Ever since I got a PS2 in November, I've been on a mad rush to get a slew of PS2 games that have been labeled classic or damn entertaining. Since I can also play PSX games now, I need some recommendations.

So far, I've been trying to lay my hands on some Capcom fighting games like Rival Schools, some off-beat games like Gundam Battle Assault, and a futile pursuit to get both FF Chronicles and Anthology so I can relive my old SNES days. So, can anybody throw me some fighting/RPG games from the olden days?

Rongi · #2

Get a dreamcast you bastard

Zbu Manowar · #3

You mean another one?

I got one back when a PS2 cost around $300. And I still have it...and let me tell you, it's worth it to dig out a DC version of Capcom vs SNK 1 for it instead of that bastardized version that was forced onto the PSX. Of course, if you got any recommendations for DC games and a place to buy them, I'm all ears. Go nuts.

Anyway, back to PSX games....

Get:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Good luck finding it)
Final Fantasy Origins (FF1 and FF2? w00t)

Don't get:

Strider 2 (I swear to God it's so easy a blind man can beat it)

I'm not sure if you have this or not but get Soul Calibur. It's the greatest 3D fighter ever made

.

As far as PSX goes, Threads Of Fate, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Parasite Eve (well...I liked it at least :/) are all over looked, yet good titles

Zbu Manowar · #6

Soul Calibur? Of COURSE I got that! I sacrificed a DC version of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for it and I've never regretted it. Is Namco stiill planning to completely shaft a PS2 version of Calibur 2 or are they going to come to their senses soon?

Rongi · #7

Dunno

. I myself am getting the Xbox version because gamecube isn't really the best system to buy a fighter for and the PS2 version of anything isn't always the best choice (loading times, graphics, etc.). Besides, if I want to play as Link in a fighter, I'll go rent SSB:melee again.

Is threads of fate the one where you can play a guy or a girl and they've got different abilities or something? I vaguely remember something like that.

Rongi · #9

Yup

. The guy could turn into enemies you've killed, and the girl used magic according to some sort of pendants. That game was so damned fun. I wish I still had it

.

Zomboid · #10

Yeah, I wanted to get a psx like 10x more because of how good that game looked. I never did play it though

Ninjavenom · #11

KOF99. You must own it. You HAVE to. Castlevania Chronicles is also good, as well as Tenchu, Project Overkill, and Armored Core. Fort more nostalgia, Mega Man 8.

Rongi · #12

I use to have mega man8

. fun game

Zbu Manowar · #13

The PSX port for Mega Man 8 must be better than the SNES version. For some reason Mega was three times bigger than his NES or X versions and was blocky as fuck. Speaking of which, what's the consensus on X5 and X6?

Rongi · #14

Megamanx5 and 6 sucked ass. X4 was fun though.

Rongi · #15

edit: fucking double post

Get Megaman Legends. That game rules.

I've heard that's the same thing as megaman 64. If so, it's way too easy but very, very fun.

Ninjavenom · #17

I hated Legends so much, it's not even funny. Mainly because ig ot stuck in town when Tron Bonne was supposed to show up. And yes, x5 sucked major ass.

Mockery · #18

Hrm, I'd recommend any of the following for the PSX:

-Loaded (not the Re-Loaded sequel)
-Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night
-Bushido Blade (I always loved playing it against friends for hours)
-Battle Arena Toshinden 1 or 3
-Star Wars Masters of Teras Kasi
-Worms Armageddon
-Resident Evil 2 and 3
-Metal Gear Solid

and.....

-Skeleton Warriors

Zbu Manowar · #19

My friend had Reloaded for the PC way back in 1998 or such. That's the one with the bounty hunters, right?

Ninjavenom · #20

I'd forgotten all about Teras Kasi. :O

Cap'n Crunch · #21

Get Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Its not really hard to find. This store Bj's sells it for 10 bucks brand new. Also I would get FF7, NOT SHITTY ASS 8. I would also buy Hello Kitty Pinball. If you have enough time get Kiss Pinball and Power Ranger's pinball. THIS IS A GODDAMN JOKE. Except Castlevania and FF7.

Blood Serpent · #22

Well if you`re PS1 is modified, here are some games that I recommended:

Sonic Wings Limited
KOF 96-98
Samurai Shodown 1 and 2
Metal Gear Solid Intergal
