    they're not top of the charts but i enjoy gradius v, auto modellista, xiii, and dynasty warriors 4.

    more popular games might be shadow of the colossus, tony hawk pro skater 3, metal gear solid 2, gta, etc. i'm not real into those except the first one but they got good ratings.

    I have no idea how they managed to fuck the XIII remaster so badly. The bar was underground and they still made it worse.

      Not a single Ace Combat mention, how disappointing. AC 5 and Zero awe absolute musts. I also recommend Mercury Meltdown Remix, and Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix. Honorable mentions include Burnout Revenge, Lego Star Wars, Treasure Planet (I might be biased shut up), and Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm.

        Why not use myrient? It seems to have every ps2 game individually and is also easy to mass download from (at least with a download manager) and the speeds are great in my experience.

            One that's rarely mentioned anywhere but that's a lot of fun even today is The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. Especially if you like the franchise but it's also a solid game as is. It's a turn based rpg and you're kind of playing through the main story of lotr but you control a party of 6 characters that don't appear in the movies and kinda have their own battles to fight.

              I never actually played DDS. I was really more of a Devil Survivor fan, personally… But those weren’t on the PS2.

                FWIW: I highly recommend The Neverhood and a its encore, Skullmonkeys by Doug TenNapel. 🤘🏼🤓 (Both also available for PC, btw.)

                  In no particular order…

                  • Sly Cooper trilogy. The second game is the best, but the third has its strong points too. The first game feels like a tech demo in comparison to the second.
                  • Final Fantasy X (though I’d actually recommend playing it on PC with the Untitled Project X mod)
                  • Ratchet and Clank. The second and third games are the best. Deadlocked is divisive for many fans.
                  • Jak and Daxter trilogy. 2 and 3 are very different from the first game.
                  • GTA San Andreas.
                  • Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2. Ideally you should actually play these on the PS4/PS5/PC, because those are the directors cut (Final Mix) versions of the games. You can’t skip Chain of Memories either, which was originally only available on the GameBoy Advance; Look up a plot summary if you don’t want to play CoM, because the gameplay is very different from KH1 and 2.
                  • Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Persona 3FES, and Persona 4. Nocturne is from the mainline SMT series, while the Persona games are a spin-off. All three are available on other systems as well, (P3FES recently got a remake, for instance).
                  • Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening. It’s a prequel, so you don’t need to play DMC 1 or 2 first.
                  • Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It’s also a prequel, so you don’t need to play MGS 1 or 2 first. MGS Subsistence is the director’s cut version of the game, with some added gameplay improvements.
                  • Okami. If you like Zelda games, you’ll enjoy this. The combat is more akin to a DMC/God of War hack-n-slash, but the dungeons feel like Zelda dungeons.
                  • Resident Evil 4. The recent remake is also stellar.
                  • Shadow of the Colossus. Don’t read anything about it beforehand. Go in blind.
                  • Odin Sphere. A hand-drawn side scroller, with a great story.
                  • Viewtiful Joe. Same devs as Okami, also cell shaded but with a very different art style. Stylish, fast paced side scroller.
                  • Psychonauts. 3D platformer with a wild setting.
                  • God of War trilogy. See where the series started, because the recent games are very different while still maintaining a lot of the same.

                  Primal is one that you don't see mentioned a lot. Got a lot of attention at the time.

                  Fantavision was a fireworks based game. Quite chill, and one of things like Lumines that you just zen into one day and sail through, and then the next you struggle again.

                  GTA Vice City was superior to San Andreas in my opinion.

                  Kuri Kuri Mix is a cutesy top down co-op game. It's no Split Fiction, but it's by FromSoft so expect some difficulty spikes.

                    Burnout Takedown was the purest Burnout.

                    I've got no time for all that "traffic checking" nonsense.

                      I'd honestly skip SotC and play the remake on PS4. The controls are so much better it makes the original feel like QWOP.

                        Great speeds? Using Jdownloader2 if I go above 3.8MB/s with more than 2 connections I get throttled to worse than dial up speeds.

                        Occasionally it'll hit a single game that'll take days to finish for no apparent reason no matter what. It's maddening.

                        Still better than archive.org's broken fucking torrents that'll never ever reach 100% completion. You'd think an archival site would care to fix that after YEARS for FUCKS SAKE, but nope!

                            Thanks to your comment, I found out that PCSX2 uses CHDs. I thought that was a format that only MAME used.

                                  I know, I'd just rather torrent it's faster than DDL from them and makes a big difference with multi terabyte romsets.

                                  It's extremely lame they can't be bothered to fix whatever is wrong. They also don't warn people the feature doesn't actually... work. Why is it even an option on the page???
