Top Ten Playstation 1 Games | The Completionist

[@darkwater124]

Kinda weird to not see a game on this list that starts with an M and rhymes with Petal Dear Stolid.

[@devong1838]

Yeah I suppose. The first one had some issues to work through though.

[@L33PL4Y]

Jirard isn't very familiar with the series. He's only played the first MGS, and he didn't play it until he had to complete it for the show, and completing it made him hate it because of how hard it is to get the Big Boss ranking. So his first experience with the game was really sour and it's a bummer that he'll never be able to appreciate it in full because of that.

[@Collin255]

darkwater124 MGS wouldn't be in my top either, although I think the games are good, I just don't see why so many people have it as #1 on there lists. But with that being said, I'm surprised as well to not see it on this list lol

[@L33PL4Y]

It's so many people's number 1 because MGS pushed video games forward as an art form more and broke more new ground in the entire industry than any other PlayStation game. Kojima literally set out to make the greatest PlayStation game of all time, it was his goal. And he absolutely succeeded.

[@hissnakeissolid2827]

Yeah, he's still whining how hard it was

[@SneezyKeegz]

"My mom is the best and I'm a shithead." I know that feeling all too well.

[@NeoMCHenry]

Nice list. Mine would be: 1 - Chrono Cross 2 - Vagrant Story 3 - Final Fantasy IX 4 - Metal Gear Solid 5 - Final Fantasy VIII 6 - Final Fantasy Chronicles (FF IV and Chrono Trigger) 7 - Alundra 8 - Resident Evil 2 9 - Tomba 2 (don't judge me) 10 - Resident Evil 3

[@toretronio9030]

Henry Perez Just for you to know, there's a ps1 version of chrono trigger.

[@mneri84]

Xenogears wasn't an easy game to find in 1999 it wasnt until the GH release, and really the PSN release that it became accessible to most RPG gamers.

[@p1CM]

I was lucky enough to find a copy that I hold dear even to this day, and I just bought it because it had a Mecha on it, boy I was dumbfounded.

[@TheFury2o0o]

Finally, someone else who acknowledges Chrono Cross! It's so rarely talked about. I can virtually guarantee that if Jirad had played it, it would be in his top 5.

[@UltimateDrDoom]

Henry Perez I dunno. CC had a mess of characters that didn't actually make sense as to why they joined up. And the ending disk is significantly shorter than the first one. However. Miguel's fight and theme music is amazing. I enjoyed the shit out of the game but it is flawed.

[@kadajsnightqueen]

You do make one helluva list! But here's my list... 10. Persona 9. Chrono Cross 8. Xenogears 7. CTR: Crash Team Racing 6. Spyro the Dragon: Year of the Dragon 5. Crash Bandicoot: Warped 4. Parasite Eve 3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 2. Final Fantasy VII 1. Legend of Dragoon

[@Collin255]

That beggining talk about being a Nintendo fanboy is one reason why I respect and like you, because I agree completely. People always talking about "console wars" and how PC is better than consoles, it's just dumb. Why can't people just play what they love, like I LOVE Nintendo mainly for there early years( SNES might be my fav console ever, at least one if them) but then the PlayStation came along and I've stuck with them ever since( with the exception of the Nintendo DS.) So I've never owned any Xbox, and I'm not much of a PC gamer, but that doesn't mean I hate them or think they're bad, I just am a PlayStation guy. Like if someone got me an Xbox One for Christmas even tho I've never owned a single Xbox console in my life, I'd be excited, cause I'm sure it's an amazing console. Because, like you said, I JUST LOVE VIDEO GAMES IN GENERAL.

[@Collin255]

PS: Props for putting FF Tactics on the list, Final Fantasy is my favorite series of all time, and FF Tactics and FF VII are probably my two favorite games of all time! with FF X and FF IX right behind them! Great list, keep it up man!

Yes play it! I tested the demo version and it the jumping doesn't realy feel like the original, so it's kinda a different game^^

[@alextownley9388]

Retro Gamer Love they literally remade the game's from the ground up. Plus they added some new features such as adding time trials to the first two games. They're remakes not remasters. When Jak & Daxter was ported to the PS3 that is a true remaster.

[@robertgosney6753]

fair enough but for all the times where I have seen people praising the PS1 and the games for it and for all the times I have seen people saying that it beat the N64 there are still only about 3 or 4 games on this list that I would be willing to put on a top 20 list for the N64 if they had came out on the N64 and honestly of all the games that came out on the PS1 I can't think of any that I would be willing to put ahead of FF7 nor would I be willing to put any N64 games ahead of Ocarina of Time they were both masterpieces when they came out. And although there are idoits these days that will say they are horrible because they "look bad" compared to todays standards. Breath of the Wild just came out and its getting perfect scores from almost everyone reviews it but I figure in 15 to 20 years there will be people saying it is overrated or awful because its graphics probably won't be able to compete with whatever they look in 15 to 20 years sorry for the rant.

[@Ubu90]

4 was also ALOT harder

[@eastwestminds]

cool boarders two was the first ever video game i ever played. when i heard that music kick in, my mouth widened. god bless you jirard

[@grey_wulf]

You do you bro. You like what you like,. You have no need to justify your opinions and what you enjoy. Let the haters hate. The rest of us will enjoy your content.

[@Vikabro]

Since I didn't play many Ps1 Games there is not much variation to my list. 1. Final Fantasy VII 2. Resident Evil 2 3. Final Fantasy VIII 4. Final Fantasy IX 5. Resident Evil 6. Silent Hill 7. Resident Evil 3 8. Evil Zone 9. Tomb Raider 10. Spyro the Dragon [I didn't think I'd be able to list 10 games]

[@dr6559]

Vika Bro why is VII on there twice?

[@Vikabro]

Typo, #3 was meant to be Final Fantasy VIII. Thanks for pointing that out. [Though I made another typo with this reply orz]

[@dr6559]

Yw.

[@Blueflag04]

no racing games???

[@Vikabro]

I never owned any racing games on the Ps1. I didn't play many, but the other ones I did own were all on Nintendo 64. My top ten list is basically all the ps1 games I ever owned expect for two other Spryo games, and two other Tomb Raider games. To be honest I had very little interest in racing games outside of arcades.

[@slothstradamus89]

7:55 The REmake on the DREAMCAST?!?! Uhhh...am I missing something here?

[@BigBossCQCLegend]

MGS1 is My Favorite PS1 Game of All Time

[@shouryuuken4147]

What an unusual top 10, but it was really fun to watch and your anecdotes were so wholesome. I also appreciate your take on "fanboyism" and enjoying games. It's really just about enjoying games and not what platform they're on or who developed or published them. So with this in mind I just wanted to share the games that I enjoyed playing the most on the PS1. In no particular order: Final Fantasy VIII (the reason I bought a PS1) Final Fantasy VII (the first PS1 game I actually owned) Breath of Fire III and IV (such a great and nostalgic series for me) Spyro 2 (just fun to play and the right amount of challenge) The Legend of Dragoon (just an overall good JRPG with some unique ideas) Star Ocean 2 (probably the game I played the most on my PS1. Also the best in the series with the most likeable characters, imho) Grandia (no other game ever gave me this amazing feeling of adventure)

[@bradleyhenry1996]

Digimon World ...where ya at ???

[@rambam791]

Right? YA-TSAI.......WRAEW-WRAEW

[@bradleyhenry1996]

Felix Jovic-Storey Hahah best comment ever , i got it straight away 😂

[@aerinlockeadon827]

I'm pretty sure he's never heard of it

[@benwasserman8223]

No Metal Gear Solid on the list? Damn Jirard.....

[@arathorrn16]

i think his flashbacks from completing it for the show make it way too painful for a list like this XD

[@CI254]

To be fair he mentioned this list consists of his childhood top 10 and he didn't discover Metal Gear during his childhood.

[@CI254]

...Then he contradicts me seconds later at the end of his Castlevania entry and I don't understand the world anymore

[@raulrojas9253]

he just full of shit, nostalgia or he just simple Fuck UP or have to cut the list so he put some shitty sports games instead of a clasic.

[@Sniperbear13]

maybe he didn't like it.

Asuna Yuuki twisted metal 2 is my jam, can still hear sweet tooth in my nightmares lol.

[@asunayuuki742]

+Cameron *my mistake, I meant "Dragon."

[@RayleReaper]

Just chiming in on re-completing Crash. I say yes. I'd enjoy seeing you do the series again in the new format, and you deserve a nice set of games to complete after the sheer insanity and suffering you put yourself through for us!

[@maxaroni39]

I didn't grow up with the PS1, but man do I have a blast playing Parappa the Rapper. It might not be the best game, but it's so wacky, creative, and cute that me and my dad will regularly quote the raps. Parappa is a staple for rhythm gamers, and should at least be an honorable mention.

[@TheGameStampede]

crash bandicoot team racing, king's field 2, tenchu 2, tekken 3, megaman x6, saiyuki journey west, ff5, ff7, ff8, ff9, legend of kartia, xenogears, armored core master of arena, valkyrie profile, lunar 2, suikoden 1, marvel vs capcom 1,... Good memories, how nostalgic.

[@Bluesit32]

The Game Stampede Final Fantasy V? You really can't count that. It's a port of the SNES game.

[@matthewlang6679]

TheBlues32 Of course you can count that

[@Bluesit32]

Matthew Lang But it's not real a PlayStation game, it's just a port. No improved graphics (outside of the pointless FMVs) no altered script...nothing. No, wait, I take it back. Sometimes, when the game was loading your save, Cloud would come out rather than one of the FF V characters (done in the FF V sprite style, of course). Other than that, identical to the old one.

[@Bluesit32]

The Game Stampede Wow, MegaMan X6 in your top ten? Have you played it recently? It used to be on my list until I went back and played it about a year ago. I forgot how damn hard it could be. Like the levels were it would go dark? I need to see! How many times did Zero fall to his death because I couldn't see anything? And the Gate Lab levels...especially the first one...nearly wall to wall spikes. You can bring the shadow armor and laugh at its attempts to murder you, only to realize your offensive capabilities have suffered. A lot.

[@TheGameStampede]

TheBlues32 I love megaman x6 because of the music... I have a friend that gave me an info of what to do! mostly I know about where to get the hearts to fill for either x or zero but just one of the two to maximize one's life.

[@NateIsCorrupt]

Great list!. I love Final Fantasy 7. The story is so deep and immersive, characters are top notch, atmosphere Is haunting and unforgettable, music is perfect and iconic and much more can be said but I will leave it there. Even Square said it is the greatest game they ever created.

[@TheInkPitOx]

I never got far in FF7. Got stuck somewhere.

[@xenghuong]

Jirard, what happened to the "Defend it!" series? I came across it again in my recommended after I forgot all about it. You should do more.

[@spunkychickens3696]

Huongxeng Chang He keeps saying he'd come back to the series, but it never really happened.

[@xenghuong]

Spunky Chickens sadly, i thought it was actually a cool and unique idea

[@spunkychickens3696]

Huongxeng Chang So do I! If I were to guess, I don't think it pulled enough viewership for him to profit from the videos.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

So, judging by the name it's a series about unpopular opinions? Because that right there can tell you why it wouldn't be that popular or fun to make. You would need to have the kind of mind that loves it when people get angry at you to do it well.

[@Blueflag04]

dont forget why we love video games series

[@newmula5045]

I’m sorry people give u hard time in the comments some of us appreciate you work in its entirety!!!

[@pmf98]

I couldn't play many PS1 games as a kid, but the ones I could have always been in my heart: Spyro 1, Crash Team Racing, and Tekken 3, sometimes watching Resident Evil or Duke Nukem around the corner when I was supposed to be sleeping.

[@23brownbelt]

I don't have a list but one of my favorite ps1 games has to be Guardians Crusade.

[@AnaBeckel]

I have never known anyone else who has actually played that game. It was so good and people think I am crazy when I talk about it.

[@DirectorHMAN]

+Ana Beckel never heard of it

[@jenk371]

but...Spyro?

[@chromasus9983]

And.. Metal Gear Solid?

[@neogeothomas8127]

Or... Klonoa? (Even though I've only played the one on GBA)

[@Sniperbear13]

Maybe he did like them as much.

[@Christopher10101000]

Since he showed footage of the game at the beginning, I think it's safe to assume that it's an honorable mention.

[@kuman7278]

Spyro was definitely a fun time, but is it really worth being a top 10 on a console with so many masterpieces in it? top 100 maybe.

[@luliby2309]

What an interesting list. I love that you put some personal nostalgia favorites on there too. It keeps it from being too predictable. I know you limited yourself to only one mainline Final Fantasy, but would you put on numbers 8 and/or 9 if you didn't? I personally would root for The Legend Of Dragoon being on the list because that game is amazing and needs to be more than just a cult classic. Have you ever played it Jirard? It might make for a good Completionist episode one day. One game I love that I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned is Digimon World. Maybe it's not top 10 material, but it's great and there's gotta be people out there who like it that much.

[@rakatika]

Great video! Some of my favorite PS1 games; Crash 2, Mega Man X4, Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy 9, Syphon Filter, Brave Fencer Musashi, Jade Cocoon, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense and I'm sure others that I can't think of at the moment.

[@duncanbowie1043]

perfect timing. Thanks to you Jirard for your love of video games and for this comment section. Playstation Classic Upgrade!!!

[@erickk1992]

Not that anybody really wants my list but this is my list 1-10 Final Fantasy 7 Final Fantasy Tactics Crash Bandicoot 2 Spyro the Dragon Legend of Dragoon Jet Moto Castlevania SotN Twisted Metal 2 Vigilante 8 Oddworld Abe's Exoddus

[@jamesdupuis3249]

Erick K Twisted Metal Hype!

[@hawkeyeplerce5238]

You know what gives me nostalgia? The bungie logo from the the startup of Halo 2 with the start of the Mjolnir mix song starting up in the background. If you played Halo 2, look it up, you'll know what I mean.

[@cosmicvale]

Hawkeye Plerce That is one of my most favorite moments. Hearing and even thinking about that song makes me happy.

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

1 Final Fantasy7 2 Final Fantasy 9(Even if it's second on my list on favorites, everyone knows, that it is the best FF game... Period...) 3 Persona 2(both innocent sin and eternal punishment) 4 Crash Bandicoot 2(I don't care if you have already completed some of this games, do the Nsane trilogy!!!) 5 Metal Gear Solid 6 Spyro 2 7 Digimon World 1(The true spirit of Digimon, raise then and hope that you did a good job) 8 Brave Fencer Musashi 9 Digimon World 3 10 Crash Team Racing

[@wjm1101]

Haven’t thought about 2xtreme in almost 20 years. That truly is a bygone era. Thanks!

[@GameboySM]

1. MediEvil 2. Spyro the Dragon 3. Parasite Eve 4. Tomba 5. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos 6. Crash Team Racing 7. Resident Evil 2 8. Spider-Man 9. Castlevania: SotN 10. Metal Gear Solid The sequels to these games are freaking amazing as well. The order these go in always changes for me, but MediEvil and Spyro are always the top two.

[@xanderalsup7647]

Not going to lie, Soul Reaver would at least be in my top 5. We need a sequel.

[@xanderalsup7647]

And by sequel I mean Legacy of Kain in general.

[@Lawlaliet]

Well, there was gonna be a sequel for the PS3 and 360, but it was sadly cancelled.

[@legionairesunny5507]

I missed the whole PS1 life time so I am more of a PS2 fangirl.

[@malik87breaker]

Emerald Mimic i started with 8 bit. But ps2 has a great library. And there is tons of gems. So no surprise. Both are great :D

[@SilimSavertin]

Mega Man X4 is good, but the Mega Man Zero games blow it out of the water for me, and the two ZX games are at least as good.

[@Kralex121]

Megaman Zero surprisingly doesn't get much love, compared to Megaman X.

[@varunramakrishnan7676]

Indeed , since it was the second megaman game I played I'm always disappointed by the lack of love it gets

[@greylithwolf]

Silim's Let's Plays Oh man, Megaman Zero has probably the best story out of all the Megaman games. It totally nails the ruthless aloofness of Zero while still allowing him to be a good guy. Plus that art, both official and sprite, is frickin' extraordinary. ZX looks good too. That's about it though. In my opinion those games suck assss.

[@panthekirb7561]

I really wish we could have a good new mega man game, sadly it won't ever happen. Especialy not the "good" part since Capcom has done a shitty job with MM from the start. I am talking about the FNAF levels of milking for the easy to impress fans at the time that to this day don't look criticaly at the majority of the franchise...

[@shinryuken9762]

My Top 4 1 Castlevania SOTN 2 Street Fighter A3 3 Mega Man X4 4 Metal Gear Solid

[@djb1ge]

Awesome list! Street Fighter Alpha 3 is underrated. World Tour Mode is too fun!

[@TheIrelander95]

I personally am not a Final Fantasy fan but, dude, as someone who loves collecting video game memorabilia, that Buster Sword you have is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

[@thatgamingshow1261]

B-b-but.... metal gear? 😢

[@Selphie1987]

Crash Bandicoot Remake = YES!!!!!!! Please!

[@Collin255]

Kim Byrne one more month!

[@lukenotskywalker2957]

Any list that doesn't have: Tenchu 2 Team Buddies War Hogs MegaMan Legends Spyro 2 Crash Team Racing T'ai Fu Final Fantasy IX Monster Ranch 2 Digimon World Probably isn't my list.... Bonus Games.... Little Big Adventure and Diablo 1... Both available on PC hence why not in the list.

[@kuro5865]

wow I'm surprised X4 made it to the list. my very first game on my very first console. the nostalgia hit hard

[@jakehamburdoodle3042]

Dude brought back so many memories! I remember playing Brave Fencer Musashi on one of those Jampack or Underground demo discs they had back before I could even read! I had NO idea what the game was called, all I knew was my little 4 year old self loved pressing the buttons and watching the guy do stuff. Just seeing it on here brought back memories like a flashback and when I saw it I immediately stopped what I was doing and looked and said, "Holy shit, is it really that game?". Dude let me tell you brought back some memories. Same thing goes for Final Fantasy VII. I remember playing it before I could even read. It was my big brothers game and I remember when I accidentally defeated this creature him and his friend just couldn't seem to beat. Fun times man. Thanks for the memories. Way back when times were much simpler. But if it was my list, I'd definitely have Spyro and Crash Bandicoot Racing in there. Great video man! Keep it up!

[@platinumfactor]

I loved Tekken 3 but Eddie is nothing compared to Hwoarang.

[@kalasala13]

they both just live off two buttons, x and o
