Papers, Please is easily, for me, the best game of the last 10 years. It is engaging, rich in storyline and player involvement, and executed flawlessly. It is a bureaucracy simulator, so certainly nothing like anything else on the market. Definitely check it out.
Dark Souls is an excellent example of near flawless execution of player involvement in storyline, a perfect example of how to create a connected, varied, and interesting world, and is mechanically extremely sound. It's #2 after Papers, Please for me.
Faster Than Light has to be #3. Again, near flawless execution of its goals. The best way I've found to describe it is a modern Oregon Trail, but set in space. Very fun to play, and now has tons of content.
Cortex Command breaks the mold in a lot of areas. Very fun to play and has great support for mods.
Similarly, Terraria is a new take on sandbox world exploration and building from a side-view perspective. Like Minecraft, but with more of a focus on combat and adventuring (and with, arguably, more content than Minecraft), Terraria fills a hole for sandbox games like nothing else.
If you're purely looking for systems, there's no game with more different systems than Romancing Saga for the PS2. I love this game to death. It suffers from a huge overload of systems, but they're optional to engage with and most, if not all, of them work very well. Just the fact that the world progresses as you play and not just as you complete certain quests makes this game stand out in a fantastic way.
Finally, if you haven't played Dwarf Fortress, I also recommend that. There's going to be a new release very soon, so either wait for that or go ahead and play the game in its current state. Best management/high fantasy world sim I've ever played.
>Mostly because I expected to see the full US release of DQ8 on mobile, not a shoddy port.
I knew it was going to be garbage as soon as I saw the trailer. Don't understand why anyone was surprised.
>I'm hoping that if we ever get a PC version of DQ8 (PS2 port) that some enterprising folk can hack in the voice acting and better soundtrack.
Just get the disc, pop it in, and play it on a PS2 emulator. It'll be better than whatever hackjob SE would provide.
http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Quest-VIII-Journey-Playstation-2/dp/B0009A4EV2
Play Asia occasionally sees restock of it as well, though with the upcoming 3DS release (which won't be as high quality as the PS2 version - I've already done visual comparisons) SE has probably discontinued supply, at least temporarily.
In all honesty I'm certain they intentionally shortchanged the iOS/Android port so impulsive people would rush to buy it (mainly Japan due to DQmania), then 3DS version is superior to that so those people buy it again on 3DS. A/V will remain superior on NA PS2 version. In five years or so we'll see a remaster of the 3DS version on another system with all its new features and likely A/V matching the NA PS2 version.
It's all business. How many times can they get you to buy the same thing when the best was already done years ago?
I've also compiled some prices for the games I mentioned. You'll be able to get started within a few days for around $50.00. I had to find used, because some of the older ps1 games are collectors items new and apparently sell for $200.00
PS2, used from Amazon: ~33.00 including shipping

The entire list comes to about $100 it total. If you sit down during every free moment and play, those games should last you at least a couple of months. However, those are just my suggestions. I've found Amazon to be really reliable for a used marketplace, but you'll also want to try a store like gamestop. They usually have this huge basket full of ps1 and ps2 games. If you pick one up and think it looks interesting, get it. There are a lot of hidden gems for these consoles. Good luck :)
I want to see Final Fantasy 15. I know they're going to show the HD version of 10 and 10-2, and I'm super excited for that (definitely buying it~~). But I really wish there would be more news about 15. The Final Fantasy series is one of my favorite series. And apparently, 14 will be available on PS3, which would be pretty cool since I don't own a gaming computer. I'm still working my way through 13, and can't wait for Lightning Returns.
I've been bursting at the seems wanting to talk about E3. Thank you for the opportunity!
This game used would be great. It'd hit about $11. Or this one, which would be about $6 used.
If you have about $75 to spare you can get a used PS2 and even a new copy of Tales of the Abyss. It's cheaper than buying a 3DS at least. From what I've read there's actually no 3DS extras - just a straight conversion - so unless you want other 3DS games, this is definitely the cheaper option. The PS2 is also an awesome system with tons of RPGs, so I would go this choice - I still play PS2 games (maybe because I own none of the current generation games).
If you have a strong enough PC, you could just buy the game and run PCSX2 which is a PS2 emulator. I won't get into much detail, but you need a powerful PC to run it smoothly - but alas, it is another route you could go.
I've played Symphonia, Abyss, Eternia, and Graces (not the biggest sample size) and out of them all I liked Abyss the best!
I played the game at release back on the PS2, so I can't speak to the PC version, but if you're in the US you can pick up the PS2 version shipped for less than $7 shipped.

Not too much more than the PC version, and if /u/Azul788 is right, the better platform to play it on anyways. Plus you can always resell it yourself and maybe make up that $2 difference.
If you liked the first two Onimusha games, I would still recommend 3, and even the fourth one which I'm pretty sure is a PS2 exclusive.
If you like anime:
FLCL: The complete series [Blue-Ray]
Paprika [Blue-Ray]
If you like amazing video games:
Persona 4 [PS2]
Shadow of the colossus [PS2]
If you like movies/TV:
V for Vendetta [Blu-Ray]
Battlestar Galactica: Season One [DVD]
Just a few suggestions based on nothing but some stuff I like myself. Hope you find something cool! :)
I will always sing the praises of the first Need For Speed: Most Wanted. I loved it. It felt like the perfect mixture of open world racing, customization, and car chases.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted (PS2)
That being said, NFS: Carbon was alright as well on the PS3. It's pretty much what I consider to be "The end of an era" for tuner racing in NFS.
from what I remember, the only big differences were in who the people in the social links were/how they treated you. P3P is pretty much FES just without the answer and story wise you're fine, I'd just save the MC only playthrough for someday when you get a hankering for some persona 3.
On a fan-to-fan level though, you should definitely check out Raidou Kuzunoha because it's at $25 down from a whopping $145 since the last time I checked. It's pretty fucking fun
or nocturne if you want a more traditional RPG
Whiplash! is one of my favorite games, I played the demo back in 2004 and I never stopped thinking about it! it's a great game on the ps2!
Also, back in 2004 I played a lot of my friends Game Boy Advance and he had Mario and Luigi Superstar Sega! That game was so great! It brought back a lot of memories when I recently played it!
Eggplant Wizard!
Destiny is my favorite game ever? (commenting for friend who doesn't have funds)
I would absolutely love a remastered version of the LOTR games on PS2. That was the best movie tie-in game I'ver ever played.
Oh boy a scavenger hunt
Thank you for the contest
Predictions? Halo 5. That's a big duh. Maybe Super Smash Bros U. For Sony, Destiny (the new Bungie game). Forza, of course. Probably FIFA too. Aside from that not really sure.
What would I like to see? X, 100%. Monolithsoft has a history of making good games. Xenoblade Chronicles was absolutely fantastic on the Wii, and now with the Wii U's hardware it will be amazing to see what they can do.
This would be the cheapest game on my list.
For your Board games WL I played this game once and had a blast! and same with this one
And this is for your video games WL I love this game and I like all of the games on your WL so you might too. oh andhere is one of the best tactics games I have ever played.
and for me I got to go with this I have been wanting that game too :P
Oh but they did!
Star Wars Racer: Revenge
I've played it, I own it. It is not as good as the first game but still pretty fun.
I would, however, love to see a next-gen console remake or sequel with multiplayer support and customizable characters/podracers.
Kingdom Hearts II it is the best game ever, no matter what anyone says. I need to start a 3ds fund myself!! I hope you enjoy it!!
My entry is done.
I say this at the end, but I am so terribly sorry for subjecting you to my absolutely terrible singing voice. It sound good to me when I'm actually singing (you know how we all hear our voices different than they sound to other people/recorded), but when I hear the recording, I honestly sound absolutely terrible.
There are definitely entries here that deserve to win far more than my lame attempt, but you'll have my attempt as soon as it finishes uploading.
Also, my favourite video game is a tie between Kingdom Hearts 2 and Final Fantasy X, though Ni No Kuni is up there too.
In the absence of a functional Xbox emulator to play that port of Fatal Frame 2, you're going to be using PCSX2 to play the PS2 version. Good news is that Fatal Frame III got reprinted a little while ago (about a year and a half ago?) and is easy to pick up for about $25/new. The bad news is that Fatal Frame II sold out quicker and the price is floating back up. Chances are there isn't going to be another reprint, so you either snap it up now or you wait for it to get added to PSN (in which case you wouldn't be able to play it in PCSX2).
Yakuza 2. The first game was a good foundation that felt lacking, but the second fixed the issues and included a nice 1970s-style crime movie storyline. The voices in the second are also in Japanese instead of English, and the voice acting is good, unlike the cringe-worthy VO in the first.
It only got a print run of about 20k in the US, so good luck finding a copy. The game is almost two years old, and still sells new for $45.

Basically what u/sourmilkandcereal said. Just felt like giving the links.
Thanks for the info. I know it's illegal - I'd only consider it on games like that where I'm not willing to pay $42 for a used game, which is why that piqued my interest.
I have these same versions - I got them on Amazon :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0017P1QSM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511729648&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=kingdom+hearts+2+final+mix+ps2&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=518Gy3ak3LL&amp;ref=plSrch
30 dollars REALLY isn't that bad, especially because the game is worth every penny and hour of gameplay. At least you didn't wreck a copy of Devil Summoner 1.
Original isn't greatest hits. Here, let me help you: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0009I6S0O/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr2_1?qid=1372544575&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr2&amp;pi=SL75#dpSearchKeyword
$10-20? Oh. And liquidating retailers aren't amazon.
I don't know how much you payed for your ps2 or why you waited, I recently got one myself because I wanted to replay the games I played 10 years ago and I got it for about 55 dls and it came with GTASA. Anyway, if you have 20 bucks you can get an used SotC on amazon and it could be even cheaper on ebay.

You canimport it through Amazon, and there was someone who made a patch for it so you can play the game in English. In order to play it on a U.S. PS2, you'll have to softmod it.
Be sure to sell it for this amount plus shipping
Yep, and it now comes in an HD collection with Ico that is mass produced.
PS2 Version

These are all new, not used. Multiple for $15 w/prime and others for $16+ w/shipping. Regardless, the point of my post was that KHII is both not rare and not expensive as you seemed to be implying. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove.
[Fatal Frame 1] (http://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Frame-Playstation-2/dp/B00005V9NH/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1371343196&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=fatal+frame) & [2] (http://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Frame-2-Playstation/dp/B0000AI1KK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1371343196&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=fatal+frame) are pretty scary/creepy. You're literally in a haunted house/castle with nothing but a camera to defend yourself. Specific scares: The first Hanged Woman ghost startled me so bad, I had to take a break for a bit. The crawling child in the doll room is just gyuhhhh both in terms of scares and difficulty (and bonus gyuhh for "doll room") I liked the second game better, and there's a third I haven't played.
[Kuon] (http://www.amazon.com/Kuon-Playstation-2/dp/B00024W1TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1371343349&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=kuon) is one that came in under the radar. Another haunting, though at least this character brings a bit more firepower than 35 mm film... Don't want to spoil too much, but the atmosphere and storyline have a really great creeping dread that gave me freaky dreams for MONTHS after.
Just a follow-up: KH2 is $14.99 on Amazon right now, without any special sale. I haven't looked, but since KH1 is older it's likely cheaper. This is without considering things like sales, or buying used.
So, $60 is a bit much if it's only for KH1 and 2. That said, I'm not sure what all is included in the bundle you're talking about, but I remember Chain of Memories not being very good.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is a remake very fun RPG from Disney and Square Enix. (not dumb like the title sounds)

There's one on amazon.
It's barely under your 50 dollar mark.
Edit: There's also way cheaper ones listed here but they might be hinky or damaged.
I skipped over your traditional turn-based part of your post, sorry about that. That would eliminate these two as they are action based combat:(Play the first one first though if you want to give it a try.)
If you are into a really Pokemon in Hell with demons play this one:(This is the hardest of all the ones I have posted.)
These two have a really good story but a little harder than the Persona Series: (Play the first one first though if you want to give it a try.)
I honestly cant really think of another game that is really hard on the PS2 other than the SMT games.
Edit: I provided you with the Amazon link for all of the games. Most of these have been reprinted that is why their cost is pretty low, before the reprint these games were rather expensive.
