I started playing music around the time my friends moved on to PS2 from PS1 and I didn’t have any bandwidth for anything else for years. Everyone my age has these memories and I have never played more than a couple of hours of PS2 in my life. I’m like Tony Hawk, AMIRITE?
I wasn’t allowed any video game consoles growing up, but I’ve gotten into emulation in recent years. Ps2 games have been my absolute favorite (they also emulate really well) and would recommend to anyone. Definitely got to play a lot of tony hawk pro skater 2 on the pc as well!!
gender-affirming lack of obscure ps2 game
coming back to this post later to find recommendations though…
There’s plenty of girls that bonded with an obscure ps2 game in their youth. Xenosaga was the shit.
SSX Tricky
Not obscure at all
N64, but I was obsessed with the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics game. Picked it up recently. It is definitely shovelware.
I was obsessed with bobsledding as a kid and played so much of this game. I think my parents still have the n64 in their basement, I should see if it works.
I’m too old for it to be PS2, but “Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators”. Spent at lot of time on that for a game that is an ad for McDonalds.
that’s how i feel about yo noid
It’s a PS1 game, but still. I loved this game. If I wasn’t playing Twisted Metal 2 then I was playing this.

I played a LOT of Project Eden on PS2. It was such a quirky (and buggy) game but I still have a lot of great memories playing it.
That top down hot wheels racing game was the shit
Onimusha for me, or maybe dark cloud if that counts.
Enteral Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (GameCube)
Dark Cloud 🤘🤘🤘

It’s not, he’s talking about himself.

Ask yourself: Would this meme have seemed sexist if it had said “between a girl and the ps2 game she grew up with”?
Still specific. Somehow not “exclusive”. In my view, it’s just the noir trend of including pointed details to generate a firmer visual in people’s minds. He’s not drinking “a shot of liquor”, he’s drinking “a 4-year-old cognac that the bartender lied and said was 12 years”
For me it was Kya: Dark Lineage. I think it wasnt a major hit when it came out but I use to love it and I thought no game came close
Is Project Snowblind obscure? Because I could do Jet Li’s Rise to Honor instead.
Trapt for me. Shame the Deception series ended there.
