[@mrdudetou]

I got Haunting Ground ,Xenosaga Episode 3 (I do have Episode 1 & 2) and others on other consoles. The one that is worth the most in my collection is the Last of Us Postpandemic Edition Complete with everything. Worth $1,207.28 according to Price Charting.

@@user-no5jz3vg3j at least one episode can be a remastered version but only if Bandai Namco willingly to remake their games like Baten Kaitos 1/2 got a remastered. I think remaking those games only happen if there's a promotion for the upcoming newer title.

Xenosaga 2 killed any hopes for a longer series. It led to the devs wrapping the story up in just one more installment, and the last half feeling very rushed. Still breaks my heart, as episode 1 is an absolute joy to play.

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

@@simeontrivium I would say it is, to a point. If a game is intentionally vague or misleading, that can be frustrating. When it comes to psychological thrillers, I'm more invested in how the imagery makes me feel.

[@auticomics]

Garfield has been popular in europe for ages. a douzen gargfield translated comics are daily in the newspapers here, let alone all the comicbooks pochets agenda's etc

[@ReverendTerry]

I still have my physical copy of Obscure and still love the game

[@Externica]

Still own the original copies of Haunting Ground, Obscure and Kuon. Haunting Ground got my sister and I interested when we read the brief summary on the back of the game. When we had enough to buy it, we were surprised it was all about running away from the enemies. Needless to say, it got me hooked back in the day. I still remember that I've beaten and played through it countless of times. I could go through the game in no time and even managed to go through sections only meeting the stalker when the game forced them on me. Kuon is a game I got from the discount bin for 20,00 Euro. The German translation og the game was an absolute train wreck. At times, it was just word salad that barely made any sense. Not much stuck with me. Maybe I'll plug in my PS2 and give it another spin. Though I did like the unlckable Backgammon minigame. Rule of Rose is also a game I would have loved to play myself. Should have looked up a store that shipped to Germany, as PAL copies were only distribted in one or maybe two countries. People that did play it said it was incredible clunky. Prices for the PAL version are even worse than Kuon.

[@jensenraylight8011]

Haunting Ground was ground breaking, the mechanics was ahead of time, you'll genuinely get panicked when playing the game. too bad, the game didn't do well, because it could potentially be one of the hit title like Resident Evil

[@punisha4032]

Xenosaga 3 is over $100, that's insane, thank God i still had this game physically.

[@nahthanksno8299]

OMG ok we need to talk about the opening minutes of the Futurama game. One of my literal favorite moments from that show comes from the cutscene that plays after you die for the first time. The game introduces its extra lives system by having a clone of Fry pop out of a machine. The Prof explains its function and then casually admits that he’s been trying to kill you for days just to test it. “Oh my, yes.” Absolutely killed me the first time I saw it.

[@theanimeguy13ify]

They're some other PS2 games that are still common and easy to find, like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Gran Turismo 3, Gran Turismo 4, Madden NFL 2005, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XII, MLB 06: The Show, God of War, God of War II, etc.

[@fritzzorn9086]

There are also a ton of more obscure PS2 games that are still very affordable. One of my favorite strategy games of all time is Dai Senryaku VII, and you can still find this game for about $10.

[@CRAZYCANUCKTV]

I have actually been playing Futurama lately, a major hidden gem

[@_JPlays_]

I absolutely adored the .hack games on the PS2 back in the day. Very original concept + they came with an anime disc (per game). If you were big on MMO's back then, then these games were a must play.

[@rhinox9292]

Never even gave them a glance(I blame bad marketing) until until I saw the .Hack vol 1 retrospective by KNIJohn

[@_JPlays_]

@rhinox9292 yeah was zero marketing of the game that I'm aware of. I only found the game by chance, and quickly became quite obsessed with it for a good while. Be warned that getting through all 5 games requires a massive time investment.

[@chrisihrke1021]

Not really. It was hated for being a short episodic jrpg and not a MMORPG. Worked for sword art online but even the .hack anime is just cult status mostly remembered for it's amazing soundtrack. At no one said it sucked

[@_JPlays_]

@@chrisihrke1021 I didn't say it was a MMO. It was HEAVILY inspired by them. Totally a singleplayer only experience, but a simulation of a MMO with 100% NPCs no actual players. So if you were really into World of Warcraft or Everquest back when this series of games was released, then be right up your alley. If not though, then sure you'd not get it at all and likely not enjoy it.

[@guitarheroplayer-fs5js]

i had Futurama as a kid. never got far into it though.

[@jerricacw8876]

whoa... I still have my old .hack and Xenosaga games.. never played anything much beyond the first disc of either.. but have both full sets (DVD's included in .hack)... had no idea they had any value at all tho... pristine shape too (I just checked on them) and it looks like the .hack original series in general has a pretty good price tag.. I've been sitting on this all along.. lol and here I thought my rarest game was the Metroid Prime Trilogy steal book..

[@lonewolffang]

"By somehow, some miracle..." I just so happened to have that miracle. Still in great condition too. I have all of them minus Garfield, Ocean Commander, and Futurama(a friend I know has a copy). I believe these should be given a second chance by re-physical, remake/remaster, or digital download.

[@newgameaaaa]

If you have a lot of those rare games, how many PS2 games do you have?

Playstation 2 is one of most greatest consoles ever maded and solded, I still have Ps2 today and play with that, we founded old Ps2 games from our home, there was Ape Escape, Shrek Treasure hunt, Lilo and Stitch a problem in paradise, Crash team racing and Crash Bash what really surprised me, there was much other games but I just remembered these games names. Mojoplays thank you for this video about rare ps2 games, I'll think we have one rare Ps2 game what is Smarties candy platforming game. 🔥🔥

And thanks to this video this rare games are even more expensive 😂. Same deal every time a big YT channel makes a video about rare comics or trading carts.

[@emanueletintori1229]

I am just so blessed to have bet on Kuon, back to the ps2 age, when none did not do it before. Because I was actually looking for an alternative j-horror game similar to Project Zero/Fatal Frame saga myself. It is smply one of the best and grimmest feudal japanese ghosts games imho. I love the settings of it, it is as spooky as hell, and it has got 3 different endings according by the chara you choose. I am still playing it time to time and I never get bored of it though. I wish that From Software will make a remaster of it, by including a new game plus mode though someday! .🙏🏻❤

[@Zeldachief128]

The over-exaggeration of some of these game values is real. It's videos like these that cause people to think what they have is worth more than what it actually is. Hint to anyone reading this...don't look at what people are trying to sell the game for...look at how much it ACTUALLY sold for. No your misprinted Mario on Wii U is not worth $10,000

[@alonfaifer]

Ocean Commander was released in the UK for the PS2 too but it is far more rare than the Italian copy.

[@jackfrostingtonerly1891]

I have a few of these: Samurai Western, Xenosaga 3, Haunting Ground. I have Futurama, but on the Xbox. And a few other games mentioned in other rare game videos. The thing is, a lot of rare games are that for a reason... I bought all three Xenosaga games at the same time (when GameStop actually had games on their shelves), but only ever played the first... for a couple hours. I couldn't get into it. It was more like watching a movie/show rather than playing a game as there were so many long cutscenes that it just bored me into quitting and not looking back.

[@barbateilucianalex1859]

i have Haunting ground ,rbought in 2017 all new from the largest online store in Romania but now they don't have it in stock.I watched walktrough videos about this game because i never believed i will have it.

If I could travel through time, I would go back to the day Kuon released, buy like 3 or 4 copies, come back, and sell them and I would be rich!

[@soccerj75]

They might be uncommon or have a low print run, but the fact remains that these games were god awful and i find it truly baffling that people would spend hundreds of dollars on trash just to have it sit on a shelf for bragging rights.

[@Gynkyspongd]

[@davidhart712]

I never thought that back when I bought Xenosaga 3, new, that it was going to be one of my most rare games I own. Same with Path of Radiance (though that's a Gamecube game). However, I think that Xenosaga 3 was going to be the end of that storyline regardless of how it sold. I think after the sales of Part 1 and 2, the developers were told 3 was going to be the last game in the series instead of it being a 6 part installment. However, I really liked Xenosaga 3, even if it felt rushed. It was hard for me to put down at the time when I first played it because I was always interested in what was going to happen next. If it wasn't for the positive reception I heard from fans at the time about Episode 3, I probably would not have finished Episode 2.

[@yusiko2843]

episode 3 really stuck the landing and was the best in the trilogy. and you are half right. episode 3 was always going to be the end of shions story arc. episode 4 5 and 6 would have had a massive time skip with a new lead character with only KOSMOS being in all 6 games and there wasnt anything wrong with episode 1s sales. it was one of the best selling games of its release year. it was episode 2s poor reception that killed the planned series but thankfully the 3 games together tell a complete story
