[@TopherPettitGaming]

I noticed that you are a car racing person, my favorite from the PS2 era that I noticed you didn't have was Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero and 3... the non-Drift game line of games (1 and 2 of the series was on Dreamcast... and again not the Drift series). Racing the Tokyo freeway system, pulling up next to another racer and flash your headlights to race against them through freeway traffic... winner being getting enough separation, area boss racers, car collecting and out running the cops... it really had the elements of current Horizon series, but it was limited by the tech at the time to be that grand.

Ephesians 6:10-20 New International Version The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should

If you dedicated your life to collecting video games, you’d have a huge collection too. I’ve known people like this… they spend a LOT of time looking for games. It’s not some casual thing. I would honestly guess that Jason spend, on average, 10-20 hours a week looking for games. Maybe not anymore considering how many he has at this point but at one time, he was hunting. You have to if you are trying to not use eBay or something. I should state I’m not judging. People should do what makes them happy. Personally, I’ve never loved the hunt like some people. I also don’t like to own games that I’ll never play (and I don’t count popping a game into my system to grab footage for 5 minutes “playing a game”). I treat video games like I do clothes. If I haven’t used it in at least 12 months, I ether ned to sell, donate, or deem it a significant item for it to take up space in my home. Then again, I try to be a minimalist when possible.

The PS2 gives you access to hundred of great games including tons of ps1 games. So many great RPGS, fighters, sh'mups, arcade collections and just plain weird games.

That's awesome how it helped get you into RPG's. Being an early PS2 game, I imagine that's the case with a lot of people.

[@leeartlee915]

It’s interesting how many people claim the PS2 to be their favorite console. Maybe I just didn’t branch out enough when I had the system but when mine broke, I didn’t even bother to buy a replacement system. I just sold my collection off. To be fair, my collection was mainly the obvious titles (think GTA, DMC, and a few odd balls). It’s one of those systems where the popular games have been out done for the most part but the deep cuts/hidden gems are hard to replace. That’s why i wouldn’t mind spinning up an emulator for the system one of these days as I have no interest in getting the original hardware to work on my modern TV (PS2 is notorious for it’s poor video output).

Get you another one and start getting some games back! 3 years ago I got an extreme desire to start playing the PS2 again, being born in 1995, it was basically my entire childhood. I bought a brand new, unopened factory sealed PS2 in 2020 for $450. So worth the price for a brand new one.

One game I feel was missing from your most expensive list would be Steambot Chronicles; fantastic open world, steampunk (If the title didn't give that away), mech game. As of typing this comment the game is worth $164.04. I still go back to play it every now and again.

[@OneShotdeathCrew]

FFX is my favorite as time has passed, I started with 7, loved 8, was not a fan of 9 but X brought me all the way back!

[@stanner6169]

Same, no idea what MJR is talking about saying it's not considered one of the better ones, the game has been re-released continuously for the last 20 years because of how loved it is...

[@arnox4554]

Yeah I don't know what the hell he's talking about. FFX is sitting at a 90 total critic score and a 92 total audience score on Metacritic. I have personally never heard a bad word about FFX. Now, FFX-2 on the other hand...

[@ChannelAboutInvesting]

Metal Jesus, You probably won't see this, but I'd like to apologize to you. I always took you as a Nerdy/Geek/Anime (no disrespect) type of person, but you showed me that you've played all the bangers that I loved as well. Keep Rockin' Jesus!

[@marko6947]

Die Hard: Vendetta is a hidden gem. Great FPS, very funny too.

[@leemyers8292]

Very underrated game, played the hell out of that back in 2004 ? I think it was . A lot of fun !!

[@jamesreece9502]

The Suffering and Painkiller are two of my PS2 faves!

[@jstewlly4747]

Onimusha Dawn of Dreams is one of the best rpg ever and easily best Onimusha game yet has never been release outside PS2 wow

[@mandibiedermann2246]

Yes is very good, but even Onimusha 3 is a great game

[@jstewlly4747]

@@mandibiedermann2246 ikr but you can ONLY PLAY DOD on PS2 the trilogy is on steam i think and a remaster was release for ps4

[@sharebear421]

Wild arms xf, 5, xenosaga 3 I’m super jelly of your rpg collection! They’re all so expensive now

[@HelvecioGomes]

The best console of all time imo.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

THIS 👆

[@Lilugh]

Yes💯

[@bsbznumber1fan]

100% agreed

[@t0p_snek407]

I absolutely love that you had a mention of the getaway series, back when i was younger i wasnt allowed to play the gta titles due to the media saying how violent and brutal they can be but somehow i managed to have these to enjoy. great story and i loved how you played different story lines leading up to certain endings.

[@retrorated]

Great selection of games you picked out there. So many racers to choose from, my favourite being Outrun Coast 2 Coast with those glorious colours and classic arcade gameplay. For FPS games have you tried Darkwatch? I picked it up recently and was very impressed. Thanks for your videos.

[@AxelAlexK]

Sucks that silent hill 3 is so expensive. I remember seeing it all around my local blockbuster when I was a kid. That series was popular when I was a kid, I figured it would be common. I'd really like to play it :/

[@KMACKTIME]

You should check out echo night beyond. Underrated horror title published by Age Tech

[@kommissar1651]

He is showing the Game right at the start.

[@osferrari116]

God Hand is one of my favorite games of all time, and my most played game on PS2 by a mile. There's no other game like this in the history of games, it's just so unique.

[@cgammans]

Does anybody else think Bruce Campbell would have made a great Sully for the Uncharted movie?

[@MorbidVizions]

Absolutely loved Fistful of Boomstick!!! Super big fan of Bruce and the Evil Dead franchise, loved upgrading the chainsaw and getting new weapons and ammo. Played through this multiple times. Just starting to emulate it with 4k graphics and shaders that make it a fresh experience! Thanks for the video brother!

[@DrunkenMasterPaul]

Have you played Regeneration? Tons of fun. A little more linear with easier controls. Boomstick was a hoot, but it took a while for me to get the hang of the controls and had to use a map for some levels. I have Hail to the King on PS1, but the tank controls made it almost unplayable for me.

[@MorbidVizions]

@@DrunkenMasterPaul Holy shit, Drunken Master Paul!! Whats up brother! Man i totally hear you, I tried getting into Hail to the King as well but didnt get too far. The controls and brutal difficulty pushed me away from it. Shame. I actually just picked up Regeneration! Didn't even know it existed. Going to have to run through it this weekend now! I hear you about the maps on Boomstick. I got confused a bit when he goes back in time and had to keep backtracking. Thanks for the heads up Paul! Hope you're doing good! Just found your channel and subbed as well!

[@DrunkenMasterPaul]

@@MorbidVizions Thanks!

[@michaelvivirito]

What I loved most about this gen was it was the last gen without dlc. I feel like dlc ruining gaming to a degree.

[@noUGames]

7:46 I absolutely love these 3 games, such sleepers!

[@BigBoss11121]

Silent Hill 3 is not a hidden gem! it's one of KONAMI's hits do you forgot Silent Hill HD collection? I know it's terrible version, but it was with Silent Hill 2 not SH4 or SH origins it was SH3 I don't know why everyone prefer SH2 maybe because it was a huge renaissance in that time.

[@SHABBY06]

Majority of the Marvel games on the ps2, Ghost Rider, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Hulk Ultimate Destruction are leading the pack, love the collection and love the content 🤘🏽

[@Thollis1987]

Playstation 2 killed the game in the game industry! I still have mine and still play it💋❤❤

[@charliewaibel6976]

MJR you have gotten me through a lot of hospital waiting rooms and DMV lines. Thank you for your entertainment while I go through mundane life responsibilities. Keep up your amazing videos please, you rock. Oh and if you don't have it, you should go pickup Final Fantasy 7 Derge of Cerebrus. Not sure if it's a hidden gem, but I feel like it is. I spent hours playing.

[@martinsauer9403]

Let’s appreciate how good looking and smooth the games were considering PS2 only had like a 300 MHz CPU and 32 MB Ram.

[@martinsauer9403]

@zxbryc I meant in comparison to today’s computers, obviously.

[@WaterKirby__64]

Super awesome video, MJR. The PS2 dominated the 6th generation of video games There are a lot of PS2 games I liked: Tekken 4, Tekken 5, Tekken Tag Tournament, Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil, Soulcalibur II, Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, Virtua Fighter 4, Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution, The Bouncer, Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2, Portal Runner, Super Bust-A-Move, Super Bust-A-Move 2, The Adventures of Cookies & Cream, Gradius III & IV, Gradius V, Suikoden III, Evergrace, Bloody Roar 3, Crimson Sea 2, Looney Tunes: Space Race, Crazy Taxi, Final Fantasy X, Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure and many more Keep up the awesome content 🤠👍🏼

[@EX7RUD1CON]

Ps2 is hands down the best way to experience those gta games especially vice city and San Andreas, every port has seriously sucked.

[@literallyunderrated]

Plus you get the full soundtrack

[@Black01Dragon]

No Final Fantasy 11? That was my first foray into MMORPG’s… soooo many hours lost in that world. Best PS2 memories along with so many that you mentioned. Amazing video… couldn’t agree more that PS2 is the greatest system ever.

[@timvanbaelen9797]

King's Field 4 is one of the best gaming experiences i've ever had in my life. The atmosphere was unique to me.

[@ronpudding9598]

Same here, awesome game.

[@craiganderson7986]

Also known as King’s Field: The Ancient City, the spiritual predecessor to the Dark Souls series. From From!

[@vigridr7614]

I'm fairly confident that I have over 5 thousand hours in Gran Turismo 3 + 4. Me and my brother used to do all the endurance races and take turns while on holiday, the PS2 was our saving grace from an otherwise incredibly boring month of pretending to enjoy beach-going. We were only allowed to pack 5 games and GT3 and 4 were always there, for several years. Plus how could you ever not praise a console that had two of the best games ever made, literally, in Snake Eater and RE4. Great video! My collection is nowhere near as impressive but I'll get there.
