@catgirlfingies has to be #GodOfWar 2, which incidentally was also my first #PS2 game.
I played a whole bunch of great games on the PS2, but none of them as often as GoW2.
It still looks great, especially if you run it upscaled through an emulator. 😎

Edit: got my God of War mythology messed up. 😅 I wrote in the image descriptions that Kratos was holding the Blades of Olympus. The blade of Olympus is the sword Zeus gives Kratos. The blades are the Blades of Athena.

@mforester god of war series is awesome.
Even the psp games were so so graphical for that lil handheld

@catgirlfingies absolutely. The PSP titles were what made me buy the PSP in the first place. 😅

Dragon Quest VIII. Not just peak #dragonquest , but probably one of my favorite #rpg . It wasn't ashamed of being a turn based RPG like so many series that tried modernizing during that time. It was Dragon Quest, but in 3D, and for the western version, fully orchestrated and voice acted.

It's still a beautiful game, and the cell shading lets it stand the test of time better than many games from the #ps2

@Roundcat @catgirlfingies the graphics in that era were so diverse, like developers were really trying to work out how to get the best from the system. But yeah, cell shading is kind of timeless 😁

@catgirlfingies Eeep! Tough question for so early in the day 😱

I'm gonna say that it changes almost daily, but today I'm in an #SSX3 kind of place

@catgirlfingies I really liked Silent Hill 3 and Fatal Frame. Hill 3’s spooky atmosphere and plot was great. I became a fan of the franchise immediately after I played it. As an aside: I was SO bummed when they cancelled Kojima’s Silent Hill project 😭.

Fatal Frame had a cool ghost-fighting mechanic. It was like Pokémon Snap but with higher stakes. Taking a good shot meant that you weren’t going to die fighting a particular ghost 😄.

And yes, I played lots of horror games back in the day of PS2. I don’t play a lot of them nowadays because I only have a Switch now as my main console, and I’ve been prioritizing first-party games (no horror there!). I did play Luigi’s Mansion 3; does that count? 😄

@Schdadia @catgirlfingies ☺️ Timesplitters 2 is probably the game that convinced me that FPS titles could work on console 😂 sooo good

@Hundstrasse I have played this a lot with friends. We have specially divided the TV with a cardboard box and a folding wall so that no one could look at the other screen 😁 @catgirlfingies
