Brave Fencer Musashi

Vandal Hearts, but stay away from the sequel.

>>3596225
I liked the sequel much more tbqh
the first game was too generic for me

>>3596184
Replace Vagrant Story with Mega Man Legends 1 & 2 and that's a pretty solid list.

Depends on what genre(s) you're into, nigger.

I could recommend you Command & Conquer: Red Alert, which is an awesome war/strategy game, kinda like old Warcraft games in that you build structures and mine for valuables so you can train troops, build vehicles, new structures, etc. But you would find it extremely boring if you're not into that kind of thing.

If you're into RPGs these are pretty much the best games:
Legend of Dragoon
Valkyrie Profile
Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy VII
Breath of Fire III and IV

Racing:
Need for Speed: High Stakes(the best racing game of all time imo) and NfS: Hot Pursuit
Crash Team Racing (The crash games for ps1 are top tier)

Adventure:
Crash trilogy
Tomb Raider trilogy
Spiderman I and II
Disney's Atlantis (loved this as a kid, lots of fun)

Others:
Dino Crisis I and II
Resident Evil series
Brigandine (almost impossible to find a physical copy now though)
Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense (if you want mindless fun with a friend)

I only listed games that i know and have played myself.

>Replace Vagrant Story with Mega Man Legends 1 & 2

sorry, never cared for mega man aside from the battle network series

Tomba!

It is great,

Thanks for making resellers harpy, cancer.

>>3596179
If you can't have all of this, avoid Megaman X5. It is a disappointement after Megaman X4.
Also, the best Crash Bandicoot is the 2.

Ridge Racer series, Ace Combat series, Ghost in the Shell, Rival Schools

No one mentioned Castlevania SOTN.

How else does OP get his shit

I am always surprised that no one mentions Tony Hawk's Pro Skater ever in these threads. It's not everybody's cup of tea but I guarantee if you hold on it, it will be worth quiet a good chunk of change when the skateboarding rave comes back in 10 years. Also it's a pretty kick ass game

I liked the breakable weapons mechanic, wish they kept it in the sequels.

Shit, how could I forget MGS, yeah, totally, get that too.

>>3596172
Xenogears is a must, though it was only released in Japan and North America. Shit out of luck for Eu region collectors.

Crash 1,2,3 CTR Bash
Spyro 1,2,3

FF9 just isn't any fun to play because of that stuff.

>>3598623
9 is extremely overrated, it's the "meh" FF that no one has any feeling for apart from the rabid fanbase. It's only good for the short period of Burmecia to the end of disc 2 apart from the dumb Dagger and Steiner comedy shit inbetween. Which really gives away the fact that the game wasn't really a numbered FF to begin with and was more like Type-0 but then they stuck a number on it because the PS1 was obsolete with the PS2 out and most of the real staff were working on the FF that was to become X and they knew releasing something that wasn't a numbered FF would be stupid, so they stuck together a bunch of badly paced "go here and then there and fetch stuff" around the game part I mentioned earlier

>>3598623
Could never get past the bobble-heads designs.

Okay, you didn't even play the game. Opinion invalidated.

>>3596172

If you like horizontal shmups the following 2 are the absolute best on the system.

G. Darius
R-Type Delta

Get them both :)

>>3598762
Einhander?

>>3598764

I know a lot of people like it, i never did. But yea i suppose its good.

>>3598756
Spot on
Limit breaks on 7 and 8 were way more satisfying
Not to mention horrible fucking load times every time you go into battle
9s story is a cringefest from start to finish as well

Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Castlevania Chronicles

Both great games with 2d graphics that have aged very well.

>>3600310
Why not 3?

>>3596172
What kind of games do you like?

I love Metroidvanias, so I bought a PS3 entirely for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. But maybe you like sports games, or beat em ups, or all those other games I don't like.

>>3596293
>I could recommend you Command & Conquer: Red Alert

Did you seriously just recommend a console RTS game? One that was ported from PC?

>>3600315

>preferring SotN to Chronicles
What's wrong, too challenging for you, IGAbabby?

>>3600315
so, arrange mode or original?

>>3600670
Not him, but I'm not particularly fond of either. SotN is too easy and flung open the door to subsequent death of the series.
Chronicles is just not fun to play. It doesn't feel well and the sound effects aren't that good. Music is nifty though.

>>3600681
x68k mode first

if you get your shit pushed in, switch over to arranged

>>3600683

>*rattles tits* I dnt like this game so it killed the entire series 4 me

>>3600701
What kind of shit dribbled off of your bib and onto your keyboard you meme spouting autist. The series being dead killed the series for me. Christ.

>>3600708
Rattle those tits any harder with your shitty memes they'll snap right off.

>>3600712
>I have no clue what the fuck I'm even saying right now
Are you alright?

>>3600714
Mate, if you're attention-whoring with shitty memes, you are acting like a booth babe who shakes her tits at guys who are more interested in their waifu dakimakuras, making you little more than a hands-free whore.

>>3600742
If you were any more stupid I would have to water you twice a day and put you out to sunlight. Allow me to break down my post for you using simple words

>>3600682
Symphony of The Night is easy and I don't like it much. Also, it (successfully as CV2 exists) opening the door to variations to exist led to such timeless classics as Castlevania 64, Harmony of Despair, Judgement, and Lords of shadow. These games and Konami killed the series

As in the series is dead. The last thing developed in it was more pachinko games. Which despite being somewhat fun are very clearly Castlevania in name only.

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins is essential to the ps1. It's one of my favorite games of all time.

>>3600623
It's not nearly as good as them

>>3600776
Both PS1 Tenchus have aged like milk

This game is classic, has kick ass music and multiplayer. Highly recommended if you like shooters.

9 had the worst levelling system until 12 happened and the story went to shit after the twist where Zidane is Goku and goes full CRAWWWWWWWWWLING IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN mode.

Nobody says Vigilante 8 or twisted metal?

For a playstation port its actually pretty good. Its worth picking up for the split screen Deathmatch alone.

2 of the best shmups ever created. Both perfect ports of the arcade versions. The graphics are phenomenal and will not age like other games. I would pick this over R-type delta for longevity.

>>3601572
That's even worse, truly spoken like someone who never experienced the glory of multiplayer Quake on PC outside of an amateur LAN with his friends at best.

>>3601808

Yes Quake on PC is better, but we are talking about PS games here, and Quake 2 is a good port for the Playstation.

My favorite 3D action adventure game for the playstation. Definitely get this one.

I suppose Driver is fun. I don't know any other Playstation games. You should google them, it'd give you faster and more efficient results than if you're creating a thread asking for recommendations.
