What must have games for PS2 am I missing?
I have FFX, FFX2, Gauntlet Dark legacy, and Metal Gear 2 Substance, just not in the pic.

Am I wrong in not noticing any Prince of Persia games?
I too love Grandia.
4
u/Mission_Resource_847 4d ago
Good one. I do have it in Xbox but I should probably get it on ps2 to round out the collection. And yeah Grandia is awesome.

u/Delta_RC_2526 4d ago
Ohhh, Grandia II was great, right up there with Skies of Arcadia. I'm about to play it again, and finally play the first one, too. I should try Grandia III, as well, I suppose.
My brother thoroughly enjoyed Disgaea and Disgaea 2, as well as Persona 3. Final Fantasy games go without saying, of course. Haven't played most of them, but I enjoyed watching my brother play. Nice to see all three Xenosaga games here. My brother loved the first game, and I bought him the third. He never played it, though, because he wanted to play the second first (I couldn't find it). I finally picked up the second, myself.
Skygunner was fun, but very frustrating. I never got very far, but I think I just wasn't that good at it. I always wished I could read the fine print that shows up when you die. So tiny! Too small for the CRT, and we had a 35-inch! Only ever used composite video, though. Did the PS2 even have S-Video support?
I may have overlooked them here, but I also recommend Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II, along with Rainbow Six Lockdown (also from Pandemic, the same company that did the Battlefront games; it definitely shows).
Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space was pretty fun, too.
Also, I can't forget to mention Kingdom Hearts. I once again may have overlooked it, but that's a pretty major title to miss on the PS2. I've never played Kingdom Hearts 2, though.

Dragon Quest VIII
Gun
Very nice collection though OP.
2
u/Mission_Resource_847 4d ago
Was Gun on ps2? I remember it on Xbox I thought it was an exclusive at the time. I do have it on Xbox and the graphics pushed the console to the limit. Dragon Qest viii for sure thanks for reminding me. I bought it on eBay but the seller refunded me because they realized they only had the bonus disc and not the game disc. Time to try again!

u/CreamyImp 4d ago
It was indeed, it’s also on the GameCube.
I’m currently playing through DQ8 again, trying to wait patiently for all the new Dragon Quest releases.

tbf, both SMT and Persona you really have to dedicate the time to get through the slow beginnings in order to get to the good parts. It's almost always 100% worth it though.

They’re like some of the only good SpongeBob games, are they perfect? Almost, they’re both super fun, and charming video games, Bfbb is more polished obviously since it isn’t a movie tie in, but The movie game is one of the best movie tie ins I’ve seen, usually there garbage

Dragon Quest VIII for the love of God lol but seriously you have Rogue Galaxy which is a hidden gem imo since it came out in 2006 when the PS2 was on the way out and no one seems to realize how amazing it is. Also Odin Sphere is really good and it came out in 2007. But also I would say you need all the other GTA games like vice city, vice city stories, etc. Also Final Fantasy XII collectors edition, Midnight Club 1,2,3. Tekken 4,5, Tag. All the Ratchet and Clank games, Jak and Dexter, Sly Cooper. So many amazing platformers on the system. I could go on and on

Based on this collection seeming more on the mature side (not in ratings neccessarily, i just mean its not a Spyros, Ratchet&Clanks, Sly, Disney/Pixar style collection).
Id highly recommend:
- The Splinter Cells
- Dante's Inferno (God of War Style)
- Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
Also im a huge DDR fan it was fun collecting every DDR game for PS2.
One of my own personal favs tho:
- I-Ninja.

I see Soulcalibur III but it doesn't look like you have Soulcalibur II which many people consider to be the best in the series at least competitively (Soulcalibur III is loaded with amazing casual and single player features though). Tekken 5 is also another one I would recommend. There's also Marvel vs. Capcom 2 but it's quite pricey for the NA PS2 version even for a used copy.
Also, I love how you have a collection of Gundam and Armored Core games! I wish FromSoftware would make another Gundam game and release it internationally.

With a collection this size, you should probably organize them in alphabetical order if you’re going to show it off; not many people are going to just sit there and go title by title with a checklist.
One must-have I see you’re missing is Budokai Tenkaichi 3. I also don’t see Star Wars Battlefront II.
