Hmm... so what's next after FFX for PS2?

[isasir]

I purchased the Playstation 2 a few months ago via the Virgin Megastore deal. I have most of the big name games (MGS2, GTA3, FFX) and I'm almost done with FFX. So... what's next? I know there's still good titles currently in the store, like Devil May Cry, but looking at a listing of upcoming releases, nothing seems to peak my interest. At first I thought FFXI might, but I think they're gonna charge a monthly fee to play it online, which I currently don't plan on doing. What's supposed to be the next big game?

im looking foward to Maximo Ghost and Glory.

im gonna be getting "parappa the rappa 2". the first one wasnt multiplayer but the fun factor and replay value with friends is awesome.

i'd like to know too.

i beat FFX a week ago, and now I'm almost done mastering the entire game, bought the stradegy guide and I'm almost done in getting everything

i was thinking about buying metal gear. but my friend told me he rented it and beat it entirely in 2 days, so screw buying that....

what else? i have GT3, never got into it, my bros did. what else?

FFXI?

danny~!

For me it was Jak & Daxter. I absolutely love this game, tons of fun.

Jak & dax is good, but not so long. Frogdog finished bgda today. He liked it but for him it was only 14 hours. Ace Combat 4 is a great title supposedly...I always check editors choice link at ps2.ign.com I suppose upcoming State of Emergency (creators of GTA3) looks like a good one.

Jak and Daxter just screams "Rent me!" to me, and not much else. Maximo looks like a decent game, but I tend not to buy many 1P action games. Is there any upcoming baseball game (yeah I know we're out of season right now) that's getting decent press?

Trust me, Jak and Daxter is a great game, read some reviews on it. The game world is pretty big, with a lot of stuff to explore, and it just has a great atmosphere.. I'm really liking it. My next game after this is State of Emergency.

Yeah, State of Emergency looks like it'll be a riot. *groans*

Hahaaaa, but seriously, the game looks like a lot of fun, will probably be my next purchase. GTA3 is still keeping me hooked after 4 weeks. I just can't... put... the... controller.... down. Phew.

GTA3 has excellent replayability; i swapped with frogdog for MGS2 for a while (I've not played that). J& Dis a good rental if only because it's a short play, but it is a solid game if you like that genre.

I personally didn't care for devil may cry. If anybody tells me it has a plot i'll kick their ass right now. It was just one unstrung level after the next. The action was good and the graphics top-shelf, but other than that the game was just a haphazard level after the next and when I came upon my first major obstacle I guiltlessly stopped playing. Thankfully it was only a rental. I'm about 1/4 through FFX now. It's linear as all hell. In fact it's straighter than a straight line, but the story is enough to keep me playing so it's not so bad.

Would you believe it? I just beat Jak & Daxter, and I only bought it last Sunday. I loved that game, too bad it wasn't longer. Why are PS2 game so freaking short? Anyone, this one is going back tomorrow, any suggestions? That Ace Combat 4 looks good, what is that like, anyone tried it? I've never played a flying game, so that sounds like it could be fun. I would try BG: DA, but I'm pretty sure I could beat that in a rental. DOA2 looks fun too.

Skoorb, I agree about Devil May Cry, I couldn't get into it. I played until mission 4, and then took it back. The game felt very cold, no atmosphere. Plus it was HARD! I gave up after failing in mission 4 where you have to fight 3 freaking bosses in a row.

FFXI. I started playing the Final Fantasy series just for that game. I'm still on 7, unfortunately.
