I recently got a elgato game capture HD which let me finally set my PS2 back up and on top of that, I can stream right from the console instead of having to emulate games I already own just get to them playing on my monitor. I also wasn't really playing anything on new consoles at the moment so I bought a grip of PS2 classics I've been meaning to play and I'm going to stream a crap ton over the next month while I run through them. My stash so far:

Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry 3
MGS 1-3 (metal gear July crossover, I've never played these games original hardware and now I can check out the stuff missing from HD ports like the Ape Escape and Skateboarding crossovers)
Ace Combat 4
Ace Combat 5
Silent Hill 2

and more as people give recs. I've played a fair amount of classics on PS3/vita in the years since but please let me know of good relatively short games I can pick up and play this summer. I'm also going to pick up a SMT game, I've played Persona 3/4 and nocturne but I wanna check out a DDS or devil summoner . I also kinda wanna play Jak and Daxter, my friend had it and I played it frequently but never owned it myself. It seemed cool. Oh and maybe I'll finally try some crash bandicoot games...

Let the summer of classic gaming begin!!!

Jak and Daxter is great, but really pretty easy, still worth checking out. Jak 2 and 3 are more challenging, but they're kinda inconsistent with their difficulty; they've got some very cool stuff going for them though and the world is very interesting to run around in.

Along the lines of mascot platformers is Ratchet and Clank. 1 is super difficult at this point and its age is showing, but 2 is good and 3 might be one of the best ps2 games ever.

I hated jak 2 because it turned into some GTA clone in the city

Burnout 3, SSX 3

I own these as well but I didn't include them in the OP because I've beaten them in the past. But I still play Burnout 3 basically every time I turn the PS2 on, just to do a couple of events.

I love all 3 of those games, even if Ico's combat is pretty bad. The animation on the couple holding hands is still impressive to me

I like both Tricky and 3. They're like the Burnout Takedown to Burnout Paradise of the SSX franchise (events on a menu to open world)

Steambot Chronicles is the closest thing to a new MM Legends game

Disaster Report is a weird natural disaster survival adventure game and Raw Danger is the better-in-every-way sequel, this series is coming back on PS4 with a true sequel and a spinoff where people are trying to survive Godzilla attacks and Evangelion battles and poo poo

Oh I remember wanting to play Disaster report.

Some more stuff I'm going to pick up:

Disaster Report
Digital Devil Saga
Michigan: Report From Hell
Shadow Hearts
Killer7

I played god hand on PS3 but remember not really liking it so maybe I should give it another shot. And I wanna play ChainDive but I think it's JP only

R.A.D. is awesome and underrated, you control a giant robot from a street level perspective and fight giant monsters.

If you have a pal over King of the Monsters is one of the coolest fighting games released on the ps2

I've played RAD for the lulzy voice acting but after a few hours I got bored because every mission is the same and there's like 80 of them

That's fair. In Japan there's a Tetsujin 28 game with a similar conceit but more varied missions and an insanely realistic physics engine for a PS2 game. I played it and accidentally destroyed half of a Tokyo slum when I let go of the jetpack button and my robot slid on the ground for a kilometer, whoops

Get ready for a real experience. I hope you ordered both because once you finish 1 you'll want to boot up 2 immediately

I ordered DDS1 and Killer7. Ill probably pick up DDS2 later, I really appreciate that atlus still prints PS2 games so you can buy new in box copies of their games for 15 bucks and its not overinflated in value like every other used old game
