A gentle reminder for no particular reason that you are an Xbox Series S and an external hard drive away from playing 98% of video games released before 2010. Never let companies sitting on the labor of others keep you from playing the old games you want to enjoy

There is a 95% chance this would be bad to unplayable, but there’s always that tantalizing 5% that it was developed by former Clover staff and is secretly a top 5 Devil May Cry ripoff that no one recognized until 2017. That’s just PS2, baby!

In light all the layoffs, I’ve been thinking a lot about how Duelists of the Roses only sold 77,000 copies in Japan at the and how that was fine because it was one of TWENTY-THREE games Konami released on the PS2 that year, leaving lots of room for weird experiments like this.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses (2001 | Konami | PS2): Listen to that driving Weather Report-ass piano as two anime characters blink endlessly, waiting to see if you join the Yorkists or Lancastrians at the foot of Stonehenge. Games have strayed too far from God's light.

The cars can also not only die but come back as oil-thirsty abominations and even write Resident Evil style journal entries about the horrifying process. Luckily, they are repelled by true faith in Jesus Qrist, a car that died on the "Qross" for their sins.
