Any PS2 hidden gems?

I found sex to be extremely overrated. Kissing too. I was expecting fireworks and some magical surge of loving energy but it was just rubbing skin together and exchanging bodily fluids. Thats how id describe sex too. I dont think I'm autistic though.

Yeah there's a few

Okage

People that listen to Opeth do not have sex.

If anyone played EDF there is Global Defense Force which is horrifically bad and barely runs at a double digit FPS but back when it released I thought it felt "okay" and only a tiny bit off and now it makes me nauseous.

I noticed most Euro games back in the day felt "off" to me. Especially Mario Kart and Goldeneye.

Play bleach blade battlers 2nd

Dark Cloud 1 & 2 are a must play

Just beat okage like 30 minutes ago. I wouldn't describe it as one of the best PS2 RPGs, but it's definitely the most quirky and unique.

nah, he's go mold instead.....

>autistic metal music starts playing

such an elegant machine. Small, light, simple, massive library. We just did not know how lucky we were.

wait is it normal for autistic people to not like sex? I thought I was just weird

Radiata Stories was, uh, ambitious. Sort of like Suikoden in that it had a boatload of recruitable party members. Semi-action RPG combat system and a plot that went places fast. It's an all-time favorite of mine. Good soundtrack too. Tri-Ace made their name with Star Ocean, but it's their one-off titles that always catch my interest.

Musashi: Samurai Legend. Inferior to the PS1 title it spawned from, it was nevertheless an interesting game with some neat mechanics. Clearly Zelda inspired in some regards, looking back, especially with the various zones with minor puzzle and traversal mechanics and always a boss with an obvious weakpoint at the end, and getting the new elemental sword in each dungeon. That opening was banging, though.

Not sure if this counts, seeing as you can get it on PC easily now, but Project: Snowblind. I read that it was originally meant to be a MP shooter Deus Ex spinoff, which definitely tracks with the aesthetic and weapons and such. Fun little shooter, neat ideas, and the guns were a lot of fun. I remember the shotgun being absolutely top notch, especially with the flechette alt fire.

Cringe

sound pretty autistic to me

Anyone remember Darkwatch? Kind of reminds me of Blood. You're an Old West villainous gunslinger that unleashes an ancient evil vampire, then you get turned into a vampire yourself. Every weapon had a unique melee animation, which I thought was cool. Like the pistol had a karambit style blade at the bottom of the grip, the shotgun had an axe, that kind of thing. There was a morality system of some kind I barely remember a thing about, and there's this rad as hell sequence where you chase a train on your horse that's also a vampire or thrall or whatever, and you can use him as cover because apparently being a vampire horse removes your concerns regarding bullets.

Did you see the Evil West trailer? We goin home Darkwatch bros

Best 2D games for PS2?
I am a NES guy that loves platformers like Bucky Ohare

So be it

Ace Combat

many, but in japanese only

Kangaroo jack

Just watched it, it looks great! I've got high hopes the gameplay will live up to it, Flying Wild Hog's a talented crew.

I mean kao the kangaroo

Lol

Any of the armored core games

If you don't mind some jank Maken Shao Demon Sword is a remake of a Dreamcast game called Maken X.
If you're into the PS2 Atlus period it has Meguro on the OST and based Kaneko on character/enemy design.
