Ps2 era was peak PlayStation imo
Not sure . Ps1 was way better imo
One of the best generations!
Still is peak 😊
@@Ahkeem00i agree
@@jayt2917 Not sure. Ps2 was way better imo
Just a note on Wild Arms Alter Code F, you can't play the side missions at the end of the game on a PS2 Slim. There is a defect in the design of the Slim that restricts the laser from reaching the outer rings of information on PS2 DVDs. Only a few games are affected by this. If you play it on the original FAT PS2, you'll be fine.
😮 Good to know👍
Wow, thanks for that -is there a list of other games impacted when playing on a slim? Would be good back pocket info to have!
There is a list on wikipedia@@JAJH87, but it's flawed.
Never heard (or read) of this
@@andrumanliveman5773 The vast majority of games do not use all of the disc space on the DVD. The outer rings of the DVD is the last place to put information into.
The PS2 Slim has a laser that cannot move to read the outer rings of information on DVDs. If you take off the plastic shell of the PS2 Slim, the laser WILL move all the way to the outer rings. It's actually the plastic shell that restricts it.
awesome video as always, I'd love to see a video of yours about old PC games, specially hidden gems and games that weren't released on other platforms
Great suggestion!
More PS2 Hidden Gems with TVGS I’ve seen and have all from 1980-Now I have every console tons of games I know all the games you’ve always shown throughout the years but I’m happy because you always show great games in every category and concept of your videos plus the younger/newer generations get to see it as well
That means a lot man. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you brother!
@@thatvideogamesshowyou too enjoy more games and greatness to come in 2025
Definitely in need of PS2 hidden gems
How did I miss Shadow Tower as a huge King's Field fan? That game honestly looks like a dream come true
Best vita ports would be a good video idea. There's enough of them lol.
Great idea, I'll add it to the list!
for some reason, i can listen to you describe games all day. there is something about the way you do it that makes me want to play every single one, and i have played a bunch of them, and even the games i hate, i want to play after hearing you talk about them ahha
I appreciate that.. means a lot 🙂
Another great collection of games, and I will happily share this.
On another note, maybe you could feature Sword of Etheria again? You said the story is a bit flat, yet it really depends on how well you play it. Not just about ranks, but also other criterias as well. Let's just say, the JP title really gives you the idea of what to do.
For me, this game is fantastic, and I love the characters as well.
The PS2 had so many hidden gems because back then game developers weren't afraid to take bold creative risk
No microtransactions
@@JohnSmith-ie9qo yup
Pinnacle of Gaming: PS2. Best Library ever fucking made, legendary sagas, huge jump in 3D Quality, etc... PS2 is the GOAT.
I'll second that!
really hidden gems great video thanks greetings from Argentina
Glad you like them! Greetings from Wales =)
I was in grad school during the PS2 era and am shocked at how much I didn't realize existed. Metal Slug 3D?! I know what I'm doing this weekend. 😊
It's been SO LONG since I've heard about Wild Arms: Alter Code F and boy oh boy, seeing it back in here brought a smile to my face. Can't stress enough how this game was tough 'tho lol
Such a good remake!
Golden era of games reached it's apex with the PS2
100%!
Best "hidden gems" video. Thank you your hard work! Fantastic videó! Many great title
Thanks for watching!
Keep it up, these videos are a great comfort to me and many other people. Happy New Year!
Glad you like them!
Great video my friend! Just an idea, but how about a SCHMUP video?! Would love to see it! Also, Kinetica was ahead of its time!
Great idea man!
Shot out awesome jacket dude! Every video he’s there supporting 🎉
Love the PS2. Thanks for sharing more.
Thanks for watching!
I actually wouldn't mind an new attempt at a new 3D Metal Slug tbh.
Same here!
Would you settle for isometric?
PS2 is amazing ❤ Great video as ever bro
That Kinetica looks amazing
It's well worth trying out!
Amazing work as always.. on the first game, "Code of the Samurai," what was the background music used, i remember listening to this years back and can't remember what it was from? Please put me out of my misery? What was it from? Thanks in advance.
Brave Fencer Musashi
@thatvideogamesshow you are such a legend, I remember it now, thank you, and happy new year in 2025. Can't wait for more of your incredible gaming content. You have my eternal thanks 👏
Kinetica was SO good! Last I checked not too expensive to pick up either.
Deserved way more attention!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that didn’t sleep on it back than. I know i recently started buying back my childhood games and it was under $15
Great video, happy new year
Happy new year!
Will never stop being blown away by the era of PS2. What a ridiculously mindblowing legacy. 🔥
Still finding great games on it to this day!
WAIT THERES A METAL SLUG 3D???? WTF WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS???? That's crazy
It's well worth playing if you can!
I thought I was the only one, I'm speechless. Where the hell have I been?!?!
This is exactly why I subscribed to this channel, always something new for me to learn. 😆
Not released in North America.
Japan only.
Good list
Thanks!
Wow, the PS2 was a classic masterpiece of nostalgia 😌
Kinetics deserved an expanded sequel. Great game. Still have my copy of it.
I had no idea about Metal Slug 3D! Looks like it wasn't released in Europe?
It was Japan only.
Code of the Samurai looks pretty fun! So does Shadow Tower Abyss, though I'll probably get my butt kicked in it LOL! I could see Ape Escape Pumped & Primed being fun with friends. Arc of the Lad Twilight of the Spirits is one I have some experience with. I never finished it though and I'm actually stuck at the moment.
By far the biggest change to WA: Alter Code F, was the removal of the infinite item glitch, which I never used of course.
And buying weapons and equipment :(
Sky Oddysey on PS2. Cool flight game
I always cite X-treme Express and Twin Caliber as 'hidden gems.' Certainly not the best games but I enjoy them so much and they are mostly unknown.
Thanks for the tip, I'll check them out!
Great choices
Cheers!
Shadow Tower Abyss style reminds me of a game that is about to release next year, Labyrinth Of The Demon King
Arc the lad is a hell of game
shadow tower abyss is worth the play if you want to witness how kings field became demons souls. this game is a in between prototype.
YYYEEESSSS!!!!!! KINETICA FINALLY GETTING SOME LOVE! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a good racing game!
Arc the lad was amazing
Спасибо за видео! Всегда смотрю с удовольствием.
С Новым Годом!
Didn't even know there was a 3D Metal Slug, wtf.
It’s well worth giving a go if you like the series!
Not released in North America.
Japan only.
Isnt code of the samurai--way of the samurai?
Have you considered doing (emulating) even older consoles? NES, Master System, Cdi?
Good Idea!
Code of the Samurai kinda gets my attention for some reason, until you said if we are fan of Onimusha or Tenchu then it will worth the time, then now I get why
I’ve always wanted to play Shadow Tower but can’t find it for less than $200. 😢
Metal slug 3d looks so cool, however, it doesn’t even pop up on eBay when I searched for it
Never released in USA. Also its called "Metal Slug". Fans just add "3D" to distinguish it from the original.
Sail the seven seas.
I was Disappointed for why you don't make new Videos About Wii Games 😢😮💨🥺😩 this was third time that I was asking for.
In the pipeline, going to be doing a good games stuck on the Wii episode soon.
@thatvideogamesshow Thanks man i was waiting for that Series. and your Videos are awesome 👍
The Wii is garbage
@@thatvideogamesshow Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Mario Sunshine, Tatsunoku vs Capcom, Metroid Other M, etc..
Ps2 was the Era when almost every game was gamery and fun
One of the best generations!
God bless ye olde PS2 ❤
Endgame reminds me of time crisis i can see myself playing it
It's a solid light gun game!
@thatvideogamesshow good thing I still got the light guns
Please Please Make Videos on Wii Horror Games 😢😅
In the works =)
Is this a reupload?
Hey merry christmas 😊😊🌲🌲🎁🎁
Same to you!
And Happy New Year! @@thatvideogamesshow
Could we have some new Shockingly Terrible Games videos please? It's been forever! 😀
Sure!
@@thatvideogamesshow Amazing! I look forward to it! 😀
the first game is hella GOOD
Had a lot of fun with it!
Why do I recognize that intro? What game is that from?
Tekken 2 =)
@ YES, when Nina Williams is showing her hair physics. Thank you!
Endgame looks like Time Crisis
Very similar for sure!
Please add timestamps to your videos. You just need to type "00:00 - Timestamp" in the description.
Armored core!!!
Love your work, GOD bless. Keep it up!n
Thanks Kevin I appreciate that!
Why isn't Sony green lighting a new Wild Arms
Media.Vision is defunct.
Because Media Vision is defunct.
Would love to see it happen!
Ps2 is king
I'll second that!
The background music is way too loud and distracting
am from kenya east africa and i can tell you the ps2 wasand still is a legendary console.quuality video by the way
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
👍
🖤🖤🖤💗🖤
You guys really need to get better at explaining when a game is japanese only. I get excited when I see something I've never heard of only to learn I better start emulating. 😢
Metal Gear 3D wasn't a gem at all, it's one of the lousiest games of the ps2, let alone the metal gear saga.
I second that it was utter garbage
Wild arms alter code F botched things so badly. They ruined the music and they absolutely ruined the graphics. I absolutely hated the 3-D overworld graphics. They should’ve stuck to charming 2-D. And the shame is I want to play the game and play the extra content, but I can’t stand how bad They have messed up the ost
I actually agree with you. It's still a good game, but yeah, the original is WAYY better.
No time stamps in 2024 is incredible, holy fuck 🤦♂
