Lets Talk PS2 and Older

Right now I'm into visual novels. Apparently there were a lot on PS2, but none of them made it over. Makes me a sad 🐼
I've always been more of a Nintendo fan. Star Fox for the SNES I think holds up decently, especially musically. Donkey Kong Country series is my favorite platformer; again, the music makes it. DKC2, all of the songs are great.
Similarly, Chrono Trigger and Earthbound are ones I only discovered on rereleases on other consoles, but are classic for their stories and music.
To Faraway Times was my jam for a while.
Smiles and Tears... Gives me smiles and Tears listening to it.

Just just bought the 4 in one Jai and Daxter remake for the PS4
I found my remember playing 1, 2, & 3 never played the racing one.
Also I am ashamed to admit I never finished #2

OT: Anyone know how to start a vodcast / rerun on Twitch now? I added the videos to the rerun queue... But I don't know how to find said queue and turn them on.
Kingdom Hearts was one of the first PS2 games I was interested in trying.
My favorite PS2 game I rented though was Magic Pengel. You could draw characters, and then battle others with them in JRPG battles.
They made a sequel, Graffiti Kingdom, but I never played it... I wish they would rerelease these. I moved onto Spore, LittleBigPlanet, and then Scribblenauts before my creativity died. xD
Other than that, GTA: Vice City was nice for the soundtrack... Which apparently they are removing / replacing in future games, dang.

I got into Monster Hunter in the PS2 era, and it has been my favorite game franchise ever since. This is the one series that makes a console a deal for me. I've literally bought consoles for this series alone looking at my 3DS and its 3 MH games
I don't think there's any other game I have such a passion for. The only one that comes close is Shadow of the Colossus.
-
@paulnamida You make me regret not buying MH for my 3DS.
Now the only MH I look forward to would be MH World, but I currently don't have the means to play it.
One day, I'm gonna play the HD remasters of FF X and FF X-2. It's a promise.

I remember I had to beat Star Fox for the 64 in one sitting because I didn't have enough memory to save lmao. Me and my older brother beat it in one sitting. This happened during the summer about 10-13 years ago. We couldn't beat Torak Seeds of evil 2 even with cheats, that game was so long lol.

We played GTA 3 without a memory card. So that meant lots of using cheats. Make your car fly over the bridge at the start to access the final city. Use the tank cheat. I actually tried to beat the missions without powering off a few times... Dunno what the furthest I got was.

@terrence the amount of content we got from old games compared to know is kinda ridiculous tbh lol. Not to say all games don't give us enough content for 60$.
-
I kinda miss the days when Squaresoft made experimental action games like Brave Fencer Musashi and Einhander.
Kinda wish they'd one day port them to Steam.
Seems like a no brainer to port their old classics to Steam. I wonder why they hadn't done this.

Now we get long stretches of empty terrain to traverse, and it's supposed to be "immersive"... x)

We need to rely on the 1% of Games that are truly great now. And only 1% of that 1% is truly a masterpiece of nier perfection (yes I made a pun about Nier, specifically Nier Automata).
