ps2 hidden gems thread?
I'll start by saying robot alchemic drive or R.A.D
For those who don't know it's a Japanese made giant robot versus aliens game. It came out for a western release but within a month all copies where gone off the shelves. Not sure what happened but because of it many people don't know about this awesome game. Story isn't the greatest but giant mecha versus alien battles? Hell yeah!
this is game rad af desu
One of my most favorite games, with some of the laughably worst voice acting i've ever heard. But it only added to the enjoyment.
I was torrenting the undub for a while but it stalled at like 70%, fuck
Nothing as satisfying as launching your enemies through fucking skyscrappers. Pretty much everything can be destroyed wherever you fight.
Sandlot, IREM/Granzilla, FROM Software’s non souls/AC titles.
Play Metal Saga.
bro 100% cringest, bad voice acting but it made it even better lmao.
bruh I got a present for you reddit.com
Yes it's reddit, it's a good source so fuck off faggots. You can find whatever you want here for emulators all virus free.
I'll check it out. Anything special about it?
>Multiple endings galore
>open ended story and gameplay
>tons of tank customizing options to dig your teeth into
it's pretty more a parody of the Mad Max style world and Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest style RPG's with a lot of interesting design choices.

>Tanks have HP, but they aren't 'dead' when that hits zero, instead it lowers the chance of parts breaking when taking damage. If too many critical parts are broken, the tanks are disabled till fixed.
based
sounds like my kind of game.
Ever heard of radiata stories? I would check that out if I where you. Lots of story options and plenty of characters and events you can miss out on. You can only do so much with each playthrough basically but it's fucking amazing too.
The ps2vanias are often overlooked but they have solid gameplay for dmc likes
ps2vanias? You're talking about castlevania right? I was debating trying some of those. I'll give the a second look. Any suggestion on which one to start with?
Don't type like that.
Spy Fiction
Is this multiplayer?
I appreciate the link but this one only has the regular dub which wouldn't be too hard to find normally. I'm not sure where I could find the undub version specifically
How do I get my pcsx2 to look that good on my pc?
I noticed how bad it was after I hit post. Meds can fuck with you hardcore sometimes.
Local multiplayer only
youtube tutorials
PS2 has lot of cool mech game
Ring of Red. Kinda surprised it is underrated the way it is.
well you have to have a beast rig for one. Specs?
Well, of course. Asking because this looks like the kind of thing that would only be fun with another person.
shit, was hoping that source would have it. I'll see if I can dig up something before the thread 404's
yeah, personally I would recommend starting with lament since curse many consider an upgrade from that one, but lament is good as a 3d recreation of classicvanias and it's story is delightfully cheesy. CoD is alot like a 3d metroidvania that still has those ps2 era cheese but Lament always stuck with me more
I have a 1060 and a ryzen 5
one of the best ever
>hidden gems
I don't think they really exist anymore in the age of internet. Lifeline is cool, but basically just remembered for the voice commands nonsense. Disaster Report for being a very interesting survival game set in a city that just hot hit by an earthquake. Dororo: Blood Will Tell as a pretty archetypal action adventure featuring "collect your body parts" as a progression gimmick. Probably more I can't remember.
You should be able to pull some weight with emulation then. I don't know how to do it exactly myself but the offical forums of the psx2 would be the place to find out the specifics.
>ryzen
You'll make it work, but Ryzen is shit for emulation in general. It's one reason someone may actually want to pick up an Intel instead.
Cool, didn't know there was a Dororo game for PS2.
almost rented this at blockbuster once. Is it completely turn based?
Chain Dive
moonland only side scrolling spiderman (with 5+ minute cutscenes)
wish I knew how to play it properly now that I have the internet but maybe theere's some youtube videos
Thanks user ill check it out
I hope zen 2 has the raw power to get decent single-core performance for emulation (it's been said they can do 5ghz single core boost)
My 1600 is still good for essentially everything I need but I might upgrade if the 3600x is as good as it sounds
How well does RAD emulate?
>R.A.D
This game is worth playing for the shitty dub alone.

>Game forces you to fight bosses without your tanks like the two gangs that try to rob the train
I felt so exposed and weak.
>that one mission they paid you a lot of money to protect a supermarket that was putting your childhood friend’s store out of business
You bet I went to the supermarket and punched it until it was destroyed.
>not playing the glorious dub
I'm sure it's a good time but since the game seems to actually be quality I'd rather first play the undub
the dub is one of the best parts about the game
Versus mode only.
>he didn't make Nanao's life a living hell for shits and giggles until she fucking killed herself RIP
RAD is one of my favourite PS2 games.
It does that a few times rather, each other reminding you to gear up on protectors and making good use of the melee/ranged weapons as well. Heck in some cases on foot's a bit stronger then tanks, but once you get to the point where you can mount like 4 main guns and 4 sub guns very little beats your tank options.

radiata stories and samurai western
since this is a ps2 thread i might as well ask. can i get some recommendations for ps2 games? im looking to grab silent hill 2 next but im not sure what i should get after that.
I remember my first playthrough of the game when I was shit. Would keep accidently destroying whereever nanao worked. Either I would step on the bitch by accident, send an enemy flying into her shit. She was in ruined and I fucking hated myself for it.
Name of genres you like. Unless it's only horror suggestions you are after.
im up for most every genre. jrpgs are lower on my list though
I played the fuck out of this series, even modded my PS2 just to play AEUG vs. Titans when it came out in Japan and wasn't localized for NA. I'd say they were the best Gundam games of all time but I honestly haven't played any Gundam games in a decade or more so I dunno of something better has come out since.
gundam battles in space is a good one with lots of content
So this Vol. 2 is actually fun? I checked out gameplays of the first, and it seems very mediocre.
is ps2 emulation not shit yet
Gameplay is mediocre alright but it's Eureka Seven!
