Please don't say your video is mediocre, dude, it's super entertaining and well put together, don't mind the black out :) In fact i've been binging all your videos. So, great content, my man, keep it up!
Was going to comment this aswell. What an amazing gen, Ratchet and Clank, MGS3, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Time Splitters,Bully, Persona 3 and 4, the list goes on
I played Max Payne, Need for Speed Most Wanted & Ratchet & Clank on PS2. You know, it says something about modern gaming where I am having more fun playing older games on older hardware.
IKR? I'm SO glad i missed out so much during the PS4/PS5 era and just kept on playing on my PS1 and PS2 with Smackdown 1 and 2 and even GTA VC, LCS and & SA to keep me company so i can actually have games that are REAL fun and aren't broken crash-happy pieces of junk that so many PS4/PS5 games are nowadays and i'm glad my PS4 sits under my bed and collects dust anyway after the WWE 2K19 servers shut down. (WWE 2K19 crashing in Universe Mode for me was the last straw) And i don't care if people think i'm stuck in the past or not, I still play PS2 all the time because i'm trying to avoid the dystopian life that is so-called the "modern world" and i'm sick of my PS4 crashing on me every single time i'm in the middle of playing a game. So yes, PS2 Master Race 4 Life 😎
Its based on the configuration that was used by Japan....the actions of the circle button and cross button were reversed (makes sense though as cross means No and Circle means Yes in Japan)....Sony has since reversed it in Japan (PS4 era)
I like 04 as well. 04 introduced the playmaker feature too. (Also the next year is when the hit stick feature was introduced so I’d add that one too.).. The one think I give 2003 is the mini camp feature. Thats the year it was introduced.
Alright, I've just watched this channel back-to-back for the past 3 hours after a random recommendation. Have a well-deserved sub and more power to you.
@@ProdByKenny909Most people, myself included, will probably agree that GT4 is a "better game", with refined graphics, more content etc, but GT3 is by far the game I had the most fun playing, and it's the one that made my jaw hit the floor in a way no other game has, before or since. Once I had witnessed the greatness of GT3, the improved sequel just felt like more of the same. But that's just my personal opinion. Both are obviously great games.
Sick video dude! I love the PS2 & still do! So to me i always love to try to find some games i haven’t heard about or forgot about but i would always get bored watching other videos of people doing their own lists or hauls but this video was very entertaining!
Great video! 2001,was the start of the real next gen games for the PS2, and the year the console turned from a good DVD player, to a real next gen gaming system. With games like DMC, ICO , MGS 2, GTA 3 GT3 , Silent Hill 2 and Jak & Daxter, that year with is variety and quality was better than this whole generation now.
Great video. I can completely see why these games are the top 10, but I think there are games that I subjectively think are better than some of them, and should be on the list. Some of my personal favourites include Burnout 3 Takedown, Spiderman 2, Secret Weapons Over Normandy and Bully.
Im not really into sports games but oh man , fifa street 1 and 2 on PS2 are gold. Apparently there's also NBA street or something but I haven't played it yet
Anything made by EA's BIG was goated. FIFA, NBA, and NFL street are better than their counterparts. Would also recommend SSX Tricky, Freekstyle, and Sled Strom.
Another worthy watch, keep 'em comin' man. I feel like PS2 needs a top 20 or 30, at least. Shadow of the Colossus & God Of War II would be 2 games that would make my top 10. Bro, you should do like a top 100 marathon at some point. I'd watch that, everyone would watch that.
Love your videos i have 12x ps2s used cleaned all of them puted new thermal pads and some are modchiped with matrix infinity and i got 1x brand new ps2 slim unopened sealed . Got 3 memory cards . 2x with FCMB . i play using hdd / usb . I prefer through disc reads pretty good compare to external hdd . I might try original hdd adaptor heared its better no lags hick ups and etc .. I love ps2 its VERY Releable console it dont have to use thermal paste it only need 1mm thermal pad dont take lot of electric from wall no overheating issues no problems .. i got ps3 brand new slim too and 4x used xbox360 slim x2 brand new and x1 used . I just love these consoles i got a ps4 slim and xbox series & ps5 too . Still i still go back play ps3 & ps2 games are better then today games Keep up the great content love your videos ❤️
You are probably the only game youtuber I watch mostly for their personality. Your attitude and ability to not take shit seriously is hilarious, keep it up!
The first time I played through MGS2, at the part where the Colonel tells Snake to turn off the ps2 console, I did. Probably more embarrassing than getting stuck on the main menu. But yeah MGS2 is easily #1 in my book.
Dude I relate so much to the mgs2 main menu story 😂😂 I thought my game was broken so I returned it to GameStop and got a new copy, only then when I was just pressing all the buttons did I realize circle was the select button. I was befuddled to say the least.
two games in my current rotation made this list- Tony Hawk pro skater 3 & GT3…(what’s with the 3’s?) but a game that didn’t make the list but a good honorable mention…Silent Hill 2.
8:53 i think that's the best way to describe Gran Turismo. some of those really difficult events make you want to smash your fucking skull through the hardest piece of drywall you can find but it's just so fucking good that regardless of the stress and rage you still enjoy every goddamn minute of it
awesome content. i can just relate because ps2 is the last console i had aside from what i have now which i only play basketball, golf, and racing games which have modern graphics with the same old controls. i dont consider myself hardcore gamer anymore since my retirement after ps2
Thanks to your channel man, I recently started collecting black labeled PS2/PS3 game's. But only the game's that I enjoyed, definitely gonna have to get Tony Hawk 3 and 4 now, I totally forgot about those until now.
I'd argue that Madden '07 is top 10. I played that game for many hours back in the day and forgot how good it was until I watched a video about it yesterday. The franchise mode was absolutely phenomenal on that game and let's not forget about the highlight stick. Oh yes, must pick that one up again!
My top ten PS2 games: Final Fantasy X Metal Gear Solid 2: SoL GTA Vice City SSX Zone of the Enders 2 Clock Tower 3 Jak and Daxter Shadow of the colossus Ico Onimusha
Not sure if you have a backwards compatibility Wii but Resident Evil 4 on Wii with a Camecube controller is the best set up ease wise IMO.. Great Video man keep em coming!
the only consoles i ever had were a ps1 and a psp, and no one around me ever really had consoles so im not experienced with controllers at this point i just use keyboard/mouse and play on pc but when u said the x button didnt get you past the menu and i noticed its potentially a japanese game my brain unlocked a memory that japanese games used circle instead of x before you said it hahaha - actual memory unlocked from when i was 7. amazing.
Tony Hawk Underground is definitely the best. I remember playing the first time being blindsided by the fact there was a story mode and how well written it is. The soundtrack, the characters, the story, the controls and movement. It's so perfect
I enjoy emulating the PS2/Xbox and Gamecube more nowadays because of the amazing possibilities. But I am thinking of getting physical versions of the games I liked again and some I missed, if at least to have them in a shelf and as "backup".
I had a PS2 on release thankfully got EB's swap return deal. The system would really have to rev up and vibrate for those blue games that I think were only CD's vs the silver dvd ones. After my third replacement I just stopped playing those games to stop my system from always breaking the DVD drive. I have a funny feeling if you look at the game disks color (like how ps1 was black disks) you will notice those are the system breakers.
I have been playing ps2 games again recently resident evil 4 Black & scarface the world is yours games i loved years ago & playing again great console 👍
Gonna let you know how I'm going everytime you upload. So I dropped another £400 or so since your last vid, my ps1 collection now stands at around 400 games. Going for the complete set
I had some weird disc reading issues on my PlayStation 2. I had to open it up and grease the bars where the laser slides. Some games there were no issues and others would make awful noises like yours is doing and crash or not load right.
Yea. Back in the day Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was my first game of the series. And it was great. But I played 4 way more and a lot with friends. I think somehow there was better graphical detail in 3 as the maps where smaller. Something about ratio. I should go back and play the third one.
I have never played a GTA game. Thinking of getting one. Any recommendations? I have a PS2, xbox 360, PS4 and Xbox Series S. Not fussed which era I play, just want to see what the fuss is all about. Thanks. Love your videos. 😊
DMC 3 you can play for 100h if you aim to understand how it works and go for the S scores on higher difficulties the depth is incredible and all of it is hidden away from the normal playthrough

Agreed
It's called self deprecating humor an it's a pillar stone of coping with depression.
To acknowledge the thoughts is to take their power away. While denial only prologue the crisis. It's by all accounts the easiest method of coping.
A main issue is that self deprecation can sadly lead to masochistic tendencies which can undermine the whole point of coping. But eh. It's worth.
Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, Final Fantasy X, Silent Hill 2.

Just finished the PS2 version MGS2 this morning 👍🏿 classic
Another great video mate. Sorry to hear DmC didn’t want to work!
The only nostalgic Madden game I think is 04 everybody and their grandma knows Michael Vick was a cheat code in that game
Michael Vick in NFL street 2 was insane as well

So many great games on PS2. Gran Turismo 3 will always be my personal pick for the top spot. I was seriously addicted to that game.
better than 4??

nba street vol 2 was probably one of the best sports games I've ever played
@@BasementGamerYT I'll definetely give it a try now
Fifa Street ❤ 100% better then all the fifa games put today lol 😅

That’s crazy 🔥is the ps2 still worth modding
@@don2nd650 if you like the games
@@don2nd650 i prefer ps3 more feels more modren
I would add The Getaway and SSX3 on the list
SSX 3 is awesome, it actually wasn't far from being top 10
And the getaway has a sequel
Black Monday was so good, many hours were spent in the free roam just cruising around London.
As a child of divorce, long before smart anything, home was wherever I took my PS2 Slim.
This makes no sense
As a banana consumer, long before the times of flat screens- I used to always play my games in my room.
As a swimming sperm, before the cock and balls, home was wherever
The last true game consoles that didn't require a HDD or updates to play games, before they went console\PC hybrid!
pretty solid top 10! if i could add a game to this list i wouldve added final fantasy 11 and 12 🩷
I just found a PS2 fat for $20 at the thrift store. Works perfectly. Never owned a PS2 before!
Enjoy
@@moonlambo5229 Nice. Enjoy your PS2 my man and also welcome to the PS2 Master Race club. 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺😊

For MGS2, circle was used as Japan's X button for the PS1 and PS2, so it was just something they missed changing in the US localization.
I know you play a variety of stuff, but you're becoming a very great PlayStation channel. Keep it up!

The disc makes that raddle noise is from center hole not being center
GTA III and Madden 2003 simply don't hold up nowadays but San Andreas, Vice City, Tony Hawk 3+4, Metal Gear Solid are all-time classics
Finally someone who appreciates Madden 2003 as much as I do. Definitely my favorite Madden and the soundtrack to the game is awesome.
Great video we need more ps2 and ps3 game pickups
I have over 300+ PS2 games in my big gaming collection over the years compared to my PS1/PS3/PS4 collection
I've never seen someone whose existence seems like my subconscious ripped out and made into its own person. Amazing content!
The fact that GTA 3 and GTA 4 are only 7 years apart is mind blowing.

How is Silent Hill 2 not in the top 10 on Metacritic... That's insane!
Agreed, we should make our own lists 😂
I agree the mid 2000' PS2 games were on another level.
the only consoles i ever had were a ps1 and a psp, and no one around me ever really had consoles so im not experienced with controllers at this point i just use keyboard/mouse and play on pc
but when u said the x button didnt get you past the menu and i noticed its potentially a japanese game my brain unlocked a memory that japanese games used circle instead of x before you said it hahaha - actual memory unlocked from when i was 7. amazing.
Tony Hawk Underground is definitely the best. I remember playing the first time being blindsided by the fact there was a story mode and how well written it is. The soundtrack, the characters, the story, the controls and movement. It's so perfect
In my opinion
Did you ever play Mercenaries, Playground of destruction.? PS2
Loved that when I was younger, hours would go by so fast.
Fun Game.
Make a video on hidden gem Ps2 games, like GUN or PRIMAL, etc
Gun is a banger dude
15:20 OMG that was me with MGS3 😂😂😂 i had the disc as a kid but didnt play the game until i was in my 20s. 😅
Vice City is my favorite game of all time, and I still play the PS2 version to this day
I enjoy emulating the PS2/Xbox and Gamecube more nowadays because of the amazing possibilities. But I am thinking of getting physical versions of the games I liked again and some I missed, if at least to have them in a shelf and as "backup".
SkyGunner is in my top 5!
An utterly overlooked gem and doesn’t age, due to its graphic style.
Tony Hawk 3 was awesome, my first Tony Hawk game was the 2nd game on PS1 or PS2 thru BC but those first 3 TH games were awesome.
I had a PS2 on release thankfully got EB's swap return deal. The system would really have to rev up and vibrate for those blue games that I think were only CD's vs the silver dvd ones. After my third replacement I just stopped playing those games to stop my system from always breaking the DVD drive.

Midnight club 3 is another rage inducing racing game from that era
Hi! Love the videos but please try to keep the background music to a minimum.
I remember driving on Vice City and if you drive too fast it would take a while for the roads to load on screen
-God Hand -Tony Hawk Underground 1 -Metal Gear Solid 3 -Shadow Of The Colossus -Devil May Cry 3 -Final Fantasy X
Manhunt the first one specifically is pretty fun
I have been playing ps2 games again recently resident evil 4 Black & scarface the world is yours games i loved years ago & playing again great console 👍

for me it was nfl street 2. the 2v2 street mode was epic.

I had some weird disc reading issues on my PlayStation 2. I had to open it up and grease the bars where the laser slides. Some games there were no issues and others would make awful noises like yours is doing and crash or not load right.
Damn devil may cry 1 is the best PS2 game ever next to Max Payne 1
I actually bought #10 and #9 today legit ✌️
Flatout 2 is the best racing game for ps2 if you ask me, so many modes you can play not just campaign it was awesome
Dunno how final fantasy 10 isn't on this list
They didn't listen to my story..
One fix for games that had issues reading on the ps2 is to stand the ps2 up vertically. I have two games that only work when the ps2 is upright.
crazy because underground 2 and american wasteland were my favourites. I'd love an american wasteland remake
Upscalling madden is a thing a beauty
Need more videos. How about a best racing games for ps2 and 3. But you need to get the third motorstorm because it is the best one.
COLD WINTER
Yea. Back in the day Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 was my first game of the series. And it was great. But I played 4 way more and a lot with friends. I think somehow there was better graphical detail in 3 as the maps where smaller. Something about ratio. I should go back and play the third one.
Lol getting stuck on the main menu of Metal Gear Solid 2. That happened to me as well.

San Andreas for PS2. Can't go wrong.
DMC 3 you can play for 100h
if you aim to understand how it works and go for the S scores on higher difficulties
the depth is incredible and all of it is hidden away from the normal playthrough
Need for Speed Underground 2 and Hot Pursuit 2 should be on that list.
Absolutely love the PS2 man! 🔥
Same, PS5 Sucks!
Love ma ps2 as well , im not into ps4/5, or modern xboxes
Devil may cry ! Yes, wished it worked for you. It's really a good and quick game
The pal gta cover is a lot better than the US cover, I wish they kept to the movie style covers instead of the generic grid covers.
What you can do with the devil may cry disk is put it in your Jailbroken ps3 and turn it into a ps2 iso
For me personally I would add God of War 2 to that list. Those games were simply mind blowing back in the day.
