Post by: MysticMike01 on July 06, 2002, 07:18:54 AM
What games should I get? I know I\'m getting GTA3, but what else should I get. I just want you 2 know that I hate RPGs and Driving games(only realistic driving).

Welcome to the PSX2central boards mystic mike

As for which realistic driving game,  pick up GT3 for $20.  That should be one of your first purchases.

Also remember Madden 2002

i have Madden 2002 for my GC, and I want to point out that I hate realistic driving games even though GT3 does have some sweet cars.

So get FFX

Be sure to pick up SSX Tricky.

Welcome friend. Always good to see new members.

For good game purchases, the following are only $20.00-

Dark Cloud (rated teen)
Red Faction (rated Mature)
Onimusha(rated mature)
Twisted Metal: Black(mature)

I don\'t know your parents attitude towards Mature rated games, but they aren\'t that bad (well, maybe TMB).

As for newer titles, try FFX & DMC. Both are fantastic games you\'ll only find on PS2, and will take up a huge portion of your life.

And find Persona!

Ace Combat 4
Title: I\'m finally getting a PS2!!!
Post by: theomen on July 06, 2002, 03:32:21 PM
Silent Hill 2 is a good buy, you can usually find it for 25 bucks, and it\'s deffinetly an experience that all ps2 owners should not pass up.

I guarentee that it will be after MGS2 Substance comes out. MysticMike, hold off on MGS2 until MGS2 Substance comes out.

Post by: MysticMike01 on July 06, 2002, 04:49:57 PM
Okay. i really wanted MGS2 though.

Post by: Titan on July 06, 2002, 04:58:38 PM
MGS2 Substance is basically the same but you can play as different characters in the levels, you have VR Missions and stuff like that. I\'m getting it but not when it comes out. MGS2 is the best game.

Hey Mystic, I\'m new too, and I just bought a PS2 too (and have a GC), freaky huh?

Good thing your getting GTA3 (of course who in their right mind wouldn\'t).  And as someone else said, DO get FFX, even if you don\'t like RPG\'s (and yeah its turn-based).

And (I know someone else said it) don\'t get MGS2 until Substance comes out, you can save a lot.

Thanks. I\'m in the same situation as you! The only way I will like any RPG is if it is turnbased. so i\'ll get FFX and GTA3. or should i get GTA3 and JakandDaxter

FFX and GTA3.. Unless your into those.. platformers lol
Title: I\'m finally getting a PS2!!!
Post by: rastalant on July 06, 2002, 09:37:25 PM
Dmc, vf4, tekken tag, Gt3, FFx, medal of honor, mgs2, so many good games you can\'t go wrong.  Playstation 2 what?:D
Title: I\'m finally getting a PS2!!!
Post by: MysticMike01 on July 07, 2002, 04:09:44 AM
Actually I love platformers as much as I love FPS. By the way is MGS2 a FPS? I am now officially passing up GTA3, since it\'s sequal comes out only a few weeks b4 my birthday(which is Oct.31 the great halloween) I\'m pretty sure that MGS2 and Jak and Daxter are the way to go! unless..............one of you prove me wrong. I will rather have the real thing instead of a remake. Kinda like I owned Sonic Adventure2 but not Battle.
Title: I\'m finally getting a PS2!!!
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on July 07, 2002, 04:45:36 AM
get GTA3 and Vice City

Jak & Daxter is a great platformer, but PS2 is getting some other great platformers soon such as Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and Theivius Raccoonus and various others

MGS2 is not a first person shooter and im willing to bet its storyline will be too full on for you to enjoy it fully

Devil May Cry is a game you will want to check out

Final Fantasy X is the best game on the system IMO

Medal of Honor is a great single player FPS, so is Red Faction.  TimeSplitters is the best multiplayer game this generation.  But Red Faction 2 and TimeSplitters 2 are coming out soon as well, and they are going to rock.

Twisted Metal: Black is a MUST BUY.. fantastically fun single player and co-op, and an awesome deathmatch.

Theres plenty more games as well, but i think theres already too many good games on the system that you\'ll never own  :p

Post by: MysticMike01 on July 07, 2002, 04:48:52 AM
I\'ll take part of your opinion. I think that I\'ll stick to my GameCube for platformers like Mario, SFA, and Zelda. But to the PS2 for Action/Adventures and FPS.

GTA3 AND METAL GEAR SOLID 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I\'M GETTING MY PS2 TODAY AFTER CHURCH(if i go 2 church 2day)!!!!!!!!!!! i\'ve been getting pretty tired of my GC. ED and Resident Evil are not my kind of games. My last game for GC was Spider-Man, which was awesome. I only played a few of the beginning missions in GTA3 over my friends house. I hope the missions get better, b/c some of them were bland, except when it had the Triads in it.
Title: I\'m finally getting a PS2!!!
Post by: Bobs_Hardware on July 07, 2002, 04:55:55 AM
the missions get WAY better

and SFA and Zelda arent platformers  :)  and what does it matter what platform they are on?  Do you only get to purchase a set number of games for each system?  ;)

Post by: MysticMike01 on July 07, 2002, 05:01:59 AM
I\'ve just been playin Mario and Zelda since I was like 3, and I\'ve fallen love for t hose classic Mario games. But since I\'ve had the PSX I\'ve learned what the power of Sony is. I\'ll put it simpler. I\'ll stick with the GC for the "nice", "kiddy" games. And I\'ll stick with the PS2 for the killing and "mature" games. I don\'t even want the XBOX, since most of the games are comin out for the GC or PS2.

I know, but I\'m not that big on realistic racers. I do have a $20 gift card for Wal-Mart. Isn\'t that how much GT3 costs? My mom is buyin me the system and two games. I was gonna use the gift card for a PS2 gameshark though.
Title: I\'m finally getting a PS2!!!
Post by: MysticMike01 on July 07, 2002, 07:50:18 PM
I got back from my Wal-Mart a few hours ago with my PS2, GTA3, and Jak&Daxter. I can\'t believe that I\'m wasting my time postin on this forum, but my  mom told me to take a break(she thinks i\'llget a seizure). Thanks for tellin me to get da right decisions! :)
