sephfire Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Like many gamers, I'm the type who likes to try a wide variety of games. I can appreciate a good game from any genre, and I try to collect the best games for every console. This thread was meant to help gamers such as myself find the great games that are somehow missing from their collection. And now, after a month of nominations, votes and the occasional bickering match, we are proud to present ... ***************************************************************************************************** The OCR Must-Have Games List Dreamcast Bangai-O Crazy Taxi Daytona USA Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of Earth Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves Grandia II Ikaruga Jet Grind Radio Last Blade 2 Marvel vs. Capcom Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Metropolis Street Racer Powerstone 2 Project Justice Skies of Arcadia Soul Calibur Street Fighter III: Double Impact Street Fighter III: Third Strike Street Fighter Alpha III Playstation 2 Ace Combat 5 Amplitude Beatmania IIDX 8th Style Beyond Good and Evil Breath of Fire 5: Dragon Quarter Burnout 3: Takedown Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Devil May Cry Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Disgaea: Hour of Darkness Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves Final Fantasy XII God of War God of War II Grand Theft Auto III Guilty Gear X2 Guitar Hero Guitar Hero 2 ICO Jak II Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Katamari Damacy Kingdom Hearts MegaMan Anniversery Collection Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Okami Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Rez Shadow of the Colossus Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne Silent Hill 2 Soul Calibur 2 Soul Calibur 3 Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria Viewtiful Joe We Love Katamari Xbox Beyond Good and Evil Burnout 3: Takedown Capcom Classics Collection 2 Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Dead or Alive Ultimate Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Halo Halo 2 Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Ninja Gaiden Black Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath OutRun2 Panzer Dragoon Orta Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Project Gotham Racing 2 Psychonauts Shenmue II Soul Calibur 2 SSX 3 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Gamecube Animal Crossing Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem F-Zero GX Ikaruga Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

D-Lux Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 BTW, isn't this more or less a favorites thread? He said that he's looking for a list of solid (well made) games, not games that you enjoy. Likability of a game is not the same as the quality of its elements, though a lot of times they do go together. Let's just hope the posters after me recognize this difference before making their selections. For example, I'm not a fan of FF7, but I won't deny its exceptional content. I only own a PS2 from sephfire's list, so I nominate: Playstation 2 Grand Theft Auto III Guitar Hero Katamari Damacy SSX Tricky (I know Taucer put it for Gamecube, but I own it on PS2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsalot Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I would say no to Disgaea 2, but yes to Disgaea. The original broke some ground, the second one just expanded on the first a little (and had a worse storyline). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Chocobo Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Nintendo DS: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (Say what you like, the games are still good.) Can we include GBA games, cause those can be played on the DS? If so: Final Fantasy V Advance Final Fantasy VI Advance Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Zelda: A Link To The Past/Four Swords Metroid: Zero Mission Golden Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orichalcon Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Since you can play PSX games on a PS2, these two games are the finest platform games I've ever played: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC: Smash Brothers Melee Wave Race: Blue Storm Resident Evil Resident Evil 4 Metroid Prime Eternal Darkness Pikmin F-Zero GX Tales of Symphonia Though i don't think the DS should be included because it's pretty new compared to the PS2. I do think we should include GBA games, since that platform is as good as dead.

Dhsu Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 ok ya why is sephire able to repeatedly create favorites threads I'm gonna go with Arek and Taucer here. When it really comes down to it, "nominations" is basically another word for "picking favorites." It'd be like having "Must-Have ReMixes: the OCR List." Hey, it's not a favorites thread because now you need *two* people to say they liked it! First of all, the fact that it's a list means stuff is being intentionally left out. Secondly, there are two possible outcomes for such a list: it will be either a) too small and narrow to accurately cover the full spectrum of genres and tastes or too large and broad to be of any actual practical use in the first place. I will say that all the recommendation threads are kind of annoying though, if not slightly out of hand. To be fair, trying new games isn't as easy and inexpensive as downloading a torrent and going through a couple thousand tracks (which is still actually pretty time-consuming). So maybe recommendation threads have a place...somewhere. But I don't think OCR should be that place. We're in the information age, people, for crying out loud. Have some initiative and try using GameRankings, GameFAQs, Google, or other 'G' website of your choice. If you really insist on getting opinions from OCR and OCR alone (I never understood this) then consider PMs or, pretzel forbid, #ocremix.

Emanon Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Well, I was going to nominate Morrowind for Xbox, but you guys are beginning to really take the fun out of this... Also, Final Fantasy Tactics for the Playstation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this is essentially a favourites thread and will eventually be closed. But it's just for a bit of fun and the idea is no less valid than that internet-videos thread that LAOS started. Why not just add your favourite, decent games as well and let the mods delete it when they're ready. It's not like they're sitting around waiting for people to point out that a thread might be a favourites thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
