- Forgotten Playstation 2 Games! These definately aren't gonna be getting a PS4 or Nintendo Switch port anytime soon. No matter how cute the anime or dope the Samurais, these PS2 games have become forgotten and will be dearly missed. Well most of em.
Thanks to Chris Shelton for sponsoring this video Via Patreon! Sorry it took a bit but I hope everyone is happy with the result. :)

every gamer starts out as a normie
Ayan Mao idk it’s true though. my journey started in 2002 with wanting to get a GameCube cause Sonic, Kirby, and Mario were on it and they were in cartoons I liked
and every normie as a n00b
Using normie unironically.
Once upon a time I bought nothing but licensed games. Having a 2DS forced me to explore Nintendo franchises and now I love them!

“Before persona ruined my life”
We anime gamers never had lives Austin.
That's not what videogames thought me, you fake gamer!
"How to get into Persona" would be a good video for Austin to make, in case he reads comments. I've always wanted to but when I look into which game in the series I should start with I don't find much agreement.
jamalocaust I would recommend watching SuperButterBuns and her “for beginners” for the different persona games. The general consensus I see is 4 golden or 5 though.
The correct term is "weebs."
@@jamalcalypse I'd say go with Persona 3 Portable, that's how I started because you'll appreciate the others more
Then moved to Persona 4 then back to Persona 3 FES and after that the whole lineup of SMT games
“So here’s this giant enemy crab”
I lost it
giant enemy crab>giant enemy spider
I remember when my doctor told me that during my check up......I gotta stay out of the red light district
@@dustincarpenter567Lmao
Recording game music through a speaker OH MAN is that a throwback for me. The 2000s were rough
Should have connected the 2 rca audio ports to an audio interface. Could be done far cleaner.
You forgot to mention the best part about the Transformers game: You fight Megatron inside an active volcano and he can perform a powerbomb so over the top and ridiculous on you that Metal Gear Rising wishes it had done something like it.
Transformers ps2
Masterpiece ❤
Shinobi for the Ps2. Man, nobody ever talks about that game.
Canadiansamurai That scarf though...led us to a pleasant Journey.
It's ok Bushido blade
nightshade aka Kunoichi
I loved the after-image you left behind whenever you dashed. And killing multiple enemies at once, god that was satisfying. Shame the voice acting was awful.
Or Nightshade.
"Who keep buying those Toy soldiers games"
Me: *Slowly rises hand*
"Who remembers CY Girls"
Me: YOOOO *RISES HAND SUPER FAST*
i only playe like two of the army men games, the one where you play as Sarge and the one where you play as his daughte who travels through a magical portal
@@sarafontanini7051 Army Men Sarge's And Portal Runner.
And Portal Runner lead was Vikki Grimm. Sarges love interest and Colonel Grimm daughter.
God why do I remember this...
@@davidcrimson3768 because you are a bbeetter nerd than I
Don't think I don't hear that Fantasy Life OST, you gotta do a video on that one day man it's one of my favorite 3ds games.
Yoooo Fantasy Life!!!
Literally me
Was just about to comment this LOL
I won that Transformers game, One of the UK magazines had the change of it being inside the sealed bag the magazine was in, I checked the ones at the store and one was slightly heavier than the rest. Turned out the CD was inside.
No case or case sleep, just CD, cardboard cd sleeve and manual!
outplayed
Speaking of forgotten games, Chaos Legion!
Urban reign is another one
Tis named Chaos Legion, and the Aprocrapha of Yzark is something bad the bad guys had xD.
Chaos Legion is still one of my all-time favorite PS2 games ever!!
and The Punisher
I remember seeing all these games on x-play, wonderful nostalgia.
The ps2 era was the bright burning star of the japanese game dev industry, before the hd era brought them to their knees. They made such a wide and creative berth of games and it really felt like anything was possible in games. The ps2 is the best console of all time.
the epic gamers edit made me lol
sky gunners and other game choices A+++
bless up
You're the only person I've ever heard bring up skygunners. Thank you for always bringing up such hidden gems.
"Sometimes time... forgets about you"
*Shows Freedom Fighters*
WHYYYYYYYY I AM STILL WAITINGGGG SUCH A PERFECT GAME
was a good game... but that game never was famous.... rly very underatted title... sad...
Austin, I like ya, but for the love of the gods, please play Steambot Chronicles. It was also published by Atlus and you use mechs to travel the world/fight. I love this jrpg please man
I member that game!
YESYESYES
And the songs are pretty good
but according to ign, cy girls is still better than god hand
Oh god, that's upsetting...
well i have cy girls and it was frustating but i also remember having lots of fun, specially because in some missions you have the help of other teammates and the fight with them was kinda enjoyable.
Too much backtracking
Yeah but so is crayon Shin-chan
i was like cy and god hand too.. :)
i think God was a better little... was a awesome, cool, unique like beat em up...
Cy was a awesome action game too.... w matrix/GITS vibe and 2 hottie girls.... this is what like more in that game... im a boy so i like much better 2 hot action bae then a son goku 2.0 alfpha animal xdd
2 Nep references in one video...
NEPTUNIA VIDEO WHEN?!
Underrated comment
_Nep Nep~_
I second this
can he review a series that mostly is mix bag? people like it or hate it, I kind dip in both, i like some games, hate others especially later ones, i liked first two games especially second one because i love NepGear, i like sisters far more
i know only the super neptunia in ps4... that game super mindfuck and crazy something rpg like whatever from Japan xddd i love it xdddd The protogonist girl ( Nep ) super kawaii xddd
Urban Chaos : Riot Response is such an awesome game, it's a first person shooter with real life cutscenes and awesome slow-mo cutscenes when you land a headshot on an enemy, it has many weapons to use, upgrades and stuff, i love it!
It has it's few flaws but it's so much fun to play! Give it a try.
Also, just look up the box art... It's badass.
Also sorry for my bad english 😅
I had so much fun playing through Urban Chaos. I'm not sure if it's necessarily a sequel to the PS1 game, but it was a MASSIVE improvement haha
Amazing game. Rocksteady developed it also.
Man I must have played the demo for that game about a thousand times it was fun as hell
Oh, I stumple upon that game last year and holy shit if it's good. I really loved it
Aleblasco39 I knooow right? But nobody talks about it.
Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb warned me about Cy Girls back in the day.
Great video, used to love the way of the samurai games. They actually just announced a new one last week.... well kinda it's a spin off in the same universe called "Katanakami" looks like they are giving it the divinity treatment by switching to top down.
Now this is some cozy and specific content. Thank you Austin, very cool
Skygunner looks like a 3d Twinbee game. Im surprised they never went to 3d, that series has a lot of charm; from colourful cloud bells for powerups, bouncy animations, sunny music and wierd enemies.
There was a reason it topped the snes game charts.
"Sometimes People And Time Forget About Ya."
I guess that can be relatable for everything and games combined! 🤷♀️
you showed kessen in the beginning. That is my gem from the ps2 era. "Now! Now! Cao Cao!"
do forgotten gamecube games next, lost kingdoms 1 and 2 need to be on it, love the 2nd one
Oh man, Lost Kingdoms games; those were my jam.
ZetaGammaFigma That’s the one where you summon with cards right? I played the crap out of the first one XD
@Winged Mirage Same lol I don't remember if I beat the second, but I know I played the first one into the ground getting all the cards and fairy things
ZetaGammaFigma I never got the second one. Either I couldn’t find it anywhere or there were other games I just wanted more.Maybe I’ll track it down someday.
I remember I always liked using the super strong dragons that were linked to you by life force, so when they took damage you took damage. Looking back it really wasn’t the best card, but the idea of me being linked to a dragon was the most awesome thing ever to 13 year old me.
@Winged Mirage My most distinct memory was of the Doppelganger card. Because when you use it you summon a copy of yourself, but your copy just wanders around like an idiot. So when I first used it, I was like wtf and walked into her thinking I could push her toward an enemy, but the doppelganger apparently kills the first thing she touches, which includes you, so I died lol
I legit thought to myself "would be cool if Transformers was here" anf then I went "YOOOOOO" It was very e p i c.
You forgot Okage!
[Just like everyone else!]
Okami?
AceRay 24 if it’s that, I wouldn’t really call it a game everyone’s forgotten, just a game everyone’s heard of, but few people have played it.
More Okage: Shadow King love is ALWAYS needed!!!!!!
Okage is literally on the PS4 what do you mean
okage yes
Damn and just today i finished Genji on the ps2 emulator, such an awesome game
Your love for Yoshiko-chan was the highlight of my night, arigato
Yeah its/was an amazing game. It wasn't exactly innovative and it was a little on the shorter side. But it was dammed well executed and had a beautiful art style and story.
The final boss is a pain in the ass thou.
@@jilly9437 Haha yes he is. I had to google how to defeat him when I replayed the game a couple months ago. The really annoying part is that you can't save after defeating Taira Kiyomori so you cant really trial and error your way to defeat Kagekiyo(final boss). You have to defeat both of them in one sitting and be effective enough against Kiyomori so you have buffs and potions leftovers for Kagekiyo. its really frustrating but feels good and rewarding when you finally beat the game.
@@gentlesirpancakebottoms6692 yes, the guy that locks himself up in a magic bubble and throws elemental attacks. I am currently trying to beat that boss fight and I am saving money to buy all the resurrection and health items I can carry. I am also level 27 but I don't know if it's enough.
Lol I love how you say "Genji days of the blade did indeed come out to... Reviews....." I just find it hilarious
Anybody remember those adverts for the Transformers PS2 game with fuggin' "Wishbone" by Dropbox? Wonder who thought that marketing made sense.
Don’t forget about the Tom and jerry fighting game. I remembered that was so super rare cause they’re was so little copies made. In my opinion it was on of the best games that I ever played when I was a kid growing up. If it is or isn’t on the list. I wish I had that game again 😭
Samurai: "I would be hard on you!"
Main Character: Aight Imma head out
Attack the Giant Enemy Crab's weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE!!
Now I finally know where that meme is from XD
now u wrote down maybe 100 or more j-rpg games at once xdd
Way of the Samurai looks like a winner for me. Gotta check it out.
Great video!
1 and 2 too was awesome!
I’m just glad you’re including the music from the “Goemon” franchise.... you rule bro....
The happy trails of cold steel music set to a guy slicing people up. Love it.
I want to play Star Ocean 2nd Story all of sudden... Can't figure out why...
Dude do it
"... or one Dream Theater song" LOLOL I am one of the 2 ppl that appreciated that reference XD
Yes because Dream Theater suuuuuuuuucks
@@klausklebstoff8240 "someone likes a band i dont = they suck!!!" Lol what a tool
Fingers crossed that Austin releases a B-Daman retrospective. That series is stuck in the furthest most inaccessible recesses of everyone’s mind
What about Blood will Tell based on Osamu Tezuka's Dororo?
that game.... the samurai w blade after hands? im right? cuz that rly awesome one
@@gulyasdavid6170 Yeah, it also got a new reboot anime that came out last year.
@@ryantheanimator1156 rly? damn... thx the info bro
To be honest, I did the same thing with my mp3 player's record feature. Had to listen to the opening for Naruto GNT4 on the bus to school somehow.
What's this? OwO
TH-cam gave me a notification as soon as its uploaded?
SO THAT'S SKYGUNNER!!!
God I used to see this in the local rental store like ALL THE TIME and never figured that it would come close to being this, would have picked it up if I had known back then
This was a fun and nostalgic video! I've never heard of you. I'll sub now.
I really wish you would have talked about the Xenosaga trilogy. Man those games are so underrated.
I totally agree with the inclusion of the 2004 Transformers game. It's a great licensed game and easily has some of the best graphics I've ever seen on the PlayStation 2. Even though the resolution and frame-rate are absolute crap... no seriously, the developers even tried to make up for the horrible frame rate using some sort of over the top motion blur.
Xenosaga is my favorite PS2 series. I played the shit out of it when I was younger.
"Attack it's weak-point for massive damage."
Not bad keep up the good work man! Your humour was the right kind of light for me
"Vexx" is one game i have really fond memories about from my ps2 days.
Me 2
how come nobody talks about klonoa 2?
2:45 Ooooh yeeeah! Super Turrican music in the background!! I approve!
9:44 And Gundam Wing Endless Duel! Nice!
The Transformers PS2 game had a twist that caught me super off guard. There's the level where you start on that island with the aircraft carrier nearby. When I saw it I was immediately like "Oh crap it's Tidal Wave". Then you go inside the carrier, fighting the Decepticon clones and stuff and I was all "Oh I guess it's just an aircraft carrier, Tidal Wave wouldn't let you go inside him" Then you get to the end of the stage and he starts transforming and it's just the biggest oh shit moment followed by a boss fight that I remember being a pretty spicy difficulty spike.
Odin Sphere needs more love. It was hard and grindy, but it was fun and had a pretty neat story.
I think it got a remake on Xbox 360 but it still didn’t get much attention
It's on Ps4/vita, added a ton of stuff. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
You really deserve so much more subscribers, bud. Your editing is great and every video you make has such a fun theme. Cant wait to see more! You rule.
18:05 Holy crap! I did not expect either Way of the Samurai nor Fantasy Life music! Nice selection on both fronts my dude.
(Edit) Also, glad to see you are a man of culture regarding your cheeses.
Listening to the music in the background of your videos takes me back. Star Ocean 2, that weird Gundam Wing fighting game I played a rom of because it was Japan-only.
RAD: Robot Alchemic Drive is my favorite forgotten PS2 game.
The basic moral I got from this video was “NORMIES, REEEEEEEEEE-“
Good thing it's quarantine season cause I can not stop watching this dudes videos, banger after banger after banger.
Just yesterday, I came to the channel and thought "Austin hasn't uploaded a video in a month." Then you post this the following day. I don't know why I was so impatient.
I remember that Transformers game. My cousin bought a PS2 and I believe he rented that game. I only saw like 5 minutes of it but I thought it looked awesome. Mainly because I never seen a Transformers game, at that point and I love the Transtormers.
When I read the title, I thought of Rogue Galaxy. Mainly because I started playing it a day ago and I never heard of that game until 2 or 3 months ago. If I never heard of it, then it's forgotten.
Technically way of the samurai got two spiritual successors one on PS3 and the other on Vita, but they were never given English releases, but a lot of the combat and branching stuff is present in both.
No one talks about the PS3 nowadays, he probably forgot...
which games do you mean exactly ? Cant be that I missed any WotS games...
Final Fantasy XI snatched my young girl soul.
I'm so excited it's coming to mobile.
Great stuff Austin!
that MP3 couldn't even hold 1 Dream Theater song LOL. great video.
I like how Austin has plenty of connection to the outside world but is still stuck in the *attic
I thought that he was hiding in an attic?
Edited accordingly
What was he hiding from again?
Switch Dog I’m confused on that too
@@41dn I assume that he's hiding from fans of Berserk: Guts' Revenge.
lnsflare1
The connections to the outside world.
Skygunner seems to be the game here that has captured my interests .
Thank you for making this, now I know which ps2 games i will play in my channel.
Nice. I love videos about forgotten games.
It spreads the awareness. There's something to learn from the hidden gems. And even those that aren't hidden gems, but were forgotten anyway. As long as they're not completely crap that is.
9:35 dude, I remember that game! It's cool. I love the visuals.
17:00 Ninja girl is way better
20:20 you mean fifteen-sixteen hundreds?
How about psi ops the mindgate conspiracy, awesome and underrated game.
Ah, I saw a playthrough of Way of the Samurai. It looked fun. Never played it though. Haven't played any of these honestly. Cy Girls is clearly the one to pick up though.
cy girls i was in love w that 2 babe xdddd
5:43
"They had ONE GUY as the blood effects designer? Yeesh, he must have been working 24/7"
Holy crap- skygunners, I have been describing this game for years! Bought before end of video, subscribed! And you missed Chaos Legion!
"I miss fresh air" hits different now
14:10 why you gotta do Falcom dirty like that :(
Way of the Samurai is amazing. I loved the intro and I loved the branching paths. I'm trying to track down a copy of Way of the Samurai 4 now.
Hey man, this video is pretty good. Keep it up!
when u showed the plot for cy girls. i instantly thought so for legal reasons they changed "EA" to... um what name did she again? lol 🤣
Calling out normies while playing Dwarf Fortress, starting out with a startlingly accurate portrayal I see.
Oh my god, SkyGunner looks exactly like something I would adore. Kind of reminds me of Zwei by Falcom aesthetically. Thank you Austin, now I know the next obscure-ass PS2 game I'm picking up when I've gotten through the stack of obscure-ass PS2 games I have built up.
I absolutely love the Way of the Samurai series. All of them. That series and Tenchu will always be in my top 5, and I love when people mention it.
8:32 Pwepawing fuwel~! UwU
Way of the samurai 3 and 4 are on PC, and pc is forever.
It was me, Austin. I bought all the Army Men games. Sarge’s Heroes on 64 was a big part of my childhood.
Wow! Forgotten is right... I used to LOVE Sky Gunner! I forgot I even played this till now. Thanks for including it! 😊
Duuuuude, the Mystical Ninja Goemon intro music hahaha what an awesome choice
I actually have that exact same sign in the background. Cool😀
that is the way of the samurai game that changed my childhood. Every time I talk about this game everyone around me has no idea what it is.
14:10 Loved me some Tokyo Xanadu, Waiting on that sequel still.
The fact that you mentioned Bujingai the forsaken city earns instant respect. I love that game so much.
That trails of cold steel music tho . I see youre a man of culture , austin
I have some nostalgia for Sky Gunner as well. While I never actually played it, it was the first thing I saw when I stumbled upon G4's 'Cinematech'. Like you Austin, the opening really stuck with me and it introduced me to a (at the time) great tv channel for gaming.
Hell yeah Cygirls!
That one game I kept playing the demo over and over and over again, finally got my hands on the game a few month ago.
Hey Austin, you should check out Eve Of Extinction (E.O.E.) also on PS2. It's a futuristic game where you use different types of lightsabers, it's pretty cool! Really hope you'll make a second video on forgotten PS2 games.
The fact that you use Danganronpa and Mystical Ninja/Goemon music is a trivial but genuine reason why you're such a fun TH-camr.
That aside, this is a fun topic!
I had an obscure samurai slasher game, and you talk about some samurai games.
Did the PS2 have a thing for samurai's?
That flight-esque game reminds me of Tail Concerto another Atuls published game. Also, props for featuring 2XL in that commercial. Maybe I'll get myself one for xmas 🤘
I remember playing the demo for Genji on one of those Jampack demo discs
Transformers for Playstation 2 was awesome. Never watched much of the cartoon, but the game was so much fun. It was the piece of media that introduced me to the terribly awesome Transformers PSA's. Thanks for covering it. I haven't thought about that game in a long time, but seeing it again made me internally squee.
OMG I remember Cygirls and Transformers from PS2 demo discs. Man those always seemed interesting but I never got around to buying them.
That bgm at the beginning had me yelling "dash, dash, dash IMPACTO!!"
I love that PS2 Tranaformers game.
The gameplay is so cool. The exploration, flying, customization, etc...
Skygunners!! Thank you!!! I loved that game *still have it btw!!* Also you have a new subscriber!!
That Mystical Ninja background music though!
