I'd add the Xenosaga trilogy to that at least. Also Red Dead Revolver, Donald Duck Quack Attack, Katamari Damacy, Rayman 3 and YS Origin

[@J.Panxer]

Did you ever play Bushido blade or Soul of the Samurai?

[@wobbuffet8357]

All games Synth won't play anymore ever since the MOLD made him addicted to slop

[@kiddynamite3984]

Ps2 is so cozy. It's like what game consoles were building to since my childhood. Image the games we could be playing right now.

[@mystriddlery]

5:10 nice

[@J.Panxer]

Codename Veronica: "You crossdressing FREAK!". LOL Almost died laughing. Where is Deadname Domain now?

[@planetzdr]

5:46 Tarzan Untamed!!! You unlocked a nostakgia game from my childhood that I have long forgotten. So many good memories.

[@franciscobugatti5279]

41:17 I don't care what people says, I think that is the most based opinion ever about annoying bosses. I find more lucid someone who quits an annoying boss, over that someone who enjoys dying with the same enemy over and over again.

PS2 era was also the golden age for racing games Need for speed underground 1 and 2 Need for Speed Most Wanted Need for Speed Carbon Need for Speed Pro Street Grandturismo 4 Test Drive Unlimited MTX ATV Unleashed.

[@joshuaandrewson3091]

The Burnout Games, Flatout, ATV, Colin McRae's, Midnight Club, Test Drive, Juiced, Rumble Racing. holy shit dude PS2 was basically the experimental ground for the racing genre.

[@wobbuffet8357]

I've been messing around with ps1 and ps2 emulators lately, thanks for this list of games I might of missed

[@eugenekrabs2403]

The inclusion of R34 Nanako caught me off guard 💀💀💀

[@husky6672]

it's actually the evidence of why she is the real killer

[@Saikapath]

Since Dynasty Warriors 4 is shown in this video, I would personally put in Samurai Warriors 1 as well. The game is just as dark as Dynasty Warriors 4 is, and the fantastic movesets and the mechanics (like rolling, double jumping for ninjas, and when you get into a standoff, you'll do damage to your enemy if you dominate the standoff) makes Samurai Warriors 1 worthy enough to be considered peak of gaming.

[@JJahdiel]

This is a pretty cool idea, Husky. I like this format more than the Crowbcat one about the Xbox 360. I hope you can do a Part 2 on this or an OG Xbox version of this too

[@husky6672]

@@JJahdiel I going to do PS1, PS3, and even PS4. looking back, ps4 at least still has few gems. ps5 is pretty much nothing other than astro bot.

[@JJahdiel]

@@husky6672 Oh man, you've got your work cut out for you, but at least PS4 will be quicker to make than PS2 and PS3. Keep it up and good luck dude

[@riverblack123]

I miss the 2000s era of edgy games with cool edgy main characters.

[@perunplague9794]

I unironically do too, can’t stand all this quirky color-barf self referencing crap they have nowadays

[@tidiatda313]

I think SNES and PS1 were the absolute peak, but I have come to appreciate PS2 more over the years, but not nearly as much, btw you mixed up DMC and DMC3

[@koichitrump4147]

Don't forget about Digital Devil Saga 1&2

[@riverblack123]

Bully is a fucking masterpiece.

[@KiwiFemboy]

thoes were the days

[@NipahAllDay]

I wished I grew up on the PS2 and PS3. I was always more of a Nintendo and a bit of an Xbox guy in my middle and highschool year.

[@flynn1545]

Opens with Armored Core. K-Kinoge...

[@gldntchr7122]

100% PS2 was peak. Backwards compatible made it so much better. Was also a solid DVD player for those that remember. Can still get most of the games at reasonable prices. I'm not paying £60 to get politically lectured anymore.

[@xarioskane]

The ps3 was peak too

[@noobtubephails]

Why no 2009 PS2?!!!!!!!!11111111

[@husky6672]

@@noobtubephails The most notable game I found in 2009 for PS2 is ''Ni Hao, Kai-Lan: Super Game Day!''

[@maskva-u6f]

Why no monster Hunter on list?

[@J.Panxer]

Did your starberg video get taken down?

[@Alexander-nc4vy]

I think I like the OG Xbox more, but maybe it’s because I only have two PS2 games. Any suggestions?

[@husky6672]

depends on what genre you like. Silent Hill, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet and Clank series are PS2 classics if you haven't played them.

[@J.Panxer]

Resident Evil 2, Silent Bomber, Robotech Battlecry, Test Drive 5, Predator: Concrete Jungle, Max Payne, XIII- to start. I think some are ps1, but backwards compatible, or you can emulate them for free.

[@Alexander-nc4vy]

@@husky6672 Thanks.

[@Alexander-nc4vy]

@@J.Panxer I actually have Resident Evil 2 & 3. Haven’t beaten them yet, but they are pretty good.

[@riverblack123]

Tell me what you like to play and I can give you some recommendations. Is it open world? Rpg? Hack n slash?

[@popohater88]

MGS2 is better than MGS3.

[@RyuSaarva]

ps1 era is better.

[@magicjohnson3121]

"Peak of Gaming" shows cutscenes instead of gameplay.

[@husky6672]

@@magicjohnson3121 The zoomer mindset of ''actually I know the gameplay just by watching, I don't even play video games.'' Go watch zeroneedscoffee or smth lmao
