Don't worry, it only took me 22 years Btw, I had a similar experience with GunGriffon myself. I bought it at launch, but didn't seriously try to beat it until 2010 and got stuck on the last level. Haven't touched it since. I remember the controls were definitely a challenge, even way back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagusSmurf | 577 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Game was good. Probably not quite great; they come up with some neat ideas but it never feels that special for long. Jak has a neat moveset though. Probably beats Mario Sunshine as far as Gen 6 Collectathons go. Upper 7/10 I also beat Sly Cooper 1 last weekend but it was through the PS3 collection so I assume it doesn’t count? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagusSmurf | 577 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly This probably has the most fun combat I’ve played in a traditional survival horror (faint praise I suppose?) and is good-to-great in general and an improvement over the first game but I don’t think it excels otherwise and I prefer REmake and SH1-3 as total packages. The biggest issue on its own terms is probably the difficulty. Way too easy. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagusSmurf | 577 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 some obscure game called god of war, you’ve probably never heard of it. Upper 7/10 I guess. The combat was pretty fun but I don’t like strict pass/fail rapid button mashing in, like, basically any game, there were so few bosses, and there was probably a bit too much slow block pushing. I appreciated the variety the platforming and puzzles generally brought though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagusSmurf | 577 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Ratchet & Clank Fun game if rough around the edges at points and the cast and its vision of the consumerist future were endearing. Tough call on this vs. Jak 1. 7/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj_robot | 540 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Finished Airborne Troops: Countdown to D-Day. I was expecting a bland, generic WWII shooter. What I got was even worse. Terrible controls and annoying enemy respawns made this game a not very fun experience. Oh well. I couldn't even get a picture of the ending because it was a video that lasted all of ten seconds, so I just grabbed a pic of level select showing all of the complete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj_robot | 540 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Finished The Getaway: Black Monday. Honestly, I was surprised at how bad this game was. On the surface, it looks like it has some very high production value, with nice graphics and character models (for a PS2 game, anyway), and excellent voice acting. It's all style and no substance, though. Controls are frustrating, there's no camera control, and there's a surprising lack of freedom as to what you can do in the game. Apparently, the developers actually recreated a portion of real-life London in the game, but there's absolutely nothing to do in the city other than drive around, and playing through the main game never even gives you an actual opportunity to explore anyway, so what was even the point? Oh well, on to the next game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj_robot | 540 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Finished Suikoden IV. The game was OK. The game starts off real slow, and I'm glad I listened to one review that said it gets better if you stick with it, but even still I didn't think it was great. The visuals were definitely a disappointment for me, being such a fan of the original two games' 2D art style. The story is nothing special either and it's pretty short for a RPG. It's really the most fun when you're actually doing the Suikoden thing: exploring the world to recruit characters, watching your headquarters grow, checking out all the mini-games, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,733 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Tomb Raider Legend Complete. I enjoy this game a lot, but I can't ignore the fact that the controls for this game are completely broken, and there are so many game breaking bugs. This game could have been truly epic if they had ironed out those issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,733 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) I have a question that I think is worth discussing. Has anyone given any thought to whether you can play an HD remaster of a game on a different console and allow it to count as "beating the PS2 version?" To clarify, I'm only referring to HD remasters of PS2 games and not remakes or ports. Here is one example. I just recently finished Tomb Raider Legend and I'm almost finished with Tomb Raider Anniversary. Both of these games were remastered for the PS3 and were carried over pretty much identically, save for a few bonus items such as trophy support. For the record, I'm playing these games on my PS2. However, in my mind, I feel it wouldn't be a problem to play the HD remasters on PS3 since it's essentially the exact same experience other than slightly better visuals. I will continue my same example with Tomb Raider Underworld. The PS2 game is a port of the PS3 version and is a very different game. In this situation, I believe that completing the PS3 version would NOT count towards completing the PS2 library. Shadow of the Colossus has already been completed, but it's a good example. It was remastered for the PS3 and I would argue that it was basically the same game, so I would argue the PS3 version could count. However, it was also REMADE for the PS4. Since the PS4 version was rebuilt from the ground up, I would argue that it doesn't count towards completing the PS2 library. Maybe this would just open up a can of worms and isn't worth the discussion. Obviously, if we decided to go this route, we would have to decide on a case by case basis if a game on another console would count. Maybe no one wants to even consider this (and that's ok). I just wanted to know what everyone else's thoughts were. Edited March 22, 2023 by TDIRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,733 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Medal of Honor Rising Sun is complete. I didn't enjoy this as much as I remembered. The middle part of this game is great. Snipping enemies in the jungle is a lot of run. In the last level where the enemies are bullet sponges that require a full magazine to kill, but can one shot you are really annoying. Frontline is definitely the better game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
