I ordered a Japanese PS2 and like 60 import games 2 months ago. I got all the games for 10 bucks, but got fucked with shipping anyways. It might arrive the coming month.

MGS3, Ratchet and Clank, Persona 4, all three on my top 9 goat.
God Hand, RE4, that Berserk game, The first Yakuza though I prefer Kiwami, Burnout 3, and so on.

>It just goes on and on and on.
Yes, we can tell.  Your definition goes on and on and on because you have to add endless examples because your definition is too inconsistent and you want it to encompass everything you don't like.  You would have to express annoyance at this entire thread, whose purpose it to suck off a console like a fanboy, exactly like some of the examples you just gave.  My post, which you originally responded to, said nothing at all about any other console being better than the PS2.

To me, the PS2 was a shitty disappointment like every other console of that generation, and I take umbrage at the toddlers who grew up with it and now who want to celebrate a completely arbitrary number of years for a piece of hardware like it's the fucking birthday of a human being.  The PS2 isn't a person, it isn't alive, and it doesn't have feelings that can be hurt.  The only ones with feelings that might get hurt are people who project their own personal insecurities onto a fucking machine.

huh how odd. I have a physical copy of this game, didn't get it when I was younger. Played it on an old Ps3 I had purchased, the game & ps3 are unrelated.
The game had a few goofy ass puzzles like that urn to break the floor. but yeah combat was kind of lacking what an actual shame we didn't get Primal 2.

The transformations were great and I even remember the underwater segment having had good controls, for the most part. I was actually surprised how well the voice acting worked out. All in all, a lovely gem.

What was wrong with the PS2's silicon?
Its architecture may have been autistic, but it was quite capable in the right hands and didn't have the Indian public transport bus problems that crippled the N64.
It was also far more aesthetic than modern Inthell/AyyMD/ARM/Novidya slop, though that goes for the entire 6th gen save for the Hueg.

The Hueg was a weird autism PC running on a Pentium III and a custom NV2a GPU from Novidya alongside some funky I/O controllers and a rather complex Audio DSP, it's not as far removed from contemporary PCs as the Gamecube with its PPC CPU or the Dreamcast with its SH-4 CPU and PowerVR GPU but to each their own I guess.
Is it just me or has the board-wide IQ seen a considerable drop in recent times?

This doesn't mean the absolute amount of good posts is decreasing, but the amount of sludge obscuring them is thicker.

Pre-9/11 Y2K Nipponese autism mecha SRPG set in an alternate history where Nips didn't surrendered after the nukinges so the US and Commies invaded and did an iron curtain.
One of the few PS2 games to release on CD-ROM, it's less than 1GB in size but visually impressive nonetheless for its time.

Nipponese Mecha gaym with a rather experimental control scheme for the authentic 1950s remote-control giant robo experience.

Ooh, seconding this one. I played it as a kid and it was pretty neat.
How in the flying nigger did Sony and Konami manage to create an extremely accurate spatial audio renderer with virtually no filter coloring for Silent Hill 2 on the PS2?
Getting EAX/OpenAL-based 3D audio right on PC requires niggering around with fuckhueg HRTF databases and dll wrappers, but SH2 just fucking werks out of the box no questions asked.
Only downside is that while the positional audio is excellent, the number of sound effects spatialized is much smaller than one would expect with dialogue being in plain stereo.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, STEAMBOT CHRONICLES 2.

I remember I got Steambot Chronicles as a complete, "Fuck it, let's see what this is about" impulse buy, and was so completely surprised because usually games back then you heard NOTHING about were terrible.

It was a game I played in the middle of a fog/depression where I thought, "Holy shit, I'm actually having fun!" like it had been so long that I felt that way that I was actually surprised.

There were more Steambot related games, but they sure weren't sequels. As to the actual sequel, that never came out. From what i know, it wasn't lost in a catastrophe (like the source code to some of Sega's games apparently were to a fire), but simply cancelled along with some other games that had been in the works at the time after being told they couldn't release Disaster Report 4 or something.

My PS3 is loaded with PS2 games, but there's something so fun about physical cases and discs and manuals. 
I also got it, because my childhood fat PS2 died of a short-circuit :( 
I already know kana, I just need to memorize words and some kanji. I'm mostly passively learning, so most of the JRPGs in that box won't be touched in a long while. I'll finish the games I'm most familiar with first. 
I don't think I have to worry about breaks, since most of what I consume is old anime.

An integral part of the PS2 experience was picking out random games from the bargain bin based on their cover. Everybody seemed to do this, and it's what lead many to find those obscure personal games.
Here are two good, but lesser known ones. Rogue Galaxy might as well be Dark Cloud 3, it was the same developer and massively expands the game. Dororo, also known as Blood Will Tell, is a fun action adventure game based around fighting dozes of bosses.
