gps2t Grand PS2 Tournament (Nominations Closed)

[LordCowCow 840]

Decided to just go for it. It'll run much like the previous, especially the latest which was PS1, but anyway basically you'll nominate PS2 games and they'll be pit against each other in polls to see what NCM's top PS2 game is.

Rules

Spoiler

1. Each person may nominate 3 games. Make sure to put up the specific, full, title so there's no misunderstanding.
1a. This number may increase.
2. Only one nomination is needed for a game to be in. The goal is at least 32 but if we can get to 64 that'd be great.
3. Please no alt accounts or getting people to vote for a game when they otherwise wouldn't. That's not cool and if I find out it happened the game could be disqualified.
3a. Advertising matches is okay but it's not okay to specify who you want people to vote for at the same time.
4. Matches will all be 1 v 1 and randomized. No ties will be allowed. There will be a time limit but I will try and get at least 10 votes per match.

ngl, for a second I thought those were all gonna be Kingdom Hearts titles

[LordCowCow 840]

So if we don't get one more by uh...Monday, I'll throw in another myself I hope y'all don't mind. (Or I can randomize of those who nominated and pick from there if that's an issue)

That being said if we get more than one more I'll add them into a "maybe" category and, depending by Monday how many over 32 we have, up the number of nominations.

Unless everyone else that nominated can promise they have 3 more nominations they could do then I can just bump it up and aim for 64 right away. I know I do.

Got another nomination you wanna throw out there, by chance?

[Nico 116]

Hold on, I actually typed up some games on some of the earlier systems I have some experience/interest in and out of the ones I really know... I was thinking the first Kingdom Hearts, but thought maybe it had no business when the 2nd was already there, and now that Jak 1 is also here, I'm out of PS2 games I can think about I really played. It was a generation of games I completely missed out on owning, but I played more GameCube games at the time on the very rare instances I went to a McDonald's Play Place that had a station.

I did however really enjoy some LPs of the other Jak games and the story then, so I guess that might be enough?

Jak II

If we were to just go to 32, which one would you prefer?

[Nico 116]

@LordCowCow That would be 3.

[Thar 502]

So are we going to 64 or are we starting?

Okay, from asking around, I will be upping the max nomination to 5 for now and see how fast that fills up. So that's two more each. Wanting to start this soon but don't want to start at an awkward number.
If you make new nominations please make another post with them so I don't miss them.
