It really depends on what your favorite genres are OP, PS2 has an enormously gigantic library. Not to mention in addition to all those super-popular games there's a lot of really good hidden gems that almost nobody has ever heard about.

I identify with your posting OP. I was always a poorfag as well and first things I started buying when I joined the labour force was video games and toys I never had in my childhood. Meanwhile my cousins grew up in relative affluence with their own televisions and video game consoles in their bedrooms. And also cable tv.
Here are some of my favorite PS2 titels:
>GTA Vice City
>GTA San Andreas
>Yakuza 1
>Yakuza 2
>007 Goldeneye Rogue Agent
>Tomb Raider series
>Metal Gear Solid series
>Tenchu
>God of War series
>Devil May Cry Trilogy
>Shadow of the Colossus
>Final Fantasy X
>Okami
>Kingdom Hearts Duology
>Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2
>Naruto Accel 1
>Midnight Club 3 Remix
>Need For Speed Underground 2

Of course there's a few recent games I wouldn't mind playing but not to the point of actually getting a PS4.
I don't feel any appeal towards the latest consoles principally because the idea behind these is to build a social environment.
I play games out of nostalgia and to this date the PS2 remain the most appealing console to me.

Personally, I went with the DSLite simply because it wasn't region locked.
I can't blame you for avoiding multiplayer either, there's nothing left to salvage at this point.
You can't go wrong with emulating, this is a nice way to make up your mind before if you ever consider getting the real deal in the future.

The whole fighting genre being super popular despite being terrible games to play solo. Pokemon having 2 versions of the same game to force you to socialize.

>keep it PS2 only
I'm sorry but i want to share my conclusions on psVR with my fellow wizards.
Tldr- DONT BUY IT.
Some games are immersive as hell and I'm gonna sink a lot of time into it despite all the negatives below.
-resolution is too low. I can see single pixels.
-hardware is too weak to handle high quality textures and rendering. Most games look like what I see without my glasses on. Reading text is (in most cases) a low resolution strain on eyes. Sometimes it's not readable at all.
-tracking is not bad bud not what is the best. There is no boundary check to make sure I won't hit a wall. What I expect from vr is being able to walk around my room freely and without a fear of irl obstacles. this leads to a little feature that saves me from readjusting helmet after talking it off to look around irl
- there is no camera view that allows to walk around and see irl world.
So basically 3 big deal breakers for perfect vr experience. Space for movement is more elaborate topic because not everyone have an empty, 10 square meter room to walk around. Some people are fine with couch vr. But Being able to walk around garage in virtual rickality and reaching far away objects is great. Other games benefit from it too. That's why it's really important part of vr imo. (And don't forget porn games are exclusive for PC)
I'm using it for 2 days so far and on a second day I used it for an hour or two. I don't get the whole "vr legs" thing. There was one game "loading human" that gave me serious motion sickness; turning in farpoint and skyrim isn't easy for my brain either but there are other options for movement. I'm sticking to smooth turning because despite it's Caveats it doesn't break immersion unlike sharp turning/teleporting.
Oh and super hotVR is my favourite so far. It reminds me of hotline Miami but in 3d and VR with my whole body as part of the game. I have to move around to dodge bullets and get a better aim. Graphics don't need much processing power so it looks decently.
No.47346
>>46268Loved that game. Rented it as a kid from a chain similar to Blockbuster and had a blast finishing it. Personally, even as a kid, I thought the stealth sections were just as cool as those that focused on the combat. Not sure how I'd feel about it now exactly, but, either way, I have fond memories of it. Perhaps I'll even emulate it at some point, since it'd be interesting to revisit it after all this time.
As an aside, it's interesting to note that 'Shadow of Rome' was the prelude to the 'Dead Rising' series. The use of wrestling moves specifically, like in that gif, was something you can see that was imported over into DR. Would've liked to have seen a SoR 2 somehow instead of DR, but that's just me.
