My mom is 81 years old and she still play sly cooper. I bought her all three.its kinda funny because when I was a teen in the 80’s and playing the Commodore 64. I could not get my mom or dad to play games with me. It wasn’t till she hit her late 60’s that she started playing games. She started playing them on the Ps1.

The PS2 is the last great traditional videogame console. The one that had a huge list of top tier exclusives that played as a console game. After it, Sony and MS kept forcing that "PC-lite" format (when their consoles became just underpowered PCs with worst multiplataform versions and mostly a 100% of minor exclusives, with eventually some big title... and Nintendo still do traditional consoles, but they lack on multiplataform, most of their exclusives have the same "Nintendo-vibe" (that is all or nothing, depending on what you like) and their hardware became a budget last gen with current gen price-tags

PS2 is such a nostalgic console for me. Lots of memories playing with my family. Crash Team Racing Nitro Kart, Guitar Hero, and Shrek 2 were our most played games. Wasn't until more recently that I dug it back out and started getting into more single player games like Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, etc. Such a phenomenal console with banger after banger.

I got great news about the situation. We found a new place for rent its a whole house slightly cheaper than the apartment we had before got to keep all three of our dogs it's in a much better neighborhood and the best part is we are literally next door to my older brothers house.

The original Sly Cooper is in my top 10 favorite games of all time. I just adore the very Nintendo-esque level design and the super quick paced gameplay. The one-hit gimmick for both the player and the enemies is genius. The sequels never clicked with me the same way, but I replay Sly 1 every year and I have since I got the game (which was ironically near the tail end of the PS2 era, despite being my kindergarten console I didn't get Sly until I was nearly in middle school).

@@GoodVibeCollecting I've played through Sly 2 a few times and I honestly struggle to see why people love it so much. Like, I won't stop anyone from enjoying it, but my least favorite genre of game is easily "mid-2000s platformer that's too insecure to stick to a few gameplay mechanics so it throws a billion half-baked ones at you and they all sorta suck". Like I legit don't think any part of the game is fun, it's all so tedious and repetitive.

I still remember how amazed I was at Final Fantasy X when I first saw it. But I must admit one of the biggest reasons I bought a PS2 way back when was for Castlevania Lament of Innocence. Also Jak 2 looked cool as hell to me and was a big reason. Also Ratchet and Clank games were some of the first I played as well... The PS2 just has so many... crazy how far PlayStation has fallen.

Cool thing about owning a PS2 is the mold of the console as it was ATARI that wanted to make a come back, but for whatever reason it backed down. The molds were all ready made in bulk & Sony bought the mold design. So the PS2 has the greatness of Sony with an outer shell of an ATARI design. Like a Wolf in Sheep Clothing. A must own console in my opinion for any Retro Fan! Did not know Maximo was a Ghost n Goblins Video Game! What? I will have to check that game out for sure! Underwear power before Captain Underpants!

I'm sure there's a whole sea of Japanese PS2 exclusives like Espgaluda out there for me to enjoy. I'd like to nominate The Red Star for obscure PS2 game recommendations, solid bombastic twin-stick shooter, utterly ruined by very shaky release circumstances. Acclaim went bankrupt before it was released, and the game sat in limbo until 2007.

I love the PS2. Why not post a few of my favourites Gradius V - The great swansong for Konami's beloved shooter series, it's a treat. I'm not a big shoot 'em up guy, but something about Gradius really clicks with me. The old weapon upgrade system remains, but the rewards for holding onto a life is possibly at its best here. Over the top presentation, and wild cavernous environments throughout. God Hand - A divisive one, but I've got so much respect for it. It disregards every trope of action game design that wasn't to Shinji Mikami's personal interest, and just makes something riotously dumb and thrilling. The game's difficulty adapts to how well you're playing, constantly keeping you on edge, while encouraging you through its most intense sequences. The ability to completely customise your moveset means you can develop a playstyle that's entirely unique to you. I've never played anything quite like it. Mashed - I haven't played this in a long time, so perhaps I ought to be more careful about recommending it, but I feel it's fairly unique and underrated. A Micro Machines-style top down racer, only with more intricate racetracks. Rocky cliffs and branching paths. Accessible and thrilling 4-player stuff. Taito Legends 2 - A bit of a cheat, but I think it's worth noting how good the PS2 is for retro compilations. This is my personal favourite, containing a few PS1-era arcade titles on top of a heap of eighties and early nineties stuff. Great variety, a bunch of fantastic games, and a lot of funny, weird ones. A great thing to dig around and have fun with. SSX Tricky - This takes a little practice to figure out the quirks of its controls, but when you get there, there's little that can compete with it. A brilliant risk/reward dynamic, as you try to pull off the biggest moves you can to build a bigger boost meter. Wild, ridiculous courses throughout. Gloriously loud and obnoxious, with its Mix Master Mike soundtrack and iconic Run DMC title track. I still come back to it every now and then, and happily lose entire evenings to it.

Mr Bird, I just started watching you this year, a few months ago. I want you to know that when you get big and revive that silver play button, you got DiddyKongVsLuigi in your corner. I’m sure you’re more or less aware of what’s going on with a certain beard man and I gotta say, it’s killing me see someone I have been entertained by for so long get burned to a crisp by the internet that once loved him. The same “fans,” that shook his hand and asked him to sign their merchandise are now saying mean things to him and… Well, that’s neither here nor there. In any case I wanted you to know that I will stick by you until you hang up your “Get on my lawn,” hat and eat your last banana. I am a fan, and a true fan never abandons his team. You stick with it even when things are at their worst, and if you have to go down with the ship, so be it. 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌❤ (Sorry for the sappy mushiness, I’m just in that loyal soldier mood cus it’s Christmas time and I’m having a great week, not counting the bearded elephant in the room.

These sorts of videos always make me stop and think about which games I actually go back to and play time and again, and it sadly shows that I'm not a big fan of the PS2 (or that generation, really). There are a handful that I do really enjoy going back and playing, but when I take compilations of old arcade games put of the equation, it shrinks down dramatically. I do love the shooters, and ESPGaluda there is aces. I liked Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou as well, and Homura, Ibara, and Gradius V all get a little bit of love. I had a lot of fun with Twinkle Star Sprites: The Petite Princess. The Sega Ages 2500 versions of Gain Ground and Alien Syndrome call me back once in awhile, and Quartet as well. I think that the domestic games I think of most fondly were The Red Star and Chulip. Chulip is just endearing, and The Red Star may be the best "hidden gem" type of game on the system. There are other games I like, but not that I go back to regularly enough to count them as all-time favorites. That generation just isn't my favorite all around (Dreamcast aside), probably because I'm just old. When I think of the PS2 overall, my fondest memories are of the arcade compilations and calling in sick at work in my early 20s to play the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo packed with Zone of the Enders. I had more fun playing that demo over and over than the final game itself.

DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3, KOF 98 UM, Teenage Mutante Ninja Turtles 1, 2, 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1,2 and Final Fight Streetwise. Ah, the Memories. PS2 is so great.

Somehow, some WAY, NBA Street Vol. 2 ALWAYS finds its way back into my PS2 regularly. Best entry in the series and they caught lightning in a bottle with that one.

Cool vid, I've honestly never given the PS2 a lot thought I guess. It definitely has a solid library, and the games on your list are definitely all great. I spent most of my PS2 time on Guitar Hero and God of War, so both of those would be on my list. Arcana Heart, Okami, Odin Sphere, and Shadow of the Colossus would round things out for me.

Sly Cooper 1 is my top “nostalgic favorite” that for some reason I don’t currently own. The PS2 library is just full of amazing games…

Great picks! I really need to try the Klonoa series and import some of those ps2 japan shmups. I have the original Time crisis but really need to try the PS2 ones. I’m big into Horror games and Rpgs. 5 I own that I enjoy playing are Wild Arms 5, Obscure, Haunting Ground, Rule of Rose, and Kuon. Not the most popular by any means but I enjoy them quite a bit.

Picked up Klanoa 2 recently, loving it so far. Another game that I would mention would be Ghosthunter.

So, I just reached the end of the video and realized I didn't listen to a single word because I was lost in some stupid Twitter argument. I was mad. Then I rewound the video (can you rewind a digital video?), watched it while holding my cat, and laughed at the silly gags while nodding my head in agreement. Now I'm not mad. Lesson? Watch more positive KZbinrs who want to encourage positive conversation, and spend less time arguing on social media after being baited by people who post things just to get paid off of your engagement. Have a lovely evening and weekend, Retro Bird.

Sly Cooper was such a great game that I played it all the way through despite the fact that the y axis could not be inverted.
