The GTA Collection.Need help deciding on some PS2 games!
sothc, final fantasy x and star ocean are great and really cheap right now
I'm also planning on getting Okami, if you get it first, let me know how it is.
out of your list I would go with Final Fantasy X Dragon Quest VIII and Jak 3
Final Fantasy X, Dragon Quest VIII, and Okami for sure.I have Okami on Wii and its great :)
[QUOTE=''SimoSays2541'']So I recently discovered I had $72 in store-credit to gamestop after purchasing a new PS2 slim. While I had my old PS2 I never really got around to playing many of the great games the system offered, and with my budget tightening and the games getting cheaper, now seems like the perfect opporitunity to play all the games I missed. I need some help deciding on which 3 of the following games to get this week (you're more than welcome to put in your own input as well!):Shadow of the ColossusIco (If I can find it)Final Fantasy XDragon Quest VIIIOkami (Is this really like the Zelda of the PS2)Klonoa 2Jak 3 (is 3 semi-open world like 2?)Ratchet DeadlockedSly Cooper SeriesStar Ocean: Till the End of TimePsychonauts[/QUOTE]Shadow of the ColossusOkamiJak III (Yes, it is semi-open world)I'd pick these out of your list.
Final Fantasy XOkamiJak 3But the rest aren't bad either. Infact, they're excellent (with the exception of Star Ocean which is junk) , so get them when you can afford them.
Dragon Quest VIII is the greatest PS2 game ever. It is also the best RPG ever! IMHOBUY THAT ONE!
So far heres what I'll be getting based on what you guys recommended:Shadow of the ColossusOkamiDragon Quest VIIII didn't choose FFX cause my friend said he'll let me borrow it for the summer, and I'll get Ico if I can find it. (If it's cheap.) When I'm done with those Jak 3 will be the next on my list. Thanks for the help guys, hopefully I'll have time to pick these up tomorrow! :)
Your list is so good that it's hard to chose.
Shadow of the Colossus - Pure awesome but not a long game.
Dragon Quest VIII - My favorite PS2 RPG. It's a very traditional JRPG and you will need to grind alot. You'll encounter random enemies that will wipe out your party.
Okami - A great adventure game
(Jak 3 is a great game and similar to Jak 2)

(unless your into real old school/formulaic RPGs you wont like Dragon Quest VIII. Ive played many RPGs and DQVIII is among my least favorite.) Star Ocean TtEoT is great if youve played the two previous Star Ocean games. If not, you wont understand the story.Outside of this list Id find the GTA collection, Rogue Galaxy, Xenosaga (I and III only. Skip II and read summary of it), Dark Cloud 2 (THIS IS A MUST!), and Tales of the Abyss. I can think on MANY others but you should just stick to these essentials to prevent creating an extensive backlog of games you need to play (I have one of these and it kind of sucks :P)

I was able to manipulate the spells and techniques I learned well enough to beat most enemy encounters as I whent along. That's one of the things I liked so much about it: the balance onf difficulty is perfect because you seem to learn the right spells to strategize your way through battles.
[QUOTE=''SimoSays2541'']I need some help deciding on which 3 of the following games to get this week (you're more than welcome to put in your own input as well!):[/QUOTE]Out of this list I would buy: Ratchet, Sly Cooper Series and Psychonauts. I would also suggest buying God of War 1%262 and Ace Combat 5, Zero and if you like them then Ace Combat 4
Out of that list, only Shadow Of The Collosus... but if I had to say: get the case that sells GTAIII, Vice City and San Andreas as one!!!. Also get Resident Evil 4 and Metal Gear Solid 2 or 3... I would say get 2 first to get a hang of it, then get 3. They are both equally as good games so you can't go wrong either way.
FF10, Okami, Shadow. I hate SoTC's guts and would have liked to recommend R%26C Deadlocked but i think that one was made purely for co-op/versus mode and centered around an arena? I havent played that one. Up your Arsenal is #3 and is what I would have liked to recommend. R%26C Size Matters doesnt really have the same level design as the others because its a psp port but it was still fun and I went through atleast 3 times to unlock stuff.You can not pass up FF10 its one of the top FF games. It has a cool stat building system, a cool weapon building system, and a cool guardian building system. Its just freaking cool. The story will turn your brain to mush and the graphics are great.Okami is a fun game that is very much similar to zelda in that you dont gain stats you just increase your health and get new stronger weapons and learn to do new things and the fighting is action based. The celestial(sp?) brush technique thing is pretty cool to and help you defeat bad guys but you can also use it to defeat all the generic enemies and get these bonus items that you use to unlock upgrades and stuff. This was this one developers(clover) only truly awesome game..People rant and rave about Shadow but I think it was garbage, its ampty and shallow and despite what everyone says its not even close to being one of the most beautiful games on the ps2.DQ8 sucks because it has a lame story, lame graphics (cartoony), and LAME combat. The only thing cool about it is that you can roam around 3d, it has all the familiar monsters from the past DQ games, and the music.If you want some other suggestion check out my signature dude. My #1 suggestion would be Dark Cloud 2. (along with FF10 and even though Okami is great its only good for a once through so I would get something else..)
I only own Dragon Quest VIII and Jak 3 and can vouch for both of them as good games.
Final Fantasy X for absolute sure.Persona 3Persona 4Those last two are not on your list, but they are absolute must plays. Get other games if you want right now, but get those eventually.
I'd go with Psychonauts, Okami and ICO.. and I'll add one that isn't on your listing.. Beyond Good and Evil.. all great games.
