from my girlfriend's brother. I got a couple o shitty sports games, and GTA 3 and GTA: Vice City.
Now..I'm totally ready to make a bulk purchase of used games off the net via credit card but I need to know..what I have missed in the last 3-4 years of PS2?
I don't want stupid run around shooting people shit unless it's really awesome.
I want story.
I want RPG's.
I want emotional involvement!

After you finish GTA 3 and Vice City make sure and get GTA San Andreas.
Also, GTA is much more fun with the cheats.

FFX was good.
Long? Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is awesome, but my PS2 died. It's 2 disks, I dropped almost 70 bucks for the game and guide.

Keep this lame aspect of life limited to your relationships and soap opera viewing.
For gaming I recommend GTA San Andreas(if you don't own this, throw your system away), Devil May Cry 3, God of War, SOCOM 3, Final Fantasy games, Gran Turismo games, Tom Clancy games, amd Tony Hawk games.

Don't cheap out and get Burnout 3, Burnout Revenge is worth is the extra money. I just bought it today without ever having played it and I'm stoned and having a hell of a time, I watched my friend play 3 and it looked good but this is so much better.

I haven't played too many RPGs on PS2, I agree it's lacking good ones. I played Grandia 2 and that was pretty decent, it's old now though.

I agree with GTA : San Andreas, great fucking game. If you want a realllly cool game to play whilst high/trippin/sober, buy "Kingdom Hearts." Look it up its got a great story line and is very long. It will have you playing for weeks before you finish it.

I want story.
I want RPG's.
I want emotional involvement!
Final Fantasy X - this game (like some other FF games) has one of the best and most involving story lines I've encountered in a game. GET IT!
Silent Hill 2/3/4 - play these games in the dark. GREAT story lines and probably some of the BEST done "horror" effects I've ever seen in a game. I fell off my chair more than once playing the Silent Hill series
Resident Evil - any of them, they're pretty much all great games
Metal Gear Solid - ANY of these games are some of the best ever made
Hope that helps! Those are all good story games.

Yeah it's XI that is online only.
FFX and X-2 are the standard RPG style of single-player.
You like FF7? That was one of my favorite, as far as storyline and emotional involvment go. I would compare FFX to it in all those aspects. X-2 I never finished, it was kind of silly and I couldn't get over the fight system.
Definitely get FFX. If you liked FF7 you will be blown away by X.
The characters actually have voices and talk, so you don't have to read everything they say this time around

man, you are nuts.
silent hill and metal gear are sooooooo fucking retarded.
I will give you credit that silent hill is a good game to play in the dark, but both are weak, short and tedious with the ridiculous amount of segues and cut scenes.

FFX has about 10 hours of fucking cut scenes. Have you played it?
It was awesome, but the first 15 hours of the game SUCK.

silent hill 1 & 2 are both good.. its got a lot of puzzles and mind games in it, not a regular shoot em up type rpg.. # 3 sucked major dick.. #4 is alright, i havent finished playing it yet though..
metal gearsolid3 : snake eater , was pretty damn good.. if you think its retarded than your just a pussy ... or havent played it at all... fighting those bad guys can be some tuff stuff... especially the sniper

nah...I've never played any FF games.
the thing that sucks about metal gear is that it is so damn elementary.
it's never difficult to figure out what you have to do with what you've got.
the story line is boring, painful and nonsensical.
silent hill is sort of the same way, but at least that game is creeeeepy as fuck.
like...you are seriously afraid of opening the door because you don't know what's on the other side...but all the monsters are 4 whacks with a bat and on to the next.
no challenge in problem solving or fighting, just challenging to get through the cut scenes without ripping the console out of the entertainment center and throwing it out the window!

I bought a playstation 2 awhile back and got bored with it and sold it for 5 bucks less than I paid for it. I only kept it for about a month. I really like the shooting games, though. Like Timesplitters, or any of the Medal of Honors.

this may have been mentioned already, but I was too lazy too read through everyone else's suggestions...so just chalk this shit up as another vote if that's the case
Final Fantasy X-2
by far the best game ever on PS2 (and by that I mean the best out of the three or four I've actually played)
but it's still a damn good game never-the-less

afoaf said: you force the drive open while it's spinning or something?
You boot the PS2 with one of the SwapMagic disks in the drive. It will boot to a load menu and stop the drive spinning (the program on the CD does this). Then you open the drive (with a little plastic "key" they give you) and swap out the SwapMagic disk for the game you want to play. Then just click "Load" and the game loads up.
No internal mods required
Though it doesn't always work on ALL games...the only one I've come across so far was the original release of Gran Turismo 4 (they've since released a copy that works fine with the swap method).

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis
