PS2 Backlog Committee

I know this isn't directed at me but I kinda want to at this point. I have so many games I could be PS2oosing from . The PS2 on PS4 stuff isn't hitting me the same way. There had to be more on PS2 for me than Yakuza, Kingdom Hearts and Ratchet right?

So I really, really tried to like Fenyx Rising but it doesn't look like it is going to land with me. I don't like the upgrade paths, it feels weird in combat and platforming (can't put my finger on what doesn't jive exactly), I don't know how this script and tone got approved to be in the same game,...

Not sure it's even appropriate to put this here, but I'm playing the remake of Destroy All Humans! as my semi-PS2oose game. Entertaining fare so far. This project has indeed shown me that games have come a long way since the PS2 era, which I loved so dang much. The graphics aren't really a big issu...

Hey fam, I be all over the place! The last 2 weeks have been goddamn insane. My wife is president of the Brooklyn Branch of the NAACP and had to attend the national conference so it's been a lot of stuff with the kids. My program for the summer wrapped up at the end of July but my 6th wedding annive...

I got real frustrated with the platforming in Fenyx. I tried going back several times but the jumping puzzles would always turn me off. That and they seem pretty stingy with the upgrade materials from what I recall. Maybe I just didn't get far enough into it for that not to be an issue like in Odyss...

Oh, make no mistake, this delightful trip back to PS2 era gaming has been an eye opener. And as izzy has pointed out, I just want to have fun. If Rogue Galaxy gets to be a drag at any point, it's on to the next one. Which will likely be Destroy All Humans which has serious Hulk UD vibes. I can absol...

I love that 2oose has taken off with our small but mighty crew :lol: ! I am eying Destroy All Humans as well. FF12 is like...hard to figure out man. I would have to restart I think. I gave it 2 hours but it just wasn't clicking. I need more time with it. However... Rogue Galaxy is looking like what ...

I just plain suck izzy, I tried 3 last night and got got by the first boss :lol: ! I guess DMC wasn't my summer adventure to PS2oose. Psychonauts I tried again next...I just hate collecting stuff. It's just not my bag. I think I might try and get back into FF12. I never finished it for whatever reas...

Ugh, thanks for the impressions Phase. Overly hard games are a hard pass for me. So Mavel: Midnight Suns was on sale this week on the Xbox store, and I had some Bing credit, so I bit - cost me $18 after my credit & tax. I've played through the tutorial and the first mission, and since I've also...

Well izzy, DMC 1 didn't grab me. I don't like that kind of camera (I actively avoided games with no camera control in the PS1/2 days). And its style of combat with the timing of buttons with delays is something I never got used to. I tried DMC2 last night and umm... https://images.app.goo.gl/AMUjCF5...
