ps2's library hasn't aged all that well despite a few exceptions. popular games on that platform also either get unreasonably mogged from games that either came before or afterward their release or even after the console's lifespan. for example > resident evil 4 at least 1/2 of the game is either an escort mission or a qte movie on-rails (looking at you leon vs krauser). it isn't bad enough if ashley constantly screams or gets picked up. but it can't save the shite of the level design that is the water tunnel section. ada's content is also relatively hit or miss and the new content seemed to be pushed toward the ps2 version's initial release. this process would be repeated again with the re4make following soon afterward in 2023, locking the seperate ways content behind a dlc paywall. > god of war i+ii shitty gameplay, no matter how gritty and "mature" it is, does not make up for a shitty story. > gta 3d trilogy for some reason, rockstar still had the masochistic drive to just drop the most filtering missions, specially more so between vice city and sa, in addition to not giving checkpoints. i can forgive them for what they did to 3 and sa, but fuck the people responsible for making that shitty "the driver" mission. > mgs2+3 laid the foundation for kojima's barren obsession with making movie type games before he could make strand type games. > sh2-4 glorifies euthanasia in 2, mocks "god" and christianity in 3, and somehow encourages abortion in 4. any reason to why you think the series went dead afterward? > persona 3+4 just go outside and have sex. > dmc 1-3 ninja gaiden is better. > jak, sly, ratchet sly 2 is the only good one. rest is shovelware. the list could go on, but some of the best games were actually the more obscure ones such as > drakan: the ancient gates > dark cloud 2 > smt iii: nocturne > oni > the getaway series > evergrace > drakengard > star ocean iii > shadow hearts: covenant   js2iabyws68ni
