Well, vote now!
My favorite has to be the XBox.
-
Xbox, but the N64 was awesome in its day... I still remember having so much fun playing splitscreen 007.
-
I liked my Dreamcast. And my Sega Genesis more than any console I've had since.
-
n64
-
Playstation 1, since it's the only one I ever owned. I bought it used, and it lasted for like 2 months before crapping out.
-
Super Nintendo :p
It's the greatest console ever made and plays the best games ever made. It's that simple.
-
I'd have to say I've logged more hours on a dreamcast than any other N64/PS1 Xbox/PS2 generation console. Me and the roomates loved to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for hours. I dont know why but it was pretty fun. Other than that I think Square's heyday was with the SNES, at least in America. FF III, Chrono Trigger, wow. I couldnt get enough of those. Secret of Mana was pretty good too.
Pawned? oh dear...... :p

Agreed. The super nintendo simply had hte best games around for it's day, and many of them outclass what's available even today. :yes:
Otherwise, from the choices given, i'd have to say the original PS. The only thing good about the Xbox is Halo and Halo 2, otherwise there arent many other good games (that I have tried) yet...
-
Try Forza Motorsport, Crimson Skies, etc.

BLAST PROCESSING!!!!?
-
Final Fantasy VI
That should be all I have to say to end the argument, but if you want I can mention ChronoTrigger, Super Mario World, Starfox, Super Metroid (drool), and Link to the Past. :D
-
PS2 or NES
-
PC.

PS2

Super NES

True true. The Snes rocks. But the N64 also had some nice games. The new Starfox game almost made me buy an Gamecube. The more I work on the SF mod, the more I want a Gamecube. ;)
Well, the only reason I didn't buy one is that I don't have time to play ATM. And I'm pretty sure I'd spent a lot of money for the Naruto games.... Damn imports are expensive.
The only PS (2) I really like are the FF games and Chrono Cross. ;)
I hope Nintendo's next console will beat the PS 3. ;7
-
SNES - apart from a few noteable exceptions, from that point onwards it always seemed to be 'ooooh look at the pretty pictures!'. I played Super Mario for a long long time and was still finding new places to explore. Mario 64 was close, but just didn't have the appeal imo.
-
As it was said, the SNES.
*returns playing his translated Super Robot Taisen 3*
-
The only console I own is the Playstation.
I've used the PS2 and N64 too They're all pretty good, but the original PS pad sucked. Dual Shock is the way to go.
My vote goes to the original Playstation. It might be slow, have sucky 3D graphics, and have minimal support for Dual Shock, but it's the console Silent Hill was originally produced for. Not only that, but Descent 1 and 2 were made for it. And just try saving your game in Descent 1 on a PS2 using a standard PS2 memory card...

Snufflepaugus.
-
Mega Drive... nuff said...
-
Pfft, just wait until the Revolution comes out, it'll blow all competition out of the water...that is...if you play consoles in your Pool...not to say that you do...but....uh....think about it...
-
crap! I needed more poll obtions!
-
snes. best controler of the day. was one of the first uses of 3d acceleration in some games (starfox for example). the conrols were also designed with 3d in mind. also was the first system that allowed you to save your game. not to mention all the games kicked ass.
genisis had its good points, at least if you liked fighting games. but it wasnt designed with 3d in mind. things like the sega chanel and the cd upgrade were cool, but they didnt take off as planned. nintendo didnt need any ghimicks to keep it alive.
of course both nintendo and sega failed to produce competitive next generation systems. sony crushed sega and forced nintendo into the realm of kiddie games. with monsters like microsoft on the sceene now the golden days of console games are over.
-
What options to your need Revenant? I can't add to it, but I'm sure an Admin will be along soon that can :)
-
XBox hands down :)
-
I know it's only a matter of time until someone posts this; so I will first :p

It's hard to decide. Dreamcast and X-Box had far too many few games that I actually wanted to play, though I still have my DC and couple of games for it. Just for design, Dreamcast is one sexy beast, and definately wins in the design department.
I'd REALLY consider voting SNES, not that I've ever had it (my friend actually has it, so I have played it), but they've made so many good games for it (like FF6).
Then again, I've had PS/PS2 for ten years now, so I guess I'm kinda biased, many fond memories of that machine. They've also made a couple of magnificent games to it (Resident Evil, FF Tactics and FF IX, Driver, Wipeout and Die Hard Trilogy for example), so I guess I'll vote PS1.
Funnily for the PS2 I've only found one game I truly love, that being Ring of Red (that game rocks :D, anybody ever played it?).
-
I don't see SNES on the poll so I put a vote in for PS2. All the good RPGs are on the playstations nowadays.
However, it looks like the xbox 360 may actually have some RPGs. Hironobu Sakaguchi's new company, Mistwalker, is developing Blue Dragon, which is an RPG for the xbox 360. Further, Akira Toriyama (DBZ guy) is doing character design. :D
-
Gamecube all the way!
-Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
-Tales of Symphonia
-Baten Kaitos
-Custom Robo
-Super Smash Bros. Melee
And of couse...
-Super Monkey Ball
The only reason I wanted to get an Xbox was for Star Wars Battlefront, but I've got that for my PC.
Gamecube > *
-
you forgot Metroid Prime 1 & 2, and Wind Waker. and for PS(2) you've got the Metal Gear Solid trilogy ;7.
-
I'd have to go with PS2, since that's the only next-gen system I own at the moment; I'm a big fan of the Ratchet and Clank series in particular. I do have a fondness for Gamecube, particularly for Smash Bros. Melee, which has made many a college evening much more entertaining. My PS1 served me well over the years; Twisted Metal 2 is, in my opinion, one of the ten best games ever made. :D While I didn't own many Genesis games, Sonic the Hedgehog was the first real video game that I can remember playing, and I'll always have a soft spot for that blue hedgehog. I absolutely love Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, as well as Super Mario Kart, for the SNES. The NES rocked simply because of Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 alone, plus the Legend of Zelda (which did have the ability to save games; SNES didn't start that). I only recently picked up an N64, and the only game I have for it is Ocarina of Time, but that's more than enough to give it a good vote. :D Hell, I could have voted for just about any of them; the only one I never played was the Dreamcast, and I have absolutely no interest in the X-Box.

PS2, cause it's the only console with games I like on it. Well the Xbox has the new Silent Hill games too but I get them for PC anyway. I'd also mention that PS2 plays SH1 but I'm not going to (even though I just did) because I don't really like that game very much, at least compared to the others anyway. Also it has MGS. And FFX! Hour long cutscenes with the occasional boss fight in between, it's my dream come true!
To be fair the Gamecube has a few games I like on it like Resident Evil 4 and Eternal Darkness, but that's really about all.

Resident Evil 4 is coming out for the PS2 soon ;7

Hmm, to be honest I can't stand the PS2 controller for those kinds of games (the ones where you can't shoot without manually aiming) because it requires your aiming to be good and the control stick is so imprecise. Much easier with the GC controller. I can't count the number of times I've been killed in Cold Fear because I overshot a zombie's head by a millimetre.
-
Out of all the controllers, the xbox one is the best for shooters. Precision thumb sticks and pressure sensitive triggers.
-
Ummm, PC,:p So it's not a console, sue me.
-
I don't like any of them. None can play FS2. :p

Pfft, Resident Evil 4 is and will always be the best on it's original console, Gamecube, all thanks to Nintendo's growing bond with Capcom.
Also, can someone PLEASE edit the Poll to include the SNES!
-
I'll go with PS, since MGS was a cool game. :p
-
Hard to say, as PS1 is the only console (from that list) that I've played with. But 'cos I own PS2, I'll go with that as my fav.

Hmmm...
-
XBox, because it is the best, everything else just sucks....
-
But any XBox game I actually want to play (there aren't many) is available on the PC... and my PC is more versatile anyway. Why would I want to spend more than £20 on a console?
-
Because it's cool?...
-
Snes.... I never play my ps2.... what a waste of money..... now I just need a palm or win ce thing that can do the roms ok... :D
-
I spent 2 1/2 hours playing my brother at Pro Evo 4 on the PS2 this evening. Now that you can't do with a PC.
(or at least, not in less than 30 minutes setup time.....)
-
You can spend 2 1/2 hours in your PC playing Pro Evo 4 with someone else...
-
Halfway across the world.
-
Yes? And?
You can also play in the same pc if that's what you mean by that.

It's no fun if you're not able to see & talk to the person you're playing with....
And yeah, you can play on the same PC.... but you have to wait ages for said PC to start up, possibly contend with crappy or unconfigured controllers, most people don't have a PC in their living room with a sofa positioned for perfect viewing, and most people have bigger TVs than Pc monitors..... not to mention the increased likelihood of crashes.
Whereas I can grab the PS2, haul it downstairs, plug it in and play in under 5 minutes. Piece...of...piss.
-
1. I assume in a PS2 you can see what person you are playing with in online multiplayer then :rolleyes:
2. A PC takes about 2 minutes to start up.
3. Most controllers I've seen are pretty similar to console ones. My own is almost identical to a PS2 one ( http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2225,CONTENTID=8674 ). Configuring controllers takes about less than 1 minute, if needed at all.
4. You can link a PC to a TV
5. Crashes are increased? Explain? It's the same game... if anything, the likelyhood of crashes is decreased (as in future patches and stuff)
Of course, you are right that the ps2 is faster to hook and play, but just because it's a bit faster, doesn't make it the only thing capable of enabling you to play that game. :p
Now if you are talking about GTA San Andreas, I'd back your claim... for a few months
-
Not really one for soccer myself...
But at least if your playing a game on the couch with a bro or mate, your threats to kick there arse can be carried out in RL. :p
-
1/ online? Eh? I never said online - I couldn't give a monkeys about online multiplayer, especially PES
2/Depends on the Pc. and then there's the game startup time.
3/And some are, in fact, pish. Point is, there's not an accepted default controller setup; if you have 2, you'll likely need to tweak the button assignments. Consoles have an instant advantage in a default common setup, and games built to take advantage of it.
4/Why bother if a console is easier to link to a TV and portable so you don't have to worry about where to put it?
5/Except a lot of Pc games are released in a buggy state simply because they know they can patch it.... and console conversions often aren't ideally suited to Pcs anyways; they're not as easy to optimize to a varied architecture and specification as for a single console spec.
My point is, it's a hell of a lot more convenient to move a PS2 into a living room - or another house - fire up a game, and play 2-player than it is to do the same with a PC. Doesn't mean a Pc is worse, it's just not as good or - crucially - convenient at split/same-screen 2 player games. Particularly as some games may be coded with an fov that assumes the players' distance from the screen.
So.... even if I play a lot of single player PC games, it's always the PS2 that gets dragged out & about for social gaming.

Nothing.
Beats a giant Halo 1/2 system link party.

Colin Mcrae on the XBox is just awesome...
I like PS/Mac better for FPS and RPGs though - the keyboard/mouse combo is the best...
As for playing PC through TV, I play XBox through Mac - it's good for recording film clips of games...
