Your first ps2 game you owned?

[Krazy Kat]

Suikoden 3 and Fifa 2002

 

[UnDubious]

Dragon Quest VIII, I bought my PS2 to play it.

 

[sandogma]

It was just okay. I traded it in for some credit and bought Zone of the Enders the following month.

 

[Adrastia]

Final Fantasy X. I spent most of the playtime playing Blitz Ball.

 

[Hotwer]

I think it was Bully, great game, wished Rockstar would do something to the series instead of letting it rot.

In the grand scheme of things, I'm a very recent PS2 owner. Before owning one myself, I usually played PS2 games via the PS3's backwards compatibility, or through emulation.

The first physical games I received were Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne and Gran Turismo 4.

 

[ThirteeTooBeets]

Devil May Cry 3, I love the intro and tutorial but my little kid mind didn't understand how to combo so it was frustrating

 

[GuyZero32k4]

Tekken 4. Didn't buy the system till the game came out.

 

[hitsugi]

Tekken tag tournament. Bought a ps2 in 2019 though.

 

[6kNNRQ]

Armored Core 2!

 

[Bomberman]

The original Ratchet and Clank (came bundled) and what a showcase for the ps2 that game was.

 

[Plumbum]

Jak and Daxter. I got it for Christmas, and beat it that day. It was the last time I binge-gamed. I remember not being able to roll my eyes around in my head for a bit after that. Lesson learned...

Woah man u did your homework before deciding what to buy, great pick

I worked at GameStop in the mid 2000's. I had the best Manager who was up to date on all the must have games on every console. I bought my PS2 Slim far into the consoles life. Almost all of the best PS2 games had already been released by that point. IIRC the only games I bought new were Biohazard 4 (Resident Evil 4) in the US, Rouge Galaxy, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, and Okami. There were probably more, but I would have to go into storage to find out what i actually bought. I'm a collector. I've never sold or traded games. I just have terrible memory.

I wish I bought this when I had the chance. Back then, GameStop employees were able to "buy" the "Adult Only" exchanges.

Metal Gear Solid 3, it was a hands me down from a distant aunt's son. Too bad the disc was scratched, i don't think he ever noticed it was in that condition. The first hours were perfectly playable, but afterwards, loading screens would take longer and longer, i don't remember how far i got. It was only when i got the Xbox 360 port that i finally beat the game.

The first PlayStation 2 game I ever bought was DEVIL MAY CRY 3: SPECIAL EDITION because it was just that fucking good. I didn't even own a PS2 and just used PCSX2 since it let you use actual discs in your PC's DVD drive. Also I remember that running it on an actual disc instead of an ISO made it run better with the emulator at the time.

 

[lil_thang]

we got Tekken Tag Tournment and couple demo discs with our ps2 in my family, struggling to recall what the next one would've been

 

[SyphonFilter12]

I think mine was James Bond 007

 

[Jeff]

Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X-2

 

[Tonberry]

Kingdom Hearts. Got it along with the console as a christmas present in 2002.
My parents knew I liked Disney, and they knew I liked stuff that vaguely resembled Zelda (a pretty japanese boy with a sword I assume was their thought process), and they were right on the money. KH1 is the only game in the series I kind of like, and it's because of that innocent whimsical feeling it gives me each time I replay it.

 

[instalazy]

pretty sure it was the sequel of crash bandicoot since I enjoy the one from previous console a lot

 

[Haasman0]

Need For Speed Underground 2

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

I've been hooked on it since. Like a battered wife i keep coming back to it.

 

[TamagotchiTamaHero24's icon TamagotchiTamaHero24 TamagotchiTamaHero24]

Sonic Unleashed and Namco Museum. The really bad one.

My collection has greatly expanded since then and I’m so thankful it did.

 

[Cu1tur3D_Gam3R]

One of the first game I got for the PS2 was Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec, still absolutely goated to this day.

Still my favorite Ace Combat title to this day, though Zero is pretty goated as well.

Final Fantasy X
