TGVGD The Great Video Game Draft (PS2 Draft)

[Benzine]

Persona 3 is my favorite of the series.

Kingdom Hearts is okay.

weeb alert, so i've been led to believe

 

[Quagmire]

Persona 3 is my favorite of the series.

Kingdom Hearts is okay.

My favorite too! Though I find 4 to be the better game, hard to explain

Same reason I would have picked SA over VC even if VC is my favorite GTA

4 plays better but 3's story is the best of the franchise.

Really excited for the 4 remake here in like 4 years or whatever

 

[dimmerwit]

I though they'd confirmed it for FY2027 (April 2026 - March 2027) but turns out it's "in or after FY2027". RIP.

[VashTheStampede]

Ok @Kat can jump in with her pick whenever she pops back in.

@Jon is on the clock I believe?

 

[Ben]

[VashTheStampede]

Oh shit I thought you went and we were on the backswing

My bad man

 

[Ben]

I'm thinking Guitar Hero 2 and the original Devil May Cry.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I was wondering when a Guitar Hero would drop.

 

[Jon]

I'm thinking Guitar Hero 2 and the original Devil May Cry.

DMC was on my list for this round.

I think I'll be a little risky and hope my reserve pick falls back to me, but I'll take a safer pick this round of a top 10 seller on PS2:

Dragon Quest 8: Journey Of The Cursed King

@Bandicoot/@dimmerwit

 

[dimmerwit]

24 hrs (plus a bit more sorry) so I'll think of a pick.

Have you told her how incredibly important this business is?

 

[Joseph Snapple]

That's the Wall, brother

 

[Bandicoot]

17 alerts, none of which pinged my emails. Apologies. What’s the craic?

 

[Bandicoot]

Is it me, do you require three titles? The fact that I’m aware of this means I’ll deffo check in regularly like with the n64 one. I just didn’t realise it was live. Soz.

It's all good dude, but to be fair, I think you should make your picks before I make my next one since you're back. Vash hasn't updated the first post but I'm pretty sure we're on round 4 now lol

Dark cloud
Beyond good and evil
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 THPS4
Escape from monkey island

@Tommy Boy

 

[Tommy Boy]

SOCOM II U.S. Navy SEALs

I had the online adapter and headset for this game. It is definitely what got me into CS eventually, but this game really was my favorite PS2 game for a loooooong time. Playing online with other people not on a computer was fucking insane to me at the time (~ 2003-2004)

@Benzine

 

[Ben]

Dark cloud
Beyond good and evil
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3
Escape from monkey island

@Tommy Boy

dimmerwit already picked THPS3. Other three are good ones though. I was just wondering if a Monkey Island had released on PS2.

 

[Bandicoot]

Cheers Ben. I misread it as 4. Which means I can pick 4. Probably the better game, though I did play 3 to death.

I was reading through the thread. Interesting statistic about my posting average. You posted your “he should be here any time now” was on my birthday and I had to skip that check in. But I believe I’m now back roughly on schedule

THPS4

 

[dimmerwit]

I was really on the fence about 3 and 4, and in fact before I recently played the remake I would have gone for 4. I did ultimately just prefer the levels in 3 and it probably outweighed the lack of 2 minute timer that I liked about 4 (which sadly the remake doesn't do).

 

[Benzine]

Now we're getting into the more exciting section of the draft. What strategy should I employ?

The Simpsons: Hit & Run

 

[Bandicoot]

Thps3&4 is good but the four content doesn’t really do thps4 justice. It’s not just the 2:00 timer, or the levels, but the mechanics of the game itself.

 

[Benzine]

@Quagmire

 

[Quagmire]

Time Splitters 2

@TD

 

[TD]

I have a pretty lengthy list of games under consideration here, so instead of overthinking it I'm just going to go with what my gut says.

For my first racing game I'm going to grab:
Burnout Revenge.

For my first fighting game I'm going to grab:
Tekken 5.

@Quagmire

 

[Quagmire]

Shadow Hearts 2
