time, and i still listen to its OST to this day... PLEASE! I think you are the only one that can make some justice to this game. Nobody pays any attention to this kind of PS2 games except you. There's like one review, one speedrun and 3 or 4 longplays here on YT, it's outrageous.
    Also, thanks for the Nanobreaker review, i loved it when it was released one million years ago.

    All that extra and bonus content in Sword of Etheria blew my mind. I picked it up a whim back when it was new, as I didn't have a HD console yet, and my local GameStop (RIP) still stocked new PS2 games and they were super cheap, like 25 euro. This is how I got Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 thanks to that shop too. Anyway, I just beat Sword of Etheria once and I moved on, but I remember having a lot of fun playing it. It was a great nostalgia trip seeing it feature so heavily in this video!

    • @leonbelmont4028

    • @Just.Kidding
      @Just.Kidding Месяц назад +1

      honestly they look best without upscaling or enhancements, emulated as close to hardware as possible (if you're really devoted, ran through a CRT). These games were designed for a certain resolution, and upscaling adds a harshness that shouldn't be there. PS2 is the height of graphics IMO - they have a smoothness to them that's a product of more than just resolution that helps models and backgrounds blend together that you're totally robbed of using enhancements

  • @OriginalBosss

    Definitely my favourite console of all time. I had one back in the day and was still collecting for it up until a couple of years ago.
    Admittedly a lot of the games have aged poorly but so many PS2 games are still so good even today.
    Onimusha 1-3, Godhand, Ratchet and clank, Jak and Daxter, Black, Burnout 3, Ace Combat, Tekken 5, Final Fantasy 10, Resident Evil 4, Devil May Cry 3, Victorious Boxers 1 and 2, Ring Of Red, Gran Turismo 4, Persona 3 and 4, Crash Twinsanity..... the list of great PS2 games goes on and on.

    @jonatanrobledo9812 10 месяцев назад +4

    The PS2 is in my opinion the best console ever, they took so much experimental stuff from the first one, and just made even more random stuff with it.
    As obscure, not that much really. But when people speak about racing games they think GT4 and NFS, I think about Crash'n'Burn, I still play this game regularly.
    It still has some of the most fun Arena modes ever made, and when you get to play the "Extreme Kamikaze Tournament" races it's just madness of speed, oil, fire and metal scrap.

    I would love you to cover Chaos Legión. Ive seen you have it in your backlog and that it says that You are not enjoying the mechanics. I would say that the first few quests are just a walk in the park but at some point the Game Spikes in dificulty and You have to learn to use the summon and special atracks of each legion in cahoots with your move set and ítems if You want to advance. It's pretty deep at the end but i understand that it is not a good first impresion...
