    I love how enthusiastic you are about gaming. It just feels like a friend wanting to share something that genuinely makes them happy.
  • @volvoguy804
    I'm sure this list was tough! The PS2 has such a large library with many great titles. I've been playing a lot shmups on the system, Castle Shikigami 2, Xll Stag, and Gradius 5.

    American here. Can confirm jealous of the ICO box art
  • @evgaming9390
    Many of us who grew up with Nintendo were blinded by PS2. It wasn't until PS3 that I started getting PS2 games. Then I realized what I had missed
  • @ThisBenners
    Lots of inspiration for games to try, thanks!
  • @Nyedav
    Yes you mentioned Klonoa, love that series so much! I still remember playing the demo disc 🙏
  • @joset814
    I remember 2005 playing ps2 after school ... Nostalgia 🎉
  • @OGgangsta32
    I share a lot of the same memories as you for some of these games. Ys was also picked up on a whim, having never heard of the series it blew my mind. Star Ocean till the end of time turned me into a die hard Star Ocean fan as well. Awesome ps2 list, picked up Ridge Racer V this past weekend at my local swap because of you.
  • @Grawbad
    Just discovered your channel. You always seem so happy in the videos. Not used to that. Makes me feel better when watching the videos. 13 Sentinels is good BTW. Great story. Also, their newest game Unicorn Overlord is my favorite game this year so far.
  • @spahno
    I just found out about your channel and I never heard of Mana Khemia 🙈 I‘ll definitely check it out
  • @megadethantho98
    Amazing video once again Nick ! I just discovered your podcast and I really like your content, keep going please !! 🙏
  • @Friedchunk
    What an awesome and idiosyncratic list! Your top games videos are the best around. My own list would be completely different (although I would have Burnout 2) but I love that you personalise and justify every choice so well and your passion always comes across. By the way, what is your experience with the Metal Gear Solid games? I notice you never talk about them so I assume you're not a big fan, but just curious.
  • @bjornh1527
    Great to hear about your personal favourites! A PS2 list feels almost impossible to do with such a vast library. But my top game would probably be Soul Calibur III. I spent so much time creating characters and doing the Chronicles mode! High on my list I would also place game collections like Taito Legends/ Taito Memories…
  • What an amazing system the PS2 with such an incredible library. Final Fantasy and YS are also some of my favourite series and I’d also add the Sly Cooper 1, 2 and 3, Ratchet & Clank and Dragon Quest VIII. Great list.
  • @smallpaul2923
    Ahh the flow state. Only one for me was wipeout on the ps1. I can't remember which version but the one with the dance tracks on it. When you had mastered the air brakes and could drift the craft around the corners with precision there was literally no better feeling!!!!!! Great video mate!!
  • @BB-te8tc
    Great list! I haven't played enough PS2 games to really come up with a list of 15 favourites, but everything here looks appealing and there's a diverse range of genres available here. I tend to stick to JRPGs and Rockstar titles for Sony consoles, but I definitely missed out. If I had a favourite, it'd be Wild ARMs 3. It's definitely not the best JRPG out there, and it's a bit awkward, but it has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's arguably my favourite game.
  • @Vprod.
    Great content as always! Genuine personalities are a dying breed on the modern internet.
  • Thanks for the Mana Khemia and Ar Tonelico 2 recommendations. PS2 has my favorite JRPG ever made in Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne as well as some other S-Tier bangers like Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tuner, Persona 3 FES, Persona 4, and Dragon Quest VIII so awesome to see recommendations for some more great JRPG that I hadn't heard of before.
  • @dahubbzgaming
    Your friend had some good taste. Ico, Ratchet and Clank, Dark Cloud, Jak and Daxter, and Onimusha are some of my favorites.
